Chapter 443 Air Force Configuration
Qiao Yingzi didn't understand why Chen Jinnian suddenly became interested in airplanes, but aerospace and aviation are inseparable, and she was also a little military fan, so if someone asked for advice, she would naturally be happy to give guidance.
The introduction starts from the main air force in the 1980s and goes all the way to the latest J-20 in service.
Chen Jinnian rubbed his head. "So, according to you, the basic model of the J-11 is a domestically assembled version of the Su-27. Subsequently, improvements based on the J-11 led to the development of the J-11B and J-16."
"Yes, from a platform perspective, the multi-role J-16 [Qianlong] is the ultimate answer derived from the Soviet platform. It is also the most powerful Flanker in the world. Its massive 12-ton payload, when fully loaded, is comparable to the H-6K, making it a veritable bomb truck."
It is rare in the world for a heavy fighter to do the work of a bomber part-time.
If the J-20 is an air assassin, it is used to deal with enemy early warning aircraft and heavy fighters, and is responsible for carrying out door-kicking missions during combat.
The J-16 is responsible for bombarding the ground with artillery fire. It is competent in air-to-air, anti-ground and anti-ship tasks. Except for its stealth which does not meet the standards of a fifth-generation fighter, all other aspects are full marks.
"Which one is more powerful, the J-10 or the J-16?" asked Chen Jinnian.
After hearing this, Qiao Yingzi shook her head slightly.
"The significance is different. The J-10 is a multi-purpose third-generation fighter jet independently developed by China with independent intellectual property rights. The project was launched in 86, flight tests began in 99, delivery began in 03, and troops were equipped in 04. It has been 16 years since then. It faces different enemies than the newly modified J-."
In Qiao Yingzi's view, there is no good or bad airplane. Modern air combat is no longer like that of World War II. Two planes use sights to lock onto each other with the naked eye, and then open their cannons and shoot down enemy planes through a series of dogfights.
Today's aircraft are just platforms, and their combat effectiveness depends on advanced avionics and data link sharing.
"Fighters are constantly being upgraded. The latest improved J-10 is equipped with an active phased array radar that can detect enemy targets 200 kilometers away and then fire a PL-15 air-to-air missile at them to complete the task."
"In other words, the number of J-10s from the latest batch that can be shot down by the J-10s from the oldest batch depends entirely on how many missiles they carry."
Dogfight? No need at all. It's all beyond visual range combat. All the enemy can see is the incoming missiles.
And don’t underestimate the distance of 200 kilometers, it is enough to fly from Beijing to Tianjin and back.
After listening to Qiao Yingzi's popular science explanation, Chen Jinnian finally understood that the bigger the number is, the more powerful it is. Just like a car, it still depends on the specific configuration.
"Oh, by the way, why didn't you introduce the J-15 to me?"
"That's the navy's carrier-based aircraft, on an aircraft carrier. Aren't you only asking about the air force's equipment?" Qiao Yingzi asked back.
The requirements of the Air Force and the Navy are different. For example, no matter how powerful the Air Force's J-30 is, it is a heavy fighter with a full load weight of 35 tons, and this is only when half of the fuel is added. If it is fully fueled, it will exceed tons in minutes.
The aircraft carrier's deck can handle the take-off and landing of such a large object, but the catapult cannot.
"Oh, so that's it."
Wang Yidi and Qiao Yingzi both felt that something was wrong when they saw Chen Jinnian looking thoughtful.
Chen Jinnian usually talks a lot, but today he lowered his head and thought for a while after every two questions, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
"What secret are you hiding?" Qiao Yingzi, who was more outspoken, simply asked the doubts in her heart.
“No secrets.”
Chen Jinnian instantly regained his leisurely demeanor and said, "Let's hurry to the museum. The staff will be off work soon."
He laughed it off, trying to divert their attention.
However, Wang Yidi and Qiao Yingzi are not so easy to fool, especially Wang Yidi. She and Chen Jinnian are together day and night, and it is impossible for her not to notice that her boyfriend is deliberately hiding something.
"You even hid it from me." Wang Yidi said dissatisfiedly. She thought they had no secrets.
Chen Jinnian scratched his head in embarrassment. If he had known earlier, he would not have asked any more questions. He would have just watched the exhibition honestly and the two of them would not have noticed.
"It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose, but I was specifically told to keep it strictly confidential at this stage."
After hearing this, the two looked at each other in surprise. Chen Jinnian was not an ordinary student. There were only a few people who could order him to keep the secret strictly and not even disclose the information to people around him.
If it is just a business project, there is no reason not to tell Wang Yidi. After all, judging from the equity structure, Wang Yidi is a shareholder of Xingyao Huanian Company.
In light of Chen Jinnian's question, Qiao Yingzi suddenly came up with an impossible answer and blurted out:
"air force!"
"What Air Force? I'm not, I don't have it, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Jinnian directly denied the three allegations and kept a stern face, not daring to show any expression.
He is different from Wu Jing. Wu Jing went to the Jinling Military Region at that time and participated in special training, but he didn't get to know much seriously.
But Chen Jinnian is different. His future cooperation partner is the Air Force. Like the submarine force and the missile force, there is a lot of confidential information. He doesn't want the news to leak out of his mouth, even if it is just news of possible cooperation.
After Chen Jinnian finished speaking, he walked straight towards the museum entrance in front of him.
"Fuck." Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but say.
She is now helpless because she is uneducated and can only say "fuck" to everyone.
Qiao Yingzi's dream is to become an astronaut, but she hasn't even made it to the stage of becoming a pilot. Now, Chen Jinnian, who is always cheerful and successful in the entertainment industry, is going to get the first chance to get in touch with the Air Force.
"When did it happen?" she asked Wang Yidi.
Unfortunately, Wang Yidi didn't know either. "I've been with you all summer. Jinnian is filming on the set. If you don't know, then I don't know either."
However, unlike Qiao Yingdong's shock and envy, Wang Yidi is now proud of himself and feels proud of his excellent vision.
Chen Jinnian bought a ticket and hurriedly visited the Beihang University Museum. To be honest, there were indeed some things there. Compared with the heritage of national defense schools like Beihang University, their art colleges were like universities located in the urban-rural fringe.
If you have it, that’s great; if you don’t, it doesn’t seem to matter too much.
Of course, the museum would be better without Qiao Yingzi's buzzing and nagging.
"Don't ask me. Why are you just like your mom in class? You keep nagging without even taking a breath."
"Can you reveal a little bit?"
"No, everything is pending. What is there to reveal?" Chen Jinnian pulled up the mask to cover his nose and turned sideways to avoid the crowd leaving the museum.
He and Wang Yidi didn't want to attract attention. "Ask Taozi and Yangyang if they are there. Let's go out and get together."
"What about Lei'er?" Qiao Yingzi asked.
The three of them were silent at the same time. Yes, where was Lin Lei'er? He had been disappearing since the Dragon Boat Festival and had not appeared yet.
