Chapter 1966 Seven years later, the red and blue confrontation is about to break out again

Seven years later.

The hinterland of Qilian Mountains.

Inside the 404 base aircraft assembly workshop.

The workshop is very empty, unlike the interior of other aircraft assembly workshops. There is only one fighter plane covered with military green tarpaulin, and there is no visible appearance.

The fighter planes were also isolated by simple fences, and were surrounded by fully armed soldiers.

Soon, the old man in his thirties walked in from outside with a young man with a bearded belly.

Under the order of the person in charge, several soldiers quickly uncovered all the tarpaulins covering the fighter jet.

It is still a double engine, with air intakes on both sides, and aerodynamic layout of large triangle wings.

Anyone who is familiar with the model of the domestic fighter can clearly tell the model of the fighter when seeing the appearance.

J-8.

The refueling pipe extending from one side of the aircraft's nose clearly told the people around that the aircraft has the ability to refuel in the air.

Unlike other J-8 series models, the new J-8, which appears in the eyes of everyone, has not improved much in appearance. A white knife-shaped antenna is added in front of the tail. The cannon position, which originally had the supply capacity, was replaced by a long oval pod.

The other hangers below the wings and belly are still carrying different types of missiles, large and small.

"In accordance with the performance indicators set by the troops and superiors, we installed the system's optical reconnaissance equipment in the cabin of the belly reconnaissance system. Not only do we have side-view visible light reconnaissance equipment and infrared cameras, but also on the midline hanger of the belly, we can also mount a synthetic aperture (SAR) side-view radar pod according to the task requirements, which can draw SAR images in real time. Even if the enemy command is underground, it has detection capabilities..."

As the chief designer, Yang Fengtian proudly introduced his works.

This is already a top-notch reconnaissance aircraft in the world.

And it is a high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.

Perhaps compared with the American SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft that can fly to a height of 30,000 and reconnaissance at a speed of Mach 3, the high altitude and high speed are much worse than the high speed, at least it is much stronger than the same type.

In seven years, their entire team has devoted their energy to it.

The troops' demand for reconnaissance aircraft is also very clear.

Xie Kai put forward a lot of opinions on this reconnaissance aircraft based on the J-8.

Now, after completing various basic experiments, this fighter jet is transported here to participate in the first large-scale exercise into the 21st century - the "Blue Storm" military exercise.

This was also seven years ago when the Blue Army showed super combat capabilities, and with one brigade, the three Red Army garrison divisions were unable to fight back. After the exercise was completed in just one day of attack, a large-scale red-blue confrontation exercise appeared again.

Seven years.

The Blue Army's equipment has been completely replaced.

The Red Army's troops participating in the exercise were also the aces from major military regions, and their combat effectiveness was almost equal to the former Blue Army.

After years of development, major military regions have not built special blue military brigades, but the troops have added a batch of equipment year by year, making the combat effectiveness of top equipment and sharp sword troops in major military regions much stronger than the former Blue Army.

In recent years, Shen Huoyi has devoted all his efforts to the J-16, which has a stronger comprehensive combat capability, in addition to a small number of domestic J-11 equipment troops.

At present, small-scale production has begun.

In the heart of the Qilian Mountains, the Blue Army was equipped with a whole squadron of J-16.

What is lacking is professional high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.

"Consultant Xie, what do you think of this? Can it meet the construction and development needs of the Blue Army?" After Yang Fengtian introduced, he saw Xie Kai looking at the plane they had put in countless efforts and kept silent. He couldn't help but ask nervously.

After more than 20 years of reform and opening up, the country's economy has grown significantly.

By the way, the troops receive a lot more military expenditure every year.

Xie Kai, a young man, has actually transformed into an advisor in charge of the Blue Army's logistics equipment.

What unit is the Blue Army?

The whetstone of the sharp knife troops of major military regions across the country.

This unit is completely different from the troops in the Pla combat sequence. After seven years of development, under the inclination of a large number of resources in the army, it has begun to develop in a more complex direction.

If the Blue Army doesn’t like ordinary equipment developed by major domestic military factories, the troops will basically not look down on it.

"What's the specific thing? You need to join the army first, then review it. The theoretical data, no matter how advanced it is, it will not work if it cannot play a role in the actual combat process..." Xie Kai sighed.

After graduating from graduate school six years ago, he couldn't do anything to want to stay in school anymore.

When Situ Lei and Xia Guofeng were deceived, they became the General Consultant of the Blue Army's Logistics Technology.

In such a position, Xie Kai is always careful.

Fortunately, with Xia Guofeng and Situ Lei and other veteran generals endorsing him, there was no other important work left to him, so Xie Kai's life was extremely nourishing.

"The troops have been preparing for this exercise for seven years, and I don't know if the Blue Army can defeat the Red Army's joint forces now. If you lose seven games in a row, you will be unable to bear the face. The head of the troops participating in the exercise has already shouted the slogan of liberating Qilian Mountains and capturing Xie Paipi alive."

