916 The Thunderbirds, who are forced to hurry, want to play low-altitude dogfights for honor

"Impossible? Mr. Colonel, this fighter is flying in front of everyone's eyes, and we designed and manufactured it ourselves in China, could it be that you helped us design it?" Xie Kai sneered.

Is this a tease invited by a monkey?

The reality is in front of me, and I am still shouting loudly that it is impossible.

"Is this really a fighter designed by ourselves?" Commander Wang burst into tears.

With such an advanced fighter, what else to buy?

The Air Force has to be equipped with such fighters!

"Except for the engine, which was imported from the Soviet Union, everything is domestic! From design to production, there is no foreign technology!" Zheng Yucheng stood up in a smug manner. "Mr. Secretary of Defense, it's your turn now. ”

Zheng Yucheng can't help but be stricken.

This is the time to give the entire country's military industry a boost in face.

The Super 7A has a lot of flaws, such as short range, small combat radius, small bomb load, and so on.

So what?

It's just a trainer!

Trainer!

Capers looked at the colonel beside him, who was silent.

They know better than anyone that the Thunderbird Air Show Brigade is in such a situation, and it is impossible to reverse the situation by flying a reduced fighter with poor performance such as the F-16/79.

A lot of top projects can't be done.

Learn from Chinese pilots and play this low-altitude maneuver?

It is estimated that the pilot has not yet reached the altitude, and he will have to eject first.

"The F-16 is known for its low-altitude maneuverability, and our fighter design has not much experience and still has a lot of flaws. Mr. Colonel, our technicians are very much looking forward to learning from you. Let the world's best Thunderbird Flying Team show them the world's best single-engine fighter and excellent fighting ability. "Xie Kai is completely aggressive.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Americans to get back on the field.

In the current situation, such a project as one advance and one exit through the field can no longer attract people's attention and make people feel thrilling.

"This is a very poor fighter design, not even a fighter, just a training aircraft. Advanced American fighters should be even more superior in performance......"

It's just that the performance has raised the face of China's military industry, and Xie Kai is not satisfied.

"Okay, what does this look like!" General Zhang was very dissatisfied with Xie Kai's behavior.

Commander Wang also hurriedly added, "The technology of the United States is much more advanced than ours! Their fighters should have had this kind of performance for a long time! People don't look down on you at all, and you are still here to worry! Otherwise, how can we need the United States to help us improve the design of the J-8II?"

That's pretty much it.

It's a complete show of face today, and Americans are all deflated now!

This kid is good, I don't know if I can accept it when I see it, this fighter is really so advanced, can the Air Force still lack fighters?

Ginger is old and spicy.

General Zhang has a detailed understanding of the technical performance level of domestic fighters, although the Super 7A shows very good low-altitude maneuverability, but it cannot cover up the flaws of the fighter design itself.

The aerodynamic layout of the canard wing was originally adopted in a way that could effectively increase the lift of the fighter because of the insufficient power system.

The powertrain is still an issue, and if it's really in real combat, who will give it a chance to fight in close quarters?

In the new era of air combat, when radar and fire control systems are becoming more and more important, it is enough to discover the opponent's fighter from afar, drop the actively guided air-to-air missile, and then watch the target be killed from a distance.

Such maneuverability, that is, missiles used to evade pursuit, may be of some use.

Xie Kai saw that the big guy had spoken, so he stopped talking, and sat in his position honestly, looking at the silent US Secretary of Defense.

Capers looked at Commander Wang and them, originally wanted these Chinese military high-ranking officials to help him out of the siege, but when he saw the expressions on their faces, he mistakenly thought that these Chinese military high-ranking people wanted to see their jokes, and immediately felt unhappy, and said to the colonel beside him, "Let Kamal and they must find a way to reverse the situation!"

But when he heard Commander Wang's show-off words, he immediately changed his mind.

This is already a matter of national dignity.

Although it is said that fighters such as F-16/79 are not as good as F-16 equipped with turbofan engines, produced by the United States, originally to sell to customers, and can usually exceed 80% of the technical performance indicators of F-16, and even surpass F-16 in terms of speed.

You know, China can't even build a turbofan engine.

The colonel was also aware of the seriousness of the matter, and if it really could not be reversed, it would even affect the export of the standard version of the F-16.

At present, many countries are preparing to purchase the American F-16.

"What can we do about it?" Colonel Jonathan, what do you think we can do now?" Looking at Jonathan, Kamal wanted to punch the bastard to death.

