Yes, the two "True Dragon 2" currently in the hands of Pakistan, no, they should be called jzb-119. Compared with the original "True Dragon 2", the performance has been reduced by more than half.
Take the original "True Dragon 2" as an example. The aircraft uses a fuselage structure and aerodynamic shape designed with static instability technology, and uses full-power digital fly-by-wire control to control the impact of static instability on the fuselage stall.
?While obtaining superior maneuverability, the safety of the aircraft is ensured.
When it comes to the jzb-119, the statically unstable technology has been greatly discounted. Except for a few parts retaining some fur, the entire aircraft is equipped with corresponding center of gravity counterweights, so that the original statically unstable design has been changed to statically stable.
The maneuverability is not even a little worse than the original "True Dragon 2" demonstrator. At the same time, the payload has also been reduced a lot, from the maximum bomb load of 3,000 kilograms to the current 2,200 kilograms or so.
The engine has also been castrated. The "True Dragon 2"'s wd-44s turbofan engine with afterburning thrust has been replaced by a wd-42p small bypass ratio turbofan engine.
Although they also have afterburner thrust, the combined thrust of the two wd-42p is only 6.3 tons, which makes the maximum flight speed of the jzb-119 only Mach 1.2, which is far lower than the world's mainstream light combat aircraft of the same type.
As for the avionics system, landing gear, structural materials, etc., they are all simplified to varying degrees.
It is no exaggeration to say that jzb-119 is the eunuch castrated version of "True Dragon 2".
But this change cannot be said to be without merit. At least the reliability and safety of jzb-119 are many levels higher than that of "True Dragon 2".
After all, the "True Dragon 2", which is built with various advanced technologies, was born for verification. There are many internal uncertain risks. During more than a year of test flights, there was no major accident involving a plane crash. Surges, abnormal noises, and jitters occur from time to time, so if you sell it with the "True Dragon 2", it is estimated that the pilots will be scared to death as soon as they get into the sky, and there will be no way to open up the market.
Because of this, it is indeed a feasible way to reduce the configuration, modify or even castrate the vehicle to improve reliability and safety and gain market recognition.
After all, Ascendas Group has never said what kind of fighter jet the jzb-119 is, and has always only claimed that it is an advanced trainer aircraft.
Since it is an advanced training aircraft, it is understandable that the performance level is lower. After all, it is not a real battlefield and a front-line thing.
If we just honestly talk about the real performance of the jzb-119, Gu Jingyou and others will not do this. Anyway, it is true and it should be like this. The problem is that Zhuang Jianye is not like this. He keeps talking about advanced training aircraft, but the performance text gives It's "True Dragon 2". This is no longer selling dog meat with a sheep's head, it's simply selling zombie meat that has been frozen for more than ten years, okay?
But there is no way to refute it, because the tzb-2000 early warning drone has already captured the scene of playing tricks on New Delhi's Su-30mki fighter jets.
"No matter how serious the jzb-119's simple configuration is, it can fool the Su-30mki around. This is ability, this is ability, and no one can refute it.
Even well-informed insiders like Gu Jingyou can't say anything wrong, let alone outsiders like Abdullah and Mahmoud. The jzb-119 is just an unfinished body at the advanced trainer level and has the ability to compete with the Su-30mki. The capabilities of such a heavy fighter.
If this is accomplished, as Zhuang Jianye said, and replaced with an engine with greater thrust, using more advanced high-end aviation materials, coupled with powerful Doppler radar and modern avionics equipment, the American F-22 may not be able to compete. , apart from that, if one of them counts as one, shouldn¡¯t he be able to beat him as much as he wants?
"So, I define our jzb-119 as a growth aircraft. What is a growth aircraft? It's like cultivating a landscape tree. If we want it to grow, we need to fertilize, remove insects, water, and prune it. Only in this way can we grow into the beautiful appearance we need.
This is the case with the jzb-119. Nowadays, it is just a high-end trainer aircraft, but it has shown great potential to compete with heavy fighters such as the Su-30mki. This proves that the jzb-119 is a rare good seedling"
As he said that, Zhuang Jianye paused. He didn't mean to show off, but he was really tired after talking a lot. He took a breath, drank some water, picked up the tea cup next to him, and drank the tea in it slowly but urgently. Zhuang Jianye then cleared his throat and continued: "Since your two highnesses are friends of Zarif, they are my friends, Zhuang Jianye. I have always been honest with my friends. Our business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness. No matter whether your two highnesses are It¡¯s not that we are interested in jzb-119, anyway, our Ascendas Group will continue to develop it.¡±
Speaking, Zarve, who was at the next side: "Zarve has been looking for the development plan to join JZB -119, and hopes to build a factory in Pakistan "
At this moment, Zarif was drinking tea, but when he heard Zhuang Jianye's words, he almost spit out a mouthful of water.
He said to himself, "Zhuang Jianye, you're a scammer, it's enough for me to help you connect the dots. What's going on?" Do you really want to involve Pakistan?
Don¡¯t even open your eyes and take a look, jzb-119 is as advanced as wool!
Playing with the Su-30mki is just a matter of deceiving tycoons like Abdullah and Mahmoud who don¡¯t understand the actual situation. How can it be deceived by a senior enemy like Pakistan, which has been confronting New Delhi for many years?
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you can win a hundred battles. Do you, Zhuang Jianye, really think that Pakistan doesn¡¯t know what the Su-30mki fighter jet produced by Hindustan Aeronautics is like?
Or do you still think it¡¯s glorious that the Pakistan Air Force, which used the supply of special equipment for Pakistan¡¯s long-range launch vehicles to upgrade, was able to test the performance of two JZB-119s?
Why don¡¯t you, Zhuang Jianye, have any ideas? You have gone too far in deceiving the local tycoons, and you have begun to become indistinguishable between ourselves and the enemy?
"However, Zarif thinks about this in his mind, but he can't even kill him if he really wants to say it. As the saying goes, he has the shortest hand. That person has short hands and gets so many profit kickbacks (agency fees) every year.
Otherwise, you can easily complete the highlights of the Indian foot Su -30mki at high light. This is not the result of Zarif, an insider, desperately trying to make money.
So at this time, being roasted by Zhuang Jianye on the fire, Zarif was really in pain but still showed an excited smile. He forced himself to swallow the tea in his mouth, coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then nodded repeatedly: " No, we have been thinking about how to join the jzb-119 project, because our air force has a very high evaluation of this aircraft model. Your two highnesses also saw it just now. The two jzb-119s are flown by active pilots of our air force. so¡¡"
With that said, Zarif looked at Zhuang Jianye with a solemn expression: "My dear Zhuang, just open up the jzb-119 project. Although we in Pakistan are not rich, we can still afford R&D funding of two to three hundred million US dollars." of."
