Somewhere on a TV station, a military talk show.

"Hello audience friends, welcome to the military intelligence observation column."

Chu Yue, as the host of this show, skillfully said her opening words.

"Our guest in this episode is Professor Zhang Xingyang from the University of Astronautics."

"Hello, Professor Zhang."

Although it is the first time to appear on such a TV show, Zhang Xingyang has not been uncomfortable.

"Hello, host!"

After saying hello to the host, Zhang Xingyang began to wait for the other party to start today's topic.

This festival is mainly to promote the J-10S fighter that has just appeared at the air show.

For a long time before, the military propaganda side has been said to be a war, and in fact, there is a reason, that is, there are really not many things that can be used.

After really possessing the weapon with the best force value in the world, there is also a timely fear of war.

"Professor Zhang, some time ago, two fighter jets appeared at the air show, which attracted the attention of many people."

The moderator starts asking questions along with the pre-set questions.

"This period of time has also been a hot topic of discussion."

"But for the details of these two fighters, everyone doesn't understand very well, can you tell us about it?"

Explaining to you J-10A and J-10S was originally Zhang Xingyang's main goal on the show this time.

So without any hesitation, he said directly: "No problem, host." ”

At this time, two sets of photos appeared on the big screen behind the show, and Zhang Xingyang began to explain the photos:

"First of all, let's look at the fighter on the left, this is our third-generation aircraft, J-10A."

"Professor Zhang, how is the performance level of our J-10A compared to other third-generation aircraft in the world?"

The host tried his best to play the role of a platter, delivering the words in a timely manner when Zhang Xingyang needed it.

"At present, we evaluate the performance of third-generation aircraft, mainly looking at such indicators."

Zhang Xingyang switched the photos on the screen at this time, and changed to the photos when J-10 was doing falling leaves:

"The first is high maneuverability, which requires the aircraft to have a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1, so that the aircraft can make this kind of maneuver in battle."

In the era before 05 years, everyone's thinking about the traditional interceptor has not been completely abandoned, and the pursuit of speed and maneuverability is far beyond the imagination of later generations.

Therefore, Zhang Xingyang did not use the later standards to evaluate, but used the current standards to prove the excellence of Jianten.

"Our J-10A, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the aircraft has reached 1.5, and it can complete a variety of maneuvers."

"In this regard, whether it is Maozi's Su-27, or the Western F-16 or Mirage-2000, they are far inferior to us."

Hearing that his fighter far surpassed other fighters in the world in terms of maneuverability, everyone in the studio applauded.

Everyone felt very comfortable in their hearts and felt a sense of pride.

In the past, everyone could only salivate at other people's advanced fighters, but at this time, they finally have such a world-leading fighter jet!

It's as if their children finally stood up after being aggrieved for many years, making everyone feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Xingyang looked at the people present, almost couldn't stop applauding, and laughed.

In the end, it was under the call of the host that everyone's applause gradually stopped.

"The second most important thing in the performance of the third-generation aircraft is the radar system, which is now commonly used with Doppler radar, and our J-10A uses full-waveform airborne pulse Doppler radar."

This term is relatively difficult for most ordinary people to understand.

The host also said very appropriately at this time:

"Professor Zhang, we don't know much about radar."

"This full-waveform airborne pulse Doppler radar, is it powerful?"

Zhang Xingyang also understands that there is no need to talk to everyone about professional knowledge, just need to explain its role to them.

"Take the familiar F-16A/B as an example, it uses the AN/APG-66 radar, and our radar performance surpasses them in all aspects!"

"Both in terms of target accuracy and detection range, it has reached the world-class level."

In terms of radar, Zhang Xingyang has not been hung up, and all of it has been done by domestic scientific researchers little by little.

Therefore, when he was introduced, Zhang Xingyang was also very emotional, they are real heroes who can make such achievements at a time when the funds and equipment are not as good as those abroad!

