Chapter 379 Flying Leopard Test Flight
Submarines are an important underwater force. If Argentina had these two submarines participating in the war during the Falklands War, the result of the Falklands War might have to be rewritten.⊥, German-made submarines have advanced technology and very good underwater silent performance. If Taiwan obtained these two submarines, then they would have outstanding underwater advantages.
Now, Taiwan has only a few backward submarines and has almost no combat capability. On the mainland, there are only old Soviet-designed submarines, and the anti-submarine power of the mainland is also quite weak. Anti-submarine weapons are almost dominated by anti-submarine rockets, and there are no advanced sonar equipment. If Taiwan has an underwater advantage, it will have serious consequences.
Therefore, when Mhamad said this, the expressions of several military generals present immediately became serious.
"We must not let Taiwan obtain these two submarines! We will put pressure on Argentina through diplomatic channels." Deng Gong said.
Anyway, China is also one of the five permanent members, and through diplomacy, exerting pressure can play a role.
"It's not just Argentina, it's Germany that matters." Mhamad said.
Although these two submarines were built in Argentina, all the equipment was imported from Germany, and Germany is the main supplier. As long as Germany issues a statement, if Taiwan obtains these two submarines, Germany will not provide the remaining equipment and refuses to carry out subsequent maintenance of these equipment. Then, even if Taiwan obtains the submarine, it will be useless.
Germany now has a good relationship with Pakistan. The two sides have carried out a lot of cooperation in military aspects, including the engine provided by Pakistan to Germany secretly. The Al-31 on the Su-27 fighter jet is a high-thrust engine. The afterburner thrust exceeds 100,000 knots. Germany, coupled with the rd33 it obtained before, can gain a lot of experience.
Pakistan and China put pressure on Germany together, and Germany will definitely agree. In this way, the two submarines will have no buyers. Argentina will be forced to lower the price, and Pakistan can buy the two submarines at the best price.
Pakistan also needs submarines! Mhamad has long been interested in those two submarines, but it is not the time yet. He needs to ruin the business between Taiwan and Argentina first, so he can make the next one come true.
"Yes, we need to express our position to Germany simultaneously. We do not want to see Taiwan own the most advanced submarines in Germany." Mr. Deng continued.
Now, except for France who can sell arms on a large scale without worrying about various influences, other countries have to be careful. After all, France is not a member of NATO and is not controlled by NATO.
"We will also raise serious protests to Germany," Mhamad said. "With our joint opposition, Germany will make their choice."
This matter is not difficult. This was also solved in history. With the efforts of the mainland's diplomaticism, Argentina had to give up exports, and Germany would not provide subsequent maintenance, so Taiwan's dream of advanced submarines broke down.
"We both have common interests. Only by working together to develop together can we continue to make progress." Mhamad said: "Now, our road has been built. We plan to build a road to Iran in northern Afghanistan. When this road is built, our exchanges with Central Asia and the Middle East will be smoother."
Deng Gong's eyes suddenly lit up. Now, reforms are being carried out in China and economic development are being carried out, which requires a huge consumer market. Iran seems to be a good choice!
Moreover, transferring from land to countries in the Middle East will also significantly shorten the transportation distance, which is of great significance!
The last time Mhamad came, both sides decided to build the road. Now, two years have passed, and this road has been completed!
The roads in northern Afghanistan are difficult to walk, but there are many mines there. To develop Pakistan's industry, it requires deposits in northern Afghanistan. Therefore, building a road that runs across the east and west is essential. At the same time, it can also solve the most important energy shortage problem in Pakistan. In the future, an oil pipeline can be built in southern Afghanistan.
This road can also facilitate the transportation of materials in China.
"President Mhamad, you look far, military, political, and economic, you are all versatile. Pakistan has you as president, it is Pakistan's luck." said Mr. Deng.
Other families have become history, and now Mhamad is the most suitable ruler of Pakistan.
"Deng Gong has won the award. Now, we are mainly military communication." Mhamad said: "I came this time and want to go to Chengfei and Xifei to see how the fighter aircraft are developed there."
Historically, as the country devoted most of its energy to economic construction, many national defense projects were discontinued, and the development of fighter jets that required high investment was even slower. However, now, the situation has changed a lot. With the help of Pakistan, the SBE engine has finally completed all localization and improved advanced models.
