Dominate South Asia

Su-35! In later generations, this number opened the eyes of many military fans, because the Su-27 has been developed to this model before it finally matured! The Russian media is also constantly shouting about how many Su-35s China has ordered from Russia. In fact, it is just propaganda, trying to let the Su-35 take over the class of the Su-27. Unfortunately, it has been deceived for so many years. China will not continue to suffer in this regard and will rely on its own research and development. It's true, and in future generations, the only difference between China's aviation technology and Russia's is the engine. In other places, China is even stronger. Therefore, at most, it just likes the Su-35's engine and doesn't like it. We will not invest huge sums of money to purchase complete Su-35 aircraft.

And that is the Su-35 of later generations, which is different from the current Su-35. Only senior military fans know that before the Su-35 appeared in later generations, Sukhoi had used the Su-35 number for his fighter plane, which is now the Su-27M, and the later Su-35, It is the model of Su-27BM, B stands for improved type, and M means multi-functional.

However, although the Su-27 in front of us now is a three-wing monster, coupled with the new thrust vector engine, it will definitely be better in close combat. Mhammad also guessed what these Soviets meant. In order to obtain the contract from China, a lot of money was spent, even this abnormally improved model was given to China.

And will the Soviets play tricks on China? For example, if the show is the latest model, when it is given, it will be a backward model? Or at best, we can give you an airframe, engine, etc., or do you have to import Soviet ones?

Hamad was thinking in his mind while walking forward. "We want to see the radar of this fighter jet," he said.

On the way here, what Mhamad wanted to see most was the radar. Now, he was attracted by the three wings, tail cone and engine, and temporarily forgot to look at the nose.

"Our fighter plane uses a radar manufactured by the Soviet Union's top technology." The Soviet engineer continued to say proudly: "This all-weather digital multi-functional airborne radar uses phased array technology, which not only has air surveillance capabilities, but also It also has ground surveillance capabilities. It supports terrain mapping, search and tracking of ground moving targets, and terrain avoidance, which completely exceeds the airborne radar on the American F-15 fighter. "

As he spoke, a Soviet ground crew member opened the nose of the aircraft, revealing a large circular radar antenna with no protrusions on it, and small cylinders could be seen on the surface.

Phased array radar! Even Hamad never thought that the Soviets were so hard-working that they could even install this thing on the Su-27?

The Soviets were the first country to put phased array radars on fighter aircraft. The first carrier aircraft is the MiG-31. This radar gives the MiG-31 a powerful interception capability, and the search range for fighter targets is 200 kilometers. It can track 10 targets at the same time and attack the 4 most threatening ones. The radar has a strong downward-looking capability, allowing it to intercept incoming low-altitude cruise missiles, and can also be used as a long-range airborne early warning radar. The Soviets' backward airborne radar can only be considered to have regained its self-esteem with this.

Moreover, previous fighter jets usually turned sideways to defeat the lock of pulse Doppler radar, which was ineffective in the face of phased array radar. Therefore, in later generations, airborne phased array radar has received more and more attention.

but. One disadvantage of this radar is that it is quite expensive! Even the Soviet Union, which did not understand cost accounting at all, only used this kind of radar on interceptors.

The main airborne phased array radars developed by various countries in later generations are almost all solid-state active phased array radars. However, the Soviet technology is still limited to passive phased array radars. Even so, this radar is not enough. Perverted.

If possible. Mhamad really wants to move back to the domestic Tomcat fighter jets. After all, airborne radar continues to develop, and its final form is phased array radar!

Pakistan still has a lot of roads to go, and its legacy as a powerful country is profound.

"Our front-view and rear-view radars can both be displayed on the display screen in the cockpit." The Soviets continued: "We already have two large-area display screens in the cockpit of our fighter aircraft."

It seems that the Soviets in recent years. A lot of progress has been made in the electronic system, Hamad couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Stepping on the ladder, Hamad looked at the cockpit inside with great interest. Sure enough, with two large LCD screens, it seemed that the Soviets also knew about the integration of avionics. You must know that a single instrument has its own display and does not affect each other, but this kind of display is based on an LCD screen, which is the combined result.

