The use of medium-range bombs for air combat beyond visual range will definitely be a major style in the future!
However, until now, China's most advanced self-made J-8 is only capable of short-range air combat. The nose of the J-8 is the same as that of the J-7, and it also has nose air intake. They are improving it.
If Chengfei can obtain investment from Iraq and develop a new type of J-7 fighter, it will definitely be a sharp sword over the motherland!
Tu Keda has secretly made up his mind. After returning home, he must do his best to get his superiors to pass the proposal of His Excellency Qusay. Iraq will pay for it, Chengfei will provide technology, and the two will jointly develop it.
Afraid of Iraq investing in technology?You know, Iraq even bought the f-20 production line. Technically, they are much more advanced than their own.
None of the Chinese delegations who came to Iraq were willing to give up the opportunity. They mingled in the Basra Air Force Base day and night, studying hard.
Moreover, they feel more and more that the Iraqi air force is not as weak as the outside world says. It is bold and skilled. It is clearly an elite force. They were still able to give it a go.
Thinking of that border conflict three years ago, when the army fought bravely, where was the air force?And here, they already feel that in future wars, the air force will definitely be the protagonist!
"I think that our fighter planes must be equipped with this kind of sophisticated inertial navigation. Whether it is autonomous navigation or ground bombing, it is very important to have an inertial navigation device. Unfortunately, this thing is too precise, and the people here Don't let us take it apart." A voice said.
Tu Jida looked up, and it was the idiot boy who proposed to watch the f-20 during the meeting last time: "Xiao Dangsheng, what are you talking about?"
"I mean..." He was about to speak when he was suddenly disturbed by a huge roar above his head.
This roar...Xiao Dangsheng suddenly became aware that it was not from the turbojet engine, but from the turbofan engine!
Until now, the Iraqi Air Force still has no fighter jets equipped with turbofan engines, unless…
Xiao Dangsheng put down the instrument in his hand and ran out of the hangar.
"This idiot." Tu Jida shook his head. This idiot is actually the person he valued the most. He has deep knowledge in the avionics system and can understand everything.
Suddenly, he found that other people in the hangar also ran to the outside of the hangar, as if there was some activity.
"Tu Lao, the new fighter jet of the Iraqi Air Force, the f-20 has arrived, let's go and have a look." One person said.
Tu Jida looked up and saw that it was Mr. Liang.
f-20 arrived?This is the first time I have seen an American-made aircraft!Tu Jida was also moved, no wonder Xiao Dangsheng ran so fast just now.
As soon as he got out of the hangar, he saw the landing plane at the end of the runway.
With a pointed nose and a huge vertical tail, it looks like an F-5 fighter that is one size bigger.
Sure enough, it was an Iraqi f-20.
As soon as the rear wheels of the fighter plane touched the ground, the parachute was released. They were used to seeing this. The Iraqi fighter jets had very short takeoff and roll distances, and they also saw some tricks from it.
At this time, there were already two rows of soldiers standing guard on both sides of the runway. These people from China could only watch from a distance.
However, this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm. They cheered vigorously, as if it was their own.
Standing at the end of the runway, Zhang Feng did not expect that the fighter planes would come back so soon. It was like a dream. From now on, he would no longer have to worry about not having enough advanced fighter jets.
There are four planes in total. These are the four low-speed pre-production planes of Northrop. The so-called low-speed pre-production planes mean that there may still be a small number of defects. , and then transferred to formal production.
Moreover, at this time, General Dynamics has only realized the preliminary functions of the radar. Among the main air-to-air functions, the method of tracking and scanning is also flawed, and the ability to attack the ground is not yet available.
In other words, these four fighters currently only have limited air-to-air capabilities.
However, everything is temporary, and these four aircraft can be upgraded after the arrival of the latter batch of aircraft.
Batch production is also a common practice in international military aircraft production.
The range of the fighter plane is not enough, so it did not fly directly from the United States, but was transported in a C-130 transport plane.And because Iraq was still at war with Iran at this time, in order to avoid damage, it was first airlifted to Riyadh, then the wings were assembled, and then flew to the Basra military region.
The random parts, the maintenance personnel sent to study in Iraq, and the technical assistance personnel sent by Northrop all changed vehicles in Riyadh and arrived a day later.
After the first two planes landed, they slid slowly to the tarmac, and the canopy was opened. They were not Iraqi pilots, but two foreigners.
Darrell stood on the cockpit, took off his helmet, and wanted to shout his own words to the crowd below: "Hello, my friends!"
Before he could open his mouth, he heard another loud roar coming from above his head.
A wave of air came over and ruined his blonde hair.
"**you! mra!" Daller yelled, but the camera below caught his expression.
The second batch of two f-20s also began to land.

Adnan opened the cockpit and quickly stepped off the plane.
He was very happy to see His Excellency Qusay among the crowd waiting on the ground. He has been away from Iraq for almost half a year, and he has always wanted to come back and fight side by side with his comrades!
Now, it can finally be realized, and I have brought back this advanced fighter, which is more advanced than Mirage F1, and can completely defend Iraq's airspace!
"Your Excellency Qusay! Air Force Lieutenant Adnan, complete the mission you assigned and return from studying in the United States! Our Tiger Shark fighter jet can definitely become an eagle in our sky in the future!" Adnan said happily.
Unexpectedly, Your Excellency Qusay was not happy. He stared at Adnan and said, "Who told you to fly at low altitude and high speed? Look at this American guest!"
As soon as Adnan turned his head, he saw the bullish test pilot Darrell glaring at him.
"I'm sorry!" Adnan said quickly.
Back to his homeland just now, Adnan was a little too excited.
"Where are the rest?" Zhang Feng saw that there were only wingman pilots, and there were a total of four people sent this time.
"They came back by road." Adnan said: "In order to avoid accidents, this time we used American pilots to fly the first two sorties, but the remaining two of our pilots can also fly."
Zhang Feng nodded. The purpose of sending people to the United States at the beginning was to form combat power as soon as possible.
"Everyone went to the Baghdad hotel to greet friends who came from afar," Zhang Feng said.
Darrell got off the plane and got into the car with another American pilot, following the people who came to meet him.
Four f-20s, pulled by the tractor, slowly drove towards the hangar.
"If only we could go up and take a look." Xiao Dangsheng said.
"Go back to work, you can't become fat if you eat one bite." Tu Jida knew that now was not the time.

In the South Atlantic Ocean, sixteen SBS members of the British army first took a submarine and then changed to a rubber boat to sneak into Rio, the mainland of Argentina?The Gallegos Air Force Base blew up 8 "Super Flags" of the Argentine Army in one fell swoop. There were only 14 of them in total, which greatly weakened the Argentine Air Force's ability to attack the sea.
