At the end of the year, Colonel Jia Baoguo and Colonel Lin Jue joined the Air Force Test Department.

Although they did not participate in the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War and did not achieve any results, they were not only colonels and officers, but also had high prestige among the pilots of the Air Force Test Unit, because before joining the test unit, they were not pilots of combat units, but pilots of test flight units

After the arrival of the two, the life of the HNA pilots who "dominated the king" in the experimental unit began to be sad

As the top flight crew of HNA, Liang Guoxiang and Zhu Ronghui shouldered heavy responsibilities and conducted confrontation drills with Jia Baoguo and Lin Jue many times

The purpose of Jia Baoguo and Lin Jue, who were 40 years old, when they joined the test unit, was not to win back face for the Air Force

Their mission is to participate in the finalized flight test of the J-14 fighter, complete the flight envelope test, and provide flight data for the tactical performance test before the mass production service

Test flights of new fighters are both a glorious and a dangerous mission

In the United States, one out of every three test pilots died in a crash is similar in the Republican Air Force, and more than 30 percent of test pilots die in the line of duty during their service

To be able to become a test pilot, you must not only have superb skills, but also have a cool head and extraordinary courage

If there were no test pilots risking their lives to find out the flight performance of various fighters and draw flight envelopes, not only would more pilots encounter dangerous situations in the air, but the combat effectiveness of the air force would also be greatly affected

Whether in the Air Force or in the HNA Airlines, test pilots are highly respected

In addition to Jia Baoguo and Lin Jue's identity as test pilots, they also served as "blue pilots" in five "imaginary enemy units" of the Air Force, and most of the pilots in the Air Force test units have dealt with them and know their capabilities

At the end of the J-14 finalized test flight, the engineers modified the problems found by the test pilots and prepared for mass production, and only then did Jia Baoguo and Lin Jue use the J-14 aircraft to conduct tactical performance tests as pilots of the Air Force test unit

In the 11 confrontations before and after, Liang Guoxiang and Zhu Ronghui only won 3 times, and they were still losers after 3 equals

As veteran pilots, Jia Baoguo and Lin Jue did not look at the pilots of the HNA with a hostile eye when they wrote the report on the confrontation exercise, and according to their words, if it were not for the J-13B's ground performance being much worse than the J-14 prototype aircraft, Liang Guoxiang and Zhu Ronghui would not only not lose, but would also win by a large score

The report mainly mentions the performance characteristics of J-14 and the places that need to be improved

As a fourth-generation heavy air supremacy fighter developed by the Republic of China, the J-14 was in the design stage, and when the Air Force put forward five major performance requirements, in order of priority: stealth performance, electronic and information network warfare capability, supersonic cruise capability, supermaneuverability, and logistics support performance

It may seem that the performance indicators of the J-14 are very similar to the F-22A, but in fact they are very different

Before the stealth coating technology did not make a substantial breakthrough, J-14 paid more attention to the "active stealth capability" designers used the first "Flying Eagle" all-electric helicopter gunship active electromagnetic interference device, in order to make the active stealth time reach the 15 minutes required for penetration, J-14 prepared 150 grams of "Longxiang battery" In order not to make the active jamming device affect the airborne radar, tactical data link and other electromagnetic equipment, the designer installed a time agile switch controlled by the airborne fire control computer on the active electromagnetic interference device

After testing the prototype machine, it was proved that the stealth ability of the J-14 when using active jamming devices exceeded 22|=|, which needs to be improved

The capability of the electronic and information network station is mainly embodied in the tactical information network formed by the tactical data link on the tactical data chain, and all combat forces equipped with relevant equipment can obtain the tactical information mastered by other combat forces in a timely manner, so as to achieve the purpose of sharing battlefield information among the combat forces, and give more effective play to the combat effectiveness of the combat forces of the various combat forces With the tactical information network as a platform, the independent combat forces in the past have evolved into a tactical strike platform on the tactical information network, in accordance with the principle of "whoever fights closely, who is convenient for whoever fights" The principle of making full use of various striking forces

The supersonic cruise capability is mainly achieved through two ways: one is the military thrust of 127 kN, the maximum thrust of 165 N, the thrust-to-weight ratio of 95 "Taihang 14" engine; The second is to account for 526% of the mass of the whole machine composite materials and 28 light alloys and Russia jointly developed the "Taihang 14" turbofan engine (Russian code name Al-51) in one fell swoop to solve the problem of the Republic fighter without an autonomous "heart", 95 thrust-to-weight ratio, 1500 hours of service life, 341 + and F-229 engine is basically the same as a large number of composite materials and light alloy, so that the J-14 empty weight is only 17850 grams, although than F-22: With a thrust of the J-145,500 meters and without an afterburner, the cruising flight speed reached 135 Hz

In the method of achieving super-maneuverability, in addition to the high-thrust engine, a large number of composite materials and light alloys, mainly with the help of excellent aerodynamic shape and ternary vector nozzle Because of the use of active electromagnetic interference device, designers do not need to consider the stealth requirements too much when designing the aerodynamic shape, so they can pay more attention to the maneuverability requirements F-22U|has a binary vector nozzle and larger

