Chapter 920 The Air Force wants to buy the Super -7A?

"This ......"

Xie Kai thought it was incredible, although the F-16/79 was rubbish, it wouldn't fall like this just like a dogfight, right?

Don't say that the Americans themselves don't believe it, Xie Kai definitely won't believe it.

"Do they think it's impossible to sell fighter planes to us, and they're ready to sell the catapult system to China?" Xie Kai looked at the cockpit that had been successfully ejected in the distance, and suddenly came up with such a strange idea.

Not far away, the ground crew was dragging fire extinguishing equipment towards the fighter plane that was burning after the explosion in the distance, and the fire truck parked at the airport also moved away quickly.

Everything happened so fast that almost no one understood what was really going on.

Several fighters in the air obviously discovered this situation, and the remaining fighters of the experienced Thunderbird performance team hurriedly pulled up the altitude, stopped fighting, and even began to prepare for landing.

What happened?

Only the pilot in question knew best with Kamal, who was in the team with him.

Just now, in order to show the maneuverability of the F-16/79, they played dog fighting, twin-to-twin, and adopted the tactics of hearts, and at the moment when they were about to make contact, the fighter plane piloted by Kamal flew away with another fighter plane in both directions, and staggered behind the two fighters that came over and was ready to exchange targets, and at the moment when they staggered, the pilot of the fallen fighter forgot that he was flying an F-16/79, and the driving habits he had developed over the years made him instinctively operate in accordance with the standard F-16...... The thrust was already insufficient, and a heat shield of more than a ton was added to the tail, and the speed of the fighter was too low and it entered a stall state......

At a low altitude of two or three hundred meters, the fighter stalled, and it was almost impossible to control the attitude and regain momentum.

So, the fighter plane could only fall like this.

The cockpit of the standard F-16 is not much different from the F-16/79, but because the F-16/79 is a reduced version, it does not have the same level of automation as the F-16.

As the first fighter in the United States that can withstand 9G overload maneuvering, the safety performance is naturally very high. In particular, some limbic systems have set up an alarm system in the fighter control system to force intervention, for example, to limit the pilot from flying out of excessive elevation angles. Unless the restriction is lifted or the pilot still enforces the operation after the fighter system alarm, there will be a human failure.

Mechanical failure?

That's impossible, as a show team of fighters, each F-16 is equipped with a ground crew, all the pilots in it are from the United States Air Force or naval aviation units of the most skilled personnel, once there is a problem, it will be solved immediately, can not be quickly solved, will also be replaced by a spare aircraft.

Therefore, in the end, the F-16/79 crashed during the performance because the pilots were not very familiar with this garbage fighter with the name F-16, but it was actually another fighter......

The people in the audience had to believe that this was the case until they saw the fire truck in the distance start to extinguish the fire.

The American fighter plane crashed during the show.

"If it were a standard F-16, such an accident should not have happened. Xie Kai sighed.

It stands to reason that the American fighter plane fell during the show, and he should be happy.

Now he was not happy at all.

It's a big deal.

If it weren't for their excessive persecution, the Americans wouldn't have played like this, would they?

Or is Xie Kai regretful that he didn't see that the F-16/79 has insufficient thrust and the lift of the aerodynamic layout is not as big as a canard to force a cobra maneuver?

The excitement on the faces of the Americans can be imagined.

Originally, it was intended to let the leaders of the Chinese Air Force have a long insight and let them accept this "excellent" fighter as the main equipment of the Chinese Air Force.

Now, it is true that the leaders of the Chinese Air Force have seen the fall of such fighters for a long time.

In the event of a crash, the performance naturally had to be suspended, the audience was evacuated, and there was no activity for pilots to take pictures and sign autographs with the audience after the Thunderbird Air Show Team ended.

"Chief, as the 404 kid said, this kind of fighter is indeed garbage, and its maneuverability is not very good. Commander Wang saw that Capers and the others left in a hurry, and did not let them accompany him, and said to Minister Zhang.

As soon as Minister Zhang saw his expression, he knew what he wanted to do, "You want the super-7A?"

"The maneuverability of that fighter is really good. Although the range is almost nothing, it can be used to train our elite pilots. Commander Wang smiled, "I heard that this thing is not expensive, it is only 10 million US dollars to sell a plane to the Egyptians, we will use it ourselves, according to their habits, it will be 10 million yuan, at most more than 10 million ......."

"But they said that they would not sell it to the Air Force. Minister Zhang reminded with a smile, "When I first looked for you, you didn't even look at you. ”

"Who knew it would have such excellent maneuverability. The Air Force has little money, and every penny has to be used wisely. Commander Wang didn't feel embarrassed at all.

They can't be blamed for that.

Whoever makes the national budget so small every year to feed millions of troops and many military industrial units will not have much money to spend on updating equipment.

I have always refused to accept the sales pitch of the Americans, and I don't want the F-16/79 they sell, at the beginning, it was indeed not because of the performance of this fighter, but because there was no money!

