Chapter 502: Jump up and fight
In the venue, the discussion continued.
“Use a fighter jet?”
“It’s out of reach, and it’s not even close.”
“Air-to-air missiles? It can’t make up for this gap, it’s almost 5 kilometers. ”
"I think it's better to focus on driving away, so that it can't achieve its goal. It doesn't have to be defeated."
"..."
Gao Zhendong listened to everyone I had already made up my mind about what I would say.
Looking at his calm look, the leader of the National Defense Working Committee was also presiding over the meeting with great energy. It seemed that at least he had something in mind.
Gao Zhendong is not the kind of person who has nothing to do with his own affairs. He is extremely proactive in his work. The calmer his expression is, the more thoughts he has in his heart, and I am very confident in my own ideas, otherwise it would never be like this. Instead, I will try my best and think hard.
After everyone had agreed, the leader greeted Gao Zhendong.
"Zhendong, tell me what you have in mind."
Most of the people at the meeting were in high spirits. Most of the people who came to the meeting today had participated in the P-2V fight last time. Those meetings were all about masturbating, so there wasn’t much difference.
So everyone still remembers Gao Zhendong’s performance last time. The Tu-4 Special that shot down the second P-2V was modified according to his suggestions, and the entire combat process also proved that It turns out that his combat scenarios at the time were completely realistic, which is amazing.
And judging from the entire process of shooting down the P-2V, even without infrared air-to-air bombs, the Tu-4 Special modified according to his suggestions will cause great trouble to the enemy, and it will eventually be shot down. destiny.
This is amazing. You can use the limited resources at hand to solve very difficult practical problems. Not everyone has this ability.
So everyone attaches great importance to his speech, especially the comrades in the Air Force.
Gao Zhendong put away the pen he had been recording. The comrades’ speeches were also very exciting and he could learn a lot from them. He had been listening and recording them carefully.
“I have some ideas, but they may not be mature. Let’s bring them out and discuss them.”
“The first method, as mentioned by comrades just now, is to develop a highly maneuverable This method is one of the long-term goals, and I personally believe that it must be pursued and realized. Of course, this method is not urgent, and it is not easy. In any case, it is not enough time. We cannot watch the enemy flying overhead. Moreover, the operational initiative of anti-aircraft missiles is not enough. Even if it is accompanied by air defense in field operations, it is actually a passive defense, not an active attack."
Field combat accompanied by air defense? What kind of bird thing is this? I understand, but we don’t have this idea now. Maybe it’s done by foreign countries.
Ignoring everyone's confused looks, Gao Zhendong continued to explain his thoughts: "I think this method should still fall on the fighter side. My idea is to jump up and fight. ”
Some people are confused about this statement.
"Jump up and fight? How to fight? How to jump?"
But the comrades in the Air Force understood it. Although they didn't expect it at first, when Gao Zhendong said it, he Thinking of it, he asked: "Comrade Gao, do you mean to use leap to fight?"
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, the practical ceiling of the Zhan-5 fighter jet is about 16,000 meters, right? The maximum ceiling should be higher than this."
The Air Force comrade said: "Yes, yes. It's higher, but it still can't reach the height of the U-2. "
The principle of the jump strategy is actually very simple, that is, the aircraft flies diagonally upward at the ceiling altitude, throws itself out, and relies on inertia. Fly to a higher altitude.
Above the ceiling, the plane flies in a parabola and has basically no maneuverability.
Fighting a fighter jet is undoubtedly dangerous in this state, but as it happens, what we are facing now is a reconnaissance aircraft with poor maneuverability.
In fact, a few years later, we used Zhan-6 fighter jets. Using this tactic, we used the Liu Ye with a practical ceiling of about 17,500 meters to jump to more than 19,000 meters, and used aircraft cannons to shoot down Citigroup at an altitude of about 20,000 meters. Firebee" unmanned reconnaissance drone.
“This sounds like it can be done, but how high can it be thrown?”
“With the height at that moment, is there enough time to attack?”
“This pair of pilots Is the requirement too high?”
“16,000 meters can’t jump to 20,000 meters, right? Air cannons can’t make up for this height difference”
"..."
Listening to everyone's words, Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, even if it jumps, the Zhan-5's aircraft cannons will still be unable to reach the U-2, just like a two-year-old child , even if you jump up, you can't hit me in the face. But if you give this kid a stick, it will be different." "Stick?" Comrade Gao's eyes lit up, "Comrade Gao, you mean to install it. Infrared air-to-air missiles?”
Gao Zhendong smiled: “Yes, add infrared air-to-air missiles and attack from behind and below the enemy aircraft. During the jump, the nose of the aircraft points in the direction of the enemy aircraft. This The process is to give the missile time to track the enemy. After locking, the missile is launched near the maximum altitude. The jump process not only makes up for a certain height difference, but also gives the missile a certain initial speed. When the distance is closer, the missile shoots higher. Coupled with the height of the jump, it should pose a certain threat to enemy aircraft. "
The atmosphere at high altitudes is thin, and the lift of the missile body will be reduced, but at the same time, the resistance will also be reduced. Taken together, the missile will be It is still feasible to shoot upward to a certain height.
