It's not as rough as Li Hai thought. Since it's maintenance, it must be done without knocking. It's just that he has seen most of the electronic maintenance before. Seeing such a barbaric scene, he couldn't accept it for a while.
That’s all.
Li Yuanchao changed his body and continued to smash, walked across the fuselage to the left wing, pointed to the wing tip and said to Li Hai, "This position is relatively seriously damaged and has been basically reset. If the follow-up test does not meet the standards, the entire left wing will have to be destroyed."
Replace it."
He smiled and said, "In short, you won't be able to fly this plane in a short time."
Li Hai was immediately disappointed, "If I want to replace the wings, do I have to order them from the manufacturer and send them for installation or return them to the factory?"
"If we can't repair it here, we will basically have to bring it back to the manufacturer for repair." Li Yuanchao lamented, "Our division's J-8 will last for a long time, and we definitely can't give up."
Li Hai said sincerely, "The J-8 is actually quite good. It is an excellent high-altitude interceptor aircraft."
"That's right, Master Ba is fine." Li Yuanchao raised his chin proudly.
One after the other, Li Hai has completely different views on the J-8F. It can be said that a young man doesn’t know what it is good at, and you will know its taste only after you eat it. A weapon and equipment does not have to have very advanced performance to be called a famous aircraft.
It doesn't mean that it can't contribute to victory just because its performance is mediocre.
For example, the T-34 during World War II is generally considered to be fragile. However, without this tank, it may be more difficult for the Soviet Union to turn defeat into victory.
When we evaluate a piece of weapons and equipment, we usually mainly look at what contributions it has made. In the past long years, since the establishment of the PLA Navy, the J-7 and J-8 have been the main fighters of course.
Among them, the most threatening weapon in our hands is the J-8.
Based on this alone, the J-8 deserves its due status instead of being looked down upon by the world.
Li Hai stayed in the maintenance hangar, helping with some maintenance work within his ability. There is an unbreakable truth - to understand a fighter aircraft, it is necessary to conduct an all-round and in-depth analysis of it. Undoubtedly, through this maintenance,
This opportunity is a good opportunity to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the J-8F.
This kid's mind is quite flexible. After having a basic understanding, he suddenly asked Li Yuanchao, "Captain of the Aid Korea Squadron, if I want to install something on the plane, do I need to report it to my superiors for approval?"
"Additional installation?" Li Yuanchao said in surprise, "Of course, and there is a high probability that it will not be approved. This is a fighter jet, not a gun."
He asked, "What are you going to add?"
"Sensor." Li Hai said.
Li Hai had a deep reflection on the various problems he encountered due to weather during the last typhoon flight. The fundamental reason why he flew in the dark like a blind and deaf person was because the J-8F's situational awareness was too poor.
However, even if it is a J-20, there may not be much difference under the circumstances at that time. But the problem must be looked at in two parts. It is basically impossible for Li Hai to experience such a thing again. The enhanced J-8F
The battlefield situational awareness capability is not necessarily to deal with similar situations, but to be more capable in future missions.
It’s just that he also knows that ideas are just ideas, but implementing them is not that simple.
Li Yuanchao said, "It's basically impossible. According to what you said, it is equivalent to improvement. Our division's J-8 has long been determined not to undergo any modifications, and will be replaced by third-and-a-half-generation fighters step by step."
"Then it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse." Li Hai shook his head in disappointment.
"There is no way, the Forgotten Reef is such a big place, it must be the last batch of people to change their clothes." Li Yuanchao said.
This is true.
Instead, Li Hai comforted himself, "Maybe not necessarily. Even taking over a second-hand third-generation aircraft from a brother unit would be good."
We won't be able to return to the Flying Shark Force for at least a year, and we will have to fly third-generation aircraft or even third-and-a-half-generation fighters. Judging from the situation at Forgotten Reef, if we don't pick up the rags, we can only continue to fly with the J-8F. The high probability is that
Continue to use the J-8F, unless Li Hai is very lucky and encounters a change of equipment, even if it is a second-hand product.
"It's possible." Li Yuanchao stopped chatting with Li Hai and continued to work.
It was on this day that Li Zhan attended the dress-up ceremony of the Sea Eagle Regiment at Dachang Station thousands of kilometers away. The first batch of brand-new J-16 fighter-bombers officially joined the regiment and became the new Bald Eagle fighter jets.
The division commander, political commissar and chief of staff of a certain HNA division where the regiment was located were all present. Xue Xiangnan, the leader of the regiment, reported his work to the leaders.
The finalization of the J-16 is inseparable from Li Zhan. It can be said that from the end of the manufacturer's test flight to the finalization of the aircraft and its delivery to the troops, the crucial actual combat test flight was led by Li Zhan and was completed personally.
As long as there is a unit of this type of aircraft in service, the unit will try its best to invite Li Zhan to attend. This has become a routine. If you don't invite, you will appear to be one level lower than other units. Li Zhan is helpless and can only squeeze out time.
Come and participate, no one should be treated badly.
Accompanied by a group of leaders, Li Zhan inspected the Sea Eagle Regiment. He smiled and said to Xue Xiangnan, "Commander Xue, the replacement of new fighters does not mean that the combat effectiveness has been improved. I can tell you that the J-16 has great potential and can form
What kind of combat effectiveness depends on your discovery."
"Yes, we will do our best to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time and continue to explore the combat potential of new fighters." Xue Xiangnan answered decisively.
The teacher smiled and said, "Mr. Li, they say this aircraft is like old wine in new bottles. It looks similar to Su Sanling on the outside, but it's completely different on the inside. How credible is this statement?"
"One hundred percent." Li Zhan said with a smile, "It can be said that the J-16 is one and a half years ahead of the Su-30. It is at the same level as the Su-57. It is even more advanced than the Su-57 in terms of avionics technology."
The teacher couldn't smile from ear to ear.
"The latest J-11B can't beat the J-10C. I don't know how the J-16 will fare against the J-10C." Xue Xiangnan said.
A few years ago, when the J-10A of the Dahongying Division pressed the J-11A to the ground and rubbed it hard, everyone was shocked - when did domestic fighter jets become so powerful? When the J-11B entered service, it encountered the J-11A.
11A, barely fought for several rounds and finally lost.
When the J-10B and J-10C came out, there was no longer much suspense in the air combat between the two models. The J-10 series fighters became the rulers of the sky. The impact of this result is far-reaching and has greatly reversed the
It has eliminated people’s impression that “domestic production means backwardness”.
When facing the J-10 series of fighter jets, the J-11 series probably only has its inherent advantages worth mentioning - the heavy twin-engine fighter's long range and large bomb load.
Xue Xiangnan's problem is a problem common to most J-11 series fighter pilots, and it is also the most concerned issue for the original Su-30MKK fighter-bomber units, because sooner or later they will have to replace themselves with J-16 fighter-bombers.
Smiling slightly, Li Zhan said with certainty, "In terms of fighter performance, the J-16 can surpass the J-10 series of fighters. Some people have a misunderstanding, thinking that the two-seat J-16 can also be used as a bomber for air combat. In fact,
, From our current concept, there is no single professional fighter. Can you say that the J-10 is an air superiority fighter that also takes into account ground strikes? We have never issued such a requirement to the research and development unit."
Although he said it very tactfully, the meaning was very clear.
The J-16 is an all-rounder. To be precise, it should be called a multi-purpose fighter rather than a fighter-bomber. For example, after mounting an electronic pod and replacing the combat module, it becomes an electronic fighter.
Li Zhan recalled that during the actual test flight of the J-16, he single-handedly fought against the entire chicken coop to simulate the Blue Army's air defense network...
