Great Power Fighting Falcon

"Three point eight to one? Six to one?"

Li Zhan looked at the conclusion report in his hand, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he subconsciously said, "This is impossible, it cannot be the result."

There were only four people in the analysis room, Gan Tingting, Tang Guozheng, Zhang Chongming, who were responsible for the specific calculation and analysis, and Li Zhan, whose expression changed drastically at this time.

Tang Guozheng had his hands behind his back and his expression was very ugly.

Gan Tingting was a little uneasy. She went through the entire calculation and analysis process over and over in her mind. She was very worried that she had made a mistake on her part to arrive at such a result. She knew what the result meant, so she was very nervous.

Zhang Chongming's face looked a little better. He had basically digested it, but the worry in his heart was obvious with his furrowed brows.

The battle damage ratio of the J-16 against the F-16 is 3.8 to 1, and the ratio against the Mirage 2000 is as high as 6 to 1.

In other words, it takes 3.8 aircraft to shoot down an F-16, and it takes six J-16s to kill a Mirage-2000.

This is a shocking conclusion.

Relevant departments at higher levels need to use these quantitative data as a basis when making some decisions. For example, if the army is currently undergoing organizational reform, the battle loss ratio between the main fighter aircraft and the opponent's main fighter aircraft will directly affect the army's fighter organization.

Even these factors can be put aside.

If all the officers and soldiers in the country knew that four J-16s could defeat one F-16, and that up to six were needed to defeat the weird-looking Mirage-2000, everyone would drown Shenfei in saliva, and it would be even more damaging to the People's Air Force. His combat effectiveness is questioned!

This matter is more urgent than emergency live-fire training.

After a while, Li Zhan slowly calmed down and asked Zhang Chongming, "Director Zhang, can you do a few more calculations? I think there is a big deviation in the result."

Zhang Chongming said, "Thirteen calculations have been done. I have just reported it to my superiors. The computer center will continue to perform repeated calculations. However, it is basically certain that based on the existing data and information, there is no possibility of calculation errors in this result."

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhan asked, "Does the manufacturer's technical team know?"

"It's being kept secret for now. Only the four of us know about it now," Zhang Chongming said.

Li Zhan nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "Don't let other people know it yet. I should be the one with the most say. When fighting against the F-16, I could feel that if it was one-on-one, the J-16 would not I would be at a disadvantage. Moreover, the battlefield environment I faced at that time was very poor, and there were two groups of four enemy aircraft posing a threat to me. From my personal feeling, the J-16 may have some shortcomings in close combat, but if it is I don’t believe such a high battle loss ratio.”

"I don't believe it either, but I want to respect science." Zhang Chongming said solemnly, "You know, Team Leader Li, our calculations do not take the pilot factors into account at all, and any variables that exist are not considered. It is only for fighter aircraft. Comparison based on the actual performance shown. In the past, we did not have the conditions to do such a comparison because the actual performance parameters of the target model were not enough. This time you brought back a lot of data in this area at the same time, so my comparison calculation was can be established.”

Tang Guozheng moved his hands behind his back to the front, folded his arms and said solemnly, "Such a quantitative comparison does not take into account subjective factors. Theoretically speaking, the results are the most objective. The problem now is that I don't believe in annihilation." The battle loss ratio of the Sixteenth Army will be so large, but the comparison results of this theory may affect the army's deployment plan."

This is the key point.

The biggest factor in how effective a fighter aircraft is is the pilot. It is precisely this subjective factor that is the key to winning or losing a battle.

However, the army cannot consider the problem in this way when purchasing weapons and equipment. It must make a quantitative comparison based on the actual capabilities of the weapons and equipment - whether it can surpass the opponent or reach a few percent of the opponent's level.

Therefore, Li Zhan said with great certainty, "If the aviation commander agrees with this data, the army will not purchase the J-16."

"The same goes for HNA," Tang Guozheng added.

Since you know that this aircraft basically cannot beat its opponents, why should you buy it?

Neither Li Zhan nor Tang Guozheng used "it is understandable that the J-16 is a fighter-bomber with insufficient air combat capabilities" as a reason. The reason is that the J-16 was developed based on the Su-30MKK, and the Su-30MKK The appearance is based on the Su-27.

What does that mean?

A large number of J-11 series fighters of the navy and air force will face the same doubts!

The J-11 series fighters are the main air superiority fighters of the navy and air force. According to this comparison result, it shows that our army's air superiority fighter fleet will be overwhelmed by the enemy in the future!

The airline will never allow this to happen!

It was precisely because Li Zhan and Tang Guozheng thought of this point that they were so solemn. It was precisely because of this that their superiors did not want to delay for a minute to let the actual flight test team conduct urgent discussions. In the past, we were unable to conduct such systematic analysis and comparison because we had limited data. This time, J-16 No. 1616 brought back extremely detailed data. Everyone believed that no matter how bad the J-16 was, it would at least have a one-to-one battle loss. Than, I didn't expect the result to be unexpected.

Troops who use and have used the Su-30MKK believe that the air combat capability of this aircraft is not much weaker than the J-11. What they compare is the J-11 fighter. The J-16 is based on the SU-30MKK and has undergone a lot of optimizations, including air combat capabilities. It should have most of the air combat capabilities equivalent to the J-11B. With the current results, no matter how stupid you are, you can easily make the correct conversion.

Therefore, the impact on the J-16's fielding is only the first impact, and the second impact on the huge J-11 fleet is even more serious.

Can the J-11 not defeat the F-16 and Mirage-2000?

The Shenyang Aircraft Factory will really be spitted to death by the people, and the image of the People's Air Force among the people will also be affected.

This matter has reached another level. Compared with it, the actual test flight is simply an extremely small matter.

Zhang Chongming asked, "Team Leader Li, the relevant departments at higher levels are comparing the data of the J-11 with the F-16 and Mirage-2000 for comparative analysis. According to the data we have, the results will not be very different."

This is the last thing you want to see.

After thinking about it from beginning to end, Li Zhan was 80% convinced of the result. He believes that People's Air Force pilots can use their own abilities to make up for the shortcomings of fighter aircraft, but this does not mean that they can choose to turn a blind eye to the shortcomings of fighter aircraft or not take corresponding measures.

His opinion as the leader of the test flight team is very important.

Tang Guozheng naturally had more on his mind. He considered the problem in a larger context, so he paid more attention to this matter. He asked Li Zhan, "Xiao Li, what do you think should be done?"

After flying for more than three years, this was the first such thorny thing that Li Zhan encountered.

The atmosphere was very solemn, and even Gan Tingting seemed to smell the decision-making before the war.

After five minutes, Li Zhan slowly breathed out and said in a deep voice, "I still have doubts about the comparison results, but I don't have enough basis to support my point of view. I suggest conducting a special comparison test and using a lot of confrontation Examples will be analyzed in more detail.”

"Isn't this difficult to handle?" Zhang Chongming's eyes lit up. The more confrontation examples there are, the more accurate the comparison results will be. This is of course a good thing. It is not easy to start confrontation instances. He looked at Tang Guozheng, "Chief of Staff Tang, this matter Is it easy to implement?”

"It's not easy." Tang Guozheng shook his head, "I guess the flight commander has no right to make such a decision."

Li Zhan blinked and said, "You don't have to go east. I think it is a good idea to engage in military exchanges with friendly foreign armies."

For a moment, Tang Guozheng and Zhang Chongming looked at each other and smiled slowly, "Yes, yes, there are military exchanges every year."
