Chapter 600 Polish the Eagle's Eyes
"The Air Force is born to attack!"
A few days later, the same words were also said in Lu Jiadong's mouth, but the place where he said this was no longer in the semi-underground command of the Iranian Air Force, but in the workshop where the F-14a fighter aircraft at Noje Air Base was maintained and stared at the f-14a "Tomcat" fighter jet in front of him that had been dismantled. A thoughtful smile appeared on Lu Jiadong's face and said slowly to Major General Fakuri, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Air Force beside him:
"But before this, you have to polish your eyes. If a 'eagle' has no eyes, no matter how powerful its claws are, it will be a headless "fly". At that time, you won't use the enemy's '******' and you will hit you to death!"
"But......."
After hearing Lu Jiadong's words and looking at the F-14a fighter jet that was undergoing intense modification, Major General Fakuri couldn't help but hesitate. Since listening to Wu Rui's explanation of the overall combat system that day, Major General Fakuri has been deeply confused.
Because according to his experience and understanding of air force equipment, it is even more difficult for Iran to complete the entire system combat requirements mentioned by Wu Rui than climbing to the sky. Not to mention that the pilots and technicians of the Iranian Air Force are in very bad condition. Just talking about equipment problems, there are many important key nodes missing.
First, the Iranian Air Force has not established an effective coordination system for various types of troops, which has basically made the air defense missiles and aviation troops in a state of fighting each other and cannot be organically integrated; secondly, the lack of effective response methods for Iraq's air defense system makes the Iranian Air Force very afraid of attacking easily; finally, and most importantly, Iran does not have the real-time command and control capabilities of air power, and can only rely on the guidance of ground radar stations, resulting in extremely low operational efficiency.
Because of this, in Major General Fakuri's view, in order to exert his tactical coordination capabilities like Wu Rui, the Iranian Air Force needs at least an efficient communication transmission system, an advanced electronic countermeasure system, and an excellent air early warning aircraft. Looking at the current world air force, there are no more than five fingers in the country that can have the above points, and none of them are called "China".
Therefore, when Wu Rui finished speaking, Fakuri wanted to ask questions, but Jarrad, who was sitting next to him, did not give him this opportunity, because the air force commander focused all his attention on the m-7 ground attack missile. No matter what, this big stick that can be too tit for Iraq is what makes Jarrad and even the entire Iranian top leaders excited about it.
Fakuri, who knew it well, did not fail to raise his concerns. However, he was just an air force general who had just recovered. He did not say anything but gained full trust from the top leaders. Jarrard trusted him very much and even handed over the actual combat command of the Iranian Air Force to him. However, the limitations of the army still restricted Jarrard's thinking. Therefore, every time he made a comment on this, Jarrard would say:
"Surface-to-ground missiles are the foundation that makes pagans frightened!"
In this way, Major General Fakuri had to choose to shut up. In addition, the heavy work of reorganizing the Iranian Air Force also made him futile. Therefore, Major General Fakuri put this matter in his heart and prepared to find a suitable time to understand. He happened to come to Noje Air Force Base today to inspect the combat readiness situation. He took this opportunity to enter the Chinese military technical team station where the modification plan was being implemented here, so as to solve the long-established questions......
"But Mr. Lu, I think you should know too!"
After a while, Major General Fakuri looked at the opposite side with a frown, and said word by word to the young Chinese who have won a high reputation among the Iranian top leaders and the military:
"The Iranian Air Force is very lacking in many aspects, just like the eyes you said, we don't have it at all!"
"General, I don't deny your opinion!"
After hearing Major General Fakuri's words, Lu Jiadong smiled slightly, looked away from the nervous and busy body, and looked at the air force general in front of him with a strong face, full of passion and experienced. Just after Lu Jiadong arrived in Iran, he learned from Wu Rui that this senior officer who had received a full set of American tactics further studies.
He is very capable. Putting aside certain political factors, he can be called an excellent air force leader. Without saying anything else, he came here from Fakuri to ask him a series of profound and professional questions. Lu Jiadong felt that this person was definitely a rare general in the Iranian air force.
You should know that the current Iranian top leaders and military are attracted by the m-7 ground attack missiles. Compared to this, Lu Jiadong's system of operations that he values more are ignored by most Iranians. Fortunately, the new tanks, last-sensitivity missiles and the latest m-7 ground attack missiles have won reputation in the Iranian top leaders.
