Chapter 769 A different tail nozzle
In fact, the commentator just described this air formation as a "domestic new generation fighter jet."
Perhaps most of those who can be invited to watch the ceremony do not understand the air force, let alone aviation.
But you must be able to understand the situation.
Be clearer about the significance of national defense modernization.
Despite this timeline, the Balkan crisis in the first half of the year was properly resolved in a dramatic way and did not cause much turmoil in China.
Even so, there are not just one or two things that people will remember in the entire 1990s.
Especially during the period at the beginning of 1996, although the public reports in the news were about the exercises being conducted in the southeast, and they were not very straightforward, everyone basically knew what happened and why the exercises were conducted. .
It's only been less than four years, so it's not easy to forget.
The scale of this military parade was specially increased. To a certain extent, it was actually a response to what happened that year.
So much so that after being promoted, I couldn't write a single article for half a month.
“Hey, okay, okay…”
Now it is time to catch up with important events such as the 50th anniversary of the National Day, otherwise the two "senior" figures would rarely appear in person.
In the media area further forward than the viewing platform, a young reporter with a staff nameplate was holding a camera and wanted to put his entire face into the viewfinder.
Compared to the exercise that year, it was more restrained.
Qin Chengbang, known as Xiao Qin, was reluctant to change the camera—
“Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin?”
For those who know the industry but don't have much access to inside information (referred to as stinking military fans), today's wave can already be called a gluttonous feast.
As a result, this section really made him top-notch, and he even published an additional bi-monthly magazine in the form of a picture album. Although the price is not low, the circulation has still hit new highs repeatedly.
Behind him, a slightly older middle-aged reporter looked at the next three-machine formation flying over from a distance, and took a picture of his companion who still insisted on pointing the camera above his head:
but more powerful.
However, this wave of promotions is hard for Liu Jianshe to explain.
“The next formation is coming, stop taking pictures of the ones in front!”
Fortunately, Liu Jianshe was quite self-aware. After realizing that something was wrong, he quickly transferred Qin Chengbang to a formal post and made him his subordinate.
Those are J-10s, or two.
There is a sense of déjà vu as “an exhibition of the results of four years of efforts in military construction”.
Even if you can't understand it, you can still feel a sense of confidence from it combined with the majestic military music and the sonorous and powerful voice of the narrator.
If Chang Haonan was nearby at this time, he might still remember that these two people were the media duo he met at the first Xiangzhou Air Show.
Three years later, Qin Chengbang, who was just an intern at the time, has long since become a full-time employee. Liu Jianshe, the senior who led him, also took off because of his ability to seize the opportunity. He was promoted by the editor-in-chief to specialize in international situations and military affairs. He became one of several deputy editors in the newspaper.
Even Qin Chengbang was promoted to the position of deputy editor at the beginning of the year and gradually turned to behind-the-scenes work.
His "accurate prediction" of the emergence of the J-8C back then was a complete failure of a blind cat and a dead mouse. In fact, he was a complete layman in this regard.
Qin Chengbang, who usually surfs the Internet intensively, has been paying attention to this model since its first flight the year before last.
A third-generation fighter jet completely independently designed and developed by China.
It can be said that every move affects the hearts of countless people.
But in the past, if you wanted to take photos, you had to take great risks and go to the 132 factory to work as a gangster.
And it's also a matter of luck.
After all, test flights are not conducted every day.
Qin Chengbang has always wanted to publish a column about the J-10, and he has even written about the content, comprehensively analyzing and estimating the design features and performance levels of this model.
The final conclusion is that it is fully comparable to the F16, with only slight shortcomings in multi-purpose performance.
It is speculated that it may enter military service before 2005 and eventually become one of the main models of the Chinese Air Force.
It is conceivable that this article will be a big seller.
Just because I was not sure whether the policy would allow it and because I didn't have very good photos, I was never able to publish it.
However, this time, the J-10 was directly and openly displayed in front of people all over the world, and there were obviously no policy concerns.
As for the photos, he had already taken quite a few of them just now.
