Yes, the two "True Dragon II" in Pakistan's hands at the moment, no, it should be called JZB-119, compared with the original "True Dragon II", the performance has been reduced by more than half.

Take the original "True Dragon II" as an example, the aircraft adopts the fuselage structure and aerodynamic shape designed by static instability technology, and uses full digital fly-by-wire control to control the impact of static instability on the fuselage stall.

Superior maneuverability while ensuring the safety of the aircraft.

To the JZB-119, the static instability technology is greatly discounted, except for a small part of the retained fur, the whole machine is equipped with the corresponding center of gravity counterweight, so that the original static instability design has been changed to static stability.

The maneuverability is not half a star worse than that of the original "True Dragon II", and at the same time, the payload has also been reduced a lot, from a maximum of 3,000 kilograms of bomb to about 2,200 kilograms today.

The engine was also castrated, and the WD-44S turbofan engine with afterburner thrust of the "True Dragon II" was replaced by the WD-42P small-bypass ratio turbofan engine.

Although it also has afterburner thrust, the thrust of the two WD-42Ps together is only 6.3 tons, which makes the maximum flight speed of the JZB-119 only Mach 1.2, which is far lower than the world's mainstream similar light combat aircraft.

As for the avionics system, landing gear, structural materials, etc., there are different degrees of simplicity.

It is no exaggeration to say that JZB-119 is the eunuch castration version of the authentic "True Dragon II".

But such a change cannot be said to be useless, at least the reliability and safety of the JZB-119 have been improved by many levels compared to the "True Dragon II".

After all, the "True Dragon II" piled up with all kinds of advanced technology itself is born for verification, and there are many uncertain risks inside, and the major accident of falling the plane during more than a year of test flights has not appeared, but large and small surges, abnormal noises, and shaking have occurred from time to time, so if you take the "True Dragon II" to sell, it is estimated that the pilots will be scared half to death as soon as they go to the sky, and they will not be able to open the market at all.

Because of this, it is indeed a feasible way to reduce the configuration and modification, or even castrate to improve reliability and safety, so as to gain market acceptance.

After all, Tengfei Group has never said what kind of fighter the JZB-119 is, and has always only claimed that it is an advanced training aircraft.

Since it is an advanced training aircraft, it is understandable that the performance level is lower, after all, it is not a thing that really goes to the battlefield and carries the front line.

If you honestly say that JZB-119 is really good, Gu Jingyou and others will not be like this, anyway, it is all true, it should be so, the problem is that Zhuang Jianye is not like this? Talking about advanced trainers? The performance text is given "True Dragon II.", which is no longer selling dog meat on a sheep's head? It's just selling zombie meat that has been frozen for more than ten years, okay!

But can't refute it? Because the TZB-2000 early warning drone has already filmed the scene of the Su-30MKI fighter in New Delhi.

Don't care how serious the JZB-119 simple configuration is, you can play the Su-30MKI around? This is ability, this is ability? There is no room for refutation.

Even insiders like Gu Jingyou can't say a word, right? Not to mention Abdullah and Mahmood, the JZB-119 is only an unfinished body of the advanced trainer level, and it has the ability to fight heavy fighters such as the Su-30MKI.

What if this is done, as Zhuang Jianye said, to replace the engine with higher thrust and apply more advanced high-end aviation materials? Equipped with powerful Doppler radar and modern avionics? The American F-22 may not have yet to fight, but in addition to that, one is not how to beat it as much as you want?

"So, I define our JZB-119 as a growth aircraft, what is a growth aircraft? It's like we cultivate a viewing tree and want it to grow? It needs to be fertilized, pested, watered, and pruned so that it can grow into the beautiful shape we need.

Is this the case with JZB-119? Now he's just an advanced trainer, but he's shown great potential to compete with heavy fighters like the Su-30MKI? This proves that JZB-119 is a rare good seedling......"

Saying that, Zhuang Jianye paused? Didn't you mean to sell off? Rather, it's really tired to say a lot? Take a breath, drink saliva, pick up the teacup next to him, and finish the tea in it as if he was in a hurry, Zhuang Jianye cleared his throat and continued: "Since the two highnesses are friends of Zarif, they are my friends of Zhuang Jianye, and I have always been honest with my friends, we can't buy and sell benevolence, no matter whether the two highnesses look down on JZB-119 or not, anyway, our Tengfei Group is going to develop it all the time." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Zarif who was like no one else: "Zarif has been seeking to join the development plan of JZB-119 and hopes to build a factory in Pakistan......"

At this moment, Zarif was drinking tea, but listening to Zhuang Jianye's words, he almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water.

The heart said, Zhuang Jianye, you are a, it is enough for me to help you match, what's the matter?

Don't open your eyes and take a look, JZB-119 has the advancement of wool!

It's okay to play the Su-30MKI and deceive chieftains like Abdullah and Mahmoud who don't know the actual situation, and can they hide from Pakistan, a veteran enemy country that has been fighting against New Delhi all year round?

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, do you Zhuang Jianye really think that Pakistan doesn't know what kind of urine the Su-30MKI fighter produced by Hindustan Aeronautics is?

Or do you think that the Pakistani Air Force's performance test of the two JZB-119s, which was upgraded with the special equipment for Pakistan's long-range launch vehicles, was honored?

Why don't you Zhuang Jianye have a bit of B in his heart?

However, Zarif thought about it in his heart, if he really wanted to say it, he couldn't be killed, as the so-called cannibalism is the shortest, that person's hands are short, and so many profit rebates (intermediary fees) are soft every year.

Otherwise, the highlight moment of playing India's lame Su-30MKI can be easily completed by sending a J-6, where can it be the turn of the JZB-119 to be in the limelight?

So at this time, he was roasted on the fire by Zhuang Jianye, Zarif really showed a smile that was so excited that it exploded no matter how painful it was, forcibly swallowed the tea in his mouth, and then coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, so he nodded again and again: "No, we have been thinking about how to join the JZB-119 project, because our Air Force has a particularly high evaluation of this model, and just now the two Highnesses also saw that the two JZB-119 were piloted by the active pilots of our Air Force, so ......"

As he spoke, Zarif looked at Zhuang Jianye with a solemn face: "My dear Zhuang, you can open the JZB-119 project, we in Pakistan don't look rich, but two or three hundred million dollars in research and development funds are still available." ”
