"Kadar, you are a professional. Which two fighter options do you think should be chosen? I think the Rain Dragon and the Phantom are pretty good." Alberts took off the simultaneous translation earphones and spoke in difficult and unintelligible Persian. Asked Kadar.
As the envoy of this delegation, Alberts, who has the highest decision-making power, is not a professional in the aviation field, let alone an aviation expert.
He is just a bishop, an authorized messenger from the leader.
Before setting foot in China, Alberts learned some knowledge in the aviation field to make up for his own shortcomings. However, he still needed to rely on Kadar to decide which aircraft model to choose.
"Sir, I think we should choose Panda and Ghost. Dark Halberd and Yulong are not suitable for us. The Dark Halberd's aerodynamic layout is too complex and the technical requirements are very high. It is difficult for our country's aviation industry to meet the production and manufacturing standards. Yulong is a special The fourth-generation fighter aircraft has a narrow positioning and can only carry out ultra-low-altitude penetration bombing. We need a multi-purpose aircraft." Kadar took off the simultaneous translation earphones, explained his views in Persian, and said quickly based on the actual situation.
In Kadar’s view, among the four concept phone solutions with their own characteristics, if he had to choose two, they would definitely be the Panda and the Phantom.
The overall performance of the Dark Halberd has reached four and a half generations, which is very powerful. However, the extremely complex aerodynamic layout is simply a nightmare for the people in the aviation industry.
Look at the aerodynamic layout of the Dark Halberd, canard + central lifting body + variable sweep wing + movable horizontal tail. Is this something that a human can handle?
According to the level of its own backward and old aviation industry, it would be a disaster to take over the production of Dark Halberd fighters after Chengdu Aircraft completed its fighter development plan and withdrew.
As for Yulong, Kadar could only say, "I'm sorry."
Mach 1.8 ultra-low altitude penetration is indeed terrifying and frightening, but it does not meet Iran's needs for fourth-generation fighters.
Iran needs a multi-purpose, high-performance stealth fighter, not a stealth fighter-bomber that can only use a death radius of 800 kilometers.
If there are enough funds, Yulong can serve as the second stealth fighter.
The 8-ton built-in bomb load is really eye-catching.
"Panda and Ghost, are you sure?"
Seeing that Kadar rejected his favorite Yulong, Alberts was not angry, but fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, he confirmed.
There are specialties in the art.
As the top commander of this delegation, Kadar's suggestions and attitude are very important.
"I'm sure, but this is my opinion. We still need to consider the technical advice of aviation experts." Kadar nodded without hesitation, and then emphasized.
"Okay." Alberts nodded and turned to contact the accompanying aviation expert Musal and others to seek technical advice.
Air Force requirements and technical recommendations, both broadly equivalent, were needed to make the final decision.
After receiving Alberts' attitude and inquiries, Musal and another aviation expert Sayev immediately conducted a round of extremely thorough and cautious discussions.
Cautious and meticulous.
The consideration must be thorough and meticulous, nothing can be missed, and no mistakes can be tolerated.
Once something goes wrong, the two experts who were selected to represent Iran's aviation industry will be the sinners of the entire Iran.
Time passes minute by minute.
After thorough discussions, based on the weak strength of Iran’s domestic aviation industry and imperfect basic system, and considering the actual needs of the air force, and based on the own conditions of the four concept aircraft plans, Mussar and Sayev, on behalf of the aviation technical team, provided Provide final technical opinions.
Abandon the very advanced and complex Dark Halberd and the very single-purpose Yulong, and choose the Panda with extremely high overall performance and the Ghost with extremely high individual performance.
There are three reasons for this choice.
First, the design concept is leading.
The overall performance of the Panda is extremely powerful, and it is an enhanced version of the J-20. It emphasizes stealth and maneuverability and is in line with current mainstream design ideas.
The single performance index of the Phantom has reached the peak level of the fourth generation machine. In a sense, it is equivalent to the Phantom concept machine reaching the peak level of the fourth generation machine.
Second, performance requirements.
Iran, located in the Middle East, needs an excellent stealth fighter that can withstand the Western world, and has high requirements for comprehensive performance and combat effectiveness.
Third, it is in line with the industrial base.
The Panda concept aircraft uses canards + variable sweep wings, and the Phantom uses an extreme stealth aerodynamic layout. The basic demand for the aviation industry is lower than that of the first two.
After all, the aerodynamic aspect can use the secret power-to summon flying daddy.
Well, the industrial side too.
After receiving technical advice from two aviation industry expert representatives, Musal and Sayev, Alberts looked solemn and cast an inquiring gaze again for a second confirmation. Is this the final opinion?
The two men looked solemn and nodded affirmatively.
At this moment, with the two of them confirmed, it was Alberts' turn to make the final decision.
The air suddenly became almost solid.
At this time, it was 20 minutes before the reservation, and there was only one minute left.
After receiving the second-confirmed final opinion from the technical field, Alberts closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and held his breath without seeing any change in appearance.
Seeing the changes in Alberts, our own participants, who had been waiting quietly, instantly understood that the moment had come to decide the fate of the four concept machines.
The three main promoters of the concept machine plan in Hancheng felt nervous, straightened their backs, and faced the final choice with a good attitude.
Zuo Xue narrowed her eyes and adjusted her body subconsciously, trying to maintain a standard sitting posture.
"agree."
Just when the scheduled time reached 20 minutes, Alberts suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and made the final decision under the attention of everyone.
Choice - Panda and Ghost.
After hearing the decision from the envoy, the members of the delegation finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your representative, after our rigorous discussion, finally confirmed that the two participating models will be promoted."
With a beaming face, Kadar quickly picked up the microphone and announced his choice to the Chinese participants opposite who were maintaining meeting discipline: "The first model, CF-26 'Panda'."
"Huh!" For a moment, Cao Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxed, and an uncontrollable smile subconsciously appeared on his face.
After advancing to the first round of primary elections, we are now one step closer to success.
Han Cheng's face showed no change, and his posture was natural, as if he was in meditation like an old monk. However, the index finger of his right hand was tapping the conference table lightly, making a subtle sound.
Xu Yun raised his right hand, subconsciously pushed up his glasses, and then put them down.
Zuo Xue's face was calm, his posture was calm and collected, as unshakable as an ancient clock, waiting to reveal the final answer to the primary election.
"The second model, Z-1 'Ghost'." Kadar did not whet everyone's appetite, cast an apologetic look at Han Cheng, who was like an old monk, and Xu Yun, who was full of expectations, and then directly announced Answer.
After finishing his words, he glanced at Zuo Xue, who was showing a calm attitude at the end of the Huaxia seat, and sighed inwardly. He is indeed a super genius, and his mental quality is too strong.
Looking at Zuo Xue, I suddenly felt an impulse in my heart when I thought of my twenty-year-old son who was still wandering around all day long.
The urge to beat up my son.
Look at others, then look at you.
