The north is still cold, it is the time when it is late spring, and in the south, the climate has become a bit stuffy. Chengdu, located in the Sichuan Basin, also began to get hot.

In Cheng Fei's office, senior engineers and leaders were sitting together, and everyone's face was very serious.

"The visit of the US President brought us the F-16 fighter jets." Tu Jida was still Cheng Fei's top leader at this time. He first said: "Shen Fei is very interested in this and wants to introduce a complete set of production lines to produce such fighter jets. Now, the funds given to us have been temporarily reduced to be invested in the F-16."

This is definitely bad news for Cheng Fei. With the No. 10 project, Cheng Fei can finally look up. Who knew that another basin of cold water was poured into the f-16!

This is a light fighter jet that has a great overlap with the No. 10 aircraft. If this project continues, there will be almost nothing we can do.

Mr. Song also looked serious and exhausted. He just came back from the capital and met leaders at all levels and hoped to apply for the next stage of the test flight fee, but all of them were rejected.

Could it be that this No. 10 Project will still die like the J-9? Why is the road to develop a fighter jet by yourself so tortuous? The officials of the Third Machinery Department would not use their brains to think about why the Americans suddenly launched this arms sales at this time? It is to suppress the development of their own fighter jets!

Mr. Song knew it well, but he had no choice. After all, the test flight of this fighter jet requires a lot of money to consume. All kinds of problems must be discovered in the sky. Every rise and fall is burning money.

Although Cheng Fei has its own channels, the subsequent test flight costs for Project No. 10 are still quite large, and it must be supported by the state.

"I see, we are all Cheng Fei, and we will write a petition, and everyone will write their names. Let's go to the capital to petition!" said an old engineer.

"Yes, Project No. 10 is about to succeed. You can't be wasted at this critical moment!"

"Yes, let's go to the capital together!"

People suddenly became excited.

Tu Jida shook his head: "No, if we do this, it will only make our superiors feel worse."

"Bang." At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Yang Wei, the chief engineer of flight control, ran in excitedly: "Good news, good news!"

"What news?" asked Mr. Song.

"I just communicated with Pakistan, and the other party said that if the funding given to us by the superiors is terminated, Pakistan can continue to provide funds until we have fully developed this fighter jet. Moreover, Pakistan intends to produce at least eighty of the same fighter jets in their country!"

Pakistan! At this time, the one who stood firmly behind Cheng Fei was still their good friend! When the No. 10 project was developed, there was help from Pakistan. Now, when the No. 10 project was facing the risk of miscarriage, Pakistan gave another reassurance. Which one is better, J-10 or F-16? Pakistan, which already has the F-16, needs to be equipped with the J-10 fighter jets!

The haze was swept away, and the excitement returned to everyone's face. Even Mr. Song's face was full of smiles and said, "That's great! We must successfully develop the J-10 and become a contributor!"

"However, Pakistan has provided us with another solution." Yang Wei continued: "In order to smash the American conspiracy, we can organize a confrontation exercise together! In the exercise, use our No. 10 aircraft to defeat the F-16! In this way, Mr. Deng will definitely support our No. 10 aircraft and the F-16 will not enter our military sequence again!"

After learning about Bush’s visit to China, Mhamad knew what was going on. The Americans wanted to curb the rise of Pakistan and China, especially in aviation technology! They had learned that Pakistan and China were jointly developing these advanced third-generation fighter jets. They had to try every means to suppress them!

Of course, Mhamad cannot let them succeed in this conspiracy of the United States. After all, in Mhamad's plan, Pakistan's heavy fighter jets are counterfeit Tomcats, while medium fighter jets are J-10! The maneuverability of this fighter jet exceeds that of the F-16! Moreover, it has completely independent intellectual property rights, and future improvements and optimizations can be carried out independently. The most important thing is that the United States does not know the various performances of this fighter jet!

Now, Americans want to make conspiracy, Mhamad immediately ordered contact with China, expressing Pakistan's position and firmly supports Cheng Fei! Now, the one who contacted Pakistan the most is Yang Wei, the chief designer of flight control, so they directly conveyed their opinions through Yang Wei.

