"We are the best air show team in the world, there is no one!" Thomson said seriously, "As for the non-performance maneuvers, we all have far more fun than Chinese pilots who may not be able to fly more than 1,000 in a lifetime before typing the Thunderbird!"

The Chinese Air Force is backward in equipment and has a serious shortage of fighters, as the whole world knows.

A fighter plane often has several pilots.

Whether it is the cost of flights or other things, the Chinese Air Force, whose annual national military expenditure is not even a fraction of the US defense budget, cannot support it at all.

Dog fighting in the air, with advanced fighters, is showcased, more thrilling and exciting!

"Captain, we're ...... the aerobatic team," said one of the captain's pilots worriedly.

In particular, the performance of the F-16/79 fighters they use now is far less detailed than the standard F-16 that is standard with the performance team.

"Horn, we must do this! Neither the dignity of the country nor the honor of the Thunderbirds squadron can be lost in China!" Since Jonathan asked them to save the honor of the Thunderbirds squadron and maintain the dignity of the country, they cannot let them fail to act.

Even if it was a powerful opponent like the Soviet Union, they would not care, let alone a backward country like China.

And now the situation is that if they had been hit by Soviet pilots, they would not have been so excited.

The problem is that the powerful US equipment in front of us is known to the whole world that the Air Force is backward in equipment, and it has to ask the US fighter design unit to help improve the design of the fighter A new type of Chinese fighter has been crushed.

That's right.

Crushing.

Soon, the American pilots, who had made the decision, climbed into their respective fighter planes, and after getting the signal from the tower to fly, one after another, they quickly rushed into the sky.

The audience has been looking forward to the world's most technologically advanced Thunderbird performance squadron to bring them even more thrilling aerial performances.

Just the Chinese fighter team that added to the fun made everyone's heart almost stop beating three times in a row, and the experienced Thunderbird performance team naturally couldn't be worse than the domestic fighter performance, right?

The United States does not know how much stronger it is than China.

It is also because of understanding the minds of Chinese audiences that the Thunderbird Flying Team was forced to make the decision to stage an aerial dog fight to regain the honor.

From the moment the first fighter plane of the Thunderbird Air Show Team took off, Xie Kai has been staring at these fighters.

In Pakistan, the Americans did not allow them to get close to the F-16s, and even caused the Soviets to fight with the Americans.

Although he now knows that these fighters are not standard F-16s, but just garbage F-16/79s with greatly reduced performance, he still envies the industrial design and manufacturing capabilities of the Americans, who are not very backward in making fighters at will.

Twenty years later, China will not even be as good as the United States now in some areas.

There is no way, people have the stimulation of the Soviet Union, plus during World War II, they almost absorbed most of the world's outstanding scientists, and even robbed the golden finger, and engaged in black technology at every turn, many technologies belong to German scientists and technical data that have been injured around the world.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been technologically blockaded by European and American countries.

Although the big brother of the Soviet Union agreed to help build the industrial base, it was not for free, especially if they later wanted to make China their vassal state, which was naturally impossible.

So, the Soviet expert group withdrew.

The intimacy of the Davari clan changed after the withdrawal of the Soviet expert group.

Even, in order to force the backward new China to follow them by force, the big brother of the Soviet Union mobilized nearly 100 full-fledged divisions to arrange them on one side of the defense line, and used tank troops to attack the national border at every turn, so that in the end, a passionate collision beyond friendship took place on a small island called Zhenbao Island in the northeast......

China's military industry was slowly built up in such an environment.

"It's like a mirror!" Mozi's whispered exclamation pulled Xie Kai back to reality.

Looking at the sky, the six red, white and blue F-16/79s were actually divided into three groups, two in each group, maintaining the same speed and different altitudes, the fighters above flew horizontally, and the fighters below the belly flew upside down and advanced at the same time.

None of these fighters are slow.

What a!

Xie Kai scolded in his heart, but he had to admire, what was being staged now was one of the top events of the Thunderbird Flying Show Team that he had seen on the Internet but had not seen with his own eyes - the two planes were reversed.

As soon as it came up, it was a top-level project, and the two fighters in each group were almost like reflections in the mirror.

The nose and tail are the same.

This can be done by the Super 7A, but the pilots are not a professional performance team, and it is absolutely impossible to make it so good-looking.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

General Zhang saw that the Thunderbird Flying Team was a top-level project as soon as it came up, and took the initiative to take the lead in applauding.

Such a flight can also be made by domestic fighters, but it does not have actual combat significance, and even the Air Force escort performance team piloting the Jianjiao-5 can also do it.

However, these are not regular air show events.

"I'd like to see what else they can do!" Xie Kai took a moment's time.

It was such an appetizer at first, and even the most basic high-level formation, the Thunderbird performance team, was no longer staged, and Xie Kai was looking forward to it.

