Half a day, just a short half a day. Everything was arranged: a target ship for testing air-launched anti-ship missiles, an uninhabited island for testing the accuracy of aircraft-to-surface missile guidance, and two target planes for testing the performance of air-to-air missiles were completed as quickly as possible under the "mediation" of the US Department of Defense, which was eager to know the performance of this fighter plane from the Alice Group.

This target ship, which was used to test the performance of anti-ship missiles, was originally intended by the Singapore military to be used for its own anti-ship missile experiments, but at this time it was unceremoniously "borrowed" by the Americans; The uninhabited island was temporarily "borrowed" from the Malaysian government, and in the same way, the Malaysian government only obediently did not dare to say anything about this request of the Americans -- even if it was an experiment, the Americans' problem of forcible seizure has not changed, and if they can not spend their own money, then they will not spend their own money as much as possible, and these guys who have been robbed by themselves will not dare to say anything anyway.

At the same time, the Americans have the AIM-120 "Sparrow" medium-range air-to-air missile, the AiM-9 "Sidewinder" active-infrared-guided close-range combat air-to-air missile, the AGM-65 "Maverick" air-to-surface missile, the Russian R-73 "Archer" short-range air-to-air combat missile, the R-77 "Viper" medium-range air-to-air missile, the X-29 air-to-surface missile, the latest "Exocet" **39 airborne anti-ship missile of the French, and the latest "Storm Shadow" of the British A total of eight types of weapons of different specifications and four combat modes, including conventional air-to-surface missiles outside the textile zone, were transported to this strangely shaped fighter plane in the outdoor exhibition area of the Alice Group.

Of course, at the same time, there were also the top military chiefs of the four countries at the Singapore Airshow.

"This is the contract letter," said David Brown, deputy commander of the U.S. Asia-Pacific Command, with a foul-faced face. Miller was very unhappy and stuffed the contract in his hand into Zhang Lan's hand with almost smashing force, "Mr. Zhang, at this time, I remind you again, although we agree to this test, we hope you had better understand." These weapons belong to the military of the United States of America, and if there is a ......"

"I know if these missiles are not launched but they are gone, your military will get us in trouble, right? A lot of words" Without waiting for this guy to finish speaking, he looked at the American soldiers behind him with disdain, who were carefully cared for by the American soldiers, and looked at him with a look like he was guarding against the thief's weapon, Zhang Lan had already interrupted this guy's words with a smile, "Don't worry, although our Alice Group is not very rich, but these things ...... Hehe...... If it weren't for the idea of bringing our products to market faster......"

While speaking, Zhang Lan shook his head gently, and the disdainful tone in it could be seen by fools, and it seemed that Zhang Lan did not regard these weapons that were treasured by the US military as a thing at all.

"You? Hum! "Originally, I wanted to refute Zhang Lan's David. Miller, seeing Zhang Lan's performance, was a little worried that if he said something, the Alice Group, which had never played cards according to common sense, would embarrass himself again, so he had to slam his hand off and stand aside angrily.

Unlike this morning, the strangely shaped forward-swept wing plane of the Alice Group is now parked at the end of a civilian airport in Singapore, and behind the Alice Group plane is an F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" carrier-based fighter-attack plane temporarily transferred by the Americans and a SU-30MKKII. heavy fighter temporarily transferred by the Russian military from the exhibition site.

At the same time, there is also an EP-3C electronic reconnaissance plane and an E-2C "Hawkeye" airborne early warning plane "loaned" from the Singapore military in the sky, which are responsible for patrolling and reconnaissance missions in this airspace. …,

The purpose of all this is very clear, that is, to prevent the Alice Group from stealing from itself! Who can guarantee that the Alice Group will not take this opportunity to embezzle their weapons for reverse decipherment? Now, there are three American fighters with advanced electronic equipment and one Russian fighter plane with excellent air mobility to observe closely, and there is no need to send the Alice Group to do anything about it.

The Americans and the Russians, who have never dealt much with foreign arms sales, joined forces for the first time this time because they were facing the potential enemy of the Alice Group. After all, the cake is so big, if the Alice Group breaks in and snatches a piece in a daze, wouldn't the cake you can eat be much smaller?

"Alright, General Miller, this is not the place we should be, I think the tower is more suitable for us," said David. Miller's angry appearance, Zhang Lan didn't bother to bother with him, smiled slightly, and made a gesture of please, "After the plane takes off for a while, I don't think you can see anything else here except for the noise that affects our hearing and the planes that keep taking off and landing." ”

Snorted in his nose, David. With a cold face, Miller raised his feet and walked in the direction of his car...... This girl obviously made up her mind to embarrass Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi.

