The F-16, a low-grade fighter in the highlands of the United States, rarely fights for air supremacy in real battles, and most of the time, it is full of heavy bombs and bombs.

In history, Pakistan's most advanced fighter is the F-16, this valuable fighter, Pakistan is used to seize air supremacy, although it does not even have the ability to launch medium-range missiles, but, excellent aerodynamic layout, coupled with a high-thrust engine, let this fighter do the task of dogfighting is also quite smooth, even in the confrontation of the United States itself, it is difficult for the F-15 to overwhelmingly defeat the F-16 in the dogfight.

And now, Pakistan has a more advanced Tomcat fighter, this F-16, which has completely become the role of a bomb truck.

Now, the two F-16Zs in the high altitude have been upgraded with further optimized avionics, and the pilot is in the cockpit, checking the attack data for the last time, and then pressing the button.

Under the wing, two 908-kilogram guided bombs, detached from the pylons, the gyroscope turned, and the antenna in the tail section began to constantly receive GPS signals. The rudder surface stirs up the air currents and flies in the direction of the target.

The United States has imposed restrictions on civilian signals, and the accuracy has dropped by an order of magnitude, but some excellent technicians have quickly thought of new methods.

Differential Signal Processing! By recalibrating the base station, the accuracy of the signal can be greatly improved!

Two F-16s, dropped four bombs, Pakistan's own joint attack ammunition, began to show high-precision attack capabilities in front of the Americans!

Falling from the sky, observers on the ground soon saw the picture from the telescope, a bomb fell from the sky, almost directly hitting the vicinity of the flag. There was even a flagpole that was broken in an instant! The highest precision has actually reached the meter level!

This kind of accuracy is comparable to that of a laser-guided bomb! The Americans at the scene were immediately very satisfied.

"President Mhammad, if the bombs you provide can achieve such accuracy. We can order 2,000 pieces in advance! Air Force Lieutenant General Smith instantly stated: "It's just that I don't know about the dropping of these bombs, do we want to modify our original fire control system?" ”

Precision-guided weapons, can not be mounted if you want to, the fire control system does not support it, at most it is just to throw an ordinary bomb, the fire control system indicates the target, transmits it to the bomb, and then carries out signal processing. Can this joint attack munition made in Pakistan be used on the Americans' own planes?

"Absolutely." Mhammad almost patted his chest and said: "Other planes are not clear, our own F-16 and A-7 attack aircraft can carry this kind of bomb, as long as you modify the program of the fire control system and add a piece of code, our engineers can upgrade you successfully in a few minutes." ”

With the development of technology. Weapons systems are upgraded without changing circuits in many cases. It is only necessary to continuously upgrade the software, which can maximize cost savings.

Now, hearing Mhammad's words, General Smith was finally relieved: "Okay, then let's start synchronously, and first upgrade the F-16 fighters at the Gwadar base in Pakistan!" ”

Hear this. Mhammad smiled and nodded in agreement.

Upgrade your software! As long as the Pakistani engineers have access to the American fighters, how the Americans added the program code to their Tomcat fighters in the first place, they will add them how they want!

Want to stumble on yourself? That's the price!

Seeing off the Americans, Mhammad was in a bit of a surging mood. The wheel of history has shifted its direction and is moving forward step by step towards the goal it has set.

You also have to speed up, the rise of Pakistan depends on now!

Back in Islamabad, Mhammad received new news that the development of the new fighter has made significant progress, and the first prototype is about to fly for testing!

Hearing this, Mhammad almost jumped up from his seat and took the old Arslan with him to the Pakistan Aviation Industries Company.

The development of the fourth-generation aircraft can be said to be quite a complex system engineering, and it took the United States more than 20 years to develop, while the Soviet Union disintegrated before completing the development.

Now, this project in Pakistan is advancing very quickly, and it has to be said that it has been stained with a lot of light.

In all fairness, this project in Pakistan is not a completely new project, but only an improvement project on the Tomcat fighter, and many of the designs can be applied to the original, which greatly saves time.

At the same time, Pakistan can be said to have absorbed the specialties of the East and the West, and in the development of this fighter, Pakistan's scientific research team is also quite large.

There are Pakistan's own research and development personnel, Huaxia Chengfei's personnel, white South African researchers, designers poached from the Soviet Union, and a group of technicians from the American Grumman Company.

