Kazakhstan's Uralsk Airport, after Kazakhstan announced that it had joined the 12-nation coalition to defeat the Soviet Russian army in Makashev, it had been requisitioned as a military airport, and the civil aviation flights had to be changed to a nearby small airport with far less complete facilities.

The distance of this airfield from Moscow in a straight line is about 1,000 kilometers, and almost all PLA fighters have a combat radius greater than this number. Originally, there was only one runway at this airport, but later Qi Yiming was stunned and pulled the Red Alert engineering unit to open another 4,000-meter-long runway here, which greatly increased the airport's take-off and landing capacity and made it an important node in this operation against Russia. In order to protect here, Qi Yiming also brought three sets of air defense systems around the airport, specifically to prevent the Soviet Russian army from attacking here, after all, this place is too close to Soviet Russia.

The planes deployed here do not have a single Kazakh fighter, but are all fighters of the Chinese Air Force. There is no need for such a large range and combat radius as a bomber to be deployed in such a cutting-edge place, and front-line attack aircraft and fighters are generally stationed here. The Air Force threw an entire strike division here in one go, with a total of nearly eighty J-7A land-based versions.

This part of the J-7 is the earliest batch, that is, to meet the needs of the U.S. Navy and the Marine Corps before the modification of the batch, at that time equipped with the Air Force about 200 aircraft, and later the J-7B and J-7C versions came out, the Air Force has also considered whether to equip a part of the new J-7 as a stealth penetration strike model, but there are still some discussions in the Air Force.

Proponents believe that the Air Force should take a more diversified strike mode route, and that the multi-purpose and out-of-theater attacks that it engaged in in the early years have been verified, and now it should also take the route of stealth penetration, after all, this is also the trend of future fighter development. Moreover, the J-7B Navy has been developed, with built-in weapons of 8 tons, and although the combat radius is slightly smaller, it can also be used if the front line is arranged.

But there are also many opponents, and it cannot be ruled out that there are some military prejudices in it, and the J-7B has been branded by the Navy, and the Air Force has a feeling of picking up people's teeth and wisdom when it is used again. However, we dare not say this kind of thing openly, because the Central Military Commission is cracking down on the trend of military prejudice. The main reason for the opposition is that the combat radius is indeed a little short for the Air Force, especially the Air Force is rarely able to get its own front-line base in combat, and there must be aircraft with a larger range, and then this aircraft basically has no self-protection capability, and there is no problem for attack aircraft to fight Wuzhi, so that the Qiang-7 and what F-16 and MiG-29 air battles basically have no chance of winning. Then there is the advanced and complex design that makes the failure rate of the Qiang-7B relatively high, which is also a headache for the navy.

Some people pointed out in a strategic and predictive manner that in the future development of the air force's aircraft, the position of attack planes will only become smaller and smaller, and the air force's multi-purpose road is absolutely correct, and the air force cannot build a group of stealth attack planes because it needs stealth penetration attack capabilities, and the navy has no choice but to do so, while the air force is completely not restricted by the needs of the navy such as carriers.

As a result, the Air Force has once again sorted out its own needs -- stealth, large bomb load, excellent ground attack capability, considerable air combat capability, and strong stability.

The Air Force has a J-11 project, but this stealth fighter magazine with excellent transonic maneuverability is a tragedy from the time of design, and after the new design, there is an additional pair of side magazines that can hold two combat bombs, but the main magazine can only basically hold six medium-range bombs, even if it is equipped with ground weapons, it is basically a small diameter bomb.

At this time, Qi Yiming slapped his face, and remembered a model that was originally planned to be installed, but he didn't know when he left it behind - the real fifth-generation aircraft of the Republic Air Force, J-20 Weilong.

Now the outside world knows that China's fifth-generation stealth fighter is only the J-11 Black Hawk, but in fact, since the stealth technology is unlocked, Qi Yiming's Red Police base can already produce another J-20 truly designed and developed by the Chinese. Before he crossed, the J-20 has not been fully developed, especially on the soft board of the engine, basically the aircraft is waiting for the engine, the original designer's plan, either to get the Russian 117S to use first, or their own WS-15 hit the luck all at once, anyway, no matter what, there is no thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 10, the maximum thrust of more than 160kN of the aero engine, J-20 is designed to be useless.

This is a sighing thing, Qi Yiming, like most military fans, looked at the heart disease of PLA in almost all fields, and he couldn't spit it out in one breath. Before he came to 1985, there was a 1500-horsepower diesel engine for tanks, and a gas turbine capable of carrying a 10,000-ton drive or cruiser, but the aero engine that could hold up the wings of the dragon had not yet broken through. Qi Yiming is confident that in the future when the economic situation improves and there are more and more talents, an aero engine comparable to the world's first-class level will inevitably be born in China. At that time, it was the time when the dragon was whistling through the sky and the electric switch was galloping.

