The Tomcat's target shooting achieved a successful success, which also means that the Pakistani Air Force has added another killing weapon.

"After this missile is finalized, according to our original agreement, we will also establish a missile factory in Pakistan to produce this missile," said Mhamad.

"Yes, we are waiting for the finalization test now." Old Arslan said: "After the finalization is successful, we will start domestic production."

"At the same time, we will continue to invest in Sweden," Mhamad said. "The Swedes have a long sight. In addition to the active sky flash of the seeker that modifies this seeker, they should also have a project using ramjets, and we can continue to cooperate with them to develop this missile."

"Yes." Old Arslan nodded repeatedly: "The Swedes showed us, but at that time our attention was in the active sky flash and we didn't pay attention to this missile. Now, our next target is the new ramjet air-to-air missile."

》No > Wrong》 Actively flashing the sky, silently in later generations. That's because this missile was not successfully developed, but the long-range air-to-air missile with ramjet engines is very famous in later generations, that is the Meteor Sky-to-air missile!

When Saab was developing the active radar-type "Sky Flash" air-to-air missile, through researching the market, in addition to deciding to develop this missile, it also used advanced technologies such as ramjet and data links on this type of missile to develop better-performance air-to-air missiles to seize the future market. The Swedes were very forward-looking in this regard. Unfortunately, in history, after the prototype of the Gripen fighter crashed in 1989, Sweden found that its capabilities were limited. So the Swedish Ministry of Defense canceled the development project of the new missile and focused on the development of the Gripen fighter. In order to avoid the failure of this missile, the Swedes finally decided to push it to the international market, immediately attracted the participation of Germany, France, Italy, Spain and other countries, and established the "Meteor" missile group. After several years of development, this missile eventually became a standard air-to-air missile in Europe. It demonstrated the capabilities of the Europeans and showed its strength to the United States.

Now, the Swedes are still developing it themselves and have no intention of investing in the international market. Pakistan invests with funds, and the Swedes will definitely agree.

Although the Immortal Bird has a long range, it is too bulky and has limited overload, and is not suitable for future air combat. If Pakistan can obtain long-range air-to-air missiles with a range of 100 kilometers in Swedish technology, the Immortal Bird will almost be retired.

"Report to the President, our air-to-air missiles have entered the first stage, but our current development is facing another problem," said Old Arslan.

"What's the question?" asked Mhamad.

"We are still missing fighter jets," said Old Arslan. "Our main force of the air force is about eighty Tomcat fighters and forty F-16 fighters. Now, twenty Tomcat fighters have been transferred into the Navy, and we only have sixty Tomcat fighters left. The number of our advanced fighters is still too small. If there are about eighty more, that would be the best."

Some of the Tomcat fighters were lost during the battle, but when Rick returned from South Africa, he drove the Tomcat fighters in South Africa back, replenishing Pakistan's losses.

Lack of fighter jets! This problem did not disappear because of the end of the war. On the contrary, this problem is becoming more and more serious.

After the Soviets left, the Pakistan Air Force also needed to protect the Afghanistan and further expand the defense area. At the same time, India in the eastern region also needed to deal with possible battles at any time and wars that looked to the future. For example, for East Pakistan, they wanted to retake them all the time, which almost flew over the entire Indian continent. In the future planning, the sky above the Indian continent was indeed the guard range of the Pakistan Air Force. In this way, the number of fighter jets of the Pakistan Air Force was too small.

Mhamad frowned. He had thought of this question before. At that time, he originally planned to equip the second batch of Tomcat fighters. However, in order to improve Pakistan's own domestic manufacturing level, Mhamad hoped that these fighters would be produced in Pakistan. However, the United States rejected Mhamad's request, so the final order was gone.

At the same time, for Mhamad, it is not a simple production. Pakistan will thoroughly digest and absorb this fighter in its own country, and then it can launch updated and improved products. Just like the Su-27 in later generations, it was assembled dozens of aircraft and stopped, turning into the J-11.

Digital telex systems, optimized flight control, and more mount capabilities are all places that Pakistan hopes to upgrade. When technology was introduced from the United States and hopes of domestic production in Pakistan were dashed, Mhamad had another way left, which was to reverse mapping the Tomcat.

