Chapter 705: Moscow Air Show
"Soviets, this is a demonstration to us!" Just as the film began to play on one side of the Berlin Wall, the reaction of the NATO bloc was extremely strong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the Allied High Command in Europe, there was a curse.
"The Soviets must be using special effects, we absolutely don't believe that the Soviets' planes can do that kind of maneuvering!" Günter Lahr, the most famous air commander of the former West Germany, was once an ace pilot in World War II, having shot down nearly three hundred planes in the war! Historically, he left the army after 75 years, but now, because of tensions in Europe, he has rejoined the Air Force and served as a military attaché to NATO.
As an experienced pilot, an old bird who has been crawling and rolling on the battlefield, of course he knows that he can have such maneuvers in air combat, that is, to slow down the speed of his fighter plane, and then let the other party rush over, and then he can bite the tail in reverse, but it is definitely not like what he saw in the movie, the other party actually pulled out an incredible action with an angle of attack of more than 90 degrees!
It's okay to fool ordinary spectators with this kind of show-off maneuver, but you are an authority in the flight world, and in that case, the plane would have stalled and crashed long ago!
It must be a stunt in the studio! The Soviets were disgusting!
Now, the feature film of the movie is not finished, it is just an opening tidbit, but this movie has spread all over the free world! In addition to the Soviets on the Berlin Wall, now, in various cinemas, tickets for this movie have been sold out, and those damned businessmen do not care about the interests of the country at all, and only think about making money for themselves!
"I think we should also make a similar film to promote our air force." The representative of the United States said: "In terms of advanced fighters, we in the Western world are not bad, our F-15, F-16, are the most advanced fighters. ”
It's a pity, who would have thought that the Soviets would be shameless to such an extent and use movies to hit the confidence of the Western world! Moreover, even if the United States shoots a movie, the effect will not be as good as that of the Soviet Union, because the footage shot by the Soviet Union has American F-15 fighters, but when the United States is shooting, it cannot find the Su-27 of the Soviets as a foil!
"Everyone, be quiet." At this moment, the NATO Secretary General appeared, and he said to the group of military attaches who were shouting: "This is another challenge from the Soviets!" Moscow announced that an air show will be held in Moscow half a month later, that is, when the film is officially released! He also invited us the NATO bloc to visit! ”
Airshow!
Since the Wright brothers completed the first manned powered flight at the beginning of this century, opening a new page in the history of human aviation, flying into the sky has become a desirable activity, and two years later, in some industrial countries, some mass flight activities began to appear. This kind of spontaneous air gathering organized by aviation enthusiasts without the slightest commercial color is the prototype of the modern international air show.
Just seven years later, the world's first systematically organized national air show: the Paris Air Show was launched in France. The Gallic chickens were very business-minded, using static displays of aircraft with the aim of preserving the aviation heritage to create business opportunities, and the air show quickly developed into an arena for French aircraft manufacturers to showcase their warplanes and compete for military orders. After World War II, the Paris Air Show broke further beyond borders and developed into an international event.
Since then, the Paris Air Show has become the world's largest recognized aerospace technology exchange and trade gathering, where advanced fighters, passenger aircraft, etc., will be displayed or static to show the leading achievements of each country, publicity, and desire to get more orders.
After that, the British were not far behind and also held the Farnborough Air Show, but unfortunately it could only be the second in the millennium and could not shake the status of the Paris Air Show.
As for Moscow, there has never been an air show, and Moscow does not bother to take this approach from the West.
Unlike the West, the overall scientific and technological strength of the Warsaw Pact countries is very weak, so the function of the Warsaw Pact countries is to spend money to order Soviet fighters, and there is no other choice, and the Soviet Union does not have to sell its own fighters.
In later generations, it was almost not until the Gotu period that Soviet fighters began to appear frequently at Western air shows, and the results were a blockbuster.
As for the Moscow Air Show, it was after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Russia's independence, and the main purpose of Russia's air show was probably to sell arms.
And now, at the height of the Cold War confrontation and the aggressiveness of the Soviets, this air show they held, of course, also has a deep meaning, I am afraid it is still to put pressure on the Western world!
Hum! In the face of the provocation of the Soviets, how could the free world of the West not take it!
When it became known that the Soviets were holding an air show and inviting the Western world to visit, the Western world was ready to move.
Just sending someone to visit? How can that work! As is customary, air shows are not just about showcasing the country's aerospace achievements, other countries also have the right to show their own achievements!
"Just send our Tornado!" The British representative said: "This is our most advanced variable-sweep wing fighter!" ”
The Tornado fighter is a product of European unity, Britain, Germany, and Italy jointly established the Panavia Aircraft Company to produce a fighter suitable for Europe, but this model of multinational cooperation is destined to be a product of mutual compromise, the first to produce is a fighter-bomber, and later, Britain has developed an air defense interceptor type on the basis of this fighter.
Although compared with the American fighters, it has fallen behind, but after all, this is the crystallization of the most advanced industry in Europe, especially the air defense interception type, which has just been developed in 81 years and joined the British Air Force, and has undertaken the task of intercepting Soviet bombers.
It is just right to go with this kind of plane and let the Soviets know that Europe is not weak and can be bullied, and if the Soviets want to start a war, then they will have to pay the price of blood!
It can be said that the Soviets have been pressing step by step recently, and they have driven the Europeans to the brink of madness, and they must give the Soviets something awesome! This Moscow Air Show is a stage for competing with each other!
"No, so far, the Soviets don't know the various parameters of our Tornado fighters, if we go to Moscow, there is a possibility that the Soviets will crack the secrets of our fighters, we should send known fighters over, and at the same time, the performance of this fighter should also surpass the Soviets' fighters." The representative of the United States said: "We, the United States, can send a new model that is not a new model!" All kinds of performance are enough to be able to suppress the fighters of the Soviets! (To be continued.) )
