Chapter 392 Export Su-27
The Soviet-born Su-27 actually defected! This is a complete Su-27 that can fly in a state! By testing the fighter jet, you can master its performance!
The United States attaches great importance to the Su-27, and the Pakistani people replaced the pillars. Leng transported the fighter jet to the United States intact, which made the United States feel happy.
Several major companies have begun to grab this fighter jet. This time, Grumman did not take advantage. The US Air Force relied on its own advantages to obtain the fighter jet. At the same time, McDonald, the contractor of the main US Air Force's -15 fighter jet, sent a large number of personnel to study the aircraft.
After all, the Soviet Union's Su-27 fighter was developed compared with the -15 fighter, requiring all data to completely suppress the -15. Now, no one knows the performance of this fighter.
After coming to the United States, Zuyev did not immediately return to the life he hoped for. In order to avoid being killed by the KGB, Zuyev was strictly protected. At the same time, American intelligence personnel began to ask Zuyev about the various performances of the aircraft without getting tired of it.
I have answered all the questions I know, but I will ask again the next day, and Zuyev was also annoyed in the end. These Americans did not trust him at all. If they wanted him to answer repeatedly, they were to judge whether there was any concealment. If the answers were inconsistent, there would definitely be a problem.
The people of McDonald's company were very treasured. When they opened the nose of the Su-27, they couldn't help but laugh at the huge and bulky radar. It turned out that this was the true level of the Soviets!
Until now, the Soviets are still using this backward radar with inverted pot lids! The United States is at least twenty years ahead of the Soviets in electronic technology!
The disassembly continued. When countless small holes were drilled on the titanium alloy beam, the people of McDonald Company were puzzled. What was the role of the Soviets doing this?
Even if they were stolen, they would never have thought that it was the extreme measures taken by Simonov to lose weight. This kind of fighter was born with chondropathy.
Fly-by-wire operation. It can also be said to be the only advanced part of this fighter. Unfortunately, it is simulated freight. Even the central flight control computer is so backward. The interior of this fighter is not as bright as the outside.
When the entire fighter was disassembled and reassembled, Brian, the most outstanding test pilot of McDonald, stepped into the cockpit. After these days of research, they had decided to fly the Su-27. After mastering the performance of this aircraft, they would conduct confrontation exercises with the US Air Force's-15.
Looking at the backward ergonomic panels, in the cockpit, Brian began to move various switches.
The right engine was started smoothly, and then the left engine was started.
When the switch was turned on, Brian did not see the familiar engine tachometer rising. In the headphones, an anxious voice from the tower came: "Switch the engine off immediately and the left fire!"
Damn, are the Soviet engines so bad?
Turn off the engine and ended the skiing, the fire truck had already come up. Fortunately, this first test flight was careful and did not install too much fuel. Moreover, the rescue was very timely and the fire was quickly put out.
However, after this fire, the engine on one side has been burned.
What to do? Looking at the dismantled engine, everyone was frowning, and there was only one engine left. It would definitely not be able to fly. If you can't fly, you would not be able to get more data.
During the ground test, they removed the engine on the right and lit a fire on the ground. They were sure that there was no problem, and the engine on the left had never been moved. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with the left hair.
"I think we need to take the 100 engine and install it on this plane for a test flight," said a technician.
Change to a 100 engine? Everyone is silenced.
"Either find the same al-31 engine or replace it with our own engine." The technician continued: "Does we have any other way?"
There is indeed no other way, so we can only use our own engine instead. However, our engine is digitally controlled, and the other party's engine is analogly controlled, so some improvements need to be made. Moreover, our engine is smaller in size than the al-31. 100 in diameter 1181 mm and length 4856 mm, while the al-31 in diameter 1300 mm and length 4950 mm.
Without the inability to repair the damaged engine, the American technicians fully utilized their intelligence and stuffed their 100 engine into the butt of the Su-27. After a month of nervous repair, the Su-27 finally flew back into the sky.
When watching the fighter plane successfully fly up, American technicians couldn't help but cheer. The opportunity to measure the various technical data of the fighter plane finally arrived!
