Begin the campaign for German Chancellor
Chapter 46
“No!”
“Not early at all”
“There is at least a ten-year gap between us and the world’s top air force. We must catch up with the progress of Eagle Sauce and Dragon within three years.”
“Either we do that, or we admit that we are just a second-rate nation.”
Lin Fan stood up and looked at the sky outside the window.
At present, the main fighter of the German Air Force is still the EF2000 Typhoon fighter.
As surrounding countries have begun to equip F35 fighters one after another, the level of weapons and equipment of the German Air Force has been left behind.
When the Ukraine crisis broke out, Germany once shouted the slogan”Defend Europe.”
However, a published letter showed that the Schulz administration hopes to increase budget funds by 10 billion euros to purchase 35 F35 stealth fighters.
In other words, the premise for the Schultz government to defend Europe is to continue to rely on Eagle Sauce.
This situation is really unacceptable, because Germany has never planned to introduce F35 fighters before.
Germany has its own aviation industry system.
Hehe The famous Typhoon fighter is the best among the four and a half generations of fighters.
However, due to various reasons, the German Air Force has not been able to have its own fifth-generation fighter.
To this day, when it comes to stealth fighters, many people’s first reaction is , both F22 and F35 fighters of Eagle.
Since the end of World War II, the Air Force of Eagle seems to have been leading the trend of fighter development.
To this day, Eagle is still the country with the most stealth fighters.
And there is no one.
But very Few people know that China is not actually the first country in the world to develop a stealth fighter.
As early as the 1980s, Germany had developed a stealth air superiority fighter.
At that time, Germany had a very strong reputation in fighter development. Profound technical foundation.
During World War II, Germany took the lead in putting jet fighters into actual combat, and also developed a flying-wing bomber, which is considered the grandfather of the B2 stealth bomber.
Even though decades have passed since World War II, today’s fighter aircraft still have We can find the shadow of the German fighter technology back then.
After the war, Germany’s development in the military industry has been greatly restricted, and it has basically lost the opportunity to independently develop fighter jets.
However, MBB, which cannot bear the loneliness, is keenly aware of the need for stealth air superiority. The future trend of fighter jets.
So, in the 1970s, the company began to develop a stealth fighter and named the project Project Firefly!
Firefly is positioned as a medium-range missile fighter.
Relying on its powerful stealth capabilities, it took the lead To launch an attack on the enemy, there is no need to engage in a close-range dogfight with the enemy aircraft.
In order to improve the stealth capability of the fighter, MBB built it into a polyhedral structure, and the fuselage was also covered with absorbing materials.
In the 1980s, the Firefly fighter has already Two scale models were built and many experiments were conducted in the wind tunnel.
Some breakthroughs were made in the relevant experiments.
According to the normal rhythm, the next step is to build the prototype.
But just when MBB was confident When the project was about to be further advanced, the Firefly project was suddenly discontinued.
Immediately afterwards, Yingjiang publicly admitted the existence of the F117 stealth attack aircraft.
In the 1990s, tens of thousands of viewers witnessed the true appearance of the F117 attack aircraft.
Seeing this After the fighter aircraft was launched, people were shocked.
Because it was simply the attack aircraft version of the Firefly fighter.
Both adopted a polyhedral structure to reduce the radar reflection area.
At that time, the Firefly project and the F117 development project were completely unrelated projects..
When the Firefly fighter entered the wind tunnel test, there was no such thing as the F117.
As a result, many people speculated that Yingjiang canceled the Firefly fighter project because they were worried that the emergence of the Firefly fighter would steal their limelight.
Some people also believe that the Firefly fighter project was canceled because the Woolly Bear had disintegrated at that time and the defense pressure in Europe dropped sharply.
After the Firefly fighter project was discontinued, Germany also hoped to use this related technology on other fighters.
However, there is no trace of the Firefly fighter on the improved models of the Tornado and Typhoon fighters.
After the F22 fighter entered service, the polyhedral structure stealth fighter was replaced by more advanced technology.
In order to catch up with this gap, Germany once joined forces with France and Spain to launch a fifth-generation aircraft development plan.
It is also known as the future air combat system program.
At present, this project has advanced to a new stage of development.
If nothing else happens, this will be a fifth-generation fighter aircraft belonging to Europe.
However, at this critical moment, the Schulz administration needs to spend 10 billion euros to purchase 35 F35 fighter jets.
This means that the advancement of future air combat system programs may be hindered.
The Schultz administration is obviously more focused on the current situation and intentionally ignores long-term planning.
If we really follow Schultz’s plan and introduce F35 fighter jets at a cost of 300 million euros each, it will inevitably crowd out Germany’s aviation industry resources.
