Chapter 610: Looks like it's awesome
This answer made Hamid on the side also nodded, it is precisely because of this that he came here to buy Tomcat fighters, as a result, he was not well considered, he should not buy the same model of fighters as the Iranians, and there are no advanced immortal bird missiles that can be used.
Who knows, but Mhammad shook his head: "No, our air battle can be won, not only by relying on Tomcat fighters, but more importantly, by relying on electronic technology, relying on advanced electronic technology in the West." ”
"The radar of the Tomcat fighter can find the target from a distance of 100 kilometers, and every time we fight in the air, we have the assistance of early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft, and modern air combat and electronic technology have become the key to victory. Even the Soviets' Su-27 fighters will be jammed by us in air battles, their radar anti-jamming ability is weak, and every time they take off to fight, they are almost deaf and blind, and the missiles they launch can be jammed by us. After saying it in one breath, Mhammad came to a conclusion: "In modern air combat, the fighter platform is important, however, the electronic system is even more important!" The Soviets have always been intoxicated by the circuitry of vacuum tubes, which has led to their huge electronic systems, high energy consumption, and small performance, such as the MiG-25, although the power of the radar is quite high, and it is said that it can burn through rabbits, however, the performance of the radar is quite limited, and there is not even a synthetic aperture mode to the ground. ”
Iraq has always been using Soviet equipment, and they also have the MiG-25, so they know that what Mhammad said is absolutely right, Iraq also has legal fighters, and a comparison, you can find that the legal radar system is more advanced than the Soviet Union's, and it is useless to only have high power, complete functions and high performance are important.
But what does this have to do with the model in front of you?
"Electronics. It is constantly improving, and the more aircraft are developed, the easier it is to use more advanced electronic technology. "For example, our self-developed third-generation aircraft uses an LCD screen display, and the entire cockpit is quite simple. Radar is the latest model developed by us, with low energy consumption, advanced performance, and various forms such as air-to-air, ground-to-ground, Doppler and single pulse, especially the synthetic aperture mode can be carried out on the ground to enhance the ground attack capability. Our flight control and fire control are cross-linked, which is more convenient and faster to operate. Using the 1553B data bus technology, the various airborne equipment is integrated to improve performance, and the comprehensive combat capability of our fighter definitely exceeds that of the F-16 fighter, which can reach 80% of the Tomcat fighter. Mhammad said.
A series of technical language surprised the engineers on the side, Mr. President. Can you really blow it, and the flight control and fire control are cross-linked? And eighty percent of the Tomcat? The purpose of the development at that time. But it's 80 percent of the performance of the F-16 fighter.
"What's that 20 percent difference?" Hamid asked.
"Long-range air combat, our fighters, cannot guide ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles like the Immortal Bird." "In addition to long-range volleys, our mid-range air combat and close-range combat are very good, and we are not lagging behind in close-range combat with Tomcats," Mhammad said. ”
Mhammad's words. Saddam Hussein fooled, it is true, the progress of electronic technology is changing with each passing day, although Pakistan has only developed this fighter, but. In a few years, when it is developed, it will definitely be more advanced than the existing fighters. I've never heard of those terms, but they sound powerful.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see our cabin simulation." Mhammad continued.
Cabin simulation? The engineers on the side were a little stunned, in fact, the research and development of the Thunder Dragon fighter, although Pakistan also sent a group of engineers to assist, but they were all developed in Chengfei, here, in fact, it is just such a model, besides, this fighter has just been manufactured a wooden prototype, where did the cabin simulator come from?
However, since the president said that there is, then there must be! Watching the president take these people out, the engineer suddenly thought that what the president asked them to see should be the cabin simulator of the J-10!
Because Pakistan has maintained good relations with Huaxia, and the cooperation between the two sides in the field of military industry is even more extensive, although Huaxia's strictly secret Jian-10 fighter is not a secret to Pakistan, moreover, Pakistan has introduced a set of Jian-10 fighter cabin simulators in order to develop the cockpit of the new Tomcat fighter.
Although the rear fuselage of the J-10 is completely different from that of the Thunder, the first half is almost the same, both are the front fuselage of the F-16, and this cabin simulator is only the first half, so even if you are an expert engineer, you will definitely not see any flaws!
President Muhammad is truly a god! With adoration in his eyes, the engineer hurried to the front to lead the way.
In another lab, a model was sitting quietly, with only one nose and various wiring harnesses behind it, connected to a computer at the other end.
Hamid, the commander of the Air Force, is a pilot who has flown a variety of planes, and he first kicked the steps and looked into the cockpit.
In front of the ejection seat, there is the dashboard, which is quite simple inside! There are almost no instruments, all of which have been replaced by three LCD displays. Thanks to the reduction of the gauges, the front view is also wider.
