In fact, not only Salman, but other princes and nobles who had recovered from the shock in this underground command hall also cast a possessive desire for the "loyal wingman" out of the instinctive desire of human beings.
There's no way. The cost of the American system. These princes and nobles who use American equipment all year round know better than anyone. Because of this, they will be particularly recognized for the excellent performance of the "loyal wingman".
Among other things, this kind of combat mode can at least help these Gulf countries save human resources.
We should know that like Saudi Arabia, the phenomenon of full equipment but serious shortage of pilots and ground crew is very common in Gulf countries. Take the Kuwaiti air force with the best combat readiness for example, the shortage of pilots is also more than 30%, and the shortage of ground crew is as high as 50%.
This is the combat readiness that Kuwait maintained when it was invaded by Iraq. In countries like oman and the United Arab Emirates, the shortage of pilots can even reach more than 60%.
Because of this, in the so-called military power ranking list conducted by private NGOs every year, the Gulf countries led by Saudi Arabia can occupy the top several good positions in the region. They look like fierce men with muscle explosion and golden guns. They can even break their wrists with Israel, the bully in the Middle East.
But in fact, in addition to the number on paper, the Gulf countries inside are actually very empty. Let alone the golden gun. It's three times a night. Whether they can stand up or not is a big problem.
Don't the princes and nobles of the Gulf countries know?
Of course, they know better than anyone else. Otherwise, how could they hold American Dad's thigh tightly and beg American Dad to give them full protection.
But the problem is that there is no way to solve it, because the treatment of formal citizens in the Gulf countries is too good. Relying on the huge income brought by oil, their welfare is ridiculously high.
If the state can send money to them on time without doing anything every day, why not lie down and enjoy life?
It's hard to join the army and train. The officers inside don't speak well. What's good to go?
Therefore, like Saudi Arabia, a large proportion of the troops of the Gulf states are mercenaries recruited from countries with ordinary economies such as Pakistan, Egypt and Sudan.
It's just that the mercenaries who hold up their airs can't talk about loyalty and sense of honor after all, just like Sheikh and Gamal who just finished the drill. It's good to win, but what if they lose?
It's not their own fault. It's also their strong opponent. Of course, no matter win or lose, the hard work fee can't be less. Otherwise, no one can guarantee whether the plane will have problems next time
The "loyal wingman" has solved this problem very well. At least it can reduce the use of pilots by half, which is not too friendly to the vast majority of Gulf countries. You know, the shortage of pilots in a considerable number of Gulf countries is about 40%. With the joining of "loyal wingman", it just fills this gap.
In this way, there will be security over the Gulf countries, and the princes and grandchildren who enjoy drinking and drinking every day will be more at ease. Do you think they can not be moved about it?
In fact, at this moment, several quick reaction princes and nobles surrounded Zhuang Jianye and began to ask about the specific price of the "loyal wingman", as well as the relevant control, operation and supporting auxiliary systems.
Zhuang Jianye naturally treated each other warmly and even had a very happy chat with a prince of Oman. Therefore, Zhuang Jianye also gave the prince a model of the combination of jnb-17c advanced trainer and tnb-31 "loyal wingman", which made the prince in traditional Arabic white robe laugh very happy.
This scene was not only recorded by the Royal photographer of the Omani royal family, but also attracted other princes and nobles to join in one after another, hoping to get a model of the combination of jnb-17c advanced trainer and tnb-31 "loyal wingman", plus Zhuang Jianye's witty words and exquisite introduction, which made the scene very hot.
However, in this hot scene, there was a man whose anger was worth scraping upward, with that cold face, so that the surrounding air was a little cool.
Hamilton, senior vice president of Defense Department of British bea systems, is really angry at this moment.
It's not because of the excellent performance of the combination of jnb-17c advanced trainer and tnb-31 "loyal wingman". Hamilton, as a representative of traditional British gentlemen, is not so careful.
In fact, the main reason for Hamilton's anger was the performance of pilots flying two "gale" MK2 fighters.
It is said that the training level of pilots in the Gulf countries is not good. A group of old soldiers are extravagant and licentious. They are good at flying eagles and horses. They catch up with each other with real swords and guns, and they can't pull their crotch one by one.
Hamilton felt a little exaggerated before. After all, big buyers who can talk about tens of billions of dollars a year and cut their hands madly in the international arms market can train the team very well with a little heart. How can it be the external scandal of gold and jade?
However, Hamilton knows today, or his thinking logic is too simple. In fact, he did not expect that the military construction of the Gulf countries was so bad.
Compared with the new fighters equipped in service in recent years, the "gale" MK2 fighter is indeed much worse in performance, but as a typical entry-level third-generation aircraft, the "gale" MK2 fighter is at least not so bad that it can be easily beaten down without knowing where the enemy is?
If we are faced with a new generation of combat aircraft such as F-22, there is nothing to say. If we can't fight, we can't fight. After all, the advantage of generation difference lies there.
But what is the combination of jnb-17c advanced trainer and tnb-31 "loyal wingman"?
It is just an entry-level third-generation aircraft and a UAV carrying an advanced concept halo. In terms of actual technical performance, it does not open the intergenerational gap with the "gale" MK2 fighter.
Because of this, from the perspective of practical confrontation, the "gale" MK2 fighter still has the power of World War I with its relatively perfect avionics configuration and flight performance, supplemented by flexible tactics.
But as a result, the two "gale" MK2 fighters, like two drunken erlengzi, were knocked off with a hammer.
Is it that the "gale" MK2 fighter cannot cope with this a-shot b-guided combat mode?
Of course not. If you can't even cope with this, when dealing with the cruise of Soviet bombers in the 1980s, the "gale" MK2 fighter of the Royal Air force can't play cat and mouse games with the Soviet air force.
After all, as the other pole of the cold war, the Soviet Union was also a big player in a-shooting and b-guiding.
Based on this, the "gale" MK2 fighter is equipped with a perfect radar warning system, but as a result, the two "gale" MK2 fighters participating in the drill did not turn on the alarm when their radar was illuminated, but only turned on an alarm locked by the missile.
So that the "loyal wingman" guided by radar behind it for so long that the two planes were stunned and didn't find it.
At that time, Hamilton was as angry as two beautiful daughters who were looked at in a big way
