Chapter 219: The Generation Gap Between Fighters
Wu Jianming's words made Xia Yu stunned, but then he realized that this should be the protection measure of the troops after he was kidnapped, and he thought that other people on the Jiangsu ship who had their personal information leaked would also be protected by the troops, and Xia Yu, who had figured this out, was suddenly relieved.
Nodding his head to show that he understood, Xia Yu was about to say something, Wu Jianming said at this time: "By the way, your personal flight code also needs to be replaced, and 'Swift' can no longer be used, so you can think of a flight code name yourself." β
"I see." Xia Yu replied, unscrewed a bottle of water and took a sip, and then said, "But, Team Wu, why don't you just choose a thing like a flight codename?" Anyway, I can just remember it. β
"Pick any one?" Wu Jianming glanced at Xia Yu and said, "Then how about I choose a code name for you casually?" β
"Okay, you say, I'll listen."
"Gas canisters!"
"Poof" Xia Yu directly squirted out with a mouthful of water, and almost didn't choke. Glancing at Wu Jianming angrily, Xia Yu complained: "Team Wu, don't take you to play like this......"
Wu Jianming replied as a matter of course: "You asked me to choose at random, so I chose one at random." β
Xia Yu was helpless, took out a towel from the locker and wiped the windshield that he had sprayed with a large mouthful of water, and then said: "Okay, then I'll think of a code name myself, so I won't trouble Captain Wu." β
"It's long overdue." Wu Jianming smiled and said, "The code name will be given to me tomorrow at the latest." β
"Understood." Xia Yu nodded, and then asked, "Where are we going now?" β
"Take you to a place, and when you get there, I'll tell you the real reason why I called you here."
The two of them chatted while talking, and soon, Wu Jianming drove to a very ordinary small white building. It is not far from the airport runway, a short distance ahead, it is the lounge for standby pilots, next to the white building is several large closed warehouses, not far from the warehouse, several large oil storage tanks stand there, fuel trucks, tractor trailers and other airport work vehicles are placed in unison, this is obviously a work area of the airport ground staff, how did Wu Jianming bring himself here, Xia Yu wondered in his heart.
followed Wu Jianming to the door of the small building, and soon the two came to the two sentries who were standing guard, Wu Jianming took out a certificate, and then motioned to Xia Yu to take out his military ID card as well, and said to one of the sentries: "Routine quality inspection." β
The two sentries checked the military ID cards of Wu Jianming and Xia Yu, saluted and let them go, and Wu Jianming took Xia Yu into the small building.
As soon as he entered the hall, Wu Jianming was very familiar with Xia Yu and came to a room, Xia Yu was a little surprised, because there was no one in this room, and the furnishings were extremely simple, except for a tea table and two three-person sofas, there was nothing left, Xia Yu asked: "Team Wu, what are we doing here?" β
"Sit down first." Wu Jianming naturally sat on the sofa, motioned for Xia Yu to sit opposite, and then said, "I called you here because of a special job requirement." β
"Special work?"
"Yes, special work." Wu Jianming nodded, poured a cup of tea for Xia Yu, and then said: "I have to explain in advance that this work is very confidential, even if you don't want to participate, you can't reveal any relevant content to the outside world about what I said to you today, understand?" β
"Yes, I understand." When it came to specific work, Xia Yu became serious.
"Well, the first thing I'm going to sue you is about your identity." Wu Jianming said: "Your current military status is the pilot of the special flight regiment of the 34th Air Division, of course, these are all things in the text, in fact, you don't need to accept any orders from the regiment, do you know this?" β
"Yes, I know."
"The next thing I'm going to sue you is the reason why I specially brought you here with Ye Zi this time." Wu Jianming took a sip of tea and said, "I think you also know that with the development of our country's economic and scientific strength, our country's military strength is also increasing. Especially after 2010, our military industry is almost a blowout development, a large number of modern weapons and equipment troops, directly make our military strength in a short period of time increased sharply, although there are still a lot of problems, but think about the J-10 before, we are still using the second-generation aircraft J-7 and J-8, and the United States' fourth-generation aircraft F22 have begun to enter service, you can know how big the gap is between our country's military strength and the United States at that time. β
When Xia Yu heard this, he nodded in agreement, and Xia Yu even felt that Captain Wu's words were polite. In Xia Yu's view, once a whole generation gap is formed between aircraft, it is almost equivalent to a cold weapon encountering **, how big is this gap to describe it, it is better to directly call this gap despair.
If the 0 to 144 number of F22 vs. F15 is just the result of a simulated war, and it is impossible to guarantee what the real situation will be, then in the military conflict between Israel and Syria in 82, the largest air battle since entering the jet era, the battle between Israel's F15 and other third-generation aircraft and Syria's MiG-21 and other second-generation aircraft can basically explain what the generation difference between aircraft means.
In the air battle in the Bekaa Valley, more than 100 supersonic jet fighters from Israel and Syria fought in this airspace, countless air-to-air missiles shuttled back and forth, almost tearing apart the sky of the entire Bekaa Valley, and the planes of both sides reached more than 500 sorties, and in this famous air battle, the most jaw-dropping thing is the battle loss ratio between the two sides: 84 to 0, Israel annihilated 84 enemy planes, and it did not lose any of its own.
Although Syria admitted defeat, it said that it had also shot down Israeli planes, and the battle loss ratio should be about 4 to 1, but it was impossible to produce evidence, so for a long time, the results of the air battle in the Bekaa Valley were based on Israel's war report, and even in 2002, the June journal of the United States Air Force Association also quoted the latest number announced by Israel, 87 to 0.
I am afraid that no one other than Israel and Syria can know what the ratio of war losses in the air battle in the Bekaa Valley is, and even if the Soviet investigation report was later leaked, it was clearly stated that Syria had indeed shot down Israeli planes, and even directly wrote the number jΓΉ, it could not really prove the actual situation of that air battle.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that in the battle between the third-generation aircraft and the second-generation aircraft, even according to the number given by the defeated Syria, the result of the battle was 60 to 14, and the ratio reached 4 to 1.
In any case, the third-generation aircraft of the leading generation tore apart the defense line composed of the second-generation aircraft without scruples in this air battle, there is no doubt about this, it was 1982 at that time, but in 2000, our country was still using the J-7, a fighter that imitated the MiG-21, and the J-8, which was upgraded and developed from the J-7, was also a second-generation aircraft.
Will such an aircraft fight back against the F22? I'm afraid that anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs knows how desperate the gap can be.
Xia Yu shook his head and listened carefully to what Wu Jianming was going to say next.
