Chapter 274: The General Arrives
Is J-7 obsolete? Just look at the later generations, the life cycle of the J-7 is still quite long, after all kinds of magic reforms, the combat effectiveness has reached 80% of the F-16, but the price is quite low, relying on high quality and low price, it has sold a lot, although the MiG-21 was invented by the Soviets, but China, 132, has carried it forward thoroughly.
If it weren't for the Thunder Dragon fighter later, the J-7 MF, which was completely changed to belly air intake and could add large-caliber radar to the nose, might have appeared, which can be said to be the ultimate magic model. (When Hua Dong Zhixiong first saw the model picture of this aircraft, he was really surprised.) )
Because of the large overlap with the Thunder fighter, the maximum speed drop caused by the improved gas, and the lack of engine thrust, etc., finally made this aircraft not put into production.
And now, the J-7M is about to write the glory of the entire J-7 family.
Back in the dormitory, Gu Tingting was waiting for Qin Feng with a smile: "Hey, do you have a flight mission tomorrow?" ”
"No, there are important guests tomorrow, I am responsible for the reception, now I have too many identities, and tomorrow I will be a special receptionist."
Gu Tingting's hand hooked Qin Feng's neck: "Your current identity is my husband, the only identity." ”
For two long-lost lovers, a short reunion is the most joyful.
The next day, the sky was clear, the warm and moist sea breeze blew from the blue sea, which made people feel refreshed, and the sky above their heads was also so fresh.
C-130!
When there was a rumbling sound in the sky, everyone looked up and watched the Pakistani military transport plane, aiming at the runway here, and landing.
In addition to being engaged in transport missions, senior Pakistani Air Force officials also like to use it as their own landline when they visit abroad.
The tail door opened, and Lieutenant General Jamal, dressed in military uniform, stepped down.
Lieutenant General Jamal was accompanied by his own personnel, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau and deputy general manager of China Aviation Technology, who was by his side.
Manager Liu had a smile on his face: "General, our most advanced J-7M fighter is here for a test flight." ”
In fact, it is the J-7II.A that is now flying test, but at the time of introduction, it has been called the J-7M.
"General, it's a pleasure to meet you." Tu Lao and the others were all next to the plane to greet him, and Qin Feng followed behind Tu Lao, he turned his eyes from the fuselage of the C130 transport plane, and looked at the tall Pakistani general, who was now a lieutenant general.
There has been no title in China now, and there was a period of military rank in China, but later in order to ensure equality between the top and bottom, all military ranks were cancelled, resulting in a result that I don't know what level the other party is, and many times it can only be determined by age, which is very inconvenient.
Lieutenant General.
"I know you." General Jamal shook hands with everyone in turn, walked to Qin Feng's side, and said, "A few years ago, we met. ”
The general's extraordinary memory made Qin Feng very impressed.
"General, today I will mainly introduce to you that the biggest feature of our Jian-7M fighter is that it has been reequipped with a large number of Marconi company's advanced avionics, which has realized the needs of our most needed cannon hotline aiming, and facilitated the pilot's operation."
"Really?" General Jamal was full of interest: "In the past, in our impression, the aircraft produced in China has always been the least important thing to pay attention to these equipment, but now, has we finally changed our thinking?" ”
The words of the lieutenant general are not derogatory, they are just telling the truth.
Back then, when he was still a pilot, Lieutenant General Jamal flew the two main fighters equipped in the Pakistan Air Force, the F-86F and the J-6.
Among them, the equipment of the F-86F is already very advanced, for example, it has a fully automatic automatic leading edge slat, which can be automatically retracted and released according to airspeed, which makes the F-86F very flexible at low speeds.
Due to the aerodynamic problems of the J-6, there is an unfavorable yaw tendency at low speeds, and deviations often occur when making sharp turns at low speeds, and it is necessary to pedal the rudder inward to assist in sharp turns to prevent adverse yaw.
It can be said that American-made fighters are very humane, while Chinese-made fighters are very testing pilots.
Taking the most important cannon aiming as an example, the former has a calculated sight, while the J-6 does not, and the pilot must mentally calculate the shooting advance according to different speeds, angles and distances to hit the target, which is very difficult.
So, in the Pakistani Air Force, the J-6 has a reputation for being difficult to tame. However, many pilots still like the irascible J-6 because of its outstanding power, thrust-to-weight ratio is quite high, and it climbs fiercely.
Lieutenant General Jamal came from Shenyang, and they carefully observed the Jian-8 and had a lot of complaints about the Jian-8, the body of this aircraft is slender and the maneuverability is certainly not high, and at the same time, as a newly developed fighter, it is still the nose air intake, and there is no modern electronic equipment inside.
And here, he didn't have much hope, in terms of numbering, J-8 must represent the highest level, but now, he is interested.
This J-7, on the contrary, focuses on strengthening avionics performance?
"The plane is right ahead." After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Qin Feng walked to General Jamal's side, took General Jamal, and headed towards the tarmac.
"You have improved it, and it is completely different from the original MiG-21." Before you get closer, you can see a lot of differences from a distance.
General Jamal is familiar with the MiG-21 because the Pakistani Air Force, an old rival, is equipped with a large number of Soviet-made fighters, including the MiG-21.
In the early MiG-21, the cockpit canopy was flipped forward, but now, what he saw was already flipped backwards, and the dorsal fin and other parts behind it were very different from the MiG-21.
"That's right, we've made a lot of improvements." Qin Feng said on the side: "Its performance has been greatly improved, General, you slow down." ”
General Jamal has already made his strides.
Qin Feng looked at General Jamal's appearance and couldn't help shouting, slow down, so fast!
General Jamal didn't listen to Qin Feng, he ran to the fighter plane, climbed the gangway with a huff, and then sat in the cockpit.
The first thing that catches your eye is the top of the dashboard, behind the windshield, where there is an extra piece of glass, and that piece of glass glows green.
This thing is almost the same as on the F-16, and it seems that in this regard, China has indeed begun to make great strides!
General Jamal suddenly became interested: "Can you turn on the power?" ”