By exporting these engines to South Africa and Iran, the country has obtained sufficient R&D funds. Even if the state does not allocate funds, the development of fighter jets is in progress in an orderly manner.
Moreover, through comparison with the Pakistani air force, senior military officials in the country have seen what modern air combat is, realized the huge gap between their own side and foreign countries, and their emphasis on air force equipment has gradually strengthened. The development of fighter jets of Xifei and Chengfei has made rapid progress.
When he heard Mhamad say he wanted to go downstairs to see, Mr. Deng was happy: "I will go with you to see. I also hope to see our fighter planes so that we can get up in the air as soon as possible."
Deng Gong knew that Xifei and Chengfei were carrying out key projects, and they were unanimously concerned about it. He also approved the J-H-7 project at the time, but the country has a lot of affairs and has never had time to go around. Now, when we meet Mhamad, we can take time out.
The next day, Mr. Deng and Mhamad and his party arrived at West Flight.
When Chen Yijian learned that the Chairman and Pakistan were coming, he was very excited and welcomed the arrival of the convoy at the gate. When he saw the Chairman and President Mhamad get out of the car, Chen Yijian was even more excited.
"Chairman, President, welcome to fly to the West to inspect!" Chen Yijian said.
"Mr. Chen, how is Fei Bao developing it?" asked Mhamad.
"The test flight has started. During the first test flight, some problems occurred, and now they have been overcome." Chen Yijian said.
Test flights have begun! In history, this kind of military aircraft only started to test flights in 1988, but in 1986, it happened to face the risk of dismounting again. Now, due to Pakistan's intervention, the development progress of this fighter aircraft has been greatly accelerated. Now, the test flights have begun to be conducted in an orderly manner!
The test flight? Mhamad was excited when he heard it: "Then let's go to the test flight venue first and see the flying leopard."
Mhamad was very interested, so he went to the airport without entering 603.
At the end of the runway, a twin-engine fighter, single vertical tail, two-seat, normal aerodynamic layout, and air intake on both sides. As soon as I saw this plane, Mhamad immediately thought of the fighter jets that were equipped with troops in the future and guarding the seafront. He couldn't help but say: "Okay, the flying leopard has finally tested the flight!"
Test flight is to test various data during design and to detect various possible problems of the aircraft, which is very dangerous.
"The fighter jets we developed ourselves have already started to test flights." Mr. Deng was also very excited.
"Report, the test flight subjects conducted today are the maximum speed subjects at high altitudes." Test pilot Huang Bingxin and navigator Yang Buxin, carrying his helmets, said to Mr. Deng and Mhamad who came to the end of the runway.
"Captain Huang, I'm here, waiting for you to complete the test flight." Deng Gong said.
Maximum speed subject at high altitude? Mhamad seemed to remember the information he had read, but he couldn't remember it clearly. He watched the two saluted and walked onto the plane.
Flames spewed out from the tail of the Flying Leopard fighter, and two Spey engines were successfully ignited. The fighter skidded on the runway and then rushed straight to the blue sky.
Since he suddenly asked to come here, there were not even a parasol, he placed a few chairs on the ground, and Mr. Deng, Mhamad and others sat down.
"This fighter jet looks so beautiful," said Mhamad. "This is the first fighter jet you have designed by you who abandoned the appearance of Soviet fighter jets."
Although it still retains the wing knife and even a three-piece windshield, this has been a great improvement after all.
"Yes, we have been greatly inspired by your fighter jets. Unfortunately, due to our technology, we are still using hydraulic transmission and fire control systems. We are temporarily still on counterweights. We are waiting to share technology with Chengfei, and after Chengfei has successfully developed it, we will replace the integrated fire control system and digital telex system."
When a Soviet fighter launches a missile, he has to turn multiple switches, but the US-made fighter is very easy and convenient, because the US-made fighter uses a comprehensive fire control system and uses 1553b data bus technology to integrate various fire control systems. However, the Soviet fighter is still separate. For each weapon, the corresponding control system must be added, which is extremely cumbersome.
Therefore, the integrated fire control system is a trend, and Xifei's power is limited. Now it is a body. After Chengfei's development is successful, you can take it directly.
