Dominate South Asia

The air forces of Eastern countries still follow the Soviet model, intercepting and fighting under ground guidance, and the initiative of pilots in the air is limited. However, the Pakistani Air Force, due to its frequent exchanges with the West, implements the Western model and gives pilots more autonomy. This can be seen from the organization of the Pakistani Air Force. They are organized into large squadrons, with more than 20 fighters in a squadron, while the air forces of Eastern countries have only four in a squadron.

Pakistan's air combat theory is also constantly deepening. Intercepting and fighting under ground guidance is only one aspect. More importantly, it 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 these two equipments of Pakistan, the experts from the East have deeply felt the gap. Although Eastern countries are equipped with a large number of fighters, they are still second-rate air forces. If they want to make progress, they need their hard work.

After visiting the early warning aircraft, they began to watch the flight show. When the Tomcat fighter jet dragged its tail flame and slid down the runway, it accelerated immediately after taking off, and its wings were swept back to the maximum, and soon disappeared in front of them.

"Does the Tomcat fighter jet need the pilot to control the wing sweep angle inside?" a technician asked.

Variable sweep wings are a technology that Eastern countries were once very interested in. They even got a MiG-23, disassembled it for research, and planned to copy it. However, after discovering that changing the swept wing once required the pilot to make seven or eight movements, they gave up. In an air battle, how could the pilot be distracted to make so many movements!

"The variable sweep wings of this fighter jet are completely controlled by computers automatically." Arslan explained: "Our pilots do not need to do any intervention. The computer will calculate the most appropriate sweep angle required."

Computer automatic control! Everyone was moved when they heard it.

"Is the wing box strong?" another staff member asked.

"We once used a Tomcat to break the tail of a Soviet plane, using the wing box to hit it. Then, the Tomcat returned safely, and the variable-sweep wings were still able to move freely."

The most experienced fighters now are the Pakistani Air Force, which is facing the powerful air force of the Red Empire.

A collision during high-speed movement can result in the destruction of the aircraft and the death of people if you are not careful, but the other side actually took the initiative to hit it. This is a tough air force!

As he was talking, the Tomcat came back again, this time with its wings spread out, flying at low altitude.

It was stable and there was no combat action, just flying at low altitude, but everyone present opened their eyes wide.

How fast is it? No, how slow? Only more than 200 kilometers per hour! What's the value of this? Even the J-6, which has super low-altitude maneuverability, can't be so leisurely. This shows that the heavy twin-engine fighter Tomcat can completely suppress the J-6 in the low-altitude combat that the J-6 is best at!

Although the J-6 is backward, it is the king at low and ultra-low altitudes. The J-7 was not able to fight the J-6 until it adopted the double delta wing and leading edge maneuvering flaps. As for the J-8, it is a typical high-altitude and high-speed second-generation aircraft.

The Tomcat's performance ended, and the F-16 began to perform. Just after taking off, the F-16 widened the angle of attack. Everyone watched the F-16 climb.

If the Tomcat relies on the advantage of variable swept wings, then the F-16 relies entirely on the engine! This single-engine light fighter, after having a powerful engine, has unparalleled maneuverability. Watching the F-16 doing various dazzling actions in the sky, people on the ground were stunned.

This is an advanced third-generation fighter! It does not emphasize how high the altitude and speed are, but the maneuverability and the ability to turn with the trend. The nose of the aircraft can move quickly, which means that the pilot has more opportunities to point the nose at the opponent. They even thought that the four J-7 fighters on their side, besieging such a fighter, might also be counterattacked by the opponent.

Static viewing does not allow you to appreciate the power of these fighters. Now watching the opponent's performance, everyone realizes that the fighters in their own country are no longer fighters in front of these fighters, but scum.

After lunch, the warm and friendly meeting began again.

"We admire the performance in the morning very much. Your country has first-class fighters and first-class pilots." Tu Jida said: "In terms of air combat, you are ahead of us. We have a lot to learn."

Tu Jida's words were full of emotion. Realizing the gap, it is not shameful to say it here in Pakistan.