"Even after the improvement and upgrading of the F-16C/D, our radar performance is basically the same as theirs!"

After Zhang Xingyang finished talking about these two points, he didn't say anything, but stopped.

Although J-10A still has a lot of unique skills, such as their weapon system, there is no need for these hole cards to be exposed in one show.

"Professor Zhang, you just said that the fighter on the left is our third-generation aircraft J-10A."

At this time, the host flipped the photo on the big screen to the one that was compared left and right of the two fighters at the beginning:

"And what's the fighter on the right?"

"Everybody's interested in it."

"Before the show started, I heard people talking about it backstage."

As a fighter that appeared in the finale of the air show, the J-10S is indeed more eye-catching.

Whether it is its unique semi-stealth design and silver-gray livery, it is different from the previous J-10A.

Not to mention, in the performance at the air show, the J-10S was almost pressing the J-10A to fight.

At this time, the audience also pricked up their ears, and most of them had a strong interest in the more mysterious J-10S.

"This is the latest improved model of the J-10A, J-10S!"

Zhang Xingyang first said the origin and code name of this different-looking fighter:

"On the basis of the J-10A, we have made a wide range of improvements."

"Is it still a third-generation aircraft?"

At this time, even the host Chu Yue was very interested, and asked with great interest looking at the J-10S photos on the big screen.

"Sort of."

Zhang Xingyang first gave a more affirmative answer:

"Although there is no real fourth-generation aircraft in the world yet."

"But everyone still has a relatively common understanding of the performance indicators of the fourth-generation aircraft."

"That is, it has supersonic cruise, high stealth performance, super maneuverability, and over-the-horizon combat capabilities."

"At present, our J-10S, although it is better in these four aspects, is still a little far from really reaching such a standard."

"Let's put it this way, if the level of the fourth-generation aircraft is compared to 4.0, then our current J-10S level is probably 3.8 and 3.9."

"There is still a certain gap between the fourth-generation aircraft."

Although Zhang Xingyang's performance is still a bit conservative, in fact, even this kind of performance is a bit terrifying.

After all, at this time, the F-22 of the Eagle Sauce family had just completed its first flight, and it was still five or six years away from really entering service.

At this time in the world, there are no fourth-generation aircraft that have really entered service.

With such performance, J-10S can be claimed to be the first person under the fourth-generation aircraft!

Although the J-10S is a single-engine medium fighter, it is not as good as those twin-engine heavy fighters in terms of range and bomb load.

But as a design that was positioned as a homeland defense fighter, neither of these is a big problem.

And compared with the MiG-29, which is known as the guardian of the airport, the range reaches 3000 kilometers and the combat radius is 1300 kilometers.

It's already considered a long leg.

While there is no way to fully defend the entire South China Sea, most of the valuable areas are still in place.

In the entire world of single-engine fighters, such performance is enough to be called anti-sky!

"Professor Zhang, what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of our J-10S fighter compared with the more famous foreign fighters such as F-16 and Mirage-2000?"

In order to allow the general public to understand the excellent performance of the J-10S, the host directly asked such a question.

"In terms of performance, our J-10 S completely crushes them, and there is something bad about the J-10S."

"Then there is only the price, and the J-10S is very expensive because it uses more new materials and new technologies."

In fact, the cost price of the J-10 S is almost more than 100 million, of course, this is the price of domestic currency, converted into US dollars, probably less than 30 million US dollars.

The F-16 at the same time was sold for more than 40 million US dollars, and the cost price should be about the same as that of the J-10S.

The Mirage-2000 is much more expensive, and in a single arms sale in 99 years, the price of the Mirage-2000 was $54 million.

However, the prices in China are much cheaper than those in the West.

Therefore, if you look at the price level, the cost of the J-10S is higher.

But the performance of the J-10S also surpasses them by a lot.

After all, this world is a world where krypton gold produces miracles.

It's almost impossible to be cheap and high performance at the same time.

