In fact, in recent years, both the United States and the Soviet Union have developed quite rapidly in science and technology, and this is originally an era of technological frenzy.

Taking aviation technology as an example, not only F108 and F111 are about to test flights, even Valkyrie has started the manufacture of the first test flight model, and the first Blackbird has also begun to be manufactured, and the C141 has entered the test flight in terms of large transport aircraft, and it is estimated that it will be delivered in one year at most, and the A6 attack aircraft that is matched with the Satan battle has just been officially put into service not long ago, and the other E2 and E3 early warning aircraft are progressing smoothly, and even the P3 anti-submarine aircraft were delivered earlier this year.

However, there has been little progress in civilian airliners.

Boeing collapsed, the 707 and 727 series could only barely maintain under the protection policy of the American government, and could only rely on the military to make a living, Douglas was ambitious, and bet on the DC10 with three engines in the same dismal situation of DC8 and DC9. And according to the business intelligence obtained by Yang Feng, because Airbus can't be defeated alone, including Boeing and Douglas, many American aviation giants are planning to form an alliance to fight against this giant, Boeing has suffered heavy losses because of the nuclear bomb strike, and has not yet been able to recover, so it is very likely that this alliance will be centered on Douglas and Lockheed.

The latter is also developing the L1011 Samsung airliner, but this will compete with the DC10, in the case of the Airbus army, this is tantamount to self-destruction, but if it is a cooperation, it is different, and what they plan to use to defeat Airbus should be a supersonic airliner.

In terms of helicopters, most of the famous models in later generations have appeared, and the most important ones in development in the United States are CH53 and Cheyenne, of course, the latter is not a helicopter, but a rotorcraft.

However, this aircraft is obviously a pit, although Lockheed is progressing quite smoothly, but the high maintenance costs that the expensive price and complex structure inevitably bring, so that the Pentagon has begun to waver, it is obvious that even if this epoch-making fighter is developed, it is estimated that no one will buy it except for the United States. And even the United States cannot be equipped in large quantities like the locust-like cobra in the Ming army, let alone equip almost all combat brigades, after all, Yang Feng's cobra is too cheap.

However, the Bell Copycat Cobra, which was shelved by Eisenhower because of his face, has now begun to attract the attention of the Pentagon.

After all, they're really shy of money now.

Whether to be tall or put up with a little ridicule for a cheap low-end product is becoming a multiple-choice question for Kennedy and McNamara.

As for the development of the bald man, it is also remarkable, not to mention that the MiG-21 alone is enough to make the US military miserable, not to mention that he also has the MiG-23 and MiG-25, and there are also the Tu-22 that has just entered service, the Tu-160 that has just started ahead of schedule, the Sukhoi ongoing variable sweep wing Su-17, and the Yak-36 that Yakforev is developing......

Well, this isn't the VTOL technology demonstrator, and in fact they don't have anything in common except for the same name.

This Yak-36 is the successor model of the Yak-25 carrier-based aircraft, and it is also a tall variable sweep wing, as for what something was finally made, even Yang Feng does not know, after all, this is never before in the original history, it is estimated that with the technical level of the Soviets, it should not be worse than the MiG-23, because it is a more important carrier-based aircraft, and it is even likely to exceed the MiG-23.

In fact, the next-generation carrier-based aircraft of the United States and the Soviet Union have been determined to be variable swept wings.

In terms of transport aircraft, the An-22 has already been test-flown and it is estimated that the next step should be to start developing the Il-76, and the Tu-126 early warning aircraft has also begun to fly test, and there is even a carrier-based early warning aircraft being developed in Antonov, although these are slightly inferior to those of the United States and Europe, but they are still closely behind.

In terms of helicopters, the Mi-8 is about to be put into service, the Ka-25 is being developed, and even the Mi-24 project has been launched in advance, it should be said that in this field, the technological gap between the Soviet Union and the West is the smallest, especially the Ka-25 is even more advanced.

Therefore, the scientific and technological development of Daming is indeed eye-catching, but it definitely does not make the pursuers despair, so it is good, the gap is too big, people can't play with you, to give others hope, to give others the confidence to catch up, a little room not to leave others, no one dares to guarantee that they will do anything irrational under despair. Since conventional weapons can't play with you, of course people will turn their hopes to nuclear bombs, Yang Feng doesn't want his fighter jets to confront the United States in the future, and there will be a Falcon air-to-air missile with a nuclear warhead on the opposite side.

This thing is pretty bad, and it's better to expect it to hit a fighter than to expect a pig to go up to a tree, but if it has a nuclear warhead with a yield of several hundred tons, it probably has no flaws.

