After tens of thousands of kilometers of test flights by the flight test team, and several aerial fuel tests, the improved aircraft proved to be able to perform long-term air patrol missions. The fuel receiving device did not increase the strength and influence of the aircraft. The work of carrying radar.

However, the single-seater Su-27P was considered unsuitable for this task. This was not a problem with the aircraft, but the test pilot felt exhausted during such a long flight and could not maintain normal conditions.

In addition, modern air combat has brought a lot of workload to pilots. The long-term empty flight caused by large voyages and the high overload caused by high maneuverability enable pilots to deal with complex combat situations, integrated airborne electronic equipment, and airborne weapons alone. In a hurry.

Therefore, the design team concluded that only two pilots can be competent for a 10-hour cruise flight. During this period, when one pilot is resting, the other pilot will be responsible for driving the aircraft and operating the radar and fire control system. .

This also excludes the plan of setting up a pilot and a weapon operator on the two-seater Su-27PU.

The design team immediately decided to modify directly on the basis of the trainer cockpit. The front and rear cockpit configurations of the new aircraft will be the same. In the long endurance flight, the two pilots can control, operate the aircraft or operate the radar at any stage of the mission. And weapon system.

From both cockpits, you can start the engine, select weapon systems, input and correct navigation data, and decide whether to eject or not.

When the design team enthusiastically invested in the development of the new long-range interceptor, new problems emerged.

At that time, the polar bear leaders favored the MiG-31 rather than the more flexible aircraft such as the Su-27PU. Compared with the Su-27PU, the MiG-31 was bulky but had a longer range, but its maneuverability and agility were completely incomparable with the latter.

There is a theory that it is meaningless to deliberately pursue the agility of aircraft in the missile era. The excellent high-altitude and high-speed capability of the MiG 31 can make up for other shortcomings, especially the powerful ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles equipped with the aircraft make it fundamental. There is no need for close air combat.

The MiG-31 can use its radar and information network to command the other four fighters to form a combatable "air defense command center". Some leaders have a special liking for the aircraft and are unwilling to admit the MiG until death. The shortcomings of grid 31.

He even said, "The MiG 31 is the unique and the most effective long-range interceptor. There is no need to develop a new weapon system. What we should do now is to produce and deploy more MiG 31 instead of others. !" In this case, this sentence comes from the Polar Bear Land Command at the time.

But on the other hand, he believes that the cumbersomeness of the MiG 31 will cause a 180-degree turn of the game, and it is the kind that is not good for itself. The dispute between the two views has almost reached the point of intensification.

In the end, there was no way. As a compromise, the Su-27PU was determined to be a supplement to the MiG 31 heavy interceptor rather than a replacement.

And in order to make the Su 27PU more competitive, the design team designed a set of optional equipment for it, so that the Su 27PU can also play the role of the MiG 31 "air defense command center".

But doing so will destroy the original design idea of ​​the former rear cabin, which is convenient for the two to drive and control the aircraft separately during long cruises, because the rear cabin must be replaced with new radar displays and equipment to enable the aircraft to act as an air commander. Station needs.

However, until the 1990s, no Su-30 prototype was proven to be equipped with this system. In addition, it was originally planned to mount a semi-active radar-guided long-range air-to-air missile specially developed for the MiG 31 on the Su-27. , But also fell through for various reasons.

In any case, as the early model of the Su 30, the Su 27 has achieved good results abroad. After all, foreign countries feel that compared with the MiG series, it is more flexible and maneuverable that they need. It can have the size of the former Soviet Union. There are not a few countries in total, and naturally there is no need for the long legs of the MiG.

Moreover, the fuel weight of the Su-27 itself exceeds the empty weight of an F-16, and its weapon loading capacity is exactly the empty weight of a MiG 21, which makes the Su-27 itself a rare Soviet fighter. Its long range and large ammunition load, however, is such a large long-range fighter jet in terms of maneuverability and agility even when compared with the American F16 light fighter.

Now that there are so many advantages, the MiG has naturally become a chicken rib, which has led to a very large export volume of the Su-27, but the Su-30 is not as good as it is mixed abroad.

The early Su-30 was an aircraft developed entirely for air defense and offensive purposes, and it was also a model that "does not have a pound of weight for ground attack".

However, Western intelligence agencies, which have always been sensitive to the development of polar bear fighters, have always believed that the Sukhoi Bureau will definitely develop a large-scale long-range interception strike aircraft on the basis of this aircraft. This is the basis of the American F15. The development of F15E is the same.

This is also true. The birth of Su-30MK confirms this point. This is a newly designed fighter bomber designed for offensive combat missions. The suffix "M" of the aircraft number represents multi-function, and "K" means that this model is used. For export.

Although in terms of aerodynamic appearance, the biggest difference between the Su 30MK and the Su 27UB or even the Su 30 is that the knife antenna on the side wall of the inlet port is eliminated, but the surface is sprayed with more vivid desert camouflage, and the wings are covered with various All kinds of Russian-made precision-guided weapons, all of which have aroused strong interest from customers who intend to purchase.

Equipped with a brand-new airborne fire control system and guided weapons that can destroy ground/sea targets, the Su 30MK’s combat skills in this area are 24 times higher than that of the Su 27SK and Su 30. The total number of weapons on the aircraft’s 12 hanging points It weighs up to 8000 kg, twice that of the early Su-27. In addition, the Su-30MK can launch active radar.

Unfortunately, the Su 30MK did not meet the ideal expectations in terms of external sales. However, if it competes directly with competitors, the Su 30MK will not fall behind at all.

On combat effectiveness ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Except for the later version of the ground attack modification which is stronger than the Su 30, other models, especially the early models, are not the opponents of the Su 30 at all.

Especially in recent decades, the Polar Bear’s air-to-air missile technology has been leading the United States for at least 10 years. With the blessing of missiles, the Su-30 can give full play to its advantages.

You must know that the Su-30 is equipped with infrared tracking detectors, which can track and lock F15 and launch missiles without turning on the radar. Although the operating range is only more than 50 kilometers, it is definitely a fatal blow to the F15 in close combat.

In addition to inheriting the super mobility of Su 27 and Su 30, it can be said that in the face of early F15 models, Su 30 can completely beat old opponents.

As long as Su 30 gets close, F15 can only escape!

In the absence of early warning aircraft blessing on both sides, Yang Cheng proposed to restrain Chile's F15 with the Su-30, which is completely in the middle. This point is clear to anyone with military knowledge.
