As soon as he said this, the princes and nobles present immediately whispered.
UAV for air combat!
This concept has not been mentioned. As early as the cold war, the United States and the Soviet Union dreamed of using UAVs for air combat, and also did a series of experiments and verification work for this purpose. However, the conditions at that time did not allow, so the United States and the Soviet Union successively abandoned the practical research of this concept.
However, in the theoretical circle, the research on the application of UAV in modern air combat has not stopped, but it is only limited to theory.
Of course, so far, the only science fiction blockbuster that will carry forward UAV air combat is the science fiction blockbuster made in Hollywood. Because of this, when Zhuang Jianye put forward the concept of "loyal wingman" in front of many princes and nobles, after they were shocked, they began to ask each other, is this thing that only appears in science fiction reliable?
Not to mention these common laymen princes and nobles, such senior people as Hamilton and Faisal, also saw someone really apply the concept of UAV air combat to practice for the first time in their life.
So when they heard Zhuang Jianye's words, they were even more surprised than those princes and nobles.
You know, this is something that even Americans only exist at the theoretical level, and Zhuang Jianye's China take-off has been realized?
"What do you think?"
Just when they looked at the tnb-31 "loyal wingman" for a moment and didn't know what to do, Prince Salman sat in front of them turned his head and asked them softly.
No way, Prince Salman is a complete layman in aviation technology. Although he has general aircraft driving qualification and has tried to fly fighter, he still belongs to the level of Xiaobai compared with those senior aviation technology experts.
"This..." Faisal hesitated.
Hamilton was very calm: "Well, your highness, although the concept of UAV air combat has existed for a long time, no one can do it so far, because it is not just a problem of whether UAV can fly, but a problem of mutual cooperation between UAV and UAV, which involves a large number of technical problems in the fields of avionics, intelligent control, data link transmission and some artificial intelligence , has gone far beyond the scope of ordinary aviation engineering.
Because of this, even American giants such as Loma, nope and Boeing dare not try in this regard, because the complexity is unimaginable. A bad UAV will not help someone to drive the fighter, but also interfere with the normal operation of the fighter, In this regard, it was mentioned in the forward-looking technical report of Loma company the year before last... "
Hamilton paused here, unscrewed the high-grade mineral water on one side, drank a mouthful and moistened his throat, Then he said: "so I personally don't think much of China's take-off of this' loyal wingman ', because this is not a simple problem of UAVs and drones flying into the sky, but a problem of close coordination. I don't think it can be so perfect with China's take-off technical strength!"
Hamilton's remark is quite polite. After all, he is a traditional British gentleman. He has to be more or less self-restraint. In fact, in his heart, he almost scolded the "loyal wingman" as dog hair.
No way, Hamilton knew too much about the careful thinking of Middle East princes and nobles such as Prince Salman.
This is the same as their bubble beauty. No matter what grade they have, those who take the initiative are always rejected by them. They feel that those mediocre fat and vulgar powder are not worthy of their noble and incomparable magic gun.
On the contrary, those beautiful girls who can remain mysterious and play some careful tricks so that you can never guess the real ideas of beautiful women can brighten their eyes. They think this woman is interesting and can do it. Then they get out of control and want to die.
Now Zhuang Jianye's skill is a little trick made by Xinji green tea woman to turn chicken into Phoenix?
What is the concept of "loyal wingman" not to attract stupid princes like Prince Salman who know a little about aviation technology but feel that they have a high vision and only buy expensive ones instead of the right ones?
If they have nothing to do with British bea systems, the problem is that they are not involved in their fist products now. Can "typhoon" fighters be successfully exported!
You know, since the "gust" of France and the "typhoon" of Europe formed a two power pattern in the European continent, the two countries began to look for a breakthrough in export.
There is no way. The R & D investment in the past decade has overwhelmed European countries. They are eager to sell this advanced fighter in order to dilute the procurement costs of various countries and recover R & D funds.
Britain, in particular, has a severe decline in its strength, and hopes to make a lot of money here in the "typhoon" fighter. Otherwise, it will not break the unspoken rule of developed countries prohibiting the sale of aviation product manufacturers and related technologies to developing countries without aviation manufacturing foundation, and transfer the eliminated "jet stream" 31 small aircraft to Saudi Arabia.
It's just to try to catch the dog family of Saudi Arabia and sell their own "typhoon".
As for the starting price of Prince Salman, it is not a problem. As long as Saudi Arabia buys more "typhoons", the bottom line of British gentlemen can be as low as you despair.
Unexpectedly, Prince Salman's way to solve the problem is not to use money, but to pull a friend business called China take-off and play with strength.
At first, Hamilton was not afraid. After all, he was neither Boeing nor Airbus. His understanding of China's take-off only remained that he was an established aviation spare parts supplier, and privately did some shady underground transactions of high-end materials and some restricted products.
As for the finished aircraft models, I have seen them several times in the past air show, but I have never seen the foreign sales record, which makes Hamilton feel that China's take-off, like most East Asian manufacturing enterprises in his impression, is just a low-end fitting factory working for them in developed countries.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Jianye not only displayed the jnb-17c advanced trainer with three generations of aircraft level, but also took out the tnb-31 "loyal wingman" in this secret special session held by China take-off for the princes and nobles of the Middle East.
Hamilton is not worried about the jnb-17c advanced trainer. After all, the princes and nobles in the Middle East are higher than the top one by one. What they can see is the top equipment of the United States. How about the jnb-17c advanced trainer.
But tnb-31 "loyal wingman" is different. The concept that only exists in science fiction imagination suddenly shines into reality. Just like Lamborghini uses all carbon fiber and Ferrari is equipped with 16 cylinders, it directly attacks the souls of these princes and nobles. It can't get an impulse. It can really pay directly.
After all, buying only expensive ones and not the right ones is by no means satire and laughter. These foolish princes can really do it.
Therefore, it's strange that Hamilton can say good words to Zhuang Jianye.
Hearing the speech, Prince Salman frowned and immediately looked at his aviation technical consultant Faisal. Faisal hesitated, but before he could speak, Zhuang Jianye shouted with a microphone: "it's human nature that everyone must have doubts about the concept of 'loyal wingman'. I'll beat a drum in my heart for the first time. Is this reliable?
But whether it's reliable or not, I only believe in one sentence. Actual combat is the only standard to test the concept. If you want to know whether our "loyal wingman" is OK, you can find some real fighters to fight with my "loyal wingman" and see the quality? "
