    At the end of April, the first batch of 12 FC-1 Xiaolong fighters ordered by Pakistan took off from Chengdu, flew over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, stopped in Lhasa, and finally arrived in Pakistan.  Pakistan showed great enthusiasm and excitement for the arrival of Xiaolong and held a grand welcome ceremony.

    Because Xiaolong¡¯s total order quantity has reached more than 300 aircraft, even though Chengdu Aircraft has expanded its production capacity and stopped producing other types of aircraft and non-aerospace products, coupled with Qi Yiming¡¯s great help, the annual output has just reached 100  The look of a rack.  In the second half of last year, Chengdu Aircraft completed the production and manufacturing of the last 30 Xiaolongs in Iran, but not all were delivered at once.  This year's production plan is mainly arranged to complete Pakistan's 50 orders. Orders from Nanbang will also be inserted this year. New orders from Saudi Arabia will not start production until 1987.

    It is different from the US model of selling F-16s to Pakistan. China provides Pakistan with a complete set of facilities and provides training services in Pakistan.  Therefore, 8 of these 12 Xiaolongs are two-seat aircraft, which is convenient for Chinese instructors to train Pakistani pilots.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    General Jamal excitedly shook Li Zefan's hand and kept saying in English: "With FC-1, the strength of our air force will definitely be significantly improved. I really appreciate the help of our Chinese brothers!"

    Li Zefan just smiled earnestly and said: "Where is it?"

    He pointed to a group of serious-looking pilots and said: "These dozen pilots are all flight instructors who have recently returned from Iran. They have experience in flying Xiaolong pilots. Haha, some of them have even helped Iran fight.  The service concept of our Chinese defense enterprises is to serve the needs of our customers, not to mention the strong and profound friendship between China and Pakistan. If necessary, it is our duty to help Pakistan defend its airspace sovereignty!¡±

    It is taboo to participate in other people's wars, but this taboo is often broken.  The person who does this most often is the Soviet Union. Because it has been keen on exporting revolution and supporting pro-Soviet third world countries, the Soviet Union has dispatched a large number of pilots abroad, from the Korean War to the Vietnam War, and even during the Angola Civil War and Egypt.  There are also Maozi pilots on occasions such as the Eritrean War.

    Originally, China adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and let its pilots fight other people's wars. Not to mention the possible losses, the trouble alone was enough to cause a headache.  But because Qi Yiming was in urgent need of experience points, he had to launch the service of selling planes and sending pilots with great fanfare. Although these pilots represented other countries, their achievements were all based on Qi Yiming's experience points.  When Qi Yiming elevated this matter to the level of the country's development and destiny, the higher-ups had no choice but to agree to his move.

    ¡°I just had to think of a good excuse to do such a thing, so after-sales service launched such a project.

    Jamal, of course, thanked him repeatedly and added: "In recent days, the Soviet army and the puppet Afghan regime have caused more and more serious nuisances to our borders and airspace. On the 19th of last month, the Soviet army and the Afghan army bombed our country  On the 10th of this month, the Soviet army began to attack Tani again under heavy bombing by the air force. On the 12th and 16th before your arrival, we had two more encounters with the Soviet and Afghan air forces.  War. Excitingly, we achieved victory by shooting down a Soviet MiG-21 in the second air battle.¡±

    Li Zefan expressed congratulations to the Pakistan Air Force, but he had to ask a question: "So how is the performance of the J-6 used by your country?"

    As soon as this question came out, Jamal and other air force personnel seemed a little embarrassed.  The fighter planes that have been on duty in the border airspace are actually J-6s. However, in the air battle on the 12th, three J-6s fired missiles continuously in the face of two enemy planes. Either the missiles went towards the sun, or they were  Because the J-6, a transsonic fighter, could not catch up with the enemy, the missiles could not enter the range. In the end, Pakistan had no choice but to transfer Mirage III and Mirage 5.

    General Jamal was very wise and replied playfully: "The J-6 has made great contributions to our maintenance of national airspace security. It is a good fighter aircraft that is very suitable for our army."

    Li Zefan didn't fully understand it, but Wang Yingong and others over there roughly guessed what happened. The J-6 was no longer capable of being used as a main fighter in the 1980s. Facing the MiG-21, MiG  -23 and other fighters, belonging to a generation of semi-transonic fighters, it is difficult for the J-6 to form any advantages.

    Wang Yinggong also sighed in his heart. Originally, the J-6 was also the main fighter aircraft in China, but now the Air Force has even taken down all the J-7s. Thousands of J-6s were either sent to unknown places for dismantling, or distributed to various places.  As an attraction in the small park, anywayThe Air Force won't even look at it.

    Jamal pointed at a row of mighty-looking dragons and said with a smile: "I believe that the dragons will bring glory to our air force!"

    Pakistan hosted a banquet for the Chinese personnel who came, and the representative of Shenghua Group also gave Qi Yiming feedback about the J-6 situation that Jamal and a group of Pakistani Air Force generals had today.  Qi Yiming smiled after receiving the report. A large number of J-6s had indeed no use in the country, and there was no need to even seal them. This was done considering the strong production capacity of Qi Yiming's base.  decision.  It would be great to seal up J-10s that are no longer needed, but sealing them up would take up space.

