Chapter 358 ? Zhan, She Is Really Great

Chapter 358 Zhan, she is really great

Four fighters arrived, three SU-27s and a prototype with the manufacturer's production number on it. It was really an SU-35.

The SU-35 is actually a modernized and deeply improved version of the SU-27. There should be an interesting story about the purchase of this fighter. At least Li Zhan thinks that what Mao Xiong said is "equipped with a new avionics system" is not attractive now. It's the Chinese Air Force.

My own home turned out to be many times better than theirs.

From being proactive at the beginning to being ambiguous now, the change in attitude of the Chinese Air Force in this process coincides with the period of great progress in domestic avionics system technology. They suddenly discovered that except for the engine, in most other systems, domestic technology was better than that of starving to death.

Therefore, the desire to introduce SU-35 is not so urgent.

Now I was starving and anxious. I originally wanted to ask for a high price after a few fiddles, but when I saw that I couldn't get it to go away and asked for a high price, I quickly became proactive. However, judging from the current situation, it is still unknown whether Hungry to Death can influence the Chinese Air Force with sincerity.

However, Li Zhan judged that even if it was for 117S aviation, he would buy some, not to mention that it also has great political significance. In the past decade or so, many factories that starved to death without China as their big customer would really starve to death.

It seems that the vector engine is not as attractive as expected, because Lockheed Martin has already produced the fourth generation engine.

The standards for fourth-generation aircraft are often called 4S standards, and are of course also formulated by the United States. In any case, the United States is by far the country with the most developed military technology and the most powerful military power on the planet. The so-called 4S standard simply requires that fourth-generation fighter jets have the following four tactical and technical performances: supersonic cruise, super maneuverability, stealth capability, and comprehensive battlefield situational awareness.

The starving SU-35 calls itself a fourth-and-a-half-generation aircraft. According to different generation standards, it is a third-and-a-half-generation aircraft. It does not dare to be called a fourth-generation aircraft because the aircraft only has the ability of super maneuverability. The manufacturer claims that the aircraft has a lot of capabilities. Strong battlefield situational awareness is questionable. After all, starved avionics technology is notoriously rubbish.

The release of Lockheed Martin's fourth-generation aircraft is still unclear as to whether it means that it has mastered the 4S standard capabilities.

But Li Zhan always feels that if he wants to buy the SU-35, there are only two reasons. First, fill in the establishment and use it as a transitional aircraft type. Especially in the South China Sea, there is an urgent need for a large number of long-range super-maneuverable fighters. The second is engine technology. The 117S technology obviously has its merits.

In any case, Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky, knowing that Li Zhan had a high prestige among the grassroots officers of the Chinese Air Force, strongly boasted about the SU he was driving. -35 fighter aircraft.

It is said that Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky is both an active pilot in the Russian army and a test pilot for the manufacturer. At this time, when Russian soldiers were not well treated, he received a double salary. They all seemed to be more energetic than the other Russian pilots.

The signature move of this forty-year-old Slavic man, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall and weighs 200 pounds, is wearing a military cap crookedly and holding a cigar in his mouth. He even smokes in the outfield. In the end, their superiors seriously warned that doing so would seriously violate the military discipline of the Chinese brothers before he gave up, otherwise he would not listen to his superiors' instructions at all.

On the day they arrived, Li Zhan led the team to escort and guide the landing. They were deeply impressed by the Chinese Air Force pilots' skillful communication in tactical English with a Texas accent. What particularly caught their attention was the performance of the No. 01 fighter jet. They were all senior fighter pilots and could tell from some details. Which is extraordinary.

And they also said that the paint of Chinese Air Force fighter jets is very beautiful and masculine.

The standards for the exchange were not high. Apart from the colonel who led the team, the highest ranking was Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky. Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky has a dual identity, so he is relatively the central figure.

He actually tried his best to invite Li Zhan and said, "Really, Zhan, please open it, I guarantee you will fall in love with her, she is really great."

Li Zhan said, "I'm afraid I can't do this."

"Why?"

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky looked around. There were no Chinese officials there, only fighter planes and ground crews on the tarmac were busy. The sky is gray, making the Chinese air force base with ferocious fangs on the edge of the desert look even darker.

There is no doubt that the entire row of Chinese SU-27s painted with eagle heads in desert paint made Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky feel deeply close to him. He believed that There is nothing that cannot be shared between our own and Chinese pilots, and the plane that is treated as a wife is no exception.

