Chapter 176 Accept the challenge
The air forces of Eastern countries still follow the Soviet model and intercept operations under ground guidance. The initiative of the pilots in the air is limited. However, the Pakistan Air Force, due to its frequent interactions with the West, implements the Western model to give pilots more autonomy. This can be seen from the establishment of the Pakistan Air Force that they are large squadrons, with more than 20 fighter jets in one squadron, while the air forces of Eastern countries have only four squadrons. △¢
Pakistan's air combat theory is also constantly deepening. Intercepting operations under ground guidance is only one aspect, and more is modern air combat and air combat under electronic confrontation.
Early warning aircraft and jammers can bring Pakistan's electronic warfare capabilities to a new level.
Now, looking at the two equipment from Pakistan, experts from the East have deeply felt the gap. Although the Eastern countries have equipped a large number of fighter jets, they are still second-rate air forces. If they want to make progress, they need their hard work.
After visiting the early warning plane, we began to visit the flight performance. When the Tomcat fighter dragged the tail flame, he slid off the runway. After taking off, he accelerated immediately, and the wings swept back to the maximum, and soon disappeared in front of them.
"Does the Tomcat fighter need a pilot to control the sweep angle of the wing inside?" asked a technician.
Variable swept wings are a technology that Eastern countries were once very interested in. They even got a MiG-23, which was dismantled and studied, and planned to imitate them. However, after discovering that changing the swept wing once required the pilot to make seven or eight actions, they gave up. In air combat, how could the pilots distract themselves to make so many actions!
"The variable sweep wings of this fighter are completely automatically controlled by a computer," Arslan explained. "We pilots do not need to intervene. The computer will calculate the most appropriate sweep angle required."
The computer automatically controls it! Everyone is in a state of mind when they hear it.
"Is the wing box strong?" another person asked.
"We once used a tomcat to break the tail of a Soviet aircraft, which was hit with a wing box. Then, the tomcat returned safely, and the variable sweep wings remained movable."
The one with the most combat experience now is the Pakistani Air Force, who faces the powerful Air Force of the Red Empire.
If you are not careful about the impact during high-speed movement, the plane will be destroyed and the other party will actually attack. This is an air force with a tough style!
As he was talking, the tomcat was back, this time, the wings were spread out and the field was opened at a low altitude.
It was stable and there was no combat movement, and it was just open to the field at a low altitude, but everyone present opened their eyes wide.
How fast is it? No, how slow is it? It is only more than 200 kilometers per hour! What is the value? Even the J-6 with super low-altitude maneuverability can't be so strolling. This shows that the heavy twin-engine fighter Tomcat can completely suppress the J-6 in the low-altitude combat that J-6 is best at!
Although the J-6 is behind, it is at low altitude and ultra-low altitude, which is the king. The J-7 can only fight against the J-6 until it uses a double triangular wing and a front-edge maneuver flap. As for the J-8, it is a typical high-altitude high-speed second-generation aircraft.
The Tomcat's performance ended, and the f-16 started the performance. Just after taking off, the f-16 increased the angle of attack. In everyone's attention, we watched the climb of the f-16.
If the Tomcat relies on the advantage of variable sweep wings, then the f-16 relies entirely on the engine! This single-engine light fighter has an unparalleled maneuverability after having a powerful engine. Seeing the f-16 performing dazzling various actions in the sky, everyone on the ground was stunned.
This is the advanced third-generation fighter! It does not emphasize the high-altitude and high speed, but maneuverability and rotation. Seeing that the nose can move quickly means that the pilots have more opportunities to point the nose at the other side. They even thought that their four J-7s, siege such a fighter, would probably be counterattacked by the other side.
Watching statically, I can’t realize the power of these fighter jets. Now, watching the other party’s performance, everyone realizes that the fighter jets in their own country are no longer fighter jets in front of these fighter jets, it’s a slag.
After lunch, the warm and friendly meeting started again.
"We admire the morning performance very much. Your country has first-class fighter jets and first-class pilots." Tujida said: "In air combat, you are already ahead of us, and we have many things to learn."
Tu Jida's words were filled with emotion. It was not embarrassing to realize the gap and say it to her Pakistani colleagues.
