T50 is a fourth-generation multi-purpose single-seat twin-engine heavy fighter developed by Russia to counter the F22 of the United States, and since the first flight of the T50, it has been a full 20 years older than the F22. Because of Russia's economic embarrassment, the surrounding and its own environment, and the lack of scientific research and technical personnel, the research and development of the T50 is intermittent, if there is not enough technical reserves, it may not be able to achieve the first flight 4 years earlier than the J-20.

And when the T50 successfully made its first flight, military fans found that this fourth-generation aircraft, which Russia said was going to compete with the F22, actually had no unique and important design in terms of stealth, especially the air intake, and the fan blades could be seen directly, which means that there is no such thing as stealth on the front of the T50.

Moreover, the T50 looks like a combination of F22 and Su-27. Take out the photos of the T50 and the F22 and compare them, and you will find that the two planes are surprisingly similar, especially the pair of butterfly wings, which are exactly the same as the F22, and ordinary people really can't tell what is the difference between the T50's wing and the F22.

Huge tail vertebrae,Long tail vent,In this regard,It is almost completely inherited from the layout of the Su-27 series,If it is not the same built-in magazine,If it is not the same use of stealth materials,If it is not for some typical stealth design,I am afraid that T50 can not be regarded as a fourth-generation aircraft at all。

Later, the improved model came out, and the style of finalized mass production, the T50 has not changed much in appearance, so this is also the reason why Xia Yu and Hongqi 2 felt very strange about why the Indian T50 was able to find each other first J-20.

Plasma stealth? Hongqi 2's words made Xia Yu shake his head, the plasma stealth technology J-20 had been tried before, but this was actually not too difficult technology. The real difficulty lies in the operation of the plasma generator, the requirements for the on-board power supply equipment are too high, so high that with the current scientific and technological means, it is impossible to cover the entire aircraft, that is, only a few key parts can be selected to install the plasma generator, such as the air intake.

Because of the design of the air intake of the T50, it is impossible to use DSI, that is, the supersonic air intake without a surface layer partition to achieve the invisible effect, if you see a bulging position on the aircraft air intake, it is generally the DSI air intake.

The Russian R&D team naturally knows that the intake tract is not invisible, so it strongly recommends plasma stealth technology, installing the plasma launcher at the inlet opening, the cabin and other weak places in passive invisibility. But the actual situation is that the external open plasma flow field is very unstable, and for fighters who need to constantly change their flight attitude in the air, it is simply impossible to uniformly form a large area of plasma covering, that is to say, this so-called active stealth still has a very big problem in practical application.

But T50 can't wait, J-20 research and development progress compared to T50, can almost be regarded as the last to come, in order to ensure the traditional air force advantage, and India research and development of the two-seat T50 fighter, and J-20 one after the other, began to serve. However, compared with the orders of hundreds of J-20s, India's first batch of orders has only 24 aircraft, and only eight aircraft have been delivered to India so far.

Xia Yu doesn't care about how many T50s there are in India, and the current situation is that Xia Yu can't understand why the T50 can first discover it by itself and then launch an attack. If you don't figure out this problem, if you encounter it again next time, it is very likely that you will encounter the same attack method, and Xia Yu can't guarantee that he will be so lucky to avoid the attack of the opponent's missile next time. Therefore, the top priority is to find a way to analyze the operation of Indian fighters, and then come up with a way to crack it.

Under the dark night sky, the tarmac was also pitch black, standing in the chilly night breeze, Xia Yu turned his head and glanced at the J-20 in the hangar, and then said to Hongqi 2 and Hongqi 3 who had just walked over: "You guys go to rest first, we don't know if this mission will be extended, so it's important to ensure rest time, if there is nothing that needs to be reported urgently, let's do this today, do you have any questions?" ”

Hongqi 2 and Hongqi 3 both shook their heads, and then after saying goodbye to Xia Yu respectively, under the leadership of the soldiers stationed at the Shigatse Synthesis Base, they walked to the temporarily arranged dormitory, while Xia Yu immediately borrowed a work uniform from the ground maintenance personnel and put it on, and then began to work in the hangar with the maintenance technician who was responsible for overhauling his car.

It took Xia Yu a night of detailed inspections, large and small, to finally confirm that there was no problem with his J-20, just like when he first left the factory, as long as he filled up the fuel, he would be able to go to the sky and fight again. Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said hello to the two maintenance technicians who were also tired, and the three of them took a few bites of breakfast so-so, and fell asleep in the bed.

There was no plan to return to Chengfei, because last night, shortly after Xia Yu returned, he received an urgent order from his superiors, asking him to temporarily stay in the Shigatse Synthesis Base to stand by. Because a new round of military confrontation with India has started on the border, Xia Yu and the three need to continue to stay, although because they are not in the Shigatse Air Force formation, Xia Yu and the three do not need to accept the command of the Xigaze Air Force Commander in their daily state, but if necessary, they still need to take to the air again to fight.

However, before that, Xia Yu needs to figure out how the T50 in India can not be discovered by himself, but can find out the reason for his own and temporarily attack, with the help of the starry sky, Xia Yu is convinced that he can find a solution, so after sleeping for three hours, he entered a state of light sleep, Xia Yu, who was beginning to dream, suddenly felt embarrassed, and suddenly became a vast plateau in front of him. It was very similar to the battlefield where Xia Yu flew last night.

His brain flickered a few times, and when he saw the silver metal dictionary floating quietly in front of him, Xia Yu came back to his senses, and it turned out that he had entered the consciousness space.

Looking at the starry sky dictionary, Xia Yu smiled and said: "No matter how many times I have experienced it, every time I am pulled into the consciousness space from my sleep, I will always be in a trance, as if I am dreaming. ”

"That's because you were really dreaming before." The starry sky sounded calmly: "Today's study time, do you still want to continue to study the unified theory of electroweak?" ”

"Not today." Xia Yu shook his head and said, "Let's simulate what I experienced last night." ”

"Understood." Xingkong replied, and then began to simulate Xia Yu's flight operation and spatial state in the consciousness space. Soon, Xia Yu saw that he was driving the J-20 out of the mouth of the canyon, launching missiles to attack the Su-30MKI, and at the same time, the missiles suddenly launched 25 kilometers away from him.

Because it was just last night's process simulation, the starry sky did not simulate the T50, but everything was played again according to what had been experienced, including the snowflakes brought up by Xia Yu driving the J-20 against the ridge and the decoy bombs that were thrown when the low-altitude detonation was later carried out, Xia Yu once again carefully watched the whole process from the perspective of God.

"Starry sky, three-dimensional simulation view, see what method can be used, the other party can do it first, I can find and attack."