"Alas, gentlemanly manners, gentlemanly manners," Zhang Lan said loudly and deliberately shaking his head in the back, "these days, some guys shout gentlemanly manners all day long, but. Tsk......"

David walking ahead. Miller stiffened, then gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards his car. Now this guy just found out, fighting with Zhang Lan? The only one who is angry is himself.

Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi, who were standing on the tower, had a pair of huge sunglasses on their faces, and the brown lenses blocked their eyes, and their calm faces made it impossible to understand what the two were thinking...... Of course, no one can understand David at this moment. Miller and the military representatives of several other countries were thinking about something, and everyone used sunglasses to hide their hearts, but judging by their faces, it seemed to indicate that these guys were not in a very good mood.

Not that it seems, but that it's really not very good.

Whenever they recalled the weapons that were absolutely impossible to successfully mount on the Alice Group's fighter just now, they were actually successfully mounted on their aircraft by the Alice Group's staff after a little adjustment, and saw from the images captured by the camera in the cabin that they were successfully identified by the on-board computer, the faces of these guys were not good!

What this situation represents, these guys know all too well! At this moment, a very bad premonition had gradually risen in their minds.

"Boom!" Although they didn't hear anything in their ears, the moment the plane's engine spewed out a bright pale blue flame, such a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's hearts.

What is the color of this flame? Looking at the pale blue tail flame behind the black fighter plane of the Alice Group as it quickly crossed the runway, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts.

But before they could understand what was going on, something even more unexpected happened: the Alice Group's fighter plane, which had just climbed less than 200 meters, had already begun to accelerate and fly at supersonic speed!

What's going on?

"Mr. Zhang, I'm ......" David. Miller was furious and about to come up and look for trouble.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you," Zhang Lan looked happy when he saw the expressions of these guys like an invisible radish stuffed into their mouths, "This fighter." Using a new aero engine that has just been developed and finalized by our Alice Group, the thrust-to-weight ratio has reached 15, which is enough for our aircraft to cruise at a supersonic speed of Mach 1.5, I think, your aircraft should be able to fly a little faster. ”…,

Thrust-to-weight ratio of 15? Except for Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi, everyone grew their mouths in surprise!

Taking the SU-27 fighter, the representative of the main third-generation fighter at present, as an example, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the AL-31F turbofan engine used is only 7.8, and even the thrust-to-weight ratio of the F-22, the fourth-generation fighter that the Americans are now developing, is only 10. With this thrust-to-weight ratio, it is already possible for the F-22 "Raptor" stealth heavy fighter, which is known as the world's most advanced fourth-generation fighter, which is being developed by the Americans, to do intermittent supersonic cruise, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 15 aero engines? Looks like I've never heard of it yet.

It is a recognized fact that before 2020, no one thought that military turbofan engines with ultra-high thrust-to-weight ratios of 15-20 would come out, and even if they finally came out, they would definitely be born in the United States, where aviation technology is the most developed!

Although Alice Group is an American company, they are not professional in aviation technology research and development after all. Martin, Pratt. What Whitney and General Electric, which have been developing aircraft engines and aircraft for decades, have not done, can you Alice Group do?

Be! That's right! Your Alice Group has launched an aerospace plane before, but that's the limit of what you can do with the power of the whole group, right? A lot of words, but the two engines on the plane of the Alice Group slapped these guys hard with their strong power!

No one thought that this small fighter of the Alice Group would have such excellent performance!

Zhang Lan smiled happily: Didn't expect it? Very good. There's so much more you haven't thought of.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since there is still a little time before the official start of testing, then you probably want to have a general understanding of our aircraft," at this time, Jill walked in with a stack of materials and smiled, "I hope this information will be of some help to you to understand this fighter of our group." ”

No one refuses for the sake of so-called face, they all know that at this time, any opportunity to know more about the fighters of the Alice Group must be seized, and the situation that they already know has made them passive enough, and the situation has not allowed them to be more passive.

After reading these materials. Everyone took a deep breath again!

According to the current international standard for dividing the size of fighter planes, such as the F-16 and MiG-29, which have a bomb load, are called medium-sized fighters, the F-18 "Hornet" and the FBC-1 "Flying Leopard" fighter-bomber that have just been put into service in China are called Daxin fighters, and such fighters as the F-15 "Eagle" fighters, the SU-27 "Flanker" family series, and various later improved and upgraded fighters weigh more than 30 tons. A fighter with a bomb load of about 10 tons was considered a heavy fighter.

However, the fighter launched by Alice Group obviously subverted the standard of dividing the size of the fighter in everyone's minds, although this fighter only has the empty weight of a medium fighter, and the size is not much larger than that of a medium fighter, but the maximum load capacity of the aircraft has reached an astonishing 11 tons!

