"For now, the most advanced Soviet fighters should be the MiG-25 fighters." In the U.S. Naval Fighter Weapons School, Emily continued to complete her mission to train first-class pilots, and at the same time use the intelligence obtained by the CIA. It is planned to be linked to the fighting here.
Some time ago, the focus was on MiG-23, but now, it is MiG-25.
Before the MiG-25 was decrypted, the entire NATO was shocked by this powerful fighter, which can achieve three times the speed of sound, just like a sword hanging high above NATO.
"Now, let's study the plan of using our Tomcat fighter to fight against the MiG-25 fighter." Emily continued, and saw Nathan sitting below, with a blurred look in her eyes. Knowing that he was thinking again.
"Major Nathan, what do you think of what I just said?" Emily asked.
In the entire classroom, there were only more than 20 people, all of them were instructors in the school, with rich experience, and among them, Nathan had faintly grown into the pillar of the school.
It's just that since Jenny left, Nathan has always seemed a little bit distracted, and anyone with a discerning eye can see why, and Emily's question now is of course purposeful.
Jenny has been away for two months. During this time, Emily and Nathan didn’t have much contact. Nathan never showed up in the bar. Sometimes when she was free, Nathan would play the guitar on the lawn of the airport. And Emily, sitting quietly not far away and listening, nothing more.
Nathan seemed to close her heart, and she seemed to be waiting for her lover. Emily knew that the night Jenny had left, Nathan went to Jenny's place, but she didn't know what happened between them
Thinking of this, Emily bit her lip, remembering that night.
At this time, Nathan came back to his senses and said to Emily: "About the MiG-25, I think we have fallen into a misunderstanding. I think this is a fighter that surpasses the times. However, if you think of the Soviet industry, Basically, we can boldly speculate that maybe it is different from what we imagined."
The pursuit of double triples is the Air Force’s dream, but it is not easy to realize it. For example, the United States already has a Blackbird reconnaissance plane, but this thing is quite awkward. It is made of all titanium alloys, which is quite expensive. Can be used as a reconnaissance plane.
Of course, the Blackbird is also top secret now, and among the people present, only Emily knows its existence.
The Soviets, on the other hand, achieved a fighter jet at three times the speed of sound.
Is it possible that the aviation technology of the Soviets has greatly surpassed the United States
Of course not. The Soviets have never surpassed the United States in these fields. What the Soviets have is just a more powerful system integration capability!
(Speaking of the imported S300, it opened the eyes of the Chinese military personnel. None of them are advanced. But when people put it together, it is a very effective set of weapons, which thoroughly inspired our scientific researchers.)
"Nathan, what point of view do you want to express?" At this moment, Oort, who was also in the audience, also asked with great interest.
"If you want to fly to three times the speed of sound, the thermal barrier is in front of you. Most of us are thinking of using titanium alloys. Have you ever thought about it. It can be achieved with more common things," Nathan continued.
At three times the speed of sound, the friction between the aircraft and the air will generate a very high temperature, which is enough to melt the aluminum alloy. Therefore, common aviation materials cannot be used in the aircraft. What is light and high temperature resistant
Naturally, it is titanium alloy, but this thing is too expensive and difficult to process.
Now, Nathan just said to himself: "I think it is impossible for the Soviets to build such a fighter from titanium alloy. If it is made of stainless steel, it might be more suitable."
In later generations, when Belenko defected, the Americans finally revealed the secret of the MiG-25. This guy was actually made of stainless steel. This thing was cheap enough and resistant to high temperatures. The Soviet designer was a cow. Combine your own reality and come up with something that combines your own industrial foundation.
Moreover, this thing can be equipped with a large amount of equipment. If it is said that the shortcomings are fuel consumption, a dozen tons of fuel will be gone at a time, but the Soviet Union has oil fields and is not afraid of fuel consumption.
Nathan just talked casually to give everyone an idea, but I can't say too much. The MiG-25 is a fighter that looks very powerful, but in fact it is bad. Although it flies fast, it is at most used for escape. The maneuverability is not good, the radar power is strong enough to "roast a rabbit", but it can't be far away, even 100 kilometers is not enough.
It was this fighter that actually suppressed NATO's trembling, which is ridiculous when I think of it, but now, by looking at everyone's appearance, you know how much they attach importance to.
stainless steel? Alter suddenly vetoed: "How is this possible? Can a fighter plane made of stainless steel fly?"
"As long as the power is enough, the bricks can fly into the sky." Nathan continued. These words made Emily's eyes shine. Nathan's words seemed to make sense!
Unfortunately, there is no evidence. If you want to enter the CIA database, you must have evidence.
"Let's study the tactics against MiG-25 fighters." Emily said: "According to our systematic analysis, the use of Phoenix missiles for head-on attacks also has a high hit rate."
The combination of Tomcat fighter jets and Phoenix missiles gives fighter jets the ability to intercept 100 kilometers away. This is what all commanders dream of.
It's just that the propaganda is too small to fall, in fact, it needs to be specifically considered.
The Phoenix missile has a maximum speed of more than Mach 4, but it is in the power phase. After the rocket engine is burned, it is the unpowered phase. The speed will become slower and slower. If the tail chase attacks the MiG-25, I am afraid that it will not be able to chase. In the above situation, head-on attack is better, after all, the radar reflection area of the MiG-25 is very large.
However, this success rate will not be high, because the Phoenix missile only has a maximum overload of 17G. Similarly, this is also a power stage. With such a small maneuverability, it can almost only hit bombers. It is more than comfortable with high-maneuverability fighters. And the power is insufficient.
Unless the other party is defenseless.
Nathan knew that he couldn't say more, Emily was very clever, and if he analyzed the MiG-25 carefully and thoroughly, he would arouse suspicion.
In Alaska, Nathan experienced it.
Anyway, when Belenko defected, everything became clear. At this time, Nathan had obviously forgotten that this time and space had many deviations from what he knew.
And Nathan didn't know how much the Belenko incident had touched him, because Nathan finally knew what time and space he traveled through. At that time, he couldn't help but uttered a national curse.
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside, and then a beautiful figure appeared at the door.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm calling for Major Nathan." (End of this chapter)