Relying on his strategic analysis department, which specializes in Asian strategy, he also has a deep background in GM.

Since the beginning of the country, it has constantly lobbied all sides, saying that China does not have advanced fighters, and only needs to use fighters like the F-16/79 to shock the top brass of the Chinese Air Force who have never seen advanced fighters, and then China will also become a consumer of weapons and equipment from the United States.

Now, they've taken out the stuff at the bottom of the box.

Such a thrilling action, Kamal thought that he could also do it, but it was absolutely impossible to achieve such a smooth and neat Chinese.

Cobra maneuvering, if it is a standard version of the F-16, it can be barely done, and several at the same time are really not good.

As for the F-16/79, which has more than a ton of heat shields stuffed into the buttocks, the thrust itself is insufficient, and it is almost impossible.

"Lieutenant Colonel, pay attention to your words, now is the time for you to fight for the honor of the United States of America!" Jonathan said with a straight face!

Kamal simply ignored him.

Several other pilots of the Thunderbird performance team also looked like fools.

"Colonel, Colonel Alex was just like you at the beginning, analyzing that China simply did not have a fighter plane that could catch up with us in a certain aspect...... And now, what are you doing all day, what are you doing with taxpayers' money?"

If it were Cappers, the Secretary of Defense, he wouldn't have said anything.

For so-called strategic analysts like Jonathan and Alex, who don't know anything about China, Kamal doesn't give face at all.

The Thunderbird Flying Squadron, since its establishment in June 1953, has performed more than 2,500 official performances, and has never been so difficult as it is today.

It's not that they can't put on a good show, it's that the fighters are not strong enough to perform some thrilling maneuvers.

Originally, according to the planned performance, even if the Thunderbird squadron was an ordinary performance, no matter how exciting the Chinese fighter show was, at least the Thunderbird squadron could save face, and many wonderful performances could not be staged one by one because of time, right?

Now it's good, as soon as the Chinese's fighters appear, they can't surpass them with any moves.

Playing these actions played by Chinese pilots, even if they are successful, others will think that it is normal, the Thunderbird squadron with the most superior fighter performance and the most advanced technology in air performance should do what it should do.

But once there is a mistake......

"You!" Jonathan was so angry that he couldn't say anything.

The Chinese fighter planes participating in the show have long since been withdrawn.

None of the audience expected that they just wanted to see the performance of the world's most advanced fighters, but the domestic fighters staged a thrilling performance that subverted their imagination and told them that it was not China that was inferior to Western countries.

Seeing that the Chinese fighters had left the scene for several minutes, but the planes of the American Thunderbirds, the world's most famous Thunderbirds, had not moved, the audience began to whisper for a while.

Such a situation is a complete disgrace to the US government.

You must know that the United States is a superpower that makes the world tremble when it stomps its feet and makes the powerful Soviet Union wrestle its wrists.

Looking towards the fighter parking area, Kamal and the others had not yet boarded the fighter, and Capus's face became more and more gloomy.

"Captain, we have to take off. One of the majors looked at Kamal, "For the sake of our honor, for the sake of the dignity of our country, we must all take off!"

"Major Thomson, I understand! But we can't turn the tide in such a situation, no matter what!" Kamal naturally understood what a bad effect it would have on the country if it was delayed now.

"It's not impossible. "Although they showed good low-altitude maneuverability, it was clearly intended for us to show greater low-altitude maneuverability......

Several other pilots stared at Major Thomson, expecting his proposal.

"Dog fight! Low altitude dog fight! Only in this way can we save face. Thomson offered his advice.

Kamal didn't think the plan would save them their honor.

They don't have an innovative maneuver that demonstrates the maneuverability of a fighter better than China's super-maneuverable maneuver.

"Although dogfighting became less important after the use of missiles in air combat, pilots in every country had to go through such training for a long time......," Major Thomson said.

Since the First World War fighter was used in the war, pilots had relevant tactics and training in order to shoot down enemy planes or pose a threat to enemy planes and seize advantageous positions, until the World War II period developed to its peak.

Later, the use of missiles and radar allowed fighters to fire outside the line of sight, and the air forces of various countries did not give up on such training, but became more important.

In order to evade missile attacks, it is necessary to have a faster and agile reaction ability, which is the most important training method to train the reaction ability of pilots.

"Low-altitude dogfight?"

"Yes, only in this way can we avoid the disadvantage of our fighters......," Thomson said, "and the confrontation of multiple planes will be even more thrilling! They are not a professional air show team, so we can't use the show plan ......."
