If you think about it, Pakistan has the idea of purchasing a 081-class "large multi-purpose amphibious assault ship", although it is somewhat unexpected, but it is absolutely reasonable.

Although this world has brought us a lot of excitement because of the existence of the third brother, and from time to time we are happy to engage in some happy things about our own missiles hitting our own submarines, but for the South Asian countries, the existence of the third brother is not so happy, and it brings them heavy pressure, part of this heavy pressure comes from India's powerful land and air armed forces, and the other almost 50% comes from the aircraft carrier Vilante.

An Indian aircraft carrier is enough for Pakistan to have a headache, but in 2004, India and Russia agreed to convert India into an aircraft carrier on the basis of the retired Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, which was equivalent to a heavy blow to Pakistan's head.

The existence of two aircraft carriers and two aircraft carrier battle groups is definitely not as simple as 1+1 for the threat and pressure on Pakistan, but an increase in geometric multiples.

But that's not all, the launch of India's domestic aircraft carrier project "Vikrant" on April 11, 2005 has deepened Pakistan's unease: almost 10 years later, India will have a powerful maritime strike force with three aircraft carriers, Virat, Vikramaditya as the core.

An aircraft carrier "Virat" has already put Pakistan under pressure, three aircraft carrier battle groups? How is it possible for Pakistan to afford it?! I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night.

India's successive aircraft carrier development plans have made the entire Pakistani top brass restless.

There is no doubt that only aircraft carriers can fight aircraft carriers, and this is the consensus of all countries in the world, just when the Pakistanis are looking at the Indian Virat, pulling their fingers and thinking about how to deal with the Indians Vikramaditya and Vikrant in 10 years. The Chinese's 081-class "large multi-purpose amphibious assault ship" turned out.

When the Chinese' Class 081 "Large Multifunctional Amphibious Assault Ship" was officially equipped with the Republic Navy, and then counted the weapons equipped on the 081 Class "Large Multifunctional Amphibious Assault Ship" on their fingers, the Pakistanis began to drool: Great savior!

As the most hardcore ally of the Republic, Pakistanis know the relevant information of the 081-class "large multi-functional amphibious assault ship" in the shortest possible time: The 081-class "large multi-purpose amphibious assault ship" can not only take off and land the Z-9Y general multi-purpose high-speed helicopter, the Z-13Y heavy high-speed helicopter and a variety of modifications, and the J-6 heavy ground attack aircraft, but even at the beginning of the design, it has been considered to be compatible with the first generation of the Republic's twin-engine heavy carrier-based jet fighter: the J-15 that is in test flight.

What does this mean? This shows that after the success of the J-15, the 081-class "large multi-functional amphibious assault ship" will be transformed into a medium-sized conventionally powered aircraft carrier with a displacement of 45,000 tons!

It is also the only medium-sized aircraft carrier in the world that can take off and land heavy fighters and can carry fixed-wing early warning aircraft!

The "Sea Harrier" vertical/short take-off and landing fighter carried on the Virat aircraft carrier is nothing but a subsonic fighter with slag in air combat performance, and the Qiang-6 is a heavy ground attack aircraft at the beginning of its design, but it has a good foundation. Climb and hover at altitudes from 600 km/h to 700 km/h, 6,500 m to 2,000 m and aerial combat capabilities were emphasized at the beginning of the design, and improvements have been made in the past 10 years.

It can be said that the Navy's carrier-based Qiang-6 is not only a ground attack aircraft, but also has quite a weak medium-altitude and medium-low altitude combat capability, plus the support of air-to-air missiles, carrier-based early warning aircraft and data link systems, although it is only abused when dealing with supersonic carrier-based fighters such as F-14, F/A-18, Super Military Flag and Rafale. But if it is against the subsonic "Sea Harrier" in India, the poor "Sea Harrier" will only be abused.

Within 10 years. Use the Class 081 "Large Multi-Purpose Amphibious Assault Ship" and the J-6 against the Indians' Virat and Sea Harrier fighters. 10 years later, the use of 081-class medium aircraft carriers and J-15 carrier-based fighters against the Indians Vikramaditya, Vikrant and MiG-29K is just right.

For Pakistan, the only question is whether the Chinese agree to sell the 081-class "large multi-purpose amphibious assault ship" and the future J-15 to themselves.

