Chapter 610 Looks like it's very powerful
This answer made Hamid, who was standing by, nodded. It was just that he came here to buy Tomcat fighter jets. As a result, he was not fully considered and shouldn't have purchased the same type of fighter jet as the Iranians, nor did he have advanced Immortal missiles to use.
Unexpectedly, Mhamad shook his head: "No, the victory in our air combat is not only due to Tomcat fighters, but more importantly, it is through electronic technology and advanced Western electronic technology."
"The radar of Tomcat fighter jets can find targets a hundred kilometers away. Every time we fight, we have the assistance of early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft. Modern air combat and electronic technology have become the key to victory. Even the Soviet Su-27 fighter jets will be interfered by us in air combat. Their radar has weak anti-jamming ability. Every time they take off, they are almost deaf and blind. The missiles they launch can be interfered by us." Mhamad finished speaking in one breath and concluded: "Modern air combat, fighter platform is very important, but electronic systems are even more important! The Soviets have always been intoxicated by the circuit of vacuum tubes, which has led to their huge electronic system, large energy consumption, and small performance, like the MiG-25. Although the power of the radar is quite high, it is said that it can burn through rabbits, but the performance of the radar is quite limited, and there is not even a synthetic aperture mode to the ground."
Iraq has always used Soviet equipment mainly, and MiG-25 and they also owned it. So, they knew that Mhamad was absolutely right. Iraq also has legal fighter jets. Once you compare it, you can find that the legal radar system is more advanced than the Soviet ones. It is useless to have large power, complete functions and high performance.
However, what does this have to do with the model in front of you?
"Electronic technology is constantly improving. The more developed the aircraft, the easier it is to use more advanced electronic technologies." Mhamad said: "For example, our self-developed third-generation aircraft uses the LCD screen display method. The entire cockpit is quite simple. The radar is the latest model we developed by ourselves, with low energy consumption. Advanced performance, with various forms such as air, ground, Doppler and single pulse, especially the synthetic aperture mode of the ground and enhance the ground attack capability. Our flight control and fire control are cross-linked, making operation more convenient and fast. We use the 1553b data bus technology to integrate various airborne equipment and improve performance. The comprehensive combat capability of our fighter is definitely greater than that of the F-16 fighter, and can reach 80% of the Tomcat fighter." Mhamad said.
A series of technical language surprised the engineers on the side, Mr. President. How can you really brag? You can cross-link flight control and fire control? It also reaches 80% of the Tomcat fighter? The purpose of development at that time was to achieve 80% of the performance of the F-16 fighter.
"Where is that twenty percent difference?" Hamid asked.
"Long-range air combat, our fighter jets cannot guide ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles like the Immortal Bird." Mhamad said: "In addition to long-range interception, our fighter jets have excellent performance and close-range combat, and they are not inferior to close-range combat with Tomcat fighters."
Mhamad's words fooled Saddam, which is indeed the case. The progress of electronic technology is changing with each passing day. Although Pakistan has only developed this fighter, it will definitely be more advanced than existing fighter jets after a few years. Although those terms have not been heard of, they sound very powerful.
"Let's go and take you to see our cabin simulation." Mhamad continued.
Cabin simulation? The engineers on the side were a little stunned. In fact, Pakistan also sent a group of engineers to assist in the development of the JF-17 fighter jet. However, they were all developed in Chengfei. Here, there is actually just such a model. Besides, this fighter jet has just made a wooden prototype. Where did the cabin simulator come from?
However, since the president said there must be, there must be! Seeing the president bringing these people out, the engineer suddenly thought that the president asked them to see should be the J-10 cabin simulator!
Since Pakistan and China have maintained good relations, cooperation between the two sides has been widely carried out in the military industry. Therefore, although China's strictly confidential J-10 fighter jets are not a secret to Pakistan. Moreover, in order to develop the cockpit of the new Tomcat fighter jet, Pakistan has introduced a set of J-10 fighter jet cabin simulators.
Although the rear fuselage of J-10 and J-11 are completely different, the first half is almost the same, both the front fuselage of the F-16, and the cabin simulator is only in the first half, so even an expert engineer can never see any flaws!
President Mhamad is really amazing! The engineer's eyes were full of admiration, so he quickly ran to the front to lead the way.
In another laboratory, a model was staying there quietly, with only one machine head, and behind it were various wire harnesses, connected to a computer on the other end.
Air Force Commander Hamid, who was a pilot, flew through various aircraft. He first stepped on the steps and looked into the cockpit.
In front of the ejection seat is the instrument panel, which is quite simple inside! There are almost no instruments, and all of them are replaced by three LCD monitors. Due to the reduction of the instrument, the front view has become wider.
