Chapter 73: Ivanov's Support
"Captain, this spare parts warehouse is too messy. I suggest our group carry out a thorough cleaning and reclassify various items. What do you think?" Andrei said to the leader Ivanov.`
"Report to the leader, you don't have to worry about these small things, we can do it." Akim said quickly.
"No need." Andre glanced at Akim meaningfully: "Our aircraft service is usually too busy and we don't have time to maintain fighter jets. How can we take time to organize and backup warehouses? I'd better ask our superiors to send someone."
Please give me a superior? Akim felt his body trembling. Andrei's words were obvious. The commander Andrei must have known everything here. He wanted to stab it on it!
What to do? Akim slowly retreated, quietly left the warehouse, and quickly consulted with the base commander Kuori Dubu!
"Finished!" At this moment, there was a shout from the other side. In a large birch box, there was a backup cannon pod!
"Okay, push it to the hangar and modify it now!" Andre said.
Looking at the young crew members pushing the boxes away in a small cart, Ivanov, who was beside him, quietly said to Andre: "Andre, do you know what you are doing?"
Andre nodded: "Yes, leader, we are a combat regiment, and we will have combat missions at any time. I don't want our regiment to have time bombs, I must remove them! We must never let some people who only care about their own interests continue to stay with us!"
Andrei remembered the later generations. After the Go Map came to power, the Soviet Union was in chaos. Some bold guys kept selling the country's property, making money and losing the public. Such a situation could not be reborn!
What you are going on is a war without gunpowder, but it is more dangerous than fighting with the Americans. It is very difficult to reverse the situation of the entire country by one's own efforts.`
Fortunately, I am not fighting alone!
"Andre, I support you!" Ivanov said: "It's time to rectify the atmosphere! I'm also blaming me, I always indulge in the past."
The relationship between the flight regiment and the base is very delicate. Ivanov often tolerate the base commander Kuroridubu, including the other party's arrangement of some relationships into the flight brigade, and Ivanov also agreed.
After the incident with Berenko, Ivanov also felt a little guilty because he also heard the content that has now been listed as absolutely confidential. Before Berenko was shot down, he was dissatisfied with the current situation of the base! Including Andre, it was all because of the problem of the maintenance!
Andrey is now going to rectify, and Ivanov is supporting him.`
"Thank you, the leader." Andre said: "Now, we must protect the warehouse, especially the records and prevent business accidents. I will contact the KGB organization in Vladivostok to come and help verify it, and once the matter is investigated to the end, I will bring out a stolen person!"
Contact the KGB organization in Vladivostok! The KGB has great power and can interfere in the internal affairs of the army. Moreover, Andrei will of course be recognized by Andropov, because, just before coming, Andrei received another call from Andropov. If there is anything, he will ask the KGB in Vladivostok for help!
And Major Selov would not come to cause trouble for the time being. What Andrey was most worried about was that Akim, who knew that his scandals would be exposed, would he be anxious to jump over the wall? For example, he came over and stole the records and burned them, so that there would be no record and it would be difficult to check.
Of course, if he really did that, it would mean spending the rest of his life in prison, and the KGB could find out everything.
These are all small things. For Andre, the biggest thing is of course to install the cannon and shoot down the blackbird again! The superiors issued a dead order, so they let the blackbird fly in the Soviet sky. The 513th Regiment was under great pressure.
The upk-23 gun pod was taken apart from the box. Through simple lifting equipment, Victor and several operators lifted the gun pod to the wing mount on the inside of the MiG-25.
Although the wing hanger is specially designed for the MiG-25, the hanger does not have a special structure, and this time it is not a missile launch, so it requires a disengagement mechanism. Just fix the cannon pod on the wing.
The installation does not take much effort. According to Andre's suggestion, there is a cannon on both sides. On the one hand, it can balance the load of the wings on both sides, and on the other hand, it can also increase firepower.
Although it is more suitable below the nose, the cannon shells are likely to pass through the sound shock cone in front, but that will allow more smoke to enter the air intake. If it is protected under the nose, it will be a major operation. These operations under your subordinates will definitely not be able to complete.
"Captain Andre, we need to install sights in the front of the cockpit." After installing the cannon, Victor said to Andre: "But this will block all the positive field of vision."
Sights! It doesn’t mean that you can take off the air to fight by just hanging up the cannon. If you want the fighter to hit the opponent, you must use the sights!
Therefore, the front view in the narrow cockpit of the Soviet Union was very small, because sights were needed in front! And when it came to the MiG-25, the front was even wider.
Because the MiG-25 had no intention of using a machine gun, its only weapon was the R-4O missile, which could only fire the R-6O in the later stage. The way of combat was to shoot the missile from afar and then fly away, so there was no sight at all!
Now, if you have the cannon installed, you must install the corresponding sights, just blocking the front direction tightly.
"Yes." Andre said, looking at the sights taken out of the box, he frowned.
Later generations Andrei, in addition to flying over the J-7 in the aviation school, he also flew over the J-11. Although he also came from the Su-27 and had not mastered the technology thoroughly, in terms of avionics, China has passed too many of Russia, and the replacement of the equipment is all advanced avionics equipment. Aiming and locking are mainly done using flat displays.
For example, for air cannon attack, the J-11 has an enhanced enveloped cannon aiming system integrating radar, fire control system, inertial reference system, and head-up display. On the flat display in front of the cockpit, the cross line representing the artillery ballistic and two arcs surrounding the channel are displayed. The curvature of the arc changes with the flight of the fighter. When the target plane falls within the two arcs, it means that the target plane is on the same plane as it is easy to pursue; when the target plane wingspan occupies the width of the arc, it means that it has entered the range. At this time, if the cross line is above the target plane, the pilot only needs to keep the aircraft's posture stable. Press the button, and the shell flow will go straight to the target.