If he really wants to completely force the United States and the Soviet Union to the point of all-nuclear bombs against himself, then it will be difficult for Yang to have any fun, after all, his ideal is to hold a beautiful woman in his left hand and a wine glass in his right hand, drunk and dreaming of death in decay and degeneration, instead of standing on the wasteland and leading a bunch of strangely shaped nuclear radiation offspring and singing an ode to the end times.

But now Yang Feng still has a problem that needs to be solved urgently, what will his next-generation carrier-based aircraft use? His land-based fighters have been identified as Eagle and Sister Pomegranate, but the carrier-based aircraft has not yet been determined.

"What do you want? Turning into a swept wing? Ordinary wings? Heavy? Medium? Special-purpose air supremacy fighters? Versatility? ”

Yang Feng asked his chief of the General Staff of the Navy, Wu Zurong.

"To change the swept wing, you must change the swept wing."

The latter said with a resolute face, and it was clear that he was also in fashion.

"But the swept wing will be very large, even larger than the ghost, so that it will be difficult for our Kunlun, Yingtian, and Shuntian aircraft carriers to carry too much, even if they are transformed, after all, the tonnage is there, especially the Kunlun does not even have the meaning of transformation, and it is estimated that the Fengtian-class aircraft carrier can be used." In addition, the maintenance cost of the swept wing is quite high, so if you choose to change the swept wing, it will cost more money, and I am not going to put any pressure on Congress on this matter, so you have to deal with the members of Congress yourself, if they agree, then we will change the swept wing, if they don't agree, then we will do something else, in short, this matter is decided by Congress. ”

Yang Feng said.

He just took this opportunity to put Daming's weapons procurement on the right track, and basically what he said was nothing, but this obviously didn't work, he wanted a normal country, not one where he patted his head and decided everything. If Wu Zurong can get the Congress, then make them a big cat, and it is directly a big cat D level, anyway, his engine performance is enough to meet, and in the future, he will gradually get a super cat silent cat and other upgrades, if Wu Zurong can't get the Congress, but can still get the project of heavy aircraft, then get the J-15, if the Congress wants a cheap medium machine, then you can only play with bugs, and directly based on the super bugs with extended edges, it can basically meet the needs of air combat.

Anyway, he doesn't have much pressure in this regard, the limit that the people of the United States can do in the next twenty years is the immortal bird, as for whether the F111 can be developed into a carrier-based aircraft, it is difficult to say, although the people of the United States are based on the common project of the two armies, but the problem is that they still do not have a catapult that can eject this thing.

This thing is too heavy, the normal take-off weight is to the limit of the catapult, and the huge size can't bring a few even the Nimitz class, the big cat is already big enough, it actually grows three meters longer than the big cat, such a behemoth is obviously not suitable for aircraft carriers, after all, the hangar is so small area, so whether the Mi people will continue to develop this thing is still an unknown, and it is not impossible to get off the horse halfway.

As for the immortal birds......

A missile designed to hit bombers, although the data on paper is very unnatural, but if you want to shoot down a third-generation aircraft that is mainly mobile at hundreds of kilometers, it is almost impossible, and it is also the high-altitude and high-speed fighters that bullied Xiaosa during the Iran-Iraq war, and mainly because the latter's radar warning device is too bad and defenseless, and it is almost useless when it comes to the Gulf War.

So the threat of this missile to him can be ignored, whether he builds a big cat, a flying shark or a bug, he will not really be threatened by the immortal bird, and after his carrier-based aircraft is hung up with the AIM120, it can maintain a large enough advantage over any fighter in the next twenty years.

Even if it's a MiG-25 or a light saber.

Even the Sparrow M can shoot down the flying fox, let alone the AIM120, as for the light saber, the performance of this fighter is not necessarily stronger than the flying fox, and it may even be worse, after all, it is much larger than the flying fox.

That is to say, no matter what he builds, he will be invincible in twenty years.

As for twenty years later, he himself doesn't know how far to evolve, maybe even the fourth-generation aircraft will be on the ship, of course, he will definitely not make fertilizer electricity, but the F22 seems to be able to be transformed to make a carrier-based version, in short, at this stage his carrier-based aircraft selection is not too stressful.

In this way, he left the choice of a new generation of carrier-based aircraft to Congress, and the rest is up to the generals of the Department of Defense and the Navy to fool the congressmen, who are now becoming more and more difficult to speak. If everyone used to have the idea of playing with him and making him happy, this country is completely his toy anyway, but as Daming grows stronger, those parliamentarians have really regarded this as their own country, and it is no longer his playhouse, and they have their own ideas on some things, and the veto of his proposal also happens from time to time.

Of course, this is a good thing, which means that the Ming Empire has really solidified.

But in the same way, it means that if Wu Zurong wants to fool the Congress, he has to really show some skills, anyway, he won't care about this matter. (To be continued.) )
