Chapter 379: Flying Leopard Test Flight

Submarines are an important underwater force, and if Argentina had these two submarines involved in the Falklands War, the outcome of the Falklands War might have to be rewritten. German-made submarines are technologically advanced and have very good underwater silence, and if Taiwan obtains these two submarines, then they will have an outstanding underwater advantage.

At present, Taiwan has only a few backward submarines, and they are almost no combat capability, while the mainland only has old Soviet-designed submarines, and the mainland's anti-submarine strength is also quite weak, and the anti-submarine weapons are almost dominated by anti-submarine rockets, and there is no advanced sonar equipment.

Therefore, hearing Mhammad say this, the expressions of several important military generals present immediately became stern.

"We must not allow Taiwan to get these two submarines! Through guΓ² diplomacy, pressure on Argentina. Deng Gong said.

In any case, China is also one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, and in terms of diplomacy, pressure can help.

"It's not just Argentina, it's Germany." Mhammad said.

Although these two submarines were built in Argentina, all the equipment was still imported from Germany, and Germany was the main supplier, and as long as Germany made a statement that if Taiwan got the two submarines, Germany would not provide the remaining equipment and refused to carry out follow-up maintenance of these submarines, then even if Taiwan got the submarines, it would be useless.

Now Germany has a good relationship with Pakistan, and the two sides have carried out a lot of cooperation in the military field, including the engine secretly provided by Pakistan to Germany, the AL-31F on the Su-27 fighter, which is a high-thrust engine. The afterburner thrust exceeded a hundred kN, and Germany, together with the previously acquired RD33, could gain a lot of experience.

Pakistan and Huaxia put pressure on Germany together, and Germany will definitely agree, so that there will be no buyers for those two submarines. Argentina will be forced to lower the price, while Pakistan will be able to buy those two submarines at the best price.

Pakistan, too, needs submarines! Mhammad has long taken a fancy to those two submarines, but now is not the time, and he needs to mess up Taiwan's business with Argentina first, and then he can make his debut.

"Yes, we need to make our position clear to Germany at the same time. We do not want to see Taiwan with the most advanced German submarines. Deng Gong continued.

Now, except for France, which can sell arms on a large scale without worrying about all kinds of influences, other countries have to be careful, after all, France is not a member of NATO and is not subject to NATO control.

"We will also lodge a stern protest with Germany." "With our common opposition, Germany will make their choice," Mhammad said. ”

It's not that hard. Historically, it has also been resolved in this way, thanks to the diplomatic efforts of the mainland. Argentina had to abandon exports, and Germany would not provide follow-up maintenance, and Taiwan's dream of an advanced submarine was shattered.

"Our two countries have common interests, and we can only continue to make progress if we work together for common development." Mhammad said: "Now. Our roads have been built, and we plan to build a road to Iran in northern Afghanistan, and when this road is completed, we will be able to communicate with Central Asia and the Middle East. It will be smoother. ”

Deng Gong's eyes suddenly lit up, now, the country is undergoing reforms, economic development, then there is a huge consumer market, Iran seems to be a good choice!

Moreover, it is of great significance to travel from Pakistan to the Middle East by land, which will also greatly shorten the transportation distance!

The last time Mhammad came, the two sides decided to build a road, and now, two years later, this road has been built!

The roads in northern Afghanistan are difficult, but there are many mines there, and Pakistan's industry needs the mineral deposits of northern Afghanistan to develop, so it is essential to build a road that runs through the east and west, and at the same time, it can also solve Pakistan's most important energy shortage. Later, an oil pipeline could be built in southern Afghanistan.

This road can also facilitate the transportation of materials in China.

"President Mhammad, your eyes are far away, military, political, economic, you are all all-rounders, Pakistan has you as president, it is Pakistan's luck." Deng Gong said.

The other families have become history, and now Mhammad is the most suitable ruler of Pakistan.

"Deng Gong has won the award, and we are now mainly engaged in military exchanges." Mhammad said: "I came this time to see how the fighters were being developed in Chengfei and Xifei. ”

Historically, because the country has invested most of its energy in economic construction, many national defense projects have been launched, and the development of fighters that require high investment has been slow, but now, the situation has changed a lot, with the help of Pakistan, Spey Engine has finally completed all the localization, and improved the advanced model.

