545. It's time for a generational change

Mu Feng put the J-7 Sable, and the corresponding air-to-air missiles and air-to-ship missiles on Lekexing.

The J-7 Sable is a small single-engine carrier-based aircraft based on the Thunder Dragon, in order to control the size and weight, and the radar avionics system is very close to the third-generation aircraft.

Using a turbofan 13E engine, with a maximum speed of Mach 1.8, an empty weight of 6.5 tons, and a maximum take-off weight of 14 tons, it can carry most modern air-to-air and air-to-ship missiles.

The Sable should be considered a 2.5 generation, but it is actually very close to the 3rd generation aircraft, and the Silver Fox is a 1st generation aircraft plus the radar system of the 2nd generation aircraft, but the body cannot fly at level supersonic speeds.

The performance and function of the two aircraft are at least one generation behind.

After changing the equipment, Lexington stood up in a daze, immediately opened the ship's suit, and released two sables and two silver foxes for comparative testing.

Lexington soon discovered that the performance gap between the old and new aircraft could be described as huge.

Although she did not yet know the division of aircraft generations after the war, Leek felt that the gap between the two types of aircraft was so large that it did not look like a product of the same era.

Mu Feng directly upgraded Lexington's equipment, the first reason was the attitude Lexington showed in the process of dealing with Saratoga.

Her sense of identity with her own organization was significantly higher than with the USN Mission.

She was able to make such a choice, and she really needed a little encouragement.

The second reason is that Lenin searched and discovered the USN in the past two days.

It has now been possible to establish that the USN Command has largely popularized jet fighters, and in particular, the F8U Cross Fighter that is being tested has also been spotted.

The F8U is already a generation ahead of the F9F, officially entering the threshold of supersonic aircraft, installing an on-board optoelectronic radar, especially capable of carrying air-to-air missiles.

The performance of the F8U is undoubtedly absolutely ahead of the Silver Fox.

Although it should take quite some time before the F8U test is completed and then rolled out across the entire command, I have to prepare in advance.

The population of the ship in his own command is much smaller than that of the USN, and even if he just wants to maintain an even position on the whole, he must maintain a large lead in the individual.

The main battle in the Bimoon Islands is over, but there are still various tasks such as patrols, escorts, watch, security, and education.

The ship's mother goes out on a normal mission, and she will soon be able to get the contribution needed for the transformation.

At present, all fleet aircraft carriers with a hull displacement of more than 20,000 tons have basically completed the transformation to adapt to jet fighters.

The very few that have not been transformed are the deep-sea aircraft carriers that have only recently completed their transformation after the Unification War, as well as the very few aircraft carriers of other departments.

The ordinary members of these aircraft carriers will all be upgraded to Sables in the coming period, and the main combat members will be upgraded to the more advanced Snow Leopards.

Most of the light aircraft carriers of more than 10,000 tons will also have to undergo beveled deck modifications to gain the ability to use light jet fighters, and at the same time issue anti-submarine helicopters.

Escort aircraft carriers of less than 10,000 tons will be successively changed into helicopter anti-submarine escort aircraft carriers, and this transformation will be even smaller, basically adding some equipment for operating helicopters.

Battleships, cruisers, and destroyers, which have not yet completed the missile transformation, will be fully guided in batches in the coming period, and those that have already been completed will be upgraded again.

The conventional submarines that have been transformed from the deep sea must also all be modernized.

The upgrade of the hull of the ship mother, first of all, is limited by resource consumption, and secondly, the technology of transforming the hull is not available to everyone.

Therefore, it must be carried out step by step, and it is impossible to do it all at once.

Here, Lexington tested the plane for a while, clearly realized the gap between the sable and the silver fox, gradually sobered up from the surprise, and then suddenly thought of something, and quickly put away the plane and turned around:

"Commander, this new plane is too strong! With this kind of aircraft, the silver fox can indeed be decommissioned, plus the air-to-air missile, the silver fox has no power to fight back at all.

"But the question is, why did you put it on me so quickly? I listened to what you just said, this kind of aircraft should not have been popularized in the headquarters now, right? ”

Mu Feng smiled and said:

"Because of your performance today."

Lexington was stunned for a moment, a little incomprehensible:

"My performance? I made a mistake......"

Mu Feng shook his head:

"It's not that, it's very rare for you to meet Saratoga and be able to distinguish between public and private."

Lexington suddenly realized:

"I see, thank you, Commander......"

Mu Feng thought for a while:

"You have already seen several carrier-based aircraft in Liaoning, so you should also know that in fact, this is not the best aircraft in our headquarters.

"But the better the aircraft, the more resources it consumes, and it can't be unconditionally popularized, but it must be arranged according to the position held by the ship's mother, so you must continue to perform well in the future."

Lexington listened to Mu Feng's words, and thought of the flying bear, Jinghong, and snow leopard used in Liaoning.

The first two huge planes should not be able to operate by themselves, but the snow leopard can definitely do it.

Lexington nodded earnestly, and his mood finally relaxed completely, and he followed Mu Feng to direct the work of those construction machines.

The capital of the USN.

After the luncheon, Washington, Enterprise, Essex, Lexington Patriarch and other senior officials of the USN Command, together with the high-level leaders of the Liaoning, Hood, Richelieu, Bismarck, and Veneto Alliances, went to a spacious and luxurious conference room to start formal official talks.

The two sides first briefly introduced the situation of their headquarters and gained a basic understanding of each other.

For more detailed information, there are specific heads of various departments to exchange information, and they, the real executives, are only responsible for determining the general direction.

In the middle of the meeting, the Essex patriarch suddenly spoke:

"Oh, by the way, tomorrow is the air show of our headquarters, and all airlines and R&D institutions will come up with their own proud products and directly display them to the outside world.

"This time is just right, why don't we just take this air show as our first cooperation, and you will also take out your own products to participate in tomorrow?

"You can buy our equipment, we can buy your equipment, if you participate, I will let the people below arrange the place now, it is still too late."

The top leaders of several headquarters subconsciously looked at Liaoning.

Enterprises, Essex and others have all noticed this situation, which shows that the alliance of the other party is really very close, not a loose organization, and Liaoning has the final say on major matters.

Liaoning has its own ideas, but before he speaks, he still said to Mu Feng:

"Commander, the other party invited us to participate in their air show, I think we can participate, if they want, the silver fox can already be sold to them directly, what do you mean?"

Mu Feng was building a rocket launcher at the time, and when he received the news, he said almost without hesitation:

"Of course you can sell it, if they give more resources, the Sable can limit its functions and performance, you can also sell it to them, all kinds of primary air-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles can be sold.

"But all of this equipment and equipment, all of which are not sold individually, must be purchased in batches, and you look at setting a minimum batch size, such as at least 20 sets, or at least 100 sets.

"The price you can set, for example, a set of 10,000 resources for a silver fox, 23,000 yuan for a sable, if they are really willing to buy in large quantities, then it can be cheaper.

"According to what you said, USN is really fat, unlike the Western Islands and IJN, which have to be raised first and then cut, this can be cut directly!

"Sell a set of Silver Fox, and the resources of our headquarters' ten aircraft carriers for Sable will be saved.

"If they can sign a big export order, all the resources for the aircraft carrier to reequip will be available, and the key will be to squeeze the space for the new scientific research projects they are developing......"

Liaoning couldn't help but smile when he heard this:

"I see."
