Chapter 916 Discussion on God Eagle Fighter

When the data report results of several surnames of the last 'Shen Eagle' fighter came out, Li Mo's mouth was a little closed.

At an altitude of 44 kilometers, where the highest test flight was located, the speed of the 'Shawk' fighter exceeded 6 Mach.

And this data is only the data of the test flight stage. It is definitely not the standard data of the 'Eagle' fighter, nor is it the limit data.

But for Li Mo, this number can already explain many problems.

"Well done!" Li Mo patted Xu Dong on the shoulder again and praised loudly. It is not only the scientific research department that is under pressure. He, the leader of the Somali military, is under greater pressure from the "thorn in the eye" of Western countries.

Under Li Mo's praise, Xu Dong rarely showed a trace of shyness, which made others laugh secretly.

When the 'God Eagle' verification plane landed, a large group of people rushed up in various support vehicles. The test pilot Karim was put on a stretcher by several doctors and rushed to the infirmary of the base. They had to conduct a comprehensive examination of Karim's physical condition to get the pilot's body behind the plane. Changes and impacts of the face.

However, in the telescope, Li Mo saw the helplessness and depression on Karim's face and couldn't help but be dumb. It seems that this guy hasn't reacted abnormally, otherwise it wouldn't be this expression.

"Falcon, go to the restaurant to prepare, and ask him to come over after Karim's inspection."

Li Mo, who is in a good mood, did not forget his previous promise to invite guests to dinner. Although it was 'borrow flowers to offer Buddha', this meaning was just expressed.

In an officer's restaurant on the airborne base, several tables are full of all kinds of food, mostly from the local. Somalia is rich in livestock and fishery resources, and the army generally eats very well. This is not only because Li Moshe has to spend money, but also because in Somalia, a sheep and a few fish are very cheap.

Li Mo walked into the restaurant accompanied by a group of senior generals, came to a table to look at the food on it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Karim, you are used to eating nutritious meals and three dishes and one soup today. Today, we can let go of our hands and feet and eat eight dishes and one soup at a time."

Because Li Mo and the experts are all Chinese, they are naturally keen on Chinese food, and this tradition was slowly learned by others during the period of Paraming's cooking army. Today's senior officials of the National Defense Force, if they don't eat a few meals of Chinese food every month, they are embarrassed to say that it is Li Mo's direct line.

Although Li Mo never cares about this, he acquiesced. He believes that it is not inappropriate for these officers to eat Chinese food as a way of loyalty, at least to show that these people have the intention of 'following' Li Mo.

Karim, dressed in a black captain's military uniform, grabbed his scalp and smiled. Everyone here has a higher rank than him, and it is naturally difficult for him to interrupt casually.

Because many of the people here are Muslims, and no drinks are prepared on the table. They use a kind of drink that is popular in the local area, camel milk tea. The army has a special supply of special milk tea for officers and soldiers.

"Come on, let's drink a toast to our heroic pilots." Li Mo has the highest position here. He first raised the cup and proposed.

Speaking of the word hero, Karim blushed, because his skin color was lighter, and it was not easy to see the blush.

But Karim is still very proud and excited that he can test fly the first 'nuclear-powered ultra-sonic' aircraft in the history of human aviation.

This is an honor, which will definitely be recorded in the history of human aviation.

"Karim, tell me what it's like to fly at a height of more than 40 kilometers at Mach 6?" Brigadier General Assad, the deputy commander of the air force, likes this lucky pilot the most. He didn't care about the occasion here. He hugged Karim's shoulder kindly and asked with a smile.

This question is not only about Assad, but also about Li Mo and others who are full of curiosity. Li Mo felt that he had enough experience, but he had never flown a plane in person, not to mention flying at six times the speed of sound at a height of more than 40 kilometers.

Karim felt a little embarrassed when he was stared at by so many eyes. He hesitated for a long time and said, "I don't feel anything."

Uh... This answer stunned everyone. They thought that Karim would answer 'stimulus', 'nervous' and so on, and it was not surprising that they even said a few thrilling words, but they didn't expect such an answer, which was no different from answering 'boring to death'.

"Ha ha, although I didn't go up, I can understand why Karim feels like this." At this time, Xu Dong, the head of the 'space fighter' research and development team, said with a smile, "According to the design, after the plane breaks through to an altitude of 35 kilometers, the plane begins to drive automatically. What the pilot has to do is to keep an eye on the radar and save his physical strength. Of course, the pilot can also look around the cockpit, but That height, the clarity is very high, there is no cloud dust or so on, the upper and lower left and right environment is almost the same. If you look at it too much, you will have visual fatigue.

