Long Yun was not surprised by the "military aid" thing.

In this year, the world's major powers have entered the era of assault aircraft, and the Air Force has basically eliminated the outdated third-generation fighters, and formed a high-low match with the fourth-generation stealth fighters.

However, whether it is an epoch-making assault aircraft or a fourth-generation stealth fighter, these two types of weapons and equipment are far from being affordable by ordinary countries in terms of technical strength requirements and the cost of research and development equipment, and in addition, they are subject to a series of treaty restrictions on weapons proliferation, which also leads to the fact that the equipment of most countries' air forces is still dominated by third-generation fighters, with a maximum of a certain number of fourth-generation fighters to support the façade.

Under such circumstances, in the face of a series of military confrontations and conflicts in sensitive areas, the original outdated third-generation fighters, or even some older models, can still exert their residual heat and even become the main force on the battlefield; For example, this is the case in the Middle East, where he is about to go, and the old models that are cheap and easy to buy and use are still fighting in the sky.

Since the technological level of regional conflicts is such a thing, it is not a bad idea to use warplanes that no longer have tactical value for military aid and indirectly affect the strategic situation of certain regions.

After all, today, with the rapid development of aviation competition and the massive proliferation of high-performance fighter jets among the civilian population, arms suppliers of various countries no longer have any interest in exporting weapons to conflict zones and subjecting them to a series of investigations and punishments -- since the fighter market capacity is so vast that it is not worried about finding a buyer, why should they risk being sanctioned for the sake of that little profit?

In this environment. Countries that do not have access to weapons through open channels will naturally resort to black market smuggling. However, international control of this area is also very strict. The main thing is to worry about terrorists getting weapons and equipment from it.

Since it is impossible to buy it openly, and the smuggling channels are relatively narrow, it stands to reason that the world will become a lot cleaner, and even if small countries are filthy with each other and have no weapons, they can only fight a dozen war of words; Contrary to the naïve appearance, however, the international trade in fighter jets is frequent, with fighter planes of various models and unknown origins changing hands on the books of governments, competitive aviation entities and other organizations, and finally being able to put on their uniforms and take to the skies with missiles in conflict zones to do their job.

This situation seems a bit bizarre. In fact, it is just another embodiment of the international form of shì game.

Letting weapons flow to the side they want to support, rather than falling into the hands of the other side or simply terrorists, and at the same time ostensibly acting as if they support the arms embargo, is also a very profound knowledge in itself, and of course Long Yun is a complete layman in this regard.

With this in mind, Long Yun followed the captain to the hangar on the runway side of the base, which was different from the reinforced hangars at the front-line airfield, most of the buildings in the base were simple and lightweight frame structures; Walking through the side door into the interior of the hangar, which has a constant temperature and humidity and is obviously not idle for a long time, I saw several Su-27 fighters parked side by side and painted with blue, gray and white digital camouflage. He chatted with the captain officer who was accompanying him, and then climbed the boarding ladder to take a look inside the cockpit of the fighter plane.

Really. Unlike the old SK, these fighters have undergone mid-term modifications.

Standing at the top of the steep boarding staircase, Long Yun looked inward at the edge of the cockpit, and the instrument panel that was standard on the original Su-27SK was gone, and what appeared in front of him was the typical "one flat and three down" configuration; Noticing that the control panels on both sides of the pilot's seat were also different from the initial state, he probably remembered that the Su-27SK in front of him should be the "mid-term improved version" that circulated on the Internet many years ago, not only improving the control interface and fire control system, but also undergoing some life extension treatment.

The improved Su-27SK has the ability to use Russian-made R-77, domestic PL-12 and other active radar-guided missiles, although limited by the scanning rate of the N001 radar, multi-target engagement capabilities are still poor, but the comprehensive combat capability has been greatly improved.

So in the next few days, you will have to complete the adaptation training of the Su-27 with this model?

With an intuition when dealing with fighters, feeling that the situation of these old fighters in the hangar was not bad, Long Yun was relieved, and he asked the captain officer in charge of his training mission:

"So, comrade, I can start test flight training today, right?"

According to Long Yun's thoughts, since this kind of adaptive training was completely superfluous, he naturally hoped to complete the formalities as much as possible, and it was best to start flight training immediately.

However, hearing his words, the officer was obviously quite surprised and waved his hand:

"Of course not,—— I've seen your flying qualifications, and I've only flown the 'Seventh Master' and 'Stick Ten' before, isn't it?" The seventh master's 'well, let's not talk about it, the flight experience on it is useless at all, even if you change from the 'stick ten' to fly 'two seven', you have to go through theoretical learning and complete the simulator test before you can fly solo. Even if you are in a hurry, it will take a week to let you fly the real guy; Although our old SK here is not worth much, it is also an asset of tens of millions, but it can't be a little careless, do you understand? ”

"One, one week, ......?"

Hearing such a schedule, Long Yun felt that it was too slow, even if he had the patience to do useless work here, could he accept such a slow progress?

With a little use of his consciousness to snoop, he knew that the secret agency and training base where he was located were not directly related, probably because there were some problems in communication and coordination, so he would learn step by step, but now the shape of the Middle East is not waiting for anyone, how can he have time to "study" here?

Thinking of this, he and the captain asked if they could simplify the process, but the officer refused:

"How's that going to work? - Comrade, your mission information is confidential, and I don't know which unit you were in, but you have no previous flight experience of 'Erqi', so it is certain to follow the process.

Oh, even if you have flown the 'stick ten', but except for the cockpit layout and fire control, the difference between these two fighters is quite large, and the previous flight experience is not countable. Now it's at most, you, go to the base dormitory area to settle down, and then take a look at the flight manual and training syllabus, and you will have to go to the simulator to start practicing tomorrow at the earliest, which is already the most overtime arrangement!
