Although the Nazi Air Force's IG-9 fighters were inferior to the Warsaw Pact's J-11, the German Union's drastic tightening of intelligence controls made it difficult for agents in the Chinese Empire to obtain true data on the IG-9. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [.. In this way, it is difficult to determine the combat effectiveness of the IG-9 fighters, coupled with the large-scale production of IG-9 fighters by the German Air Force, the IG-9 fighters already have the ability to fight against the J-11A/B series fighters.

As a confrontation with the Nazi Air Force's IG-9 fighters, the Chinese Imperial Air Force approved the development of a new type of fighter and demanded the advantage of fighting for air supremacy in the next ten years.

After World War II, the abundant financial revenues of the Chinese Empire ensured the accelerated modernization of air force equipment. The major airlines are optimistic about the future development prospects of the jet aircraft field, so they have invested heavily in the development of the field of jet aircraft, so they have invested heavily in the development of the field of jet aircraft, so they have invested heavily in the development of the field of jet aircraft, so they have invested heavily in the development of the field of jet aircraft, so they have invested heavily in the development of the field of jet aircraft, so they have invested heavily in the development of the field of jet aircraft, so they have invested heavily in the development of the field of jet aircraft, so they have invested heavily in the development of the field∈, so they have invested heavily in the development of the field, and they have invested heavily in the development of the jet aircraft field, so they have invested heavily in the development of the jet aircraft field, and they have invested heavily in the development of the jet aircraft field.

When the Chinese Empire's armament expansion bill was promulgated, the large-scale arms race between the Chinese Empire and the German Union also began, and these aviation giants naturally did not want to miss this feast, so the competition became increasingly fierce.

In the end, after more than a dozen rounds of review by the Imperial Chinese Air Force Equipment Committee, the P-15 jet fighter of Jiangnan Heavy Industry Group defeated the other seven aviation industry giants of the Chinese Empire with excellent performance and low cost, and was selected into the list of standard equipment of the Chinese Imperial Air Force in the 50s.

According to the regulations on the development of equipment after the Chinese Empire, the equipment of the four armed forces of the Chinese Empire was updated every 10 years in peacetime, and it was separately formulated according to the needs of actual combat in wartime. Therefore, Jiangnan Heavy Industry's P-15 jet fighter will become the main fighter of the Chinese Imperial Air Force in the decade from Guanghua 50 to Guanghua 59.

The P15 was able to break out of the encirclement and was recognized by the Imperial Chinese Air Force, mainly because the aircraft was equipped with four 2mm cannons. In an aerial dogfight with an opponent, the P15's four 2mm cannons defeated the K-4, a seeded fighter from Royal Heavy Industries, armed with six 127mm heavy machine guns, in an aerial dogfight with their opponents.

During air combat exercises, the P15 inflicted a fatal blow on the K-4 with special 2 mm shells, which could destroy the K-4 with one or two shells. Turn. The K-4's 127mm machine gun hit the P-15 fighter several times, with a maximum of 133 rounds, but after the P-15 landed, the pilots were shocked to find that the P15's structure was still intact, the pilots were still theoretically safe, and the fighter plane's protection was extremely good.

In the final assessment report, the Air Commission concluded that the German Union's MiG-9 fighters had been fitted with 37 mm guns. It was decided that the K4 127-mm heavy machine gun could no longer meet the needs of real combat, so the P15 was adopted.

After the P-15 was selected as the main fighter of the Imperial Chinese Air Force in the fifties, it was numbered J-15 in the combat sequence of the Imperial Chinese Air Force. Originally, it was supposed to be given the J-12, but it was abandoned in consideration of the strategic confusion of the true and false in the Western world. This would cause the German Air Force to consider that the Chinese Empire had completed the development of the J-12, J-13, and J-14 fighters. Inflict invisible pressure on them.

As the first jet fighter of the Imperial Chinese Air Force after the war, the J-15 has been equipped with more than 4 aircraft in order to counter the IG-9 of the German Union, and has been equipped with more than 4 aircraft, becoming the main fighter of the Imperial Chinese Air Force in the fifties.

