Peshawar, in the eyes of those who are not familiar with it, has nothing but a nice name, and for Pakistan, it is their military powerhouse.

Peshawar is strategically located in the northern part of Pakistan, in the foothills of the Himalayas, bordered by Afghanistan to the west and Kashmir to the east.

Like the other names, these names are transliterations, and if translated, "Peshawar" means a border town, a military town that, although it is only a small town.

Due to its location, the Royal Air Force had already built an airfield here before Pakistan's independence, and after the establishment of Pakistan, it became an important air base for Pakistan in the north.

The base here also had a special reputation, of course, it was not a good thing, when the U-2 plane of the US military secretly took off here and went to the Soviet Union to engage in espionage and reconnaissance activities.

As a result, it was Gary's turn?? When Powers was in the airspace of the southern part of the Soviet Union for more than 2,000 kilometers, he was shot down by Soviet troops and became the first person to fly a U-2 into the sand.

Now, Peshawar's location is even more important, as it is home to the Pakistan Air Force's Northern Command, and here, too, there is a large number of air force fighter jets.

After a long flight, one afternoon in June, Qin Feng piloted the Jian-7M fighter and another companion, followed by the C-130, and slowly landed at Peshawar Air Base.

From a distance, you can see the runway here, unlike the domestic air base, there are two runways, one main runway and one auxiliary runway, if in wartime, once the main runway is blown up, you can still land on the secondary runway.

And on the other side of the sub-runway, there is a row of hangars.

Unlike the open-air storage of domestic fighters, the base here is often faced with a state of war, so the hangars are made of reinforced concrete and sturdy hangars, which can directly resist the attack of bombs in the sky.

It is surrounded by mountains, and in the middle of the mountains, this is the only plain, so the air base here is even more important.

Wait, what did you see?

Pilots must have a pair of sharp eyes, and Qin Feng looked at it from afar, and was immediately attracted by the row of fighters in the parking area outside the hangar.

Looking down from here, you can see that those fighters are single-engine light fighters, with a smooth fuselage, angled triangular wings, and a bubble-like cockpit, reflecting light in the sun, Qin Feng felt his heart fluttering.

That's the F-16!

Peshawar base, also with F-16! Up to now, Qin Feng has been in contact with Tomcat fighters and Mirage 2000, and this is the first time he has been in a base with the F-16!

Qin Feng tried his best to keep his mood steady, operated the Jian-7M fighter, taxied in the direction of the auxiliary runway with the wingman, and then landed steadily.

When the wheels touched the ground, Qin Feng did not release the parachute, relying on the inertia of the plane to continue to slide, and after the speed slowed down, he gently stepped on the brakes, at this time, he turned his head, and he could see the row of F-16 parked on the ground, from this angle, it happened to be in front of the F-16, and you could see the landing gear outside the figure-eight, which was so exquisite, and the air intake under the belly of the plane was like a big mouth, and Qin Feng was ready to move again.

At the same time, he also saw a large number of Americans.

Although the United States does not directly station troops in Pakistan, there are not many staff officers and other personnel in the United States, especially now, Afghanistan on the side of Pakistan is engaged in a singing and crying defense war, and the United States exports F-16 to Pakistan, which is also for this reason, to use Pakistan as a position for the logistical support of the Afghan guerrillas.

Now, of course, the United States will send some of its advisers to the Peshawar base.

Here, there are Americans.

At the same time as Qin Feng's fighter plane landed, in the F-16 fleet, an American also raised his head and looked at this MiG, in their eyes, this is the MiG-21.

Thomas Ryan, the top U.S. adviser at the Peshawar base, is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the F-16s, but can also do other things.

For example, how strong are these two J-7Ms? They are really interested, although the country has also begun to order a batch of such fighters, but it will take some time for the specific agreement to be signed and the aircraft to be delivered.

And now, they were able to get up close and personal with the fighter and see how powerful it really was.

Usually, he likes to blow the air conditioner in the office of the base, but now, when he heard that these two planes were coming, he pretended to come out and watched these two planes land.

When the plane flew by, he could see the cockpit canopy, unlike the previous plane, there seemed to be an extra pair of anchor points under the wings, and now the two auxiliary fuel tanks hanging were also replaced with large ones, as for the rest, it is not clear.

It doesn't look like it's that powerful.

The fighter stopped, and then slid to the side of the tarmac, the ground command here is almost the same as in China, under the command of the ground staff, Qin Feng parked the plane, and then, opened the cockpit cover.

It's hot!

When he opened the canopy, Qin Feng felt a surge of heat, and he instantly felt like he was entering an oven.

No wonder the Batie brothers must pull the fighter over!

Different countries have different climates, for example, the tanks of the Soviets fought in cold regions, and they had the means to deal with how to operate at low temperatures, but the high temperatures were different.

Their tanks, exported to Iraq, have made the Iraqis so hard that they are simply steamers inside, and the engines are often overheated.

This is true for tanks, and the same is true for airplanes.

The domestic environment, such as Chengdu, is also hot and humid, but when you get here, there is still a gap, and the temperature here must be above 40 degrees now!

Can your equipment withstand this kind of climate? Especially the newly installed electronic devices are very delicate.

At this time, on the C-130, their ground staff and equipment have come down, and there are already ground crews carrying the gangway for boarding to come over, let Qin Feng come down, when Qin Feng stepped on the ladder, he thought of the Tomcat again, on the body of others, he has the equipment of the gangway, and he is thinking about people everywhere, this is a different way of thinking about the design of the fighter.

"I'll leave it to you, be sure to take care of it!" Qin Feng said: "It's hard work. ”

If it can't be maintained well and there is a problem, then the sale will be overshadowed, and these ground staff are actually more difficult.
