"The development of this aircraft was based on high agility fighter jets. With the cost control, the US Air Force hopes to have an air-control fighter jet that can compete with the Soviet Union for quantity and have an overwhelming advantage over the Soviet Union. Simply put, this aircraft is a must-have.

It's an air-optimal fighter."

"Based on the lessons of the Vietnam War, the US military made the decision to develop this type of fighter jet based on the international military environment at that time, and initially considered that it was to line up as a NATO-style battlefield fighter jet.

It was installed. Later facts proved that they did this. To this day, the total production volume has reached nearly 5,000, which can be said to be a veritable world fighter jet."

Yi Xiaoyi talked idly. Their aircraft manufacturer obviously has in-depth research on various major fighter jets in the world. Typical third-generation aircraft such as the F-16 are naturally the top priority in research.

"In fact, the f-16 is a typical representative of the third-generation aircraft. The standards for some third-generation aircraft have been formulated since this fighter." Zhang Chongming said in a deep voice, "It is no exaggeration to say that this aircraft defines the third-generation aircraft, our technical department

There has been tracking and research on this aircraft for more than 20 years. We have some technical research directions for reference."

"We did performance comparisons at the beginning. The early J-10 was slightly inferior to the F-16. The avionics system of this fighter was very mature, especially in the later modifications. They had a large amount of actual combat data as support, and the more they changed, the more they changed, the more they became.

The better it is, the more comprehensive the performance is, and the latest models have strong capabilities in range and ground strikes."

Zhang Chongming presented the latest batch of F-16 performance data, and everyone looked seriously. Almost everyone is familiar with the performance data of the machine, but this time I looked at it differently from before, and it seemed that I felt it.

It's different. Everyone knows that the next battle drill will be carried out with friendly f-16c/d, and objectively everyone is more attentive.

Zhang Chongming looked at Li Zhan and other pilots and said in a deep voice, "Theoretically speaking, the disadvantage of the J-11 vs. F-16 is the instantaneous disc capability, which has very powerful instantaneous disc maneuver, and Phantom-

2000-5 is comparable. Everyone knows that the Phantom-2000-5 has very strong mid- and short-range air combat capabilities. When the Euro fighter and Rafale were developed, they both took the Phantom-2000-5 as the goal."

Seeing that many people don’t know much about the ability to instantaneous discs, Li Zhan stood up and said, “We usually think that whoever pointed the nose of the plane first can shoot first. We usually have two main principles when training in air combat.

First, occupy the rear half of the enemy aircraft, and second, the nose of the aircraft is pointed at the enemy aircraft. In fact, the two are closely related, the former includes the latter. In short, everything we do in air combat is to put the nose of the aircraft

Point at the enemy plane.”

Li Zhan walked over and wrote the four words "Instant Disk Ability" on the small blackboard, and gestured with his hands, "Excellent instant disc ability means a smaller turning radius and more sensitive nose direction. The two machines are fighting,

My nose is aimed at you first means I can shoot at you before you aim at me, and the balance of victory is tilted towards me. Therefore, the instantaneous disc ability of the fighter is almost an important indicator that determines the fighter's aerial combat capability

.”

He did not combine novel attack methods such as off-axis shooting to say that all the people here are senior personnel and do not need to be widely popularized in all aspects. The traditional air combat mode is an eternal rear hemisphere attack, with fighting missiles with large off-axis attack capabilities.

With the emergence and the birth of helmet sighting, modern fighter jets can even attack targets in the rear half of the ball. But one thing will never change - put enemy aircraft in the inescapable area of ​​missiles.

In the f-16 fighter family, except for the fuel tank model of the rear type-friendly aircraft that appeared later, the other models with no aerodynamic appearance have not been weak in air combat capabilities. Of course, it mainly refers to air combat within the visual range, especially close combat.

The su-27 family may not be able to defeat it, the avionics system plays an extremely critical role.

No one is willing to mention Russia's shit-like avionics technology. If there is a choice, the domestic military-industrial research department will not cooperate with Russia in related aspects, let alone purchase those stupid and thick weapons and equipment.

Some people are superstitious about Soviet and Russian equipment because we have no second choice for decades. Of course, it does not mean that these weapons and equipment are not good, but that as Chinese people who pursue perfection, they are really unwilling to endure it.

