Chapter 246: A Different Airshow (Part 2)

At this moment, the photography area of the airshow was in complete chaos.

After all, the Haizhu Airshow has been held for over 20 years since its inception.

During this time, fourteen sessions have been held, and this is the first time that a foreign main battle aircraft has come across the border to participate.

What's more, the Su-57 in front of them is no ordinary fighter jet, but one of the world's three recognized heavy fifth-generation fighter jets.

Although Russian warplanes are usually known in the industry for their 'rough craftsmanship' and backward electronic warfare technology.

However, they are durable and have the inherited high maneuverability of Russian fighter jets from the Soviet era.

The flattened aerodynamic layout alone is enough to rank among the world's leading levels of fighter jet research and development.

Back then, the reason why the American F-15 fighter jet was able to achieve mass production and service in the 1970s was all thanks to a MiG-25 pilot traitor who went to the Japanese, allowing McDonnell Douglas to absorb (copy) the design technology of Russian twin-engine, all-weather, highly maneuverable heavy fighter jets.

In addition, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of Russian scientists were lured by the US dollar to defect to the United States, otherwise, even the F-22 Raptor, which is one level below the F-15, might not have been created by the Americans!

Of course, it is no longer meaningful to talk about these aviation circle anecdotes.

The appearance of this Su-57 immediately made it the most dazzling star of the entire Haizhu Airshow!

Just a simple flyby and landing, slowly taxiing to the apron of the airshow, made a group of military enthusiasts in the photography area turn their cameras and take pictures.

The sound of the shutter clicking was endless.

Including Li Mo, who came to record video footage, was also extremely excited at this moment.

He only heard in the group that there would be big news at this fifteenth airshow.

He never expected that the news would come so fiercely and powerfully!

"The Russian Su-57 has arrived just after the start of the exhibition, will the J-20S be released later?"

Li Mo took hundreds of high-magnification, full-frame close-up photos, and pulled a few newly acquainted military enthusiast friends around him for a discussion.

"J-20S?"

"Is that the two-seater version of the fifth-generation aircraft that can be equipped with loyal wingmen?"

"According to the spy photos of the J-20S on the Internet, it seems that it is still just a yellow-skinned aircraft, and it should still be in the testing and verification stage, so it won't be pulled out so quickly!"

Several military enthusiasts around began to discuss.

In recent years, the atmosphere of domestic airshows has become increasingly intense. The frequent appearance of the J-20, a national treasure, has long whetted the appetites of domestic military enthusiasts.

Not to mention the J-20, which has been replaced with a brand-new domestic turbofan 15 engine, even if a legendary multi-aircraft formation were to perform a large elephant walk on the take-off and landing runway, it is estimated that Li Mo and other senior military enthusiasts would not be satisfied.

After all, the Russians have sent the Su-57 to stand guard and challenge, and we always feel that something is missing when we only bring out the J-20.

Just as everyone was talking about it.

The Su-57 fighter jet that had stopped began to open its hatch, and an elderly pilot climbed out.

As soon as this old Russian showed up, some old military enthusiasts in the photography area began to cheer.

"Damn!"

"It's Sergei Bogdan, the old man!"

"The legendary Russian test pilot!"

Old military enthusiasts discussed.

This Sergei Bogdan can be said to be an evergreen tree and a great person among Russian test pilots.

The old man was born in 1962 and served in the Soviet army from 1983. He flew fighter jets and bombers until 1991, the year the Soviet Union collapsed, when he retired from the air force and became a test pilot.

Whether it is the Russian active or retired aircraft, or the Su-47 Berkut, a cross-era forward-swept wing fighter jet, this old man has played with them all.

At the age of 62, he flew the Su-57 alone for more than 4,000 kilometers, with only one stop for refueling. This professional ethics and unique energy are enough to prove the excellence of this old man.

"It's over! The challenger is here!"

"The Su-57 plus the old man Sergei to challenge, this is a legendary fighter with a legendary pilot, the star effect is absolutely full!"

Li Mo put down the black and white bazooka in his hand and smacked his lips in surprise.

Being challenged by a Russian fighter jet at his own airshow, everyone present felt a little unbalanced.

Although military enthusiasts admire powerful weapons, in the face of national sentiments, these personal worships are secondary.

So, when the six J-20 formations entered the arena later, the cheers from the audience were even louder, completely overshadowing the Su-57's debut.

"Awesome!"

"Awesome!"

"Our six-winged angel is still more handsome!"

Li Mo and other young military enthusiasts were so excited that their mouths were grinning.

Especially when one of the J-20s broke away from the formation and began to slowly land on the runway of Jinwan Airport, the rich guys in the photography area almost shouted themselves hoarse.

Even the Russian pilots of the Brave Knights aerobatic team who had landed earlier, and that old man Sergei, were all looking at the Chinese fifth-generation fighter jet slowly approaching the apron with emotion.

The perfect silver-gray paint, the streamlined fuselage skin without any burrs, the variable swept-wing layout, the sci-fi green Luneberg lens, and the cockpit dashboard, all made these Russian pilots who came from afar envious.

Their eyes bulged, and they couldn't wait to take their eyeballs out and stick them on this J-20 with its six wings spread.

The reason why these Russian pilots came from afar.

In addition to wanting to use the Haizhu Airshow as a platform to promote Russian warplanes, whose reputation has been declining year by year, and see if they can find some potential customers from those big Middle Eastern countries.

It is also not without the intention of comparing with the equipment of the Chinese Air Force.

This is like watching poor relatives in the countryside suddenly turn over and suddenly become unaffordable rich people in less than ten years. It is very normal to feel unbalanced.

But after seeing the J-20 parked on the side, Sergei and his disciples of the Brave Knights aerobatic team were all convinced.

A group of people muttered privately: "Sukablyat! Chinese technology is too advanced!"

"Look at their fuselage craftsmanship, and compare it with our rivet fighter jets, it doesn't feel like a product of the same era."

"Indeed, it feels like the plagiarized aircraft made by those American bitches are not as good as this J-20."

"Our country's industrial base has fallen too far behind China, especially the precision machining technology, even Germany and Japan can't catch up. I hope that the exchange at this airshow will allow the Duma oligarchs in our country to open their eyes and see the world."

Sergei, as a legend among Russian test pilots, still has this kind of courage and insight.

After all, there is a famous saying in the military industry circle, that is: "The more beautiful the weapons and equipment are, the more combat power they have!"

Especially for fighter jets, which are the crown of the military industry, they are all deduced and simulated by supercomputers, and then sent to advanced wind tunnels to do tests with proportional fuselages.

With the help of forward-looking design technology, industrial aesthetics are almost brought to the extreme in the appearance of fighter jets.

Although Soviet fighter jets have a long history, they were once the teachers of Chinese fighter jets.

But now times have changed. Under the dimensional reduction strike of industrial Cthulhu, even Sergei, a legendary pilot who has experienced two dynasties, has to admit it.

It's just that these Russian pilots had just come down to meet and discuss the various details of the J-20 in front of them at close range.

A strange roar from the sky made Sergei and others look up at the same time.

I saw a wave-riding aircraft the size of an eagle flying through the sky at a very high speed.

The smoke trailing behind the aircraft and the shock waves generated when it broke the sound barrier made Sergei and the rich military enthusiasts on the scene stunned!

"Is this a drone made by the Chinese?"

"A high-speed drone with a wave-riding shape? It's the first time I've seen it…"

"No! It's still accelerating!"

"So fast!"

"Too fast!"

"Sukablyat! This estimated speed… This speed is more than twice as fast as the peak speed of our MiG-25!"
