    The J-10 Super Raptor has proven its powerful combat capabilities and has also won the favor of the air force who were still idle in this era.

    Qi Yiming has accumulated 48 J-10 Super Raptor fighter jets at the Dalinol base. Because of the special nature of the high-tech branch of the Air Force, he has retained a full complement of ground staff and pilots at the air command base.

    After Qi Yiming met with the senior officials, the senior officials gave him greater freedom and trust, so in addition to the 24 fighters assigned to the Air Force, Qi Yiming was able to retain an aviation fleet of 24 fighters at the Dalinol base.  Establish a regiment to protect the security of the base.  What's more, deploying fighter planes near the Xilingol League is itself a defense of the sky for the capital.

    Wang Hai took away not only 24 fighter jets, skilled ground service technicians, and flight instructors, but also several weapons that Qi Yiming had specially prepared with the current two-mountain battle in mind.

    The second most important fighter aircraft after the J-10 is the JH-7 Flying Leopard fighter.  Although the development of the world's air force will gradually shift to the development of multi-purpose aircraft, full-time fighter-bomber fighters such as the Su-24 and JH-7 are becoming more and more limited, while fighters such as the Su-30 and F-15E  Opportunities slowly took hold.  However, for China, Feibao still has an inexpensive, easy-to-use and cheap ground attack weapon.

    This fighter was studied as an alternative to the H-5 in 1973. At that time, the main choice was between the Qiang-6 from Nanfei, the H-7 from Xifei, and the JH-8 from Shenfei.  At that time, because Shenyang Aircraft could not keep up with the progress of the J-8II, the JH-8 was not launched immediately. The Q-6 was due to insufficient design capabilities and the adoption of a large number of new technologies. The aircraft was overweight and could not fly.

    XAC was developed based on the introduction of the Rolls-Royce Spey engine's domestically produced turbofan-9 Qinling engine. It actually made its first flight in 1988 and entered PLA service in the mid-1990s.  At that time, there was a little allusion to the battle between sea and air. The Air Force wanted to connect seats in parallel. This was based on the performance of low-altitude and high-speed penetration. It was interested in two pilots sitting side by side, with a wide field of vision, and the two could share dashboard data and interact with each other.  Cooperation, but HNA mainly uses weapons such as anti-ship missiles to carry out attacks. It needs to add a weapons controller to control the air-to-ship missile weapon system, so it hopes to use a tandem two-seater.

    This project was discontinued in 1985 and restarted the next year.  Qi Yiming didn't have to go through these twists and turns when he returned from time travel, and directly brought the complete JH-7A over.

    Although the Feibao fighter-bomber is known as the fourth generation (new standard), it actually has the body of a second or third generation fighter. This is also related to the limited conditions and insufficient design level at the time.  Although it was designed for low-altitude bombing, in fact, it was good at low-altitude penetration, but its low-altitude subsonic maneuverability was poor, and flight accidents occurred frequently.  Fortunately, after the new century, it gradually shifted to low-altitude penetration and used precision-guided weapons to attack outside the defense zone. The shortcomings at low altitude and low speed were slightly corrected, so that this fighter can still take the lead.

    The JH-7A sent by Qi Yiming has a maximum weapon payload of 9 tons and has the ability to launch different series of guided weapons such as LS, LT and FT.  The aerodynamic shape has been fine-tuned to enhance some low-altitude and low-speed performance.  The biggest feature is the improvement of avionics equipment such as a complete and advanced terrain matching system, the installation of a comprehensive military data link, and a more powerful mission computer.

    There are a total of 24 Feibao JH-7s in the first batch. Qi Yiming hopes that Wang Hai will send them to the southwest border to join the border operations against the Vietnamese.  This group of JH-7s with precision-guided weapon attack capabilities can provide military rabbits with excellent air close support capabilities even in the tangled battle for high ground, making it easier to implement battlefield interdiction activities in this area.  Son.  The 9-ton bomb load is larger than the H-5 and H-6 currently in service. The precision guidance capability allows frontline soldiers to call for air support at any time and remove the bullet like a scalpel.  of enemies.

    In order to build a more complete coordination system for the air-land battle, Qi Yiming also allocated the barracks' light weapons production capacity to the production data link terminal.  When the time comes, TG's infantry will be able to use data links to communicate with air support and defeat the Vietnamese.

    The Vietnamese also trained a number of good pilots after the Vietnam War and the invasion of Cambodia. The main fighters they used were the Mig-21 and Su-22. Both of these fighters are second-generation aircraft. The Su-22 is still an attack aircraft. Even if it is  No matter how good the pilot is, he is still not good enough when facing the JH-7.  After all, according to the new algorithm, the JH-7 is two generations higher than the Mig-21, which is responsible for air superiority, and also has the capability of large overload.  Although its maneuverability is inferior compared to that of the J-10, it is much better than the second-generation aircraft that can fly forward with a dull head.

    The Flying Leopard is not a Mig-21 with air intake in the nose. The nose is equipped with an extremely excellent Doppler pulse radar. It is not a problem to detect the enemy first and attack it first.  What's more, the JH-7 has the ability to launch active mid-range bombs. Even if it carries two mid-range bombs, it will still have some results if it is shot and run.