After several test flights and successfully surpassing the speed of sound, they began to fly more and more boldly. As the flight was flying, more and more data were obtained. The Americans began to be surprised that the actual performance of this aircraft was far from the theory, especially during the transsonic process, the overload was very small, and the onboard computer was deliberately controlling this fighter to prevent it from maneuvering with large overload.
How is this possible? You should know that the US Air Force research shows that the speed range between 0.8 and Mach 1 is the most likely speed range for air combat to break out. Close combat almost happens within this range.
The Su-27, the most advanced fighter jet of the Soviet Union, has limited its maneuverability within this range. Isn’t this arbitrary force?
After several studies, they finally found that they had restricted it in the flight control computer.
What happened? After mastering other flight characteristics, McDonald's technicians finally made up their minds to unlock the restrictions on flight control.
Brian stepped back into the cockpit, and he already knew the performance of the aircraft. It had excellent aerodynamic shape and sufficient thrust. The air intake on the belly gave the aircraft a good high angle of attack performance. Unfortunately, the flight control computer artificially limited the maneuverability of this aircraft.
What did the Soviets think?
Slide again, accelerate, take off, this time, we are going to experiment with new performances!
At a height of three thousand meters, Brian pulled up the nose, and the two engines at the tail opened and afterburned, and the overload increased rapidly.
A -15 was flying next to it, and the high-speed camera captured the scene. Almost at the same time as this high overload action, the entire plane suddenly disconnected from the middle, and then the plane disintegrated in the air!
Brian had no reaction at all. The ejection seat below was automatically ignited and pushed him out of the cockpit. He looked at the fighter jets that turned into debris in the air, and were at a loss. What's going on? This fighter jets are a bit like suicide?
However, the catapult device of Soviet fighter jets works quite reliable.
Moscow.
"We have certain evidence that the Americans have obtained our Su-27 fighter jet and are conducting test flights on the runway of McDonald's company." Klyuchkov said: "Our most proud fighter jet has been leaked."
The Su-27, the Soviet Air Force's ace, is like the MiG-25 at the time, and its performance has been mastered by the Americans.
"Damn, we are going to make serious protests to the Americans!" Marshal Sokolov said.
"The Americans would not admit it at all, and, even if the Americans admit it now, it would be too late to return the fighter jets." Yakolev said: "There is no longer any secret to this kind of fighter jet."
"Since there is no secret at all, I suggest that we can export this kind of fighter jet in exchange for the foreign exchange we urgently need." Another voice.
Hearing this voice, Marshal Sokolov was immediately angry, and it was Marshal Ogalkov who spoke!
Since this guy took over power again and went to Afghanistan, it was as peaceful as a lake. The Afghan rebels did not move any action. Even the Soviet troops in the capital Kabul had withdrawn, leaving only the Afghan government troops. The Afghan rebels remained honestly in Jalalabad. They seemed to be busy with their own affairs and forgot the main things.
Even, there is news that Ogalkov has secretly reached an agreement with the Afghans, which is why both sides are at peace.
This guy is simply a traitor! If Marshal Sokolov had long cursed Marshal Ogalkov and scolded him in front of the General Secretary. But now, Secretary Gorbachev attaches great importance to Marshal Ogalkov and has become an outsider.
Now, this guy actually said he wanted to export the most powerful fighter jets of the Soviet Union!
The Soviet Union's practice is that advanced ones will not be exported at all, and there is no precedent for Soviet fighters to export! The Su-27 is the only fighter equipped by the Soviet army that can compete with the -15, and now it has to be exported for food! This is simply embarrassing the great Soviet Union!
"No, the Su-27 is the main heavy air combat fighter of our Air Force in the next 20 years, and we must not export it." Marshal Sokolov suppressed his anger and said to General Secretary Gorbachev.
"Since it has been leaked, it can no longer be the main force of our air force, it can only be a transitional aircraft." Marshal Ogalkov said: "Let our air force fight with a fighter that is well-known to the enemy in various flight capabilities is simply a death."
"That's better than nothing."
"Why didn't it?" Ogarkov said: "What our air force needs is more advanced fighter jets."
"This is already the most advanced fighter jet!"
