Chapter 485: What's the Good News? (The first head of the family adds more)
PS: It's been updated, and it's slowly recovering, so I wish you all a good dream.
……
The comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Su-30MKI is advertised in the mouth of the Indian Air Force as second only to the Su-35 fighter in official service.
Zhou Hai looked at the simulated enemy aircraft data displayed on the central multi-function screen, touched his chin with his left hand, without fear, but there was a little itch in his heart, and thought:
"I don't know if it's the old version of the tattered Su-30MKI, or the Super Su-30MKI with 117S and active phased array radar, but it's a pity that I didn't see the Rafale, well, and the legendary fighter LCA brilliance."
As a typical universal cargo air force, the Indian Air Force is equipped with a large number of fighters and models, which is simply desperate for ground support forces.
The Super Su-30MKI multi-role heavy fighter is derived from the upgrade of the basic version, abandoning the inferior vector nozzle that has been completely fooled, and replacing it with the 117S high-thrust binary vector engine that is standard with the Su-35, the Russian-made 'Beetle' active phased array radar and a new cockpit, as well as an improved central computer and electronic countermeasures equipment.
The Su-30MKI, which is dubbed the title of 'super', has greatly improved its overall performance and mobility from the basic version, reaching the combat level of three and a half generations.
Of course, instead of paying attention to the Super Su-30MKI, which is not even comparable to the Su-35, Zhou Hai is more curious about the French Rafale fighter that also adopts the aerodynamic layout of canard wings, well, it also includes the development of a legendary fighter that has finally been officially put into service for more than 30 years - LCA Guanghui.
It's a pity that no matter how curious you are, no matter which Su-30MKI the other party is.
This time it was a circumferential mission, not a combat mission.
Otherwise, Zhou Hai really wanted to drive the J-10D 'Fire Dragon' to fight with these two Indian fighters, and by the way, he abused each other.
"Squeak......
With his left hand, he opened the flight kit, took out the carefully packaged chocolate, opened the wrapper, put it in his mouth, and chewed it to taste the wonderful taste of chocolate.
Enjoy a snack in a fighter jet and watch the magnificent scenery of the country's frontier by the way.
Unfortunately, the chocolate is not Dove, and it doesn't use the legendary love flavor.
A few minutes later, the voice of the female operator in the command center came in again, slightly strange: "Call 012, uh...... There's good news for you. ”
"What's the good news?" Swallowing the slightly bitter and refreshing chocolate into his stomach, Zhou Hai said curiously.
"Reconnaissance satellites have just shown that one of the two Su-30MKIs rushing to the border crashed shortly after takeoff." In less than a second, the female operator's strange voice was heard.
Crash?
Obediently, the Su-30MKI worth tens of millions of dollars is kissing the earth?
The whole person was a little confused, this sudden situation was simply unexpected.
"These two Su-30MKI can't be old goods that have just been overhauled from Hindustan Aeronautics, right?"
Swallowing his throat and taking a bite of pure and fragrant chocolate to suppress his shock, Zhou Hai said his inner thoughts, and his mind couldn't help but think of this legendary large aviation equipment manufacturer in the world's aviation field.
Hindustan Aeronautics, abbreviated as HAL, is the only manufacturer of aviation equipment, a true legend, a terrifying existence that has made countless Indian pilots miserable, and is known in military circles as 'Widow Making Machine'
The fame is so great that anyone who is involved in the aviation industry knows it.
How legendary is this company?
Possess the world's top maintenance skills!
Overhauled eight MiG-21s, and eventually eight crashed,
One improved MiG-21 was assembled, one was overhauled, and finally one crashed.
Three Puma fighters were assembled, five were overhauled, and eventually six crashed.
Overhauled the Mirage-2000 four, none of them alive, all crashed.
Three MiG-29 "Fulcrum" fighters were overhauled, but none of them were still alive, and all of them crashed.
As for the self-assembled Su-30MKI, its record for the number of crashes is far ahead of the world, ranking first, and no one can catch up.
Previously, the U.S. Air Force suffered from 'intermittent machine plague', and the Indian Air Force was shrouded in 'machine plague' for a long time, and the main culprit was the miserable Hindustan Aeronautics.
Now it's good that another Su-30MKI crashed, and it still flew towards Zhou Hai.
"Uh...... Not sure, lack of credible intelligence, zero, continue to fly, please report the amount of fuel remaining on board. The female operator took a deep breath, stopped thinking about the distractions in her mind, and said seriously.
The Air Force next door has set a glorious record of thousands of fighter planes crashing for half a century, and now it seems that it is nothing to crash one.
As for whether it is an old cargo that has just come out of the Hindustan Aeronautics maintenance plant, God knows.
If you fall, you fall, anyway, it's not our plane that falls.
There is no schadenfreude, no pity and no sympathy.
When Zhou Hai heard this, he shook his head, continued to eat a bite of chocolate to suppress the shock, felt the faint bitterness and sweetness, and a hint of faint aroma, and reported: "The remaining fuel on board is 23%, and it has flown 2,700 kilometers. ”
"Zero, according to the mission plan, when the remaining fuel on board is 20%, you need to change to the right and go to the scheduled air refueling point to refuel." The female operator said, "How is your physical condition?" Is there anything out of the ordinary? ”
"Zero receipt, excellent physical condition, nothing abnormal, everything is fine."
In response to his own situation, Zhou Hai didn't bother to care about another Su-30MKI flying at high speed, so he ignored it directly, and after a few minutes of continuing to fly, the remaining fuel reached the mission standard, and then he immediately stepped on the rudder and controlled the J-10D 'Fire Dragon' under him to fly to the predetermined supply point.
Ignoring the Indian fighters flying at high speed, this is by no means inflated and proud, but the strength of the opponent is so weak that Zhou Hai can't raise the slightest interest.
And, what about care?
Who would dare to fly over the airspace line?
As for the remaining old and frail Indian Su-30MKI, let it fend for itself, and by the way, I hope that this poor old plane will not crash.
Although, it seems that the crashed Su-30MKI has a little connection with itself, it doesn't matter.
Turning to the right, the altitude remained the same, and the J-10D went straight to the Il-78 tanker, which was already waiting 100 kilometers away, at a standard cruising speed of Mach 0.8.
Brilliant blue sky, peaceful and quiet.
"No. 286, No. 286, the opponent's plane has returned, and your plane will return immediately." A clear and loud radio call resounded through the communication channel, spreading throughout the cockpit of the Su-30MKI fighter plane, which was in a state of grief during the high-speed flight.
"What? The other party ran away?! The main pilot, who was holding the metal fly-by-wire joystick in his right hand, was filled with anger and grief in his heart, and when he heard the order from the base, he roared loudly: "How can this damn fighter run, Summit is just because it crashed, doesn't it want to provoke?" How can you run?! Without a shred of chivalry, like a vile and shameless coward, and the damned Hindustan corporation, are these guys fixing planes with their ass? ”
