"A group of self-righteous guys......" Vincent snorted coldly and pursed his lips disdainfully: "Don't those politicians feel that they have become more and more unsightly and ambitious?" If you continue to indulge, you will only shoot yourself in the foot! ”

"General, watch the tone of your voice!" The chief of staff of the Air Force turned pale and said in a much louder voice: "This is the greatest guarantee for us to maintain our technological superiority in the next century, and this is our army's long-term strategy, and you are not qualified to question it." ”

"Understood!" Vincent's eyes were full of unwillingness, but he could only raise his hand helplessly and salute: "I will do my duty." ”

"That's good!" The Chief of Staff of the Air Force nodded slightly.

At this time, a take-off signal was also heard outside, and the test officially began, and the drones of both sides could take off.

This signal also attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked out the window, and on the runway below, the engines of the two drones started at the same time, and they erupted into a dull roar.

I have done so much, waiting for this last one, everyone is watching intently, and the atmosphere does not dare to come out.

The test was about to start, and Chen Chen didn't bother to entangle with Thomas, waiting for the test process with peace of mind.

Below, the engines of the two drones roared louder and louder, and blue flames erupted from the vents at the same time, the difference was that the Falcon sprayed the flames backwards, while the Pegasus sprayed the flames downward.

This anomaly immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"That...... Could it be ......?"

Without waiting for them to exclaim, the facts immediately gave the answer!

As soon as the take-off signal was given, the falcon immediately began to glide forward, faster and faster, while on the other side, Pegasus had no intention of sliding forward at all, and immediately held up the huge fuselage with the strong air flow from the flames, and floated towards mid-air.

After reaching a certain height, the vent twists backwards, and then shoots out even more dazzling flames, pulling a strong air current, pushing the drone straight into the air, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

At this time, the Falcon drone is still in a gliding state, but the speed is getting faster and faster, and it must soon be able to gain enough lift.

But in any case, the Tianma UAV has taken the lead in the take-off link, at least a few minutes of advantage, and this also represents the difference in the reaction time of the UAV from receiving the task to taking off.

Modern warfare also has extremely high requirements for reaction time, and if you take off and rush to the battlefield a few minutes early, you may attack a few more targets or save a few more soldiers, and if you are a few minutes late, you may delay a fighter.

Therefore, seeing Tenma seize the opportunity, the people on Northrop Grumman's side couldn't help but show excitement, how many nights of hard work, this moment finally paid off, Tenma, did not let himself down.

"VTOL?" In the data room, Vincent also nodded with satisfaction, and casually glanced at the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force: "The design of the Pegasus is refreshing, and it is really a bit exciting." ”

"We're just getting started." The Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force snorted disdainfully, appearing unimpressed: "Keep watching, the good show is still to come." ”

The two of them knew a little about Falcon's surname, so they didn't worry at all.

It's not a good idea to take off for a few minutes first, and winning in the end is the key, not to mention, this is still an unfair competition, so what's there to worry about?

At this moment, the two drones took off one after another, adjusted their course, and flew along their respective designated routes, and there was still a high-altitude flight before entering the low-altitude covert assault, so there was no special look at the beginning.

Chen Chen stood behind the operator, calmly watching the movements of the drone, and could see that this crew member had received a long period of practice, and he knew all the surnames of Tianma well, so he was also extremely proficient in doing it, basically without any superfluous movements, and any of them could perfectly play the advantages of Tianma's surname energy.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chen calmed down slightly, no matter how vicious the conspiracy prepared by the outside, no matter how much trouble the outside brought to him, the key is that there must be no problems inside.

If there are still internal problems in such a situation, it will really be over, and there will be no chance at all.

Now that there are no problems internally, everything can be done to the best of its ability, then there is no need to worry too much, then there is a great chance.

The key problem is that the other party's distance is almost one-third shorter than its own, which is an unavoidable fact, fortunately, the terrain of the entire test route is complex, testing the maneuverability of the drones of both sides, otherwise if it is a pure competition for speed, you can already directly raise your hand and surrender.

Now, it depends on how far the Pegasus machine can reach, and whether the crew can give full play to this advantage, and rely on this advantage to grab enough time to make up for the difference in distance.

