Lei Chan is the pinnacle of the fifth-generation air supremacy fighter Lu Zuo. 【Full text reading】So, the controversy of "little no one". The United States, Russia, and Europe have all had the same problems when developing fifth-generation multirole fighters. "Someone. Fighters are more reliable, and "unmanned" fighters are more economical. The solutions of various countries are also different, and after initial research, Russia's Sun has unswervingly embarked on the road of "manned"; Europe's advanced light multi-role fighters insist on advancing on the "unmanned" road; The Republic of Koguchi and the United States chose the universal solution, that is, to leave room for the pilot at the time of design.

It wasn't until Fenghang Group took over the research and development work that Koguchi's exhibition was finalized.

Although unmanned fighters have become more economical by reducing the number of pilots, not only can the procurement cost be reduced, but the maintenance cost of long-term equipment can also be reduced, but the reliability of unmanned fighters is far inferior to that of manned fighters. The effectiveness when performing complex tasks is also much inferior to that of manned fighters.

When the old research and development work was in trouble, Cheng Fei put a lot of effort into the "manned plan".

The reason is simple, if Xiao Jiu is characterized as a medium multirole fighter, the survival of the mouth will be tested, and in order to win orders from the Air Force and Navy, it must have excellent performance enough to impress the army. At this time, Cheng Fei considered an indirect question, that is, whether Xiao Lao, as a medium multirole fighter, could have the air supremacy required by the Air Force and Navy. In other words, if Xiao Jiu is unable to meet the requirements of the Air Force and the Navy for air supremacy, the light fighters supporting it will have to have limited air supremacy combat capability, and cannot one-sidedly emphasize multi-purpose performance. Xiaokou had no choice but to abandon the "unmanned scheme" and adopt the "manned scheme".

Cheng Fei's pre-judgment had a great impact on the later development work.

After AVIC Group became the owner of the Xiaokou project, the first thing it did was not to speed up the development progress, but to conduct market research. In order to find out the needs of customers, AVIC not only sent personnel to the front-line combat units of the Air Force and Navy to try to obtain the actual combat application of fighter jets, but also sent several business delegations to friendly countries that are very likely to purchase Xiaokou fighters to inquire about the performance needs of these countries for multi-role fighters.

The business vision of private enterprises is vividly manifested at this time.

Through research, AVIC Group decided to focus on "manned solutions" and "unmanned solutions." Supplement. Began to speed up the research system of Koguchi. Select "Manned Scenario." The reasons are not complicated: First, the electromagnetic environment of the future battlefield is extremely harsh. The survivability of unmanned fighters is questionable; Second, the front-line combat units of the Air Force and Navy are more inclined to manned fighters and are less interested in unmanned fighters; Third, countries that want to purchase advanced fighters from the republic want to get manned fighters, not unmanned fighters. Retain the "unmanned scheme." The reason is simple: with the advancement of technology, the potential of unmanned combat aircraft is even greater, even if it is not possible to achieve it in a small mouth. It is also possible to complete the technical reserve through relevant research and development to lay the foundation for the development of the next generation of unmanned fighters.

With a clear purpose, the development work is progressing very smoothly.

Because AVIC Group and Zhongzhong Group have signed a technology exchange cooperation agreement, Xiaokou has adopted a large number of old mature technologies. For example, the "closed electronically controlled, hydraulic, mechanical, and mechanical control system, active defense system, conformal fire control, radar antenna, and three-dimensional thrust control system" used in the small old one. Wait. At this time, Koguchi's design also underwent major changes, such as improving the wing-body fusion, reducing the vertical tail area, and redesigning the fuselage bomb bay. Generally speaking, as a light multi-role fighter, Xiaokou is much less difficult to develop than Xiaozhan, and the development progress is much faster.

At the beginning of the year, Xiaokou flew. After the test flight of the old month, its performance has reached or exceeded the design index.

Although Xiaokou is also facing the problem of small and old, that is, the design funds are seriously bid for the call of B yuan, but in fact, it is the second yuan on the lead side, and the standard mountain, even the unit price is seriously estimated to be 100 million yuan. In fact, it is 100 million yuan and paste. However, after deducting the inflation during the development period, the purchase price of Xiaokou was still within the acceptable range of the Air Force and the Navy, and the four projects were officially procured in the concave year, and the currency depreciation was almost paste. The most important thing is that the Air Force and the Navy are very eager to replace the small with the small, and the price is not a big problem.

At the beginning of the year, said, Xiao Xu.

Because the performance of Xiaokou far exceeds that of Xiaozhan, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Thailand, Malaysia, Argentina and other countries have put forward purchase intentions. At the end of the year, Pakistan and Argentina offered to the Republic to replace Xiaozhan with Xiaokou, which was planned to be delivered in the year of Limi, with Xiaokou, and were willing to pay liquidated damages for this.

In fact, Koguchi was indeed the most advanced light multi-role fighter of its time.