Several people think it's right. At an altitude of 40 kilometers, there is no need to worry about the sudden emergence of an enemy aircraft in other directions, and there is no need to worry about a missile in that direction. Even if it is locked by the missile, there is an automatic alarm system on the plane, with a fully automatic laser anti-missile system. There is really not much to do for the drivers at this height. All they need is to keep in touch with the base at any time, and they may have to keep the radio silent in wartime. What they have to do is to ensure that the aircraft flies over a predetermined target, or lower the level to hit enemy aircraft, or drop bombs, etc.

For the Condor fighter, high-altitude defense is the most basic and simplest tactic.

And it is also very important to preserve the pilot's physical strength, because according to the design, the pilot of the 'Shenhawk' fighter has a large physical load in this ultra-high-speed flight. Even with Li Mo's development, it is not that many planes or pilots only need a few seconds and dozens of seconds to do some difficult maneuvers. The body is loaded, but one may fly in the air for more than ten hours. This is a lot of energy and physical pressure on the pilot.

In order to preserve physical strength, try to reduce the pilot's imagination in a safe environment, which is a key point in the design.

Only in this way can pilots have enough energy to face every difficulty on the battlefield.

"Haha, now there is a 'divine eagle'. In the future, no matter what kind of 'falcon' style, bumblebee, 'eagle' style 'raptor' and so on, you can kill as much as you want." Brigadier General Assad, the deputy commander of the Air Force, is now the most proud and happy one.

It can't be said that he is arrogant. Whoever controls such an incredible air force, I'm afraid he has such an idea and mentality.

Li Mo smiled and did not refute Assad's words, but he pointed out, "We can't just have planes. We also need to strengthen training and do a good job in weapons and other logistical support."

"What the commander said is that although our National Defense Force has made great progress in some aspects, it still has great shortcomings compared with Western countries. In terms of weapons, Western countries have formed a variety of systems. At present, we are still lagging behind others in this regard, and we are still in an imitation research and development. The stage of." Major General Hussein, the chief of staff who had never spoken, nodded when he heard the words.

Xu Dong, the head of the development of the 'space fighter', said, "At present, we have a complete plan for the weapon matching of the 'Eagle' fighter, including aircraft over-the-the-sight strike and close-range rampage combat missiles, various precision-guided bombs and missiles, from conventional ammunition to nuclear bombs, there is a detailed development. Plan, now we have solved part of it, and some of it is under development. With the finalization of the 'Eagle' fighter, the development speed in this regard will be improved. When the 'Eagle' fighter is equipped with the unit, the weapons can also be produced.

"And logistics supply is a relatively large system project, which is not only related to the ammunition supply and parts maintenance of the aircraft, but also includes electronic confrontation support, satellite ground guidance support, etc. If you want to improve it, it will take at least a few years.

After a meal, it's already evening. Li Mo and others did not go to rest immediately, but held a meeting in a conference room.

The theme of this meeting is about the comments on the construction of the strategic air force put forward by Assad, the deputy commander of the air force.

The test flight of the 'Eagle' fighter is successful, and I believe it will be finalized and produced soon. So what position does the 'Eagle' fighter occupy in the future Somali Air Force? How to effectively use this special air force?

Taken together, the 'Hailhawk' fighter can be regarded as a real 'multi-purpose aircraft', including land and air defense, seizing air superiority in the war zone, supporting ground attacks, carrying out strategic cruises and even strategic strike operations.

Not to mention Somalia, there is no such a model in the world that can cover the use of 'Shenhawk' fighters, which requires innovation and research and discussion.

And it is conceivable that in the future, conventional fighters, such as 'Su-27SS', will certainly not be retired. How to coordinate operations between the two is an urgent problem to be solved.

"First of all, I would like to mention that on the price of the Condor fighter, the airline has conducted a survey and concluded that if we purchase less than 20 aircraft, the unit price will exceed 200 million US dollars, which has not yet calculated the design cost, but only the material production cost. If more than 20 aircraft are purchased and less than 50 aircraft, the unit price will be reduced to $175 million, more than 50 aircraft. If the current industrial system does not change, that is, some technologies do not undergo revolutionary changes, the unit price will reach the lowest, that is, the production cost of each fighter is 148 million US dollars. It exceeds the production cost of the F-22 fighter, and the production cost of the F-22 fighter is calculated by the previous development cost. Colonel Anli, the general manager of the airline, raised a question that several people did not want to mention here.
