Chapter one hundred and seventy seventh
The apg-66 radar is limited by the head size and is not as far away as the awg-9 radar. However, its signal processing method is worse than the awg-9 radar and has complete downward-view downward-shooting capabilities.
When talking about this radar, Mhamad felt a sigh in his heart. In later generations, the peace model plan was to use Western avionics to improve the J-8 fighter jet, and this radar was used. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the plan died abruptly.
Upon hearing Mhamad say that he would provide another radar, Bai Xue's eyes flashed with excitement: "Brother General Mhamad, thank you for your selfless help."
The two-year agreement was just a kind of pressure, which would be converted into power, and another radar was provided, which was absolutely helpful.
"In fact, avionics systems not only include the radar part," Mhamad said: "We have a lot of ways to go, the 1553b data bus, central fire control computers, laser inertial guides, and various subsystems all need to be broken through. Most importantly, there is more than 4 degrees of telex control."
Every word Mhamad said stimulates Bai Xue's brain cells. As a student who graduated from the avionics major, Bai Xue has always been paying attention to Western fighter jets. These are all advanced Western technologies, and each item has greatly improved the performance of fighter jets.
The person in front of me is not a brigade general, he is simply his own mentor.
Bai Xue's eyes were full of passion, admiration, admiration... This foreign man gave her a strange feeling.
"Mr. Brigadier General, among the two fighter aircrafts equipped by your country, the f-14 is variable sweep wing, which is the earliest third-generation aircraft, while the f-16 is fixed-wing, which improves performance through edge wings. At the same time, the US F-15 and the Soviet MiG-29 have abandoned the variable sweep wing technology. Does this mean that the variable sweep wing technology is outdated?" At this moment, another technician asked boldly.
Mhamad is just a soldier, not a technician, but after the past two days of exchange, they found that the brigade general's mind had to stand at a height and see further than they could.
This question is too professional. Tujida wants to stop his people from asking this question, but he really wants to hear Mhamad's opinion.
"Variable sweep wings give fighters a wide flight envelope." Mhamad said: "For example, our Tomcat fighter has excellent interception performance at high altitude and high speed and excellent low altitude and low-speed fighting ability. However, its disadvantage is that it pays the price of weight. Only with computer technology can it play its due advantages. The edge wing is an advance in aerodynamics. By using eddy currents, the performance of large angle of attack is improved. However, within a small angle of attack range, its lift resistance characteristics are not as good as the basic wings of the boundless strip; and, due to the eddy currents, it causes the aircraft's focus to move forward, causing nonlinear changes in pitch torque. It must be controlled properly through excellent fly-by-wire control."
"No technology is absolutely advanced, and advanced technology may not be suitable." Mhamad said: "Only by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of various technologies, choose the most suitable one. For example, there is no popular duck layout yet, and it also has its inherent advantages. The positive lift can make the nose point to the target more quickly."
"Wow, wow, wow." After Mhamad finished speaking, he found that these experts from the East all applauded him. What's going on? He hasn't talked about J-10 yet.
Although Mhamad in his previous life came from the Army, he has been fond of military affairs since he was a child. He was a military fan before joining the army. He originally wanted to report to the Air Force, but he failed the physical examination in the Zhifei Army. Finally, he entered the Shijiazhuang Army Command Academy and became the Army.
Although he is just an Air Force fan, with the facts verified by decades of later generations, what Mhamad said is of course correct.
As for variable sweep wings, it is not that they are behind, but that they are no longer needed. The Americans have dominated the world and show off their power everywhere, and there is no need for special air-control fighters.
"Brother General Mhamad, I am extremely impressed by your prowess." Tujida said, especially when Mhamad mentioned the duck-style layout, it coincides with the advanced models that it is developing.
It was dark. Taking advantage of the night, the Yunba plane that had been staying for two days flew away. Standing on the runway of the airport and looking at the transport plane that flew into the night sky, Mhamad felt a lot of emotion.
If Pakistan wants stability, it must maintain good relations with Eastern countries. At the same time, if Pakistan wants absolute security, it must solve the Indian problem!
Modern warfare is a comprehensive national strength. The army armed with the equipment it has been bought will never be truly powerful. Pakistan must have independent national defense. At this stage, it is to increase cooperation with Eastern countries.
