Chapter 899 Famous Brands from Southeast Asia (Third update, please subscribe)
Israel, Rafah Air Force Base.
A jet fighter is performing a shocking flight display. Its maneuverability is like a powerful eagle, soaring freely in the wind, showing unparalleled flexibility and strength.
I saw the fighter jets drawing beautiful arcs in the air, sometimes diving and sometimes climbing, as if they were dancing with the sky. Every movement is precise and powerful, like a carefully choreographed dance, which is dizzying for everyone.
Suddenly, the fighter jet made a deafening roar, like thunder, instantly breaking the sound barrier. At that moment, it was as if time had been frozen. Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the fighter plane flying overhead.
The shocking sight left everyone deeply shocked. Its speed is so fast that it seems to be able to tear the air apart, leaving behind streaks of bright light. And the roaring sound makes people feel excited and unable to calm down for a long time.
This flight display not only demonstrated the excellent maneuverability of this jet fighter, but also made people feel the perfect combination of power and beauty it represents.
“It’s really amazing!”
Ben Gurion said in an admiring tone.
“Yes, the Thunder is indeed a very amazing fighter. It not only has strong power, but also has unparalleled maneuverability. We have several pilots who flew the F86 while serving in the US Air Force. They think that the Thunder The fighter is more powerful than the F86! ”
"Indeed, otherwise, how could they have achieved an overwhelming advantage in the "Siam Crisis"?"
Before the "Siam Crisis", the Israeli military had complicated feelings about the Thunderbolt fighter jets Yes, on the one hand this is the jet fighter they urgently need, but on the other hand compared to the MiG and F86 Saber, it has not been tested in actual combat, so naturally there is no confidence in the mind. After all, weapons can only be tested in war. In order to fully demonstrate its true performance.
But after the "Siam Crisis", the last trace of doubt in their hearts disappeared.
After all, his overwhelming victory was real!
You must know that no enemy will give up in an air battle!
Ben-Gurion agreed.
“So, we need more thunder and lightning. We heard that Egypt, Iraq and other countries are also interested in thunder and lightning. We must have more thunder and lightning before they equip them.”
Ben-Gurion strongly agreed with the Air Force Commander's suggestion. Just a few months ago, Israel received a donation of up to 100 million U.S. dollars from American Jewish organizations, and several American banks agreed. Grants Israel credit of up to $50 million per year with no strings attached.
However, as in the past, having money is one thing, but obtaining a reliable source of weapons is another entirely. Until now, neither the United States nor the United Kingdom wants to hand over weapons to Israel. The former is more concerned about their oil interests in Saudi Arabia and other places, while for the United Kingdom, the Arab countries in the Middle East, including Egypt, are their It is naturally impossible for former mandates and colonies to provide weapons to Israel.
Even if France is willing to provide weapons to Israel, they hope that these weapons will always arrive through some means. Israel needs fighter jets, transport aircraft, 105mm howitzers, artillery, armored vehicles, armored personnel carriers and tanks. What it needs most are tanks and aircraft. Especially advanced jet fighters.
There are all these things in Nanyang, and they are the best in the world. How could they not be tempted?
"In the past, due to insufficient funds, we could only purchase 37 Thunder fighter jets. Considering the current situation, we should add at least 37 more aircraft to ensure that we will not lose in the air." "No. Question!"
Ben Gurion nodded.
“Fighters are related to the survival of Israel. We must buy the best aircraft. By the way, I heard that Nanyang has invested in a new type of weapon in Siam - anti-tank missiles. I heard that it attacks The effect of the tank is very good, isn’t it?”
Even as prime minister, Ben-Gurion still paid close attention to new weapons. After learning about two new gadgets, attack helicopters and anti-tank missiles, he became interested in them.
Actually, Ben Gurion’s interest was a bit late. Just when the Israelis were preparing to send representatives to Nanyang to purchase more aircraft, on the shooting range in Taiping Province, officers from Yugoslavia were admiring In addition to showing them their maneuverability, the most important performance of the Z-1 attack reconnaissance helicopter's flight performance is naturally the launch of anti-tank missiles.
“The Cerberus anti-tank missile uses visual targeting and tracking, wired command guidance, and a warhead armor-piercing thickness of 450 mm – it is enough to destroy the most powerful tanks in the world, even the latest Soviet models Even the T-10 heavy tank cannot withstand its attack..."
Listening to the commentator's explanation, the generals and officers from Yugoslavia all looked elated. You know, they have always been What they were most worried about were Soviet tanks. Although Yugoslavia now received tanks and aircraft aided by the United States, Soviet tanks, especially heavy tanks like the T-10 heavy tank. It’s definitely a worry for them!
Not just theirs, but the entire Western world’s!
"With 480 mm, it can definitely penetrate the T-10 heavy tank!"
A colonel said excitedly to the general next to him.
“Its maximum range is 3600 meters, its flight speed is 85 meters/second, its total missile length is 0.86 meters, its diameter is 0.165 meters, its total missile mass is 14.5 kilograms, and its hollow charge warhead is heavy 5 kilograms. And we are currently improving the rocket engine it uses. It is expected that the range of the new model will exceed 4500 meters! The actual combat shows that its battlefield hit rate is 75%."
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, these Yugoslav officers all said it.
“4500 meters! This has exceeded the range of the Soviet field anti-aircraft weapons!”
"4500 meters, this range is enough!"
In their words of amazement, the attack reconnaissance helicopter hovered in the blue sky like a vigorous eagle, and the operator's eyes were fixed on the ground On the two anti-tank targets. Suddenly, a ball of flame spewed out from the left side of the fuselage, and a "Cerberus" anti-tank missile shot out like lightning, piercing the sky and heading straight for the target.
The first missile accurately hit the first target. The explosion was deafening, flames shot into the sky, and smoke filled the air. Immediately afterwards, the second "Cerberus" anti-tank missile was launched again!
Different from the first fixed target, the second target was a moving truck. Although the difficulty increased, the result lived up to expectations. The missile accurately hit the second target, and another burst of An earth-shattering explosion sounded.
After two hits, the officers in the audience stood up one after another, their eyes shining with surprise and approval. Applause came like a flood, one after another.
At this moment, the eyes of these guests who came from afar were full of desire to attack reconnaissance helicopters and anti-tank missiles!