"Well, this method seems interesting."
"Leap up + missile shoot high, it's a relay race."
"..."
Gao Zhendong again Added: "This method is not without its disadvantages. First, the number of Zhan-5 pylons is not enough. At least one auxiliary fuel tank must be sacrificed to mount missiles, which will cause the combat radius of the fighter to decrease."
< br>5ye only has 2 pylons, and he did not consider the issue of adding missiles at the beginning. He can only hang 400 liters of auxiliary fuel tanks, 500kg bombs, and uncontrolled rockets. But if new pylons are added to the body, it will be modified. The noise is huge, so the only way is to use the original hanger.
The comrade from the Air Force thought for a while and said with a smile: "This is not a big problem. Our fighter jets do not have to return to the original airport. As long as the interception route is well planned and the aircraft lands at the nearest airport, it can make up for the loss of range of the auxiliary fuel tank."
For them, as long as they have ideas, they can find ways to overcome it. What they fear most is not having any ideas.
Hearing this, Gao Zhendong put aside this issue directly: "Secondly, this requires modifying the existing pylon, which requires a certain amount of modification work, and the weight and aerodynamic shape of the air-to-air missile and auxiliary fuel tank They are all unbalanced and require training in control. In addition, the jump warfare method requires training. This is a test for the pilots."
The comrades in the Air Force did not take it seriously when they heard this: "Thank you. Comrade Gao is very thoughtful about our pilots, but don’t worry about it. It’s just training. It’s easy to talk and no comrade will frown.”
Gao Zhendong said with a smile: “I am fully satisfied. If you believe in comrades in the Air Force, then that’s good, that’s good.”
The comrades in the air force laughed, their eyes sparkling as if they had some secret.
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee had a smile on his face. Sure enough, Gao Zhendong was very careful about this.
In fact, for Gao Zhendong, as long as he attends meetings, he can always give an answer to most of the current technical issues, and they are all quite advanced and practical good ideas. Even if he I can't remember, the worst I can do is spend some time searching the database for lottery opportunities, the system upgrade, the price reduction is so considerate.
After discussion, it was finally decided that the air defense force would not drag missiles to fight guerrillas. The air force would follow Gao Zhendong’s suggestion to modify a certain number of fighter jets and deploy them at coastal airports to intercept U-2s.
After the meeting, everyone was still talking about other things in twos and threes. They were all busy at work, so it was a rare opportunity to get together and talk about other things.
The comrades from the Air Force, after exchanging a few words with the leaders of the National Defense Working Committee, came over to greet Gao Zhendong.
"Chief Engineer Gao, please take a step to speak."
Gao Zhendong followed him to a secluded place, and then the comrade of the Air Force smiled and said: "Chief Engineer Gao, I'm sorry just now, there was a Considering the need to keep the situation confidential, I couldn't tell it in public. Now I have the opportunity to further explain and communicate with you."
Gao Zhendong is a little surprised. Is there anything new?
“The fighter jets we have are not only the Zhan-5, but also the Zhan-6, a new fighter model based on Maozi’s MiG-19. This aircraft has just been completely finalized. In fact, its practical ceiling has reached 18,000 meters, and is designed to carry missiles. It can install four pylons. In addition to the two auxiliary fuel tanks, its pylons have the ability to mount Thunderbolt-1 infrared air-to-air bombs.”
This news surprised and delighted Gao Zhendong, and was a bit unexpected.
Is Master 6 ready? If I remember correctly, Mr. Liu should not be very agile now. He thought about what the Air Force comrade said and understood that Mr. Liu was not very efficient at first. One of the biggest problems was heart disease, which was the imitation engine.
It seems that the LYP-6 developed by Mr. Wang of the Northeast Aviation Research Institute was used on Mr. Liu. He came over and fanned his wings. The 591 superalloy and tungsten-molybdenum first-stage turbine played a big role.
Not only did LYP-6 mature in advance, but also from the practical ceiling of 18,000 meters, it brought a lot of changes to Mr. 6. Originally, the ceiling of Mr. 6 was 17,500. This 500 meters means What, it goes without saying.
As for Mr. Liu being able to mount missiles, this is not a new thing. It has always been like this. In his previous life, Mr. Liu relied on cannons for a long time, mainly because his own missiles were relatively weak.
That's good, that's good! Gao Zhendong laughed happily.
Firstly, because Master 6 has matured ahead of time, Master 6 is a good aircraft. With the right tactics, in our hands, even if we encounter Citigroup's F-4, we will always have the upper hand.
The second reason is that his unintentional act when he first started working actually had such a far-reaching impact, which made him even more motivated.
The third thing is that the U-2 may not be able to fly above us for long. Because the height difference is too large, if the 5th master jumps + missiles, it can only pose a threat to the U-2 and can drive it. However, if there is not necessarily a fatal blow, Mr. Liu, who has a ceiling of 18,000, can definitely hit one by one with the same tactics, making it impossible for U-2 to come back.
The comrades in the Air Force also laughed: "Chief Engineer Gao, so your tactics are very mature, jump + missile, U-2, we are ready. The aircraft is relatively new and may need some training. Time, but there are not many days left for them to be rampant in the sky.”
