Chapter 824: MiG-25 reconnaissance aircraft

MiG-25 is a god-like existence in this era.
For quite a few years, the assault towards the speed of sound is the ultimate goal pursued by many aircraft designers, because at the speed of sound, they will encounter something called a sound barrier. The sound is like a wall and will rush the aircraft that attempts to pass it. The shot was broken.
However, this was just a worry, and it was quickly broken. After the speed of sound was exceeded, most fighters could only fly to Mach 2 at most.
Mach 1 means 1 times the speed of sound, and Mach 2 means flying to twice the speed of sound.
For example, the MiG-21 achieved a maximum speed of Mach 2 with its compact body. After that, it would be difficult to break through this speed.
The reason is the thermal barrier.
When a fighter plane is in flight, the fuselage and air friction will generate heat. At 2 times the speed of sound, the temperature is not very high, but if it continues to accelerate, the frictional heat will increase and the temperature will become higher and higher.
Specifically, when the MiG’s first supersonic fighter MiG-19 flew at Mach 1.3 in zero degrees Celsius air, the nose of the aircraft rubbed against the airflow to generate heat, and the temperature reached 72 degrees Celsius.
On the MiG-21 flying at Mach 2.05, the temperature rose to 107 degrees Celsius. Of course, these temperatures refer to the nose, after all, the nose first rubs, and the nose breaks through the air.
When Mach 3, this temperature will reach 300 degrees. Perhaps this temperature is not too high, but the main material of the aircraft, namely aluminum alloy, can only withstand 140°C. If the aircraft flies to Mach 3, friction and heat will cause the aluminum alloy aircraft to catch fire.
This is the thermal barrier.
In order to overcome the thermal barrier, both the Eagle Country and the Bear Country are studying.
Eagle Country took the ordinary road, and immediately thought of titanium alloy. Using this super precious metal, the Blackbird SR-71 reconnaissance plane was created, which became a kind of sci-fi-like equipment.
But Xiong Guo, however, used the simplest stainless steel as the sword went slant.
How expensive is titanium alloy, Xiong Guo can't bear it, after all, this thing needs a lot of equipment, so they use stainless steel.
The ignition point of stainless steel is thousands of degrees, which is absolutely no problem.
Therefore, the super stainless steel fighter aircraft of the MiG-25 was created, which caused a sensation all over the world. , Divided into fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft and other models, equipped with thousands of aircraft, if this thing is also titanium alloy, then what a local tyrant's move?
When the MiG-25 flew over the capital of the bear country, the entire Western world was shocked. This shock lasted until 1979. When a MiG-25 defected to the island country, the West revealed it. The true face of this aircraft, the super powerful fighter they thought was just a backward fighter made of stainless steel.
That's right, this reflects Xiong Guo's powerful integration capabilities. Regardless of whether some of their technologies are backward, but their integration is good, the final overall performance is still good.
At the same time, when the secrets of the MiG-25 were leaked, it was finally able to be exported abroad. Anyway, there is no need to keep the secrets. In this way, it is exported to many countries.
This also includes the White Elephant Kingdom.
What the White Elephant Kingdom got was the reconnaissance-type MiG-25. The number was not large. The total number of them was 12. They eliminated the "Canberra" PRMk.57/67 reconnaissance aircraft they had previously equipped and became a strategic aerial. Detection power.
As a reconnaissance aircraft, it is qualified. Not only does it fly fast, but it also flies at a high altitude. The normal flying altitude is just above 25,000 meters. At the limit, it can climb to 30,000 meters.
Among the current equipment of Han, none of them can shoot it down.
Qin Guan was in the car, thinking about it, and soon arrived at the Air Force Command in the vast night sky.
Before entering, I heard the loud voice of the Air Force Commander General Zhang.
"The rice bucket is the rice bucket! The reconnaissance plane of the White Elephant Kingdom flew over our country for a full hour, with a range of thousands of kilometers. Not only did we not shoot it down, we did not even find it!" General Zhang shouted: " I have issued a military order to the chief, and next time this happens, I will voluntarily resign and accept punishment!"
This is the place that shocks the top.
Not only did we not knock it down, we didn't even find it. Although it could not reach the capital on its voyage, it could still reach the capital if it did not plan to return.
This time it flew over in a magnificent manner, surveyed its own country along the way, and returned in a magnificent manner. How can it not make people angry?
General Zhang is also fierce, and must be beaten down!
Just like in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there was always that ghostly U-2 reconnaissance plane flying into the airspace of one's own side to conduct investigations, taking advantage of its high altitude, and unscrupulously.
With a bang, it was knocked down by its own anti-aircraft missile. Since then, no U-2 dared to fly over. As long as it was knocked down once, the opponent would not dare to come again, otherwise, there would be no peace in the future. day!
"However, we don't have any aircraft that can fly that high, and no anti-aircraft missile can fly that high."
At present, the main high-altitude air defense missile of Han is still Hongqi-2. This is Han's imitation of Sam-2 missile. It has been more than two decades and its performance has long been outdated. Although the maximum shooting height is 27,000 meters, this The maximum shooting height is all useless numbers, and the height under normal combat cannot exceed 25,000.
Therefore, using it to intercept high-altitude, high-speed fighters such as the MiG-25, the shooting window is extremely small, and in fact, it can be considered that it has no interception capability.
Where's the fighter? If a fighter plane wants to intercept, it must be able to fly to the same altitude, and no one of its own aircraft can fly that high.
At that time, Han Guo also engaged in the J-9, aiming at high altitude and high speed, and proposed double 28 and double 26 indicators. Unfortunately, these were impossible to succeed.
Now, what we are facing is an extremely difficult situation.
"Compared with intercepting the opponent, the bigger problem we face is to discover it." At this moment, the group of people had already entered, and General Lin said.
Although the Air Force was responsible for this matter, it did not do a good job of defending the sky, but, in all fairness, the dismissed Pharaoh was a bit wronged. This has exceeded his own ability. Whoever is in that position will have this result.
Generally speaking, fighters flying at ultra-low altitudes are the most difficult to find, because the fighters of the Han Kingdom have not been able to detect targets from the complex ground clutter for a long time.
But now, it is a high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, all flying at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, can it not be found?
