Chapter 1952 Austrian Air Force
There are many fairy tale towns in Austria, and only Hallstatt can be called the "most beautiful".
This lakeside town stands between majestic green mountains and gem-like lakes. You can see fairy tale-like dreamy old wooden houses and quiet and quiet natural scenery everywhere. Even though it is hidden in such a leisurely and secluded corner, it still amazes the world.
The small town of Hallstatt, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is like an elegant ribbon wandering between the lush green mountains and the clear green Hallstatt Lake. The town is perfectly decorated with various log cabin buildings. Along the lakeside and hillside, the romantic and fresh European style blends with the natural scenery like ink paintings. Every scene is so beautiful that it is moving.
If there really is a fairy tale world and a fairyland on earth, it must be what the small town of Hallstatt looks like, certainly in the morning and at night. During the day, Hallstatt is crowded with tourists. It is estimated that all that can be seen is Only human heads, tourists are nature’s biggest natural enemy.
Yang Cheng and the others got up early the next day. Luo Yue took the old people and set off first, while Yang Cheng stayed in the hotel and waited for Alois' call. God knows what time this guy who played all night would be able to get up.
But unexpectedly, almost when Yang Cheng was finishing breakfast, Alois entered the hotel with swollen eyes and frivolous steps.
"Hey, good morning, buddy, are you done eating?"
Yang Cheng looked at him funny, "Yeah, I just finished eating and you haven't eaten yet?"
Alois yawned, "I haven't eaten yet. Do you mind if I take a bite?"
"Of course, I'll get you some more?"
"No, no, no, no~"
Alois waved the waiter over, ordered a few traditional Western breakfast items, and ate them hungrily after being delivered.
How can I still look like a prince?
"The person we made an appointment with will be at the hotel soon, we'll just wait~"
"Huh? Let them come to the hotel? Is it appropriate?"
"Is there anything inappropriate? Believe me, they are more anxious than you~"
Yang Cheng considered, "What Austria needs to replace most right now is its air force equipment, right?"
Alois nodded, "Yes, Austria is a small country, but it is the only country with the largest research and development capacity after the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
The only country equipped with Typhoon fighter jets.
The Austrian Air Force is currently equipped with 15 Typhoon fighter jets. In terms of air transportation, the Austrian Air Force is equipped with 3 US-made C-130K transport aircraft and 8 PC-6 light aircraft made in neighboring Switzerland.
The training aircraft come from two neutral countries, Switzerland and Sweden. They are 19 Saab 105 jet trainer aircraft produced in Sweden and 13 PC-7 piston trainer aircraft produced in Switzerland.
This is the total air power of Austria. Just have an idea. I'll test it for you. They are planning to replace 12 Gripen fighter jets or F16s. In addition, if possible, they hope to match it with 3-4 F-15s. Even used by F-35~"
Yang Cheng was shocked, "What? I can understand it with the F15, but what does it mean with the F-35? Besides, Austria can't even spend money to maintain the typhoon, so how can it have the money to buy the F35? Let alone the expensive post-maintenance."
Alois shrugged, "This is beyond the scope of what I can understand. I am not a military expert, but I heard the other party say that they seemed to refer to the use of American-made fighters of the Israeli Air Force. Maybe they have their own What’s the idea?”
Yang Cheng's face was full of absurdity, "Israel? Don't be kidding, the needs of the two countries are completely different."
If you ask your aviation enthusiast friends which country's air force was the first to play with the American-made F15 and F16, I guess many friends will blurt out that it must be the United States, because these two fighter attack aircraft are purely made in the United States. However, This answer is wrong.
The correct answer is Israel. The Israeli Air Force is the first country in the world besides the United States to obtain these two types of fighter attack aircraft. And it was the Israeli Air Force that was the first to pair these two types of fighter aircraft into actual combat. This is the history of aviation combat. Even the U.S. Air Force and Navy have to stand back and be convinced by the record. The Israeli Air Force is the first in the world to play with the American-made F15 and F16, which are worthy of the name and are guaranteed to be fake.
The Israeli Air Force has a very powerful idea. Of course, this idea was taught by the Americans. That is, its main combat aircraft are at least one generation ahead of its neighboring countries.
So soon after the American-made F15 and F16 were installed in the U.S. Air Force, the Israeli Air Force obtained a relatively large number of F15 and F16 fleets through the U.S. Special Military Aid Act. Of course, everyone who knows about it knows that. The Air Force is the true pride and national treasure of their country!
Israel has been vigorously implementing the country's best resources through legislation for many years, and has unswervingly implemented the national policy of tilting towards the Air Force.
In addition, Israel and its neighboring countries are fighting almost every day. The pilots of the Israeli Air Force are skilled and have rich practical experience. Although the fleet size is not large in the world, its combat effectiveness is very powerful.
However, Israelis are very pragmatic and smart. They have summed up a lot of experience and lessons from their rich practical experience, and then they began to modify American-made fighter jets based on the summed up experience.
Even the Americans admire this very much. Many of the subsequent improvement and modification plans of the F15 and F16 referred to the actual combat experience of the Israeli Air Force.
For example, the Americans proposed the concept of using F15 and F16 in high and low positions on the battlefield. This was the first time the Israeli Air Force used it in actual combat in the world and achieved great success. This most classic Air Force combat example was the complete destruction of the Iraqi nuclear reactor (codenamed Operation Babylon). )'s cross-border air raids shattered Uncle Sar's dream of being the first communist country to possess an atomic bomb.
For many years, the Israeli Air Force has had a special liking for the US-made F-15 and F16 fighter attack aircraft, and its accumulated experience in use, actual combat, and modification is no less than that of the US Air Force.
Entering the era of stealth fighter attack aircraft, the Israeli Air Force is still the first in the world to use the US-made F35 stealth fighter and participate in actual combat.
However, the Israeli Air Force continues to order American-made F-15 improved fighter attack aircraft. The reason is that the F-15 is a generation of classic fighter jets that has created countless unimaginable achievements and can be called a generation of miracle aircraft.
Secondly, although Israel is a Middle Eastern country, Israel is not as rich as Saudi Arabia, so Israel did not continue to add F-35 fighter jets, but chose the most applicable and convenient F-15 fighter jet.
Although it is involved in the R&D and production plan of the F35, and the Americans are willing to provide more F35s in large quantities, the Israeli Air Force still builds a strong air force according to its own national conditions and does not blindly pursue the full stealth of the fleet. , the powerful and pragmatic Israeli Air Force is indeed worth learning from foreigners, but it does not mean that it is completely applicable to the Austrian sky.
God knows if the F35 suddenly appeared in the sky over Austria, would it scare the Germans, Swiss, and even the Polish, Czech, and Italian people not far away to the point of urinating and giving them nightmares at night?
