"First of all, Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is huge! And its engine was even extended by tens of centimeters at high altitudes and high speeds due to thermal expansion and contraction! So its technology was not considered mature at the time."
"Secondly, Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is 32 meters long and 17 meters wide. It is very large."
"But the size of the opponent. According to visual inspection, its length is about 20 meters, and its wingspan is only about 12 or 13 meters. Secondly, the Blackbird cannot reach the speed of Mach 3 at low altitude. It can only fly at speeds above Mach 3 at an altitude of about 24,000 meters."
"The other party used a smaller engine to develop a more powerful thrust, and all problems such as thermal expansion and deformation of materials were overcome. This in itself is a huge difficulty."
Dr. William said quickly.
These generals also know the seriousness of the matter now. If nothing else, they can't do it now, but others can do it, which means that others are much stronger than you.
"And everyone, although I don't want to say it, I have to say that the opponent can reach Mach 3 at low altitude, so it is not impossible to reach a faster speed." Dr. William finally added.
"Can it be faster?" Kamp couldn't help but ask.
"As a scientist, I understand that when the next door releases something, they will not show all the performance to us. This is different from us. The other party must have reservations. This is already their habit." Dr. William smiled bitterly.
Everyone looked at each other, and then they realized, yes, it is impossible for the other party to show all their abilities, and let alone the other party, even they cannot do this.
"Do we have any countermeasures? Or can we come up with similar products?" Kamp doesn't care about technology, or he doesn't understand technology. He just needs to know whether he has something similar in his hands.
"No." Dr. William gave the answer directly, "Our previous XB-70 plan has been completely ended, but it was a bomber, and it was too old, so the design is not useful at all."
"Even if it is used, if nothing else, we have not come up with enough response plans in a short period of time."
"In other words, now others can have weapons to deter all our aircraft carrier battle groups at any time, but we can't come up with countermeasures?" Kamp's face.
"Research on fighter jets can be carried out simultaneously, but we need the hypersonic Air Defense Missile for the time being. However, this aspect is difficult." Dr. William shook his head.
For a moment, everyone in the entire conference room had ugly expressions, because of this thing... Why did it suddenly feel like the style of painting had changed, and we needed to chase the enemy?
Is this gap too big?!
These generals also began to discuss urgently. In fact, it was not just them. Although other countries in the world did not compete, international relations had a lot to do with the other party's military strength.
Under such circumstances, countries naturally have to react as quickly as possible to such things. For a while, there seems to be a bit of turmoil in the world. Everyone is discussing this new stealth fighter that has a speed of Mach 3 or even above.
The most nervous ones are naturally the surrounding countries. Let's not talk about the Southeast Island, which is the clown. Countries like the island country next door, Curry Country, became tense in an instant.
Although the Southeast Asian countries are nervous, they are okay because they currently have a very good relationship with them.
However, the thoughts of these countries have also begun to wander. Now the situation seems to have begun to change. While their military strength has begun to increase, can they get closer to each other?
And for a moment, the recent chaotic political situation seemed to be less important. The voices were much quieter, and no one seemed to pay attention.
In other words, who pays attention to them? Everyone is discussing this new stealth fighter.
However, what everyone did not expect was that everyone thought that this matter would be discussed for a year and a half, and then there might be an official response. After all, everyone is already used to the official attitude in China.
But who knew that just after the first day of the air show, People's Daily's official Weibo suddenly published a new press release.
"The first day of Pearl Airshow is over, the latest strength of national defense is demonstrated!"
"On the first day of Pearl Airshow that just passed, what caught everyone's attention, or what attracted the world's attention, was undoubtedly a stealth fighter that appeared at the same time as two J20s."
"This handsome stealth fighter was initially speculated to be a foreign trade version, and it showed super performance with a top speed of Mach 3. But whether this stealth fighter is a foreign trade version, this newspaper interviewed the relevant departments after the first day of the air show."
"Later, it was confirmed by relevant departments that this stealth fighter is not a foreign trade version, and it is different from our other fighter jets, which are conventionally named starting with J. It has its own name: Phantom! And it has been confirmed that the Phantom's engine is not Taihang's WS series, but a brand-new engine designed from the ground up, and the engine series is also named Phantom!"
With the news release of People's Daily, netizens rushed over instantly, and once again sent Phantom Fighter Jet directly to the hot search!
"If you like this name, okay, don't say anything else. From now on I will play Phantom."
"Just hit Mach 3 and I can do it for a year."
"Shouldn't the people upstairs be blowing for the rest of their lives?"
"Of course I can't brag for a lifetime. Will my life be that short? Maybe fighter jets with over ten Machs will come in the future."
"I love this name! It's so awesome!"
"Let me go, the country is trying to make a big move just in time for the holidays! Has a brand new stealth fighter come out without any fanfare?"
"Haha, what a bunch of idiots are bragging about a new design. Isn't the appearance design very similar to the J20? It's obviously copied, right? And it's too ugly. It's not as classic as the appearance designs of the F22 and F35. It's a classic aerodynamic layout that has been proven in combat. Don't use it to brag about a fighter that has not experienced actual combat, okay?"
"NMSL upstairs!"
The outside world is turbulent, but internally I remain unmoving, as steady as a mountain. Jiang Yan Hai They are preparing to return to the secret test flight base near Rongcheng. The mission of showing up has been completed, and the test flight must continue. The sooner it is finalized, the better!
