Chapter 1357: 1358 new generation fighter
Chapter 1357 1358 New Generation Fighter
But now, this giant fighter jet that looks similar to a bomber actually has a combat radius of about 1,200 kilometers! This is already quite terrifying!
Such a huge combat radius allows fighter jets to fly in the sky for a long time, ensuring one's own air superiority and covering a larger area with fewer aircraft!
For any pilot, such a voyage means more opportunities to participate in battles, more results, and... great military achievements!
"The range is just one of the data. What's really scary is its avionics equipment!" the technical engineer continued: "The brand-new aircraft uses more revolutionary technologies, including helmet sights and more advanced radar guidance. Air-to-air missiles.”
The nose of this aircraft is a cone-shaped radome, which is installed with a new radar equipment whose performance far exceeds that of the radar installed on the J-7.
Because the diameter of the radar antenna is larger, it is natural that the performance will surpass its predecessors. Coupled with the blessing of the electronic equipment technology of the Datang Empire, the new aircraft radar detection range exceeds 150 kilometers! Able to lock on target at a distance of 100 kilometers.
This detection distance has exceeded the maximum visual range of the human eye. In other words, this brand-new fighter jet brought a new concept to the Tang Empire's air force...
After introducing the terrifying detection range of the new aircraft radar, the technician proudly said: "It can carry out beyond-visual-range attacks! This is a brand-new concept! Fighters do not have to appear in the enemy's line of sight, and can directly attack distant enemies. Launch an attack..."
Coupled with the new pointed air-to-air missiles displayed next to the aircraft, the new fighter jets can launch surprise attacks before the enemy enters the airspace actually controlled by the Tang Army.
"Its weapon system includes the latest infrared guided missiles, which can lock the target more accurately and distinguish the signal characteristics of the target. Once the opponent is locked, it will be difficult to get rid of it." The technician pointed at the new missile and announced proudly : "The new Thunderbolt missile uses semi-active radar guidance, which can detect more than 10 targets at the same time through advanced computers and lock on two of them at the same time. At a distance of 50 to 70 kilometers, you can launch radar-guided air-to-air missiles Missile, shoot down your opponent!"
The pilots who were standing neatly with their hands behind their backs could no longer help but start whispering to each other. They have never heard of such a terrifying thing: they can actually kill their opponents dozens of kilometers away!
ˆ New fighter jets equipped with high-power radars are no longer comparable to aircraft like the J-7. It is no longer a simple "fighter", but a "combat platform" with certain battlefield awareness capabilities.
Its detection method allows the pilot flying it to simply control the enemy and friend situations on the entire battlefield, and choose the best solution to enter the battlefield and kill those poor enemies who are like blind men.
Wang Hai felt that he finally understood why the new fighter had such a huge opportunity: it did not require any maneuverability at all, and the fighting he was good at seemed to be of no use in the face of huge radars and new missiles.
But before he could continue to be pessimistic, the technicians had already come up with a flight performance envelope and introduced the maneuverability of the new aircraft: "Moreover, in terms of flight performance, the new fighter with two brand-new aero engines has better Terrifying mobility."
Wang Hai’s eyes widened as he saw the performance envelope completely crushing the J-6 and J-7 aircraft. He really couldn't believe that the huge aircraft in front of him had such incredible flight performance. Its maneuverability is simply unreasonable... It seems to be able to easily control many maneuvers that Wang Hai did not dare to fly in the past.
In the past, Wang Hai felt that his aircraft was restricting his technology. Now, he felt like he had finally found an airplane that... allowed him to do his best!
The technical engineer gestured exaggeratedly, as if he had personally conducted a test flight. In fact, the test flight of this kind of aircraft has been completed, and the test pilot has indeed performed many amazing stunts, but this engineer has never seen it before.
However, this did not prevent him from bragging in front of a group of pilots about the work he had participated in manufacturing: "It can even make various exaggerated maneuvers at high angles of attack in the air, always pointing the nose of the aircraft in the direction of the enemy!"
In fact, when the Tang Empire designed this aircraft, it installed an advanced equipment called a fly-by-wire system. The advanced level of this gadget is one level higher than the radar installed on the nose of this aircraft.
It is precisely because of it that this aircraft can complete unprecedented maneuvers so gracefully, and its maneuverability is so incredible.
When Tang Mo took out this system, he felt a little cruel. Using a third-generation aircraft equipped with a fly-by-wire system to fight the first-generation prehistoric jet aircraft... This is no longer punching a kindergarten, this is beating a baby in the delivery room.
"This fighter's maneuverability is even more powerful than the slow-moving propeller fighter. It does not have the shortcomings of the J-7. It has no shortcomings except that it is expensive." After the technical engineer finished the introduction, he said its name: "We gave it a new code name, a two-digit code name! It is called the J-11 fighter jet by His Majesty the Emperor. It is referred to as... the 11-type fighter jet."
That's right, what Tang Mo gave to the Tang Empire Air Force was the famous Sukhoi ace product, the 27 series fighter jets that settled in Shenhoi and blossomed, and were continued to be sublimated.
With its long range, high maneuverability, elegance and strength, the SU-27 is invincible in this era! In other words, it is a super SU-27 fighter jet with a fly-by-wire system and improved controllability!
The technical engineer spread his hands and proudly announced: "With its appearance, it will rule the entire sky! This is an all-round fighter, and everything about it is to become the overlord of the sky."
"In addition, it can also perform mid-air refueling... However, this technology is not yet mature. We need a lot of training to support this latest range expansion technology." Of course, technical engineers still have a lot to say about the future of this aircraft. He wanted to talk, but he knew that the pilots in front of him could not wait to take a closer look at this future fighter, so he ended his introduction as soon as possible: "But these are not important. What is important is that the enemy's Aircraft can no longer keep up with the development speed of our aircraft, and they will always be able to look up to the sky and surrender under the wings of our powerful aircraft! Let’s get familiar with this future super fighter together!”