When necessary, Pakistan can inject funds and jointly develop them, but it is not yet this step. One solution provided by Mhamad is to organize a confrontation exercise! In actual combat, the advanced performance of the No. 10 aircraft is confirmed!

Now, the test flight of No. 10 has been underway for almost half a year, and it is still a long time before the formal final test flight. In other words, it is only the most basic problem to solve. However, even so, the aircraft has shown strong maneuverability. The duck-style layout originally gave the fighter the agile nose to instantly pointing ability, which is simply impossible to compare with the f-16.

Another advantage they have is that they know the weaknesses of the F-16. Pakistan is also equipped with the F-16 fighter jets and knows all kinds of performances of the fighter jets. Therefore, using the advantages of the No. 10 aircraft to restrain the F-16 and let Mr. Deng know who is the fighter jet that is more suitable for the future Huaxia Sky!

In later generations, the strength of the J-10 and F-16 have always been a topic among military fans, with various emergences, and there are even rumors that China's fighter jets were conducting exercises with Ba Guo's F-16, but they were abused miserably.

However, the comparison in fact is definitely not a simple comparison of several data. The quality of the pilot and the use of various tactics will play an important role in combat. For example, the MiG-25 is best at high altitude and high speed, but in the battle between Iraq and multinational forces, it still carried out four beautiful snake-shaped maneuvers and then successfully entered the vision of American fighter jets.

Moreover, the f-16 is an evergreen of a military aircraft. It has been produced for decades in the future. More than 4,000 aircraft have been produced around the world. The models are gradually being improved. Now, it has reached the level of the blok50. It has been replaced with an engine with greater thrust and updated various electronic equipment. It may be difficult to fight with this type of fighter jet. However, the fighter jet exported to China this time by the United States is not this type of model, but the f-16/79! This type of aircraft uses a turbojet engine! It is simply a special fool. Now, the senior management of China does not know that this is a castrated version, and the third machine department and Shen Fei, who know the inside story, will not take the initiative to say these.

When everyone heard Yang Wei's words, their eyes lit up.

"Yes, as long as our No. 10 plane is on the field, we will definitely defeat the F-16!" Tu Jida said: "But our plane is still in the test flight stage. It is probably risky to use an aircraft in the test flight stage to fight."

Project No. 10 is progressing very quickly. Now there are four prototypes to conduct various flight tests. Among them, the No. 004 aircraft was modified in many aspects after exposing the problem on the test flight basis, especially the air intake duct. A bulge has appeared, which can greatly increase the high-speed capability of this fighter. This is a full-state aircraft, with a complete set of avionics equipment installed, including the pulse Doppler radar produced by China.

Even so, confrontation will still be full of risks. If the plane on the confrontation fails, it will lay the foundation for the F-16 to enter China!

"Yes, there are certain risks, but we must take this risk!" Mr. Song said: "The West is trying hard to obstruct our fighter development, and in our country, comprador bureaucracy is at work. We must use a clean and neat battle to smash their conspiracy!"

Mr. Song's hand hit the table heavily, and the water cups on the table were shocked. Everyone knows that although he usually looks harsh but kind-hearted, Mr. Song is already very angry at this time.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Tu, I have another idea." At this moment, Yang Wei, who was standing by, continued to speak: "In order to make our confrontation exercises complete, we should be able to communicate with Pakistan and use their f110 engine."

At this time, what morals are there? Shen Fei's people can move up and down, and even in order to introduce this kind of fighter, they don't even explain the engine to the superiors. What's the reason for it? The fighter jets tested now use the TF-41 engine, with the maximum afterburner thrust of 110 engine, while the F110 engine, with the maximum afterburner thrust, has reached 120,000 N! The increased thrust is enough to make the maneuverability of this fighter even better!

Hearing Yang Wei's words, Mr. Song's eyes became sharper and he looked at Yang Wei: "Are you confident?"

"Yes! We can complete the reintegration of the software within ten days. In terms of flight control, I can write a military order." Yang Wei replied.
Chapter completed!
