Chapter 723: Good for nothing

Back then, the Tomcat fighter was selected by them, and it was definitely not only the variable swept wing that moved the Parthian nation, but more importantly, the AWG-9 radar and the Phoenix missile.
In this era, most medium-range air-to-air missiles have an effective range of less than 40 kilometers, and many actual launch distances, even within 20 kilometers, become complete short-range missiles. At this time, that The terrible Phoenix missile is definitely a nightmare for the enemy.
Because it can fly a hundred kilometers away, yes, it is a hundred kilometers!
Ordinary Sparrow missiles, later models, weigh more than 200 kilograms, while Phoenix missiles, one weighs half a ton, and the launch mass is against the sky.
At the same time, in order to achieve a high range, after it is launched, it will first climb to a higher altitude in order to reduce air resistance and achieve a longer range index.
This kind of missile is quite powerful, and it also gives the Tomcat fighter a dozen to six theoretical performance.
In short, no one will refuse such a temptation.
Now, seeing that the Tomcat fighter is about to be sold, and this J-8-2 fighter that we have already liked, it cannot launch Phoenix missiles.
That's right, it just can't be launched. It's not just a problem of the integration of the fire control system, but the missile is too bulky, and the body of the J-8-2 is simply not good.
The Phoenix and the Tomcat fighter are a pair. The Tomcat fighter has four pylons in the belly. Where do you hang the J-8-2? There is no place at all.
Now, when he heard the other side sighing about the Phoenix, Qin Guan began to pour cold water on the side: "Phenopsis? I think it's a chicken rib. This missile has been researched for so many years. Have you heard of any of its achievements?"
Sidewinder missiles and Sparrow missiles have been widely used in air combat, and their performance has been tested in actual combat.
But what about Phoenix? No.
There is no record of actual use of the Eagles, not only now, until later generations, until the Tomcat retires, and the Phoenix missiles are unknown.
A generation of famous ammunition has not achieved an inch of merit, and the record of the Phantasm is actually the result of the air force of the Parthian nation. Now, I have to buy the Tomcat fighter from the Nation. Of course, they will not have any record. Of it.
The emergence of Phoenix missiles has to start with the F111 fighter-bomber. The Eagle Nation Congress has been trying to integrate the navy and the air force so that they can be equipped with the same type of fighter planes to reduce equipment costs in this way.
This type of fighter-bomber is the first attempt. The Air Force model is developing smoothly, but the Navy doesn’t want to live or die. This thing is too big, and the Navy’s aircraft carrier simply can’t be used. Don’t tell me about land use. Isn’t that funny?
Not yet, the F111 became the Air Force model, but the AWG-9 and Phoenix missiles developed for the F111 fighter-bomber were retained and became the weapon system of the Tomcat fighter.
This thing is powerful, and even Qin Guan is very envious. Of course, he absolutely can't show envy, and he wants to denounce such missiles as worthless.
"The ghost report, shoot down all drones, and request to return."
There was a voice from the radio.
"Ghost, you are awesome, please go home now."
Barzan finally said to the radio, and after speaking, he participated in Qin Guan and Murad's rebuttal.
A weapon that has not been tested in actual combat can never be said to be mature. What is the use of an immature weapon?
"The Phoenix missile, although in the theoretical launch, it has achieved a dozen six. General Murad, you are an expert in the Air Force. If the target experiment is set up like today, can they still achieve this goal?"
At that time, one dozen six, that is, Tomcat fighters carried six phoenixes at the limit, and attacked six target aircraft in the sky at the same time.
It seems that the experiment was a complete success. Six of them shot down five of them, but in fact, those drones, their speed and height were the same, and that was a perfect target. Like today, the target ran back and forth, not to mention five. , Zero racks are possible.
"In actual combat, unless it is a sneak attack on an unprepared enemy aircraft, the Phoenix missile is useless at all. Its size is huge, and its overload capability is simply not good. As long as the target is slightly maneuverable, it can miss the target." Qin Guan continued. .
Phoenix's indicators are still top secret, so it is not easy for Qin Guan to tell the 17G overload data. In short, he can know with his head, is it possible that a missile as big as it has mobility?
Phoenix is ​​the one that intercepts slow and immobile bombers, and uses it to deal with fighters unless the opponent is defenseless.
However, in the war, will the AWG-9 radar's unique wildcat-like stimulating radio warning receiver sound be kept secret?
Phoenix has too many shortcomings. Now, Qin Guan doesn’t give the opponent time to refute, and continues:
Unless it is intercepting an enemy’s aircraft at the border and knowing that the opponent is an enemy aircraft, otherwise in the fierce air combat, attack from a long distance. It is quite unwise, because the target is likely to be our own aircraft, which will cause serious misfires."
On this point, Qin Guan was right. In this era, even though the fighters have the identifier of friend or foe, this thing is unreliable. If something goes wrong, it cannot answer accurately.
For an aircraft that does not respond correctly, it may be an enemy aircraft or its own aircraft with a broken friend or friend identifier. Therefore, the best way is to get closer and observe it visually.
Therefore, even in the later stages of the war, most of the air combat broke out within the line of sight. In the historical air combat between the Parthian State and the Date Palm, their air force also knocked down several of their own aircraft.
Without reliable identification of friend or foe, you can't attack from a long distance. In short, things like Phoenix that have a too long range don't need it.
The Eagles are used by the Eagles, mainly the Eagles navy, sailing on the vast sea, and are sure that there will be no one's own power around, so as long as the target is found, it must be an enemy plane.
On land, especially in the battle against the soil, that is not necessarily true.
Qin Guan successively gave out the reasons one by one, and these reasons were quite sufficient, and the other party couldn't help not believe it.
Therefore, Murad had been listening, but he was speechless to refute, and Barzan couldn't speak.
Seeing these people speechless, Qin Guan continues to belittle the Phoenix. This statement is even more useful: "Besides, operating the Phoenix will also waste a radar operator. I guess, in your current army, The number of radar operators must be quite rare, right? Our J-8-2 fighters, due to the improved integration of electronic systems, can complete all processes by one person, which is definitely the most suitable."
I'm here to promote the J-8-2. Of course, I have to continue to talk about the advantages of the J-8-2. I don't need a radar operator.