However, when Mhammad looked closer, he found that there seemed to be a logo printed on the lower right corner of the LCD screen inside. It was not affixed, but a logo that existed directly on the outer glass of the LCD panel. Not Russian, but French letters!

Immediately, Hamad realized that many of the advanced electronic equipment in this aircraft were imported from the West, right? Especially France, which is not a NATO country, would have no problem selling some electronic equipment to the Soviet Union. This plane is brought here just to deceive China!

The Su-27M in history played such a role. At that time, it had become the Sukhoi Design Bureau in Russia. It introduced a large number of Western technologies and finished equipment and installed them on the Su-27M to improve the avionics level. However, because it was too early, the performance improvement was limited, and a large number of equipment, functions and performance indicators were in the unfinished verification or even paper stage. Therefore, this thing is actually a verification machine. The Russians promoted it everywhere, but even the Indians were not fooled.

The Soviets now have learned to be smart. In order to receive orders from China, they can be said to have spared no effort. Muhammad thought of this and began to despise it. Isn't this a trick? Where is Uncle Benshan? These guys have been fooled!

However, the senior officials of China were indeed tempted. The high-end phased array radar completely conquered them, and the cockpit inside was also advanced enough, at least at the same level as the J-10, indicating that the Soviets have made significant progress in electronic technology.

"Our fighter has an advanced fuselage, first-class avionics, and a high-thrust engine. It is the pinnacle of military aircraft in the world. Now, we will conduct a flight show. Many of the maneuvers in this show can only be performed by our fighter." The representative of the Soviet Union, engineer B.K. Gorishen said.

The electronic equipment is copied, and the phased array radar comes from the improved model of the MiG-31. However, the fuselage, aerodynamics and engine of the fighter are all made by the Soviets themselves, especially the engine. With the thrust vector nozzle, the maneuverability must be better. Muhammad looked at the vertical tail of the fighter. The number behind it is 711. It seems that this number is very familiar? It has been too long, and Muhammad can't remember it.

"This fighter must be very expensive, right?" Muhammad asked.

The topic of price is the most sensitive. It is said that the Su-27 contract was signed by a group of military personnel who went to the Russians for a drink and knocked them all down, so that the Russians were convinced and agreed to sign the agreement at the Chinese price.

"Yes, the cost of this plane is about 50 million rubles." Golishin said: "However, if the Chinese think the price is too high, they can lower the requirements for the equipment on it, and the price will come down."

Sure enough, just as Muhammad thought, he first fooled China with this plane, and then when it came to negotiating the introduction, if the Chinese thought it was too expensive, they would need to replace some parts, and it would definitely be cheaper.

Muhammad couldn't help but laugh in his heart. These Soviets still wanted to fool the Chinese, which was simply impossible. The Chinese were the most shrewd.

They all moved to the observation point on one side of the apron. Muhammad could see a tall Soviet pilot walking towards the plane through a telescope.

"The one who performed the flight show this time is our meritorious test pilot, Ishakov, who can fully bring out the flight performance of this aircraft." Golishin said: "Please enjoy our flight show."

Ishakov is one of the important test pilots within Sukhoi. He has been in contact with this aircraft almost since the T-10 project and has flown for thousands of hours. Now, flying this improved Su-27 fighter is even more familiar.

He strode into the cockpit, closed the hatch, turned on various switches, and a roar came from the tail. The two AL-37FU engines have been successfully ignited.

This engine is improved on the basis of AL-31. It has greater thrust and the afterburner thrust is as high as 145 kilonewtons, which is almost 20% higher than the prototype AL-31. Moreover, the tail nozzle can be turned. By controlling the direction of the tail nozzle, more maneuvers can be made. FU means afterburning and controllable.

He was very familiar with this plane, and this flight show would definitely surprise the Chinese people!

Taxiing, aiming at the runway, Ishakov turned on the afterburner, fully opened the throttle, and the fighter plane taxied quickly on the runway.

Relying on these two high-thrust engines, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine has long exceeded 1. Ishakov pulled the control stick back, and at the same time, the tail nozzle also tilted upwards. The nose of the fighter plane was immediately lifted up and it flew up into the sky.