Long Yaohua, whose hair was already gray, looked at Xie Kai with a smile on his face.

For him, I look forward to such a result.

When the others heard this, they looked at Xie Kai with a smirk on their faces.

Xie Kai was stunned, "The commander of the Blue Army is General Ye Fei, and the chief of staff is Tang Xin. How could he not capture me alive and do logistics."

Xie Kai really didn't expect something like this to happen.

"Aren't you robbing the equipment of each unit..." Li Mingshan said angrily.

This incident made them all embarrassed.

In recent years, the country's economic situation has improved and military expenditure has increased a lot.

Even if there is a growth, all troops urgently need to change their clothes.

The production capacity has not been improved, and the cost of various advanced equipment is very high, which makes the troops obtain very small amount of new equipment every year.

The Blue Army, whether it is because the 404 originally developed and produced a large number of advanced equipment, or other advanced equipment production units have cooperated with the 404, this allows Xie Kai, the Blue Army's logistics technology leader and development consultant to interfere with the ownership of these equipment.

The J-10 and J-16 that have been produced in small batches are given priority for combat experiments.

The only domestic air-efficient fighter jet such as the J-11 is the only one of the Su-27s. The Blue Army has no equipment.

The Blue Army is an attacking force, whether it is the Super-7B, the J-16, or the J-10, which not only has strong air control capabilities, but also has strong ground attack capabilities.

The only thing that is lacking is actually aerial reconnaissance aircraft with flexible capabilities.

Satellite reconnaissance needs to consider the return cycle, that is, the time issue for satellites to orbit the earth and return to the reconnaissance area again. At present, the global satellite network has not been completed, and synchronous orbit satellites, due to domestic optical technology and satellite channels, still cannot solve the technical problem of uninterrupted focus on the domestic area.

Drones have been in the technical field of 404's key development in recent years, and the results are also very brilliant. However, drones have a big problem, and their endurance has not been effectively solved. At the same time, the drone reconnaissance aircraft developed by 404 are slow in speed and have no self-defense capabilities. They can only be used for reconnaissance where the distance is not too far.

The Blue Army's reconnaissance system requires tactical reconnaissance aircraft that can make up for the defects of satellites and drones.

As for strategic reconnaissance aircraft, all the technologies related to ep-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft salvaged at sea were digested, and some of the missing technologies were also jointly developed by various units to develop alternative technical systems, and at the same time, some functions needed by the country were added.

Performance, in some ways, almost surpasses ep-3.

The J-8 is to fill the last gap in the Blue Army's reconnaissance system.

After carrying three elite divisions of the Red Army in a brigade of the Blue Army, Shen Huoyi's people were worried that the troops would put forward various new opinions on the equipment they developed due to construction and other directions, so they went directly to the 404 base to find Xie Kai to understand the needs of the Blue Army, and directly develop a new generation of technical equipment based on the needs of the Blue Army.

This is how J-8 comes from.

Similarly, because the J-8 is much larger than the J-7, the possibility of transformation has increased a lot.

In order to improve the performance of the J-8, under Xie Kai's suggestion, Shen Huoyi also made a lot of modifications. Due to technical basic problems, he has not yet reached the level of the J-8iiii, but it is much more advanced than the J-8iii that was being tested seven years ago.

"Consultant Xie, look at how to provide our J-8iii with the Blue Air Force to test?" Yang Fengtian caught an opportunity at the door of the workshop and asked Xie Kai directly, "After improving over the past few years, a lot of test flight work has been done, and the entire Shenfei has invested a lot in this project..."

His meaning is very obvious.

I hope the Blue Army will be equipped with several J-8iiig fighter jets.

This is the latest modified model of the J-8.

Whether it is the Air Force or the Navy, the requirements are far higher than before, and they are not equipped with all the equipment that can barely be used because they have no choice.

All troops and various equipment use needs are basically based on the Blue Army's experiments.

"Mr. Yang, you know, the Blue Army originally undertakes our equipment combat experiments and feedbacks various problems to the research team to modify them. Before the finalization, the R&D unit bears the cost of these equipment..." Xie Kai looked calm.

At this time, neither Situ Lei nor Long Yaohua nor others said anything.

Because of the existence of the Blue Army, the procurement of military equipment has now undergone a very big change - first try, then decide whether to purchase and the quantity of procurement based on the trial situation, or put forward improvement suggestions again, and wait for the R&D unit to improve, and the troops will re-purchase.

Although Xie Kai did not have much real power, just because the Blue Army's equipment would be based on his suggestions, this also affected the development of military science and technology of the entire country and the development direction of the troops.

Shen Hoy's fighter jet is not tried by the Blue Army, and even if the Navy Air Force is tried by the Navy, the effect it can produce will not be too great.
