Chapter Sixty-Eight: Bombardment

"Our data refreshes quickly."

"We can't see far."

"Our processors are programmable."

"We can't see far."

"Our human-machine interface is better, and it can be operated by a single person, without the need for a radar officer."

"We can't see far."

No matter what Moore says, Nathan responds with these few words, not as far as we can see. This one advantage is enough, if you want to be a small AWACS aircraft, how can you do it if you can't see far?

The flight speed is very fast, if you fly at a speed of Mach 3, almost a second is a thousand meters, a distance of 100 kilometers, that is not even two minutes, the reaction time is very tight, if it is a detection distance of 200 kilometers, it means that there is a reaction time of four minutes, which is very generous.

As long as the radar can see far, this is enough, how can it be compared?

Moore's face turned red with anger, what was the use of seeing far away? You can't see clearly, the refresh is not fast enough, it is useless at all.

However, the king of BS country does not look at these, in fact, he is much clearer than the layman, after all, he is also a pilot, but his vision is limited, it is impossible to see farther, not to see the future.

In his eyes, it is good to see far.

It's like mentioning the radar of the MiG-25, and everyone is talking about it, which can burn rabbits. That's enough, people immediately feel how powerful this radar is, but in fact it's a chicken rib.

Now, Nathan is fooling the king of BS like this, absolutely confident, and when he keeps saying that his radar can see far away, he is obviously the dominant side, just look at Moore's expression like a failed cockfight.

At this time, Moore also realized the problem, he could no longer be entangled in the radar, nor could he be entangled in the missile, and the missiles of others were also shot far, which made the king of BS country even more excited.

Not to talk about radar, not to talk about aerodynamics, obviously the king of the BS country just likes the variable swept wing, then it can only be said about the engine.

"Our engines have high thrust and a high thrust-to-weight ratio, and according to the theory of energy air combat, our aircraft have more outstanding performance and will occupy an advantageous position in air combat confrontation." Moore said.

The engine of the F-15 is the leading generation, a real third generation, and what is the engine of the Tomcat in comparison? It is an evolution from the engine of the attack aircraft, an authentic second-generation engine, with a thrust-to-weight ratio of only 5 and a thrust-to-weight ratio of only 0.7 for the whole aircraft.

And the engine of the F-15 has a thrust-to-weight ratio of up to 8, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole aircraft exceeds 1, what does this mean? Your F-15 fighter can easily climb vertically.

The so-called argument of winning the world with missiles is outdated, and the experience of the Vietnam War shows that the maneuverability of fighters is quite important, and the fighter mafia has put forward the theory of energy air combat, which has been recognized as correct.

Look at what you say, you can mess around and say that your radar is good, can you still say that your engine is good?

Hearing Moore's words, Nathan in front of him smiled: "Really? Why don't we have a confrontation drill today? ”

When it comes to the engine, Nathan has a lot of countermeasures, for example, although the other party's engine has advanced technical indicators, its reliability is quite poor, as long as he mentions reliability, he can definitely pit the F-15 to death.

However, that would be too despicable for Nathan to use.

After all, that would be a disgrace to the United States.

In fact, now it was originally the two sides to introduce the characteristics of their aircraft, but under Moore's dispute, it became a mouth cannon, Nathan is not in the mood to continue to talk to him, whose plane is better, don't you know if you have a confrontation drill?

Hearing this, the eyes of the king of country BS appeared with excitement, and he was about to clap his hands in welcome, and Moore, who was angry, reacted instantly when he saw the expression of the king of country bs, and was almost taken into the ditch!

Engage in confrontation drills?

Yes, if it is really a confrontation in an air battle, then Moore does not think that his F-15 will fall behind, but not now, because in addition to the aircraft, the pilot is also the most important thing in determining the outcome of the confrontation.

McDonnell Douglas sent test pilots, and now it's Nathan who flies the Tomcat, and this victory is absolutely hanging in the balance.

Test pilots, in order to fly out of the plane's various flight envelopes, to study whether the aircraft's various performance has reached the design indicators, the danger is also very great, it can be said that the test pilot's life is in danger at any time, and it is too normal to crash during the test flight.

At the same time, because the test pilots have been running in with the aircraft since the beginning of the development of the aircraft, they are quite proficient in the aircraft, and it is easy to fly out of the realm of man-machine integration, so when they learned that the king of BS country wanted to watch the air show, they immediately sent their most experienced test pilots.

Flying all kinds of maneuvers is definitely a good hand, but engaging in confrontation is different.

Test pilots are not combatants and do not fly all kinds of air combat confrontation maneuvers, on the contrary, a flying master like Nathan has accumulated strong confrontation experience.

In the skies over Vietnam, in Alaska, and now in Mirama, Nathan has accumulated a lot of experience in air combat, and is a good hand at flying Tomcat fighters, and it can even be said that, not to mention Tomcats, even if it is an F-4 fighter, Nathan can control it to defeat the F-15.

Instructors of the US Navy Fighter Weapons School, specializing in teaching air combat skills, do you need to talk about the level? If it is against the F-15, will it sell the aircraft in the future?

Not only BS countries, but other countries, Israel or something, all know that the Tomcat fighter fights the F-15, and the result is an easy victory, then I am afraid that they will lose foreign orders in the future.

Or even make the Air Force lose confidence and switch to the purchase of Tomcat fighters?

There is a precedent for this, you know, the original F-4 was developed for the Navy, and the Air Force saw that it was good, so it was directly brought in.

"No, no, let's do the air show according to the original plan." Moore said.

"What, scared?" Seeing Moore back down and Nathan continuing to be aggressive, he knew he was going to lose, right?

The king of the BS country was also very interested, his English was quite proficient, he could understand the words of the two, and he could understand the tone, so he immediately prepared to promote this wonderful confrontation.

At this moment, Kissinger spoke: "Let's go according to the original plan." The confrontation in the air will be dangerous, and for the safety of His Majesty the King, we still watch the air show, which is also very exciting. ”

Confrontation in the air, if you fly far away, you can't see it here, it's not interesting, if you fight over the base, in case of a collision or something, the people below are also in danger.

Safety first, Kissinger can't fault his words.