By then, if Germany wants to develop an advanced fighter of its own, the resistance will be even greater.
After all, an important role of the F35 fighter is to facilitate Yingjiang to exploit allies.
France obviously does not want its air force to be subject to the Eagle Sauce, so it wants to win over Germany and Spain to jointly develop a fifth-generation fighter jet belonging to Europe.
However, at a critical moment, the Schultz government still came up with the idea of directly purchasing F35 fighters.
This has also created new problems for the development of fifth-generation aircraft in Europe.
Although with the development of the times, the import and export of weapons between countries is nothing new.
However, such an important air combat ace cannot be in the hands of outsiders after all.
Moreover, according to a piece of intelligence previously disclosed by the island country, the F35 fighter jets sold by Yingjiang to the island country have a backdoor for monitoring.
When the island country asked Yingjiang to give an explanation, Yingjiang refused to admit the incident and claimed that the crash of the island country’s F35 fighter jet had nothing to do with Yingjiang technology.
It was not until the island country produced the evidence that Yingjiang was willing to compromise and expressed its willingness to provide the code for the monitoring backdoor to the island country.
At that time, some military experts analyzed that the reason why Yingjiang installed monitoring backdoors on the F35 fighter jets sold to the island country was probably to eavesdrop on the military developments of the island country.
Because when the island country’s air force conveys the order to the fighter pilots, the military orders issued by the island country will be directly passed to the Ministry of National Defense.
In this way, all the military intelligence of the island country, as well as the dynamics of fighter jets, will be under the control of the Yingjiang military.
After the relevant news was announced, Yingjiang allies who own F35 fighters began to inspect the fighters, and they all discovered the existence of this monitoring backdoor.
This move of Yingjiang aroused strong dissatisfaction among many allies, and they all demanded an explanation from Yingjiang.
In addition, although the island country believes that the crash of the fighter plane is not directly related to Yingjiang, because the F35 fighter plane has a backdoor, Yingjiang is likely to use the island country’s F35 fighter plane as a test aircraft for testing.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the crash of the F35 fighter jet in the island country is inextricably related to Eagle Sauce.
That afternoon, Paul returned to Munich to deploy the mission.
Along with this, there is also an air combat drone research and development project.
In this regard, Eagle Sauce and Dragon are also at the forefront of the times.
From the series of wars in the Middle East, to the later Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and today’s Ewu War, the role of drones on the battlefield has become more and more obvious!
Yingjiang pioneered the official entry of military drones into the battlefield.
Long’s military drones come in many categories.
At present, the more common military drones in the world are mostly unmanned reconnaissance drones, surveillance and attack drones, attack drones, and suicide drones.
These drones are mainly responsible for striking ground targets and maritime targets.
For air combat, drones are still in the verification stage.
In the past, air combat was mostly based on close-range air combat.
However, as the detection range of later radar systems increased and the range of air-to-air missiles increased beyond visual range, air combat began to gradually shift towards beyond-visual-range combat.
In view of the precious lives of pilots and the expensive training funds, several major military powers in the world are looking for the possibility of using drones to gain air supremacy.
Yingjiang’s concept of unmanned fighter jets is to cooperate with manned fighters to fight together.
This is the same concept as Dragon’s unmanned loyal wingmen.
They all use manned fighters to command unmanned fighters for coordinated operations.
Not long ago, the Air Force Aerospace Systems Directorate made its first flight of an XQ67 drone at a General Atomics test flight center near Palmdale, California.
According to relevant reports from Yingjiang Media, the XQ67 unmanned fighter jet is also known as an external sensor station.
It is a new type of drone launched by the Yingjiang military after the XQ58 drone.
It is also the first aircraft in the Yingjiang military’s second-generation autonomous collaborative combat platform project.
The aircraft adopts a stealth design, has landing gear, and uses backpack air intake technology.
The overall layout adopts a combination of small sweep angle main wing and V-shaped tail.
It has a certain similarity with the XQ58 UAV.
General Atomics said the aircraft will focus on air-to-air combat, as well as infrared reconnaissance and tracking missions.
The Yingjiang Air Force stated that they believe that after the XQ58A project achieved a balance between reliability and low cost, the XQ67 once again proved that the technical route of designing, manufacturing, and testing such a general platform is feasible.
This will help the Yingjiang Aviation Industry to build a product line similar to that of the automobile industry when researching new drones in the future.
This allows them to design and build new aircraft using standard components and subsystems.
This saves time and money.
The person in charge of the project, Doug Meador, publicly stated:”Using this method, aircraft can be produced quickly!”