In the data room, the two drones have continuously transmitted various flight parameters back and displayed them on the instrument.

"Both planes flew smoothly and very fast." The technician also reported the situation in a timely manner: "The real-time speed of the Pegasus machine, Mach 3.5...... Moreover, it is still increasing, three points seven ...... 3.9...... 4.2...... 4:4...... The current speed of the Pegasus is Mach 4.45, and the estimated maximum speed is around Mach 4.5. ”

"Amazing, isn't it." Vincent smiled faintly and nodded with satisfaction: "Vertical take-off and landing, Mach 4.5 maximum speed, what more can we ask for for a drone?" ”

"Isn't that amazing?" In this regard, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force couldn't help but let out a disdainful sneer: "General, take a good look at the speed of the Falcon, you will know what is called amazing!" ”

"Falcon's instant speed ......" The technician hurriedly looked to the other side, and after seeing the displayed data clearly, he suddenly opened his mouth in astonishment and rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "Oh my God, am I dazzled, what did I see?" Mach 6 ...... Mach 7 ...... 7:5...... 8:00...... 8:5...... 8:7...... Mach 8.7 at the current speed! Estimated maximum speed of Mach 9! Oh my God, is this a rocket? ”

Hearing this string of data, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force suddenly looked pale, and glanced at Vincent with a relaxed and playful look: "My Assistant Minister, what do you think when you hear this data?" ”

"The speed is amazing!" Vincent was an unabashed person, and nodded in recognition at the moment: "It seems that this is the result of the technology they provide, Mach 9, for a drone, it is simply unsurpassable." ”

"The Falcon can easily leave any interception behind!" The Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force nodded with a sneer: "In front of the Falcon, there is no interception, what fighter missiles, to hell with them!" Now, do you still have any questions? ”

"Absolutely!" Vincent said expressionlessly: "What we need is not a rocket, but an unmanned attack aircraft that can perform precision strikes in complex terrain. ”

"Don't you give up?" The Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force sneered at the same time: "Then take a good look." ”

While speaking, the two drones have also reached the designated low-altitude assault position.

At the moment, their respective fuselages deviated and began to descend in altitude.

I have to say that the falcon's mobility is still very good, at least compared with the existing drones, it is good enough, and the action of rolling over and descending is very fast, just like a falcon that has found its prey and is launching a rapid hunt.

However, this kind of action, compared to Pegasus, is extremely clumsy.

Almost as soon as he entered the position, before everyone could see the specific movements, the Pegasus had already flipped on its side and entered a low-altitude flight state, as if it was teleporting, as if it had never flown at a high altitude.

In this way, the few minutes that the Falcon relied on its absolute speed advantage to snatch back were pulled away by Pegasus.

"What's going on?" Seeing this scene, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment, almost unable to believe what they saw: "What did Tianma do?" How can it suddenly go into low-altitude flight? ”

"Let me explain!" Vincent smiled faintly beside him, and then said: "At the high speed of Mach 9, the steering must be slowed down, and with the slender fuselage of a falcon, forcibly turning will cause loss of control." ”

"And what about Pegasus?" The Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force frowned: "Mach 4.5 is fast enough, can it be that if you force a turn, it won't get out of control?" ”

"Of course not, it's determined by the aerodynamic layout." Vincent smiled and shook his head: "The Pegasus's fuselage is wide enough to forcibly change the flight state at high speed, just like drifting in a racing car, complete the steering without slowing down, by the way, I don't know if the two commanders know about racing?" It's interesting to take a look at it when you have time. ”

I look at your sister!

At this moment, the two of them could only curse like this in their hearts.

Who would have thought that Pegasus's mobility ability would be so amazing that both of them were a little greedy, of course, they were still more annoyed by Vincent's straightforwardness in comparison.

It seemed that he was angry with the two of them, and Vincent added next to him: "Actually, I'm a little grateful to the two chiefs for arranging such a route, and I can perfectly display the surname of Pegasus, I'm really looking forward to it." ”

The two of them were almost going crazy.

But so what? After working together for many years, they have long understood that Vincent is such a standard iron-blooded soldier, straight to the point, preferring to bend rather than bend, saying whatever he wants, and absolutely not showing mercy to anyone.

Those who hate him will hate him to death, and those who like him will like him to death.