That is, the top management has taken a fancy to such a fighter, and it will definitely be able to have a place above the export market, otherwise it may not be produced in large quantities as it is now.

After all, at this time, the Air Force also did not have many meters.

After Zhang Xingyang finished speaking, the host looked at the hand card in his hand and said:

"Professor Zhang, I think the current audience must have a lot of questions to ask you."

"Next, let's move on to the question session."

In this link, Zhang Xingyang still cheered himself up a little.

After all, although almost all the audience at the scene have gone through a screening, no one knows what strange questions they will ask.

The first question to be asked was a relatively rare female viewer, after clicking on her.

I saw her blushing and asked a little overwhelmed:

"Professor Zhang, do we have a research and development plan for the fourth-generation aircraft?"

This question can be said to be of great interest to many people present.

By this time, Eagle Sauce had almost made public their F-22 R&D program.

And everywhere began to boast about how advanced the aircraft, which had just completed its first flight.

Therefore, everyone is also looking forward to when their fourth-generation aircraft will come out.

However, there was not much opportunity to find people in this area to ask questions.

This time, I had the opportunity to ask Professor Zhang who was in charge of this work directly, and I was naturally reluctant to let it go.

"We currently do not have a plan to develop a fourth-generation aircraft."

Zhang Xingyang's first sentence first poured a basin of cold water on everyone, which calmed down the excited hearts of everyone present after learning about the J-10S.

"The development of the fourth-generation aircraft is different from our past fighter research and development plan, and the manpower and material resources required are relatively huge."

"We're still in the argumentation stage."

These words spoken by Zhang Xingyang are half-truths and half-truths.

Fourth-generation aircraft does require a relatively large amount of research and development funds, but that is in the case of almost no way forward.

After Zhang Xingyang gave a nearly complete design drawing and process plan, Chengfei's current research and development speed is comparable to that of the latest rocket engine.

The prototype will be ready for completion by next year at the latest.

So it's to say it's in the argumentation stage or something.

However, as one of the windows of external publicity, it is all kinds of fake news mixed with true news.

As for believe it or not, it can only be said that it depends on the IQ of the opponent.

No, no.

There are really countries in this world that will dismantle their own production lines because their opponents say that they will not develop fourth-generation aircraft.

Eagle sauce! That's you!

The next two or three questions are basically about the J-10S or the next generation of fighters.

There is only one problem that makes Zhang Xingyang feel embarrassed.

It was a good-looking girl who asked if she could be Zhang Xingyang's girlfriend.

Zhang Xingyang was a little stunned on the spot, he didn't expect such a bold girl to be at this time.

However, Zhang Xingyang still rejected her directly, and he had no plans to fall in love.

"Professor Zhang, I think we still have to look at the performance of fighter jets from the perspective of actual combat."

At this time, a spectator who stood up and was obviously here to stir up trouble said:

"Only actual combat can truly test the performance of a fighter!"

"J-10 has never even participated in actual combat, how can it compare to the F-16, which has achieved many actual combat examples!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at the other party with a smile and said:

"You are very right, I also think that actual combat is the real criterion for testing combat effectiveness."

"But if we haven't fought against, we think we're inferior."

"Maybe it's too simplistic."

"In a local conflict that ended not long ago, the F-16 of one side was forced to get close to the battlefield under the threat of the MiG series fighters on the opposite side."

"Then can I think that the F-16 is inferior to the MiG-29?"

At this time, the eagle blowing on the opposite side obviously didn't know what to do.

After all, in his heart, the Eagle Sauce family's fighter is the best in the world, how could it be defeated by the MiGs of the mere airport defenders.

However, he did not have the opportunity to continue to speak, and there was no way to continue to speak hard.

I was only able to bow my head in my seat.

"You may have questions, but I can tell you responsibly."

Zhang Xingyang glanced at the audience and said word by word:

"J-10S, no one can beat it!"
