Currently, the embassy of Yingjiang is still in the Jianguomen Yabao Road area. CCAV programs are also a must-see for the embassy staff. Obtaining information from public channels is a required course for intelligence personnel.
The 'new fighter' was unveiled. Several intelligence attachés were guarding a dark room, standing in front of the TV and frowning. One and a half minutes of the news had been recorded and played repeatedly.
There was no high-definition signal these days, and the TV picture was very blurry. If you want to see the changes in light and shadow clearly, you have to open your eyes and check frame by frame. But even so, many details appear blurry, and even appear to be real or fake.
Deliberately cover up.
Not covering it up would be abnormal.
Someone knocked on the door outside the dark room and delivered a stack of intelligence files.
The intelligence attachés opened the files and took out several thick stacks of files. The files contained photos, data, names, and various information that could be cross-checked.
"Last year, many insiders sent information that the prototype of Project 10 was officially manufactured in Chengdu, one year ahead of schedule, and the progress was very smooth. It will be officially tested at the end of this year."
"This new fighter is obviously enlarged from the No. 10 project. But its progress is actually faster than that of the single-engine model, which is a bit difficult to understand."
"The picture on the news is quite clear, and I haven't found anything suspicious yet. It doesn't look like a forgery, it should be real."
"Judging from its rolling conditions, the takeoff and landing performance of this new aircraft should not be bad. It is really a heavy-duty aircraft designed and manufactured according to carrier-based aircraft standards."
Under the bright desk lamp, the more files you opened, the more information you sorted out. A lot of sporadic and disorganized information in the past was pieced together to confirm the same fact.
Military attachés affiliated with the CIA had to admit the fact that 'Holy Light' had significantly intervened in the domestic manufacturing system two years ago, especially after it 'moved' the factories of Da Mao and Er Mao, the heavy military industry developed rapidly.
Two years have passed, and many relocated equipment and factories have been installed and rebuilt, and they have begun to enter the stage of positive feedback and continuously improve their technical level.
"These Soviets are so stupid." The military attachés first wanted to direct their anger at the fallen bear. "They allowed precious technology and resources to be lost at will."
These words made the military attachés look at each other, and everyone knew it well.
Since 1991, all Maozi families have been in chaos and lost management before they were disbanded. Students from Moscow State University would pull out their AKs when they disagreed. One can only imagine the extent of the chaos at that time.
Yingjiang is not very interested in Mao Xiong's technology, but that doesn't mean that others are the same.
It was precisely because Moscow was in such chaos that even Beibang spent some of its meager foreign exchange to win over nuclear experts - but they were intercepted by people sent by the 'Holy Light' who had expected it, and were actually killed.
This may be a rare consensus between ‘Holy Light’ and Eagle Sauce.
There are many forces that come to eat the bear's carcass, but this one is as organized and disciplined as the Holy Light, and can handle both black and white.
Zhou Qingfeng has been squatting in Moscow for more than half a year, using cruel and strange methods. The Dragon Crossing the River was stunned to suppress the local snake. No one can calculate how much benefit the "Holy Light" has gained, and even it itself doesn't know.
It is relatively easy to count the people who have been transported back from various Maozi's houses. But there are countless materials, technologies, equipment, etc. Many things are ignored and I don't know if they are useful. We will transport them back first. Anyway, they are cheap or even
for free.
"'Holy Light' has built many huge warehouses in Urumqi, which are filled with goods moved back from Eastern European countries. Not only goods from the Soviet Union are included, but also goods from East Germany, the Czech Republic and other countries."
"So, with the support of the 'Holy Light', this new fighter plane was really created?"
"The company 'Holy Light' is indeed special. As long as it is involved in any industry, its development speed will be accelerated several times or even more than ten times."
"This is not the first time that information about this heavy-duty aircraft has appeared. We collected photos of its wind tunnel model last year, but we did not expect that its prototype would appear so quickly."
"The engine is the biggest problem. But Motorsic cooperated with 'Holy Light' two years ago, and the joint venture factory between the two parties has been built long ago. We tried to stop it but failed. It is speculated that this model uses the same engine as the No. 10 Project
of aviation."
The fighter jets on the news did not appear out of thin air. From various logical reasonings, it has a realistic basis for its appearance. All the conditions for its creation are complete, it just depends on whether there is demand for it.
Obviously, the domestic air force needs a heavy-duty fighter aircraft. However, the emergence of the "Blue Army" has made the air force more disappointed with the Su-27. No one is willing to spend a lot of money to buy a piece of equipment that is lagging behind.
"From this point of view, this enlarged twin-engine No. 10 Project should be stronger than the Su-27."
"Referring to the conflict that occurred in the Strait not long ago, its performance is probably close to that of the F-14D."
Is it close to the F-14D that is being replaced by the US Navy? This assessment is really beyond the ability of the intelligence attaché. However, overestimating or underestimating the opponent's strength when necessary is also a traditional skill for the CIA.
Now that a new type of fighter jet has just appeared, it is not an exaggeration to overestimate it. Maybe the CIA will also warn Congress that its regional aviation superiority is being seriously challenged, and the US military will thank them.
Do you want the intelligence interpretation personnel to shout excitedly like the young people outside, or be pessimistic and dejected? No, it's impossible. They are very calm.
The work of intelligence interpretation is tedious. One task after another is completed, and one report after another is written. This is just a job, and it is also a job that is particularly easy to be exhausted.
After writing the routine briefing, the follow-up work was handed over to senior personnel at Langley headquarters. Several intelligence attachés from the embassy also felt very tired, so they walked out of the dark room and met for a cup of coffee.
One person held up a cup and whispered: "No matter how you judge it, they have made another step forward. It is still a very important step."
There is no need to say who ‘they’ are.
"The pace of progress is still very fast." Another person also raised his glass, "It has probably caught up with our level thirty years ago."
"But they don't even have many cars on the streets."
“Per capita income is pitifully low.”
“There’s still a queue for a burger.”
"Always want to immigrate to the free world."
Hahaha... The intelligence attachés were simply tired, relaxing and telling jokes for fun. For them, similar situations have happened too many times.
The Soviet Union was even more ferocious back then, and there wasn't much trouble.
"Even if we can develop a third-generation aircraft? How much production can we achieve? The engine has not been completely solved yet."
"Their economy is very backward, prices are rising desperately, and they may collapse at any time."
"Let's wait until they surpass the UK."
"France is waiting for them to overtake."
"And Germany and Japan."
For a country that does not have any overseas bases, does not have an aircraft carrier, and can only defend its homeland, the United States, which controls the first island chain, has a natural initiative.
Several intelligence attachés collectively put down their cups and laughed in unison: "The sky will soon be filled with fourth-generation aircraft. What's the point of still building third-generation aircraft?"