At the same time, Lin Hongfei was particularly concerned about this question, and he immediately asked his father-in-law, "Will we sell the 081 class and J-15 to Pakistan?" If you sell Level 081. Will 052C and subsequent 052D also be sold to Pakistan in order to give Pakistan a certain regional air defense capability? ”

"This question, in fact, mainly depends on the meaning of the Americans," Dongfang was laughing at the thief. "The Americans are going to send the decommissioned 'Kitty Hawk' aircraft carrier to India, right?"

"Zhilu Dao." Lin Hongfei nodded.

On 29 February this year, Russia's "Izvestia" newspaper reported that US President George W. Bush Jr. recently suggested to India that he was willing to give India a free gift of the "Kitty Hawk" aircraft carrier, which was about to be retired from the US Navy.

Of course, the Americans are by no means learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds without leaving a name, and it is not without conditions for India to want to get for nothing the "Kitty Hawk," the last conventionally powered large aircraft carrier developed by the United States after the war: The Indian Government must purchase 65 of the latest F/A-18E/F carrier-based fighters.

Although the Americans did not say it, they could think of it even with their toenails: If you want to get our "Kitty Hawk" aircraft carrier for free, you India will obediently give up buying the "Admiral Gorshkov" aircraft carrier from Russia.

India, which has always wanted to wrestle with the Republic in Asia, did not reject the Americans as it had shown in the original historical time and space, but was somewhat hesitant.

Lin Hongfei guessed that the three 081-class "large multi-functional amphibious assault ships" that appeared like dumplings in the Republic put too much pressure on the Indians, and thought that in addition to these three, there should be two more 081-class launches in the future.

The third brother, who has always been not afraid to ponder the Republic with the worst thoughts, as long as he thinks of the five "large multi-functional amphibious assault ships" aiming at him with bad intentions, he probably has a pain in his brain: being pointed at by the five "large multi-purpose amphibious assault ships", when the time comes, don't say that he has dried this bowl of Ganges water, even if he drinks a stomach full of Ganges water.

"India is ambiguous about the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, and we get the news that they are bargaining with the Americans...... You also know that although India plans to spend $30 billion to update its equipment this time, it is impossible to give all the money to the Americans, and the Indians are not stupid. ”

Hearing what his father-in-law said, Lin Hongfei knew in his heart: "So, the Pakistanis will definitely visit our 081-class warship?" ”

"More than that," Dongfang Zheng smiled and shook his head, "when the Pakistanis came to visit, it was when the J-15 was put on board and the Taishan was temporarily used as an aircraft carrier training ship. ”

Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and then gave a thumbs up: Black! It's so dark! But I like it!

————————————————————————

On the third day after attending the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Pakistani military personnel led by Lin Hongfei's old acquaintance, Pakistani deputy chief of general staff General Mirza, appeared on the deck of the republic's first 081-class large multifunctional amphibious assault ship.

"Really...... Spectacular! Looking at the officers and soldiers of the navy who were busy wearing different colored vests on the huge deck, General Mirza was stunned for a while, and said to Lin Hongfei who accompanied him with great emotion.

"It's really spectacular," Lin Hongfei nodded with a smile, stomped on the steel plate under his feet, and said meaningfully, "Although our company is not a shipbuilder, we are strategic partners with CSIC, and the deck steel and power system used on this warship are still provided by our company." ”

Mirza was stunned for a moment, then nodded, but his eyes were bright and scary: this kind of deck steel and power system that can take off and land nearly 30 tons of heavy carrier-based fighters are really provided by Lin's company? So, does Pakistan really have any hope of getting such a warship?

He didn't believe that Lin Hongfei would say such a sentence for no reason, but he was still a little skeptical about the arrangements of the republic, and couldn't help but ask Lin Hongfei in a low voice, "Lin, will this warship really take off and land the J-15 today?" ”

"Look over there," Lin Hongfei smiled and pointed to the sky in the distance towards the stern of the ship, and the two small black dots in the sky were rapidly approaching the warship, "Isn't this coming?" ”

Is it really coming? Mirza subconsciously raised the telescope hanging on his chest and stared at the sky in the distance, he wanted to see with his own eyes, take a good look, such a large fighter can really be successfully taken off and landed on such an aircraft carrier with a displacement of only more than 45,000 tons?

If this is true, it is too important for Pakistan and for Pakistan's perimeter security and defense posture, and it is no less important than Pakistan has mastered the technology to manufacture atomic bombs.

Looking at Mirza's tightly pursed lips, Lin Hongfei smiled happily: It seems that this business is about to be completed.

Americans are really nice people. (To be continued......)
