Chapter 454: The Threat of Phantom 2000
The French sell fighter planes, of course, unconditionally, they are looking at a vacancy in the world, where American-made fighters and Soviet-made fighters cannot be taken care of, or where there are omissions, it happens to be their stage, in this world, except for the Soviet Union and the United States, they France is the third pole!
That's right, France has an independent military industry, and the equipment of the navy, land and air force can be produced completely independently, which is definitely a remarkable progress! You know, after the end of World War II, France was almost in ruins, and they were built on the ruins.
Their weapons may be more expensive, they may be a little worse in performance, but they do not have any political strings attached, or rather, for them, it is absolutely a sale for money, and any country can do business.
India, which was originally a traditional Soviet-made fighter country, look at the equipment in their air force, MiG-21, MiG-23, MiG-25, almost all of them are complete, especially the MiG-25, which is a fighter with three times the speed of sound, it sounds like a headache enough.
If you want to shoot down a fighter with three times the speed of sound, it is absolutely impossible, the electronic system of the missile does not react so quickly, as for the cannon, don't be delusional, the last time it was able to shoot down, it was also the opponent's sneak attack when returning home, under normal circumstances, once the opponent enters the high-altitude and high-speed, it is the invincible king.
But, so what? Being a reconnaissance plane is almost the same, high-altitude and high-speed is just satisfied, but if you want to be a fighter, it is really useless, this kind of aircraft can only fly double and three, but to fly to that extent, it can only fly in a straight line, and a slightly larger overload maneuver may lead to the disintegration of the aircraft.
And under normal circumstances, its maneuverability is not good, and it is more appropriate to call it an interceptor to say that it is a fighter.
These planes are all second-generation aircraft, the third-generation aircraft of the Soviets, which should be counted from the MiG-29, but this fighter is currently only for its own use and has not been exported.
As for the United States, a large number of third-generation aircraft are in service, and F-16 fighters have also begun to be marketed to the world, but if we look at the situation in South Asia, we can see that in order to support Afghanistan's just war against the Soviet Union, the United States must have good relations with Pakistan, and the Pakistan Air Force has already obtained F-16 fighters, and in this case, it is certainly impossible for India to obtain such fighters from the United States.
If the Indian Air Force wants to get a third-generation aircraft, there is only one option left, and that is France!
Therefore, the Indian Air Force has signed an agreement with the French company Dassault to purchase Dassault Mirage 2000 fighters, so that the pressure on the domestic air force has suddenly increased.
In the past, everyone's main beware was the north, in order to prevent those Tu-22M suddenly ultra-low-altitude invasion, the country is doing its best, and the Jian-8 is actually prepared for the hairy bears in the north.
The best thing to use in China is the J-7 series of aircraft, which is just an authentic second-generation aircraft, and it can only rely on quantity to win, and carry forward the spirit of fighting bayonets in the air.
However, now the situation has deteriorated, not only in the north, but also in the southwest, there may be problems, after all, a few years ago, and the Indians broke out in conflict, now they often have to face the Indians' air cross-border reconnaissance, if they have the Mirage 2000, then their own air force, there is really no capable aircraft to parry.
In this case, the purchase of the Mirage 2000 from France is of great significance, and the introduction of a few aircraft is definitely for evaluation, and at the same time, it is also to allow the Air Force to confront this aircraft, find the weaknesses of this aircraft, and then restrain it.
If you want to buy a large number of aircraft, the first is that the funds are insufficient, and the second is that since the Indians have this kind of aircraft, if they also have this kind of aircraft, the performance will also be eaten by the other side.
So, most likely, that's just a few planes in total.
Qin Feng quickly figured out these things, and then saw the worry on General Lin's face.
"General Lin, we don't have to worry too much, now, we still have a lot of projects in China." Qin Feng said: "Our J-8 will be armed with avionics imported from abroad, and our J-7 CP will also have over-the-horizon air combat capabilities, and even reach the level of F-16." ”
Qin Feng still didn't say anything big about this, J-8 is equipped with advanced avionics, it can be against the Phantom 2000, if the engine and fly-by-wire control are in place, it can really be compared, as for the J-7 CP, this aircraft is now developing very quickly.
Speaking of this, Qin Feng glanced ahead, this time, there was also a team led by Mr. Gu, of course, they were peers to inspect the telex control and discuss the possibility of introduction.
Tu Lao did not come, and it is said that the negotiations with the Pakistani side have been going on recently, which has involved a lot of his energy, but the preparation of both hands has always been done, and now, Qin Feng and General Lin have talked about the matter of Jianqi CP.
"Because it is more pleasant to cooperate with Marconi Company, therefore, as a backup plan, Lao Tu is still trying to negotiate with Marconi Company." General Lin said.
The current 132 factory relies on the export of fighters, has successfully walked out of a road, even if the superiors do not give allocation, they can raise their own funds, they can go on, the current 132 factory, has always been interested, planning to get the J-7 CP out, J-8 has succeeded in both sides of the air intake, of course their 132 factory is no problem.
"Marconi Company?" Qin Feng said: "I'm afraid they don't have any mature plans, right?" Could it be the Fox Hunt Radar? ”
Improving the nose of the aircraft is to have over-the-horizon air combat capabilities, which is very important, and now if you look at the British, the most advanced, even if it is a Tornado fighter-bomber, they themselves developed a special interceptor, that is, put a radar codenamed Fox Hunt in the nose.
Statistically, this radar is very advanced, for example, it can track ten targets at once, which sounds advanced, but this is beyond the level of British technology.
That's right, in the world, the most advanced airborne radar is in the United States, even the British can't, this radar is not a flat slot antenna, at the same time, the radar's processor is not good, the target data is not in place, and the radar's tracking algorithm is not good, so, it is matched to the Tornado F2 fighter, and in the end, it will not work, this model of Tornado fighter, the nose is equipped with a cement counterweight!
The current Britain is also at this level, and it is troubled by this radar, and it will not be able to make do with it until the end of the eighties.
Now, in addition to the United States, only Britain is left, and Tu Lao also has this plan and wants to introduce this radar from the Marconi company to use.
"The problem of radar needs to be solved, and the problem of missiles is also very important." Thinking of the backwardness of the domestic radar, Qin Feng was silent for a long time before continuing to speak.