By exporting these engines to South Africa and Iran, the country has received sufficient funds for research and development, and even if the state does not allocate funds, the development of fighters is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Moreover, compared with the Pakistani air force, the senior military officials in China have seen what modern air warfare is, realized the huge gap between their own side and foreign countries, and attached great importance to the equipment of the air force.

Hearing that Muhammad said that he wanted to go down to have a look, Deng Gong was also pleased: "I'll accompany you to take a look, and I also hope that watching our fighter planes can take off as soon as possible." ”

Deng Gong knew that Xifei and Chengfei were all working on key projects, and they were all very concerned, and the original Jian-H-7 project was also approved by him, but there were many national affairs, and there was no time to go around.

The next day, Deng Gong and Muhammad came to Xifei.

Chen Yijian was very excited to learn that the chairman and Pakistan were coming, and greeted the arrival of the convoy at the gate, and was even more excited when he saw the chairman and President Mhammad getting off the car.

"Chairman, President, welcome to Xifei for inspection!" Chen Yijian said.

"Mr. Chen, how is the development of the flying leopard?" Mhammad asked.

"Test flights have already begun, and at the time of the first test flight, some problems occurred, and now they have all been overcome." Chen Yijian said.

Test flights have already begun! Historically, this military aircraft only began to fly in 88, and in 86, it was at risk of being dismounted again. And now, due to the intervention of the Pakistani side, the progress of the development of this fighter has been greatly accelerated, and now, the test flight has begun in an orderly manner!

Test flight? Mhammad heard a burst of excitement: "Then let's go to the test flight site first and see the flying leopard." ”

Mhammad was very interested, so he did not enter the 603 institute and went to the airport first.

At the end of the runway, there was a two-engine fighter plane parked, with a single vertical tail, two seats, normal aerodynamic layout, air intake on both sides, as soon as he saw this plane, suddenly, Mhammad thought of the fighters who would equip the troops and guard the sea frontier in later generations, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, the flying leopard has finally flown for a test flight!" ”

Test flight is to test various numbers during design, and at the same time to detect various possible faults and hidden dangers of the aircraft, which is very dangerous.

"The fighter we developed ourselves has already begun to fly test." Deng Gong was also very excited.

"Report, the test flight subject carried out today is the high-altitude maximum speed subject." Test pilot Huang Bingxin and navigator Yang Buxin, carrying helmets, said to Deng Gong and Muhammad who came to the end of the runway.

"Commander Huang, I'm here, waiting for you to come back from the test flight." Deng Gong said.

High-altitude maximum speed subject? As if remembering what he had read, but he couldn't remember the specifics, Mhammad watched the two salute and walk onto the plane.

The tail of the Flying Leopard fighter spewed flames, the two Spey engines ignited smoothly, and the fighter slid on the runway, and then soared into the blue sky.

Because he suddenly asked to come here, he didn't even have a parasol, so he set up a few chairs on the ground, and Deng Gong, Mhammad and others sat down.

"This fighter plane, it looks so beautiful." Mhammad said: "This is the first fighter you have designed to abandon the appearance of Soviet fighters." ”

Although it still retains the wing knife and even the three-piece windshield, this is already a great step forward after all.

"Yes, we have been greatly inspired by your fighters, but unfortunately, limited by our technology, we are still using hydraulic transmission, fire control system, or counterweight for the time being, waiting to share technology with Chengfei, waiting for Chengfei to be successfully developed, and replacing the integrated fire control system and digital fly-by-wire system."

Soviet-style fighters launch a type of missile and need to flip multiple switches, while American-made fighters are very easy and convenient, just because American-made fighters use an integrated fire control system, and through guΓ²1553B number jΓΉ bus technology, to integrate various fire control systems, while Soviet fighters are still separated, and each time a weapon is added, the corresponding control system must be added, which is extremely cumbersome.

Therefore, the integrated fire control system is the trend, and the strength of Xifei is limited, and now it is the airframe, and after waiting for the successful development of Chengfei, it can be directly taken over.

Chengfei has successfully copied the flat slot radar, at the time of design, it has been decided to use the integrated fire control system, and now, they are overcoming various technical difficulties, and the west flight, the comprehensive development of the airframe, most countries, are like this, when the Su-27 test flight, radar or something, also used counterweight.