Although the 43 of the United States also achieved a flight in the trade year. And mass production began in the middle of the concave year, but the United States did not have an urgent war plan, so it did not purchase 4 gas on a large scale

The performance comparison between one bite and mom has always been a hot topic among military fans. In terms of design, Feng is more avant-garde, according to the U.S. Air Force procurement plan, only the thug Nai's mother is a manned model. In addition, the Feng of the mountain is an unmanned model; By piloting the unmanned model to fight, the US Air Force came up with the "Air Wolf River Ye Bing." That is, when attacking high-risk ground targets. Unmanned two: It does not undertake the main attack mission, but when attacking ordinary ground targets, the manned model undertakes the main attack mission, so as to maximize the combat potential of the two models. Avant-garde does not mean advanced, after all, countries around the world are not very sure whether unmanned fighters can fully replace manned fighters. What's more, the US Air Force is in no hurry to replace the pharmaceutical series fighters with Feng, is it necessary for other countries to rush to purchase stones before the United States? Small mouths are very different. Immediately after the qualitative decision, the Air Force and Navy of the Republic placed a huge order. This is not only the possibility of the Air Force and the Navy on the performance of the small door, but also plays a great role in foreign sales.

After all, AVIC is a private enterprise. To make money. You have to target the export market.

Although the Republic has relaxed the export restrictions on heavy air supremacy fighters, it is impossible for Xiao Jiu to be pushed to the foreign trade market in a short period of time, and not many countries can afford to buy a heavy fighter of several hundred million yuan, and the main force in the international fighter market is still light multi-role fighters. According to the assessment made by AVIC Group at the end of the year, in the future, the total demand in the international arms trade market will be as high as the joint frame, excluding the Republic and the United States. Whoever is able to get so many orders will dominate the future war.

AVIC Group has long aimed at the international market, and at the end of the year, it came up with a temporary code name for export-oriented small rises.

Since the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Defense officially put the advanced performance of the small thug mouth. At the Singapore Air Show at the end of the year, Koguchi and Feng competed on the same stage, showing excellent air combat performance. In order to enhance the visual impact, AVIC Group also brought dozens of aviation ammunition for Xiaokou, which filled an exhibition hall. In the profile you put out to potential customers. AVIC claims that Xiaokou's ground attack capability is twice that of Xiaozhan. The air combat capability is 4 times that of Xiaozhan; According to the specific needs of customers, more advanced avionics equipment can be used to enhance the combat performance of the small 7. For example, it has been replaced with a more powerful fire control radar, Koguchi has become a "veritable" air supremacy fighter, photoelectric tracking and indication equipment has been added, the ground strike capability of the book has been enhanced, a more accurate navigation system has been adopted, and Koguchi's long-range strike capability has been strengthened. If the customer needs, it can also be expanded into an unmanned fighter.

The fly in the ointment is that the foreign trade type can not be delivered until the beginning of the year at the earliest.

Even so. He said that if the small four aircraft occupy half of the international light multirole fighter market before the good year, the total foreign trade income will definitely exceed the second dollar.

Said Loma Jr. a wave of sound military aviation group. Can't sit still.

At the beginning of the 3rd year, Feng participated in the Paris Air Show and came up with the latest research and development results, but still lost to Xiaokou in the foreign trade market.

The key is not that Feng is not advanced enough, the price is not cheap enough, and the unit price of Xiaokou's foreign trade is about one dollar, while Feng's foreign trade unit price is more than one dollar, which is about one more cheaper than Xiaokou, but that the US Air Force does not purchase in large quantities, and overseas customers do not have enough confidence in the performance of Yu.

In any case, Xiaokou made a beautiful comeback for the "Chinese Armament Arms".

You must know that Xiaozhan's foreign trade sales are less than the old ones, while the United States has exported more than four Yiwu series fighters to many countries. If Koguchi can occupy more than half of the international light multirole fighter market, it will bring more than just economic benefits.

As Wu gradually reached the end of its service life and began to retire one after another, dozens of countries needed to purchase new light fighters. If Xiaokou can defeat Feng, it will not only mean that dozens of countries will purchase Xiaokou, but also mean that these countries that have previously equipped Wu will improve relations with the Republic. At least not completely to the United States. The most representative of these is Israel. Although the United States promised military assistance to Israel. It was sold to the U.S. Air Force at the purchase price, but the Israeli delegation still showed great interest in Koguchi at the Singapore Air Show and the Paris Air Show, and even asked about Koguchi's performance. That is, if Israel decides to buy fighters from the republic, there will inevitably be a major shift in its foreign policy.

It is not the testing ground that tests weapons and equipment, but the battlefield.

"Made in the Republic" can be popular in the international market, challenging "Made in America." The hegemony of the Republic is not because the weapons and equipment of the Republic are cheaper and the technical performance indicators are higher, but because the weapons and equipment that the Republic has sold on the international arms market have experienced war and have performed prominently on the battlefield. Xiaozhan is able to open up overseas markets. Whether the creation of thugs is as powerful as AVIC Group "boasts" depends on its performance in the war.