In particular, Grumman Company, almost the original Tomcat design team, dug most of them, they are familiar with the Tomcat development process, know the original design ideas, a variety of technical problem solutions, with their participation, the project progresses faster, at the same time, Grumman originally carried out the Navy's NAFT program, now, these technologies are almost now moved over, just like that, in just a few years, Pakistan has completed the design, and began to build prototypes!

When Mhammad's motorcade drove into the runway of the aviation industry company, he saw a sci-fi-looking fighter plane parked at the end of the runway.

The diamond-shaped nose, the cockpit canopy is integrated, there is no partition, and it shines with gold in the sun, which should be coated with a layer of gold film on the surface. The fuselage looks much wider, with rectangular air intakes on the sides, the rear of the side strip wings, the width of the variable swept wing is also enlarged, the fuselage in the middle is thick, and the tail is down, sloping outward.

Without a wave-absorbing coating, the aircraft still has a yellow exterior with exposed rivets and a rugged hairy look.

Seeing Mhammad get out of the car, the technicians at the scene suddenly boiled, and the chief engineer, Assius, ran to Mhammad and said excitedly: "Report to the president, the first prototype of our stealth cat project is preparing for a test flight, please instruct!" ”

Mhammad nodded and looked at the American standing on the other side, Pe Lehak, the man whose hair had begun to turn gray, was the most important engineer that Pakistan had poached from the United States, and the deputy chief designer of Grumman! After digging, he became the deputy chief designer of this project in Pakistan, and it can be said that the project is progressing rapidly, and this person is also indispensable.

"Lehack, our fighter looks very good." Mhammad said to him.

"Yes, most of the shape of this fighter is similar to our original design." Lehak said: "Today, we can finally see this fighter plane flying into the blue sky. ”

The dream of many technicians, in this day and age, the variable sweep wing technology is still not outdated! The president of Pakistan is a staunch supporter of this technology!

"The fuselage looks much wider than the original." Mhammad said.

Originally, the fuselage of an ordinary Tomcat was very wide, and the distance between the two engines reached almost one meter, but now, looking at the rear fuselage, it is even wider than an ordinary Tomcat.

"Yes, if you want to make the fighter stealthy, you have to build the weapon in." "The weapon bay is designed to be the length of medium-range air-to-air missiles, such as Sky Flash and Sparrow," Lehack said. It can be loaded with four, or six if the wings are modified to cut off the tip, and there is a secondary bomb bay next to it, which can be loaded with two close-range combat bombs. ”

As long as it is an external mount, even if it is a Sidewinder missile, it will lead to the destruction of the stealth appearance and a significant reduction in stealth performance, so if you want to make the fighter stealthy, you must have a built-in bomb bay.

For the Tomcat fighter, the powerful payload capacity is its strength, six Immortal Bird missiles, almost dominating the sky, however, the stealth cat that has now been developed, for stealth performance, must make a compromise and build the bomb bay in, so that the Immortal Bird missile will not have a chance.

Four in two near, or six in two near after the improvement, is the full mount method of this fighter, although the number of missiles is not very large, for a stealth fighter, it is already rare, the United States F-22, is also such a load.

As for those who want ultra-long-range attack weapons, they either choose to plug the immortal bird out, or develop an extended-range model using a ramjet engine on the basis of the existing air-to-air missile.

The F-22 fighter who is familiar with later generations is still acceptable to Mhammad for the payload capacity set now.

"What about the other subsystems?" Mhammad asked: "Is the performance of our fighter advanced?" ”

"Mr. President, our fighter is the most advanced fighter in the world! Even American fighters are not at the level of ours. Atheus said. His words were full of pride, Pakistan was able to build such a powerful fighter, which is the pride of all technicians!

However, Lehack on the side shook his head: "Compared with the original Tomcat, in addition to the huge improvement in stealth performance, and the use of four-degree full-power digital control of the variable sweep wing has reached the advanced level, there is still a big gap in other subsystems." ”

There is still a big gap! Although the skunk factory in the United States suffered a terrorist attack, which led to a significant delay in the progress of the project, the United States after so many years of development, the level of science and technology is still the highest! Lehack, who is from the United States, is familiar with the Air Force project, and moreover, he is very respectful of the facts, and does not have a hot brain with Pakistani technicians.
