Chapter 262 Flight Show
Wang Yun stood on the sidelines, staring unblinkingly at the Dragon Shadow Fighter Demonstration Team that was making preparations.
He watched the team members inspecting the fighter jets and debugging equipment in an orderly manner, and he became increasingly full of expectations and confidence for the wonderful performance that was about to begin.
"Captain Duan, the next aerial performance depends entirely on you!" Wang Yun said to Captain Duan solemnly with a smile on his face.
"Captain Duan, this performance is very important. I hope you can perform at your best."
Duan Peng nodded seriously, but still answered honestly: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, we will do our best."
"However, there are various uncertainties in flying, and I dare not give you a 100% guarantee. I can only say that I will try my best to complete this performance."
After hearing this, Wang Yun understood in his heart that the flight performance was indeed faced with many variables, and absolutely perfect results could not be obtained by forcing it. So he patted Duan Peng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you all!"
Soon afterwards, Lin Chenran and Wang Yun were seen walking toward the auditorium together, talking and laughing.
At this time, the auditorium was already packed with people. People came from all directions to witness the wonderful performances of aircraft from various countries.
At this moment, the exciting voice of the host came from the radio: "Dear audience friends, let us applaud the MiG-29 flight team from the Bear Country!"
As the words fell, the pilots from the Bear Country quickly boarded the MiG-29 fighter jets and quickly made final preparations before takeoff.
They were all energetic and heroic, as if they were ready to soar into the sky at any moment to show off their majesty.
Lin Chenran took a closer look and suddenly found that one of the bear pilots was holding a small kettle in his hand.
This detail made him feel a little surprised. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered to himself: "Isn't this vodka?"
Because the distance was too far, Lin Chenran could only take a rough look and thought that 80% of it was "vodka".
There has been an international rumor that Bear pilots always drink a little wine before flying.
Drinking a little wine can increase their combat effectiveness to a new level.
……
The members of the Mao Xiong Aerobatic Team bravely boarded the MiG-29 fighter jet. With the deafening roar of the engine, the fighter jet soared into the sky like an arrow from a string and shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, it drew a beautiful and sharp arc in the air and began a wonderful performance.
The people in the audience instantly became excited, with cheers and screams one after another, as if they were about to overturn the entire venue.
Especially the people of Yan Kingdom, their eyes widened, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity.
For them, this was the first time in their lives that they had witnessed foreign fighter jets take off and fly freely in the sky at such a close distance.
At this moment, a familiar voice came to Lin Chenran's ears: "Boy Lin, what do you think of this MiG-29 fighter jet?"
Lin Chenran turned around suddenly and saw Mr. Wei standing in front of him.
He couldn't help but be surprised, because Mr. Wei appeared in the audience in casual clothes today to watch the performances of aerobatic demonstration teams from various countries.
"Old Wei! How do you..."
Lin Chenran was so surprised that he couldn't speak clearly.
"He'll be here! There are so many people here, what if something happens to you?"
Lin Chenran's heart was in his throat when he thought of possible dangerous situations.
However, Mr. Wei smiled slightly and shushed slightly, signaling Lin Chenran not to be too nervous.
Then, he stretched out one hand to his mouth and made a silent gesture. At the same time, he put his other hand affectionately on Lin Chenran's shoulder and said, "Don't make such a fuss, I'm just an ordinary person today." Ordinary old people, enjoy the aerobatic performances of aerobatic teams from various countries.”
"But...your..."
Lin Chenran smiled bitterly. You are great!
Mr. Wei frowned slightly, stared at Lin Chenran closely, and asked in a slightly serious tone: "Why didn't you answer the question I asked you just now?"
Lin Chenran shook his head gently. There was no wave on his handsome face at this moment, as if he already knew the topic well.
Then he said calmly: "The MiG-29 fighter jet is far inferior to its sister model, the Su-27 fighter jet!"
When he said this, Lin Chenran's eyes showed a hint of disdain.
Lin Chenran looked down upon the MiG-29 fighter jet from the bottom of his heart.
Although it is classified as a third-generation fighter, in fact, it is difficult to call it excellent in all aspects of performance.
This aircraft is essentially just a third-generation fighter used for homeland air defense.
To put it bluntly, it has many shortcomings, such as a very small combat radius, limited ammunition capacity, etc.
Under normal circumstances, only when the MiG-29 and Su-27 fighter jets cooperate with each other to form a high-low combination can it fully demonstrate its due combat effectiveness.
If the Su-27 fighter is lost as a partner, the MiG-29's combat effectiveness will be significantly reduced.
Looking back at the beginning, the Yanguo Air Force planned to purchase a batch of third-generation fighter jets from Mao Xiong to enhance its own strength.
Mao Xiong strongly recommended to them the MiG-29 fighter jet produced by itself.
And Yan Guo only wants Su-27 fighter jets, not MiG-29 fighter jets.
However, Mao Xiong does not plan to sell Su-27 fighter jets to Yan State.
After some consideration, the Yanguo Air Force finally decided not to purchase this third-generation fighter jet.
The main reason is that this third-generation fighter has too many shortcomings.
Later, the Yanguo Air Force strongly supported domestically produced third-generation fighter jets.
"Old Wei, if you give me a choice, I would rather choose the Dragon Shadow fighter from our 077 Machinery Arsenal than the MiG-29 fighter from Mao Xiong. The main reason is that it has more shortcomings than ours."
< br>
Lin Chenran shook his head and rejected Mao Xiong's MiG-29 fighter from his heart.
"No wonder you have always opposed the military's purchase of MiG-29 fighter jets."
Wei Lao suddenly realized.
"Old Wei, why did Mao Xiong send MiG-29 fighter jets to participate in the large-scale weapons and equipment exhibition held by our country? It is to attract customers from other countries to place orders."
Lin Chenran saw clearly what Mao Xiong was doing.
……
The air shows from various countries have completed their air performances, and it is Yan Guo's turn next.
The J-7 fighter jet performed a flight demonstration first, which attracted cheers from the people of Yan Kingdom.
But for delegations from other countries, it almost doesn’t make sense.
After the J-7 fighter aerobatic team performed, it was the turn of the Dragon Shadow fighter from the 077 Machinery Arsenal to take the stage.
"The Dragon Shadow fighter jet is about to start a flight show!"
