Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

The Peace Paradigm project of later generations used the AGP-66 radar of the F-16. This radar could indeed launch Sparrow missiles at that time. However, it should be noted that the F-16 is divided into many models, and the radar is also divided into many types.

The radar selection for the Peace Paradigm project was already in 1987.

But now?

It's only 1983 now. The F-16 fighter is still a fighter purely born for energy air combat theory. This fighter will not be equipped with medium-range air-to-air missiles. It is inherently designed for dogfights.

It wasn't until later, specifically in 1986, that two different batches were produced. The F-16 using the General Electric F110 engine was called F-16C/k30, and the F-16 using the Pratt \u0026 Whitney F100 engine was called F-16C/k32.

Collectively, they are called F-16C/D fighters. This batch of fighters had the ability to launch medium-range air-to-air missiles for the first time. At the same time, the cockpit also adopted a one-up, three-down layout, a proper modern glass cockpit layout.

But now, it certainly doesn't have it.

"How do you know?" Old Li was still a little unconvinced.

"This is very simple. Just ask Old Ba, they have already started receiving American-made F-16 fighters. Ask them if their fighters have the ability to launch medium-range missiles." Qin Yang rolled his eyes at Old Li: "Ignorance is not a mistake, but ignorance without being open to learning is not right."

Old Li's face turned purplish-red in an instant, his fists clenched. Judging from his appearance, he seemed ready to rush up and fight Qin Yang at any time, but in this kind of occasion, fighting was obviously unwise.

"President Qin is right, we didn't investigate clearly." Old Gu's face was apologetic: "I apologize to you for our reckless behavior just now."

Qin Yang's face was smiling, let's see if you guys are still arrogant!

In fact, they can't be blamed for taking it for granted. After all, they don't have many options to choose from.

The Xiongmao fighter's radar is a domestically produced imitation, and they cannot import it.

The F-15 fighter is a twin-engine heavy fighter, they want it, but the Americans definitely won't give it. So, the only radar they can use is the F-16 fighter's radar.

The Americans can even give them the F-16 fighter, let alone the radar on it. This is the most advanced equipment they can obtain, but they still haven't investigated clearly, and they don't even know that this radar cannot launch medium-range missiles.

Qin Yang showed a magnanimous expression: "It's okay, we adults don't remember the faults of little people."

Old Li almost got angry again.

"President Qin, you said in the meeting just now that you want to install the radar you produce on the fighter for further testing. Now, the only fighter in China that can undertake this task is our J-8II fighter. You are welcome to install the airborne radar on the nose of our J-8II."

After speaking, Old Gu thought of something again: "Anyway, the radar antenna has already been installed last time, and we think it's quite perfect."

In the beginning, President Qin used the J-8II fighter to fool the Jews, and now it is only natural to continue to take care of them.

Qin Yang shook his head: "No."

No?

Old Gu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Our airborne radar is too backward, it can only reach the level of American radar in the 1960s, how can it be matched with your advanced J-8II fighter?" Qin Yang said: "We still have to continue to work hard. After ten or twenty years, when our airborne radar catches up with the American level, we will equip your J-8II."

Old Li's face changed from purple to black.

Obviously, President Qin is targeting him!

When he first came in, Old Li said a lot of things to belittle the airborne radar of Factory 960, so now, President Qin is going to use these words to fight back against them.

Regret?

Old Li really regretted it. Why didn't he investigate clearly and didn't know that the F-16 couldn't launch medium-range missiles? Now he is passive everywhere.

"We don't mind that your airborne radar is backward. Even if it is backward, it is our own product. Moreover, with the first generation, it will continue to develop in the future, and its performance will become stronger and stronger." Old Gu continued to smile.

The air force leaders present did not speak, watching the conversation between the two.

The Northern Institute, the big brother in the aviation system, when did it beg people so humbly?

Xu Guohua, who was still standing on the rostrum, let out a long sigh of relief: President Qin is so amazing, President Qin has given us a hard time!

As for Brassey, he has been invited to the backstage, after all, Brassey is a foreigner, and it is not appropriate to watch the Chinese people fighting among themselves on the scene.

"Really?"

"Really, I once again apologize for Old Li's remarks just now." Old Gu said: "Old Li actually doesn't have any bad intentions, it's all for the development of the motherland's aviation industry, it's just a different route."

"Old Gu, you can't represent Engineer Li." Qin Yang looked at Old Li: "Engineer Li, what do you think?"

Old Li had a dark face and clenched his fists.

"Old Li, Old Li!" Old Gu whispered to Old Li: "Don't mess this up! This is related to the fate of our J-8II fighter!"

Old Li had no choice but to grit his teeth and let out a negligible voice from between his teeth.

"I'm sorry."

"Engineer Li, what are you talking about? You're a big man, why are you so twisted and shy, like a little girl?"

Old Li glared angrily.

"Old Li, Old Li!" Old Gu persuaded again: "Speak louder, for our J-8II!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have belittled our domestic radar."

"Engineer Li, seeing that your attitude is so sincere, I will forgive you, but there are a few words that I have to say."

Qin Yang's voice was loud and resounded throughout the audience.

"In the past few years, we have been standing still, which has led to a gap of twenty years with the world's advanced level. The country's door has been opened, and many people have realized the gap, so they are very eager and want to quickly improve our technical level through introduction."

Qin Yang said sonorously: "But, I want to say that modernization cannot be bought by buying. What you buy back can only be backward technology that others don't want!"

"We bought the Spey engine from the UK, which is at the level of a second-generation engine. We can't buy the world's advanced third-generation engine."

"We bought the L7 tank gun from Europe, with a 105mm caliber. Germany doesn't even let us see the advanced 120mm gun."

"For fighters, the United States only provides us with F-16s, and even阉割 many functions, and even replaced the engine with a turbojet."

The scene quieted down, and everyone was looking at Qin Yang with bright eyes.

"If we want to catch up with the world's advanced level and obtain first-class technology, we cannot completely rely on the West. We still have to rely on our own research and development. We Chinese people are smart, hardworking and capable. We can also develop what foreigners can develop! We must rely on our own hands to realize our modern national defense. We don't need other people's charity. We must stand up our chests and rely on our own ability to stand upright in the world!"

The scene was silent, and after a few seconds, there was another burst of warm applause.

President Qin said it so well!

President Qin is not just talking empty words. Sniper rifles, tank guns, airborne radar, air defense missiles, etc., are all achieving world-class levels through their own efforts!

Even Old Li was shocked. Was he a little obsessed before? What President Qin said makes sense.

Old Gu hadn't forgotten his mission. When the applause stopped, he continued to ask: "President Qin, can our J-8II fighter install this radar? We also want to contribute to independent national defense."

"Of course, you can bring a two-seater model over, and we can modify it together."

What?