"It is the war that forces us to be strong." Nur-Khan said: "If we are not strong, we will only be destroyed on the battlefield."

Thinking of the domestic air force, in order to fly safely, in order not to lose their official positions, and to climb up, many flying units have less than a dozen flying hours a year, and do not perform any difficult maneuvers. Tu Jida was very emotional.

"Yes, only through war can we train a strong air force." Tu Jida continued: "We have received instructions from our superiors that we can cooperate on engines. However, in addition to engines, we also hope to have deeper cooperation in other areas, such as avionics systems."

Mhammad watched Tujida speak. The advancement of the avionics system has a 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 mapping use." Tujida said, and then looked at the people in front of him, waiting for their response.

The AWG-9 radar is the radar of the Tomcat fighter. 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, guide the attack of the Phoenix, and has terrain mapping, synthetic aperture and other modes.

With the cooperation between the two sides, it is not difficult to understand the structure and performance of this radar. However, asking the other party to provide a complete system for mapping is related to the other party's operations. After all, the other party will not have many spare parts, and they have to hide it from the United States.

Among the technicians, Bai Xue is the most worried. She looks at the expressions of those people above, especially Muhammad. What if the other party disagrees?

Muhammad looked at Nur-Khan and saw that Nur-Khan nodded, so Muhammad said: "You must issue a military order for this matter."

Military order? Tujida didn't know what Muhammad was going to say, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"We can provide you with a complete set of spare parts in our spare parts warehouse, but you must complete the mapping and imitation of this radar within two years." Muhammad said: "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 us, two years is too short.

Domestic electronic technology has just recovered, while Western electronic technology is already very advanced. This radar must use semiconductors, or even integrated circuits. Two years is enough to study it thoroughly, but as for imitation, it may take several years.

"As for funds, we can also find a third party. Someone will be interested in this imitation." Muhammad continued.

Like the engine, the two sides cooperated in research, and asked Iran to pay for it. The Iranians maintained the Tomcat fleet. The first problem was the engine, and the second problem was avionics.

Muhammad also knew that two years was a short time, but he couldn't wait. Electronic technology was changing with each passing day, and it was necessary to speed up to catch up in order to continue to develop. Moreover, he was very familiar with the imitation capabilities of Eastern countries. As long as they were put under pressure, they would definitely be able to do it.

Moreover, the people who came were from Chengfei and Xifei, not the helpless Shenfei. Muhammad believed that these people were full of energy and could create miracles.

Tu Jida was still hesitating in his heart. Two years was too short. Even if the technicians did not sleep and worked day and night, they might not be able to figure it out. However, if he did not agree, he would not be able to get the AWG-9 radar system, which was the most lacking one. If the research was thorough, the domestic technology would have a qualitative leap.

"Okay, we agree." Just before Tu Jida spoke, a voice came from the technicians.

Following the voice, a capable girl stood up and said, "We will have two years. If we still can't copy it in two years, we will let you do whatever you want."

"Bai Xue, sit down. It's not your turn to speak here." The senior brother beside her said quickly before the translator relayed Bai Xue's words.

"Senior brother, this is our chance. Two years is two years!" Bai Xue said, "For the sake of our national defense, we must accept the challenge!"

Seeing that the translator didn't move, Bai Xue immediately changed her words and said to the Pakistani senior official opposite in fluent English, "My name is Bai Xue, I'm an avionics system major. I am willing to sign this military order with you. As long as you give us the AWG-9 radar for research, we will definitely be able to copy it within two years."

"You have a saying, called a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger." Muhammad said, "There is also a saying, called the young are formidable. The new era belongs to the young. Mr. Tu, what do you think?"

Tu Jida glanced back at Bai Xue and said, "I will sign this military order with you." For the sake of national defense, this is a choice that he must make.

"Okay, then we have settled this matter." Muhammad said, "In addition to the Tomcat fighter's AWG-9 radar, we can also provide a set of F-16's APG-66 radar for your comparison and study."
