The north is still cold, it is the time of the cold spring, and in the south, the climate has become a little muggy, and Chengdu, which is located in the Sichuan Basin, is also beginning to be hot at this time.

In Cheng Fei's office, senior engineers and leaders were sitting together, and everyone's faces were very serious.

"The President of the United States came to visit and brought us F-16 fighter jets." Tu Jida was still the top person in charge of Cheng Fei at this time, and he first spoke: "Shen Fei is very interested in this, and wants to introduce a full set of production lines for the production of this kind of fighter, and now, the above has intended to temporarily reduce the funds given to us and invest it in the F-16." ”

This is definitely bad news for Cheng Fei, relying on the No. 10 project, Cheng Fei can finally raise his head, who knows, another basin of cold water has been poured on, and the F-16 is going to be introduced!

This is a light fighter with a lot of overlap with the Ten, and if this project continues, there will be almost nothing to do with it.

Mr. Song also looked serious and tired, just came back from the capital, met with leaders at all levels, and hoped to apply for the next stage of test flight fees, but they were all rejected.

Could it be that this No. 10 project will die like Jian-9? How can the road to developing a fighter by yourself be so tortuous? Wouldn't those officials of the Third Aircraft Department use their brains to think about why the Americans suddenly launched this arms sale at such a time? It was developed to suppress your own fighters!

Mr. Song knew it, but he had no choice, after all, the test flight of this fighter requires a lot of money, and all kinds of problems must be found in the sky, and every rise and fall is burning money.

Although Cheng Fei has his own channels. However, the cost of the follow-up test flight of the No. 10 project is still quite large, and it must be supported by the state.

"I see, we're all going to fly and write a petition. All write their names, and let's go to the capital to petition again! An old engineer said.

"Yes, Project 10 is about to succeed, and it can't be wasted at this juncture!"

"Yes, let's go to the capital together!"

People were excited.

Tu Jida shook his head: "No, if we do this, it will only make the superiors have a worse impression of us." ”

"Bang." At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Yang Wei, the chief engineer of the flight controller. Running in in a hurry: "Good news, good news! ”

"What's the news?" Mr. Song asked.

"I just communicated with the Pakistani side, and they said that if the funding given to us by the higher authorities is terminated, the Pakistani side can continue to provide funds until we have fully developed this fighter. Moreover, Pakistan intends to produce at least eighty of the same fighters in their country! ”

Pakistan! At times like these. Standing firmly behind Cheng Fei is still their good friend. Pakistan! When the No. 10 project was developed, there was help from Pakistan, and now, when the No. 10 project is facing the risk of miscarriage, Pakistan has given another reassurance, which one is better, J-10 or F-16? Pakistan, which already has the F-16. Also equip the J-10 fighter!

The haze was swept away, and the excitement returned to everyone's faces, and even Mr. Song's face was full of smiles, and he said, "Great! We must successfully develop the Jian-10 and become a qi-fighting machine! ”

"Still. The Pakistani side has also offered us another option. Yang Wei continued: "In order to crush the conspiracy of the Americans, we can organize a confrontation exercise! In the exercises, with our machine No. 10, defeat the F-16! In this way, Deng Gong will definitely fully support our No. 10 machine, and the F-16 will no longer enter our army sequence! ”

When he learned about Bush Sr.'s visit to China, Mhammad knew what was going on, and the Americans wanted to contain the rise of Pakistan and China, especially in aviation technology! They have already learned that Pakistan and China are jointly developing these advanced third-generation fighters, and they will do everything possible to suppress them!

For this conspiracy of the United States, of course, Mhammad cannot let them succeed, after all, in Mhammad's plan, Pakistan's heavy fighter is a copycat Tomcat, and the medium fighter is the J-10! The maneuverability of this fighter surpasses that of the F-16! Moreover, it has completely independent intellectual property rights, and future improvements and optimizations can be carried out independently, and the most important thing is that the United States does not know the various performances of this fighter!

Now, the Americans want to play a conspiracy, and Mhammad ordered to contact the Chinese side at the first time, express the position of the Pakistani side, and resolutely support Cheng Fei! Now, the person who has the most contact with Pakistan is Yang Wei, the chief designer of the flight controller, so they directly conveyed their opinions through Yang Wei.

