There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only unchanging interests, and this sentence is even more absolute truth.

When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the Americans and Pakistan were too good to wear pairs of pants and imported a large number of weapons into Afghanistan through Pakistan. Under the promotion of Mhamad, they also sold the heavy F-14 fighter jets to Pakistan. However, in later generations, after the end of the Afghan War, the United States had turned against each other, especially after Pakistan exploded a nuclear bomb.

In Asia, the United States values ​​India more, through India, and also checks and balances Eastern countries. Similarly, Eastern countries must be closely linked to Pakistan and balances India through Pakistan. If there is no Pakistan, Eastern countries will always be in a conflict with India.

This is the national interest. The friendship between the Americans can only last for a few years, while friendship with Eastern countries will last for a long time because the two countries have a common enemy, especially in the India-Pakistan War, Eastern countries supported a large number of J-6 fighters, and at this time the West imposed an embargo on Pakistan, making Pakistan's relationship with Eastern countries closer.

At this time, Eastern countries had begun to reform and open up and ended the turmoil. When they came out of the turmoil, they suddenly realized that they had been behind for ten years. This decade was exactly the decade when the West was striding forward.

The same is true for the military industry. As the pride of the aviation industry, the J-8 fighter jet was designed in the 1960s and flew for the first time in 1969. As a result, it was not until 1979 that this fighter jet that only lengthened the J-7 and stuffed it into a twin-engine was finalized. It was put into service in 1980s. Looking around, this high-altitude high-speed fighter jet was far behind.

The Turbofan 6 was developed in the early 1960s, and it was not until 1982 that the bench test was completed, but later it lost the installation target and had to get off the horse.

The J-H-7 project was launched in 1973, and it was not until 1982 that a wooden prototype was created.

In order to develop the economy, Eastern countries can only put the development of military industry behind. At the same time, Eastern countries also want to know how big the gap between themselves and Western countries' fighter jets is.

Although the Eastern countries and the United States have also entered a honeymoon period due to the Soviet Union, the United States will not export advanced technology to Eastern countries. Ideological issues are the biggest obstacle between the two countries. In the United States, some people always regard Eastern countries as the biggest threat.

So, after hearing that Pakistan was equipped with two advanced fighter jets, F-14 and F-16, the Eastern countries were tempted. It was just because the Americans were in Pakistan.

Before Christmas, Americans evacuated from Pakistan. People from multiple institutes in Eastern countries formed an inspection team and quietly came to Pakistan.

"Room, rumble." A transport plane appeared in the clouds, and Mhamad, who was standing on the runway, lit up his eyes. Yunba!

During those ten years of turmoil, the only thing that was successfully developed and put into practice was the Y-8 medium-sized transport aircraft developed by the Xi'an aircraft manufacturer.

In fact, it is not considered a manufacturing process. This aircraft is a Soviet An-12 transport aircraft imitated by West China Aircraft.

The straight trapezoidal cantilever upper single wing, four turboprop six engines drive four four-blade propellers, the front end of the fuselage, and a framed plexiglass nose. This is the position of the navigator. The rear of the fuselage is the straight cargo hold tail port.

Beside Mhamad are Pakistan Air Force Commander General Nur Khan, Military Region Commander Musha Af, and Air Force Base Commander Arslan.

Facing this visit, Pakistan sent General Zamael to greet him, which was enough to show his importance to Eastern countries.

"An-12 transport aircraft." Aarslan said next to Mhamad.

At this time, the Eastern countries were still carrying a mysterious veil. Although they had reformed and opened up, the outside world still had little understanding of them. When he heard Arslan's words, Mhamad said softly: "It's not An-12, but Yun-8, which was copied based on An-12."

"I would be great if our country could also imitate fighter jets." Arslan said.

Pakistan's industry is backward. As the highest-end aviation industry, Pakistan is even more behind. All fighter jets are purchased. Even overhauls must be carried out abroad. Only J-6 has been supported by the Eastern countries. An overhaul factory can be repaired in it.

Nur Khan also felt very kind to the Eastern countries. More than ten years ago, Nur Khan took the elites in the air force to land in the East and received the J-6 fighter jets from there.

Now, I am friends from the East.

When Nur Khan heard Arslan's words, he was also very moved. How great would it be if Pakistan could build its own fighter jets!

