Chapter 904 Missile Test and Maneuver Overload
In the southeast of Somalia, a 3,000-ton cargo ship is sailing south using an automatic control system on the Indian Ocean sea, only 70 kilometers away from the naval command Chiyanboni.
On the starboard side of the bow, there is a black skeleton pattern, which looks so mysterious and creepy.
It's about 2:00 p.m. local time. In broad daylight in the coastal waters, do pirates dare to appear? Or a 'ghost ship'?
At this moment, on the outside of the primitive forest of Camel Mountain in Lower Juba, Somalia, the earliest air base in Somalia is here.
On the runway with a length of more than 2,000 meters, a light blue Su-27SS fighter is making final take-off preparations. From a distance, a particularly large missile is mounted under the abdomen of the fighter, and the other weapon mounts of the fighter are empty.
Under the order of the command tower, the Su-27SS fighter began to accelerate to the end of the runway and soon rose into the sky.
After the Su-27 fighter just flew out of the mainland and entered the sea, the pilot pressed the launch button towards the target that had long been locked by the radar. The silver-gray missile under the abdomen of the aircraft separated from the aircraft, and the tail stamping engine began to work, spewing out a red tail flame.
At this time, the missile was still 70 kilometers away from the target, and the altitude of the missile had dropped to 20 meters to sea level. Driven by the engine, the speed of the missile quickly accelerated to more than Mach 2.
At this moment, on a huge electronic screen of the combat information center at Camel Mountain Air Force Base, the simulated signal is showing that the missile is flying low over the sea level to the target, the target ship sprayed with a skeleton pattern.
"Bang..." When the missile hit the target ship from the electronic screen, people in the hall applauded happily.
This seemingly ordinary airship missile experiment represents an extraordinary significance, because the missile just launched from the Su-27 fighter is an air-launched model developed by the Star Group based on the 3M-80 provided by the Ukrainian military, that is, the basic data of the 'same missile'. This missile was ordered internally. It is called the Kingfisher airship missile. Unlike the air-launched diffraction kh-41 airship missile developed by Russia on the basis of the 'spree missile', the 'fisherfisher' missile uses a stealth shape and optimizes the ramjet engine to reduce the volume of the engine and the combat load without reducing the engine power. The power of the missile has been reduced, but the maximum speed of the missile has been effectively improved.
Brigadier General Assad, the deputy commander of the Air Force, and Major General Gedi, the commander of the Navy, came to an office side by side.
"Congratulations, the combat strike capability of the Air Force has been effectively improved again." Major General Gedi looked at Assad and said in a sour tone.
I believe that no member of the navy is willing to see the development of airship missiles, because it is a fatal threat to the navy. However, the two belong to the same camp. The reason why Major General Gedi is sour is naturally envious of Li Mo's strong support for the air force. On the other hand, the navy belongs to the kind of his adoptive mother.
"Haha, I said Commander Gedi, don't be jealous. Didn't your navy order two frigates in China? That's the money snatched from our air force. Deputy Commander Assad not only did not comfort the other party, but said proudly.
Major Gerdy suddenly said that he knew the source of funds for the navy to order frigates. If he hadn't been tirelessly nagging in Li Mo's ear, there would have been no chance to increase naval strength.
"Yes, General Assad, what do you think of 'Operation Lightning for Peace'?" Major General Gedi also didn't bother to care about this matter, because he felt that it was useless to care about it, but made the other party more proud. So Major General Gerdy changed the topic.
Assad showed a solemn look on his face when he heard the words, and he couldn't help looking around. He was afraid of being heard.
"Didn't you attend that meeting? Why do you ask me?" Assad asked suspiciously.
Major Gerdy took a sip of coffee and explained slowly, "I still have some objections to this action in my heart, but you know that since the commander told everyone to make a perfect plan, he must have made a decision in his heart."
Assad raised his eyebrows and looked at the naval commander in front of him for a while. He understood why this guy mentioned this matter in front of him. You know, 'Operation Lightning Peace' is still on paper, and there are no more than ten people who know this operation.
Major Gerdy disagreed with the action, but he was inconvenient and did not dare to bring it directly to Li Mo, so he had to beat around the bush and nagging here Assad.
"Commander Gedi, do you think this plan is not appropriate?" Assad asked in a low voice.
Major Gerdy hesitated and whispered, "I feel that the commander now breeds some hegemonic mentality."
