Under a clean and clean blue sky with white clouds floating, the Tomcat fighters of the China-Pakistan Joint Test Brigade set off from Pakistan in a two-plane standard mode, and four Tomcats crossed the Kashmir and Pamir Plateaus to enter the territory of China, and their final destination was the Xifei Company in China.

As the captain of the Bafang side of the joint brigade, Rick is even more hands-on to ensure that the mission is foolproof.

In addition to these four Tomcat fighters, there are several other fighters that also take off from various airports and head to China.

In accordance with the prior subject arrangement, the Sino-Pakistani Joint Test Brigade conducted such a long-distance raid drill, and in addition to the necessary tactical exchanges, gossip was prohibited in all communication channels between the fighters. Rick, who was sitting in the driver's seat, started the autopilot mode and felt a sense of boredom.

As a result, Rick passed on his experience of participating in previous battles to his Huaxia counterparts through this flight, and the Huaxia pilot in the back seat was even more hungry to absorb it, humbly accepted, and even used this short time to take notes seriously.

Think about being in a small cockpit with a notebook! Holding a pen with a flight glove and writing in the bumps, even Rick respected the dedication of the Huaxia pilots.

Fortunately, the cockpit of the Tomcat fighter is wide, and the rear compartment is a weapon operator, and there is no operating stick in the way.

"Wang Wei, you are really hardworking, but you should also pay attention to your body," Rick said to the Huaxia pilot in the back seat, looking at the sky while wearing a respirator.

"Well, thanks, wait a minute, I'll write again. After all, the fighter units of our Chinese Navy and Air Force have not fought against an enemy in the real sense for nearly 20 years, and you have fought against the Soviet Air Force in Afghanistan and the Indian Air Force of neighboring countries. Now he is participating in the operation of the multinational force in Iraq......" Wang Wei replied seriously, but the pen in his hand did not stop.

"Hehe, in fact, there is nothing, you have fought a lot, and naturally you will have experience, and you don't have to be arrogant. You must know that in the Korean War, you forced the US imperialist air force to dare not approach the 'MiG corridor' at all, creating a miracle in the history of world air warfare. And our Pakistan Air Force is more often dependent on foreign advanced equipment to achieve superiority, if the channels of these equipment are cut off, we do not have the same background as yours, we will really lose the wars with the Soviets and Indians, and our country will only perish! Rick laughed to himself.

"Rick, you?" Wang Wei's words were a little cramped.

"Nothing, Wang Wei. It is precisely because we have been betrayed many times before that we truly realize that Huaxia is our staunch and loyal friend of Pakistan, and you are also my friend, and there is no need to shy away from friends, just like the Tomcat fighter plane under us is the product of mutual trust and cooperation between our two countries. Rick looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers outside the cabin and said.

Without China, Pakistan would have been wiped out by India, and at that time, the Western world abandoned Pakistan. Only Huaxia is a loyal friend of Pakistan! And now, Pakistan's Tomcat fighters. It was also in cooperation with Huaxia's technical personnel that the copycat was successfully created.

"That's true, so we're friends, huh." Wang Wei agreed.

This time he came to Huaxia, and Rick was very satisfied with his own fighters.

His landline, as well as eleven other fighters, are significantly improved Tomcats. There are a number of differences from the original Tomcat fighters equipped with the Pakistan Navy and Air Force before.

First of all, the biggest difference is that a pair of conformal fuel tanks are installed above the fuselage, so that a pair of heavy weapon hardpoints under the belly air intake that has been mounted on the auxiliary fuel tank have been liberated, and after the adjustment of the flight control system and a small range of modifications to the aerodynamic shape, the ventral fins at the tail of the air intake have been canceled and replaced by a pair of heavy weapon hardpoints; The second is that the cockpit has been replaced with an integrated glass cockpit, and the pilot's vision is much better than the three-sided and two-body cockpit in the past. With the new helmet sight and optoelectronic display, it is a perfect match; The tail engine is a high-thrust turbofan engine WS10C jointly developed by China and Pakistan on the basis of the American F110-GE-100 turbofan engine, which has increased the thrust by 15% compared with the original F110, which has greatly improved the power and load capacity of the Tomcat fighter, and finally the actual payload of this new Tomcat has reached an astonishing 9.3 tons!

Huaxia has been carrying out the turbofan ten project, although Huaxia has a mature Spey engine and an improved TF-41 engine, which can temporarily meet the power requirements of the J-10 fighter in terms of performance, but, after all, the core aircraft has been outdated, and Huaxia's new fighter also needs to have a more advanced engine, so the turbofan ten project has been in progress.

When the production line of Pakistan's F110 engine began to be produced, Huaxia's engine project team joined in the improvement of Pakistan's engine project, through the joint efforts of both sides, under the premise of thoroughly understanding the design of the F110 engine, began to improve the engine, after six or seven years of hard work, the AL-37F engine imported from the Soviet Union, and part of the technical data of F110-GE-129 obtained from the United States, Finally, the current model was improved, and according to the name of the Chinese side, it was called WS10C, and Pakistan named this engine "Chogori-1" type.

