A big country of aerospace with black technology

Chapter 257 Ying Jiang’s attention!

After Joel's report was sent to China, no attention was paid to it immediately.

After all, they are the only superpower in the world today.

Think highly of yourself.

They believe that no one can threaten their position.

Although under the pressure of the military-industrial complex, annual military expenditures are still very large, it is difficult to say how much is spent on equipment updates.

"FXXK, those losers!"

Joel angrily threw his cap on the table.

"waste!"

"waste!!!"

"There is no useful information at all!"

"We still need to continue cruising deep into the East China Sea!"

"They don't care about our lives at all!"

Joel's anger was not without reason.

Being stationed overseas is a benefit in itself. After all, few people can threaten them.

Belongs to having more money and less trouble.

Especially a base commander like him.

Life is even more nourishing.

Various supplies flown in from all over the world can fill several warehouses!

But there is a prerequisite for such a life.

That is, no one around can threaten them.

Now there is an invisible god of death hovering around them, how can they still sit still!

Everyone in the base has now canceled their vacations and officially entered a state of combat readiness!

"Those old guys may not know the seriousness of the matter."

The intelligence officer on the side said after pouring a cup of coffee for Joel.

"If they knew the seriousness of the matter, they wouldn't be like this."

After Joel took a sip of coffee to calm down his excitement:

"That 'Ghost Fighter' has recently advanced dozens of nautical miles towards us."

"If this continues, I will probably fly over our airport!"

At this time, the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone has not yet been officially announced, but Shihu and the others have been flying within the scope of the identification zone along the border they patrol.

"Master Marino, you usually pay more attention to this aspect. You can convey your opinions to him!"

The intelligence officer reminded Joel that he could find an old commander he was familiar with.

Marino is a senior executive of the Eagle Air Force and was once an ace in air combat.

Have a good understanding of future air combat tactics and fighter aircraft development.

Joel thought for a while and found that besides General Marino, he couldn't find any reliable way.

"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Marino right away."

Half a world away, it was just dawn in the eastern region where Marino was located.

But Marino had already woken up.

So I didn’t miss Joel’s call from thousands of miles away.

Marino's interest aroused as soon as Joel said "Ghost Fighter."

Nowadays, people in the world who pay attention to the development of future fighter aircraft can hardly help but be curious about this guy who may be a stealth fighter.

"You said this is probably a fourth-generation fighter developed by the Longguo people?"

Marino remains skeptical.

Although Longguo has already demonstrated its strong aviation manufacturing level in the J-10S sold to Pakistan the year before last.

But most people, including Marino, still believe that Longguo's aviation manufacturing industry is not among the top five in the world.

So Joel thinks that they have created a fourth-generation stealth fighter, which is really unbelievable.

But Joel's analysis also makes sense.

"Aside from our allies, they are the only ones in the surrounding area who can fly to this area."

Both Joel and Marino are very clear about the level of the surrounding allies.

After the war, out of the need for ease of control.

None of these allies have complete industrial chains.

Therefore, it is completely impossible for them to develop a fourth-generation stealth fighter!

They even have some trouble developing third-generation fighter jets.

Only by introducing a fighter production license can we produce fighter jets.

"What you said does make some sense."

Marino was sitting in his restaurant, eating breakfast, and said slowly:

"But it's just your dictation. It's hard to convince the people at the Air Force Staff."

Marino himself was only a military adviser to the Air Force Secretariat.

If Joel can't produce tangible evidence, it will be difficult for Marino to help him.

"We've been getting more and more records of contacts lately."

Joel said a little irritably:

"We've had three encounters just in the last week!"

"Sir, do you know."

"Every contact, for our young pilots, means walking under the blade of death!"

"I can transfer all the data of these contact records to you."

Shi Hu and the others were actually quite rough during their patrol.

Normally, for such a fighter jet that may threaten its own airspace.

The first thing is to speak out.

However, Shi Hu and the others are relying on the fact that the two sides have not yet reached a unified understanding in this airspace.

Naturally, a more intense approach is adopted.

This also causes the opponent's pilots to be very scared every time they are locked by missiles.

And in this locked state, no matter how they try to get rid of it, they are like maggots on the tarsal bones and cannot be shaken off at all!

Almost every pilot who encounters a cruise has left a huge psychological shadow.

Not every pilot can face death head-on.

Especially at Kadena Air Base.

Many pilots come here and think they are here to enjoy themselves.

The will to fight itself is weak.

"I will report the intelligence you encountered to the staff as soon as possible."

After hearing Joel's troubles, Marino finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Since the disintegration of Mao Xiong, they have rarely encountered such a situation where they were crushed almost the entire time.

Even among their military advisory groups, many people believe that many military projects are unnecessary now.

Marino originally held the opposite view.

Now Joel's report further supports his point of view.

On the same day, Marino wrote a well-founded report based on the data Joel sent him.

After all, it was handed over to the chief of staff.

The "Ghost Fighter" incident finally attracted attention.

In this situation of great attention, the intelligence department quickly compiled various intelligence.

A large part of this comes from the data given by Joel.

The "Ghost Fighter" is suspected to be a fourth-generation stealth fighter, and its ownership is unknown.

It is suspected to have supersonic cruise and beyond visual range air combat capabilities.

out of a total of nine contacts.

