Dominate South Asia

It is still cold in the north, and it is the late spring cold season. In the south, the climate has become a bit sultry. Chengdu, located in the Sichuan Basin, is also starting to get hotter at this time.

In Chengfei's office, senior engineers and leaders are sitting together, and everyone's face is very serious.

"The President of the United States came to visit and brought us F-16 fighter jets." Tu Jida was still the top person in charge of Chengdu Aircraft at this time. He first said: "Chen Aircraft is very interested in this and wants to introduce a complete production line for For the production of this kind of fighter, the authorities have decided to temporarily reduce the funds provided to us to invest in the F-16.”

This is definitely bad news for Chengdu Aircraft. Relying on the No. 10 Project, Chengdu Aircraft can finally raise its head. Who knows, another basin of cold water is poured on it, and the F-16 is actually going to be introduced!

This is a light fighter, which has a lot of overlap with the No. 10 aircraft. If this project goes ahead, there will be almost no problems for our own side.

Mr. Song also looked serious and tired. He had just returned from the capital. He met with leaders at all levels and hoped to apply for the next stage of test flight expenses, but they were all rejected.

Could it be that this time the No. 10 Project will die like the J-9? Why is the road to developing a fighter jet so tortuous? Wouldn’t those officials from the Third Machinery Department use their brains to think about why the Americans suddenly launched this arms sale at this time? It was developed to suppress our own fighter planes!

Mr. Song knew it well, but had no choice. After all, the test flight of this fighter plane requires a lot of money. All kinds of problems can only be discovered in the sky. Every ups and downs are burning. money.

Although Chengfei has its own channels. However, the subsequent test flight costs of Project 10 are still quite large, and they must have national support.

"I think we as a whole Chengdu Airlines should write a petition, and everyone should write their names, and then we can go to the capital to petition!" said an old engineer.

"Yes, Project No. 10 will be successful soon. We cannot let it go to waste at this juncture!"

"Yes, let's go to the capital together!"

People suddenly became excited.

Tu Kida shook his head: "No, if we do this, it will only make our superiors' impression of us worse."

"Bang." At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Yang Wei, the chief engineer of the flight control, ran in excitedly: "Good news, good news!"

"What's the news?" Mr. Song asked.

"I just communicated with Pakistan, and they said that if the funding given to us by our superiors is terminated, Pakistan can continue to provide funds until we have successfully developed this fighter jet. Moreover, Pakistan intends to at least produce it in their country. Eighty identical fighter planes!”

Pakistan! At this time, standing firmly behind Cheng Fei is their good friend, Pakistan! When Project No. 10 was first developed, Pakistan provided help. Now, when Project No. 10 is facing the risk of miscarriage, Pakistan has given another reassurance. Which one is better, J-10 or F-16? Pakistan, which already has F-16s, will also equip J-10 fighters!

The gloom was swept away, and excitement returned to everyone's faces. Even President Song's face was full of smiles, and he said: "Great! We must successfully develop the J-10 and become a competitive machine!"

"However, Pakistan has also provided us with another plan." Yang Wei continued: "In order to crush the American conspiracy, we can organize a confrontation exercise! In the exercise, use our No. 10 aircraft to defeat the F-16 ! In this way, Mr. Deng will definitely support our No. 10 aircraft, and the F-16 will no longer enter our army!"

After learning about Bush Sr.'s visit to China, Hamad knew what was going on. The Americans want to curb the rise of Pakistan and China, especially in aviation technology! They have learned that Pakistan and China are jointly developing these advanced third-generation fighters. We must do everything possible to suppress it!

Regarding this conspiracy of the United States, Mhamad certainly cannot let them succeed. After all, in Mhamad's plan, Pakistan's heavy fighter is a copycat Tomcat, and the medium fighter is the J-10! The maneuverability of this fighter exceeds that of the F-16! Moreover, it has completely independent intellectual property rights, and future improvements and optimizations can be carried out independently. The most important thing is that the United States does not know the various performances of this fighter jet!

Now, the Americans want to play a conspiracy, so Mhammad immediately ordered to contact the Chinese side to express Pakistan's position and provide firm support to Chengdu Aircraft! Now, the person who has the most contact with Pakistan is Yang Wei, the chief designer of flight control, so they conveyed their opinions directly through Yang Wei.

