Chapter 592 Expensive
Compared with the current third-generation fighter jets, the average data of the Black Hawk fighter has no obvious advantage.
However, just looking at the description cannot fully explain the true combat effectiveness of this fighter.
You must know that the current third-generation fighter jets are all developed in the last century. Even the latest third-generation fighter jets are all improved versions, and the prototypes are still some mature third-generation fighter jets.
Whether it is the Sombra Fighter or the Intruder, they are all the latest technological products of the base, and they are in a leading position in terms of design concepts and aircraft production and development time.
This is also the last advantage in the development and production of fighter jets. This kind of last advantage, especially in the global air force fighter production model, has very obvious boundaries.
Just like the third-generation fighter jets in the past, all the radars equipped were Doppler radars, and the latest third-generation fighter jets were almost all phased array radars, and fighter jets of the same era, but Doppler radars could match Does phased array radar compare?
One is the mechanical scanning method. Compared with the electronic scanning of the phased array radar, the radar's active power and range are completely different.
The reason why the Invader fighter jets have always been in the leading position in the contest with the Israeli Air Force is because although the two sides belong to the same third-generation aircraft, they were developed at different times, and the overall performance of the fighter jets is not comparable at all. . 8 fiction w?ww.`
Otherwise, if it is replaced with the latest Fighting Falcon or Eagle fighter, which is also equipped with the latest phased array radar, avionics system and engagement system, then the Intruder fighter will have no advantage.
Regrettably, the third-generation fighter jets currently equipped by the Israeli Air Force were all equipped around the 1990s.
The aircraft is already very old, and the hardware life of the aircraft has reached its limit. Many exciting actions that could be done flexibly at the beginning, now Israeli fighter pilots dare not do anything casually, for fear of operating the old aircraft. Suddenly some parts fell out, some kind of mechanical failure occurred.
After seeing the data and description of the Black Hawk fighter, Cai Ruichen didn't know what level this fighter was at among the fighters of the same generation in the world.
However, some basis for judgment can still be obtained from the contest between the invader fighter jets and the Israeli Air Force.
Against those advanced 3rd generation fighters. The Sombra fighter should not be weak, and it has an advantage against those old-fashioned third-generation fighters that have not undergone system upgrades.
After all, a young and strong guy,
He is not on the same level as the older man himself. ??`
but. They haven't met officially yet, and everything is still unknown. No matter how powerful the Black Hawk fighter is, it can only be used in this world.
In the wasteland, due to the baptism of the world war, the survival of the fittest is almost entirely dominated by fourth-generation fighter jets.
Even in a country like Iraq, the air force uses fourth-generation J-20 fighter jets, let alone other countries.
Based on the data of the Black Hawk fighter, Cai Ruichen doesn't think it is such a fighter. That's how powerful it can be in the wasteland.
Even meeting those J-20s in the safe zone of Benica would be enough.
The place where the Black Hawk fighter can be used is the air environment of the present world. There, except for the top three of the five hooligans, other countries have not officially equipped with fourth-generation fighter jets.
However, it will be uncertain in a few years. At that time, the allies of the United States will also start to fully equip Lightning fighter jets. India also has the t-5o jointly produced with Russia.
Little Japan in the Far East. Not only will it be equipped with a large number of Lightning fighters, but its own domestically produced Xinshen fighter is also a fourth-generation fighter.
In the Middle East, Israel will soon be equipped with Lightning fighter jets. At that time, even the Black Hawk fighter will lose its ability to dominate the air.
Therefore, at that time, if the Red Police Corps wants to seize air supremacy, they must have at least one fourth-generation fighter of their own.
Of course, if not, Cai Ruichen would not buy a large number of American Lightning fighters. There is no need to be taken advantage of by the Americans. It is good to buy a few and come back for reverse research. There is no need to buy in large quantities.
Because even if you buy more Lightning fighters, once you face the United States or other countries with the same Lightning fighters in the future, Cai Ruichen, who has turned against the United States, will have almost no way to use this fighter to deal with such an opponent.
Arms sales are the same no matter what country it is. If you want to use the weapons you bought against me, you are definitely courting death.
Whether it is defective or secondary, the main reason is that the above operating system and combat equipment are completely other people's, and even your radar can't detect the other party. Under certain electromagnetic suppression, it will become scrap iron.
As for modification, it is almost impossible, because it involves a compatibility issue. Advanced fighter jets are high-precision and complex combat platforms, and every link is closely linked. For major changes, other things must be modified accordingly, and the workload is no less than reproducing a similar fighter.
With the current development of air military equipment in this world, third-generation fighter jets naturally still have a place. After all, the real role of fourth-generation fighter jets is to seize air supremacy.
On the future battlefield, when an opponent's air supremacy and air defense system are all destroyed, even second-generation fighter jets can still be arrogant in the enemy's airspace.
The most important thing is that in a war environment that does not require sound cruise or stealth, the third-generation fighter jets that are cheap to produce and still have excellent attack effects still have their own sky.
Therefore, in the future, whether it is the Black Hawk fighter or the Intruder fighter, even if they play different roles in the Red Police Corps, the role still exists.
Now, these two fighter jets have played a mainstay role in terms of demand. There is no way, after all, there are no other fighter jets to choose from.
It's just that the intruder is okay, and the cost is only 400,000 funds, while the cost of the Black Hawk fighter directly soared to a high price of 1 million funds.
This price still made Cai Ruichen slander for a while, it was calculated based on the current income of the base funds, and based on the efficiency of fighter jet production.
One Black Hawk fighter jet can be produced in one day, that is to say, if a Black Hawk fighter jet is produced today, then the fund of 1.2 million will be obtained in one day, and only 200,000 can be used for other purposes.
