In addition, in order to reduce the empty weight and aerodynamic drag, under the trade-off of giving up part of the high-altitude and high-speed performance and improving the subsonic maneuverability, the "villain" also canceled the tail brace and pelvic fin of the fuselage, reduced the vertical tail area, and increased the wing area and aspect ratio; Combined with some other weight reduction and drag reduction measures, the use of empty weight after the installation of WS-15B is lighter than that of J-10B, and the air combat thrust-to-weight ratio has been greatly increased to more than 1.5 points on the basis of J-10B!

With a high thrust-to-weight ratio and TVC capabilities, the J-10E's combat power is far from being comparable to that of the standard J-10A/B.

Of course, after such a toss, the performance parameters of the "villain" are very uneven, and the high-altitude and high-speed performance has declined, basically falling to the low level of the F-16/J79.

Not only that, in order to pursue the thrust-to-weight ratio and reduce weight, the radar and other electronic systems of the "villain" have also been simplified, and the radar cone, which is a little sharper than the prototype, is only equipped with a Type 1471 low-aperture PD radar, and the over-the-horizon capability is not as good as the J-10A equipped with the Type 1473 radar.

Of course, in the "freelance" fighting competition, this is nothing, and the absence of over-the-horizon capabilities is not a big flaw.

Thinking of so much with enthusiasm, in fact, it was all obtained from browsing the web when I was in China, Long Yun had been staying in the aviation competition circle before, and he paid more attention to the product line of domestic fighter manufacturers, and he was no stranger to J-10E, of course, this kind of model born from fighting, the disadvantages of playing IFT events were too obvious, and it was very passive to let the opponent's rows of missiles come over at over-the-horizon, so it was not considered when purchasing fighters in "Chenlong".

What now. Meet the new "villain" at the Fort Charqat base. It is, of course, a good thing to be able to use domestic fighters. However, Long Yun is quite puzzled, it seems that the procurement of fighters by the new party regime is indeed a bumpy road, and the new fighters now provided to the 3rd_IHFS are not only not twin-engine heavy aircraft, but also this kind of "free competition" model smuggled from nowhere, this J-10E's fighting performance is of course very strong, but the over-the-horizon is similar to the double delta wing "Seven Masters" like J-7EG.

Yes, just about the same as the MiG-21 brothers. The "Seven Masters" have also used the 1471 radar, so the tactics of their independent third squadron will also change, and if they drive the "villain" to attack, they must be prepared to bravely attack and visually fight in the air to solve the enemy?

"Hah, I think that's the same. Brother Long, are you sure that the 'villain' is equipped with a turbofan fifteen B engine, right? ”

Qi Hui, who was watching from the side, also agreed with Long Yun's speculation, and he was also a J-10A "Raptor" who had flown for a period of time when he was playing in the "Thunder" team, and he had a very comprehensive understanding of this series of fighters. Now when I see the "villain" who specializes in strengthening martial arts and has a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 1.5 points, I naturally feel a little itchy:

"Tsk. In this way, the 'villain' is really not in vain,—— at least the 'Fighting Falcon' and Mirage 2000 of the Liberal Party are completely stress-free! Hey, I said Brother Long, it seems to be here this time...... Three, four, four J-10E, you just ran back from Syria, the squadron will definitely assign you new fighters, how about returning the Red 15 to you, can I use this 'villain' to find a feeling? ”

"Find, find ...... feeling?"

In the end, he was talking to the "weirdo", Long Yun felt that things were a little bad when he heard it, this guy was just about to leave his red No. 15 Su-27SKM a few days ago, and now his ass is not hot, so he is thinking about changing to a new plane? However, the pilot's temperament is often so straightforward, and Long Yun didn't think much about it, but he didn't plan to change fighters with Qi Hui, no matter how he said it, it should be a unified arrangement in the squadron to count:

"Haha, I don't care. But if you think about it, well, I forgot to tell you that the high thrust-to-weight ratio of this J-10E 'villain' is also exchanged for a simple weapon, and in standard air combat mode, it can only carry six PL-9Cs or four R-73E; If you talk about it from the perspective of the bounty," Speaking of this, Long Yun saw Qi Hui licking his lips, obviously very concerned about this topic, "The more missiles you bring, the more calm the combat response will be, the Su-27SKM can hang twelve missiles without counting composite pylons, which one is more convenient to use, what do you say?" ”

He was asked to go to Red 15 by his compatriots before, but now Long Yun has no intention of pushing the boat down the river, he always feels that this "weirdo" acts in an eclectic way, and is worried that he and the violent combination of the "villain" will cause some trouble, and he also wants to experience the violent power of the "High SEP Stick Ten" now.

