Chapter 182: The Strongest on Earth and the Concept of Electronic Warfare [Full Order]

While Wang Haoran and Lin Jianjun were talking, Zhao Xiansheng said, "Let's see how maneuverable the J-10 is."

The maneuverability of a fighter jet is mainly reflected in three aspects.

The first is speed. This indicator mainly looks at the fighter's ability to change its flight speed in a short period of time.

For example, the acceleration roll performance of a fighter jet during takeoff and the acceleration stop process when the takeoff is interrupted.

The performance of the J-10 during its accelerated taxiing and takeoff just now was truly amazing.

It is amazing that a heavy fighter jet needs less than 300 meters of runway to take off, and this is not even at its full potential.

The J-10's performance when accelerating and taking off is also very powerful. It is extremely powerful. In just a few seconds, it can fly to an altitude of two to three thousand meters, which is much better than the performance of the F16.

Of course, if we want to understand the maneuverability parameters of the J-10, more flight tests are needed.

Zhao Xiansheng requested a comprehensive test of the J-10's maneuverability, which was actually not excessive.

However, considering that the J-10 is only making its first test flight today, this request is still not very reasonable.

As long as the first test flight can take off and fly stably for a distance, it will be a huge success.

Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation's chief engineer Ge Xiaobing was a little worried.

He said weakly, "Leader, it doesn't seem good to do such a difficult test on the first test flight, right?"

Zhao Xiansheng looked at Wang Haoran and asked with a smile: "Comrade Haoran, what do you think?"

"You are the inventor of this aircraft. Its structural strength and engine stability should be no problem, right?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "There is absolutely no problem with the structural strength! The reliability of the engine has also been tested thousands of times!"

"Actually, I also want to see all the parameters and values ​​of the J-10 as soon as possible, haha!"

When several people were talking on the ground, Lin Jianjun in the J-10 fighter jet heard their conversation clearly.

"Leader! Got it! We will immediately conduct a comprehensive test of the J-10's maneuverability!"

As Lin Jianjun spoke, he began a comprehensive test of the fighter's maneuverability.

He first tested the J-10's fast vertical flight performance.

A high degree of mobility is important.

When dogfighting with an enemy aircraft, if you quickly rise to a high enough speed and altitude, you will be able to break free from the enemy's lock and then lock onto it in return.

"Om-"

Lin Jianjun flew the J-10 fighter jet straight into the sky at an angle of almost 90 degrees.

While rushing towards the sky at high speed, the maximum speed reached 350 meters per second!
That means it is close to 1 times the speed of sound!
The MiG-25, which had the fastest climbing speed before, could only climb about 350 meters.

But the MiG-25 can only fly at high speed, not low speed, and has many defects.

This rapid climbing speed is extremely powerful, and no main fighter jet in the world can match its climbing performance.

In just over 20 seconds, the J-10 climbed to an altitude of more than 7 meters.

Lin Jianjun felt that the plane still had great potential to continue climbing.

However, at this time, the plane was already at an altitude of more than 1.5 meters.

Since we are testing its maneuverability, let’s not look at its maximum ceiling for now.

"Report to the commander! We have just been testing our high maneuverability, and our maximum climbing speed has reached 350 meters per second!" Lin Jianjun reported to the ground via the radio.

The voice came from the walkie-talkie in Wang Haoran's hand.

When the people around him heard the news, there was great joy.

Because the climbing speed is too fast, much faster than the F16.

They can compete with the MiG-25.

Zhao Xiansheng clenched his fists and laughed, "Haha! The climbing speed is first-rate!"

"Test its speed and maneuverability again!"

"Let's see how good its ability to change speed is!"

Lin Jianjun heard Zhao Xiansheng's voice and immediately responded: "Got it!"

"We will try its maximum and minimum flight speed next."

Wang Haoran said: "Be careful!"

"Always leave some safety margin!"

Lin Jianjun replied: "Received!"

After the call, Lin Jianjun immediately began to test the aircraft's maximum flying speed in the stratosphere.

This time, he increased the throttle of the plane to maximum.

He felt that the J-10's acceleration was really too fast.

I watched the speedometer on the dashboard soaring rapidly.

In just three or four seconds, the plane reached a speed of more than 2500 kilometers per hour.

Breaking through twice the speed of sound.

Afterwards, Lin Jianjun slowed down sharply again.

The throttle was released and the speed brake was used, and the speed of the aircraft dropped suddenly, dropping to more than 1400 kilometers per hour in less than two seconds.

While performing this set of movements, Lin Jianjun also used the speed brake to achieve a quick turn.

This turn is so beautiful.

Wang Yibing sat aside and felt his blood boiling.

"Damn! Isn't the speed of this sharp turn too strong?"

Lin Jianjun took a look at the engine's status and said, "This variable cycle engine can also automatically adjust the bypass ratio according to the speed. This is truly a genius invention."

When Wang Yibing and Lin Jianjun were talking, their voices were transmitted to the ground through the radio equipment.

Wang Haoran saw that Zhao Xiansheng looked a little anxious, so he asked, "Comrade test pilot, what is the highest speed you just tested? Please report the data!"

