Dominate South Asia

There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only unchanging interests. Between countries, this sentence is the absolute truth.

When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the Americans were so close to Pakistan that they could wear a pair of trousers. Through Pakistan, they imported a large number of weapons to Afghanistan. Under the promotion of Mhamad, they also sold heavy F-14 fighter jets. It was given to Pakistan, but in later generations, after the war in Afghanistan, the United States had already turned its back, especially after Pakistan exploded a nuclear bomb.

In Asia, the United States values ​​India more. Through India, it also checks and balances Eastern countries. Similarly, Eastern countries must be closely connected with Pakistan and check and balance India through Pakistan. Without Pakistan, Eastern countries will always be in a conflict with India. in conflict.

This is the national interest. The friendship between Americans can only last a few years, but the friendship with Eastern countries will last for a long time, because the two countries have a common enemy, especially during the Indo-Pak war, Eastern countries supported a large number of J-6 fighters. At that time, the West imposed an embargo on Pakistan, which made Pakistan's relationship with Eastern countries even closer.

At this time, Eastern countries had begun reform and opening up and ended the turmoil. When they emerged from the turmoil, they suddenly found that they had lagged behind for ten years. These ten years were exactly the ten years when the West made great strides forward.

The same is true in the military industry. As the pride of the aviation industry, the J-8 fighter jet was designed in the 1960s and first flew in 1969. As a result, it was not until 1979 that this fighter was just an extended J-7 fighter jet with a dual-engine engine. The fighter jet has just been finalized and has been in service since 1980. Looking around, this high-altitude and high-speed fighter is already far out of date.

Turbofan VI was developed in the early 1960s, and bench testing was completed in 1982. However, later on, it lost its installation target and had to be discontinued.

The JH-7 project was initiated in 1973, and it was not until 1982 that a wooden prototype was built.

In order to develop their economy, Eastern countries can only put the development of military industry behind. At the same time, Eastern countries also want to know how big the gap between them and Western countries' fighter jets is.

Although Eastern countries and the United States have entered a honeymoon period due to the relationship with the Soviet Union, the United States will not export advanced technology to Eastern countries. Ideological issues are the biggest obstacle between the two countries. In the United States, it has always been Some people regard Eastern countries as the biggest threat.

Therefore, after hearing that Pakistan was equipped with two advanced fighter jets, F-14 and F-16, Eastern countries were tempted. It was just because Americans were in Pakistan.

Before Christmas, Americans evacuated from Pakistan. People from multiple research institutes in Eastern countries formed an inspection team and quietly came to Pakistan.

"Boom, boom, boom." A transport plane appeared in the clouds. Standing on the runway, Mhamad's eyes lit up, "Yuck eight!"

During the turmoil of those ten years, the only one that was successfully developed and put into practical use was the Y-8 medium-sized transport aircraft developed by Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.

In fact, it is not considered manufacturing. This aircraft is a Soviet An-12 transport aircraft copied by XAC.

It has a straight trapezoidal cantilevered upper wing. Four turboprop six engines drive four four-blade propellers. There is also a framed plexiglass nose at the front of the fuselage, which is where the navigator sits. Behind the fuselage The bottom is a straight cargo hatch.

Next to Mhammad were General Noor Khan, Commander of the Pakistan Air Force, General Mushaaf, Commander of the Military Region, and Arslan, Commander of the Air Force Base.

Faced with this visit, Pakistan sent General Zamail to welcome him, which is enough to show the importance it attaches to Eastern countries.

"An-12 transport plane." Arslan said next to Mhamad.

At this time, the Eastern countries are still shrouded in mystery. Although they have reformed and opened up, the outside world still knows very little about them. After hearing Arslan’s words, Mhammad said softly: “It’s not An-12, it’s based on the An-12 imitation Yunba."

"It would be great if our country could also imitate fighter jets," Arslan said.

Pakistan's industry is backward. As the most high-end aviation industry, Pakistan is even more backward. All fighter planes are purchased, and even overhauls have to be carried out abroad. Only for the J-6, Eastern countries have friendly support for an overhaul factory, which can be carried out inside. Maintenance of J-6.

Nur Khan is also very affectionate towards Eastern countries. More than ten years ago, it was Nur Khan who led the elites of the air force to the Eastern lands and received J-6 fighters from there.

Now, here are our friends from the East.

Hearing Arslan's words, Noor Khan was also very emotional. It would be great if Pakistan could make its own fighter jets!

