Under the flapping of the powerful butterfly wings, not only the Republic side has changed, but even the United States side has also changed accordingly, and it seems that there will be a lot of interesting things to follow in the future, which is probably the time that the reborn are most afraid of, and it is also the time when they are most looking forward to!

After figuring out the latest movements of the U.S. Navy, no matter what the future holds, at least now the heart is settled, although the Super Tomcat is much stronger than the Super Hornet in terms of performance, but the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, the top priority is to complete the projected project as soon as possible is the most important.

Although there is still some time before the first flight of the J-18, the southwest of AVIC is still happy at this time, because after the Guifei company moved to the newly built aviation industrial park in Guiyang, the first six of the second batch of JF-17 lightning fighters will be delivered to the combat troops after rigorous factory test flights.

At this important moment, Yang Hui must be the first to be present, and now the army has high expectations for the service report of Lightning, and the troops who came to receive the fighter this time are also very sensitive, and it is said that the combat units stationed on the front line of the Taiwan Strait are the first to be equipped with this fighter.

In the fiery August, although the sun is already baking the airport, it still can't stop the completion of a special event on this special day.

As far as the eye can see, there are a total of six lightning fighters on the tarmac, although the livery is still so unsatisfactory, but this is already the result of Yang Hui's efforts in many ways, otherwise according to the Air Force's J-7 J-8 livery, I don't know what the lightning will look like, and the current lightning is at least enjoying the same livery as the Su-27 that was delivered to the Republic in the first batch, so it is relatively pleasing to the eye.

In the face of the division commander who came to pick up the plane this time, Yang Hui made a guarantee: "This is the first batch of lightning delivered to the combat troops, and our staff will always follow and be stationed at your base to solve all kinds of possible emergencies at any time, until the accident stage of the bathtub curve is high, and the performance is stable, you will not evacuate, so you can fly boldly with confidence." ”

Yang Hui already knew why the Air Force had to go against the norm and transfer a fighter like the Lightning, which had just been put into service and whose performance had not yet stabilized, to the front line, but after the two sides communicated effectively, the approximate reasons were actually clear.

The unit that came to pick up the plane this time was a certain unit of the 35th Division stationed on the front line in the Taiwan Strait, and they wanted to equip a model that could confront the two fighters of the Mirage 2000 and the IDF that were about to enter service on the other side of the strait.

The commander of the 35th Division saw the lightning this time, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and he was still annoyed that he had not won the J-75 fighter, but now he was equipped with a more advanced JF-17 fighter in the blink of an eye, what else could not be satisfied with?

"General Manager Yang, this time we can finally be equipped with world-class fighters, and I must thank you comrades who work on the military front. This time the purchase of the Mirage 2000 across the Strait, we were originally quite stressed. But now, in this Egyptian bidding project, the Lightning was able to beat the Mirage 2000 and F-16 fighters to the last laugh, which at least shows that the Lightning is a fighter that can compete with the Mirage 2000, and this time it depends on how the strait will respond. ”

How to deal with it? Yang Hui just shook his head and remained silent about such a question, and now he has purchased a Mirage 2000-5 fighter, although on the surface it seems that Lightning can match it. But really calculated, the domestic army is hindered by the limitation of military spending, and the low-profile entry-level lightning purchased may be able to suppress the early version of the Phantom 2000, but it may be difficult to deal with the high-end version of the Phantom 2000-5 series.

What's more, the United States will soon lift the ban on arms sales to the bend, so there is reason to believe that due to the current increase in the military strength of the republic, the F-16A sold by the last one may become a C type by this time, and it may be really difficult to use the entry-level lightning to deal with these guys, unless

"For the other side of the channel! This time France can sell the Mirage 2000-5 to the other side under the pretext that they lost the Egyptian order and for the survival of Dassault, then the American General Dynamics Company, which also participated in the previous Egyptian bidding project, will definitely follow the same example, and soon we will be able to see the news of the purchase of F-16C fighters on the other side, and to fight against the F-16C this tricky fighter. I'm not afraid to tell the truth, even if the lightning that uses fly-by-wire flight control can't guarantee that it will definitely gain the upper hand, and the only thing that can be countered in China at present is the No. 10 machine that is still in the test flight of 611. ”

In any case, if you want to confront the F-16C head-on, that is, the No. 10 machine of the same level is the most suitable, Yang Hui at this time must of course seek truth from facts, and it is impossible to tout lightning infinitely because lightning is operated by himself and watched it grow up, so it is not beneficial to anyone.

For China, the Lightning is now a low-cost third-generation aircraft, a fighter used to maintain a large team size, and to pursue the quality of fighter performance, it ultimately depends on the tenth, eighteenth, and 27 aircraft from the north.

As soon as I heard Yang Hui's words, of course I was quite surprised, and it really took a lot of courage to be able to say such things at this time: "This is a very objective evaluation, and the United States is indeed very likely to sell F-16C to Taiwan as you mentioned, and we have received rumors of this recently, as for how to fight it, No. 10 is indeed a very suitable choice, I believe that at the current speed of No. 10, it will be almost finalized in about three years. When the time comes, it doesn't matter what Mirage 2000-5 or F-16C it is, we don't have to worry about it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a message came from the airport, saying that the pre-departure inspection had been completed and he could take off. There were no big red flowers hanging on the nose of the six Lightnings, only a total of three large-capacity low-resistance auxiliary fuel tanks under the wings and under the belly, as well as the large open cockpit canopy and boarding ladder, all of which indicated that the six fighters were ready to take off.

"Mr. Yang, I won't say much, there are still more than 1,000 kilometers to fly from here to our station, this time the pick-up came in a hurry, the pilots in my entire division who have received modification training plus me are only a total of six people, today I personally led the team to marry Lightning and go home."

Every time a fighter is delivered, it is a festive moment, especially when the first batch of new models are delivered to combat units, which is even more lively, and it is also because of the emergency situation on the other side of the strait this time that everything is simple, but this is not bad.

Sending the group to the side of the fighters, Yang Hui looked at the six fighters again, and then accompanied the pilot to walk around for the final inspection, and then the division commander personally signed to receive the fighters.

Seeing that the situation was done, he corrected: "I can't say that I am married, Lightning is joining the army today, and we can personally hand it over to you, the division commander, we are all relieved!" ”

After speaking, Yang Hui first turned to leave, and then heard the familiar sound of the turbofan 10 engine, and then it became farther and smaller, which meant that they were far away

On August 1, 1992, the JF-17 Lightning fighter joined the army on this special day, and more Blitzers are still under construction on the production line, and it is expected that in the remaining months of the year, six more will also go off the production line one after another!
