After more than half a month of traveling and traveling, the group finally arrived at the Principality of Imran at the other end of the continent.
They are also the last batch of the imperial mission team to arrive.
For example, the imperial officers and the ground troops responsible for the front line had already arrived in this country on transport planes early.
Before the cargo ship entered the port, Imran's military arranged a unique welcome ceremony specifically for these guests.
Five JF-17 "Fierce Dragon" fighter jets of the Imran Air Force, trailing five-color tail smoke, made a low-altitude pass over the freighter.
These five JF-17 Fierce Dragons wearing gray and white camouflage are the result of early imperial arms sales. As a friendly country of the empire, Imran's air force basically has new fighter jets except those inherited from the disintegrated alliance.
It's imported.
After all, this is just a small country. It has no experience in researching and developing aircraft of its own, and naturally has no manufacturing capabilities.
At this time, they had boarded the cargo ship. When everyone looked up at the low-altitude pass-through fighter jets, the official Imran personnel responsible for communication introduced the squadron's information to them: "This is the most outstanding flight team of our Imran Air Force."
The squadron, their codename is 'Tiger Shark', during this period of border friction with the Custer Federation, they guarded our airspace very well."
Border friction is not limited to ground troops. Pilots in the sky will also encounter this kind of thing - Custer Federation's fighter planes cross the border, Imran's fighter planes drive away, accompanied by verbal warnings, fire control radars, etc.
Pilots belonging to both sides need to carry out eviction measures such as locking and interfering with routes without directly firing. The latter also tests personal psychological quality and fighter flying level.
This kind of game confrontation between pilots from both sides can also reflect the strength of a country's air force.
According to the introduction of this Imran official, Wang Yu and the others knew that this Imran squadron was a very high-level squadron, and Imran sent such a squadron to specially carry out a welcome ceremony.
Passing through the venue at low altitude, it has to be said how seriously they attach importance to the imperial visitors.
"Speaking of which, the Principality of Imran seems to be quite wealthy." Liu Lingxin retracted her gaze and looked at the Xiaolong fighter jets in the distance. "The price of the Xiaolong fighter jets is not expensive, but I want to buy them in large quantities and have the corresponding logistics support."
system, it will cost a lot of money. And this time they also purchased more more expensive heavy-duty fighters from us."
"Although their territory is small, their family fortune is not small." Wang Yu heard her sigh and couldn't help but said, "When the Tevos Alliance was shattered into pieces, most countries were engaging in internal fighting and destroying their own family fortunes.
Damn it, the Principality of Imran has achieved a smooth transition of power, retained most of its national power, and inherited a lot from the alliance, so while other countries are still recovering from economic losses,
Imran has begun to develop in an orderly manner."
"Then if they have money, why didn't they choose some more excellent fighters before?" Liu Lingxin tilted her head, "Although Xiaolong is an excellent aircraft, light fighters are not as good as medium or heavy fighters in terms of mounts and range.
So strong."
"Imran's territory is just that big. They don't ask for foreign wars. They only want to defend their own one-third of an acre. Therefore, the size of the airspace that the air force needs to take care of is naturally incomparable to ours."
Wang Yu looked at Liu Lingxin and said: "The main country bordering them is the Custer Federation in the south. Normal cruises basically only fly a few hundred kilometers and end. With the help of early warning aircraft and radar, they are basically the same as their opponents.
In a state of two-way transparency, it makes no sense to re-fight the flight of more than thousands of kilometers - this is like why there were far more MiG-29s in service in the Imran Air Force before purchasing the Xiaolong from us.
Because of the Flanker series."
"To put it simply, adapt measures to local conditions." Liu Lingxin heard this and summed up Wang Yu's words with a smile.
"That's right, adjust measures to local conditions." Wang Yu nodded, "The most expensive is not necessarily the best. Unless they can really use all YF-23s, F-22s or Su-57s to achieve generational suppression, otherwise it is not as good as
Pick the one that suits them best."
"Speaking of which, Imran had a lot of fun deciding on the order for these JF-17 fighter jets."
Wenxuan walked up behind the two of them at some point, and he picked up the topic and started chatting in a familiar manner: "I heard that at that time, Imran only wanted to buy light fighters to make up for his air power, so he had three models.
Qingzhan participated in the bidding for the Tejas, Fierce Dragon and Mirage 2000. All three fighter jets performed flight demonstrations - everyone wanted to grab this big order, especially when it was the turn of the Tejas fighter jet, in order to show off their excellent maneuverability.
, actually performed the falling leaves maneuver on the spot."
"Oh, I've heard about this."
Wang Yu agreed very much with Wenxuan's words: "At that time, the Glory Fighter became famous in one battle, and its outstanding maneuverability attracted everyone's attention. You must know that the Glory Fighter made a real falling leaf.
Falling like autumn leaves, all the way to the ground - the key point is that the Tejas not only demonstrates its own excellent maneuverability, but also buys one, gets one free, and also displays the excellent performance of the ejection seat.
."
Liu Lingxin: "..."
Are these two praising or scolding?
In fact, Wang Yu "approved" the fighter jets with brilliant performance.
His only actual aerial kill so far is a Tejas fighter jet.
I think back then I was still driving the monkey version (referring to the version I assembled myself) of the MiG-21, and I had to use ground-attack rockets to shoot down the opponent. It was indeed a little difficult.
Speaking of which, after he switched to the F-15E, he once thought about applying for a combat mission to blow up the pirate airport to the ground. However, he later heard that the base had been taken over by the Imperial Air Force, so he had to give up.
.
In short, regarding Wang Yu’s evaluation, Wenxuan nodded: “After this performance, only Xiaolong and Phantom were left to bid, and then the Imran military took a fancy to Xiaolong’s integrated digital instruments and clear
Knowing the flight control, they chose the JF-17 as the main fighter aircraft after the replacement of their air force."
Wang Yu asked: "Speaking of which, do you know how many dragons there are in Imran now?"
"According to the published information I found in the files before departure, there should be four groups with about fifty aircraft, which have replaced the MiG-29 as the main fighter aircraft in the past few years." Wenxuan was well prepared.
"They are our big customers."
"Then they suddenly changed their previous thinking this time and purchased several heavy fighters from us. Is it simply to cope with the war?" Liu Lingxin asked curiously: "Didn't you just say that light fighters are the most suitable for Imran?
"?"
"Purely to deal with war, heavy-duty aircraft have a higher bomb load and can play their greatest role in a certain sense." Wang Yu simply explained: "And the ability to fight alone without the system is also guaranteed.
Imran is just improving his error tolerance in war."
Liu Lingxin nodded thoughtfully.
While they were chatting, the freighter slowly docked at the port.
The crane began to unload, and these special cargo boxes containing expensive fighter jets were directly sent to the train.
They also disembarked from the port of their capital under the guidance of Imran officials.
The imperial warships did not enter the port, but refueled directly in the open sea before turning around and returning.
When the freighter docked at the port, we could see the general appearance of the capital - this is a city with a completely different cultural style from the empire.
If you can take the time to wander around here, maybe you can gain some insights into the humanities.
It's just that everyone is on official business, and their destination is not the capital of this country.
So after getting off the ship, everyone directly transferred to the military train and crossed the not-so-large land of Imran. After a day, they finally arrived at a large air force base located inland of Imran.
This is the base where they will stay for some time to come.