    In order to appease North Korea, Ping Taizong threw dozens of J-6s to Kim Il Sung. Later, he thought this was a good idea and withdrew 200 J-6s, specifically intending to use them for military assistance.  Also with the same fate were the strong -5s. Most of them were recovered, and a small amount were left behind to prepare for military reinforcements.  On the contrary, more than 500 J-7s and less than 100 J-8s were assigned to Qi Yiming. After a round of modifications, they will be mainly used for export and storage.

    Qi Yiming was very attentive and took these seven and eight masters to his repair shop at the red police base, and carried out some upgrades and modifications.  Among them, equipment such as DC power supplies and rangefinders that have been eliminated have also been replaced with relatively rudimentary avionics systems.  The newly modified J-7 and J-8 actually adopt a unified configuration and are equipped with electronic equipment such as fire control radar, fire control computer, identify friend or foe, and new sights, allowing both to launch PL-5E  Short-range missiles have limitedly improved combat capabilities.

    Qi Yiming finished modifying a batch of J-7s, and AVIC and AVIC sold 12 of them to Sudan at a unit price of US$4 million. Because they were second-hand aircraft used by the PLA, although they had been modified, the price was still high.  Place it lower.  This money was basically earned in vain. The Air Force and the enterprise split it half and half, and Qi Yiming didn't even get any hard-earned money.

    He doesn¡¯t mind not having any money, but it¡¯s the most annoying thing when you play games without your own skills.

    This time, Minibus said that there were not enough J-6s. Qi Yiming, in the spirit of a responsible ally, immediately asked Minibus through relevant channels: "There are not enough J-6s, how about some new ones? The J-6 retired by PLA  8, a total of 82 aircraft, and will be leased to you for a nominal US$8 million per year. In addition, we also support trade-in, and the J-6 can be exchanged for a J-8 at a discount of 50%. This opportunity is precious, so don¡¯t miss it!¡±

    After learning about Qi Yiming¡¯s unreliable behavior, Liao Huairen came to ask him why he did it.

    Qi Yiming said matter-of-factly: "Pakistan is our most precious ally. Is it an ally of an ally? Supporting and strengthening Pakistan will be of great benefit to us in the future when we recruit our younger brothers. Others will see how little Ba is doing."  How about, just think of us as big brothers, the popular ones. To be honest, I don¡¯t think the 82 early J-8s in my hand can be sold, so just be a favor and earn 8 million US dollars a year.  At the very least, it can make investments, stimulate the national economy, or provide benefits to workers. As for the J-6 trade-in, I admit it is a bad idea. Anyway, the crushing crane crushed two J-6s.  We can produce a J-8. We price the J-8 at 6 million, and they exchange it for a J-8 at a 50% discount. Basically, they exchange three J-6s for one blunt-nosed J-8. This is equivalent to making money for me.  If you save the materials for a J-6, you can get a J-10 by collecting four of them. In the end, it¡¯s still a profit.¡±

    After listening to Qi Yiming¡¯s explanation, Liao Huairen¡¯s head hurt from his complicated thoughts. He could only say: ¡°Just think it¡¯s appropriate. Alas, I can¡¯t control you.¡±

    This proposal was put on the desk of Pakistan, which surprised and delighted the Pakistan Air Force.  There are 82 J-8s with relatively complete avionics systems and PL-5E combat missiles that are not inferior to the AIM-9M\/L. However, in terms of its flight speed of Mach 2.2, it is much lower than what it is now.  The J-6, which can only eat dust from enemy aircraft, is much used.

    It¡¯s just that Pakistan doesn¡¯t quite understand. Most of these J-8s have only been in service for a few years. Why do Chinese brothers look down on them?  Logically speaking, even if China has mastered the manufacturing technology of new advanced fighters, maintaining a certain scale of old fighters as a transition is an inevitable choice.  Internationally, there are rumors that China has installed more than 100 advanced fighter jets, but this should not make the Chinese ignore the existing national defense risks and take this step.

    Or maybe the J-8 itself has serious flaws, which forced the Chinese to give up and eventually developed the STOVL model of the J-8V.  Unfortunately, they don't know. Apart from their names, these two aircraft are called J-8, but in fact they are not similar at all.

    In order to facilitate the inspection by Pakistan, Qi Yiming specially dispatched several J-8s and flew them directly to Pakistan for their inspection.  After a period of time, Pakistan came to the conclusion that although its combat capabilities were not comparable to those of the FC-1, it was not a problem at all to kill the J-6 or confront aircraft such as the MiG-21 and MiG-23 head-on.  It is also cheaper to maintain than the F-16 and FC-1, making it suitable for underdeveloped countries like them.

    ? ?Although I was puzzled, it would be a bastard not to take advantage of it. Pakistan immediately initialed an agreement with the representatives of Shenghua Group who were still in Pakistan. In June, all 82 J-8s were transferred to Pakistan.  .  Later, after receiving unanimous praise from Pakistani pilots, the minibus sent all the J-6s back to China in exchange for 78 J-8 Fin Whales.

    Eventually, Pakistan formed a fleet of 160 aerial aircraft and became the only country in the world operating J-8 fighters.