Lin Jianjun immediately reported: "Yes! Commander! The fastest flight speed we just tested reached 2519 kilometers per hour!"

"After emergency deceleration, the speed can be reduced to more than 3 kilometers per hour in 1400 seconds!"

"Using the speed brakes and thrust reversers, we were able to make a sharp turn in under a second!"

"Another thing is that the variable cycle engine on the aircraft can automatically adjust according to the increase and decrease of speed. This is very user-friendly!"

Lin Jianjun's words once again made the people on the ground boil.

Zhao Xiansheng said happily: "This speed and maneuverability are amazing!"

"It can reach a top speed of more than twice the speed of sound, faster than the J-6!"

"I had my doubts about the variable cycle engine before! Now it seems that this engine is really excellent! Comrade Haoran, thank you!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said: "Leader, this is my responsibility and obligation!"

"In fact, the biggest advantage of the variable cycle engine is that it can fly at high speeds and can also operate normally at low speeds of 600 to 700 kilometers per hour."

Zhao Xiansheng said happily: "Then let's try it right away! Haha!"

Wang Haoran issued an order: "Comrade test pilot, you can now try what low-speed and low-altitude cruising is like!"

Lin Jianjun immediately replied: "Yes!"

Lin Jianjun began to fly the J-10 fighter jet to lower its altitude.

While lowering the altitude, he even performed some difficult leaf-floating moves.

These falling leaves were spotted by Zhao Xiansheng through a telescope.

He exclaimed loudly, "What beautiful falling leaves!"

Falling leaves is a famous fighter plane maneuver.

This requires aircraft engines to have vector nozzle technology and post-stall maneuvers that can provide very large thrust.

Therefore, there are very few fighter jets in the world that can achieve leaf-falling.

Even Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation's director Feng Mingxin and chief engineer Ge Xiaobing were shocked.

Because they had never thought that the J-10 could perform such difficult aerial maneuvers.

Lin Jianjun reduced his speed to a height of only about 1 meters, and then he began to try to fly at low altitude and low speed.

As mentioned earlier, it is difficult for high-speed fighter jets to achieve low-altitude and low-speed flight.

Because their engines don't offer a low-speed option at all.

Wang Haoran also raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the sky.

He saw that the J-10 fighter jet in the air was flying at a speed of about 1000 kilometers per hour.

Then it continued to slow down.

In the end, its speed dropped to only more than 500 kilometers per hour!

This speed is even slower than that of a large passenger plane. Lin Jianjun's report came through the walkie-talkie: "Report to the commander! We have now descended to an altitude of about 300 meters, and the speed has also dropped to 507 kilometers per hour!"

Wang Haoran asked: "Comrade test pilot, how do you feel about the flight status of the aircraft now? Is it stable?"

Lin Jianjun replied: "We feel that the flight condition of the plane is very stable!"

"The aircraft's instrument panel and systems are all in good working order!"

"This aircraft looks very adapted to low-speed and low-altitude flight."

Zhao Xiansheng rubbed his hands beside him.

He was in a very good mood at the moment.

"So far, the maneuverability of this aircraft has been excellent!" Zhao Xiansheng nodded with satisfaction.

He paused and added: "Let's put it this way. If we use this plane to engage in aerial combat with the enemy, I think no one can defeat us."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Leader! The era of aerial combat is actually over now."

"Now, in air combat, you can hardly see the enemy's aircraft, and the enemy can launch missiles to attack from 100 to 200 kilometers away."

"This is also the reason why we want to develop the third-generation fighter!"

Zhao Xiansheng said a little embarrassedly: "Haha! My thinking is a little rigid."

"Comrade Haoran is right to criticize!"

"What is the maximum distance that the airborne radar you tested previously can scan?"

Wang Haoran said: "Our XRM80 Doppler pulse radar has a maximum scanning distance of nearly 200 kilometers."

"Moreover, we can track and lock multiple targets within 200 kilometers."

"We can test the J-10 fighter's long-range aerial strike capability someday. This is our ultimate weapon, haha!"

Zhao Xiansheng nodded and said, "Yes! That makes sense! I am very satisfied with this fighter!"

"It would be even more perfect if we could truly achieve beyond-visual-range long-range strikes."

"We have completed the test today. If there are no problems with the J-10, I hope to be able to conduct combat test flights as soon as possible."

Wang Haoran nodded and said with a smile: "Leader, no problem!"

The first test flight of the J-10 can be said to be a great success!
During this test flight, it reached a maximum altitude of nearly 1.6 meters. Of course, this is not its limit.

Its maximum speed reaches over 2500 kilometers per hour.

It has amazing maneuverability. It can float like falling leaves, accelerate, decelerate, make various sharp turns, and climb and descend at high speeds in a short period of time.

Most unexpectedly, it can also fly at ultra-low altitudes and extremely low speeds.

This means that this is an all-round fighter.

Can penetrate at high speed.

Can cruise at economical speed.

It may even be able to carry out sneak attacks at ultra-low altitudes, deceiving radar.

