Chapter 633: Indian Air Force Moves

In general.

The Pakistan Air Force is very satisfied with the performance of the J-10C Raptor.

There is also a strong desire to purchase this aircraft.

But the arms trade is not like buying and selling cabbages.

Especially when it comes to large-scale arms trade, such as fighter jets, where the unit price can easily be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, one must be extremely cautious.

And if only 'money' was involved.

That's easy to say.

As long as both the buyer and the seller are willing to trade, they can reach an agreement on the price no matter what.

pity.

The arms trade has never been a market economic behavior, but a political behavior.

Therefore, although the top brass of the Pakistani Air Force were very fond of this fighter jet, the University of the East was also very sincere and not only gave Pakistan the lowest price, but also provided a loan.

But Pakistan still appears hesitant.

Let me put it bluntly.

It was the pro-American faction in the country who were trying to sabotage the deal.

So wait until Pakistan actually makes a decision.

It will take some time.

The final decision will have to wait until the outcome of the internal bargaining in Pakistan is announced.

The next week.

Jiang Chen and his friends also lived a very fulfilling life.

Because Pakistan had dispatched several flying squadrons and let Jiang Chen and others serve as the whetstone, they had to conduct actual combat simulation confrontation exercises almost every day.

The squadrons deployed by Pakistan include both F-16C/D fighters, J-7, and Xiaolong fighters.

However, in every live-fire confrontation exercise, Pakistan ended up in a miserable defeat.

This is not because the Pakistani pilots are too bad.

Quite the opposite.

Even Jiang Chen, who has always been unruly and unyielding, has been full of admiration for the Pakistani Air Force pilots during this period.

It was just as Li Daquan said.

Pakistani Air Force pilots do have a spirit of not admitting defeat and not fearing death.

Not only is he not afraid of death, he also has rich technical, tactical and practical experience.

So if equipped with the same fighter.

Jiang Chen can only fight 1vs1 at best. If it's 1vs2 or more, he won't be sure of winning.

time flies.

This is the thirteenth day since they arrived in Pakistan.

In two or three days.

They will set sail again, leaving Peshawar and flying to Dubai to attend the biennial Dubai Air Show.

Bang!

Jiang Chen had just opened the door of the flight briefing room when he couldn't wait to unzip his flight suit and complained, "The cockpit is like a steamer in this weather. I'm almost melting from the heat."

"Why is Pakistan so hot? I haven't seen a drop of rain in such a long time. The temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius every day."

"If it keeps getting this hot, won't it kill people?"

Li Daquan took the flight helmet from him and said, "Have you not read the news? In Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh in the South Asian subcontinent, thousands of people die from heat stroke every summer. Especially in India, the number of people who die from heat stroke every year is at least two to three thousand."

"You say this place is hot as hell, but why do the three countries have such large populations? The South Asian subcontinent is not as large as our country, but the total population is almost 2 billion."

Li Daquan shrugged and said, "Who knows? It seems that the population in tropical regions is larger than that in temperate and frigid regions."

"Stop talking bullshit."

Huang Zhiguo pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "I've been waiting for you. Let's have a small meeting to review today's live-fire confrontation exercise."

Jiang Chen came over and sat down. He muttered, "What's there to review? We just relied on our more advanced equipment to crush them, but we didn't use the necessary skills and tactics."

"You're the only one who talks too much nonsense. Advanced equipment is also a kind of technical and tactical technique." Huang Zhiguo said unhappily.

"The Pakistani Air Force is a very good opponent. Although we have only two J-10C Raptors in our small fleet, we still need to summarize what needs to be summarized and submit it when we return home. Perhaps it will be of some help to our friendly forces that have already been equipped with the J-10C Raptors."

"Now the J-10C Raptor has been put into service on a small scale. Friendly forces equipped with this aircraft are still exploring the tactical methods of this aircraft. With our summary, friendly forces can avoid some detours."

"Actually, I think~~~" Jiang Chen glanced at Huang Zhiguo, and then continued, "The J-10C Raptor may not necessarily be put into service on a large scale, at most two or three hundred sorties. Because the strategic mission of our Air Force has changed. In the past, it was a national defense air force, mainly defensive. But in recent years, the emphasis has been on offense, breaking through the three island chains."

"So apart from the 'Pomegranate Sister', I think the J-11B is more useful than the J-10C Raptor."

"The Pomegranate Sister also officially entered service this year. In the next 20 to years, the J- and the Pomegranate Sister will definitely be the backbone."

He said it plausibly.

Huang Zhiguo frowned slightly.

Want to refute.

But he kept his mouth shut.

Wang Jiayuan immediately retorted, "I'm not as optimistic as you say. The cost of the Pomegranate Sister is almost catching up with the Mighty Dragon. One Pomegranate Sister is equivalent to several J-10C Raptors. Although our lives have been a little better in recent years, we can't waste military funds like you do."

"The navy has been producing more and more troops every year, and the old Lu also needs to be replaced, so the share of the pie that our air force can get is not as much as you think."

Jiang Chen blurted out, "What else does Old Lu need to upgrade? Just give them a few pairs of rubber shoes."

Pfft~~~
The others couldn't help themselves for a moment.

He burst out laughing.

Xie Mingwei pointed at Jiang Chen and cursed, "If Old Lu heard this, he would kill you."

"And our opponents are not just the Americans, South Korea and the Japanese."

"Let me ask you, facing those small countries in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Central Asia, no matter what our relationship is, do we also need to keep an eye on them? You wouldn't be so extravagant as to use the J-20 Vily Dragon and the 'Pomegranate Sister', would you?"

"The J-10C Raptor is not considered strong in the Chinese air force, but looking at the world, a flight squadron equipped with the J-10C Raptor can destroy the air forces of more than % of countries even without the support of early warning aircraft."

"Coupled with the low cost of using and maintaining a single-engine fighter, the J-10 Raptor is of great value in homeland defense, combat readiness patrols, and daily training."

"Especially in daily training, the commanders don't care how the J-10 flies or how hard it tries. If you don't fly at supersonic speeds or perform some ultra-high-load maneuvers after takeoff, you'll be kicked out. But if you try to play with heavy aircraft, you'll be finished if the military commander doesn't respect you."

"Single-engine fighter jets are still the mainstay of international military aircraft exports, and the US F-16 is one of the best."

"If our own air force does not use the J-10C Raptor, how can we have the confidence to sell it to other countries' air forces?"
Several other people talked about it at once.

Jiang Chen was so shocked that he could hardly lift his head.

Oh shit.

Isn't it just saying that single-engine medium-sized aircraft are not as useful as heavy aircraft?

You guys have made me like this.

As for?
"Alright alright~~~"

Huang Zhiguo raised his hand.

He stopped them, "Stop talking. I asked you to come to a review meeting, not a criticism meeting."

"That's right." Jiang Chen immediately chimed in, "Look at you guys, you're treating me like a class enemy."

"Just shut up." Huang Zhiguo's face was full of helplessness. "I used to think you were a taciturn person with a stern face every day. People who didn't know you would think you were bullied by us. Now I know that you talk so much, just like a chatterbox."

"Now shut up and start the meeting."

As expected, the others all shut up.

But before Huang Zhiguo could continue speaking.

Bang~~~
The door to the flight briefing room was suddenly pushed open.

Then a Pakistani Air Force captain rushed in and said to several people anxiously, "Sir, there is an unusual movement in the Indian Air Force. Chief of Staff Ahmed asks you to go to the tower."

Huang Zhiguo and others looked at each other.

He stood up immediately.

They all walked out the door.
