Therefore, the MiG-29 radar still uses the original Gesselin antenna, while the Su-27 radar plans to use a planar slot antenna, and use horizontal mechanical scanning and vertical electronic scanning to increase its scanning speed and data update rate to comprehensively Surpasses the AN/APG-63 radar used by the F-15.

These are not matters of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, but are entirely handed over to the Instrument Manufacturing Research Institute in Zukovsky Town.

More than ten years have passed since the goal was proposed. Those experts have been experimenting and improving over the years. As a result, they still cannot solve the technical problems such as planar antennas, electronic scanning, and software, making this radar Unable to meet performance requirements. As for the Su-27, it was about to be finalized. The head of the aircraft was still just a counterweight, and it was completely behind the schedule. So last year, the Instrument Manufacturing Research Institute decided to abandon the use of this avant-garde antenna and instead use the MiG-29 The Gesselin antenna has increased its transmission power by 1.5 times its caliber to achieve technical indicators that exceed those of American radars. They are very good at this.

Due to the backwardness of the Soviet Union's electronic technology, especially now that we are in the microelectronics era, the Soviet Union is even further behind and can only rely on this stupid method.

However, greater transmission power and larger antenna size mean larger component volumes, stronger cooling systems and power supply systems.

Originally, in the plan, the nose counterweight of the Su-27 was only 500 kilograms, but now, news came from the Instrument Manufacturing Research Institute that they have finalized the N001 radar. The weight of this radar is 1.1 tons!

1.1 tons! This is an astonishing number. In order to achieve a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1.15, the Sukhoi Design Bureau tried its best to achieve this design goal with the afterburner of the AL-31F engine. Almost all the weight that can be reduced on the body has been reduced.

Now, there is such an extra weight of more than one ton on the nose, which... simply makes the previous work of the Sukhoi Design Bureau in vain.

This is not just a problem of half a ton more than the design specification, but more seriously involves the center of gravity of the aircraft, and the center of gravity of the aircraft is related to the most important aerodynamic design of the aircraft's statically unstable state.

what to do? To tear everything down again? The military's requirements are very urgent, and it hopes that this fighter jet will be finalized and put into service immediately. Then he went to Afghanistan to cause trouble for the Pakistan Air Force's F14s and F16s, avenging his past humiliation.

"In order to return the center of gravity of the aircraft to its original position, we have to add a balance weight to the tail. This will cause the aircraft body to be one ton overweight. However, without adding it, the nose of the aircraft will droop seriously. Our pilots have to keep pulling the control stick back. , to maintain the balance of the body," said a technician.

Overweight by a ton. This is a terrible number, and now, the Su-27 has to meet the requirements of the Air Force. That's not more than one kilogram.

Moreover, the Air Force is pressing very urgently now, quite urgently.

what to do?

Simonov, the wise chief designer, once overthrew everyone's opinions and firmly pushed back and started over. However, he started over again. It is not just a matter of courage, but whether the Su-27 will miscarry. The Air Force may be completely disappointed with the Su-27. Although the reason for this has nothing to do with the Sukhoi Design Bureau, it is completely Question from the Instrument Manufacturing Institute!

"It seems that we can only continue to reduce weight." Simonov said: "Only in this way can we meet the requirements of the Air Force."

Lose weight! Not only cannot it be increased. We still have to reduce the extra weight on the nose!

How to reduce? All the personnel were looking at Simonov.

"Increase the proportion of composite materials, increase the proportion of titanium alloy components, and drill holes in non-critical components to reduce weight." Simonov said.

"That will cause the body strength of our fighter plane to weaken. I'm afraid the fighter plane will disintegrate before it reaches the 9G overload." A designer said.

"We have no choice." Simonov said: "Do as I say, rewrite the program in the flight control, and limit the transonic maneuver to 6.5G overload. We must complete the integration as soon as possible, preferably At the beginning of next year, when the cold Afghan winter passes, our fighter planes will have combat capabilities."

"Yes." No one dared to object to the chief designer's words, and immediately devoted themselves to intense weight loss. An advanced fighter aircraft that could fly 9G overload was held back by backward avionics.

(The Hero of East China has always been fond of the Su-27 since he was in middle school. It is a beautiful fighter plane! In fact, the Hero of East China once had an ideal of becoming a pilot who could fly this kind of fighter. Unfortunately, he was not physically qualified. , and then wanted to take the aviation school entrance examination , but his college entrance examination results were too poor, and by mistake, he became a teacher. In the 1990s, as the guardian of the sky of the Republic, the Su-27 firmly protected our airspace. The Hero of East China is an absolute fan of the Su-27. However, defects still need to be written).

