Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Chapter 517: Mass Production of Fighters: Fighters with Terrifying Combat Power

"Everyone, today is a good day for our Air Force..."

Cheng Fei, an old man wearing an Air Force uniform, had a rosy face and even a trace of tears in his eyes.

Today is a good day, indeed a good day.

Because today, the J-10 fighter jet has officially entered mass production. This speed is much faster than previously expected.

The delivery time was a full ten years earlier than in the original time and space.

In addition to being ten years earlier, the current combat performance of the J-10 is even more terrifying, even more terrifying than the J-10 C version in the original time and space.

Because when designing this fighter jet, many things were taken into consideration. In other words, the foundation of the new J-10 is much stronger than that of the original J-10.

This foundation is much stronger than the American F16, with strong engine power, strong mounting capacity, awesome radar, awesome electronic system, and even the helmet is very awesome.

Many of the technologies on this fighter jet were developed by Xu Huasheng.

For example, vector engines, active phased array radars, digital cockpits, advanced combat helmets, advanced electronic warfare suites, etc.

All of these things combined create this killer weapon.

Now this fighter has finally been finalized and mass-produced. The mass-produced J-10 fighter is still a little monster in terms of performance, let alone in this era, even thirty years later.

The maximum speed is 2376 kilometers per hour, the practical ceiling is 21324 meters, the range is 4676 kilometers, the bomb load is 9700 kilograms, and it has 12 weapon hardpoints.

The radar uses active phased array radar, or directly mounted gallium nitride technology, with 2876 TR components, an air detection range of 410 kilometers, and can track 12 targets at the same time.

For a fighter jet, if the radar performance is doubled, the overall combat effectiveness will be increased five times. Compared with the current radar on the F16, the current radar of the No. aircraft is at least two generations higher than the radar technology currently used in the United States.

The American F16 still uses the AN/APG-66 pulse Doppler radar, and the detection range is not even 100 kilometers. This gap is too big, and the designs are not of the same era.

The design of the F16 is still in the dogfighting era of fighter jets. The main mode of air combat is to rely on fighter jets to lock onto each other with radar after close contact, and then guide air-to-air missiles to hit the opponent.

The J-10's combat idea is to find its opponent from a long distance, and then launch long-range air-to-air missiles to kill the opponent hundreds of kilometers away. The combat ideas are different.

In addition to the abnormal performance of the fighter aircraft themselves, China is even more cheating on air-to-air missiles. Xu Huasheng has already come up with a lot of missile technology.

The latest Pili 10 air-to-air missile researched by China is what Xu Huasheng published. It directly uses the technology of China's Pili 15. This is an awesome fourth-generation air-to-air missile. The United States' fourth-generation air-to-air missile aim-9x only began bidding in 1994 and was officially equipped with troops in 2003.

The performance of this air-to-air missile is very abnormal, with a range of 180 kilometers. It uses a dual-pulse solid rocket motor. This technology is very awesome. The range of an air-to-air missile using a dual-pulse engine is an inescapable range.

For air-to-air missiles using traditional engines, if the range is 100 kilometers, the inescapable range is almost kilometers.

This technology will be the first to be adopted by China in the future. The United States will not develop this technology until 2030.

At the same time, this missile has active radar guidance technology, dual data link technology, and strong anti-jamming capabilities.

The maximum attack speed is as high as Mach 4.4, and fighter jets cannot escape at all.

In a word, the performance is super powerful. As long as a fighter jet of this era is locked by this missile, it will be a sure kill and cannot escape.

Compare this to the aim-2003x air-to-air missile that was only equipped by the US military in 9. This missile uses a traditional solid rocket motor and has a range of only 26 kilometers. It is not a product of the same era as the Thunderbolt 10 currently equipped on the No. aircraft.

If China's No. 10 aircraft now carries the Thunderbolt and engages in air combat with American fighter planes, it can defeat the United States.

Because the air-to-air missiles currently used by the United States are still third-generation air-to-air missiles, or infrared-guided air-to-air missiles, the technological gap is too big.

If fighting alone, the J-12 has 12 weapon racks and can directly mount 10 Thunderbolt s.

You can imagine if the J-16 matched up with the current American F16. The J-16 discovered the F-16 when it was more than 100 kilometers away from the F-. However, the radar detection range of the F- is less than kilometers, so the J- will definitely not be visible.

When the distance between the F16 and the J-180 was 10 kilometers, the J-16 directly launched the PL-16 air-to-air missile. After launching, it turned around and ran away. The F10 was slung outside the exploration range of the F radar, and by the way, it provided various data to the PL-.

At this moment, the F16 had not discovered the J-10 yet and was still rushing forward. As a result, it soon encountered the flying Pili 16. After the Pili discovered the F4.4, it accelerated directly to Mach 16. By that time, the F had no choice but to wait for death. .

To put it bluntly, as long as one J-12 is operated well, it can directly kill 16 Fs. This is the technical gap.

For fighter jets, the radar performance is doubled and the combat effectiveness is increased five times.

The air-to-air missile technology has been doubled, and the combat effectiveness has been increased by 10 times.

Therefore, the current J-10 is equipped with China's latest air-to-air missiles, which is China's greatest confidence now.

"Now I announce that the J-10 fighter jet is officially mass-produced..."

In the hall, when they heard this sentence, everyone burst into warm applause.

The J-10 fighter jet is officially mass-produced, which marks that China’s sky has its own third-generation fighter jet, and it is a super powerful fighter jet.

The Air Force also attaches great importance to the J-10.

The country also directly allocated a huge amount of money to the Air Force this time. The first order was as high as 120 fighter jets, with a total of 24 squadrons.

The current supply price of J-3800 fighter jets to the military industry is million yuan, which is already quite cheap.

With this performance, if it were sold to outsiders, there would be people rushing to buy it even for $3800 million. But China will definitely not sell this thing in a short time. This thing is the main model of China's future air force. With this configuration and performance, this fighter can be used for thirty years without falling behind without changing the configuration.

Now, China wants to develop its economy, expand its national influence, and protect its national security. Advanced fighter jets are the top priority, and the J-10 is just the beginning!