    This is only the first batch??Flying Leopards, the next batch Qi Yiming also plans to send them to the southwest to form an aviation group's Flying Leopards. The 48 Flying Leopards will form a huge fire suppression network, and they can even make guest appearances as fighter jets and be bullied to the point of tears.  The Vietnamese are fighting an air battle. This kind of battle should not be too easy.

    Qi Yiming believes that when the Feibao begins to show its fangs, the Air Force and Hainan Airlines will also raise it to a status similar to the J-10 and use it as the main fighter of the Air Force and Hainan Airlines.  Qi Yiming now thinks about it. The 1980s was the time when the Flying Leopard was at its most impressive. Its ground attack was brutal and terrifying. In air combat, it could bully the second and third generation aircraft that are now generally mainstream. The price was still outrageously cheap.  How could this not be satisfying?

    These two fighters will be the main weapons of the Chinese Air Force in the first stage. Some people may ask why a medium-sized multi-purpose fighter and a fighter-bomber were selected, but there was no heavy air superiority fighter.  Qi Yiming also has his own considerations here. He does have the technical information for producing the J-11, but after all, this thing is a copycat of Maozi. Maozi is using it now, and suddenly there are rabbits too. Maozi must have to tear off his testicles himself.  .  War of words is the most troublesome, and flanker is not necessarily Qi Yiming's best choice.

    Frankly speaking, although the J-10 is a medium-sized aircraft equipped with an AESA radar, excellent aerodynamic layout, and complete weapon systems, it can outperform heavy air superiority fighters such as the F-15 and Su-27.  When it comes to over-the-horizon combat, the Super Raptor has an active phased array radar, which can spot the enemy first and can attack multiple targets. When it comes to close-range combat, it also has absolutely sensitive maneuverability, which gives it a certain advantage.  It is said that many countries are only equipped with medium-sized fighters and no heavy-duty aircraft. They inject one of the five gangsters from Britain and France, and they do not use medium-sized aircraft such as Rafale and Typhoon.

    Qi Yiming also has plans to fly heavy-duty air superiority fighters, but they are not flankers.  He is now waiting for his base to be upgraded and after the combat laboratory is opened, he can once again master the manufacturing capabilities of a batch of new technologies and new weapons.  At this time, he had a choice. The Black Hawk fighter whose forward swept wing was inexplicably assigned to Nanbang was a twin-engine heavy-duty air superiority fighter.  Qi Yiming checked the information and found that this Black Hawk fighter is actually more like the Su-47 Golden Eagle. It has a magazine that can hold two medium-range bombs or one 500-kg bomb. The forward-swept wings give it extremely powerful  Strong subsonic maneuverability and smooth subsonic conversion performance.

    This terrible fighter has a maximum payload of about 10 tons, and it also has a certain stealth effect. As a fighter against the F-15, it seems a bit too luxurious. Even when facing the F-22, it is not necessarily at a disadvantage.  .

    Another option is the MiG fighter in the Red Alert 3 series. This MiG is not like the MiG-21 or MiG-29. It also uses dual engines with high thrust. It is characterized by a good aerodynamic layout.  The maneuverability is good, but it is worse than the Black Hawk fighter in terms of range and bomb load.  The advantage is that the fuselage is very light but has good defensive performance, and the Matryoshka air-to-air missile used has significant lethality.

    Qi Yiming still prefers to choose the Black Hawk fighter in the future. In terms of price, the price of the Black Hawk, which is closer to the contemporary era, does not use many new technologies, but the MiG fighter, which does not have a significant increase in combat power, is more expensive. On the contrary  Be cheaper.

    With the exception of main battle aircraft, Qi Yiming has not included transport aircraft, bombers, and special aircraft in its mass production plans.  On the contrary, helicopters and drones that can be quickly involved in the next round of battle between the two mountains are more favored by Qi Yiming.

    The helicopters chosen were Z-9 Dolphin and Z-20, but no armed helicopters were chosen.  At this stage, general aviation helicopters play a greater role. The Vietnam People's Army lacks countermeasures in the theater, so armed versions of the Z-9G and Z-20 equipped with rocket nests and 30mm cannons can suppress the Vietnamese.

    The role of drones during this period is also significant.  Qi Yiming mainly produces CH-802 army hand-thrown reconnaissance drones, CH-3 integrated reconnaissance and attack drones and ASN-109 general-purpose drones.  There is still a big trouble here. These drones more or less require the support of Beidou satellites, otherwise the mission failure rate will be relatively high. Of course, GPS is also universal, but it cannot be used for a lifetime. It can be implemented in the combat laboratory.  Previously, the Beidou system could not start construction.  Fortunately, more common methods such as laser guidance can still effectively attack the enemy.

    The use of drones is mainly due to the complex terrain conditions when fighting Vietnam, which brings various troubles to combat. Therefore, drones equipped with synthetic aperture radar, thermal imagers and other reconnaissance equipment will make the Vietnamese army helpless in the jungle.  They can hide everywhere, and the CH-3 with AR-1 missiles can carry out targeted clearing of them.  These drones can also provide the Army with more detailed and conclusive intelligence, eliminating the need to send out large numbers of reconnaissance brigades and risk casualties and casualties.  In addition, UAVs with guidance pods can also complete relay guidance assistance for the Flying Leopards performing ground strike missions, improving combat effectiveness.
