Chapter 556 Your Rafale M is not as good as our J-15
Toulon Military Port is very famous. It is not only the largest military port of the French Navy, but also the core area of French naval equipment manufacturing. The shipyard that built the Dai Ship is here. This is convenient for the maintenance of the Dai Ship. After all, the ship is one year old.
I spend more than half of my time at the shipyard.
France's defense industry R&D system is the most complete in European countries, especially after the ship was released, the French had very strong self-confidence in this regard. After all, they did what the British and Germans could not do.
How awesome are they?
In the 1980s, the French had launched Euro fighters with several other major European countries, which are now typhoon fighters. Because the French needed to board the ship and had nuclear strike capabilities, they withdrew from the middle of the journey and started a new job, and later created Rafale fighter jets.
, in some aspects, is better than typhoon fighters.
So this country is not good at fighting, but there is still a set of national defense weapons and equipment development.
The carrier-based aircraft training base belonging to the naval base is not large in size. In terms of area, it is only the size of an ordinary second-class air force airport in China. However, Li Zhan and others quickly saw the difference. The fertile land naval flight training base is given.
The feeling of being empty is that it feels like a fighter jet and pilot training on a large wasteland. Although the Toulon carrier-based aircraft training base is small in size, it gives people the feeling that it is not large but it runs well.
Like precision instruments, all work follows the plan. It looks messy but is actually very organized.
Several two-seater carrier-based fighters with gusts were training in flight, while carrier-based helicopters were taking off and landing on the side, obviously conducting their own training at the same time. So many aircraft were crowded in a small place and advancing in an orderly manner.
The training plan is very intensive about the capabilities of each unit.
The command and coordination ability alone can be seen, reflecting the rich experience of the French Navy officers and soldiers. It is difficult to be so smooth without decades of accumulation.
Sitting in a convertible light bus, Monet introduced the situation of the training base in English with a heavier accent and the Rafale M carrier-based fighter they wanted to show off the most. Rafale, Typhoon, and Gripen were known as the top three European third-generation aircraft, the French
If you think their gusts are ranked first, you should naturally brag about it.
"Our Rafale is an all-around fighter, air combat, ground strike, and nuclear bombs. As long as the fighter can do it, it can do it even if it can't do it. Typhoon fighters are not good, they focus too much on air-optimal performance, and in terms of purpose development,
It's not as good as our gusts."
"Egypt, Qatar, and India have expressed their willingness to purchase a total of 100 Rafale fighters, which fully demonstrates that our Rafale fighter performance has been recognized and sought after by many countries."
...
Monet boasted hard, and those who didn't know thought he was a sales representative of Dassault. It was impossible for China to buy gusts, especially after the J-10c, which is not inferior to gusts, came out. In fact, even if you want to buy the French, it wouldn't be too much.
Dare to sell. Helicopters can also be said to be used for non-combat tasks such as commuting, but no matter how you change the fighter, you will not be able to change the essence of combat.
"Today we have a group of young men who have just been solo to conduct aerial combat training. Let's take a walk first and go to the command tower to watch their training later. Maybe this will be of some help to the starting Chinese Navy." Monet also
Without hiding it, I just said it directly. This is the difference between front-line military personnel and diplomatic personnel.
Li Zhan glanced at Mo Ren'an, and Mo Ren'an blinked, and Li Zhan said with confidence and boldness, "Col. Monet, we clearly mentioned in the requirements of learning and communication that we hope to be able to contact Rafale fighter jets, just like
As you said, the Rafale M fighter is a very excellent carrier-based fighter. The combat capability of this aircraft may completely surpass the Super Hornet, but what is certain is that the Rafale M may not be as good as the Russian sea flanker..."
"No, no, no! Major Li, this is wrong." Monet was quite happy to hear Li Zhan's previous words, and he couldn't help it when he raised it to the next sentence. This was a completely disregard for the facts. How about our gusts?
Maybe it's not as good as the Russians' stupid and thick sea flanker!
Monet waved his hand seriously and said, "Yes, your second point is very incorrect. Of course I know that you have created the sea flanker, but please believe me, Gust m is the best shipboard in the world.
fighter."
"As you have learned, we are the only criterion for testing the truth, and our understanding of Gust M, except for the instruction manual in hand, is only through your verbal introduction. I think this is very
Inadequate." Li Zhanyang Yangyang gave a thin instruction manual to introduce the Rafale series of fighter jets in his hand, and said with a smile, "We hope to fly the Rafale M fighter jet a few times to increase our understanding of the aircraft, and also to you
A deep learning of a very mature training model.”
Monet is in his forties and has never encountered anything. Besides, such a request was not a temporary intention by China. They have submitted a request long ago, but the attitude above has not been clear yet.
He blinked and said, "Gentlemen, we will first go to the command tower, and there will be a wonderful air confrontation exercise next. I believe you can understand the unparalleled mobility of the gust of wind."
This old guy is obviously not a simple-minded person. He is naturally smart enough to be responsible for entertaining foreign teams.
Is Rafale M really not as good as the J-15 as Li Zhan said? Obviously not. Li Zhan and others were quite shocked when they saw this fighter with their own eyes. You really can't deny the French's scientific research capabilities.
