"Huh... I didn't expect that a rookie like me would start teaching others how to fly."
After thinking briefly, Zhou Hai let out a breath, and thoughts came to his mind: "Today is September 2nd, 28 days before the National Day, and the mission is four months. It seems that this year I can only celebrate the New Year abroad."
Twenty-eight days later, it will be the 70th anniversary of the National Day. While others are celebrating the National Day, he will board a freighter to South America and experience his first trip abroad.
After the mission ended, it was already early February, and I could only celebrate the New Year in Argentina.
"drop!"
At this time, the tactical tablet emitted a crisp notification sound of receiving a file.
"It's finally here, let's see what these two J-10s sold for export are like."
Zhou Hai collected his scattered thoughts and picked up the tactical tablet. After unlocking it with his fingerprint, he clicked to accept the unread first-level confidential document sent by Lin Jian and carefully read the text information recorded in it.
fc-20x, codenamed 'Qingjiao', is a weakened version of the third-generation Semi-J-10C multi-purpose fighter independently developed by my country. It has an export license and a unit price of US$45 million. In response to the special request of the Afghan Air Force and after consultation, Upgrade the avionics cockpit, install a universal weapons data link interface, airborne weapons modules, and a new identification friend or foe system.
The export version of the 'Red Cat' active phased array radar, photoelectric sight, fly-by-wire control system, DSI inlet, ws-10a 'Taihang' turbofan engine, the aerodynamic layout has not changed, and the overall performance is weaker than the J-10c. Stronger than J-10b and J-10a.
fc-20s, codenamed 'Bluebird', is an enhanced version of the third-generation J-10s two-seat fighter independently developed by my country. It has an export license and has a unit price of US$40 million.
The Red Cat active phased array radar optimizes the aerodynamic layout to a certain extent, uses the basic air inlet, replaces it with the ws-10a 'Taihang' turbofan engine, upgrades the avionics cockpit, strengthens ground attack capabilities and multi-purpose capabilities, and comprehensively Performance evaluation is stronger than J-10s and J-10a.
"Equipped with the exported AESA radar and the WS-10A engine, the comprehensive performance of this exported version of the fc-20x surpasses the J-10B and reaches the standard level of the third and a half generations. It has enhanced multi-purpose and air control performance. No wonder Argentina is willing to spend 45 million US dollars. "
Zhou Hai commented thoughtfully after reading the basic airframe performance parameters of the two export fighter jets, Qingjiao and Jade Bird.
The unit price for external sales is US$45 million. Overall, this price is excellent value for money and extremely cost-effective.
The comprehensive performance and role of airborne active phased array radar are not limited. They are far superior to the original third-generation Doppler radar and edgeless phased array radar. It can allow the poor Argentine Air Force to squeeze in in an instant. The world's second-rate air force echelon, its technological level has reached the world's advanced level.
After all, there are only a few fighter jets equipped with active phased array radars in the air forces of various countries.
The ws-10a aviation engine developed by Liming Aviation Development is mature, safe, stable and reliable, with sufficient daily consumption and parts supply, as much as you need.
Liming Aviation, which has survived those difficult years, is now enjoying the fruits of its hard work. It ranks among the world's third largest producers of high-thrust aero-engines and enjoys the ripe and delicious fruits.
"The operation methods of Qingjiao and Qingniao are exactly the same. There are no changes. After a short period of adaptation to flight simulation and real aircraft, although they cannot achieve the same proficiency as the J-10d, there are no problems with operation and teaching."
Zhou Hai thought silently, holding the tablet in his hand, clicking on the softly glowing screen, carefully studying Qingjiao's detailed body performance parameters page by page, and viewing the first-level confidential actual operation video images provided by Chengluoma.
Get familiar with the flight simulator, then fly solo on a real aircraft to obtain the pilot qualification. This is the only channel for modification training for any new aircraft model.
Zhou Hai has nothing to do with the two export fighters, Qingjiao and Qingniao. After all, the J-10 series operate in exactly the same way.
"By the way, this time the Argentine Air Force is in our arms. I don't know what type of air-to-air missiles it will purchase."
Zhou Hai touched his chin, thinking about the history of world air combat that he had read, and was curious about it.
Missiles, the most basic and core attack method of fighter jets, launch fatal strikes from the physical level and destroy them.
The performance of missiles determines its combat effectiveness to a certain extent, and its importance is second only to that of fighter jets.
The 20 Blue Dragons and 4 Blue Birds will allow the Argentine Air Force, which only uses propeller fighters, to be reborn and reborn. It will squeeze from the fifth-rate air force in the world to the bottom of the second-rate air force and return to the era of jet fighters.
But fighter planes alone are not enough. They are purely for decoration.
Being organic and flexible is the real way.
The Snake 2, Magic 2, and Matra medium-range bullets of that year were early standards of the third generation. After nearly forty years, they were in an old and useless state. They were completely unsuitable for the fierce background of modern warfare. There was a mark on the forehead. With two words - backwardness.
Those who fall behind will be beaten. Behind this wise saying is a bloody and cruel reality.
"Export version of PL-8b? This stuff should be out of stock. There is actually an export version of PL-12. I didn't expect to sell this kind of thing. The performance of the fourth-generation medium-range bullet has been emasculated to a certain extent. The maximum range is 65 Kilometers, the no-escape zone is 35 kilometers, okay.”
Zhou Hai flipped through the first-level confidential electronic files and carefully checked the data content. Soon, the airborne weapons sales catalog for the entire order appeared. He clicked on the screen to browse the content, and after making comments, when the third page of content was displayed, his whole body His eyes suddenly widened: "Huh? Wait, what the hell is SD-13? It looks familiar. Damn it, isn't this the PL-13?! Did the Argentine Air Force sell their ass? They actually got this kind of missile!"
What is Pili-13?
The internal confidentiality level of this thing has reached Level 1!
A real early warning aircraft killer!
The PL-13 long-range air-to-air missile, designed by the Sixth Research Institute of China's Air-to-Air Missile Research Institute, uses a composite guidance composed of a solid rocket ramjet engine, active radar + Beidou satellite + data link middle section, and has extremely strong anti-electromagnetic interference measures. It was born to combat strategic early warning aircraft, and its comprehensive performance reaches the fourth and a half generation level.
The whole body is condensed with various cutting-edge technologies, including a maximum range of 210 kilometers, a no-escape zone of 160 kilometers, and a maximum maneuverable overload of 40g.
The Pili-13 ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles are stored in the level 3 top-secret ammunition depot at their own Pengcheng base. They are stored at a constant temperature. The price of a single missile is as high as 15 million yuan. Under normal circumstances, they are not mounted on the aircraft and are too expensive.
To be honest, Zhou Hai never expected that the Argentine Air Force would actually get a performance-stripped version of the PL-13.
"My dear, exporting SD-13 must have some ulterior motives... Well, forget it, I won't get involved in this kind of thing. I'm too lazy to think about it, so I'll just be my instructor."