It's a pity that the formation of five aircraft is too dense, and it is really impossible to shoot a single aircraft alone.
… However, just at the moment Qin Chengbang's eyes were about to leave the viewfinder.
Five fighter jets have their tails exposed just in front of the camera.
“Wait a minute, wait a minute Brother Liu…there's something wrong with the two planes ahead…”
Qin Chengbang suddenly stopped raising his head.
The air formation is currently flying at low altitude and low speed, and the engine thrust is very low, so there is no dazzling tail flame to interfere with the line of sight.
Hence, he could clearly see under the magnification of a high-power lens that the engines of the last two J-11s were completely different from the first three aircraft.
In addition to the shiny silver color, the bigger difference is that there is no AL31F's iconic convergence adjustment tab.
appears to be fixed.
In addition, the color displayed inside the spout is also slightly different.
After discovering this, Qin Chengbang's whole body trembled with excitement.
Originally, he had no interest in the three J-11s.
The introduction of the Project 11 production line and the domestic production of Su-27 is not a secret among Qin Chengbang's friends and readers.
Although heavy fighter aircraft have stronger overall performance and improvement potential, they are still producing other people's products anyway.
From a news perspective, it is certainly not as topical as the J-10.
But now, the situation seems to be different...
The J-11, or at least the latter two J-11s, does not seem to be a simple copy of the Su-27SK.
“Is it not the Su-27SK that is being produced locally, but a new model?”
Qin Chengbang's brain was running rapidly.
But soon, he rejected his idea.
Russia did make its first flight of an improved aircraft called the Su-27SM at the beginning of the year, using a brand-new airframe and avionics equipment.
He even wrote a special article in the April issue of the magazine for analysis, believing that it may be a signal that the Su-27 will shift from pure air superiority to multi-purpose.
But the engine of the Su-27SM is still the AL31F series, and there is no significant change in appearance compared to the old model.
In fact, Qin Chengbang did not remember any Russian-made engine that used a similar tail nozzle.
Instead, it is the M53 engine on the Mirage 2000, which has similar characteristics.
But the size obviously doesn't match.
Two engines with a thrust of less than 9 tons obviously cannot push an aircraft of the size of the J-11.
so…
After eliminating all the wrong answers, there is only one truth left—
These two aircraft are likely to be equipped with a new type of domestic engine that has never appeared in the past.
Being able to fly an aircraft equipped with a domestic engine on a military parade undoubtedly shows that the performance and stability of this model have at least reached a usable level...
While thinking about it, Qin Chengbang was so stunned at the military parade that he even forgot that there were several formations behind him that needed to be photographed.
“Alas...you...”
Seeing that Qin Chengbang didn't listen to his words at all, Liu Jianshe looked worried:
"This is the National Day military parade! What problems can there be with the plane? If there is a problem, it is not our turn to see it..."
The only set of professional equipment was in the hands of Qin Chengbang. The latter did not dare to grab it, so he had to raise the point-and-shoot camera hanging on his wrist and take a few simple photos first.
Normally, their picture album will be released in October at the end of September. This year, it was postponed for half a month just to publish a special issue for the National Day military parade. If the content is missing in the middle, it will become a laughing stock in the industry.
Although the imaging effect of the point-and-shoot camera is average, it can be dealt with after zooming in.
At this time, Qin Chengbang had also come to his senses, turned the camera again, and took two more photos of the formation behind him.
It's just that the angle is slightly different.
Fortunately, this is a support aircraft formation composed of three special aircraft of the Y-8 platform. The Y-8X and Y-8J are nothing new to those who have been paying attention to air force equipment for a long time.
“Just take a look, Brother Liu.”
Taking advantage of the few seconds between the two formations, Qin Chengbang raised his head and rubbed his eyes that were a little sore from being open for a long time:
“When I go back this time, I promise to write a hit article, no less than the one you wrote before the Xiangzhou Air Show!”
When he said this, he had even conceived the title of the new article in his mind:
“Cure “Heart Disease”—A New Generation of Domestic Power to Lift a New Generation of Domestic Fighters”
