Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"As for air force equipment, we have S-14, and we are also developing a twin-engine heavy fighter S-15..."

The combined brigade is the army's equipment, but Colonel Ka came this time not only for the army.

He also wants the navy and the air force to build a strong Libyan army. At the same time, using the method of the foreign legion, let the experienced soldiers of the foreign legion lead their own Libyan soldiers to increase the combat effectiveness of the Libyan army.

The air force equipment also made Colonel Ka excited. Saxo Aviation's S-14 and S-15 fighters are both standard third-generation fighters, and they are not inferior to the fighters currently used by the US military.

In addition to fighters, China is also preparing to sell Libya early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, etc. to help Libya build a complete air force.

Once this system is built, the Libyan air force can even face the European and American air forces head-on.

Especially if these aircraft are equipped with China's advanced air-to-air missiles, they will definitely let the European and American air forces experience what it means to be sour and refreshing.

Xu Huasheng has already taken out the air-to-air missile technology in his mind, and China is digesting these technologies.

These technologies have directly caused China's air-to-air missiles to soar rapidly. The several air-to-air missiles that China is currently testing are all super powerful air-to-air missiles, which are directly behind Europe and the United States in terms of technology, and some missiles are even more than two generations behind.

After all, the missile technology that Xu Huasheng brought out is the technology of 2035, and now it is only 1994, with a gap of more than 40 years.

The generation gap in technology is quite terrible. Even the United States now uses only the third generation of air-to-air missiles.

However, most of the air-to-air missiles that China is currently testing are fourth generation air-to-air missiles, and there are several fifth generation air-to-air missiles.

At the same time, the air-to-air missiles that China is currently testing are mainly medium and long-range air-to-air missiles, and the main feature is beyond visual range attack.

In the room, Colonel Ka was also very happy. These equipments are good, and I like them all.

"Colonel, we have prepared another aircraft at the end."

After introducing the previous air force equipment, Xu Huasheng seemed a little mysterious.

Under Colonel Ka's curious eyes, Xu Huasheng clicked on a file.

After seeing the pictures inside, Colonel Ka was stunned.

"Xu, this is the J-7, right? No, no, no, this aircraft is too backward, we don't want it."

Colonel Ka said directly.

The picture Xu Huasheng opened was the J-7, which Colonel Ka was very familiar with, and many countries around the world were very familiar with it.

The J-7 was a copy of the MiG-21. These two aircraft were once star products in the world. Even now, many countries still have this aircraft. The Libyan Air Force now has this aircraft, so they are very familiar with the performance of this aircraft.

But Colonel Ka now looks down on this aircraft. This is a second-generation aircraft, which is too backward. Compared with S-14 and S-15, this aircraft is too backward and is simply a living target.

"No, no, no, Colonel, this is not an ordinary J-7. This aircraft is the J-7S, our latest improved version. We installed a new engine, a new radar, and a new information system for this aircraft..."

Xu Huasheng began to introduce this aircraft in detail to Colonel Ka.

The old horse is still in the stable, and this J-7S is the latest improved version.

Without changing the aerodynamic shape, a new engine was installed. This engine is developed by Saxo Aviation. This new engine has stronger power, better fuel economy, and longer life.

After replacing the new engine, Qi Ye's maximum speed directly reached Mach 2.2, the range reached 2,200 kilometers, and the bomb load was increased to 1.8 tons.

The radar was replaced with a machine-scanning radar developed by Huaguangdian, with a sounding distance of 63 kilometers, and can guide five targets at the same time.

The performance of this radar is comparable to the sounding distance of the US F15 radar. Of course, this is only the sounding capability, and other capabilities cannot be compared with the performance of the F15.

But what Qi Ye wants is the ability to detect space, because the modified Qi Ye can carry the fourth-generation or even the fifth-generation air-to-air missiles.

The fourth-generation air-to-air missiles have active radar guidance, which means that you don't have to worry about it after launching. The radar on the missile automatically searches for and tracks the target.

When Qi Ye encounters F15, as long as he finds him, he can turn around and run away by firing a missile at him. The medium-range air-to-air missile developed by China has a range of more than 150 kilometers. With such a missile, many functions on traditional fighters can actually be omitted.

At the same time, Qi Ye also has a data link system that can be interconnected with the data links of other fighters. The fourth-generation air-to-air missile has another ability, which is A-shooting B-guidance.

For example, the early warning aircraft discovered the opponent's fighterThe aircraft, Qi Ye did not find it. It doesn't matter. After Qi Ye launches the air-to-air missile, the AWACS will guide the missile to the direction of the enemy aircraft.

Of course, it is not just the AWACS, other fighters can also guide. For example, Libya's S-14 used its own active phased array radar to find the target, and the number of targets is relatively large. Then Qi Ye behind the S-14 can launch a missile, and the missile is guided by the S-14 to attack the enemy.

It is a very common way to match fighters.

"Mr. Colonel, it is the most cost-effective to match fighters. Although the comprehensive performance of the J-7 cannot be compared with the third-generation fighters, it can be matched with the third-generation fighters. What's more, as long as it does not match the advanced third-generation fighters in Europe and the United States, the J-7S can almost walk sideways in Africa. The most important thing is that we can transfer technology for the J-7S aircraft and sell production lines..."

When Xu Huasheng said this, Colonel Ka couldn't sit still.

"Xu, really? Can you really transfer technology? Can you really sell production lines?"

Colonel Ka was moved. Although the J-7S is not as good as the S-14, it still has its own advantages. As Xu Huasheng said, if it does not encounter those advanced third-generation aircraft in Europe and the United States, this aircraft can definitely walk sideways in Africa.

The radar is awesome, the performance is also very good, and the most important thing is that the missiles it carries can also be awesome.

And the price is relatively cheap, this thing is much cheaper than the S-14. If you produce it yourself, it will be even cheaper.

"Of course, we can transfer the overall technology and sell the production line at the same time. Of course, you may still need to import radars, data systems, and engines. But you can produce other things in Libya. If you produce it yourself, the comprehensive cost of an aircraft will not exceed 5 million US dollars, which is absolutely very cost-effective..."

As soon as Xu Huasheng said this, Colonel Ka couldn't sit still.

Damn, the production cost is less than 5 million US dollars, which is too cost-effective. The price of S-14 is already cheap enough, but it still needs 20 million US dollars. The French Mirage 2000 and the American F15 are more expensive. In comparison, the J-7S is simply a bargain.