Compared with the J-11 fighter, the engine performance of the J-15 fighter has been greatly improved, using one J65-16A turbo engine with a thrust of 343 kN. Its wingspan is 1,191 meters and its length is 117 meters. It is 424 meters high, has a swept wing layout, and has a speed of 11 km/h. Its design uses a large number of magnesium and aluminum alloy materials, with an empty weight of only 5992 kg and a range of up to 224 kilometers with full fuel load. In particular, it is equipped with four 2 mm cannons, with 1 round of ammunition, and the firepower is extremely fierce. It carries various electronic warfare systems, such as radar systems, which are much more advanced than those of the J-11.

J-15 fighters were used to suppress NATO's IG-9 fighters, but in fact, jet fighters such as E35, J-1, and FT-33 developed by the German Union were not opponents of J-15, and in the Transcaucasian local war in the fifties, Warsaw Pact's J-15 fighter alone created a world record of shooting down 77 NATO fighters, making the J-15 fighter an international star in the fifties. More than 20,000 aircraft have been exported. Until the end of the eighties. The shadow of such fighters can still be seen in backward African regions.

At the same time that the J-15 fighter was selected for the Imperial Chinese Air Force, the Royal Heavy Industries Group, which failed in the bidding, submitted another K-14 fighter to the Naval Armament Committee for testing and was approved, becoming the standard carrier-based fighter of the Imperial Chinese Naval Air Force in the fifties.

The K-14 received the designation F-12 from the Committee for the Nomenclature of Carrier-Based Fighters of the Naval Aviation to replace the F-6 Wildcat carrier-based fighter in active service in naval aviation.

Compared with the F6 shipfight, the F12 carrier-based fighter has greatly improved its overall performance. The machine was developed in the 46th year of Guanghua, and the original number was K14-BK. The prototype made its first test flight in March 47 and was officially delivered to the Imperial Chinese Navy two years later.

The F-12 was the first carrier-based supersonic fighter of the Imperial Chinese Navy. The speed of sound was broken on the first flight. At the same time, it was also the last aircraft designed by the Chinese Empire to use cannons as its main weapon, so the pilots of the F-12 often called themselves "the last gunslinger".

As the main fighter of the Imperial Chinese Navy in the fifties, the F-12 was one of the main carrier-based fighters of the Imperial Chinese Navy until the mid-sixties due to its excellent performance.

Of course, this is also directly related to the opponent being too weak. After all, the Commonwealth of Germany countries are very backward in the development of aircraft carriers, and they have been using taxing and take-off technology to replace the embarrassment of their steam catapult technology. At the same time, jet fighters require a fairly high technical content for take-off and landing on aircraft carriers, and the German naval aviation simply cannot reach that kind of technical level and equipment support capabilities, so under the limited technology, the German naval aviation has always used land-based fighters. It only needs to be slightly modified to fold the wings and add a tail hook and other relatively low-tech content to build the unique naval carrier-based aircraft force of the German Union.

As a super-naval power, the Chinese Empire has always been a leader in aircraft carrier technology and naval aviation preparation technology, and has the world's only large-scale comprehensive naval training center, where most of all the naval aviation of the Warsaw Pact countries have been trained. The monopoly of steam catapult technology, which allowed carrier-based jet fighters to take off over short distances, was not a problem for the Imperial Chinese Navy in terms of naval aviation. The German Navy was far behind by the Imperial Chinese Navy, forcing the German Navy to make a fuss about other surface ships in order to overtake the Imperial Chinese Navy.

It is precisely because of these factors that the F12 warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy have always maintained a leading position over the fighters of the German Union naval aviation, so it is difficult for the Imperial Chinese Cabinet to approve the replacement of new aircraft for the naval aviation.