There are obvious shortcomings in the things in your hands.

For example, the avionics system like the su-27 series.

Li Zhan said, "The f-16's nose pointing is very sensitive, which is verified in the previous confrontation. Objectively speaking, the J-11 we used is a heavy air combat aircraft, and the main combat method is to observe the

Strike enemy aircraft from a distance. In fact, if you are forced to enter close combat, the J-11 is even worse than the J-7 in some aspects. I have used the J-7 to fight against the Su Liangqi."

He paused, returned to his seat and sat down, saying, "The advantage of J-11 is..."

Starting from him, the topic began to turn to the J-11b vs. F-16, gradually moving closer to the discussion of targeted tactics. The pilots are concerned about how to defeat the enemy. Analytical comparisons at the purely technical level are not the ultimate goal.

In the above, f-16 should correspond to mig-29, and su-27's opponent should be a heavyweight player like f-15.

The problem is that this is a wishful proposition for pilots. There are possibilities for encountering various opponents in combat. Maybe it is not surprising that they encounter F-22a. What they have to do is to give full play to their own advantages and target the enemy's disadvantages.

Attack. Pure literal contrast is meaningless.

However, they are facing such a paper comparison result that is likely to affect the research and development of new models and the adjustment of military combat tactics, which has to be taken seriously.

"I believe that the avionics system of J-11 will not be much worse than that of F-16. J-16 is a fighter bomber after all, and its combat maneuverability is slightly inferior to J-11. The speed at which J-11 obtains energy

It is faster than the f-16, with a climb rate, overload tolerance and perception of battlefield situations, and I am personally very confident in the subsequent confrontation." Li Zhan ended his speech with this.

Some people do not agree with Li Zhan's point of view. They believe that the F-16 design clarified the requirement of "excellent fighting agility". It can be said that this aircraft is not a multi-purpose fighter from beginning to end, but is designed for air combat.

The reason why the battle has become a multi-purpose, and even the latest batches focus on ground strikes is that since 1991, the United States has lost its opponent and is the only opponent.

Without considering air supremacy, or if only f-15 is needed to complete air supremacy, f-16 should have other capabilities, so that it is of significance to extend service life.

The f-16c/d of friendly equipment is an air-optimized model and has very excellent aerial fighting ability.

When it comes to the su-27, everyone's first impression is that it is the farthest fighter in the world, with outstanding maneuverability and can do super cobra maneuver. The f-16 can barely do it, but a super cobra maneuver alone cannot explain it completely.

Problem. In fact, the Su-27 almost fully demonstrated the Soviets' pursuit of fighter maneuverability, especially at high subsonic speeds, the Su-27 series fighter beat his old rival F-15 series.

Judging from theoretical data, the instantaneous disc ability of the su-27 is slightly inferior to that of the f-16, so some people think that the former cannot take advantage of it in air combat. However, the pilot's view is not the case. They believe that some gaps can be completely passed by the pilot.

The technology plays to make up for and even surpass.

The f-16 is a good aircraft, but the same aircraft is completely different from the hands of the US Air Force and the Indian Air Force. The latter is even better at shooting down himself than Li Zhan.

The discussion meeting lasted over two hours and was full of useful information. Several confrontational codes that Li Zhan thought were very useful were drawn up. For example, using the J-11b's better climbing performance to create attack opportunities, such as using large overload maneuvers during dog fights.

Improve the directional speed of the machine head. These rules are all based on the advantages of f-16.

Li Zhan and Chen Fei fought with F-16, and they believed that these rules were very guiding in actual combat.

The next day, the superior approved the training plan for the pilot team of the military exchange regiment to Pakistan. Two combat readiness fighters at Duda Station were dragged out of the permanent hangar. They were two J-10a fighters, commonly known as sticks, and were handed over to

Li Zhan and Chen Fei.

They were going to drive the J-10a simulated f-16 and the Han Hongjun and Li Zixin who drove the J-11b to fight against each other. Li Zhan once used the J-11b to suppress the J-10b of the Great Red Eagle Division and shot down Chengda

——At that time, Chengda was driving a J-10b fighter jet using vector nozzles, with maneuverability far better than the J-11b.

It can be seen how important the pilot's ability is. An excellent pilot can greatly make up for the shortcomings of equipment technical level.

