Volume 1 025 Iran Inspection Group

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the Iranians do not believe that China has developed advanced fighter jets, it is also worth working hard to enhance relations with China and even gradually affect China's military output.  During this period, the Chinese military factories basically received no orders from their own country, and their largest customers were from Iraq and Iran.  The ordnance they manufacture does not have much technical content, and is mainly weapons such as the simple-to-use Type 69-II tanks and Type 63 rocket launchers.

    Another characteristic of the weapons sold by China is that they are basically imitation Soviet weapons. The Type 69 tank is derived from the Type 59 and captured T-62 tank technology. The Silkworm missile that was so popular during the war is derived from the Soviet Union's MSP.  He anti-ship missile, F-7 evolved from the MiG-21. The only one that can be considered purely self-produced is the Type 63 107mm rocket launcher, which is known as one of the world's three major conventional weapons.

    Ironically, one of the few early self-produced weapons of China, the king of copycats, was eventually copied by many countries, and appeared again and again in Afghanistan, Syria and other regions, causing a huge headache for Western armies, and it still remains until the 21st century.  It is the "heavy firepower" favored by many guerrillas.

    Within half a week after Qi Yiming finished talking with the Iranian ambassador that night, Iran sent a special inspection team to evaluate and negotiate the plan proposed by China.  This inspection team is basically half soldiers and half politicians. In addition to hoping to see the Xiaolong fighter jet that the Chinese claim can reach 70% of the Tomcat's combat effectiveness, they are also tasked with inspecting other Chinese weapons.

    Qi Yiming naturally couldn't let the Iranians go to the Dalinol base, so he towed four FC-1s produced a few days ago specifically to deal with the Iranians to the Yangcun Military Airport in Tianjin.  This is one of the bases of the 7th Air Force Division of the Beijing Military Region. During the recent replacement, a Flying Leopard fighter jet from an aviation regiment was also installed here.

    This batch of fighters is also newly refitted. After the March 7th battle, the Air Force witnessed the outstanding performance of the Flying Leopard fighters. At the same time, some radicals believe that the Flying Leopards will have no problem coping with medium and low-level air combat, and they have the ability to destroy fighters.  The -10 does not have the ultra-large range, ultra-large bomb load, and outstanding ground and sea attack capabilities. The order for the Flying Leopard fighter should be given priority to the 9527 project rather than the purchase of the J-10 fighter.

    Such a proposal was of course protested by the Air Force. The J-10 is an excellent fighter with high-altitude, high-speed interception and beyond-visual-range attack capabilities. Facing the threat of the Soviet supersonic bombers in the north, more J-10s must be built.  Defending the skies over the country is the more rational choice.  What's more, the J-10 is a multi-mission fighter. Although its bomb load is about two tons smaller than that of the Feibao, it can still complete many ground-attack missions well.

    The internal debate within the Air Force has nothing to do with Qi Yiming. They will arrange the production of which type of fighter they want.  So far, in addition to the Air Force 51 Division still stationed in southern Xinjiang, which has two regiments of Flying Leopards and one regiment of Raptors, the Beijing Military Region has received one regiment of Flying Leopards and one regiment of J-10s, and the Shenyang Military Region and Lanzhou Military Region have each received  One regiment of J-10s was obtained, and the Nanjing Military Region and the Guangzhou Military Region each received one regiment of Flying Leopards.  These more than one hundred new fighters have greatly changed the combat capabilities of the Chinese Air Force.

    When the Iranian delegation entered Yangcun Airport, Qi Yiming, several heads of the Air Force, leaders of the station and diplomats had been waiting for them for a long time.  The leader of this Iranian inspection team is a major general of the Iranian Air Force named Sayyeti.  Judging from the fact that a military personnel is the leader of the inspection team, Iran's consideration of the actual combat value of this matter must be greater than political and diplomatic considerations.  Therefore, if Xiaolong cannot satisfy the Iranians, this business will still fall through.

    This air force major general certainly has professional skills, but his most praised skills are not flying fighter planes or commanding the air force. On the contrary, his ability to flatter and show loyalty is very powerful.  After the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the Air Force, which was originally the most powerful air force in West Asia, suffered a huge blow. A large number of outstanding pilots and technicians either fled to other countries or were directly purged. However, the strength of the remaining Air Force of the Islamic Republic is comparable to that of the Islamic Republic Air Force.  They were completely different from each other before.

    It was by virtue of standing on the right side and resolutely implementing Khomeini's purge policy that Saiyiti secured his position.

    Saiyeti spoke through an interpreter to Qi Yiming who greeted them: "I know that your country has been exporting F-7 fighter jets. Unfortunately, our enemies are equipped with nearly a hundred fighters produced by your country. Although it has caused us  It has caused some trouble, but even when compared with fighters such as F-4 and F-5, the F-7 is not enough. If your country wants to replace it with the F-14 in our hands, then I am afraid it will have to come up with a better one.  Things are here. Oh, let me state in advance that even if you upgrade the F-7, we will not use it."