This terrifying carrying capacity has already exceeded the maximum carrying capacity of the F-15 fighter family and the SU-27 fighter family series fighters! But the worst thing is that even if you carry ammunition equivalent to its own weight and fuel equivalent to half of its own weight, this fighter can still reach an air cruise speed of Mach 1.5!

The most terrifying thing is that even without the use of auxiliary fuel tanks, the combat radius of this fighter has reached an astonishing 1,800 kilometers, but what about even the latest F-15F "Super Eagle" fighter and SU-30MKKK fighter? In the case of carrying two auxiliary fuel tanks, the combat radius is only about 1500 kilometers. …,

And this fighter of the Alice Group actually has 13 external attachment points! As a super monster equipped with 13 external hardpoints, even with two auxiliary fuel tanks, this fighter still has 11 external hardpoints to use, while the F-15 and SU-27 only have a total of 11 external hardpoints......

Of course, if this is desperate enough, there is an even more desperate thing is that thanks to the use of a full-motion vector tail nozzle with 90-degree deflection capability, this fighter can be called a short-range fighter, carrying 10 tons of ammunition and ensuring a combat radius of 1500 kilometers, and the take-off and running distance is 150 meters.

In other words, as long as this aircraft is slightly modified, it can easily be put into service on an aircraft carrier, easily change from a land-based fighter to a carrier-based fighter, and it is also the kind that greatly surpasses the best carrier-based fighter in terms of combat radius and the amount of weapons and ammunition that can be carried out: the F-18 "Hornet" fighter. And the biggest advantage of this fighter is that whether it is an aircraft carrier such as the United States and France that uses a steam catapult take-off method, or an aircraft carrier that uses a sliding jump take-off method such as the United Kingdom, Russia, India, Spain and even Thailand, this fighter can easily be put into service.

This is an indescribably big surprise for the navies of countries that have aircraft carriers, but no steam catapults! For example, countries such as Xiaoasan, Thailand, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Italy, which have aircraft carriers but use the traditional glide take-off method, no longer have to secretly drool at their own aircraft carriers with a small displacement while staring at their superior heavy carrier-based aircraft.

And for those countries that are developing their own aircraft carriers, this is also a huge surprise! Because this means that they can ensure sufficient combat effectiveness, they do not need to spend a lot of effort to develop the aircraft carrier's neat catapult for the time being, and only need to study the other systems of the aircraft carrier, which will undoubtedly greatly speed up the research of their aircraft carrier. As for the carrier-based aircraft take-off catapult on the aircraft carrier? We can do this thing slowly. Well, the country is naturally dominated by China.

This design must have been damn Alice did on purpose when she designed it! When they saw this scene, the Americans were already secretly indignantly scolded in their hearts.

Of course, the Russians' faces are not much better, and compared with the Alice Group's plane, which is very likely to become a carrier-based aircraft, their SU-33KUB carrier-based fighter with a glide jump take-off method is really too ordinary, and with this Alice Group's fighter, the Russians can no longer hold on to their SU-30KUB carrier-based fighter and wait for the price to sell.

"I forgot to tell you that we are already developing a carrier-based version of this fighter, and it is estimated that it will be tested in a period of time." Xiao Chenxi said with a smile on her face, "When the time comes, you will take care of our business." ”

The faces of these guys who always have their nostrils in their nostrils on weekdays suddenly changed! This is really not good news, or rather, there is no worse news, if the Alice Group really intends to launch a carrier-based version of this fighter, then what is going to do with its own business?

Americans and Russians are even more unhappy in their hearts!

Russia's main carrier-based fighters in service: The SU-33KUB carrier-based aircraft that uses the taxi-run take-off method has a combat radius of less than 1,000 kilometers when carrying weapons and ammunition with a maximum load of 8 tons, while the US Navy F-18 "Hornet" fighter that takes off with a steam catapult has a combat radius of only 1,000 kilometers when it is fully loaded with 7 tons of ammunition......

Of course, you can say, what is the short combat radius? Anyway, their carrier-based aircraft can all be refueled in the air.

There is nothing wrong with this, but you must also admit that whether air refueling is a delay in time, during this period of refueling, both fighters and air tankers are in a dangerous and vulnerable state, and if you can reach the combat target area without using air refueling only by relying on your own internal fuel, why use air refueling? And don't forget, this Alice Group fighter also has the ability to refuel in the air.

Therefore, looking at the series of data introduced on the information of this bizarre and sci-fi fighter plane launched by Alice Group, it is understandable that these guys' faces are so stinky......