"Originally, the president was going to come, but if something happened, he couldn't come." Nur Khan said: "But we also gained a lot this time. Mhamad, your knowledge is beyond my imagination."
"At this stage, we are mainly fighting the Soviets in air, so I have to put in my efforts to understand our air power," said Mhamad.
"After I go back, I will recommend it to the president. It's a pity to stay on the front line with a talent like you. We still lack a chief of staff at the Air Force." Nur Khan said.
Chief of Staff of the Air Force? Mhamad suddenly wanted to shake his head. Although his official position was high, he could not command the battle on the front line. It was not good, so he still liked to stay here. However, when facing the Air Force Commander, Mhamad could only accept: "Thank you for the training of the commander."
"When the cold winter passes, there will definitely be new movements among the Soviets. We must be vigilant and protect our territory." Nur Khan continued.
Seeing the helicopter Nur Khan disappear into the night sky, Mhamad always felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
"Mhamad, you're going to be promoted," Musha Af said: "The Chief of Air Force Staff, even if he's in the president's sight."
"Commander, don't make fun of me." said Mhamad. With Mushaav, Mhamad was very relaxed: "I don't want to go there at all. I want to stay in Peshawar and be with our frontline soldiers. If the President can ask for my opinion, I must recommend you to the President."
"Mhamad, you have to borrow your wind." Musha Af said with a smile. Both of them knew that this was impossible.
The night is deep and the stars are shining.
Time passed day by day, and the cold winter in Afghanistan finally passed.
As the weather warmed up, the Soviets began to intensify their siege of the Afghan Free Army in the north.
Unlike before, the Soviets learned the lesson this time and did not advance rashly, but instead advanced step by step, starting from big cities, gradually advancing to the surrounding areas, constantly building posts, arranging guards, and compressing the space for the Afghan Free Army's activity space layer by layer.
After being compressed into the mountainous area, a large number of troops were arranged at the mountain pass, but they did not enter the mountainous area, trying to trap the Afghan Free Army inside to death with the blockade.
In the most important Wakhan Corridor, conflicts broke out between the two sides. Every day, the Soviets sent a large number of planes to bomb. They ignored their own consumption and tried to strangle the logistics supply of the Afghan Free Army.
The liberation of Afghanistan was going very smoothly last year, but now, the situation has suddenly changed drastically.
"Boom!" A bomb landed on a slope. The soldier who had just stood there carrying the stinger missile wanted to shoot, had not had time to lock the other party, and the bomb was thrown near him. With the explosion's air waves, his body was lifted up.
"Crit!" Fahim shouted, his guard, now killed by Soviet planes.
"Retreat!" Osama shouted loudly. Recently, he has been with the third regiment. Because of the bombing of Soviet planes, they tried their best to transport them at night and hide during the day. However, just when they had just left for one night and found a place to hide, they were air strikes from the Soviets.
They flew very high, exceeding the stinger's shooting. At the same time, the bombs they threw were very accurate, and they should be laser-guided bombs, which caused heavy losses to the third regiment.
They wanted to protect these supplies, but the price was that they were all destroyed. So Osama adapted to the situation, immediately threw down the supplies, and hid in a further mountainous area.
As the Third Regiment and the Guard retreated to the deep mountains on both sides of the Wakhan Corridor, several female deer flew over and chased them behind, shooting at them with rockets and machine guns.
"Pull it up, pull it up." A female deer was shooting, and the weapon operator suddenly shouted loudly.
On the side, a stinger missile dragging the tongue of fire flew towards them.
The female deer climbed immediately, but unfortunately, she still couldn't escape the attack of the stinger missile. The missile accurately hit the engine on the top of it, and the female deer fell downward with thick smoke.
The missile-launched person was about to leave when another female deer fired a rocket covering his just-fired launch, with smoke everywhere.
The battle was cruel. After seeing hope, Afghanistan's road to liberation suddenly turned sharply and fell into a passive state of being beaten.
Under the attack of the Soviets, the three main groups lost their previous good combat situation and the situation became critical.
"We must report to His Excellency Mhamad." Fahim said, hiding in a cave and looking at the people around him.