Li Zhan and Chen Fei have been in contact with the F-16. They want to simulate the aircraft's performance in air combat. The ability of the Han Red Army and Li Zixin to use the J-11b is representative. The confrontation between them can be solved.

Some sparks of air combat codes are a kind of verification, and it is also an effective way to enhance cooperation between four people.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, it was just dawn. On the apron, the bare plateau mountains not far below the blue sky and white clouds seemed particularly desolate. People would have a strong feeling on the plateau that "it turned out that I could be so close to the sky." Many years ago

Li Zhan has been at Duda Station for quite some time, but he has lived in the plains in the past few years, and he still regained the same feeling when he is in it.

Guo Beimu pointed to the J-10a with tactical numbers 12 and 13 and told Li Zhan and Chen Fei, "These two J-10 were the earliest batch. They were aircraft of the 300th Division at that time. They were stationed here for a while.

According to the orders of the superior, two aircraft were left as the combat readiness fighter jets for this game. Usually, they were driven out for routine training and maintained very well. You should also take it easy when using it. There are only a few fighter jets in this game."

"Li Zhan, have you heard Chief of Staff Guo's words?" Chen Fei saw Li Zhan staring at the reinforcement tendons at the air inlet, and reminded him.

Li Zhan said, "I heard it, old battalion commander, you are not at ease with me."

"Of course I don't worry about you. You are famous in the army." Guo Beimu said dissatisfiedly, "Don't take it seriously. There are not many stations with fighter jets, and they are all more important. The reason is that you

You know, so you have to be careful.”

There are no aircraft at the station, only the aviation corps have aircraft. However, the station is very special. It seems that there has been a certain organization of fighter jets since the station was built. The pilots who drove them adopted a rotating system, and elites were drawn from various aviation corps to take responsibility.

For this purpose, their routine patrols are also on duty for 24 hours a day.

Li Zhan used to hear that someone had been on the plateau and that was what he did.

"Chief, the plane has been inspected, you can accept it." The mechanic ran over to report to Li Zhan. He was a captain with a red plateau on his face.

"You guys get ready, I'll go to the tower." Guo Beimu waved his hand and jumped into the commuter car and left.

The outfield of Duda Station is very large, with the runway alone being more than 3,700 meters long, making it one of the longest runways in the Air Force Station. It takes off at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters and crosses the line. The pilot does not wear an oxygen mask.

It is impossible to fly at all, and the thin air makes the engine efficiency decrease the biggest obstacle.

Li Zhan and Chen Fei immediately began to accept the plane.

Their acceptance method is very unique - interactive inspection.

In other words, the two of them first accepted Li Zhan's plane and then Chen Fei's plane. This is contrary to the regulations but is of great significance in special circumstances. For example, now, without pursuing time, the two aircraft

Any small problem will not escape such multiple checks.

Before boarding the plane, Li Zhan joked, "My J-10 and I were like a couple who were separated by parents. Although I begged hard, I never got the opportunity. Last year, I finally modified it and went solo.

Something happened and the plane fell. Later, he was a teacher for the Second Division and taught them low-altitude penetration tactics. He had the chance to drive the J-10 again. It was very smooth to drive the two-seater rear cabin in front, and nothing happened, but it turned out to drive the J-10.

The landline was in trouble when it was trained for the first time, and a bird hit. The J-10 looked really terrible, as if it was shot by a shotgun. Alas.”

"I said this is about to fly, can you say something good?" Chen Fei said dissatisfied.

Li Zhan spread his hands and said, "It's indeed an injustice. I feel a lot of emotion and can't help but want to say a few words."

"Didn't your old battalion commander say that you can click it casually. In fact, you are just a little unlucky, or you can say that you are too lucky. In short... forget it, don't say it's unlucky.

"Chen Fei said as he said that he could not continue, how could he say it?

The runway takeoff line, the two-wheeled J-11b aircraft of Han Hongjun and Li Zixin began to slide. After slid for more than 700 meters, they lifted the nose and left the ground. Their airplane had a lot of oil, so they took off first.

Wait in the training airspace.

"Let's go, no matter what, first look at the result of the stick fighting with J-11, and then simulate the commonly used tactics of F-16 to fight once."

Li Zhan controlled his excitement and boarded the cockpit of the No. 12 J-10a.