"Our new fighter adopts the latest achievements of electronic technology, adopts a glass cockpit, and has a layout of one flat and three down." The engineer knew his responsibilities and immediately explained: "A flat refers to a heads-up display, which can be seen at a heads-up view, which shows the most useful information in air combat, and the pilot can win the initiative in the fierce battle by reading the information displayed on the head-up display as quickly as possible in air combat." The three clicks refer to the three multi-function LCD displays below, which respectively display information such as fire control, radar, electronic map, flight attitude, etc., which need to be seen by looking down. This kind of display is much stronger than looking at those discrete instruments, and our cockpit is more advanced than the European cockpit, and it has reached the synchronization with American technology. ”
Hamid watched it with great interest, this thing is really sci-fi! If he hadn't seen it, he would never have dared to think that technology has developed to such a point!
At the moment when I was watching, the cockpit had been powered on, various screens were lit up, and after the self-test, various information began to be displayed.
Hamid looked at it very seriously. Although he didn't actually know what it was, it seemed to be very powerful.
"Advances in electronics will make it easier for pilots to fly, and it's pretty clear that pilots can see what's going on at a glance. So that the pilot can concentrate all his energy and deal with air combat. Mhammad said on the side: "The cockpit of this fighter is much more advanced than our current Tomcat fighter. ”
This sci-fi cockpit conquered Hamid and Saddam's heart, watching Hamid come down, Saddam Hussein also sat in, asked this and that, and moved the operating stick. It's as if you can fly an airplane.
"We can consider importing this fighter." Coming down from above, Saddam Hussein said: "However, we need to see the actual machine." ”
Although it has been fooled quite lightly, such a major matter as the introduction of the Air Force's main combat aircraft cannot be decided rashly, and the current Saddam Hussein is only inclined to procure. But after all, the research and development is not yet complete.
And hearing Saddam's words, Muhammad knew that his efforts today were not in vain. Now that they have been tempted, a few more flickering, maybe they can really let them import a batch.
Anyway, this aircraft was originally developed for export, and Iraq imported a batch of them, which can be regarded as a good start.
"We were amazed by Pakistan's technological capabilities." "We are very pleased to see that our Pakistani friends have come to the forefront of the world in many fields," Saddam said. In addition to aviation, your aerospace sector is also making rapid progress. ”
Re-entering a conference room, with only heavyweights on both sides, Saddam let out his own exclamation.
Aerospace! Pakistan has been engaged in exploration in the field of space. Another rocket launched last year is already a second-stage rocket, and although it has not yet reached the ability to launch satellites, it is constantly improving.
Now, hearing Saddam Hussein say this, Mahmad knows that Saddam Hussein has something to say.
"Now that the country allows, we in Pakistan want to explore the vast expanse of space." "We are going to conduct two more tests this year and send our first satellite into space," Mhammad said. ”
"We in Iraq, too, have some sounding rockets." Saddam said: "It's a pity that the performance is too poor, especially the guidance performance, I don't know if our Pakistani friends are interested in helping us to transform it." ”
Iraq's sounding rockets? Saddam Hussein really knows how to change his name! Mhammad thought in his heart and said tentatively: "Is it a Hussein-type sounding rocket?" ”
The Iran-Iraq war ended in a battle between the two sides, and the weapons at that time were the Scud missiles, which were replaced by more advanced models of missiles by the Soviets, and began to spread to the Warsaw Pact countries.
Back in '73, Egypt and Syria were already using Scud missiles imported from the Soviet Union against targets in Israel.
Although there were no results at that time, Saddam Hussein saw the power of ballistic missiles, and in 74 years, Iraq purchased about 20 to 36 9P117 missile launchers and an unknown number of "Scud" missiles from the Soviet Union to form the 224th Missile Brigade.
After several years of fighting with Iran, the two sides finally used Scud missiles and began to fight each other, and Iran's Scud missiles were obtained from Libya.
As a result, Saddam Hussein was very depressed in this contest, because Iraq's strategic depth is shallow, and the Scud missiles with a range of 300 kilometers can hit the Iraqi capital Baghdad from the border, but they cannot hit the Iranian capital Tehran from the border.
Enraged, Saddam Hussein pleaded with the Soviet Union to provide him with longer-range missiles, but Moscow ignored them. As a result, Iraqi engineers disassembled and reassembled the three Scuds, dismantled one of them, attached fuel tanks to the other missiles, added fuel, and assembled two new missiles, which were named Hussein missiles.
The propellant of the Hussein missile increased by 1040 kg, while the warhead was reduced from 800 kg to 190 kg. In this way, the firing range reached 600 kilometers. However, the accuracy of this missile is worse than that of the prototype Scud, and many missiles aimed at Tehran do not know where they flew.
According to the Iranians, the circumferential error of this missile is at least 1,500 meters! If it is a nuclear warhead, such an error is acceptable, but a ballistic missile with a conventional warhead is only a missile with a range of 600 kilometers, and this error is too high!
Pakistan's national defense science and technology are developed, and the aerospace sector is also making rapid progress, and the kind of second-stage rocket, if it is converted into a ballistic missile, can at least hit 5,000 kilometers away! To say that Pakistan has not developed ballistic missiles is not to believe even Saddam.
Of course, now the two sides cannot speak too bluntly, and Saddam Hussein was very satisfied when he heard him say that the Hussein-type sounding rocket. (To be continued......)