In the case of weight ratio, maneuverability is only slightly improved compared to third-generation fighters)|) The meter must focus on stealth performance, which has a lot to do with the combination of a ternary vector nozzle (F-22 + energy) with better performance, the maneuverability of the J-14 has been greatly improved compared with the third-generation fighter, and when fighting with the J-13B, which belongs to the "three and a half generations", the J-14 aircraft that has not fully reached the design indicators can occupy an absolute advantage

In order to improve the performance of logistics support, the J-14 adopts many methods, such as the use of standard interfaces, to provide a basis for future upgrades of airborne equipment; One-time thermoplastic wing skin to reduce battlefield maintenance workload; The main equipment compartments that need to be maintained on the battlefield are facing downwards to reduce the work intensity of ground crews; Segmented manufacturing processes make it easier to overhaul and repair battle damage; Use standard weapon interfaces, make it easier to reload weapons, and more

After ten years of sharpening the sword, the Republic spent fifteen years to build the best fighter in the world

From the establishment of the project to the completion of the finalized test flight, tens of thousands of designers and engineers participated in the design, research and development of the J-14 and related equipment, and the development funds alone, the Republic Air Force invested 450 before and after, although compared to the F-22 >This research and development fund is only a fraction, but for the Republic Air Force, which is not well-off, it is willing to invest in the development of funds equivalent to 2 allowances for all officers and soldiers, which shows the Air Force's expectations for the J-14

As the first pilots to fly the J-14, Jia Baoguo and Lin Jue have great trust in the advanced performance of the J-14

After receiving the order, the two men flew the Type 214 plane to take off from the air base in the Qaidam Basin, and together with a large transport plane carrying logistical support equipment and ground crews of the test unit, they went to the air base more than 50 kilometers south of Shangrao, Jiangxi Province

In just a few hours, the J-14 prototype, which was still in the stage of tactical testing, completed its preparations for battle

After leaving the airport, the 214-type aircraft immediately lowered its flight altitude to 150, Jia Baoguo and Lin Jue did not use the autopilot, but drove manually according to the information provided by the geomorphological mapping radar, whether it was to complete the combat mission or complete the tactical test work, the 214-type aircraft could not make any mistakes

At 20:35, the 214 entered the sky over the ocean

After receiving the battlefield information sent by the early warning plane, Jia Baoguo, who was piloting the long plane, lowered the flight altitude to 50 meters, increased the speed to Mach 11, and the distance between the Type 214 and the target was shortened by 224 meters every minute

At 20:55, the AWACS aircraft sent the latest battlefield information

"2. Charging active EMI devices"

"Understood, turn on the active electromagnetic interference device"

Pressing the charging switch of the active electromagnetic interference device, Jia Baoguo glanced at the data on the flat panel display on three sides16

"Active EMI device has been charged, 2 waiting for instructions"

"Start the active electromagnetic interference device" Jia Baoguo first pressed the start switch, and then adjusted the communication frequency to "check the onboard electronic equipment and missiles"

"Active electromagnetic interference devices are activated, the on-board electronics are normal, the missiles are normal"

At this time, it was 20:57

"Altitude 5500, speed 1450, course 75

"Understood, altitude 5500, speed c, course 75

As the fighter plane climbed higher, Jia Baoguo's mood also fluctuated a little

On the left screen displaying the flight information, after the azimuth coordinates of the fighter plane coincided with the coordinates of the attack entry point provided by the early warning plane, Jia Baoguo turned on the radar power supply and said: "Start the fire control radar, and check the airborne missiles again in the air search and tracking mode."

"Radar activated, missiles normal"

In less than 5 minutes, 2 large air targets with distinct characteristics appeared on the fire control screen in the center

"2 reports, fire control radar interception of air targets, 2 E-767 AWACS aircraft, 24 combat aircraft"

"The goal is clear" Governor Jia Bao took a breath and glanced at the weapon status information displayed on the right screen, "Act according to the plan, I will attack the No. 1 target"

"Understood, 2 turns and disengages, attacks target 2"

The 2J-14 quickly dispersed and killed two E-767 early warning aircraft

Before using the radar to lock on to the target, Jia Baoguo checked the radar warning plane and the missile warning plane, and confirmed that the two warning devices were in working condition, and then breathed a sigh of relief

It turns out that active electromagnetic interference devices are capable of dealing with the radar of AWACS!

At 2105 points, the J-14 aircraft piloted by Jia Baoguo fired four "Thunderbolt-14 interceptor missiles" from the E-767, which was located 70 meters away to the west of the battlefield

At 2106 points, the J-14 aircraft piloted by Lin Jue fired 55 missiles at another E-767 at a distance of 4 meters

At 2107 points, the 214-shaped machine successively completed the guidance work and turned to return home

At 2108 points, 2E-767 was hit by missiles and fell into the sea in the explosion and disintegration

Two minutes later, the first batch of J-11B fighters of the Republic Air Force arrived in the airspace of engagement, and under the guidance of AWACS aircraft, they locked on to the bewildered F-15J group with fire control radars

The night sky, boiling!

Damn it*
