Since it is only two years before the re-election, and Comrade Cang Yuehai is also the justifiable vice chairman of the Military Commission, no one dares to ignore or be dissatisfied with this order, so Su Shi once again got the contract to provide transformation for Jian-10, and the 611 Institute is responsible for production, and then Su Ming will carry out modernization and replace the SS200 engine and on-board electronic equipment.

The cost of 4 million US dollars per modification, the Air Force's order is 300 aircraft, and the original Air Force's order is 400 aircraft, but with the rise in unit price, the total number must be reduced, because the procurement cost is budgeted in advance, and the Air Force has also watched the on-site exercise, so there is no opinion, although the number is less, but the combat effectiveness has been improved, for them, it is also a good thing.

In order to make the country more aware of the strength of the opponent, Su Ming very secretly used the An-124 to transport an F-16C from Namibia, which is the latest model of aircraft used by the United States and the main fighter of several surrounding countries, but some are still old F-16A.

This is a very rare opportunity, so the top level of the Air Force also attaches great importance to it, including the commander of the Air Force, many people came to the scene, and in order to maintain the need for secrecy, a small group of planes was specially sent to clear the surrounding airspace, and the area around the airport was also cleared.

The confrontation soon began, still like a super thunderbolt, 60 kilometers away, the F-16 discovered the whereabouts of the Jian-10, and then the radar locked on, and launched an attack at a distance of 40 kilometers, and it was not until this distance that the radar of the Jian-10 discovered the other party, although it also launched a missile in a very short time, but in the air battle, the detection distance of 20 kilometers in advance was a qualitative gap.

The optimal launch distance of medium-range air-to-air missiles is 25 to 45 kilometers, and for aircraft flying at supersonic or subsonic speeds in the air, every second is hundreds of meters, and 20 kilometers is one minute.

The medium-range missile launched by the J-10 did not pose any threat to the other party at all and flew past the opponent's side, but the J-10 took a lot of effort to get rid of the AIM-120 launched by the other party, and when the J-10 got rid of it, the other party had already occupied a favorable attack position, followed by the launch of two AIM-9.

At this time, no matter how the J-10 maneuvers, how to throw infrared decoy bombs, and how to start the infrared jammer, it is useless, and the missile is desperately chased behind until it is judged to hit, and when it falls, the pilot of the J-10 is already sweating profusely.

This situation is not at all comparable with the confrontation drill held by the country itself, and it has a very great impact on the pilot's mood; after coming down, he saw that the pilot's face was extremely bad, and the medical personnel quickly checked his physical condition, and found that the pilot's physical condition had dropped to the point where he could no longer fly at all, which made the entire air force's top brass shocked.

This is not a real war, just a relatively real confrontation drill can strike a pilot into a loss of flight ability, and if this is in wartime, it will not delay the fighter plane, affect the overall situation, and cause consequences that are difficult to match.

"Hundreds of drills are not worth a real battle." Su Ming said a word next to him, and there was another sentence that he didn't say, let alone those fancy drills, and set the actions and plans of the drill in advance, for fear that because of any accidents in the drill, he would always seek stability and safety, so what practical effect could the drill have.

Su Ming once went to visit the main division of the Air Force, and found a red cloth slogan hanging on the hangar from afar: "March to the record of 10,000 hours of safe flight without accidents", in this case, the pilot can see the slogan when he looks up, and how dare he dare to fly boldly, that is, to create a safe flight record of 100,000 hours, so what's the point, what is the point of going to the battlefield, what you want is not safety, if you are skilled.

Check the plane every day, drive out for a circle and come back, how can it be dangerous in this case, it is not good when the weather is bad, night flights are rarely carried out, what is the use of raising a lot of fancy pilots, so after visiting here, Su Ming quickly reported the situation to Cang Yuehai, and directly pointed out that pilots like this, don't expect them to go to the battlefield, just fly at the parade, don't be embarrassed on the battlefield.

Because this division is the one that performs the flight show at the military parade, and it is still a well-known ace division, this is the style, even if you can fly the millimeter and every second, then what's the use, don't look at these on the battlefield.

After Su Ming reported the situation to Cang Yuehai, he soon received the news that the division commander had been retired early, and then that division set off a large-scale combat training activity, and Su Ming didn't know about it in the future, but now it seems that the situation of other divisions is not much better.