In addition, Iran did not waste any more money, so the request for Lu Jiadong to modify several Iranian combat aircraft was acquiesced and agreed by Iranian senior management. After that, he ignored it and let Lu Jiadong lead the Chinese military technical team to do whatever he wanted in the Noje Air Force Base.
In this way, although it gave the Chinese military technical team a lot of freedom and room for play, Lu Jiadong always felt inexplicable in his heart that the emperor was not anxious about the eunuch. He was very worried that his simple miniature version of the air force offensive and defensive combat system would be built and no one would use it?
You should know that this is an experiment that Lu Jiadong has done his best to explore the future Chinese Air Force combat system in actual combat. However, the M-7 ground attack missiles have overwhelmed the tests that Lu Jiadong has high expectations may face the embarrassing situation of no one's interest. Without the guinea pigs, there will be no real actual combat data. Without real combat data, it will be impossible to build a Chinese Air Force combat system that is close to actual combat!
Originally, Lu Jiadong wanted to wait until all the modifications were over before going to Tehran. I believe that with his relationship in Iran and the support of some visionary Iranian generals, this experiment could still be advanced. Just as Lu Jiadong was careful to doze, Major General Fakuri, who was well versed in the Air Force strategy and tactics, found himself. This made Lu Jiadong feel like he was sleepy and encountered a pillow. Because of this, when talking about the topics they were concerned about, Lu Jiadong was extremely open and honest:
"But I won't agree completely!" Lu Jiadong said, stretched out his hand to scan, and several American F-4e and F-14a fighter jets parked in the large factory were continued:
"Because in my opinion, the foundation of your country's air force is really good. With a slight improvement, you can completely improve your combat effectiveness to a higher level. Although it cannot be as efficient and practical as the Israeli Air Force, it is enough to deal with the Iraqis!"
"Mr. Lu, I appreciate your confidence and responsibility very much, but what you said just now is also the most confused thing about me!"
"I understand the general's idea. The missing equipment needs complete sets of accessories to make up for it, otherwise it will not be able to fight at all!" A calm and confident smile appeared on Lu Jiadong's face, and his bright eyes showed a firm look:
"This is both the American style and the Soviet principle, but we Chinese are very different. Since we cannot find other complete sets of equipment, it is better to use the weapons and equipment that can be used in our hands to the extreme!"
As he said that, Lu Jiadong raised his finger and pointed to the radar compartment of the F-14a fighter in front of him and continued: "I just mentioned the eyes of the 'Gashawk'. Without early warning aircraft, in my opinion, the an/awg9 pulse Doppler radar on the F-14a fighter is the best 'eye'!"
"an/awg9 pulse Doppler radar?" After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Major General Fakuri couldn't help but be stunned, but then he reacted and stared at Lu Jiadong with an extremely strange look:
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean is to let the F-14a fighter take on the functions of an early warning aircraft?"
"The early warning aircraft is not yet discussed, but it is still possible to do some command and guidance, data transmission and collaborative attack tasks. You should know that the an/awg9 pulse Doppler radar can detect more than 20 targets and track six targets at the same time. With a detection distance of more than 300 kilometers, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small air early warning radar!"
After saying this, Lu Jiadong suddenly paused, then raised his eyes to look at the legendary "Tongcat" and became the leader among swept-wing fighter jets. A classic that countless military fans in later generations have been obsessed with. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He turned a fighting "cat" into a "dog" with a keen sense of smell. If he knew it would be badly criticized by later generations, but this thought did not last long. Lu Jiadong turned his gaze back to reality and stared at the radar of the F-14a fighter jet and continued:
"However, although the an/awg9 pulse Doppler radar has excellent performance, it is still a bit reluctant to be the core of the small air command system. To put it bluntly, the 'eyes' are not bright enough. Therefore, we used the 1553b data bus to organically integrate the newly developed data link system and the ground radar detection pod, and at the same time, the downward shooting ability of the an/awg9 pulse Doppler radar, especially the target detection ability under complex terrain, is greatly improved. In this way, I think the eyes of this 'eagle' will be wiped bright enough!"
"Oh my god...1553b data bus, data link system, ground radar detection pod...these technologies are simply..."
