Who will announce the final bidding results of the fourth-generation push, Yang Hui is not clear, but received a good news in advance, the news from the Pakistani military has arrived, about the Indian Air Force's purchase of Su-30 series fighter jets, and now this time it is completely stimulated to Pakistan, to rely on Pakistan's dozens of old F-16 third-generation aircraft lineup before this, it is difficult to ensure the minimum combat requirements. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The new procurement plan has been approved in place, and the purchased aircraft is mainly positioned in the single-engine third-generation medium fighter, first of all, the F-16 is no longer possible to enter service in Pakistan, so it can only meet Pakistan's requirements The two most competitive fighters in the world are now: JF-17 Lightning 2, Mirage 2000-5 two models.

Needless to say, the JF-17 Lightning 2 fighter is an upgraded version of the performance of the JF-17 Lightning, first of all, the power system is replaced with a more powerful turbofan 12B, and the air refueling capacity is increased, the old radar system is upgraded, the new three-axis four-redundancy digital fly-by-wire flight controller, as well as a more modern avionics system, diversified weapon configuration, although the price has also increased a lot, but the combat performance of the Lightning 2 is definitely able to beat the F-16A fighter in service in Pakistan, Needless to say.

As for why Pakistan will consider using the Mirage 2000 fighter this time, this is somewhat interesting, according to Pakistan's official statement, the reason is that Pakistan has purchased the Mirage 3 fighter before, and after the Mirage 3 fighter, Pakistan said that it is very satisfied with the Mirage 3 and feels that the Mirage 2000 can become the selected model for this fighter procurement plan.

Now that Pakistan is purchasing new fighters, the treatment must be more special, first of all, on the issue of the export of the No. 10 fighter jet that AVIC has flown to the southwest, which is also open to Pakistan to a limited extent. Now the situation of this plane has been very different from the previous plane, the same No. 10 fighter, or the use of 31FN as the power system, but if Pakistan has relevant needs, AVIC Southwest has a way to solve the problem of the power system, now it depends on whether AVIC Southwest has this idea to go to great length.

"Is Pakistan buying new fighters? I think this time Pakistan should have been stimulated by India to make it so grand, now I just hope that they can come up with some real money, so that everyone can talk, but before Pakistan's J-74 fighter production line, the J-74 fighter they ordered has completed the production and delivery? ”

According to the current situation, in fact, Yang Hui is more suggestive that Pakistan choose the Lightning 2 fighter as the new main fighter, the Lightning 2 is definitely a good aircraft with excellent performance, and can be used in air combat with the Su-30MKI purchased by India, plus Pakistan originally had a J-74 production line, after improving and upgrading this production line, it is no problem to switch to the production of Lightning 2 fighters, and all the subsystems of the Lightning 2 will not be stuck, AVIC Southwest alone is able to solve these problems.

Therefore, at this time, Yang Hui will ask about the production and delivery of Pakistan's J-74 fighter jets, which is completely to help Pakistan tailor a set of the most suitable Air Force fighter upgrade program, but such a tailor-made does not seem to be completely suitable for the specific situation of Pakistan, you must know that the cost of the Lightning 2 fighter is expensive, at least at this time Pakistan has to see if there is a free lunch.

"Pakistan's production of J-74 fighters has reached 120, and fully equipped with the combat squadrons of various countries, replacing the old F-86, J-6 series fighters, and now they are indeed considering continuing to expand the production of J-74, or plan to upgrade the production line, to produce Lightning 2 fighters in the form of licensed production, but the interest in the 10th is not too high."

The Pakistan Air Force is considered to be all kinds of poverty, in the last ten years of the first ten years, it relied on the collection of various second-hand Mirage 3 fighters to ensure the scale of the Air Force, and this plane relied on the production of J-74 fighters to maintain the upgrading of the Air Force, but the J-74 is behind the times after all, and it is no longer enough in the face of the Su-30MKI.

In fact, among the three fighters selected for the project this time, the only one that can achieve an advantage over the Su-30MKI in air combat should only be the purchase of No. 10, and the other Mirage 2000-5 or Lightning 2 are all multi-role fighter designs, although their performance is indeed excellent, but to say how targeted they are in terms of air superiority, it is not necessarily.

And this air superiority and volley happen to be the advantage of No. 10, Pakistan is not interested in No. 10, which makes Yang Hui can't say what it should feel like pinching his fingers, looking at the No. 10 fighter model on the desk, he still feels a little regretful.

The fate of the current No. 10 fighter of this plane is not necessarily much better than that of the previous one, although the No. 10 of this plane has been put into service in advance, but this early service is also exchanged for some performance sacrifices, such as in terms of the multi-purpose of the fighter, it is simply useless.

In the global military fighter market after the Cold War, it is rapidly moving towards the multi-purpose era, and the aircraft specially built for air superiority is naturally obviously a little out of place, if you really want to let the tenth exert its combat capability, it can only be in a big country like the Republic, fully relying on the combat force of the system, which is the same as the MiG-29 of the year, it is only in the specific national air force tactical system is considered an aircraft, and when it is taken outside, it may not be able to adapt quickly.

Not only is the performance positioning of the 10th itself, the current 10th is also facing many pressures, such as the strength of various European twin wind fighters externally, and the fourth has been put into rapid development internally, and it will not take more than ten years to complete the finalization work, and the military's medium-sized fighter procurement will definitely turn to the middle four, and the entire production cycle and production quantity of the tenth may be greatly reduced, and the total number of orders is expected to exceed 500 aircraft.

The misfortune of the tenth in this plane is a kind of luck for the entire republic, the rapid update and iteration of military equipment, which is definitely a good thing, will be conducive to the rapid development and progress of the republican power, so in a sense, although the 611 of this plane has made the same project as the previous one, but the attention of the outside world will definitely not be as crazy as the previous one, which is actually a good thing in a sense.
