Chapter 171: Secret Expedition

There are no eternal friends, there are no eternal enemies, only unchanging interests, placed between countries, this sentence is the absolute truth.

In the case of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Americans were so good with Pakistan that they could wear a pair of pants, and imported a large number of weapons to Afghanistan, and under the impetus of Mhammad, they also sold heavy F-14 fighters to Pakistan, but in later generations, after the end of the war in Afghanistan, the United States has turned its face, especially after Pakistan exploded a nuclear bomb.

In Asia, the United States attaches more importance to India, and it also balances the eastern countries, and in the same way, the eastern countries should be closely linked with Pakistan, and the eastern countries should be closely linked to Pakistan to balance India, and if there is no Pakistan, then the eastern countries will always be in conflict with India.

This is the national interest. The friendship of the Americans can only last for a few years, but the friendship with the Eastern countries will last for a long time, because the two countries have common enemies, especially in the Indo-Pakistani war, the Eastern countries supported a large number of Jian-6 fighters, and at this time the West imposed an embargo on Pakistan, which made Pakistan's relationship with the Eastern countries even closer.

At this time, the eastern countries had begun to reform and open up, ending the turmoil, and when they came out of the turmoil, they suddenly found that they had fallen behind for ten years, and this decade was precisely the decade in which the West made great strides forward.

In terms of military industry, the same is true, as the pride of the aviation industry, the J-8 fighter began to be designed in the sixties, and the first flight was made in six or nine years, and the result was that it was not until the seventy-nine years that this fighter was only lengthened and stuffed into the twin engines before it was finalized, and it was put into service in eighty years, and then looked around, this high-altitude and high-speed fighter. It's far behind.

Turbofan VI, developed from the early sixties, to eighty-two years, completed the bench test, but later, lost the installed object. Had to dismount.

Jian-7 started to establish the project in '73, and it wasn't until '82 that a wooden prototype was produced.

In order to develop their economies, the Eastern countries can only put the development of the military industry behind, and at the same time, the Eastern countries also want to know how big the gap is between themselves and the fighters of Western countries.

Although because of the relations with the Soviet Union, the countries of the East and the United States also entered the honeymoon period. However, the United States will not export advanced technology to the Eastern countries, and the ideological issue is the biggest obstacle between the two countries.

Therefore, after hearing that Pakistan is equipped with two advanced fighters, F-14 and F-16, the Eastern countries are tempted. It's just that the Americans are in Pakistan.

Before Christmas, the Americans were evacuated from Pakistan. People from several research institutes in the Eastern countries formed a delegation and quietly came to Pakistan.

"Boom, boom." A transport plane, which appeared in the clouds, lit up the eyes of Mhammad, who was standing on the runway. Luck Eight!

In the turmoil of those ten years, the only one that was successfully developed and put into practical use was the Y-8 medium-sized transport aircraft developed by the Xi'an Aircraft Factory.

Actually, it is not considered to be the manufacture of this aircraft. It is a copy of the Soviet Union's An-12 transport aircraft from the West.

Straight trapezoidal cantilever upper wing, four turboprop six engines drive four four-bladed propellers, the nose of the fuselage, and a plexiglass nose with a frame, which is the position of the pilot, and the rear of the fuselage is a straight cargo tail opening.

At Mhammad's side were the commander of the Pakistani Air Force, General Nur Khan, the commander of the military district, Mushaaf, and the commander of the air base, Arslan.

In the face of this visit, the Pakistani side sent Admiral Zamal to greet him, which is enough to show the importance it attaches to the eastern countries.

"An-12 transport aircraft." Beside Mhammad, Arslan said.

At this time, the eastern countries are still with a veil of mystery, although they have been reformed and opened up, the outside world still knows very little about them, hearing Arslan's words, Mhammad said softly: "It's not An-12, it's Yunba, which is imitated according to An-12." ”

"It would be nice if our country could also copy fighter planes." Arslan said.

Pakistan's industry is backward, as the most high-end aviation industry, Pakistan is even more outdated, all fighters are purchased, even overhaul, but also have to be carried out abroad, only J-6, the Eastern countries have supported a friendly overhaul plant, which can be repaired in the J-6.

For the eastern countries, Nur Khan is also very cordial, more than ten years ago, it was Nur Khan with the elite of the air force, set foot on the land of the east, from there to receive the J-6 fighter.

Now, here comes friends from the East.

Hearing Arslan's words, Nur Khan was also very emotional, if Pakistan could make its own fighters, how good it would be!

"We not only want to imitate, but in the future, we will also develop the world's latest fighter planes ourselves." Mhammad said, his words filled with confidence.