The fighter is not a good fighter, but the pilot skills of the Thunderbird, there is absolutely nothing to say.

Even if Xie Kai didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it.

What Xie Kai didn't expect was that Thunderbird was indeed ruthless.

After one positive and one reversed, they flew in a straight line directly from the distance, and the farther they flew forward, the smaller the spacing between each fighter plane, and finally, they formed a column, and the nose of each fighter plane was on top of the other, and the six fighters seemed to have only one nose and six pairs of wings.

If it was just that, Xie Kai wouldn't say that he was shocked.

Because of the six F-16/79s of the Thunderbird, all of them fly sideways.

Just to show it to the audience on the ground!

"The Thunderbird really lives up to its name. Long Yaohua, who was sitting next to Xie Kai, had to sigh.

"It's natural, they are a professional performance team for decades, and the performance equipment has always been state-of-the-art. Plus their pilots are all elite ...... among the elite," Li Mingshan's tone was a little sour.

For the pilots of the United States and the Soviet Union, this is the most envy of Chinese pilots.

People have money.

With hundreds of billions of dollars a year, pilots fly as they please.

"When our country's economy develops, our pilots will be better than them. Xie Kai's heart was also sour.

The troops need to be patient, the military has no money, everything has to make way for economic construction.

It's already very good for an Air Force pilot to fly one or twenty hours a month.

For example, the basic requirement for selection is 1,000 hours of jet fighter flight experience, which is not accessible to pilots who fly transport planes, helicopters or propeller aircraft.

The advantages of others have to be recognized.

"It's better on your side, pilots can fly casually, regardless ......of cost," Li Mingshan said, "It's just a pity that these pilots are not from the Air Force." ”

"Chief, you don't mean what you say. Those pilots are all from the retired pilots in China......" Xie Kai looked unhappy.

The test pilot of the flight super-7A does not belong to the Air Force.

Otherwise, their plan will not be reported and approved by their superiors, and it will not work at all.

Air Force pilots who make the slightest dangerous maneuver will be warned that the country is poor and the Air Force is underfunded, and that if they cannot buy a few new fighters a year, the Air Force will lose one if they lose one.

It's not easy for the Air Force to save some money.

The most advanced third- and fourth-generation fighters are hundreds or thousands of fighters at every turn, and the J-7 and J-8 of the Chinese Air Force will not exceed 400 now.

"Let's watch the Thunderbird show. Long Yaohua looked at General Zhang in front of him, turned his head and glared at Xie Kai.

Sitting behind the Minister of Defense, they are still running the train with their mouths full.

Can you say that?

The six F-16/79s of the Thunderbird performance team in the air were flying in a diamond-shaped formation at this time, and when Xie Kai looked up, two fighters happened to break away from the formation on the left and right, and the six fighters pulled smoke at the same time......

The applause continued, and so did the applause.

The audience always felt that something was missing, although the flight show was wonderful, but it was not as good as after the debut of China's new fighter just now, although the performance was not so coquettish and wonderful, but it made people so nervous that their hearts stopped beating and their breathing stopped......

Even the Americans in the audience found it boring.

Capers didn't have anything to do.

"It's almost over. "The Secretary of Defense couldn't ask Jonathan directly, he just turned his head and asked the time.

Jonathan nodded, "The best is about to happen." ”

Hearing this, Capers also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there is still a plan, and there will be no shame.

The six F-16/79s flying in the air formation dispersed in the formation after the two fighters broke away from the diamond formation, and at the same time, the two fighters that had just left also turned around and flew from not far away......

"Dog fight?" Xie Kai couldn't help but shout in surprise when he saw the fighters in the air suddenly change formation. "Won't you fly lower?"

Before they finished speaking, they had already begun to entangle, and several fighters that made various big maneuvers dazzle the audience were all lowering their altitudes in the chase.

In particular, these maneuvers and the smoke of the fighter plane draw the trajectory, which makes the audience on the ground enthusiastic.

From time to time, when I saw one fighter plane about to collide with another, and I was so nervous that my heart was about to stop beating and I didn't dare to catch my breath, the two fighters staggered like this.

"Oh my God!

Suddenly, when the four fighters were entangled, the two fighters were using the tactics of hearts, staggering past and preparing to exchange targets, and one fighter plane fell straight to the ground......

"No, it must have been intentional by the pilot!"

No one thought it was a crash anymore.

The thrilling performances of the Chinese pilots before scared everyone so much that they couldn't breathe many times......

"Bang!" When there were still hundreds of meters above the ground, the pilot of the fallen fighter plane ejected......

"Boom!" a flash of fire flashed on the grass next to the airport runway, and a violent explosion rang out......

The entire auditorium, everyone was blinded!
