Of course, there is only a certain degree of similarity.
The Rafale's maneuverability and instantaneous circling angular speed are at the forefront of third-generation aircraft with its canard aerodynamic layout. It is equipped with modern avionics. Its comprehensive performance and combat effectiveness have reached the third-generation and a half standard, surpassing the J-10a and J-10b, which are both medium-sized fighters. The J-10C is basically the same.
As for the J-10d 'Fire Dragon', whether it is the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the quasi-fourth generation, the maneuverability that can be called the fourth generation, or the cost-effectiveness, it is far superior to the third-and-a-half-standard Rafale fighter jet.
If nothing else, one Rafale with a unit price of US$400 million is worth four J-10Ds.
"..." The female operator was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Have good eyesight?
Your eyesight is simply incredible, okay? !
The female operator was speechless when she thought of her declining eyesight and the fact that she was about to wear glasses.
He took a deep breath, stopped thinking, looked serious, tapped the keyboard with both hands, and transmitted the military information of the registration report: "Zero, the data information has been recorded."
The military information that Zhou Hai visually observed has a certain degree of value and needs to be recorded in detail according to regulations and stored in the command center database.
"I don't know how good the fighting ability of you Indian Asans is. I hope we can have a chance to fight against each other in the future."
After Zhou Hai carefully observed and reported the relevant information, he looked at the angry expression and the changes in the lips of the pilot in the No. 286 Su-30mki cockpit. He silently read the lip language and knew its meaning. His expression remained the same, indifferent, and he smiled.
Battle, the mission and duty of a warrior.
To be honest, looking at the Su-30mki and two Rafale fighter jets ten kilometers away on the left, Zhou Hai was really itchy and wanted to fight.
But his heart was itching, and Zhou Hai would not be so quick as to violate disciplines and rules without permission, and get close to him at the risk of leaking the secrets of the J-10d.
Zhou Hai had vaguely read another meaning of this circumnavigation mission. It was not only to check the overall condition of the J-10d after a long and extreme flight, but also to reveal the secret meaning to the outside world.
We will not officially announce the existence of the J-10d, nor release any data or basic performance, but we will tell the outside world that we do have a new fighter jet, which is even more difficult to mess with.
"boom!"
Too lazy to pay attention to the Indian pilots who kept yelling and cursing in the public channel, Zhou Hai, who was leisurely and comfortable, took out the military chocolate from the flight meal set, gently bit off a piece, and made a crisp and weak sound, while eating. Appreciate each other's performance.
Not long after the start of this publicly funded business trip, I witnessed many magnificent natural landscapes with my own eyes, and it was really beautiful to be accompanied by a Su-30mki and two Rafales.
Time passed by, and more than fifty minutes later, the J-10d 'fire control', which strictly maintained a distance of 10 kilometers, crossed the middle and western sections, left the majestic Himalayas and the Tibetan-Qinghai Plateau, and flew over the border area between the two countries. , bidding farewell to three Indian fighter jets that followed closely and continued to provoke.
All the way north!
Military reconnaissance satellites operating in low-Earth orbit tracked in real time that the J-10d "Fire Dragon" returned to the airspace boundary and flew into the Pamir Plateau, known as the "Roof of Asia."
Soon after, we arrived at the mythical mountain range covered in ice, the first sacred mountain that occupies the highest position in Chinese history and culture - Kunlun!
"Kunlunxu, the ancestor of thousands of mountains, did not disappoint me." Zhou Hai clenched the joystick with his right hand, looking at the huge mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, sighing silently in his heart.
Kunlunxu, this unique mountain range, occupies a sacred position in the hearts of countless Chinese people. It is known as the ancestor of dragon veins and stands the second highest K2 peak in the world.
Coming to the Kunlun Mountains means bordering the friendly Pakistan. Soon, two fc-1 'Fierce Dragon' fighter jets belonging to the Pakistan Air Force flew in at high speed to accompany them.
Of course, due to confidentiality regulations, Zhou Hai still did not have access to public communication channels. He could only communicate verbally with the two Pakistani fighter pilots from a sufficient distance and give them a thumbs up symbolizing friendship.
The two sides kept a sufficient distance and flew together in a tacit understanding. At an altitude of 12,000 meters, they talked about the romance and friendship that belongs only to the chosen ones until they left the border.
Farewell to Pakistan, the entire J-10D did not stop at all, quickly flew over the border between the two countries, which is only about 70 kilometers away from Afghanistan, without encountering the other side's air force, and then arrived at the airspace border with Tajikistan.
Tajikistan, which is suffering from poverty and disease, like Nepal, does not have enough funds and strength to establish a real air force.
poverty!
The only disease in the world that cannot be cured is the disease of poverty.
The entire air force consists of one military transport aircraft and five old and outdated armed helicopters. It does not even have a second-generation supersonic fighter, and its combat effectiveness is almost terrible.
There is no preparation, no real objects.
In a sense, one J-10d 'Fire Dragon' can annihilate all Tajikistan's air force.
Zhou Hai piloted the J-10d as if he were in an uninhabited land, soaring comfortably in the blue sky, admiring the scenery of different regions. When he encountered more beautiful scenery and iconic areas, he picked up his tactical tablet to take photos.
As time went by, Zhou Hai's flight duration became longer and longer, and the flight distance increased steadily.
5000 kilometers!
5500 kilometers!
6000 kilometers!
6500 kilometers!
After arriving at 7,000 kilometers, the J-10d appreciated the country's vast borders and countless beautiful scenery, and then turned to the scheduled supply point, arriving at the extreme western point of China's territory to receive fuel supply from the IL-78 tanker.
Refuel in the air and resurrect with full health.
Immediately afterwards, under the attention of the command center and Huangtianba base, the J-10d "Fire Dragon" filled with science fiction atmosphere once again embarked on the flight path, facing the warm afterglow of the afternoon, pointing directly at the Altai Mountains in the northernmost part of Xinjiang Province. South Col.
8,000 kilometers!
9000 kilometers!
At the 11th hour and 30 minutes of the circular flight mission, the J-10d had already flown over the northernmost point of the western region, flying at high speed along the southeast route, breaking through the 10,000-kilometer mark, and the mission progress was 5%.
By this time, it was already evening.
The sun sets in the west, and the sky is filled with red clouds in the distance.
ground.
The red afterglow shrouded the endless green grassland, surrounded by endless low green grass. In early September, there was a faint chill in the northern grassland night.
"Everyone, hold on, it's going to be night soon. Let's camp on the hill in front of us." Jiang Xiaochun, wearing a light yellow outdoor adventure suit, with dry hair, tired face, white lips, and dirty body, was walking at the end of the team. Ahead, he said loudly.
A few hundred meters ahead, there is a small hill with several exposed rocks. The terrain is higher and it is the best place to camp before nightfall.
"Sister Xiaochun, I can't hold on any longer. Do you think we will die here?"