"Our new fighter uses the latest electronic technology achievements, using a glass cockpit, a layout of one level and three levels." The engineer knew his responsibilities and immediately explained: "One level refers to a flat display, which can be seen in a straight line. This displays the most useful information in air combat. In air combat, the pilot reads the information displayed on the flat display at the fastest speed and can win the initiative in the fierce battle. The three levels refer to the following three multi-function LCD monitors, which display fire control, radar, electronic map, flight attitude and other information, and you need to look down to see it. Such a display is much better than looking at those discrete instruments. Our cockpit is even more advanced than the European cockpit and has reached the synchronization with the technology of the United States."
Hamid was very excited to see this thing. It was indeed science fiction! If he hadn't seen it, he would never dare to think about it. Technology has developed to such a level!
The moment I was watching, the cockpit had been powered up, and various screens were lit up. After the self-test, various information began to be displayed.
Hamid looked very seriously. Although he actually didn't know what was above, he seemed to be very powerful.
"The advancement of electronic technology will make pilots' driving easier, and this is clearly displayed. The pilot can tell the situation with just a glance, so that the pilot can concentrate all his energy to deal with air combat." Mhamad said on the side: "The cockpit of this fighter is much more advanced than our current Tomcat fighter."
This science fiction cockpit conquered Hamid and Saddam's heart. Seeing Hamid come down, Saddam also sat in. Ask this and that, he also moved the operating lever, as if he could fly a plane.
"We can consider importing this fighter jet." From above, Saddam said: "However, we need to see the actual aircraft."
Although he was deceived, the major event of introducing the main fighter aircraft of the Air Force cannot be decided rashly. Saddam now only tends to purchase. However, after all, the research and development has not been completed.
After hearing Saddam's words, Mhamad knew that his efforts today were not in vain. Now they were already moved. If they fooled them a few more times, they might really be able to import a batch.
Anyway, this aircraft was originally developed for export, and Iraq imported a batch, which was a good start.
"We were so surprised by Pakistan's technological capabilities," Saddam said. "We are very happy to see that our Pakistani friends have reached the forefront of the world in many fields. In addition to aviation, your aerospace aspect is also making rapid progress."
After re-entering a conference room, only heavyweights were present on both sides, Saddam sighed.
In terms of space! Pakistan has been exploring the space field and launched another rocket last year. It is already a second-stage rocket. Although it has not yet achieved the ability to launch satellites, it is constantly improving after all.
Now, after hearing Saddam say this, Mhamad knew that Saddam had something in his words.
"Now that national strength allows us, Pakistan wants to explore the vast space." Mhamad said: "We are preparing to conduct two more tests this year and send the first satellite we developed into space."
"We in Iraq also have some sounding rockets," Saddam said. "It's a pity that the performance is too poor, especially the guidance performance. I wonder if our Pakistani friends are interested in helping us transform it."
Iraq's sounding rocket? Saddam really knows how to change the name! Mhamad thought to himself and said tentatively: "Is it a Hussein-type sounding rocket?"
The Iraq-Iraq War came to an end in the battle between the two sides attacked the city, and the weapon at that time was the Scud missile. This Soviet liquid missile had been replaced by more advanced missiles and began to spread to Warsaw Pact countries.
In 1973, Egypt and Syria had already used the "Scud" missiles introduced from the Soviet Union to attack Israeli deep targets.
Although there was no result at that time, Saddam saw the power of ballistic missiles. In 1974, Iraq purchased about 20 to 36 9p117 missile launchers and unknown number of "Scud" missiles from the Soviet Union and formed the 224th Missile Brigade.
After several years of attack on the Iranian quarrel, the two sides finally used the Scud missiles and began to fight each other. Iran's Scud missiles were obtained from Libya.
As a result, in this contest, Saddam was very depressed. Iraq's strategic depth and range of 300 kilometers could attack from the border to the Iraqi capital Baghdad, but could not attack from the border to the Iranian capital Tehran.
In anger, Saddam asked the Soviet Union to provide it with missiles with a longer range, but Moscow ignored it. So, Iraqi engineers fully utilized their creativity to break up and reorganize the three Scuds, one of which was disassembled, loaded the fuel tank on other missiles, added fuel, assembled two new missiles, named Hussein missiles.
The propellant of the Hussein missile increased by 1,040 kilograms, while the warhead reduced from 800 kilograms to 190 kilograms. In this way, the range reached 600 kilometers. However, the hit accuracy of this missile is worse than that of the prototype Scud, and many missiles shot to Tehran do not know where they flew.
According to the Iranians, the circumference of this missile is at least 1,500 meters! If it is a nuclear warhead, such an error is acceptable, but the ballistic missile of a conventional warhead is only a missile with a range of 600 kilometers. This error is too high!
Pakistan has developed defense technology and has made rapid progress in aerospace. If the second-stage rocket is converted into a ballistic missile, it can reach at least 5,000 kilometers away! Even Saddam would not believe it if Pakistan did not develop ballistic missiles.
Chapter completed!
