Chapter 126: Subverting the Existing Thinking of Air Warfare
"Yes, we didn't expect that the actual combat performance of JZB-119 would be so good!"
Zarif put his arm around Zhuang Jianye and warmly saluted, and then the two let go, and then Zarif introduced to the two people wearing white Arab robes behind him: "Zhuang, let me introduce to you, this is His Royal Highness Abdullah, State Counsellor of the United Arab Emirates......"
As he spoke, he whispered in Zhuang Jianye's ear: "Maxim's father, the third largest tribe in the UAE, the sheikh of Amal!"
"Maxim and I have been good friends for many years, and it is a pleasure to see you here, my dear Highness!"
Zhuang Jianye's face immediately showed a complicated look of shock and sincere fear, and Abdullah laughed and opened his arms: "Maxim often mentions you in front of me, my dear Zhuang, that you are the smartest angel he has ever seen. ”
"Maxim praised, he is the real angel!" Zhuang Jianye complimented, hugged Abdullah warmly, and performed a veneer salute unique to the Arab world.
"Zhuang, this is the deputy director of the Equipment Procurement Directorate of the Algerian Ministry of Defence, Mr. Mahmoud. Zarif continued, not forgetting to whisper: "He is also the heir to the sheikh of the largest tribe in northern Algeria." ”
Zhuang Jianye suddenly said, well, it is impossible for a small deputy director of the Equipment Procurement Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense to let Zarif Xingshi move the crowd to receive him with the real sheikhs of the United Arab Emirates, it turns out that he is the prince of the local princes, then everything makes sense, what deputy directors are low-key appendages of these highnesses, and the real power princes are the essence of the halo behind them.
Zhuang Jianye is still very happy about this, and he prefers to deal with these powerful people than those Arab streams who hold high positions in the government but have no real power.
Even if you can't procure equipment for the regular army, at least you can get something good for your tribe.
Therefore, Zhuang Jianye hugged Mahmoud quite enthusiastically, like a good brother who had not seen him for many years, and finally reunited.
The heart said, NB is awesome, you can be so familiar with it when you meet for the first time, and the skills of this face are really bad for them!
Zhuang Jianye didn't have time to think what Gu Jingyou and the others thought, and after meeting Abdullah and Mahmood, they sat down separately, as the liaison in the middle (can also be called an intermediary) Zarif naturally warmed up: "Zhuang, this time we have used a lot of products produced by your Tengfei Group in response to the air harassment in New Delhi, and the two Highnesses Abdullah and Mahmoud are very interested in this, especially the TZB-2000 UAV early warning aircraft and JZB- The 119 advanced trainer wants to do a more in-depth understanding from you. ”
"Advanced trainers?"
As soon as Zarif finished speaking, before Zhuang Jianye could speak, Mahmoud showed a trace of irrepressible surprise, not only him, but Abdullah's face was also covered with a touch of confusion.
You must know that on the TZB-2000 UAV early warning aircraft comprehensive display of the Karachi underground air defense command center, two JZB-119s were seen unscrupulously playing the whole process of eight Su-30 and one Il-76, and both Mahmoud and Abdullah thought that the two planes sent by Pakistan were authentic combat planes.
Naturally, I was very impressed.
No way, who made them not clear about the facts of this batch of New Delhi Su-30s, and thought that two JZB-119s had turned the world's most prestigious heavy fighters into stupid geese.
Whether it's a chase or a climb, whether it's a small radius turn or a high-freedom roll.
In front of JZB-119, the Su-30 was like a bad old man who had been hollowed out by wine, and finally made the following feel a little, but found that the real knife and real gun were still inadequate, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.
You must know that with the status and experience of Abdullah and Mahmoud, there are many manufacturers who sell combat aircraft to them, and almost all manufacturers will say that their products punch the F-15 and step on the Su-30.
But it was the first time that they really saw an aircraft that could turn the Su-30 around in actual combat, but they didn't dare to go beyond the slightest, so they could only obediently admit it and return home.
That's pretty good.
You must know that in the mainstream impression of the world's air force, it is difficult for light fighters to compete with the heavy fighters piled up by the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, with huge amounts of money.
If this were not the case, the world's major military powers would not have engaged in any high-low combination of heavy fighters and light fighters, and using all kinds of fighters would reduce costs and maintain combat effectiveness, which would be no more fragrant than getting two kinds of fighters.
The problem is that both test verification and real confrontation show that heavy fighters are stronger than light fighters.
The most recent combat test was the air battle between Ethiopia and Eritrea, the Su-27 VS MiG-29, and the Su-27 won completely, which once again set off a frenzy of public opinion that heavy fighters are superior to light fighters.
However, all these seemingly deep-rooted ideas were completely upended in the just-concluded air confrontation between Pakistan and New Delhi.
Because the Su-30MKI of the heavy machine had nothing to do with the JZB-119, and could only watch the two JZB-119s show off their skills.
That is, in the usual air dispersal operation, if it is on the real battlefield, the Su-30MKI may be beaten down by the JZB-119 in one shot.
This was not only a shock for Abdullah and Mahmood, but also an irrepressible joy, because they saw from the JZB-119 that it cost the least money, but had the possibility of fighting as much as an aviation power.
After all, not all countries can afford to play heavy fighters like the F-15 or Su-30.
Not only because such heavy machines are expensive, but more importantly, they are too expensive, and the most important thing is that the level of maintenance is particularly tested, because of this, don't look at the UAE and Algeria rely on oil to have two money in their hands, but once they jump into the deep pit of heavy aircraft, they can't stand the toss at all.
However, the light aircraft cannot compete with the heavy aircraft, after all, there is a country called Israel in the Middle East, equipped with a lot of F-15, although the UAE and Algeria are some distance from Israel, but they cannot but consider the relevant technical issues, what if the Arab world once again forms a coalition to crusade against the infidels of Israel?
Therefore, a light combat aircraft that can compete with heavy aircraft has become the first choice for the two countries.
However, there are no similar aircraft in the international aviation market today, and I thought that it would take five or ten years for it to appear, but I did not expect the JZB-119 to suddenly come out, completely subverting the existing air combat thinking, and becoming the brightest boy in the eyes of Abdullah and Mahmood.
turned out to find that the real identity of this beautiful boy was not a fighter jet, but a senior trainer aircraft, just like a domineering president, but just the identity of a security guard, which made the two Middle Eastern Highnesses stunned!
