Chapter 795 Benefits Are the Strongest Covenant

To be honest, the Phoenix missile has a great reputation, and it works seamlessly with the F14, but the actual destruction data is a bit embarrassing.

The range is indeed far enough, but because of the computer of this era, the radar on the missile is very good at scaring people from a long distance, but the hit rate is not as good as its reputation.

So the only question in this exercise is how many F4s can the two F14s destroy during the exercise.

In the command center, ten minutes later, the radar and fire control co-pilot of the Tomcat first shouted in surprise to find the enemy plane.

Then the two pilots heard a rapid fire control lock sound, followed by 4 consecutive 'missile launches'.

The F4 pilot plane on the other side was locked on by the missile, and the urgent cry of "maneuver, maneuver" came out.

After a while, the radar used by the command center for exercises showed that 3 F4s had been destroyed.

The referees in charge of the judgment discussed with each other for a while, and quickly agreed with the judgment that 3 F4s were destroyed by 4 Phoenix missiles.

Losing three fighter planes at once, but not even finding where the opponent is, one can imagine how much pressure the F4 pilots felt.

Fortunately, perhaps the commander of F4 has obtained a lot of information from the military and knows that the strength of F14 is in the middle and high altitudes.

Li Changheng listened to the commander of the F4 fighter plane in the command room and ordered to lower the altitude.

I immediately guessed that the US Navy must be biased towards the Tomcat in all aspects even for the exercise, but they really wanted to take the opportunity to test the real data of F14 vs. F4.

Li Changheng looked at Lieutenant General Lavin and Lieutenant General James with a frown.

LaVine smiled and assured, "Don't worry, it involves billions of dollars in contracts, we won't really mess up this business.

Moreover, judging from the data of the F4 on the Viet Nam battlefield, the MiG-21 may still use its cannons and missiles to threaten the Tomcat fighter in terms of low-altitude field and rapid turning performance.

Let Farouk and others know the weakness of the F14 now, which means that in the future, the pilots will avoid low-altitude dogfights with the enemy as much as possible.

Tomcat has no record of being destroyed, which means that every enemy aircraft destroyed in the future will increase its reputation, understand? "

The reason is very simple, but Li Changheng still frowned and shook his head, "In the extreme environment, the two B-type Tomcats only carry 8 missiles.

Moreover, the 4 missiles just destroyed only 3 F4s, after that,,. "

"Wait, wait," LaVine Burnett laughed, "Henry, I didn't expect you to understand something."

Li Changheng was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.

In real air combat, unless forced to do so, the first thing that is impossible is to send two fighters to fight the enemy's 8 fighters.

The second is that once there are 8 fighters, 3 were destroyed in the first round, and the radar still couldn't find where the Tomcat was.

The enemy will definitely retreat if there is no need to defend.

In the unlikely event that the commander is really head-scratched, he only needs to destroy one or two planes in the second round, and the pilot himself will lose the courage to fight on.

The third is that this exercise was originally biased towards F14.

The set Tomcat is replaced with Boyin's engine, which has much better maneuverability and makes it easier to leave the battlefield.

In the desert area, it is really possible for the new Tomcat to have 2 vs. 8 MiG-21s, let alone MiG-17s.

Waiting for the destruction records to come in continuously, Tomcat should soon become the overlord of the sky in the desert area, and then orders will continue to appear in front of Boyin and Grumman.

At that time, I spent 360 million U.S. dollars to buy the shares of Boyin and Grumman, and it is still very easy to double them.

Moreover, he who strongly advocates Tomcats to enter the desert area has a greater voice in the board of directors of Boyin and Grumman.

He looked at Farouk and the two who followed him in suits, but they must be observers of the Selie military.

It was tense for a few minutes at first.

After the two Tomcats raised their altitude, used their speed to get rid of the F4, and took advantage of the longer range of the radar and missiles, they destroyed the two F4s again.

The remaining F4 fighter planes sent a request to retreat, and Farouk and others showed excited expressions on their faces.

Li Changheng knew that the contract was settled.

Then he took the opportunity to ask Lavin and James, "Is the navy interested in developing a ground-to-ground armed helicopter that can deal with tanks, ground armor and armed personnel?"

Lieutenant General LaVine and Lieutenant General James were taken aback for a moment, probably because of Li Changheng's excellent eyesight on the Tomcat fighter plane, their eyes lit up with thinking expressions within a few seconds.

The US Marine Corps can be said to be an armed force that is no less important than the Army.

At least 300,000 soldiers in the Vietnam War were Marines.

These guys say they belong to the Navy, but they actually do Army work.

If the Army has weapons and equipment, they must have them; if the Army does not have them, they will develop them themselves.

LaVine and James are of course interested in a gunship that can fight tanks.

Although the United States actually had armed helicopters at this time.

But the Huey Cobra is dominated by the Army, and the US Navy will never buy a Cobra if it has a choice.

Just like how advanced the F22 is, the U.S. Navy never thought about improving the F22, which is smaller than the Tomcat, and let it go on an aircraft carrier, but had to go for the F35.

"What new idea did you come up with?"

Li Changheng chuckled, he didn't have to think about it at all, just bring the Apache cottage over here.

And Bo Yin happened to be quite powerful on the helicopter.

Of course, Apache was not originally developed by Boyin, but the helicopter business of Hughes Flight Company will be acquired by McDonnell Douglas in the future.

And McDonnell Douglas was acquired by Boyin.

Then Boyin's Longbow radar was on the Apache, and this was the name of the Longbow Apache.

The survivability of the Longbow Apache is 60 times that of the Apache.

At this time, this kind of armed helicopter is really famous all over the world.

Recalling the data of the longbow in his mind, the more Li Changheng said, the brighter the eyes of Lavin and James became.

If it is really possible to target 8 targets at the same time as Li Changheng said, in the era when the performance of shoulder-mounted air defense missiles is not outstanding.

Once the longbow did appear, it became a tank killer.

Moreover, for the Marine Corps, although the Navy has no shortage of fighter jets and ground attack aircraft, it is because of the protection of the aircraft carrier.

Big bombers can only fly from overseas bases.

On land that is two or three hundred kilometers deep, a weapon that can suppress and destroy the enemy's armored forces in a short period of time is needed.

LaVine and James looked at each other, and quickly thought of the 10 million US dollars guaranteed by Li Changheng.

The two discussed in low voices for a while, then returned to Li Changheng and asked in a low voice, "Is the $200 million research and development fee enough?"

"I don't know that," Li Changheng shrugged.

Then he smiled and said, "Of course, the more R&D expenses, the better. However, in order to avoid trouble, we can pay them in batches according to the progress and the actual performance of the testing machine."

Lavin and James were overjoyed. Batching meant that when Boyin had to pay, as long as the progress and the prototype were really useful.

Then they can also get the benefit several times.