If necessary, Pakistan can inject funds and conduct joint research and development, but it is not yet this step, and one of the solutions offered by Mhammad is to organize a confrontation exercise! In real combat, the advanced performance of the No. 10 machine was confirmed!

Now, the test flight of the No. 10 aircraft has been carried out for almost half a year, and there is still a long time before the official finalized test flight, that is, it is only now to solve the most basic problems. However, even so, the aircraft has already shown strong maneuverability, and the canard layout already gives the fighter an agile nose that is instantly pointing, which is not comparable to circling, the F-16 is simply not comparable.

And they also have another advantage, that is, they know the weaknesses of the F-16, Pakistan is also equipped with F-16 fighters, and they are well aware of the various performances of the fighters, so they use the advantages of the No. 10 machine to restrain the F-16, so that Deng Gong knows who is more suitable for the future Chinese sky fighter!

In later generations, the strength and weakness of the J-10 and the F-16 have always been a topic in the mouths of military fans, and various comparisons have emerged in endlessly, and there are even rumors that the Chinese fighters are engaged in exercises with the F-16 of Pakistan, and they have been abused very badly.

However, in fact, the comparison is definitely not a simple comparison of a few data, the quality of the pilot, the use of various tactics, will play an important role in the battle. For example, the MiG-25 is best at high altitude and high speed, but in Iraq's contest with the multinational force, it still performed four graceful serpentine maneuvers and then successfully broke into the field of vision of American fighters.

Moreover, the F-16 is an evergreen military aircraft, which has been produced for decades in later generations, and more than 4,000 have been produced in the world, and the model is gradually improving, and now, it has reached the level of block50, and it has been replaced with a thrust engine and updated various electronic equipment. It's just a special fool of people, and now, the high-level people in Huaxia don't know that this is a castrated version, but the Third Machine Department and Shen Fei, who know the inside story, won't take the initiative to say this.

Hearing Yang Wei's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Yes, as long as our No. 10 machine is on the field, we will definitely be able to defeat the F-16!" Tu Jida said: "It's just that our plane is still in the test flight stage, and it will be risky to use an aircraft in the test flight stage to fight." ”

Project 10 is progressing rapidly, and now there are four prototypes for various flight tests, among them, the 004 aircraft has been modified in many aspects after exposing problems on the basis of test flights, especially the air intake, and a bulge has also appeared, which can greatly increase the high-speed capability of this fighter, this is a full-state aircraft, and a full set of avionics equipment has been installed, including Huaxia's self-produced pulse Doppler radar.

Even so, the confrontation will still be full of risks, if your own aircraft breaks down in the confrontation, it will lay the foundation for the F-16 to enter China!

"Yes, there is a risk, but we have to take it!" Mr. Song said: "The West is trying its best to obstruct the development of our fighter planes, and in our country, there is comprador bureaucracy at work, we must use a clean battle to smash their conspiracy!" ”

Mr. Song's hand slammed on the table, and the water glasses on the table were shaken, everyone knew that although he was usually stern on the outside, Mr. Song, who was kind in his heart, was really angry at this time.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Tu, I still have an idea." At this moment, Yang Wei on the side continued to speak: "In order to make our confrontation exercise a complete victory, we should be able to communicate with the Pakistani side and use their F110 engines." ”

At this time, what kind of morality is still being emphasized? Shen Fei's people can move up and down, and even in order to introduce this kind of fighter, they don't even explain to their superiors that the engine is turbojet, so what reason does their own side have? Now the fighters that are tested are all TF-41 engines, and the maximum afterburner thrust is 100 kN, while the F110 engine, with the maximum afterburner thrust, has reached 1200 N! This increased thrust is enough to make this fighter even more maneuverable!

Hearing Yang Wei's words, Mr. Song's eyes sharpened and looked at Yang Wei: "Are you confident?" ”

"Yes! We can reintegrate the software in 10 days, and in terms of flight control, I can write military orders. Yang Wei replied.

"Okay, then let's go separately, Lao Tu and I will go to the capital, and say that the people from the Third Machine Department will compete with Shen Fei! Here you are, put the F110 in for me! Mr. Song said: "This time, I want to make Shen Fei lose convincingly!" (To be continued......)