Weight loss has abruptly reduced the rickets and transonic traps on the Su-27.

Because the body components are relatively light, it cannot carry many heavy weapons. Moreover, the wide space at the wing root cannot bear pylons due to insufficient moment. It is also impossible to install ailerons on the outer wing section where the moment against the wing root is the largest, making the roll rate of the Su-27 lower than that of the third-generation aircraft. Bottom of the middle. More importantly, although the Su-27 can theoretically reach and fly at supersonic speeds, due to the light weight of the components, when it reaches the theoretical 1.1M standard transonic speed, it will begin to be unable to continue to increase speed, and there will be a hidden danger of the fighter aircraft disintegrating. In the speed range of 0.85~1.25M, even if the fighter aircraft is lightly loaded, the available overload is limited to 6.5G to -1G. These problems were not completely overcome until the Su-35. The new Su-27 fighter was restricted by backward electronic technology and became a Soviet "Zero" fighter. (The Japanese "Zero" fighter during World War II also used lightweight materials and drilling methods to reduce the weight of the aircraft body and achieve so-called super maneuverability. However, its weakness is also very prominent, that is, it cannot roll violently because it will stall. Falling, and if it dives sharply, it may cause the aircraft to disintegrate!)

At this time, India was in no mood to consider how to defeat the Pakistan Air Force, recapture the Kashmir Valley, and then fully invade Pakistan. Now, the domestic situation in India is deteriorating rapidly.

The Indian Army forcibly attacked the Golden Temple. While killing the resisting Sikh extremists, it almost destroyed the Golden Temple. Half of the Golden Temple had collapsed.

This action aroused strong resentment among the Sikhs. For them, the Golden Temple is their belief in their hearts. This belief was bombarded by the Indian army. This is an insult and challenge to all Sikhs!

As a result, even the moderates among the Sikhs began to get ready to take action. Although the Indians increased their garrison, making it difficult for the Sikhs to attack the army, among the people, the Sikhs and other Hindustan The conflicts between people began to intensify.

Not only in Punjab, but also in other places, wherever Sikhs gathered, riots broke out to varying degrees. In several southern states, Sikhs demonstrating clashed with the police maintaining order. Sikhs attacked the police with rocks, and the police used tear gas and batons, resulting in dozens of Sikh casualties.

Moreover, I heard that in the mountains near Jammu, a group of Sikhs reorganized, acquired weapons, and established the Sikh People's Liberation Army. Their goal is to establish their own Khalistan state!

Even in the capital New Delhi, Sikhs raised their own flags, demanded independence, and marched on the streets.

"These Sikhs are making too much noise." Rajiv said: "Prime Minister, we should use strong measures and we cannot let them go on like this."

After Rajiv finished speaking, he glanced around. Several Sikh guards were on the outside. Although Iron Lady still had full trust in these Sikh guards, Rajiv also had to worry about Iron Lady's safety.

"We need to find out the source of the commotion, which must have been bewitched by certain people. For these sources, we must resolutely punish them with the law. And for ordinary people who do not know the truth and are bewitched, we need to influence them and let them Only in this way can they show the magnificence of our great country, "Rajiv, you must remember that the Sikhs are also our people in India."

Up to this time, I am still being reformed! Now that they have destroyed their Golden Temple, they are at odds with each other. Bayonets and bullets are the best solution! Rajiv didn't quite agree with what the Iron Lady said, but he still nodded: "Well, the Prime Minister is right."

The two of them continued walking out, preparing to get into the bulletproof car and go to Congress to attend a meeting.

When they walked outside, Tasim was holding a gun, standing guard like everyone else.

Seeing Tasim, the Iron Lady nodded and smiled at him. Among her guards, the Sikhs were still there. This represented her attitude. The Sikhs who made trouble were only a small part. She was against The Sikhs are still trusted and they are all citizens of the big country of India.

Tasim was also smiling and looked at Iron Lady quietly, holding the gun with both hands, which seemed to be trembling a little.

However, Rajiv felt something strange. Today's Tasim's expression seemed a little strange, especially the look in his eyes...

"Damn Indians, you destroyed our Golden Temple!" At this moment, Tasim suddenly got angry, his eyes full of anger and fanaticism. He picked up his gun, pointed at Rajiv and Iron Lady, and pulled the trigger.

Damn it! Tasim, who had always been very loyal, had become a fanatical Sikh! While pushing the Iron Lady towards the car, Rajiv couldn't help but think in his mind, fortunately, in order to control these Sikh guards, he had ordered the bullets in the guns equipped to these people to be trainer bullets and plastic slugs. Will not kill.

Bullets were fired from Tasim's gun and flew towards the two men. (To be continued ~^~)
