Chapter 526: Imaginary Enemy

Although it was closer to Islamabad from Karachi, after flying to Islamabad, Wang Dong and Hussein drove to the outskirts of the base.

Yunlong flew directly to the air base in Rawalpindi, and then rushed over by helicopter.

As a result, he was only fifteen minutes behind Wang Dong.

By the time he arrived, Wang Dong had already mobilized the hundreds of operatives who remained at the base, so that everyone was ready for battle.

Of course, it's just getting ready.

It is said to be a base, but it is actually a military camp.

Two years ago, after coming to Pakistan, Wang Dong signed a training contract with the Pakistani military through Musharraf, Hussein and others, and the "Angu" company obtained the qualification to establish a base in the name of helping Pakistan train military technicians.

After that, Musharraf and Hussein stepped in and bought the land from the local tribes.

Initially, it was true that only skilled personnel, especially pilots, were trained.

To this end, Wang Dong not only established the D&F Pakistan Company, but also established the "Young Eagle" Aviation Leasing Company, went to China to purchase more than a dozen JL-9 and JL-10 advanced training aircraft, and hired a group of Huaxia pilots to provide services specifically for the Pakistan Air Force.

Later, after the procurement of JF-20 fighters in Pakistan, the first pilots were trained by the company "Angu".

Because of the attentive service and the opportunity to confront the instructors, it was not long before Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries became customers of the "Angu" company.

With the expansion of business, Wang Dong separated the aviation training department and established the "Angu Aviation Training" company.

Of course, not only fighter pilots, but also civilian pilots.

Last year, Angu Aviation Training opened a branch in the UAE to serve members of the UAE royal family, as well as customers from other wealthy countries.

It's just that the main business is still fighter pilot training.

After more than a year of development, Angu Aviation Training has become the largest aviation training company in South Asia, training hundreds of pilots for Pakistan.

In addition, the size of the fleet has been expanded to hundreds of aircraft.

Here alone, there are 20 JL-10 and 10 JL-9 advanced trainers, 45 second-hand K-8 intermediate trainers and 50 primary trainers of various models.

At its peak, there are hundreds of takeoffs and landings per day.

As for the instructors recruited, there were more than 200 people, half of whom had at least 2,000 hours of flight time, and all of them came from fighter units.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

A few months ago, Angu Aviation Service signed a contract with the Pakistan Air Force to accept 20 second-hand JF-17 fighter jets over the next five years, and commissioned Pakistani companies to modify them to serve as imaginary enemies.

When the time comes, "Angu Aviation Service" will play the role of an imaginary enemy unit of the Pakistan Air Force.

In fact, in the UAE branch, the pilots dispatched by the "Angu Aviation Service" have already begun to act as imaginary enemies of the Arab League Air Force.

It is the JF-17 that was previously purchased by Saudi Arabia from Pakistan and later aided to Iraq.

The pilots of these fighters were all retired pilots from Huaxia.

Of course, the key is not the fighter, but the pilot.

Why?

Almost all of these pilots from China have flown the Su-27SK and Su-30MKK, with at least 2,000 hours of flight time, and some of them have also carried out combat readiness patrol missions in the East China Sea.

In the imaginary enemy forces, they play the role of the Iranian Air Force with Russian fighters.

Although the JF-17 is not the best choice, after removing all the non-essential equipment, reducing the weight of the fighter, and modifying the flight control software, the JF-17 can imitate 90% of the tactical movements of the Su-30M, which can also make the Arab League pilots involved in the confrontation experience the horror of the Russian fighter.

Of course, it was the pilots who flew these fighters that were scary.

You know, these elite pilots with more than 2,000 hours of flight time are the air supremacy.

Confrontation training with them has benefits that cannot be measured in value.

As for the price, it will not be cheap.

For these pilots to fly the JF-17 into the air for an hour of confrontation training, they have to pay at least $1.5 million, and they will be compensated according to the price in case of accidents.

Don't say it's expensive.

Air forces in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Kuwait have been lining up, and the confrontation training schedule has been scheduled for five years.

Why?

Iran!

After the end of the civil war in Iraq, Iran not only received 30 Su-30Ms acquired during the war, but also increased the scale of purchases.

According to conservative estimates, the Iranian Su-30M has already reached 60 units.

In addition, Iran is also trying to acquire the Su-35B.

Because India has withdrawn from the Su-57 project, it is quite possible that Russia will be the first to export to Iran after the Su-57 is finalized.

Why?

Of the buyers that Russia was able to find, only Iran had a strong interest in the Su-57 and could afford that much money.

Whether it acquires the Su-35B or the more advanced Su-57, the Iranian Air Force will surpass the Arab countries in the south of the Gulf in terms of equipment performance.

Apparently, several Arab League countries are looking for a fourth-generation fighter in the true sense of the word.

It's just that before acquiring fourth-generation fighters, the Arab League countries can rely on only existing fighters, so improving the capabilities of pilots has become the key.

At this time, the unique service provided by "Angu Aviation Service" is irreplaceable.

It can be said that in this field, there is really no company that can compete with "Angu Aviation Services".

Although in the past two years, some Western private defense contractors have followed the example of "Angu" and have begun to provide customers with high-end services such as pilot training and confrontation training, but in the world, except for Russia, no company can find pilots who are familiar with Russian fighter jets.

Obviously, the Arab League countries will certainly not cooperate with Russia's private defense contractors.

It is precisely in this way that "Angu Aviation Service" has become the branch with the highest profit margin and the most famous branch under the "Angu Group".

If anything, the main thing is the lack of good enough fighters.

The JF-17 can imitate the Russian fighter, but it is not realistic, and there are still some performance deficiencies, so there are many conditions that need to be set when conducting confrontation training.

Of course, this problem is not likely to be solved immediately.

After all, this is only an imaginary enemy force.

In a few more years, when fourth-generation fighters are massively popularized and fighters like the JF-20 are lowered, it will be possible to solve this problem.

It's just that by that time, it will be not enemy aircraft like the Su-30 that need to be imitated, but fourth-generation fighters like the Su-57.