Today, that's the first step.

"Mhammad, how do you think we should develop it?" Nur Khan's eyes were blazing with flames.

"In cooperation with the eastern countries, we will first map and map the two advanced fighters we are equipped with, and strive to imitate them." "The countries of the East have the greatest advantage in the world when it comes to surveying and mapping," Mhammad said. ”

Surveying and mapping, if it sounds good, it is called a copycat, and if it is bad, it is called piracy, and the Eastern countries are the best at it, when the Apple 4 was just launched, the high imitation machine was popular everywhere.

"Boom," the roar grew louder and louder, and the transport plane aimed at the runway and landed accurately.

The tailgate of the cabin opened, and a group of people with oriental faces, stepped down from above.

At the forefront was Tu Jida, the leader of the WÈN delegation and the director of the 611 Research Institute of the Chengdu Aircraft Factory.

This aircraft design expert, born in 1927, experienced World War II, after the founding of New China, first in Shenfei, and then went to Chengfei, and presided over many projects, Chujiao VI, Jianjiao 5, Jianjiao VII.

At this time, the aircraft expert was already full of gray hair, and he still had some excitement in his heart.

Following Tu Jida, another old man is Song Wencong, although he is only three years younger than Tu Jida, he is more energetic than Tu Jida, and his body exudes a unique vitality, it seems that he is like a young man in his thirties and forties, he is also from Chengfei, and the two of them are old friends.

At this time, he was accepting a certain high-tech project of the country, and was in the stage of blowing the wind tunnel, and when he heard that he was going to visit Pakistan, he immediately asked to come with him, and waited for several months before getting the opportunity.

Behind the two is Chen Yijian of the 603 Institute of Xi'an Aircraft Factory, all three of whom are 60 years old, and they have dedicated their youth to the sky of New China.

"Lao Chen, this time it's thanks to your plane." "Otherwise, we would have to take a civil flight to Islamabad and then a car here," Tsukida said. ”

"This aircraft is going to be tested for durability, and this is the right opportunity." Chen Yijian said: "I've been worried, I'm afraid that the noise in the cabin will be too loud, and you won't be able to stand it. ”

The Y-8 is a transport aircraft, and although the cabin behind it is also an airtight cabin, it is completely less comfortable than a civil aircraft.

Watching these people get off the plane, Mhammad remembered that he had seen these people in his previous life, everyone was so famous, Song Wencong presided over the Jian-10, Chen Yijian presided over the flying leopard, and now, just now these fighters began to design the stage, they came here, and they also came here to learn from the experience.

They were followed by a group of young technicians.

"Welcome to all friends of the East." Nur Khan had already greeted him: "Chief Designer Tu, we have met before. ”

Tukida's hand and Nur Khan clasped tightly together, and he was very excited when he remembered the past.

The two sides shook hands in turn, and when Nur Khan introduced Mhammad, the old pundits' eyes widened.

"Chief of Staff Mhammad, you are the mainstay of Pakistan, on the battlefield in Afghanistan, you personally fought, created the Free Army of Afghanistan, and now, you command the air force of the Peshawar Military Region, fighting against the Soviets, especially, you personally presided over and purchased advanced fighters." Tu Jida said.

"It's all for the security of Pakistan." "These are the results of the joint efforts of all Pakistani military personnel, including our Air Force Commander, who has consulted with the US side many times, especially now that we are about to introduce A-7 attack aircraft, which is also being presided over by our Air Force Commander," Mhammad said. ”

At such times, Mhammad was very modest, and Nur Khan listened very well.

"We are here this time to see the American-made fighters equipped by the Pakistan Air Force." Tukida said that although they had just gotten off the plane, they couldn't wait.

On the tarmac in the distance, there were fighters with open cockpit canopies, an F-16, an F-14, and next to the fighters, a ladder had been erected.

The visit was top secret, all the Pakistani servicemen on the scene, were completely reliable, and the entire base, not half American.

"Please come over here." Nur Khan said.

In fact, just looking at the appearance, you can't know the advanced nature of the fighter, but when you see the overall cockpit canopy of the F-16, some young technicians exclaimed: "Look, there is no front windshield!" ”

At this time, all fighters in the East were still three-piece front windshields, and when the pilots were observing the field of vision ahead, they were blocked by those metal frames, and their vision was restricted, and they were surprised when they looked at the bubble-shaped cockpit canopy.

Mhammad followed the voice of the voice and looked over, it was a young female technician, it seemed, she was in her early twenties, with short ear-length hair, fair skin, and big eyes, all of them were surprised at this time, she was wearing a Pakistani military uniform, and she did not show her slimness, but she walked so temperamentally.