A few words poked at the weakness of his partner, and he raised his hand and rubbed his fingers a few times while speaking, Long Yun put on a serious expression of "you know", and Qi Hui next to him immediately understood it:

"Yes, yes! -- If you want to talk about improving your achievements and earning bonuses, it is better to have more missiles. ”

"Haha, yes."

While patting this "strange man" on the shoulder, Long Yun, who had just escaped from the rebel-occupied area, was in a good mood, most likely because he saw the new fighter, and the hardships of the previous crash and escape were temporarily forgotten.

In order to seize the time to get acquainted with the newly arrived "villains" and strive to take to the air as soon as possible, Long Yun chatted with the ground crew pilots of the squadron for a while, confirmed that several old simulators at the Fort Scharqat base had several JùE packages of J-10E, and then walked out of the hangar with his partner and returned to the camp tent to sleep. After tossing for several days, he hasn't slept a single punctual night, even if there is a new fighter supplement as a stimulus, he is a little unbearable now, and he must take a good rest.

After a long wait, in which the new Arab tactical air force 3rd_IHFS finally waited for the long-awaited new forces.

Several J-10E, which does not match the "heavy" name of the squadron, but it is also a rare strength enrichment.

Of course, not every air force in the Middle East is as tight and overstretched as NATA, and with the military assistance of the Eastern Union and the Western Union, the "Chengguan Team" ALSA, which sits in the Middle East, is also changing fighter jets in an orderly manner.

The sun was slanting in the west, and there was not a single cloud in the sky, and a sandstorm that ravaged the Arabian Peninsula until Turkey turned into a shallow dust storm in the Nile Valley during the dry season, which barely affected the normal take-off, landing and flight of warplanes, except for a slight reduction in visibility.

In the sprawling air force training base of ALSA, on the outskirts of Cairo, the capital of the Republic of Egypt, the F-15 "Eagle" fighters of the F-15 "Eagle" fighter group, which used to be gathered here for a while and parked on a full tarmac, have disappeared and have been replaced by a new generation of heavy air superiority fighters with light gray paint and glittering cockpit canopies.

After more than an hour of flight training, with a long roar from the horizon, the gray heavy fighters returning from the formation had just completed landing, the wing side was painted with a huge dark red five-pointed star, the F-22A "Raptor" numbered 2219 was dragged to the parking area by the battery car, the thick one-piece cockpit canopy slowly rose, and the sturdy young man supported the edge with one hand and jumped to the ground on the boarding step sticking out of the side of the fuselage.

As soon as he left the cockpit with constant temperature and humidity, a burst of dust drifted in the air, making the young man who took off the breathing apparatus frown slightly, and he raised his hand to touch the skin of the fighter next to him, as if he was considering how the engine damage would be to the aircraft taking off and landing in this weather.

Returning to Cairo airbase, receiving the F-22A, a week has passed since then.

Gao Meiyu, a hired pilot from the ALSA's Fifth Air Wing, returned to the Arab League Defense Air Force Training Base as the first batch of personnel in the wing to rewear "Raptor" fighters, and flew the newly contacted F-22A for a few days to take off for training.

With the help of the "volunteers" of the US military who arrived in Hong Kong with the fighter planes, and with the help of a lot of experience accumulated in the flight simulator, the process of ALSA's fighter refitting this time was quite fast; Although there is not much comparison between the flight experience on the simulator and the actual flight hours, the hired pilots who are accustomed to American fighters still quickly get started, not only learning how to control the powerful and violent mount of the "Raptor", but also beginning to practice the tactics of stealth fighters in the air to accumulate strength for the upcoming large-scale operation.

"Hey, 'Yu',—— played well today, seriously!"

"Ah...... Hehe, it's okay. ”

Raising his hand to hurriedly enter and confirm the flight log, handing the tablet back to the ground crew, the young man with the helmet clipped under his arm heard the greeting of his comrades passing by, he waved and responded without saying much, and then followed a few people briskly to the commuter battery car in the base.

In the past few days of real aircraft flight training, he was separated from his partner due to the arrangement of the wing, and Gao Meiyu, who arrived at the Cairo training base with his comrades, has become accustomed to being alone, and of course the relationship between him and other hired pilots is also very harmonious, which is just a personal habit to put it bluntly. While walking, he took out his mobile phone, he looked at his partner Li Gejian's message, and saw the photos displayed on the screen and the words "I got into some trouble yesterday and was under investigation by my superiors", Gao Meiyu, whose eyebrows were raised, was a little dazed, but he did guess that this was mostly related to that guy's forced landing on the battlefield yesterday and the risky rescue operation.

"Sara Lopez", the captured pilot of Major ECJA, looks like a very beautiful little girl from Western Europe, but what the hell is going on, flying on the battlefield and picking up such strange things?

- Oh, no, no, what's this, it's a big living person! (To be continued......)