"We not only need to imitate it, but in the future, we also need to develop the latest fighter jets in the world ourselves." Mhamad said, his words full of confidence.

Today is the first step.

"Mhamad, how do you think we should develop it?" Nur Khan had a hot flame in his eyes.

"Combined with Eastern countries, we will first survey and map the two advanced fighter jets we equipped, and strive to imitate them." Mhamad said: "Oriental countries have the greatest advantages in surveying and mapping."

Surveying and mapping, to be nice, it is called copycat, to be ugly, it is called pirated. Eastern countries are the best at it. When Apple 4 was first launched, high-quality imitation machines became popular everywhere.

"Room," the roar became louder and louder, and the transport plane aimed at the runway and landed accurately.

The tailgate of the cabin opened, and a group of people with eastern holes walked down from above.

The one who walked in the forefront was the leader of this visiting delegation, the director of the 611 Research Institute of Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Tu Jida.

This aircraft design expert born in 1927, after World War II, after the founding of New China, first went to Shenfei and Chengfei, and presided over many projects, including the 6th Junior Education, J-5th Junior Education, and J-7th Junior Education.

At this time, the aircraft expert was already covered in white hair and stepped onto the land of Pakistan, with some excitement in his heart.

Following Tu Jida, another old man was Song Wencong. Although he was only three years younger than Tu Jida, he was more energetic than Tu Jida. He exuded a unique vitality all over his body, as if he was like a young man in his thirties or forties. He was also from Cheng Fei, and the two of them were considered old friends.

At this time, he was accepting a high-tech project in the country and was in the stage of a wind tunnel. When he heard that he was going to visit Pakistan, he immediately asked to follow him and waited for several months before he got the opportunity.

Behind the two was Chen Yijian from the 603rd Institute of Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. The three of them were 60 years old. They dedicated their youth to the sky of New China.

"Old Chen, thanks to your plane this time." Tujida said: "Otherwise, we have to take civil aviation to Islamabad and then come here by car."

"This aircraft needs to undergo durability flight tests, and there is such a chance." Chen Yijian said: "I have always been worried that the noise in the cabin will be too high and you can't stand it."

The Y-8 is a transport aircraft. Although the cabin behind it is also an air-tight cabin, it is completely not as comfortable as the civil aviation aircraft.

Seeing these people get off the plane, Mhamad remembered that he had seen these people in his previous life, and everyone was so famous. Song Wencong presided over the J-10, and Chen Yijian presided over the Feibao. Now, these fighter jets have just begun to design the stage, and they came here to learn from the scriptures.

Following them were a group of young technicians.

"Welcome to all the friends from the East." Nur Khan had already met: "Chief Designer Tu, we have met before."

Tu Jida's hand was tightly held with Nur Khan, and he was also very excited to think of the past.

The two sides shook hands in turn, and when Nur Khan introduced Mhamad, the old experts opened their eyes wide.

"Chief of Staff Mhamad, you are the mainstay of Pakistan. On the battlefield in Afghanistan, you fought and founded the Afghan Free Army. Now, you commanded the air force of the Peshawar Military Region to fight against the Soviets, especially you personally presided over and purchased advanced fighter jets." Tukida said.

"It's all for Pakistan's security," Mhamad said. "These are the result of the joint efforts of all Pakistani soldiers, including our Air Force Commander, who has negotiated with the United States many times, especially now, we are about to introduce the A-7 attack aircraft, which is also under the leadership of our Air Force Commander."

At this time, Mhamad was very modest, and Nur Khan was very helpful to him.

"We are here this time to see the US-made fighter jets equipped by the Pakistan Air Force." Tujida said. Although they just got off the plane, they couldn't wait.

On the distant apron, there were fighter jets with open canopy covers parked, one f-16 and one f-14, and a ladder had been erected beside the fighter jets.

This visit was top secret, and all the Pakistani soldiers on the scene were completely reliable, and there was no one in the entire base.

"Please come here," said Nur Khan.

In fact, just looking at the appearance, you can't know the advanced nature of the fighter jet. However, when you saw the overall canopy of the F-16, a young technician exclaimed: "Look, there is no front windshield!"

At this time, all the fighter jets in the East were still three-piece front windshields. When the pilot observed the front view, there were metal frames blocking them, and the field of view was restricted. They were all surprised to see the bubble-like canopy cover.