Dassault, which is innovative everywhere, is not at peace with the Rafale series of fighter jets, and can still see some designs that are very different from other fighter jets.
For example, the canopy cover opened to the right. This design is just a damn thing in the eyes of the Chinese pilot who is used to opening the canopy cover backward. What the hell is this design?
There is also an air inlet, which looks like moving the air inlet of Phantom-2000 downwards, then pinch two round grooves of the cylindrical body, and then pinch the semicircular air inlet into
The oval is stuffed into the groove, which looks like it is integrated with the fuselage, but don’t the French know that doing so will not help reduce the frontal RCS area of the fighter? However, the aerodynamic shape must be optimized.
The most important thing is that the air intake duct is still an ordinary air intake duct, not a clam-style air intake duct.
From the perspective of aerodynamic layout, the Rafale series and the J-10 series are the same, both have duck-type aerodynamic layout. It looks much more coordinated than the Phantom-2000 with pure triangular wing aerodynamic layout. However, the Rafale series is a dual-engine medium-sized fighter.
, the maximum takeoff weight of the C-type used by the Air Force is close to 25 tons, while the J-10 is a single-engine medium-sized fighter with a maximum takeoff weight of only 19 tons. Mobile phone::
Li Zhan and others' greatest interest comes from the Rafale M carrier-based fighter jet, because this fighter jet may become the main carrier-based fighter jet of the Indian Navy in the future. Therefore, everyone puts the experience of Rafale M carrier-based fighter jet first in communication.
Important positions, other learning and communication contents including training mode are placed in secondary positions.
After arriving at the command tower, Mo Renan pulled Monet to the side and spoke. Mo Renan studied at the French Sanjun Defense Academy. He spoke very fluently in French and was familiar with many officials of the Sanjun Defense Academy. Therefore,
Now we start chatting about friendship. If the pilots can be encouraged to experience the Rafale M carrier-based fighter, this trip will not be in vain.
After chatting for a while, Mo Ren'an, the military officer and Monet left together, probably to coordinate and implement it. This made Li Zhan, who was observing secretly happy for a while, so that he looked at the blonde and blue-eyed who took over Monet's explanation.
The female captain with a very tall figure and a head taller than Li Zhan’s eyes were much softer. The female captain with a protruding front and a squint back who was nearly 1.8 meters tall gave Li Zhan a charming look, making Li Zhan feel that the French are so frivolous.
.
The proportion of female soldiers in the French army is quite high. There are only a few female soldiers in the command tower. Among them, there is a fat black aunt who is probably in her forties. She is also an approach control seat, and her command is orderly and neat.
Very good.
The person in charge of command was a white-haired lieutenant colonel. Although he was gray-haired, he was about the same age as Monet. The promotion of the French army's rank was not based on the age, but similar to that of the US army. It is possible that the captain will be a captain all his life, and their rank is of great significance.
Importantly, there will never be any phenomenon of low-ranking officers commanding high-ranking officers. Our army's ranks have no sense of existence. It is not uncommon for a major to command a lieutenant colonel, because the major can be a deputy regiment and the lieutenant colonel may be just a battalion.
The white-haired lieutenant colonel attached great importance to Li Zhan and the others. It was obvious that he had received orders from his superiors long ago, and even asked Zhang Xueyang politely. If there were no other questions, they would start the air confrontation training of the new pilot. Zhang Xueyang's military rank was Li Zhan.
The highest of the four.
This made Li Zhan and others feel flattered, and they also deeply felt the most direct impact of the rapid development of the troops after the country's strength.
In recent years, France has increased its cooperation with China in the economic field, so the economy has developed quite well, so their military expenditure can still be guaranteed. After all, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are not so easy to maintain, and they claim that the country will not set in the sun.
Even conventional aircraft carriers could not be maintained, so I bit the bullet and created a "Queen Elizabeth" class inappropriate, claiming to be multi-purpose, it is actually an amphibious assault ship. So, the second ship had a shortage of funds just after it started construction.
With sufficient military expenditure to ensure national defense forces can continue to develop. There is a clear proof that there is no other country besides China and the United States, and there is no other country that dares to train carrier-based fighter pilots on such a large scale? The Frenchman is one, and they are still thinking about building it at this time.
As for the follow-up ships of Dai Ship, because the problems of Dai Ship are frequent, they seek to build new nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to replace Dai Ship.
However, despite this, Li Zhan still noticed some details of the decline in the French army's strength. For example, in their opinion, it was considered a large-scale flight training, which was actually used to train four Rafale M two-seat carrier-based fighters, which was in the Chinese Air Force.
, the navy is so daily that it cannot be more daily.
In 2011, the flight training intensity of the Air Force Aviation and Navy Aviation suddenly increased to a very terrifying level. In the past, a headquarters of a group was transferred to a group and wanted to send several working groups to come down to see it. Now, the transfer of more than a dozen or twenty fighter jets was transferred.
Training is commonplace, and there are too many things that make you unable to be numb.
It seems that life in a capitalist society is not easy.