The war in India was a test for Xiaokou.

Although, according to the combat system of the Republic Air Force, in the case that the small 6 is enough to dominate the skies of the South Asian subcontinent, "the state does not have to carry out air supremacy missions." But in the next bombing. Substitute for the small mouth seven child method.

Actually, before that. Xiao Kou has already revealed his hand.

In the battle against the Indian fleet. The little thug Asahi is a well-deserved main force. Its huge bomb load and flexible tactical performance provided a strong guarantee for the annihilation of the Indian fleet. It's just that war at sea is far less direct than war over land, and what many countries need is not specifically developed for the navy, saying that Madara easily broke through the air defense network of the Indian Air Force and bombed heavily protected military targets.

In fact, the bombing was not on a large scale.

8 o'clock. The fighters of the squadron are divided into a group of kings. It entered Indian airspace from the Pamirs and Pakistan. Concentrate forces on bombing military-strategic targets in the northwestern region of India. A few minutes later, the three squadrons of the knife carriage Xiaokou were divided into eight aircraft groups and entered India's airspace from the sky over Shannan City, focusing on attacking military strategic targets in the eastern part of India.

At this time. Strategic bombing is the official beginning.

Exactly the same as previous bombings, say, small swarms. According to the sequence of attacking 3 targets, you can actually attack 4 targets. Because most of the targets were tightly protected, and the Air Force did not have much long-range ammunition left, Xiao Chi used out-of-zone ammunition with a range of about 1,000 kilometers.

The bombing was not large, but it was very violent.

India's territorial air defense system, built with US assistance, is simply not able to deal with Xiaokou. There is nothing surprising in this as India's air defense system is aimed at fourth-generation fighters such as Xiao Jiu and Xiao Chi, while Xiao Kou is a fifth-generation fighter. The small thug who was less than a square meter of wounded tires had already dropped ammunition.

It was the relevant intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency that allowed the Air Force to set the range of the stand-off munitions to kilometres.

Although the Indian Air Force's long-range air defense system has an interception distance of more than a kilometer, even against light fighters such as Koguchi. The effective firing range is also about 1,000 kilometers, but in the case that the target cannot be effectively realized, the range of the long-range anti-aircraft missile is of no practical significance.

Unlike the conflict in southern Tibet, the Indian Air Force has finally made some progress, that is, it has the ability to intercept munitions.

In order to enhance the survivability of strategic targets, the Indian Air Force has procured dozens of short-range interception systems from the United States after the year of the milk fighter to deal with air-to-surface munitions.

It's just that there is a limit to the capabilities of any interception system, and in order to achieve the purpose of destroying targets, the fleet of aircraft carrying out attack missions is based on 3 fighters as a single unit. Drop at least one standoff bomb at a time. The glove short-range interception system is capable of intercepting up to 4 targets, while the short-range interception system used to protect the strategic command center does not go over the knee, and even fewer short-range interception systems to protect other strategic targets. And so it goes. As soon as the ammunition arrives at the same time, the short-range interception system procured by the Indian Air Force will become an ornament.

In addition to short-range interception systems. The Indian Air Force has also set up forced electromagnetic interference devices near important targets.

The problem is that the forced electromagnetic interference devices will not do much to the new stand-off munitions that the Air Force of the Republic will open after the return year. It is said that the small ballistic correction guidance system is controlled by the inertial navigation system after the launch, and when it reaches a distance of about 1 kilometer from the target, the carrier aircraft or other guidance aircraft will provide the ballistic correction data, and the final stage is still guided by a fully enclosed inertial navigation system. In this way, a forced electromagnetic interference device with a range of 1 kilometer cannot pose a threat to it. Although this guidance method can only be used to deal with fixed targets on the ground for the time being, it is still an effective guidance method in the extremely harsh electromagnetic environment.

War is cruel, and the weak never have a chance to turn over.

At 8 o'clock, the first round of bombing operations ended, and the attack groups returned bombing reports. A few minutes later, a high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance plane following the attack plane group into India's airspace returned information from the battlefield and confirmed that the bombing had achieved a satisfactory result and that all the key targets had been destroyed or completely paralyzed.

What makes Pei Chengyi feel very gratified. Except for the three small thugs on the western battlefield, they all returned smoothly.

After the end of the round bombardment, the attack was split in two directions.

The main task of the Air Force is still to destroy India's military command and communications, air defense systems, and other strategic targets, while the task of dealing with tactical and campaign targets is entrusted to other combat forces, including the Army Air Force.

Make full and effective use of combat forces. It is an important means of increasing the military strike force.

Before the group of small thugs Xu left the airspace of Beidu, the attack plane group of the Army Airlines squatted one after another.

If it is said that Tingjiu and Koguchi are the "new stars" of the Air Force. "Then it's the new force of the Army Airlines.
