"Young man, you did a good job in the Far East. You have made great contributions to our defense cause, especially the EP-3, which has taught us about the advanced electronic technology in the West." Ustinov said: "And you shot down the traitor with your own hands to prevent the secrets of our latest fighter jets from falling into the hands of the Americans."

"Everything is for the benefit of the motherland. The United States is our enemy. We must always be highly vigilant. As a pilot, even if blood is sprinkled in the sky, I will have no regrets." Andre said.

"Yes, we just need to have this fearless spirit!" Ustinov said: "Now, Americans are still putting pressure on us in diplomacy, trying to give us the EP-3 and the pilots on it to the Americans, but we will not compromise easily. However, as we continue to study these electronic technologies, our researchers have become increasingly disagreement."

Of course there are differences. Andre certainly knew that many Soviet technicians still held the omnipotent idea of ​​electronic tubes and sneered at the advanced electronic technology of the United States. At the same time, some scientists have realized that electronic tubes are out of date and hope to vigorously develop microelectronics technology and apply it to weapon systems.

Later generations have proved that the path of electronic tubes is wrong, and the gap between the Soviets in this regard gradually widened.

Although Andre knew that the Soviet Union now had a gap in electronic technology, this was not something Andre could control. Although he had been awarded the title of Soviet hero, he was still far from those decision makers. He was not in his position and did not do anything. When Andre remembered what Catherine dissuaded him, he still felt that it would be better to say less.

"Young man, how do you feel about our existing equipment?" Ustinov was obviously very satisfied with Andre. As a pilot equipped with the most advanced MiG-25 fighter, it was very necessary to ask him about the experience of using the front-line personnel.

Since the other party asked himself, Andre didn't have to be polite: "Our fighter jets can fly to a height of 30,000 meters and reach a speed of 3 Mach, which puts a lot of psychological pressure on the Americans. It can be said that we can go to the sky of the island country and go back as long as we want. The fighter jets of the island country can't do anything to us."

During the Cold War, the pressure on the Western world by MiG-25 was unprecedented. Andre said it was right. He entered Hokkaido several times, and the Americans had no choice but to do anything to him.

"However, our fighter jets also have weaknesses. For example, the overhaul of the R-15B-300 engine we use is only 150 hours. Normally, it takes one overhaul in half a year and a new engine must be replaced in one year. This will cause a great burden for logistics maintenance. If the engine life can be extended, our attendance rate can be effectively improved." Andre said.

The Soviet Union's equipment was obtained based on the experience of World War II. Even the best pilots could fly for only a hundred hours and were shot down. The average lifespan of a fighter was only dozens of hours. Therefore, it was not necessary to build an aircraft with a lifespan of that long, and hundreds of hours were enough.

However, it is the Cold War period, and there is no real conflict. It has a short lifespan, which will cause great waste. In contrast, the J-79 engine, which was mainly used by the US F-4 fighter at this time, has a lifespan of up to 4,000 hours. There is almost no need to change the engine during the entire life of the fighter, which greatly reduces the cost of use.

Of course, for the Soviet Union, which had planned economy, there was no cost at all. There was waste everywhere in today's society.

"Also, our electronic technology needs to develop faster." Andre shifted the topic to the topic. Andre could not reveal the dispute between electronic tubes and transistors. He could only explain what kind of electronic equipment is needed in the future from the perspective of a pilot.

"The Tornado-A radar used to be equipped, although it has a large volume and power, its search distance is no more than 100 kilometers, and a large amount of energy is used to consume heat. Now, the improved Sapphire-25 radar finally has the ability to pulse Doppler, but the processing system is limited. For example, when on the sea, you can also find warships, but when you go to land, the screen is full of clutter." Andre continued: "At the same time, the missiles with the R-40 missiles we used are always faulty, so when it is mounted, I always choose the infrared seeker model. In the briefing we sent, the American F-14 fighter can already use fire control radar to lock six targets at the same time and control six missiles to attack at the same time. This is something we dare not imagine. In terms of electronic technology, the Americans surpassed us a lot."

In 1973, the American Tomcat fighter carried the Immortal Missile missile and conducted a test-fire at the Pacific missile range. It launched 6 AIM-54A Immortal Missile missiles at the same time within 38 seconds, attacking 6 target aircraft ranging from 50 to 80 kilometers. Four hits directly, one was not counted due to the target failure, and the other one off-target. This intelligence has been obtained by the Soviet Union and all aviation regiments know it.

At this time, the Soviet Union, not to mention controlling six at the same time, was not very stable even if it controlled one!

Andre’s meaning is very simple. American electronic technology is indeed advanced, and the route of electronic technology chosen by the United States is correct.

Ustinov nodded. The combination of American Tomcat fighter jets and Immortal missiles is simply the nemesis of the MiG-25. In the face of the Immortal missile's attack, the MiG-25's disadvantage is very obvious.

"Then do you think, how can we quickly improve our electronic technology level?" Ustinov asked Andre.

In the field of electronic technology, the Soviet Union was indeed far behind. Even if it was catching up, it would be a long process. How can we quickly improve our electronic technology level? Ustinov was also having a headache about this problem.

Looking at the man in front of him, he always had a cold light in his eyes. Andre knew that this was an iron-blooded soldier, and he also had his own answer: "If you want to improve quickly, I have an idea that we will get from the island country!"

Under the enslavement of Americans, the island country quickly adapted to its own status as a dog. Moreover, its economy developed very rapidly, its science and technology were also well developed, and its electronic technology was first-class.