After the crossing, the strong industrial manufacturing capacity of the Red Alert base made the WS-10 series equipped with the main domestic fighters in 30 years, and almost the Chinese Air Force won the Western countries at the start. When the F-15 and F-16 were still using engines with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 7 and an afterburner thrust of more than 120, the Raptors and Shadow Leopards were already using the WS-10 with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 8 and a maximum thrust of 132. After the base is upgraded to level 3, this advantage is even more obvious, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the WS-10G is over 9, and the maximum thrust has also reached 155. Not only these two indicators, but the life of the engine is by no means the level of one or two thousand hours that the old Soviet system has to be replaced, but it is quite easy to exceed 10,000 hours, and the overhaul interval is longer than that of similar Western products.

In fact, there are not many problems with the engine of this level for fifth-generation aircraft, and the ability to overcruise may be poor, but basically other functions are not seriously affected.

In fact, the engine of the fifth-generation Chinese stealth fighter is already the next generation of the WS-15. The basic data is that the middle thrust is 120 kN, the maximum afterburner thrust is 185 kN, and the bypass ratio is 0. 27, thrust-to-weight ratio 10. 6。 Horizontally, it is roughly between the F119 and F135 of the United States.

This is not the highest level that the Red Alert base can come up with, and there are engine bases with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12 levels, but the manufacturing cost and some other factors make it possible to use a stronger engine in the production version.

With a powerful engine, the powerful performance of the J-20 is guaranteed. And there is a huge difference between this 22-meter-long fighter and the Black Hawk fighter that specializes in aerial combat, that is, this fighter has a huge magazine. Because the J-20 is too large, there are even some Western observers in the other side who believe that the J-20 should be a fighter-bomber.

If the Air Force wants stealth and penetration, and it wants combat capabilities, then only the J-20 is suitable. After the Air Force actually inspected the J-20, it believed that it could fully meet their needs, but the Air Force was still not sure about the amount of equipment. Now the Air Force basically doesn't do anything with Qi Yiming, and they all place orders to go to the factory seriously.

Although the technology of the J-20 is somewhat advanced, with the support of Red Alert engineers and advanced equipment, Chengfei can basically produce it, and it can generally enter large-scale mass production after a period of testing. Cheng Fei's main single is the FC-1, an export fighter, saying that the J-10 Raptors are from A to B two generations, more than 2,000 units, and Cheng Fei provides the Air Force with less than a fraction, mainly given by Qi Yiming. Cheng Fei's side is also creating feelings.

If the Air Force is willing to order J-20 in large quantities, it will be good news for Chengfei, and this large order can support Chengfei's continuous progress. However, there are also troubles, the price of the J-10 provided by Chengfei to the Air Force fluctuates between 30 million and 36 million, and after calculating the cost, if the Air Force places an order for a hundred J-20s, the purchase unit price will be as high as 1. 200 million yuan, which is more expensive than Black Hawk. Maybe 1. 200 million RMB does not sound high, but the purchasing power of RMB is quite strong at this time, and this is still a sincere price for oneself.

The Air Force's annual equipment procurement cost is now more than 20 billion yuan, and the long-term plan to purchase 200 Black Hawks in 10 years has been approved, and 2 billion yuan must be spent on Shenghua every year, in addition to miscellaneous things such as buying training aircraft, transport aircraft, special aircraft, etc., plus the 12 billion budget for buying J-20, the Air Force is somewhat under pressure. Fortunately, the economic development and military spending have been rising, so I am not very worried.

The Air Force finally prepared a budget of 100 J-20s in 5 years, the first of which will be delivered at the end of 92, and all of them will be delivered by 97.

However, after intervening in the Russian civil war, the Air Force remembered that Qi Yiming had already secretly installed a lot of J-20s for himself, so he simply borrowed a J-20 aviation regiment from Qi Yiming, a total of 24 fighters, and put them in Uralsk to see how effective they were, so as to determine whether to continue to buy more in the future.

These J-20s are all piloted by Red Alert pilots, in fact, there is not much difference from the PLA's own pilots, because there are a large number of Red Alert pilots sent by Qi Yiming within the PLA, and everyone trains and tasks together, and the style is similar.

The J-20, which has an ultra-long combat radius of 2,000 kilometers, is mainly used as an attack mission, but even if it fights with the fighters of the Soviet and Russian forces, they are definitely not such an easy enemy to deal with. After the start of Operation Thunder Strike, these 24 J-20s were quickly put into use, carrying guided bombs to continuously break through behind enemy lines and attack the enemy's important facilities. Its stealth performance was played to the extreme in this mission, and Soviet Russia could not capture the traces of these stealth fighters at all, and only when their arsenals or missile positions were destroyed, did they wake up to the air attack by the Chinese, and what air attack the Chinese used them, even after the war, some Russians felt confused.