Such all-round performance can be said to have made the Air Force very satisfied.

After the test flight, Lin Jianjun landed the plane steadily at the Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation's test flight field.

Everyone gathered around.

When the cabin door opened and the two test pilots came down the ladder from the plane, the warmest applause broke out at the scene.

The applause lasted for a long time.

Zhao Xiansheng held Lin Jianjun and Wang Yibing's hands tightly, shook them vigorously, and said, "Comrades, you have worked hard!"

"You have done a great job today!"

Lin Jianjun and Wang Yibing quickly stated that this was within their responsibilities and thanked the leadership for their recognition.

Zhao Xiansheng asked Lin Jianjun: "Jianjun! Just tell me, what is this plane like? Give me your evaluation!"

Lin Jianjun said: "This is the best fighter I have ever flown!"

"none of them!"

"You know, Leader, I once test-flew the F16 of Yosa."

"At that time, we were planning to import F16, but the other party asked for too high a price, so we couldn't reach an agreement!"

"If you ask me, the performance parameters of the F16 cannot be compared with those of the J-10."

"The J-10 is a very stable aircraft. It accelerates very quickly and the driving experience is great."

“Its maneuverability is world class!”

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Please point out the shortcomings so that we can improve them."

Lin Jianjun thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought of any shortcomings yet. I originally thought that with so many electronic devices, they would easily break down. But, in fact, these electronic devices are also very stable."

"Well! Although I didn't deliberately test the radar this time, I have to say that the radar on this fighter is very powerful."

"It can capture suspicious objects in all directions around the aircraft."

"During my flight, we captured 5 aircraft taking off and landing at the nearby airport. The radar can automatically capture and lock on them and give reasonable handling suggestions!"

"This radar is amazing!"

"If we really have to fight, if we have missiles mounted, we will definitely be able to shoot down the enemy from a long distance!"

Zhao Xiansheng was even more delighted when he heard this.

He patted Lin Jianjun on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work! I hope you can stay here for the next period of time. We still have a lot of test flights to do."

“I hope to speed up the running-in process!”

“We must find and solve the problem as soon as possible!”

"If there are no problems, that would be even better! If there are no problems, we must hurry up and start production quickly! We will try to equip the troops before the end of the year as Comrade Haoran said!"

Lin Jianjun put his legs together, saluted, and said, "Yes!"

Zhao Xiansheng nodded with satisfaction, and then he turned to look at Wang Haoran: "Comrade Haoran, thank you! You have worked so hard over the past year or so! Next, please support us and let us work together to get the J-10 fighter jets equipped to the troops in large quantities as soon as possible."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely do my best!"

Zhao Xiansheng said: "Comrade Haoran, if our Air Force has no suggestions for revision, how many J-10 fighters can be produced per year?"

Wang Haoran said: "If there is no need for major modifications, I think we now have the ability to produce at least 50 aircraft per year!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Feng Mingxin, the factory director of Xifei: "Director Feng, is this the case?"

Feng Mingxin nodded and said loudly: "Yes! Our advanced production equipment is basically in place now."

"I think it should be no problem to produce 5 J-10s per month!"

Zhao Xiansheng nodded and said, "Okay! With this, I feel relieved!"

"For a long time, Yusa has frequently come to provoke us, and even flew close to our coastline."

"It bullies us because our aircraft are slow and not as advanced as theirs. It's simply lawless!"

"When our new advanced fighter jets are ready, we will definitely teach them a lesson."

Wang Haoran nodded thoughtfully after hearing what Zhao Xiansheng said, and said, "Leader, we are still not good enough in terms of electronic warfare equipment! If we had powerful electronic jamming capabilities, I guarantee they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!"

"Another point is that when faced with provocation, you have to fight back. You are worried about ruining your relationship with them. This is the mentality of the weak!"

"The more you compromise, the more they will push you further, and eventually they will shit and piss on your neck!"

Zhao Xiansheng sighed and said, "We are indeed a little frustrated!"

"Comrade Haoran, what is this electronic warfare equipment you are talking about?"

Wang Haoran was not too surprised that Zhao Xiansheng didn't know much about electronic warfare equipment.

Because, in today's world, there is no concept of electronic warfare.

In the 70s, Jusa proposed the concept of system warfare, which included electronic information warfare.

It was not until the mid-80s that China realized the importance of this.

Electronic warfare is really important.

When Yusa beat Shadamu, it would have been impossible for it to win so quickly if it weren't for the power of electronic warfare.

Wang Haoran had to patiently explain to Zhao Xiansheng the content of electronic warfare.

In fact, the core point is: destroy the opponent's military communication system, causing disorder in the opponent's command, and eventually falling into a complete information blind spot, while the opponent can know all your situations through various reconnaissance means.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to fight a war.

After listening to Wang Haoran's introduction, Zhao Xiansheng took a breath.

He still didn't quite believe it: "Is Jusa already that powerful?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "They haven't yet developed electronic warfare to its peak."

"But in terms of reconnaissance, electronic disruption, electronic paralysis, etc., they are clearly ahead of us."