The surveying and mapping mission was carried out in China. In addition to surveying and mapping, the development of new digital telex and other technologies is also in an orderly manner. Not to mention anything else, at least the two difficulties of engine and avionics have been overcome, with only the body left, and there are not many difficulties. The only thing I don’t want to worry about is digital telex.

Thinking of this, Mhamad said: "Yes, it seems we can't wait any longer. We have to make preparations. On the one hand, discuss with the Americans to see if we can buy a batch of Tomcat fighters at a discounted price. There are not too many, just about twenty. On the other hand, we contacted China to see how the work of the reverse mapping Tomcat fighter is going, especially the telex system we need to improve, and whether we have overcome difficulties."

It is already winter, and the north is already frozen thousands of miles away and snow is falling on the land of China. The south is even colder at this time, and the south without heating is even harder than the north.

The climate in the Sichuan Basin is no longer stuffy, hot and humid. Instead, it is time to live more comfortable now during the year.

Chengdu.

The people in the institute are still working nervously. For the country's key projects, many people work day and night. If the country wants to develop, they must invest more financial resources in economic construction. Even so, they have not given up on Xingfei. Their own projects are the country's key models and there must be no problem!

At the same time, as the focus of the development of the new model, two models are being placed on the Iron Bird Test Bench established inside Chengfei.

The model on the left is already a one-to-one complete proportional model, and all flight control aspects of the model are already installed in place like the real aircraft.

The cockpit rods, pedals, and various rudder surfaces outside are accurately assembled according to the real aircraft. If an ordinary person takes a look, he will definitely think that this is a real aircraft.

Of course, only the flight control is complete, and the rest are quite simple.

There are countless cables on the Iron Bird, which are connected to the test equipment outside.

This model is a duck-style aircraft, and the canard wings in front are also movable, and the belly of the aircraft is inhaled. As long as you see it, military fans in later generations will know that this is the pride of the Air Force, the J-10 fighter jet!

The model on the other side makes people look even more eye-catching. Isn’t this the Tomcat fighter?

The skin of the rear fuselage has not been restored yet, so the skeleton is exposed behind and the engine is not installed, so it is exposed. However, all flight control components are complete, including the wings, flaps, tails, and various rudder surfaces. New digital telex components have been installed on the flying surface.

A young technician was checking something on the computer, with sweat beads on his nose. For more than two years, he spent almost every day here.

There were also many technicians around, working together to tinker, looking at the program codes, and constantly discussing.

"Mr. Yang, how is the project progress?" Just as the young technician was tinkering, a voice came from his ears.

Yang Wei raised his head and saw the tough old man in front of him. A smile barely came out on his face: "Mr. Song, are you here?"

Song Wencong would come here to see it almost every few days. After all, the development of the flight control system is related to the development progress of the entire fighter jet. Domestic third-generation aircraft must come out of Chengfei!

"We are overcoming the bug in the final program," said Yang Wei: "It may take one or two days, or one or two months, and our telex system will be able to install and experiment."

"Well, we can't just seek speed, we must be stable. Whether our new function can be successfully developed depends on our telex system." Song Wencong said: "How is the flight control law of Tomcat fighter jets researching?"

Looking at the almost dismembered Tomcat fighter jet, Yang Wei said: "The research on this fighter jet is quite smooth. If nothing unexpected happens, we should install the aircraft and test flights."

Historically, Yang Wei and his technicians took only more than a year to get this system out. At that time, they were day and night and carried forward the spirit of continuous combat.

Now, the time has been delayed for a year, because this time, the two systems are synchronized. In addition to the digital telex for Chengfei's development of Project 10, it is also matching the Tomcat.

The tomcat on the test bench is a real tomcat! It was the tomcat fighter for surveying and mapping provided by Pakistan!

Surveying and mapping requires dismantling into every part and completely imitating it. This major project was done by Xifei, who dreamed of building such a variable sweep wing fighter bomber.

However, with the power of West Flying, it only completed the surveying and mapping and telex system, and it was handed over to Cheng Fei. Just as the disassembled aircraft was assembled and pulled it to Cheng Fei. Cheng Fei installed the digital telex he developed on the control systems of each wing surface and directly mounted it on the test bench. (To be continued...)