Assad was stunned, shook his head and laughed, "I said, Your Excellency Commander of the Navy, you are a soldier, not a messenger of peace, what hegemony is not hegemony, I only know that whose fist is bigger in this world is the truth. Moreover, our starting point is different from that of the United States. The United States is to plunder other people's things and consolidate its superpower status, and we just want to gain a foothold.
"Also, I didn't hear what you just said. Well, the missile test is successful, and I'm leaving. There are still a lot of things to deal with in the air force."
... In the office of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Ministry of Defense in Mogadishu, Li Mo listened to the report of Assad, the Deputy Commander of the Air Force, with a smile.
At present, several important confidential plans are progressing smoothly. The earlier 'tactical transport aircraft' plan has come to an end with the participation of Iran and North Korea. Soon Somalia can soon form its own transport aircraft force. At that time, the Somali army was in remote delivery, airborne and logistics supply. The ability of this and so on will be further improved.
The current learning situation of the soldiers trained by airborne troops in China is also very good. After all, they all have a foundation, but they are not familiar with airborne troops.
What Li Mo values most is that the 'Strategic Air Force' plan has passed the first preparation stage and officially entered the second stage of rapid development. Because of a 'verification machine' based on the MiG-25, the 'Strategic Air Force' reserve pilots who are receiving strict training will be able to speed up the process of learning and training through practical work. A group of excellent pilots have passed the stage of adaptation and are now receiving deeper training.
And the 'space fighter' plan, with the decision of the 'forwards wing plan', all the work began to be carried out in an orderly manner around this plan. At the current speed, it is not a problem to take out the verification machine at the beginning of next year. If there are not too many accidents, in the second half of next year In the past, Somalia's 'strategic air force' would be secretly formed, and it was time for Li Mo to eliminate his sense of urgency.
The energy of a state machine is amazing, especially when the state machine is used to serve something, all kinds of resources are continuously supplied, and all kinds of materials and logistics are 100% guaranteed. What else can't be done?
Just like the 'space fighter' project, Li Mo is now working hard to serve this program. He only needs to equip the army in the shortest possible time.
"Boss, there is one thing I want to tell you." Deputy Commander Assad hesitated after finishing his work.
"Oh? When will you be the deputy commander? Li Mo asked in surprise.
When Deputy Commander Assad heard Li Mo's jokes, his face turned a little red. He explained with a drily smile, "Well, boss, the pilots of the 'Strategic Air Force' have recently mentioned a problem during training, that is, the problem of mobile overload. At present, the human physiological overload is generally about 6-8G, and specially trained pilots can reach 9G or even 10G. Although in this process, pilots will also lose consciousness for a short time, and it is only more than ten seconds, but for the maximum overload of 9G in modern fighter jets, the end It's enough. After modification, our 'MiG-25' verification aircraft has reached a maximum maneuver overload of 14G, and we can expect that the value of the new 'space fighter' will be larger, which may exceed 20G, which is similar to that of some missiles. In this way, due to the limitation of human physiological overload, the aircraft's excellent mobility can't be fully played.
The so-called maneuver overload is the maximum acceleration that the body structure of the aircraft can withstand when doing various high-speed and violent maneuvering actions during high-speed flight. The reason why many modern aircraft are marked as overloaded about 9G is because the limit of human physiological tolerance is about this value. And unmanned missiles can reach an acceleration of dozens of G. This is also one of the reasons why missiles can hit aircraft.
It is not that modern aircraft cannot increase this value, but correspondingly, it is necessary to increase the weight of the aircraft, which is definitely not cost-effective, and the pilot's physiological endurance does not meet the requirements.
And Assad is thinking that if the 'space fighter' can ignore this problem and find a way to solve the pilot's physiological overload limit, it will be of great help to the fighter during close combat maneuvers. For example, when avoiding the other party's missiles, you can do some difficult maneuvers without worrying that the plane will stop in the air or the pilot will die due to cerebral hypoxia.
At present, the main way for countries to solve this problem is to wear anti-ha's clothing. By compressing the pilot's lower body and other parts through anti-ha's clothing, it promotes blood to flow to the brain, eyes and other places. But anti-ha's clothing also has certain limitations. With the current technology, it is valuable to solve the acceleration of 1-2G.
The reason why Assad raised this question was that he found that Li Mo's 'special guard', and the physical quality of each member of the meteor commando team was extremely abnormal. He wondered if Li Mo had any special training methods to solve this problem.
