After all, the Qiang-5 belongs to the front-line attack aircraft, and the main purpose of throwing hydrogen bombs by this kind of aircraft is to block the rolling armored torrent of the Soviets.

It is not used to bomb stationary targets, but to bomb armored forces, after all, the flood of armor of the Soviets, in this era it is an invincible existence, not only at home, but even in the Western world.

Last year, the Soviets held a huge Western-81 military exercise, the goal was to advance in Western Europe, after watching the Soviets' exercises, the West was surprised to come to a conclusion, within a week, the Soviets' armor torrent can bulldoze the whole of Europe!

At that time, just like World War II, except for the British Isles, the whole of Europe would be planted with the flag of sickle and hammer.

In the north of the motherland, in Outer Mongolia, the Soviets deployed a large number of tank troops, once the war really started, the other side could advance in a few days, almost unstoppable, in the strategic deployment, and even the entire north, it was to be abandoned, just like the War of Resistance against Japan, first to preserve strength, and then counterattack.

When the People's Republic of China was first founded, the heavy industry bases were all in the north, and after that, they began to support the construction of the third line, including the 611 Institute, which was separated from the 601 Institute and came to the land of abundance.

It is so that once the north falls, it will still have the ability to confront in the south.

This is the most important thing.

When Qin Feng returned to the guest house, he spent an unforgettable night, he had insomnia for the first time, getting married, this matter, it seemed to be far away from him, but it was very close, from now on, he was no longer alone, he would have a lover who would accompany him through the ups and downs of his life, which made him have a strange feeling in his heart.

Perhaps, this is love? Like in the movies?

Qin Feng didn't know, he picked the most suitable movie. Let the hearts of the two people finally get closer. It's close enough to be a family.

The next day, the meeting went on as usual, when he saw Ma Lao, Qin Feng did not feel surprised, yesterday, the host said that there would be a new person to make a report at today's meeting, that must be Ma Lao.

Sure enough, after the meeting began, the first item was Ma Lao's report.

Ma Lao stood up and took out a model from his side, and when he saw this model, in an instant, Qin Feng's gaze froze.

Since the last time Song Lao came up with the model and successfully introduced it to everyone, it has been a practice to hold the model in the report.

Now, the model in Ma Lao's hand is special, and when he saw the big plate on it, Qin Feng was almost about to call out.

E-3, isn't this the E-3 AWACS?

In terms of appearance, this is a large passenger aircraft with four engines suspended under the wings, and on the back of the fuselage, there is also a large plate, when he sees this model, Qin Feng can recognize it at a glance, it is the most technical performance of the E-3 early warning aircraft in this era!

The U.S. Navy was the first to operate early warning aircraft, and their E-2 early warning aircraft, despite the fact that the appearance has not changed much, but the internal radar system has been constantly updated, and the threat to the Navy may come from any direction, and they are eager to detect their own sea and air.

The Air Force, on the other hand, does not have such an urgent need, which also leads to the fact that the Air Force will not make do with it, and the AWACS aircraft they want to use must be the most advanced technology in this era.

The original EC-121 could hardly be considered a normal AWACS aircraft, and from 1962 onwards, the US Air Force began to consider the development of a new alert system and studied the possibility of such aircraft as an air surveillance and command station in tactical air combat.

For the US Air Force, it is necessary to have down-looking technology, the Navy's E-2 is working on the sea surface, and the echo on the sea surface may not be serious, but the Air Force is not good, if it cannot have the ability to search for targets from the ground echo, it is chicken.

Therefore, it was not until 1967 that it was decided to adopt the pulse Doppler system, and after two rounds of comparative flight screening, the radar developed by Westinghouse was selected in 1973.

Radar is the key to early warning aircraft, early radars did not have pulse Doppler capabilities, that is not possible, it cannot be used at all, and in the seventies, the radar technology of the United States has matured, and the AWG-9 radar of their Tomcat fighters already has the perfect ability to detect enemy aircraft from complex ground echoes.

The radar system of the E-3 is the AN/APY-1 S-band pulsed Doppler radar developed by Westinghouse.

Just like the big plate you see in front of you, the radar is inside the plate, although it is all a plate, the radar of the E-2 is an Yagi antenna, and the radar of the E-3 is a flat slit array antenna with a size of 7.3 meters × 1.52 meters!

That's right, it's a flat slot radar antenna, how important is this technology? Before the advent of active phased array technology, this kind of technology, that is, the king of radar.

This radar can be used in a variety of operating modes, such as pulsed or pulsed Doppler, high pulse repetition rate or low pulse repetition rate, vertical or non-vertical scanning, active or passive.

The radar has the technical characteristics of narrow main lobe, low side lobe, frequency hopping, multi-pulse repetition frequency, and moving target display, which can effectively resist electronic interference. It can be said that it is this radar technology that is the key to the E-3 early warning aircraft, even if the United States already has the technology, it has been developed for several years.

They developed three prototypes of the E-3A based on the Boeing 707, and in 1975 the first prototype of the E-3A flew for the first time, using these aircraft to fly test production electronics.

In March 1977, the first production E-3 was delivered. By May 1978, the first batch of 8 aircraft had formed initial combat capability.

It's quite a long time, so to speak.

That's still the advanced technology of the Americans.

The Air Force has also been moved and modified the Air Police No. 1, and the result? The complex ground echo problem simply could not be solved, and in the end the project was discontinued.

At that time, not only could the radar not solve it, but there was no suitable carrier aircraft, and now, when he saw Ma Lao take out this model, Qin Feng felt both shocked and worried.

Now, the Yun-10 project is in a stagnation stage, if this aircraft is used as a carrier aircraft for AWACS, it is a good way, but what about the big plate above?

At present, the country cannot even handle the single-pulse radar used by the J-8, and it has not yet completed the integration capability with the planned Thunderbolt-4 missile, let alone the radar of this AWACS aircraft that is thousands of times more technically difficult.

Is it possible?

"After receiving instructions from the Air Force that we might get radar systems from the outside world, we started a lot of wind tunnel experiments." Ma Lao began to introduce, and this sentence surprised Qin Feng even more.
