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, inside which is installed a new radar equipment with performance far exceeding that of the radar installed on the J-7.
Because the diameter of the radar antenna is larger, its performance is naturally superior to its predecessors. Coupled with the blessing of the Tang Empire's electronic equipment technology, the new aircraft radar has a detection range of more than 150 kilometers! It can lock on the target at a distance of 100 kilometers.
And this detection distance has exceeded the maximum visual range of the human eye. In other words, this brand-new fighter has brought a new concept to the Air Force of the Tang Empire...
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 sight and can directly attack distant enemies.
Launch an attack..."
Coupled with the new pointed air-to-air missiles placed for display 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 proudly announced
: "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 not help but start whispering to each other. They had never heard of such a terrifying thing: they could actually kill their opponents dozens of kilometers away!
The new fighter jet equipped with high-power radar is completely incomparable 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's situation on the entire battlefield, choose the best solution, and enter the battlefield to 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."
Seeing the performance envelope completely crushing the J-6 and J-7 aircraft, Wang Hai's eyes widened. He really couldn't believe that the huge aircraft in front of him actually 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 skills. Now, he feels that he has finally found an aircraft that allows him to give full play to his abilities!
The technical engineer gestured exaggeratedly, as if he had personally performed a test flight. In fact, the test flight of this aircraft had been completed, and the test pilot had indeed performed many amazing stunts, but this engineer had never seen it before.
However, this did not prevent him from boasting 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. This equipment was even more advanced than the radar installed on the nose of this aircraft.
level.
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 himself felt it was a bit cruel. Using a third-generation aircraft equipped with a fly-by-wire system to fight the first-generation prehistoric jet... This is no longer a punch at a kindergarten, this is a beating.
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 flagship 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 with a fly-by-wire system and improved controllability...
fighter!
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 aerial refueling... However, this technology is not yet mature, and we need a lot of training to support this latest range expansion technology." Regarding the future of this aircraft, technical engineers of course still have
There was a lot to say, 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 quickly as possible: "But these are not important. What is important is that the enemy
The aircraft can no longer catch up with the development speed of our aircraft. They will always be able to look up to the sky and surrender under the wings of our powerful aircraft! Now! Let us... get familiar with this future super fighter!