Later, the Americans did not give up, continued to sell, learned more, and with the performance comparison of the standard F-16, they found that the F-16/79 equipped with turbojet engines did not perform at the same level, and it was about the same level as the domestic J-8II.

There is the same in China, who is so stupid if you have to spend a high price on imports?

"It's useless for you to look for 404, those old guys wish we were all begging them. When they evacuated the 404 scientific research unit, they made a lot of trouble. Turning his head to look at Zheng Yucheng and the others who were not far away with a look of shame, who were bragging about how good their Super -7A was with the aircraft designers of several other units, General Zhang sighed.

Commander Wang naturally knows the inside story.

Originally, the Air Force also had scientific research units in 404, and the Air Force was the first to evacuate.

"Then we'll have to find them. "In order for the Air Force to have a good fighter to use, Commander Wang felt that even if he listened to Zheng Yucheng's old guy, he had to talk to them.

"No, you look for their kid. The old guys listened to him. General Zhang turned his head to search for Xie Kai's figure, and found that this kid had already run to the parking position next to him.

With a finger, Commander Wang hurriedly ran over.

Xie Kai, this kid, they all know, but the superiors didn't interfere with him too much in order to prevent the young man from cocking his tail.

Otherwise, the old man would have met this kid.

In just two or three years, more than $20 billion has been spent on the military industrial system, and it is still foreign exchange, and the state does not have so much foreign exchange balance in a year!

Xie Kai didn't stay at the airport too much, he was afraid that General Zhang would settle accounts with him, so he secretly prepared to leave.

Before he got into the car, he was stopped by Commander Wang.

"Do you want to leave like this?" Commander Wang looked at Xie Kai with a smirk.

Xie Kai hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "Chief, I'm in a hurry, go to the toilet." ”

"There are no toilets at the airport?" Commander Wang looked at Xie Kai with a look of contempt, "You caused something and forced everyone to fall off the plane, and you couldn't hold your face, so you want to leave quietly like this?"

Hearing this, Xie Kai was immediately unhappy, "Chief, how can the Americans blame us for crashing their own planes?

The F-16/79 was meant to be rubbish.

"Besides, the performance is not good, I still don't admit it, what is there if I admit it, anyway, they are a garbage fighter with a strong reduction, in order to limit the performance, they also install a heat shield of more than a ton on the tail of the aircraft, and the entire fighter is only a few tons in weight......" Xie Kai found that something was wrong after speaking, he didn't need to explain, he looked at Commander Wang with a look of anticipation and continued, and immediately knew his intention, "Chief, please instruct if you have any orders!"

The commander of the Air Force is looking for himself, and he is definitely not looking for it to help the Americans, right?

Not to mention that it was not Xie Kai who caused the American fighter plane to crash, even if he got it down, without evidence, his superiors would not trouble him.

"There are no commands, and there are no instructions. I heard that from the very beginning, you said that your Super 7A will not be sold to the Air Force?" Commander Wang's tone was a little angry.

Even if there is still a smile on his face.

And so it was.

The Air Force wants the Super-7A.

From the very beginning, Xie Kai never thought of providing a fighter like the Super 7A to the Air Force to squeeze out the Air Force's already small funds.

Whether it is the J-7 or the J-8, although it has fallen behind, the production unit needs orders from the Air Force to upgrade the fighter production line, improve the design to accumulate design experience, and train the team.

"Chief, at the beginning of the research and development, it was unanimously approved not to be sold to the Air Force. Xie Kai nodded in acknowledgement.

Commander Wang didn't expect Xie Kai to hide it at all.

It's not in style.

Xie Kai's direct answer made it impossible for Commander Wang to say what he had prepared.

"Why? I think the Air Force is poor and I don't have any money for you?" Commander Wang was a little angry.

Those equipment suppliers abroad dislike it, which is understandable.

The domestic military-industrial system refuses to sell fighters to the Air Force for such reasons, who can not be angry?

Seeing that Commander Wang was angry, Xie Kai hurriedly explained, "Chief, don't be angry first, listen to my explanation." The reason why it is not sold to the Air Force Super -7A is because this fighter was originally made for export, and the positioning from the beginning determines that this fighter has little potential for improvement...... Although the J-7 and J-8 are backward, they are mature domestic main equipment. Although the performance of the Super-7A is very good, there are still many flaws......"

It's not an outsider anyway.

The super 7A, a simple light fighter, can only be used as a high-level training aircraft.

Sold to the Air Force as a high-level training aircraft, Xie Kai felt that it was a bit excessive.

The Super -7B, which has a similar aerodynamic layout in appearance, stronger performance, and superior avionics system and radar system, is for the Air Force.

The troops of our own country must be used better.

"Just tell me, how much do you want to sell. As long as the funds allow, we will not lower the price too much! You are self-funded......" Commander Wang obviously thought that Xie Kai was unwilling to provide the Air Force Super -7A because the profit was too low.
