How sincere is the French side?

Letting Li Zhan and them enter the conning tower is a very obvious manifestation. The command tower is a place like a place that is all confidential, and you can see how your unit commands operations, how efficient you are, how capable your commanders and pilots are, and how well your intelligence supports, and there are no blind spots.

Although they used French, Li Zhan and the others all had a certain foundation in French, and they could tell that the female captain's commentary was not hidden at all, just like reporting to the superior leader. Therefore, after the two Rafale M carrier-based fighters took off, Li Zhan and the others focused all their attention on visiting, watching the command of their control tower, and watching the confrontation process between them and the fighters.

The Rafale M carrier-based fighter mounted on the standard air combat took off in an emergency take-off in a two-plane formation, and the huge roar of the M-88 aircraft engine in the afterburner state was very clear. After taking off, the two Rafale M carrier-based fighters disbanded and began to engage in close-quarters combat, and the pilots seemed to know that there were foreign troops visiting, so they flew particularly beautifully, reflecting the excellent maneuverability of the Rafale M carrier-based fighters.

Li Zhan held the binoculars and looked very closely, and he found that the acceleration performance of the Rafale M was insane, at least the fastest of the fighters he had ever encountered, and the instantaneous disk ability that the Mirage-2000 series was proud of was not only inherited but also enhanced by the Rafale M.

The horizontal maneuverability of the Rafale should be outstanding among the third-generation aircraft and the third-generation half-generation aircraft, Dassault's delta wing aerodynamic layout is too familiar, the Mirage-2000 is already eye-catching enough, and the Rafale with the close-coupled canard wing is even more awesome than the horizontal maneuverability of the Mirage-2000!

These discoveries made Li Zhan's heart tremble. The brochure clearly mentions that the latest batch of Rafale has been reequipped with AESA, and the French Air Force and French Navy will be equipped with these new models one after another, and India has purchased the AESA model of Rafale M. Coupled with an excellent avionics system, the Rafale M will definitely be a formidable opponent.

In terms of fighter size, Rafale M and J-10 are almost the same size, smaller than the Super Hornet, and much smaller than heavy carrier-based fighters such as J-15, but the Rafale M's small body can carry a lot of weapons and equipment, and even has a strong ability to land with bullets. It is said that the fuel efficiency of this aircraft is much higher than that of the Typhoon fighter, and the fuel efficiency is directly related to the time spent in the air, and the ability to stay in the air is very important in carrier-based fighters.

Li Zhan paid great attention to the Rafale M in his heart, and his willingness to experience flying a Rafale M became even stronger.

"It's not easy." Zhang Xueyang, who was standing beside him, looked solemn and whispered.

Li Zhan nodded slightly, "It's amazing, the French didn't brag." The acceleration was so strong that I was surprised when I first took off, but now it seems that the engine played a key role, and the throttle of the engine was very fast, estimated to be within three seconds. ”

"Will it? Is it so fast? Almost instantaneously. Zhang Xueyang was surprised.

"Yes, you pay attention." Li Zhan said.

Zhang Xueyang looked carefully, the more he looked, the more frightened he became, and after a while, he found some clues, "Do you pay attention to its nose pointing speed, it should be faster than J-10's, and it has a very important relationship with the full-motion canard wing." ”

The canard wings of the Rafale M can be deflected up and down by 20 degrees, and under the management of the flight control system, the degree of modernization is so high that it can be deflected in the autopilot state, and the pilot does not even need to pay attention to it. It is not unreasonable for Airbus to rise to a tie with Boeing for a time.

They are all old birds, and they know too well the importance of nose pointing in aerial combat. The muzzle of your gun is pointed at your opponent first, and you can press the fire button before they can fire.

"The power is great, and Dassault has a lot of experience in the field of aerodynamic shapes, and they have already played with delta wing canards. However, there are definitely drawbacks to this one. Li Zhan said firmly, the telescope was not put down, and his brows were slightly furrowed, "The maximum angle of attack doesn't seem to be good?" ”

Zhang Xueyang hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked over, the two Rafale M's were doing a big overload maneuver, the air combat confrontation was not very meaningful, the display was more meaningful, and even the pilot was most likely not a new pilot.

"It seems that it should be a little worse than J-10's, but the gap shouldn't be very big." Zhang Xueyang is not sure either, it is difficult to see it very accurately.

Cao Fufei suddenly said, "Look, the one on the left is flying at the minimum speed, and the minimum speed envelope is so low?" Is there two hundred kilometers? ”

Everyone's mood is a little heavy, this thing's low-speed performance is too good!

"It should be about 200 kilometers, and Damn Dassault does have the qualifications." Li Zhan couldn't help but scold.

The J-15 can achieve a minimum speed of 200 kilometers per hour, but this is already an envelope. However, the minimum speed shown by the Rafale M should be 200 kilometers per hour, indicating that their envelope is still below. Don't look at such a gap, when approaching the critical point, the impact of a gap is two completely different levels.

Li Zhan walked a few steps to the white-haired lieutenant colonel, and went directly to see the information from the tactical intelligence command terminal in front of him, he was a little nervous because he was afraid that the French would not give face, but the white-headed lieutenant colonel smiled at him kindly but didn't say anything, so he became bold and looked at it presumptuously.

The female captain narrator came up and said, "You can see but you can't take pictures, sorry." ”

Li Zhan had no intention of taking pictures, his eyes were cameras.

He saw the minimum speed of the two Rafale Ms in the sky - 195 km/h. In other words, the envelope is below 195 kilometers per hour, which really surprised Li Zhan.

The smaller the minimum speed means the smaller the turning radius, the smaller the turning radius represents the more flexible the nose pointing, some fighters may have a lower minimum speed than the Rafale M, but the Rafale M accelerates quickly, it can quickly gain enough kinetic energy in a shorter time......

Damn, air combat capabilities seem invincible, is that really the case?

Li Zhan felt that he was a little scared of himself.

When Li Zhan noticed that the two air confrontations in the sky had entered the end of the Rafale M, he suddenly realized where the shortcomings of this aircraft were. The small diameter of the nose cannot install a larger size radar, even if it is on the AESA, its combat range is limited, and the second is the thrust-to-weight ratio of this aircraft, the acceleration performance is good, but the thrust-to-weight ratio is not very good.

Another is that Li Zhan found himself falling into a misunderstanding - the comparison between his J-10, J-11 and Rafale series fighters is a mistake in itself, you must know that the Rafale series fighters are used to replace the Mirage-2000, and the French believe that this is their advanced fourth-generation aircraft!

If you compare your own fourth-generation aircraft with the Rafale series, what will be the result?

Thinking of this, Li Zhan's mood suddenly improved.

Our country has developed a fourth-generation aircraft, and it is a fourth-generation stealth fighter in the true sense, and the fact that the French are so generous and easy to talk has a very important relationship with this reason. China's armament development has already begun to surpass theirs, and if it does not have a sense of superiority, it is necessary to stutter well and see if there is an opportunity to cooperate, make some money and spend some money, even if it cannot make money from the field of armaments, and it is the best choice to improve relations.

Zhang Xueyang saw Li Zhan suddenly laughed, and suddenly felt puzzled, just when he was asking, Mo Ren'an and Mo Nai asked the military attache to come back, Mo Ren'an nodded slightly, and Zhang Xueyang suddenly became excited.

It seems that the Rafale M experience flight is done.