"It is war that forces us to be strong." Nur Khan said: "If we are not strong, we will only be eliminated on the battlefield."
Thinking of the domestic air force, in order to fly safely and not to lose their official positions and climb upward, many flying troops have less than a dozen flight hours a year, and they do not do any difficult movements, Tu Jida feels very moved.
"Yes, only through war can we train a strong air force." Tujida continued: "We have received instructions from our superiors that we can cooperate with the engine, but in addition to the engine, we also hope to carry out deeper cooperation in other aspects, such as avionics systems."
Mhamad looked at Tujida and spoke. The advanced nature of the avionics system has more critical impact on the performance of the fighter. Radar and control will affect the combat effectiveness of the fighter.
"We hope to get a complete awg-9 radar system for our surveying and mapping." Tu Jida said, looking at the people in front of us, waiting for their reaction.
The awg-9 radar is the radar of Tomcat fighter jets. Although it has been in service for several years, it is still an advanced radar. For example, it can detect bomber targets 200 kilometers away, it can guide the attack of immortal birds, and it also has terrain mapping, synthetic aperture and other modes.
With the cooperation between the two parties, it is not difficult to understand the structure of this radar, but letting the other party provide a complete system for its own surveying and mapping is related to the other party's combat. After all, the other party will not have many spare parts, and it has to be hidden from the United States.
Among the technicians, Bai Xue was most worried. She looked at the expressions of the people above, especially Mhamad. What if the other party disagreed?
Mhamad looked at Nur Khan and saw Nur Khan nodding, so Mhamad said: "You must make a military order for this matter."
Military order? Tu Jida didn't know what Mhamad was going to say, so he couldn't help but be stunned.
"We can provide you with a complete set of our spare parts library, but you must complete the mapping and imitation of this radar within two years," said Mhamad. "At the same time, we will also send experts to study with you."
Within two years! This military order is mainly a matter of time. For our side, two years is too short.
Domestic electronic technology has just recovered, while Western electronic technology has become very developed. This radar must have used semiconductors or even integrated circuits. It takes two years to study it thoroughly. As for imitation, it may take several years.
"As for the funds, we can also find third parties, and there will be people who are interested in this imitation." Mhamad continued.
Like the engine, the two sides cooperate to study and pay for Iranians. The Iranians maintain the Tomcat fleet. The first problem is the engine and the second problem is avionics.
Mhamad also knew that two years was short, but he couldn't wait. Electronic technology was changing with each passing day and had to speed up to continue to develop. Moreover, he knew very well about the imitation ability of Eastern countries. As long as they were put under pressure, they would definitely be able to do it.
Moreover, the people who came from Cheng Fei and Xifei were not the ones who could not help A Dou Shenfei. Mhamad believed that these people were full of energy and could create miracles.
Tu Jida was still hesitating. Two years was too short. Even if the technicians didn't sleep and did it day and night, they might not be able to make it happen. However, if they did not agree, it would be impossible to get the awg-9 radar system, which is what they lack the most. If they study it thoroughly, domestic technology will have a qualitative leap.
"Okay, we agree." Just when Tu Jida was not speaking, a voice came from the technicians.
Looking in the voice, a capable girl stood up: "We only have two years. If we can't copy it for two years, we will let you deal with it."
"Baixue, sit down, where is your turn to speak here?" While the translator had not yet reposted Baixue's words, the senior brother next to him quickly said.
"Senior Brother, this is our opportunity, two years are only two years!" Bai Xue said: "For our national defense, we must accept the challenge!"
Seeing that the translator was still, Bai Xue immediately changed his words and said to the Pakistani senior official opposite in fluent English: "My name is Bai Xue, I am a professional avionics system. I am willing to sign this military order with you. As long as we hand over the awg-9 radar to us for research, we will definitely be able to copy it within two years."
"Your side has a saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger." Mhamad said: "There is another saying that a young man is fearful. The new era belongs to young people. Mr. Tu, what about your opinion?"
Tu Jida glanced back at Bai Xue and said, "I will sign this military order with you." For national defense, this is the choice he must make.
"Okay, then we'll decide on this matter." Mhamad said: "In addition to the awg-9 radar of the Tomcat fighter, we can also provide a set of F-16 Apg-66 radar for your comparative study." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