Chogori Peak, located in the north of Pakistan, is the highest peak in Pakistan and the second highest peak in China and the world, with an altitude of 8,611 meters, second only to Mount Everest. Pakistan named its own engine Chogori, which represents its own aero engine technology and will enter the peak of industrial technology.

Although the powerful engine makes the Tomcat's maneuverability better, for the Pakistan Navy, the current Steam Catapult equipped with the aircraft carrier Endeavour is relatively limited, so the maximum payload of this Tomcat is limited to 7.2 tons, which the Navy is full of slander.

However, Rick listened to his father that the Navy seems to be developing a new toy through the Babel Research Institute, which seems to be called an electromagnetic catapult, and at that time, the shortcomings that limit the combat power of the new Tomcat will be completely solved.

Now. The two pairs of composite pylons under the transformable wing box of the fighter, a pair of heavy weapon hardpoints under the belly, and two pairs of heavy weapon hardpoints under the air intake are loaded with various weapons: including 2 R73M infrared short-range air-to-air missiles, 4 "Sky Flash" active radar-guided air-to-air missiles, and 2 YJ-91-A heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles!

When Shostakovich got back the П-270 'Москит', that is, the Sandfly anti-ship missile codenamed SS-N-22 from NATO, Pakistan immediately organized its own technical forces to copy this missile. This same imitation missile of Pakistan was quickly copied successfully, and Pakistan developed into a series of supersonic missiles!

Since Pakistan already has a production line of the C-801 series of anti-ship missiles imported from China, codenamed YJ-81, the same naming method was adopted and the missile was named YJ-91, of which Type A is an anti-ship model. The P model is a radiation-proof model equipped with a powerful rocket ramjet engine produced by Pakistan.

With a length of 4.7 meters, a diameter of 360 mm, a weight of 0.6 tons, a warhead weighing 90 kg, a maximum range of 200 kilometers and a minimum range of 5 kilometers, this is an excellent heavy supersonic missile. Meantime. Scientists in China and Pakistan borrowed the technology obtained through reverse research on the seeker of the US imperialist AGM88 "Hamm" anti-radiation missile introduced by Pakistan. The seeker has been improved to make its radar frequency range from 2 to 18 Hz, with an accuracy error radius of 8 to 10 meters, and a strong anti-jamming capability that can operate in a complex electronic warfare environment.

This improved Tomcat fighter from Pakistan. Although it is not yet a new generation of fighters with stealth capabilities, it has achieved new combat capabilities by improving various equipment and adopting new technologies. It has always been a direction for the improvement of military aircraft, and the American F-16 has not been improved in this way.

This aircraft has applied more new technologies, and it is still a test model, but the bricks of the original Grumman company dug up by Pakistan are full of confidence, patting their chests to ensure that the new Tomcat is a third-generation and a half fighter, compared with the original F14D combat power of the United States imperialism is at least 50% higher, and even much more powerful, they are halfway to participate in the improvement of this fighter, but because they are the original designers of the development of the Tomcat, they know the structure of the Tomcat and other aspects well, and their participation, Make the improvement of this fighter smoother. The bricks of the original Grumman company actually prefer to call this new tomcat F14E, but for various reasons, the U.S. Imperial Navy has completely abandoned the tomcat, and F14E will become the swan song of the tomcat family, and the birthplace is actually outside the U.S. imperialism itself. After a few years, the U.S. Navy discovered this Pakistani self-improved tomcat, and all of them beat their chests and feet, and almost scolded the short-sighted guys in Congress and several veteran admirals.

Of course, because this is a new model, both Pakistan and China have some doubts about its reliability, so Rick led the team to fly in actual combat this time also has the meaning of testing the combat power of this fighter. And there is a key content that the Pakistani and Chinese naval aviation units have long desired: the new Tomcat fighter to participate in the "Red Flag 93" exercise, and the live ammunition drill YJ-91-A heavy supersonic anti-ship missile attack on the enemy aircraft carrier formation!

Rick and the other pilots were getting acquainted with the new aircraft as quickly as possible, and the pilots always wanted to fly the best, most advanced, and coolest planes, and then humiliate and abuse the enemy. Of course, this is also to lay a solid foundation for the new Tomcat to enter service as soon as possible.

No, a few years ago, President Mahmoud conducted a red flag exercise in China, which made the Chinese military bigwigs suddenly find that the PLA army has lagged far behind the world because of the long-term closure, so the bigwigs cheekily asked whether Mahmoud could let the Pakistani army act as the coach of the PLA army, well, it is also a sparring partner. For Pakistan, which has a relatively small territory and limited airspace, it is naturally undesirable, although it has also practiced with the air forces of other countries on the territory of South Africa and Saudi Arabia in recent years, but China is relatively closer and more convenient.

Soon, the "Fighting Array" training ground in Xihai Province, China, became a place for the exchange of air power between China and Pakistan, and the F14E "Battle Cat" competed with its own siblings, J10 "Stick", Flying Leopard, Su-34, etc., and the scene was often full of "gunpowder smell". Pakistani eagles, who have experienced the brutal Afghan war and the Indo-Pakistani war, are naturally willing to have rookies sent to their doors to let them "sharpen". (To be continued.) )