Li Zhan spread his hands and said, "According to regulations, you are not allowed to fly relevant aircraft without modification training. I can drive your Su Liangqi. By the way, what model is your Su Liangqi? It looks like It seems different.”

"There's no problem. If you can open the Su two-seven, you can open the Su three-five." Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky motioned to Li Zhan to walk to the apron together, "Let's The Su Liangqi is a self-use model with a smaller nose angle. These three fighters are our aircraft in the best condition, and we attach great importance to this collaborative exercise."

The Russian Air Force and Air Defense Force are both equipped with fighter jets. Their military organization is quite complicated, with a lot of soldiers, but it is said that the updating and maintenance of weapons and equipment are very poor.

Li Zhan and Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky walked over to check out the SU-27s with white radomes. One of them was the Su-27UB, a two-seat model used by Russia. The Su-27UBK is the same, the latter is the export version. The rest are Su-27SM, Russia’s own version, which has been in use for more than ten years.

"You can experience it in the cockpit, it's a very good fighter." Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky said, pointing to one of the Su-27SM.

Li Zhan was not in a hurry, but looked around the fighter plane. In Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky's view, he believed that this was a very rigorous Chinese Air Force pilot. However, Li Zhan sighed while watching.

The painting of the fighter plane is very rough, and traces of sheet metal repairs can even be seen in some places. It even seems that Li Zhan can smell the paint! It is conceivable that these fighter planes must have been stained for a long time, and they are already the best aircraft in the Russian Air Force. Before they go on a long trip, they need to be repaired urgently so that they will not be too ugly.

This is the current situation of the Russian army.

It is admirable that the Russians have not lost their fighting spirit despite such a difficult period. But if we calm down and think and analyze, throughout history, for China, the threat from the north has never been truly eliminated.

You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others.

Li Zhan boarded the fighter plane and sat in the cockpit. He immediately smelled a strong residual smell of vodka and cigars. Looking at the entire cockpit again, the damage was beyond Li Zhan's expectation. The cockpit is exactly the same as the second-hand Su-27 of the Second Division that the Falcon Brigade took over, but it seems that it has not been maintained for decades. There are even several instruments on the dashboard that are loose!

This damn thing sounds everywhere except the horn!

It is fair to say that this is the fighter plane in the best condition. I'm afraid those idiots don't know that all the J-6Plas in the Chinese Air Force's combat readiness warehouse can take off directly after being pulled out and refueled.

All the Su-27 fighters of the Falcon Group have been grounded and are now parked in the largest combat readiness hangar, waiting to be officially withdrawn from active service, and then dismantled and scrapped. All useful parts are removed as combat readiness aviation materials, and the airframes are remanufactured for the first time. Secondary use.

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky stood on the boarding ladder and said nonchalantly, "Of course, there is some gap compared with your brand-new Su Liangqi, but just In terms of combat, these are not decisive factors.”

They have never admitted that the J-11B is the J-11B, but believe that it is the Chinese version of the Su-27.

Li Zhan forced a smile and said, "Yes, your plane is very good, really great."

"Come and see Su Sanwu's cockpit, my brother and comrade, I believe you will have a new feeling, you will really fall in love with her, I promise." Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky said with an exaggerated gesture.

Li Zhan looked at the Su-35 prototype parked a few seats away. It was fake that he was not moved. He immediately said, "Okay, let's visit the cockpit of your new fighter. I believe it will be a big improvement."

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky excitedly brought Li Zhan to the front of the Su-35 prototype numbered 03. Only then did Li Zhan have the opportunity to look at the aircraft up close. It is defined by Sukhoi as "a fourth-generation fighter jet using fifth-generation fighter technology."

According to their generation Su-35, it belongs to the fourth and a half generation fighter jets, which is what we often call the third and half generation.

Dark gray paint, the color of the nose radome is very similar to the white that has turned yellow over time. At first glance, it is no different from the Su-27, except that the kneeling single wheel of the nose landing gear has become a kneeling wheel. The double-wheeled version has a stronger carrying capacity.

However, Li Zhan knew that the aerodynamic shape of the Su-35 had been optimized by Sukhoi engineers, and the addition of a larger thrust engine gave the Su-35 super maneuverability.

However, when Li Zhan sat in the cockpit, his eyes lit up. This instrument panel is somewhat interesting. Two large flat screens have replaced the original messy instruments. The upper center is a head-up display, and many button functions are very clear and direct.

The overall feeling is that this is not a Maozi product.

Li Zhan gave a thumbs up to Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky.

"She's really great."
