Chapter 246 A Different Air Show (Part )

At this moment, the air show photography area was in complete chaos.

After all, the Haizhu Air Show has a history of more than 20 years since it was first held.

A total of fourteen sessions have been held during this period, and this is the first time that foreign main fighter jets have crossed the border to participate in the exhibition.

What's more, the Su-57 in front of us is not an ordinary fighter, but one of the three major heavy fifth-generation fighters recognized by the world.

Although Russian fighter jets are generally known in the industry for their "rough workmanship" and backward electronic warfare technology.

But they are tough and durable, and have the high maneuverability inherited from the Soviet Union of Russian fighter jets.

The flat aerodynamic layout alone is enough to put it at the forefront of the world's fighter jet development.

The reason why the American F15 fighter jet was able to be mass-produced and put into service in the 70s was all because of the MiG-25 pilot who defected to the Japanese and allowed the American McDonnell Douglas Company to absorb (copy) the design technology of the Russian twin-engine, all-weather, highly maneuverable heavy fighter.

In addition, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a large number of Russian scientists were lured by the US dollar and defected to the United States. Otherwise, the Americans might not even be able to build the F15 Raptor, which is one level lower than the F22!

Of course, there is no point in talking about these anecdotes in the aviation industry.

The appearance of this Su-57 immediately made it the most attractive thing in the entire Haizhu Air Show!
It was just a simple emergency landing and slowly stopped at the apron of the air show, which made the military fans in the photography area turn their guns and take pictures.

The sound of shutter clicks was incessant.

Including Li Mo, who came to record video footage, everyone seemed extremely excited at this moment.

He just heard in the group that there would be some exciting news at the 15th Air Show.

I never expected that this stuff would come so strong and powerful!

"The Russian Su-57 has just been launched and here it is. Will the J-20S be released later?" Li Mo took hundreds of high-magnification full-frame close-up photos and discussed with a few military enthusiasts he had just met.

"J-20S?"

"Is it the two-seat fifth-generation fighter, the J-20S that can be equipped with a loyal wingman?"

"The spy photos of the J-20S I saw online before seemed to be just a yellow-skinned aircraft. It should still be in the testing and verification stage. It won't be pulled out so soon!" Several military fans nearby started discussing.

In recent years, the atmosphere of domestic air shows has become more and more intense. The frequent appearance of national treasures such as the J-20 has long whetted the appetite of domestic military fans.

Not to mention the J-15 that has been equipped with the new domestically-produced turbofan 20 engine, even if there is a legendary multi-aircraft formation and an elephant walk on the take-off and landing runway, it is estimated that it will not satisfy veteran military fans like Li Mo.

After all, the Russians have sent the Su-57 to stand guard and compete, and we always feel that something is missing when we only produce the J-20.

Just as everyone was talking about it.

The parked Su-57 fighter jet began to open its lid, and an elderly-looking pilot climbed out from inside.

As soon as this old Russian showed up, some veteran military fans in the photo area started cheering.

"Fuck!"

"It's old man Sergei Bogdan!"

"The legendary Russian test pilot!" Old military fans were talking about it.

Mr. Sergei Bogdan can be said to be an evergreen figure among Russian test pilots.

The old man was born in 1962 and started serving in the Soviet army in 1983. He flew fighter jets and bombers, and only retired from the Air Force and became a test pilot in 1991, the year the Soviet Union collapsed.

Whether it is the Russian aircraft in service or retired, or the epoch-making forward-swept wing fighter such as the Su-47 Golden Eagle, they are all left over by this old man.

The 62-year-old man flew a Su-57 alone for more than 4000 kilometers, making only one emergency landing to refuel. His professional ethics and extraordinary energy alone are enough to show how excellent he is.

"It's over! Here comes the challenger!"

"The Su-57 and old man Sergei are out for a showdown. This is a legendary fighter jet paired with a legendary pilot. The star effect is absolutely maxed out!" Li Mo put down the black and white cannon in his hand and clicked his tongue in surprise.

Everyone at the scene felt a little unbalanced as the Russian fighter jets kicked them out of their own air show.

Although military fans all admire powerful weapons, these personal worships are secondary to the feelings of home and country. So when the six J-20 formations came in, the cheers that broke out on the scene were even louder and louder, completely overshadowing the previous appearance of the Su-57.

"It's so enjoyable!"

"Enjoyed!"

"Our six-winged angel is still more handsome!"

Young military fans like Li Mo were so excited that they were grinning from ear to ear.

Especially when one of the J-20s broke away from the formation and began to slowly make an emergency landing on the runway of Jinwan Airport, the rich guys in the photography area almost shouted themselves hoarse.

Even the Russian pilots of the Warriors Flying Team who had made an emergency landing earlier, and old man Sergei, were looking at the Chinese fifth-generation fighter jet slowly approaching the apron with emotion.

The perfect silver-gray paint, the fuselage skin with smooth lines without any burrs, the variable canard layout, the Luneburg lens and the dashboard with a sci-fi green light all made these Russian pilots who came from afar envious.

His eyes bulged out and he wished he could dig his eyeballs out and stick them on the J-20 with its six wings spread out.

The reason why these Russian pilots came from far away.

In addition to using the Haizhu Air Show as a platform to advertise Russian fighter jets, whose reputation is declining year by year, they also want to see if they can find some potential customers among the big dog manufacturers in the Middle East.

It may be that they want to compare their equipment with that of the Chinese Air Force.

This is just like when people who used to live in the city see their poor relatives in the countryside suddenly turn around and become fabulously wealthy within a dozen years. It is very normal to feel unbalanced.

It was only after seeing the J-20 parked nearby that old man Sergei and his disciples from the Warriors Performance Team were all convinced.

A group of people murmured privately: "Sukabulie! The Chinese technology is too advanced!"

"Look at their fuselage craftsmanship, and compare it with our rivet fighters. It feels like they are not the product of the same era."

"Indeed, it feels like the copycat aircraft made by those bitches in America are not as good as this J-20."

"Our country's industrial base has lagged far behind China, especially in precision machining technology, which is even behind Germany and Japan. I hope that through the exchanges at this air show, those Duma oligarchs in our country can open their eyes and see the world."

As a legendary Russian test pilot, Mr. Sergei does have some courage and vision.

After all, there is a famous saying in the military industry: "The better looking a weapon is, the more combat-effective it is!"

Especially for the crown jewel of the military industry, fighter jets, they are all simulated and deduced by supercomputers, and then the proportional fuselage is sent to advanced wind tunnels for testing.

With the help of forward-looking design technology, industrial aesthetics is almost brought to the extreme in the appearance of fighter jets.

Although Soviet fighter jets have a long history, they were once the teacher of Chinese fighter jets.

But now the times have changed. Under the dimensionality reduction attack of Industrial Cthulhu, even a legendary pilot like Sergei who has experienced two dynasties has to surrender.

It's just that this group of Russian pilots just met and discussed the various details of the J-20 in front of them at close range.

A strange roar coming from the sky made Sergei and others look up at the same time.

In the blue sky, a waverider aircraft the size of an eagle was seen flying through the field at an extremely high speed.

The smoke trailing behind the aircraft and the shock wave caused by breaking the sound barrier left Sergei and the wealthy military fans at the scene stunned!
“Is this a Chinese-made drone?”

"A high-speed drone in the shape of a waverider? This is the first time I've seen one..."

"No! It's still accelerating!"

"So fast!"

"too fast!"

"Sukabulie! This estimated speed... This speed is more than twice as fast as the peak speed of our MiG-25!"