The top brass of the Air Force was unwilling to fail, and deliberately transferred another ace pilot from other places, of course, this trump card refers to the drill in the re-confrontation, after removing the factor of the fighter, the quality of this pilot is indeed much better than the last time, at least after landing, there is no such strong emotional fluctuations, but very ordinary.

However, there are not even 100 such pilots in China, and the top brass of the Air Force cannot help but feel distressed: Could it be that the thousands of pilots on active duty have no actual combat ability, and the cost of each pilot ranges from several million to tens of millions.

This can't help but make the top brass of the Air Force extremely frustrated, if they can still accept the result of failure, because after all, the aircraft is not as good as others, and this is also a factor, but if the quality of the pilots is not good, then it is a big problem.

In the past, they flew unfamiliar fighters and dared to confront highly skilled American pilots, not to mention anything else, they could defeat their opponents with that kind of courage, but now, the planes are still inferior to others, but the pilots don't even have the courage to dare to confront, and this is a potentially huge danger.

Of course, in fact, the problem is not as serious as they imagined, many pilots flying the old J-6, J-7, and J-8 are still very daring to confront advanced fighters, but they don't know it at this time, and they still think that this is a common problem, but it can be regarded as a blessing, after this confrontation exercise, the Air Force launched the slogan of relying on actual combat and resolutely winning the next war, but it has found another excuse for the Chinese threat makers abroad.

After wiping the face of some people in China, Su Ming sent the plane back, and the country hoped to have a further understanding of the super MiG, but the super MiG could not be stuffed into the An-124, and it had to go through a lot of procedures to fly over, Su Ming transferred one from the batch of MiG-31 that was transformed for Kazakhstan, although it was not as good as the version used by Su, but it was already very close to the super MiG.

Due to the common data interface, a super MiG commanded four domestic Su-27, facing the twenty-four Jian-7 aircraft, at a distance of more than 300 kilometers, it was found that the aircraft group divided into four squads was found at a distance of more than 300 kilometers, and then, three Su-27 ambushed and attacked the left squad, and after success, they went around to the right middle squad, and the squad between the two teams never thought that the enemy would attack from behind, and they were soon killed, while the MiG-31 created an illusion on the radar, three fake Su-27 and a real Su-27 perfectly confused them, When there were only two squads left, the MiG-31 increased the intensity of electronic jamming, which soon made the radar of the twelve J-7s useless, and then the result was naturally self-evident.

After the air confrontation drill was completed, Su Ming used the MiG-31 to demonstrate the high-altitude and high-speed penetration of the MiG-31 and the low-altitude penetration of the leading aircraft group under electronic suppression.

"This is the form of future warfare, and the priority is not air supremacy, but electromagnetic supremacy and information supremacy, and if information is lost, any means of air defense will lose their effectiveness, planes will not be able to take off, and there will naturally be no way to talk about counterattacks." It's a pity that there is no working EA-6B at hand, otherwise Su Ming would have been able to make them realize the essence of modern warfare.

The state is also very interested in this aircraft, which combines fighters, electronic warfare aircraft, and early warning aircraft, and everyone knows the role of early warning aircraft, but the difficulty of developing early warning aircraft is also unimaginably difficult, and not to mention early warning aircraft, that is, the platform of early warning aircraft has not yet been shadowed.

However, Su Ming was embarrassed and told them that the only way to get this kind of aircraft at present is to buy it from Russia, and then hand it over to him for transformation, otherwise it will have to wait until two years later, because the Mikoyan Design Bureau is only a design bureau, and most of the means of production of this kind of aircraft are on the side of the Gorky Aircraft Factory, and most of the supporting equipment is produced in Russia.

Moreover, Russia has also negotiated with Su Shi many times, and does not want Su to sell this kind of aircraft to the outside world, even if it is sold to the outside world, it must be agreed by them, and if it wants to be free from their restrictions, it is necessary to build Su's own production body, and at present, it is still far away.

Su Ming also does not plan to manufacture all the aircraft parts by himself, and the unimportant places can be completely outsourced, which is a popular situation in the world, for example, the F-2 modified from the F-16 is produced in the United States with a wing, and a wing is produced in the United States.

Since the Super MiG became famous in the first war, Russia has taken the MiG-31 that was thrown in the warehouse and no one wanted it as a treasure, but they did not agree with Su Ming's transformation conditions, and asked them to give cash They are too expensive, and it is currently parked here, Russia has more than 300 planes, and it really doesn't need so much, but they just don't want to, no one has any way, the country wants to touch the mold, and Su Ming has nothing to do.