When necessary, Pakistan can inject funds and jointly develop it, but it is not yet at this step. One solution provided by Mhammad is to organize a confrontation exercise! In actual combat, the advanced performance of the No. 10 machine was confirmed!

Now, the test flight of the No. 10 aircraft has been carried out for almost half a year, and there is still a long time before the official final test flight. In other words, now is the time to solve the most basic problems. However, even so, this aircraft has demonstrated strong maneuverability. The canard layout inherently gives the fighter aircraft the ability to quickly point its nose at an instant. Compared with hovering, the F-16 simply cannot compare.

Another advantage they have is that they know the weaknesses of the F-16. Pakistan is also equipped with F-16 fighters and is well aware of the various performances of the fighters. Therefore, they use the advantages of the No. 10 aircraft to restrain the F-16 , let Mr. Deng know who is the fighter more suitable for China's future skies!

In later generations, the strength and weakness of the J-10 and the F-16 has always been a topic in the mouths of military fans. Various comparisons have emerged one after another. There are even rumors that China's fighter jets conducted exercises with Pakistan's F-16, and the results were He was mistreated by others.

However, the actual comparison is definitely not a simple comparison of a few data. The quality of the pilots and the use of various tactics will play an important role in the battle. For example, the MiG-25 is best at high altitude and high speed. However, in the battle between Iraq and multinational forces, it still performed four graceful snake-like maneuvers and successfully broke into the sight of American fighter jets.

Moreover, the F-16 is an evergreen tree of military aircraft. It has been produced for decades and more than 4,000 aircraft have been produced worldwide. The models have been gradually improved. Now, it has reached the level of block 50. Replacement A more powerful engine , various electronic equipment have been updated. It may still be difficult to fight with this type of fighter aircraft. However, the fighter aircraft exported by the United States to China this time is not this type of aircraft, but F-16/79! This kind of aircraft , still using a turbojet engine! It is simply designed to fool people. Now, China's top management does not know that this is a castrated version, but the Three Machinery Department and Shen Fei, who know the inside story, will not take the initiative to tell them.

After hearing Yang Wei's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Yes, as long as our No. 10 aircraft comes on stage, we will definitely be able to defeat the F-16!" Tu Kida said: "It's just that our aircraft is still in the test flight stage. If we use an aircraft in the test flight stage to fight, I'm afraid it will There will be risks.”

Project No. 10 is progressing rapidly. There are now four prototypes undergoing various flight tests. Among them, No. 004 was modified in many aspects after problems were exposed on the basis of test flights, especially the air intake. A bulge has also appeared that can greatly increase the high-speed capability of this fighter. This is a full-state aircraft that has been installed with a full set of avionics equipment, including China's own pulse Doppler radar.

Even so, the confrontation will still be full of risks. If one's own aircraft malfunctions during the confrontation, it will lay the foundation for the F-16 to enter China!

"Yes, there are definitely risks, but we must take this risk!" President Song said: "The West is trying its best to obstruct the development of our fighter planes, and we have comprador bureaucracy at work in our country. We must use A clean battle to crush their conspiracy!"

Mr. Song's hand hit the table hard, and the water glass on the table was shaken. Everyone knew that Mr. Song, who was usually stern in appearance but kind in heart, was really angry at this time.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Tu, I have another idea." At this moment, Yang Wei on the side continued to speak: "In order for our confrontation exercise to be completely successful, we should be able to communicate with Pakistan and use their F110 engine."

At this time, what morality is there? People from Shenfei can move up and down, and even in order to introduce this kind of fighter jet, they didn't even explain to their superiors that the engine is a turbojet. What reason can our own side have to argue? The fighters currently being tested all use TF-41 engines, with a maximum afterburning thrust of 100,000 N, while the F110 engine has a maximum afterburning thrust of 120,000 N! This increased thrust is enough to make this fighter's maneuverability even better!

After hearing Yang Wei's words, Mr. Song's eyes became sharper and he looked at Yang Wei: "Are you confident?"

"Yes! We can complete the reintegration of the software within ten days. As for flight control, I can write a military order." Yang Wei replied.

"Okay, then let's prepare separately. Lao Tu and I will go to the capital and persuade the people from the Third Machinery Department to challenge Shen Fei! You guys here, put the F110 in it for me!" Mr. Song said: "This time, we have to Let Shen Fei win with all his heart!" (To be continued~^~)
