"For now, the most advanced of the Soviets should be the MiG-25 fighter." At the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School, Emily continued her mission to train first-class pilots while systematically linking the intelligence gained by the CIA to combat confrontations there.

Some time ago the focus was on the MiG-23, and now, it is the MiG-25.

Before the MiG-25 was declassified, the whole of NATO was blown away by this powerful fighter, which was able to fly at three times the speed of sound, as if it were a sword hanging over NATO's head.

"Now, let's look at the option of using our Tomcat fighters and MiG-25 fighters to confront them." As Emily continued, she saw Nathan sitting below, and there seemed to be a mist in his eyes, and she knew that he was thinking again.

"Major Nathan, what do you think of what I just said?" Emily asked.

In the entire classroom, there are only more than 20 people, all of whom are instructors in the school and have rich experience, and among them, Nathan has faintly grown into the pillar of the school.

It's just that since Jenny left, Nathan has always seemed a little unsettled, and anyone with a discerning eye can see why, and Emily's questions now are, of course, purposeful.

Jenny has been gone for two months, during this time, Emily and Nathan have not had much contact, Nathan never appears in the bar, sometimes when he is idle, Nathan will play the guitar on the lawn of the airport, and Emily, just sit quietly not far away and listen, that's all.

As if he had closed his heart, as if he was waiting for his lover, Emily knew that on the night Jenny left, Nathan went to Jenny's residence, but, I don't know if what happened between them?

Thinking of this, Emily bit her lip and remembered that night she had been.

At this time, Nathan came back to his senses and said to Emily: "Regarding the MiG-25, I think we have fallen into a misunderstanding that this is a fighter that is ahead of its time, but if we think of the industrial base of the Soviet Union, we can boldly speculate that maybe it is not what we imagined." ”

For example, the United States already has a Blackbird reconnaissance plane, but this thing is quite crumbling, all made of titanium alloy, which is quite valuable, and at the same time, the maneuverability is quite limited, and it can only be used as a reconnaissance aircraft.

Of course, the Blackbird is also top secret now, and among those present, only Emily knows about its existence.

And the Soviets, on the other hand, achieved a fighter with three times the speed of sound.

Could it be that the Soviets have greatly surpassed the United States in aviation technology?

Of course not, the Soviets have never surpassed the United States in these areas, and what the Soviets have is only a more powerful ability to integrate systems!

(It is said that the S300 imported Maozi back then opened the eyes of my country's military personnel, none of which are advanced, but people get together, it is a set of quite effective weapons, which completely inspired our scientific researchers.) ）

"Nathan, what point are you trying to make?" At this time, Ault, who was also listening on the side, also asked with great interest.

"If you want to fly to three times the speed of sound, the thermal barrier is in front of you, most of us think about using titanium alloy, have you ever thought about it, with more common things, in fact, it can be achieved." Nathan continued.

At three times the speed of sound, the friction between the aircraft and the air will produce a fairly high temperature, which is enough to financialize aluminum, so common aviation materials cannot be applied to aircraft, what is light, and resistant to high temperatures?

Of course, it's titanium alloy, but it's too expensive and difficult to process.

Now, Nathan just said to himself: "I don't think the Soviets could have built such a fighter out of titanium alloy in a big way, and if it was made of stainless steel, maybe it would be more suitable." ”

In later generations, when Belenko defected, the Americans finally revealed the secret of the MiG-25, this guy is actually made of stainless steel, this thing is cheap enough, and high temperature resistance, the Soviet designer is a cow, will combine their own reality, make something that combines their own industrial base.

Moreover, this thing can be equipped in large quantities, if you talk about the shortcoming, it is fuel consumption, once you go to the sky, more than a dozen tons of fuel will be gone, but the Soviet Union has oil fields, and they are not afraid of oil consumption at all.

Nathan just said casually, to give you an idea, but not too much, MiG-25 is a fighter that looks very powerful, but in fact it is poor, although it flies fast, it is at most used for escape, the maneuverability is not good, and the radar power is strong enough to "roast a rabbit", but it can't see far, not even a hundred kilometers is enough.

It's this fighter that actually suppressed NATO's trembling, it's ridiculous to think about it, but now, looking at everyone's appearance, you can know how much they attach it.

Stainless steel? Aort immediately vetoed: "How is this possible, can a fighter plane be built with stainless steel, can it fly?" ”

"As long as the power is enough, the bricks can fly into the sky." Nathan continued, this made Emily's eyes light up, Nathan's words, it seemed to make sense!

It's a pity that there is no evidence, and if you want to enter the CIA's database, you must have evidence.

"Let's study the tactics of countering the MiG-25 fighter." Emily said: "According to the analysis of our system, the use of the Immortal Bird missile for a head-on attack also has a large hit rate. ”

The combination of the Tomcat fighter and the Immortal Bird missile gives the fighter the ability to intercept at a distance of a hundred kilometers, which is the most coveted by all commanders.

It's just that the propaganda is out of the blue, in fact, it has to be considered specifically.

The Immortal Bird missile has a maximum speed of more than Mach 4, but that is in the power stage, after the rocket engine is burned, it is the non-power stage, the speed will be slower and slower, if the tail chases and attacks the MiG-25, I am afraid that there will be a situation where it will not be able to catch up, and it is better to attack head-on, after all, the radar reflection area of the MiG-25 is very large.

It's just that the success rate of this will not be high, because the Immortal Bird missile only has an overload of up to 17G, and similarly, this is also a power stage, with such a small maneuverability, it can almost only hit bombers, and it is more than enough for high-maneuverability fighters.

Unless the other party is defenseless.

Nathan knew that he couldn't say more, Emily was very smart, and if he analyzed the MiG-25 thoroughly, he would make himself suspicious.

Nathan had been through it when he was in Alaska.

Anyway, when Belenko defects, everything will be clear. At this time, it was obvious that Nathan had forgotten that there were many deviations between this plane and what he was familiar with.

And Nathan didn't know how much the Belenko incident touched him, because Nathan finally knew what time and space he traveled through, and at that time, he couldn't help but let out a national curse, damn it!

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then, a beautiful figure appeared at the door.

"Sorry to interrupt, I'm looking for Major Nathan."