F12 has been greatly used in this environment. The main types are: Type A. Single-seat day fighters, a total of 3 limited all-weather types were produced, a total of 1 reconnaissance type was produced, a total of 144 units were produced. type, a modification of the Type A, strengthened air combat capabilities, a total of 1 limited all-weather type was produced, the speed was close to twice the speed of sound, a total of 15 improved versions of the Type, a total of 26 aircraft were produced. F-12E, ordered by the British Navy and the Turkish Navy, a total of 142 units were produced.

Overall. The F12 is characterized by the use of variable installation angle wings, during take-off and landing, the hydraulic self-locking actuator on the aircraft can increase the wing installation angle by 7 degrees, which not only increases lift, but also makes the fuselage basically parallel to the flight deck or runway, so as to avoid affecting the pilot's vision due to the nose lifting, and the wing returns to its original position when level flight. Other than that. The outer section of the wing is foldable upwards for easy parking on the ship.

The F-12 has an empty weight of 17 kg, a normal take-off weight of 133 kg, a maximum take-off weight of 1542 kg, and an in-flight fuel capacity of 63 liters. As the pride of naval aviation, the F12 can be refueled in the air. This has become a shining point in the field of aviation all over the world. Since the day the F12 entered service with the Chinese Imperial Navy, it has been concerned by the navies of all countries around the world.

Of course, the F12's popularity is still supported by its powerful performance. Its maximum level flight speed is 2124 km/h, and the practical ceiling is 17 meters. Because it is a carrier-based fighter, its combat radius naturally cannot be compared with the J15, only 37-kilometer, and the transfer range is only 225 kilometers.

In terms of weapons, Royal Heavy Industries lost to Jiangnan Heavy Industries in the competition for orders from the Air Force, so the weapons and equipment of the F12 have also been greatly adjusted. The nose is equipped with four 2 mm cannons, each with four rounds in reserve. There are two weapon pylons on each side of the fuselage, which can be used to mount rockets, and two more pylons were added to the F-12E produced later, which can carry air-to-air missiles and aerial bombs, with a maximum bomb load of 227 kg.

However, although the Chinese Imperial Naval Aviation has advanced F12 ship warfare, this does not mean that naval aviation has always been smooth sailing.

Due to the harsh training conditions of naval pilots, the risk of taking off and landing at sea is extremely high. From the day of its establishment, the naval aviation of the Chinese Empire was indispensable for sacrifice. However, the casualties of the early propeller ship battles were still very low. In the era of jet warfare, casualties were on the rise, and the Navy Command repeatedly called off flight training to reduce casualties.

In total, 1261 F-12 fighters were built in the Imperial Chinese Navy. By the time F-12 fighters were retired from active service in the Navy, 116 had crashed in accidents, and only a small fraction of them had been shot down in wars such as the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Gulf campaigns. Due to engine failure, pilot error, weather or bad luck, a large number of F-12 fighter jets (%) crashed to the ground, fell into the water, or turned into a raging fireball on the flight deck. This period of aviation history of the Imperial Chinese Navy is a period from 1947 to 19. Until the early nineties, the crash rate of jet planes of the Imperial Chinese Navy was less than 10,000 flight hours, making accidents extremely unusual and accidental. This is in stark contrast to the situation in Guanghua's 54th year, when naval aviation (Navy and Marine Corps combined) lost a total of 776 aircraft and 535 crew members during that year, which was much higher than the crash rate of 5 times per 10,000 flight hours. Moreover, the crash rate of carrier-based tactical aircraft is much higher than this one.

During this long process of transformation, the naval aviation of the Chinese Empire was involved in a total of six major wars and numerous crises, and of course, many aircraft and crews were lost under enemy fire. However, most jets are damaged in accidents. In other words, in the two or three decades between the F-12 fighter's service and its retirement, a large number of careless crew members lost their lives because of the aircraft's poor operational performance and maintainability. In the maritime environment facing many challenges, the pilots of the Imperial Chinese Navy bravely sacrificed their lives and maintained the world hegemony of the Imperial Chinese Navy during the Sino-German Cold War.