    Sensing the distrust of the Iranians, Qi Yiming didn't take it seriously. He just stretched out his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Major General, please take a look. There is no J-7 in this airport, so if you want to take a look,  J-7, I¡¯m afraid it can¡¯t satisfyThat's enough for you.  The J-7 is already our country's previous generation product. Because of its low price and mature performance, we now mainly sell this fighter aircraft to underdeveloped third world countries.  And we have begun to gradually withdraw the J-7 and the J-8 of the same generation, and the J-6 of the previous generation from active service.  "

    Although Saiyeti is not an expert on Chinese military weapons, he also knows that the J-8 is clearly a weapon that has been equipped by China for a long time. Now, the person in charge said that China will gradually withdraw it from active service. It is simply unimaginable.  .  Seyeti secretly felt that this was a lie from the Chinese people, but he did not expose it and prepared to visit the plane at the airport.

    Parked on the left and right are different fighter planes. The large column on the left has a large number of them and should be the original troops stationed at this military airport. The fighter planes on the right are smaller, with only four.

    "Is this the FC-1 Xiaolong fighter jet you are planning to provide to our country? It looks a bit like the F-5." Sayeti said with some disappointment.

    Qi Yiming didn't know how the Iranian Air Force major general connected Xiaolong with the freedom fighters. He shook his head and said: "There is a big difference. Xiaolong uses the aerodynamic layout of a new generation of fighters, with large side strips."  The wing has good climbing performance, and the aircraft also uses a medium-thrust turbofan engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 8. Well, this is still stronger than the F-14. Although this is a light fighter, it is extremely attractive.  The most eye-catching advantages are, first of all, its excellent avionics system. Although the new Doppler pulse radar we have installed is small, its power is not much inferior to the AGW-9 of the F-14. I think it is even better.  The best part is that this fighter not only has four degrees of fly-by-wire control, but also has a very intuitive cockpit design with a flat-panel display with three levels. It is easy to operate and the pilot only needs to hold the joystick to complete almost all tasks.  ¡±

    Sayeti nodded. He didn't know how much he heard. Instead, he pointed to a row of flying leopards next to him and asked: "Is this also a fighter jet equipped by your country's air force? It looks like it should be bigger and more powerful than the FC-1.  Ah, why don¡¯t you give us this aircraft?¡±

    "This is the JH-7 Flying Leopard fighter of the Chinese Air Force. It is a heavy fighter-bomber. It is not a pure fighter. It is completely different from the main mission of the F-14. It is mainly used for ground-to-sea bombing. Although it has air combat capabilities, Yes, but it is still inferior to the F-14 and F-15 of the same generation, and even compared to medium-sized aircraft such as the F-16. Of course, it is inferior to the F-4, F-5 or Mig. Second-generation aircraft like the -21 can still win easily, because the Flying Leopard also has the capability of beyond visual range air combat. This fighter has a range of more than 4,000 kilometers with an auxiliary fuel tank, which is more suitable for a country with a vast territory and long sea frontier like my country. It can carry nine tons of ammunition, which is basically more powerful than some relatively early bombers, and it also has the ability to strike accurately. "

    After hearing this, Saiyeti nodded repeatedly and said: "This fighter plane is good. It can carry nine tons of bombs. Your country must plan to use it to carry nuclear weapons."

    Qi Yiming couldn't help but sweat: "Although it has such capabilities, we should not use Feibao as a nuclear carrier."

    "Why don't you fly these two fighters and give us a look." Saiyeti suggested.

    Qi Yiming didn't care that the Iranians were attracted to Feibao, because Feibao originally had an export version of the FBC-1 model in later generations, but this thing is really not a weapon that small countries dare to use. The firepower is too powerful and the attack attributes are obvious, so  It is not considered a mainstream weapon, so the export number has always been 0.

    "I would like to remind you that the price of a Feibao fighter is twice that of the Xiaolong. If you want to replace the Feibao, our business will have to be renegotiated."

    "I know, please arrange a flight show for us." Saiyeti said nonchalantly.

    The entire visit and assessment project arranged for the inspection team starts with the flight show.  Two senior pilots produced at the base will demonstrate the specific flight performance of the fighter aircraft to the Iraqi side.  Although the Flying Leopard was temporarily added to the team, fortunately the pilot also had the ability to fly the J-7, so there was no problem at all.

    The first one to be displayed was the Xiaolong, which Qi Yiming wanted to sell the most. As usual, this demonstration aircraft did not mount any weapons on the wings in order to pursue maximum drag reduction.  After sliding a short distance from the runway, the Xiaolong took off and entered the sky.

    At this time, a lieutenant colonel of the Iranian Air Force exclaimed: "Such a short take-off distance, not even 500 meters, right?"

    Qi Yiming explained with a smile: "The takeoff of the FC-1 when fully loaded is only more than 600 meters. Today's performance did not hang weapons and all the fuel, so it can get up at about 400 to 500 meters."

    People in the Iranian Air Force are talking a lot. Although the short take-off distance is not a particularly important indicator, it still has certain practical value.  On short runways with poor conditions, or under severe conditionsIn order to attack the runways that cannot be fully utilized, fighter aircraft such as F-4 and F-14 cannot take off at all, but the Xiaolong can take off freely, which is a practical advantage.