Each time, fire control radar was used to illuminate our fighter jets, forcing our fighter jets to leave a fixed sea area.

Each contact caused a certain amount of psychological trauma to the fighter pilots.

Most people on the staff have seen their own stealth fighter, the F-22.

After all, the first batch of F-22s will enter active service early next year.

Therefore, most people don't believe it when they see the various data speculated by Joel.

Because many of these data have exceeded their F-22!

However, after seeing the psychological trauma reports of fighter pilots, this disbelief has been reduced a lot.

Many of these pilots have undergone thousands of hours of training in China!

There are still varying degrees of psychological trauma.

It can be seen how much psychological shadow the other party has brought to them!

Many contents in the data still aroused doubts among military advisers.

The most questionable thing is the opponent's speed.

"This is impossible!"

A military adviser pointed to the speed in the report and said:

"They must be driving at such a speed!"

In the report, Joel believed that during the chase, the opponent's speed was at least above Mach 2.2.

Joel did not directly say whether the other party had used afterburner.

But just now Marino pointed out that if the other party was really a fourth-generation aircraft, then it was very likely that afterburner was not turned on during the process.

Because judging from their F-22, supersonic cruise capability is almost a standard feature of the next generation fighter jets.

Although there is no new-generation fighter jet that has been made public in the world, everyone has relatively the same performance standards for the next-generation fighter jet.

However, Marino's argument instantly attracted a rebuttal from the other party.

"Their engines can never be that powerful!"

The military adviser was still talking.

"Then you think their radar detection range has reached more than 300 kilometers, right?"

At this time, a military advisor next to him who had a say in radar said.

If the opponent's speed cannot reach Mach 2.2.

So ten minutes of supersonic flight time is enough to cover a distance of hundreds of kilometers.

And the opponent was actually able to maintain a lock on the fighter plane within these ten minutes.

Then there are only two possibilities.

First, it is fast enough to follow it all the time.

Second, the radar detection range is far enough that it never flew out of the opponent's radar detection range.

Each of these two items caused headaches for many staff officers present.

The first item means that the opponent's engine level and aerodynamic structure level are very high!

The second item means that the opponent's radar technology is even better than theirs!

You know, the AN/APG-77 active phased array radar equipped on their F-22 has 1956 T/R components, and the maximum detection range for a 5-square-meter target is only 297 kilometers!

Even the radar reflection surface of third-generation aircraft rarely reaches 5 square meters, and is generally 3 square meters.

Even on specially designed models or at certain angles, the radar reflection area is smaller.

For example, the J-10S uses a special structural design and stealth coating. The radar reflection surface is between 1.2-1.5.

Even active phased array radar can only detect it when it is about 150 kilometers away.

If the opponent is a stealth fighter, then the radar reflection surface will not exceed 0.5 square meters.

It is difficult to say whether the detection range of the AN/APG-77 active phased array radar can reach 80 kilometers.

Therefore, the staff are actually more inclined to believe in the first item.

After all, speed is actually not as important as radar in modern air combat.

The bickering among military advisers continued.

There is still no conclusion as to whether it is the radar or the speed.

However, the staff did not care about these technical issues. They were mainly thinking about how to deal with this crisis.

This is the first time in recent decades that they have been crushed in terms of main battle equipment.

Most of the staff were at a loss.

"Should we ask Joel and the others to be careful and not cause too many troubles in the near future?"

The majority of staff officers hold this attitude.

After all, the main force of the Air Force is still concentrated on the more important AFH battlefield.

Even if the first batch of F-22s enter service, it is impossible to transfer them to Joel and the others.

Chief of Staff John Jungper was also a fighter pilot and was not a so-called administrative faction.

So I still trust what Joel said in the report.

"Tell Little Joel to stay calm during this period of time. As long as the other party does not invade the airspace, just pretend that you have not seen it."

John Jungper said after thinking for a while.

"If the other party enters the airspace, after friendly communication with them, send them out of the country."

In this kind of intrusion into other people's airspace, Yingjiang himself has done more, and John Jiangpo believes that the other party will do the same.

"The Federation currently does not have the energy to launch a war thousands of miles away."

Although military spending has been rising every year in recent years, it is actually difficult to say where a large part of it will go.

John Jungper is well aware of their current situation.

Among the frontline fighters, those old F-15s and F-16s really cost the Air Force too much money.

This is also an important reason why he will continue to vigorously promote the purchase of new fighter jets F-22 and eliminate those F-15 and F-16.

After John Jungper sent the latest order to Joel, he was thinking in his heart.

The emergence of new stealth fighters undoubtedly gave him a good excuse to ask Congress for an increase in military spending.

Before that, he could only convince Congress by using the fact that the performance of the F-22 was improved enough to eliminate a large number of old fighter jets.

Now he has a better reason.

Counter threats from enemy stealth fighters.

At least tens of billions of dollars in military spending can be expected.

——

At the end of October, a cold current from Siberia moved south and hit the island where Kadena Air Force Base is located.

The hearts of many pilots on the island are as cold as this weather.

Afraid that I would have to go on a flight mission.

Joel breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the latest order from the country.

Finally, pilots are no longer allowed to risk their lives by flying.

However, John Jungper also gave Joel a task, asking him to find a way to test the performance level of the opposing fighter.

John Jungper did not say exactly how to test it.

Obviously John Jungper also knew that this was not easy to do.
