This was a successful operation, in which the US air and navy fighters as the main attack simultaneously attacked five important targets in Tripoli and Benghazi, dropped more than 150 tons of bombs, and destroyed the Gaddafi headquarters, the "commando" training center, the military area of Tripoli airport, the Gaddafi reserve command post, the Benina military airfield, and so on. More than 30 planes of various kinds were damaged, and Gaddafi, the main target of the bombing, was only slightly injured, but Gaddafi's one-and-a-half-year-old adopted daughter was killed, and his two sons, who were more than five years old, were injured, and more than 700 people were killed by the bombing. Only one F-111F fighter-bomber was shot down by ground anti-aircraft artillery during the American air strike.

This loss is almost negligible.

Now, we must open our eyes and look at the outside world to see how modern wars are fought, and the information obtained from secret sources this time is even more useful for everyone to understand this war.

The lights in the conference room were lit, and after reading this information, the leader of the test flight institute said: "Now, everyone can discuss freely and see what kind of inspiration this war has given us." ”

"Modern high-tech warfare is already an electronic and information-based high-tech war." A test pilot said: "We have seen that their various fighters are fighting together, early warning aircraft are providing intelligence support from afar, electronic jamming aircraft are accompanied by electronic suppression, and then various attack aircraft are bombing." This also allows us to see that our gap is too big. ”

Up to now, there are no support aircraft, early warning aircraft, electronic jamming aircraft, these multipliers of air combat forces, and our own side has everything, which is a big gap.

There is a sigh in these words.

"In particular, their air force and navy can already operate jointly, and they also have an integrated C3I system, which is also worth learning from." Someone else said.

The test flight institute is to test the flight of various fighters, they have come into contact here, is already the most advanced in China, but compared with the United States, it is far behind, here once tested the flight of the Air Police No. 1, but after repeated test flights, finally thought that the performance did not meet the requirements and finally gave up.

The most backward thing in China is the electronic system, which cannot be made up until now, and it seems that the gap is still getting bigger and bigger.

Everyone is talking about the gap between you and me, and Qin Feng has been listening there, and finally, when no one has spoken, the leader noticed Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng, tell me."

"The opinions put forward by many comrades just now are very good, in all aspects, we are backward, I believe that our relevant domestic units will also work hard to engage in research and development, I will add a little better, have you noticed that the F-111 bomber is participating in the war?"

The US Navy has aircraft carriers, and it is enough to drive directly into the Mediterranean, a few hundred nautical miles outside Libya, but what about the Air Force?

There were no air bases for the Americans nearby, and these planes, taking off from two British air bases.

And, worse still, they failed to negotiate, France and Spain refused to open their airspace, so their warplanes could not fly in a straight line over the Bay of Biscay, along the coast of Portugal, the Strait of Gibraltar, and in the central Mediterranean to Tripoli airspace and back.

This lap, their range was definitely not enough, so they carried out several in-flight refueling before and after, and at the same time, carried out a long-distance "marathon", flying continuously for 14 hours in the cramped cockpit of a tactical bomber.

Similar to the Soviet Union, the Tu-160 bomber is specially designed for long-distance flights, and there is even a toilet on the plane, but the F-111 is not, this kind of aircraft originally developed by the United States Navy and Air Force was finally unable to go on board because of its bulky size, and became the exclusive of the Air Force, and its overall ejection cockpit is also a feature, however, the pilot's space is only a small area in the cockpit, and they must be flying with diapers.

Now, many people ignore this, air refueling, is also a multiplier of air combat power, now, everyone is on the electronic system, they all feel that their own electronic system is very far behind, that is, no one has found out, in fact, in the air refueling, their own side is still zero!

"Refueling in the air is a way to significantly extend the combat radius, increase the time spent in the air, and improve combat effectiveness." Qin Feng said: "I think we should also carry out research on in-flight refueling." ”

The state adopted the scheme of the typical Soviet Territorial Air Defense Forces, where air defense was needed, a base was deployed, and the airspace around a few hundred kilometers was their air defense zone, and they rarely crossed the line, because there were simply no aircraft with a large range for their use.

This is very simple, but at the same time, it also leads to a huge number of air forces, think of thousands of J-6, this kind of fighter, also needs a large number of pilots, and in the end it is actually a waste.

In the past few years, in the process of contact with Pakistan, the other side has regarded the flight range as an important indicator, and the longer the range, the smaller the number of fighters needed, or in other words, the defense mission of the previous four Jian-6 bases only needs an aviation base with a large range of fighters to defend, so that the scale has been greatly reduced, and the quality has also been improved.

The country has carried out millions of disarmaments, because military spending is spent on personnel, millions of troops, just eat a lot, the air force is a high-tech branch, the task of four Jian-6, handed over to a large-range aircraft, only need one pilot, at the same time need a fighter, four into one, the quality will definitely improve, choose one from the four pilots, it must be better.

Large range, on the one hand, requires advanced aero engines, requires large fuel capacity, and on the other hand, also requires in-flight refueling technology!

"Just as we are now pre-researching fly-by-wire technology and improving the stabilizer by ourselves, I also hope that air refueling technology can become a subject in our test flight institute, so that we can master air refueling technology as soon as possible, so that our air power has the ability to fly long distances."

In foreign countries, air refueling technology is already very common, when he went to Dassault Company, Qin Feng saw the simulator of air refueling of super flag fighters, and at the same time, in the Falklands War, Argentina's air force fought only after refueling in the air, even such countries are already commonplace, but in China, it is a zero.

Now, there can be no longer delay, and it's time to engage in this technology.

Compared with other technologies, the biggest advantage of this kind of air refueling is that it does not need to rely on advanced electronic technology, and it should be able to be carried out in China without being constrained in the electronic system.