"We not only want to imitate, but in the future, we will also develop the world's latest fighter jets ourselves." Mhamad said, his words full of confidence.

Today is the first step.

"Mhamad, how do you think we should develop it?" Nur-Khan's eyes were filled with blazing fire.

"Cooperate with Eastern countries to first survey and map these two advanced fighter jets we are equipped with, and strive to imitate them," said Mhamad. "Eastern countries have the world's largest advantage in surveying and mapping."

Surveying and mapping are called copycats at best and piracy at worst. Eastern countries are best at it. When Apple 4 was first launched, high imitations became popular everywhere.

"Boom boom," the roar became louder and louder, the transport plane aimed at the runway and landed accurately.

The tail door of the cabin opened, and a group of people with oriental faces walked down from it.

The one walking in the front was the leader of this delegation, the director of the 611 Institute of Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, Tu Jida.

This aircraft design expert, born in 1927, experienced World War II. After the founding of New China, he first worked in Shenfei and then in Chengdu Aircraft, and presided over many projects, including the CJ-6, JJ-5, and J-7.

At this time, the aircraft expert was already full of white hair, and he was still a little excited when he set foot on the land of Pakistan.

Following Tu Jida, another old man was Song Wencong. Although he was only three years younger than Tu Jida, he was more energetic than Tu Jida, and exuded a unique vitality all over his body, as if he was a young man in his thirties or forties. He also came from Chengdu Aircraft, and the two were old friends.

At this time, he was accepting a high-tech project of the country and was in the stage of blowing the wind tunnel. When he heard that Pakistan was going to visit, he immediately asked to come with him. After waiting for several months, he got the opportunity.

Behind the two was Chen Yijian from the 603 Institute of Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. The three were all sixty years old and dedicated their youth to the sky of New China.

"Old Chen, this time it is thanks to your plane." Tu Jida said, "Otherwise, we would have to take a civil aviation flight to Islamabad and then take a car here."

"This plane needs to do a durability flight test, and it just happens to have such an opportunity." Chen Yijian said, "I have been worried that the noise in the cabin is too loud and you can't stand it."

The Yun-8 is a transport plane. Although the cabin at the back is also an airtight cabin, it is not as comfortable as a civil aviation plane.

Watching these people get off the plane, Muhammad remembered that he had seen these people in his previous life. Each of them was so famous. Song Wencong presided over the J-10 and Chen Yijian presided over the Flying Leopard. Now, these fighters have just started the design stage. They came here to learn from others.

Following them were a group of young technicians.

"Welcome, friends from the East." Nur-Khan had already greeted him: "Chief Designer Tu, we have met before."

Tu Jida's hands were tightly clasped with Nur-Khan's, and he was also very excited when he thought of the past.

The two sides shook hands in turn, and when Nur-Khan introduced Muhammad, these old experts opened their eyes wide.

"Chief of Staff Muhammad, you are the backbone of Pakistan. On the battlefield in Afghanistan, you personally fought and created the Afghan Free Army. Now, you are commanding the air force of the Peshawar Military Region to fight against the Soviets. In particular, you personally presided over the purchase of advanced fighter jets." Tu Jida said.

"It's all for Pakistan's security." Muhammad said: "These are the results of the joint efforts of all Pakistani soldiers, including our Air Force Commander, who has negotiated with the United States many times, especially now that we are about to introduce the A-7 attack aircraft, which is also presided over by our Air Force Commander."

At this time, Muhammad was very humble, and Nur-Khan was very happy to hear it.

"We came here to see the American fighters equipped by the Pakistani Air Force." Tu Jida said. Although they had just got off the plane, they couldn't wait.

On the apron in the distance, there were fighters with open cockpit covers, an F-16 and an F-14. Ladders had been erected next to the fighters.

This visit was top secret. All Pakistani soldiers on the scene were completely reliable. There was no American in the entire base.

"Please come over here." Noor Khan said.

In fact, you can't know the advanced nature of the fighter just by looking at the appearance. However, when seeing the overall cockpit cover of the F-16, a young technician exclaimed: "Look, there is no front windshield!"

At this time, all fighters in the East still have three-piece front windshields. When the pilots observe the front view, there are those metal frames blocking the view, and the field of vision is limited. Looking at the bubble-like cockpit cover, they are all surprised.

Muhammad looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young female technician, who seemed to be in her early twenties, with short hair, fair skin, and big eyes. She was completely surprised at this moment. She was wearing a Pakistani military uniform, which did not show her slim figure, but she walked with such grace.
