You were asked to repeat your senior year of high school, and you took advantage of the opportunity

Chapter 551 Test flight of the J-20 Vily Dragon?

'Yaodongdong' base.

Jiang Chen just jumped out of the plane cabin.

I saw a smaller fighter jet parked not far away, which looked somewhat similar to the J-7.

Moreover, this fighter jet is not painted in the silver-gray color commonly used by the East China University of Technology Air Force, nor is it painted in the yellow color of the experimental model.

It's camouflage paint.

He walked over with the flight helmet.

He bumped into a pilot standing next to the light fighter and asked, "Hey, where did this Xiaolong come from?"

The pilot came to his senses.

Looking at Jiang Chen, he shrugged and said, "Where did it come from? Of course it was sent by Cheng Fei."

"It's the JF-3, right?" Jiang Chen's attention was completely attracted by the FC-1 JF- fighter.

He asked while looking him up and down.

The test pilot standing next to him nodded and said, "You are quite perceptive. You actually knew it was the JF-3-."

"I'm not blind."

Jiang Chen stretched his hand over his head.

Standing on tiptoe, he patted the nose of the aircraft and said, "The radar dome of the JF-1 is so small. I met a few researchers from Chengfei some time ago. They told me that Pakistan was not very satisfied with the JF-1 and JF-2 in the past two years and asked Chengfei to make major changes to the JF-1. The radar dome of this aircraft is obviously larger than that of the JF-2 and JF-3, so I guess a new airborne radar must have been stuffed inside. So I guess this prototype should be the latest model of the JF-, the JF-."

The JF-17 is a light fighter jet developed jointly by Chengfei with technical support and Pakistan providing funding.

As early as the 1990s.

Pakistan has already proposed cooperation needs to Chengfei.

So the two sides officially cooperated in 1998.

Then 5 years later.

That is January 2003, 8.

The first JF-17 fighter jet made a successful maiden flight.

The project was originally codenamed 'Super Seven' and Pakistan called it JF-17 Thunder.

The initial plan was to improve the research and development based on the J-7.

But later it became more and more magical.

Change to the end.

Apart from the similarity in appearance, it has nothing to do with "Seventh Master" in other aspects.

The JF-2007 fighter jet was delivered to Pakistan for service as early as , and many third world countries are also interested in this cost-effective fighter jet.

However, the JF-1 has major flaws in its avionics system, bomb load, and fire control radar.

So based on Party A's requirements.

Chengfei continues to make improvements to the JF-17.

Just a few years later.

The JF-2 successfully completed its maiden flight and was smoothly delivered to Pakistan.

In the second half of last year, the first prototype of the JF-3 was developed.

It will take at most one or two years of test flights and verification.

The JF-3 - can also be mass-produced.

Although the Dongda Air Force did not participate in the "JF-17" project, the project is currently a business card for Dongda's foreign arms sales, so the test flight squadron also participated in the research and development and test flight of the project.

This is why a JF-3 prototype appeared on the tarmac.

The JF-17 is a light fighter.

Empty weight eight tons.

Normal take-off weight is nine tons.

Maximum take-off weight is 13.5 tons.

Maximum Mach 1.6.

The maximum combat radius with auxiliary fuel tanks is 1200 kilometers.

For the Air Force of Dongda University, the JF-17 is indeed like a piece of chicken ribs.

But for some small countries.

The JF-17 is more than sufficient in terms of range and payload.

Especially the Xiaolong-3.
A light fighter is actually equipped with a KLJ-7A airborne active phased array radar, and also uses some of the avionics equipment used by the J-20 Vily.

Even the aerodynamic layout has been changed to increase stealth performance.

In addition, the JF-3 has eight weapon attachment points, which can carry out air, ground and sea attacks.

It can even carry a variety of medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles.

Such a "perfect" fighter jet is priced at only 30 to 40 million US dollars.

If political factors are excluded.

Wouldn’t those small countries be scrambling for the goods?

pity.

Arms sales abroad are always political first and military second.

Those countries would rather buy the neutered F-16, which even needs the American signature to mount short-range air-to-air missiles, and cannot buy the Xiaolong-3.
You dare to imagine.

Every time the Korean Air Force flies the F-35 Lightning that it bought with its own money, it needs the Americans to remotely unlock it and get the key before it can be successfully started.

In other words.

If Americans want to do something bad.

After the Korean took off in the F-35, he locked onto the plane again.

Then the F-35 piloted by the Korean will fall from the sky like a big piece of iron.

But even so.

The Koreans still enjoyed it.

Why is Bangzi still so happy?
Because there is no choice for the stick.

After circling around the JF-3.

Jiang Chen then returned to Liu Jiarong's side.

He asked, "Has this JF-17 just been delivered today? Have you flown it? How did you feel about it?"

"We returned to the base just after you." Liu Jiarong said, "We will fly another circle later to test the avionics system."

"Well, it flies OK, but it's still far behind the J-10 Raptor."

"Nonsense." Jiang Chen said unhappily, "Why don't you say that it's far inferior to the J-20. A light aircraft and a medium aircraft, and the light aircraft is a stepmother, how can the two be compared?"

"I have finished flying today. If you are tired later, I can help you fly a circle." Jiang Chen said again.

"How about you help me fly, and I help you fly." Liu Jiarong rubbed his hands and said, "Let me also feel the charm of the fifth-generation aircraft."

"Go ahead." Jiang Chen raised his chin, "As long as Shen Fei agrees, I will agree one hundred percent."

"Get lost." Liu Jiarong raised his foot to kick. "So you can't make the decision, kid. If you can't make the decision, what are you talking about?"

"I dodged." Jiang Chen dodged.

Just when the two were chatting.

A tractor slowly towed a J-20 Vily Dragon out of a hangar in the distance.

The two people's attention was instantly attracted by the J-20.

Until the plane was towed to the front.

It took the two of them to come to their senses.

Liu Jiarong sighed, "Damn, we're going to fly the J-20 today, and I don't know if the test pilot is Deng Fei. Now that you're not competing with him, he's simply outclassed us all."

Jiang Chen's expression was solemn.

Because he knew what it meant for the test flight squadron to test fly the J-20 Vily Dragon today.

This means that my "fishing" over the past few days has had no effect at all.

This means that the base’s top brass feels that the potential danger has been eliminated.

We can now test-fly the J-20 with confidence.

but.

Has the potential threat really been eliminated?
It's only been over a week.

Is it too risky?
Think of this.

Jiang Chen stopped chatting with Liu Jiarong.

Instead, he took his flight helmet and hurried towards the flight briefing room not far away.

But if Jiang Chen knew that the opponent's target was no longer the J-20, but that he was flying the FC-31 Falcon.

Do you feel that you are overly pessimistic?
