Just when this Phoenix aircraft was checking the flight path of the other party in real time, at this time, the outer aircraft 150 kilometers away from this aircraft obviously did not find that the volume and length of this aircraft exceed the volume of a normal medium-sized transport aircraft. The plane is still flying according to the original route.
At the same time, what Wang Bin, Qiu Shi and others did not know was that this aircraft was exactly what Zhao Feng had previously guessed. It was a new type of aircraft developed by a certain country and a prototype of a sixth-generation aircraft.
At this time, inside the aircraft, the pilot was boringly controlling the aircraft to fly according to a predetermined trajectory, and kept in touch with the base from time to time. At the same time, all the electronic devices inside the aircraft were turned on.
However, according to the design data of this aircraft, the radar system of this aircraft is very advanced. It not only has active detection radars, but also passive radars. Even in terms of anti-stealth capabilities, the radars of this aircraft are also the most advanced in the world. Top.
According to the data, the detection range of this aircraft for ordinary stealth fighters has reached more than 150 kilometers, and the detection of medium and large stealth targets has reached more than 250 kilometers.
However, at this time, the plane did not find the Phoenix fighter that was 150 kilometers away.
Of course, neither the pilot of the aircraft nor the aircraft base nor the R&D party think that anyone can find the aircraft.
However, as the world’s first test flight of the sixth-generation aircraft, the country that developed this aircraft obviously attaches great importance to it. During the test flight of the aircraft, the country that developed the aircraft used multiple satellites throughout the entire process. It and its surroundings are monitored.
In the process of monitoring the aircraft by their national satellites, one of the satellite monitors suddenly found a dark shadow at a distance of 150 kilometers from the aircraft. The most important thing is It is this vague shadow whose size is at least the size of a medium-sized transport aircraft, and it is flying in parallel at the same speed as the aircraft they are flying.
So he immediately screamed: “There is a situation. The plane we are flying has been detected by our competitor, and the other party has also sent a large stealth reconnaissance plane that we have never seen before to monitor our test flight. airplane.”
“What! How is this possible, my God, this is terrible! Report the coordinates of this aircraft immediately!” Just after the satellite monitor finished speaking, at this time the base’s monitoring station, the originally lazy personnel, It suddenly became flustered, and many people didn’t believe what he said at all.
You must know that this aircraft, as the first-generation sixth-generation aircraft developed by them in China, and the world’s first sixth-generation aircraft, its advanced level is absolutely the world’s top, and the stealth technology it uses is also the most advanced in the world. Yes, it is at least one level more advanced than the several stealth aircraft currently in service in their country, that is, the f two-two and f three-five. According to normal conditions, this aircraft is impossible to be discovered. According to the data, even It is a large-scale strategic warning radar, and it is impossible to detect the presence of this aircraft from a hundred kilometers away.
But now? Someone discovered the existence of this aircraft and monitored it as far as it was one hundred and five kilometers away.
The most important thing is that they themselves don’t know anything about it, and they don’t even know the existence of the plane that monitors them, and the other party is still a medium-to-large plane. If it weren’t for the satellite monitor’s inadvertent discovery, they would still I really don’t know the existence of the other party at all, so if the other party really wants to attack their aircraft, the consequences can be imagined.
How can this not shock them? At the same time, this situation also reveals a lot of information. First of all, their competitors, their radar technology and far beyond their imagination, that is to say, all the stealth aircraft in their country. , In the eyes of the other party, there is no difference at all from being invisible.
It is precisely because of this that the people in the entire base are anxious at this time. Of course, the first thing they have to do is to make the sixth-generation aircraft in the test flight and return first to avoid exposing more information.
Of course, the biggest problem facing them at this time is naturally to thoroughly understand the model and purpose of their competitor’s aircraft and other information.
You know, estimated satellite image analysis, this aircraft is not an ordinary civil aviation passenger aircraft or transport aircraft, which can be seen from the aircraft’s flying height and speed.
You must know that the flying altitude of this aircraft at this time has reached 16,000 meters, and at the same time, the flying speed has also reached 1.55 Mach at this time.
It is impossible for ordinary passenger aircraft and transport aircraft to reach this speed at all. The maximum flight speed of ordinary transport aircraft or civil aviation passenger aircraft is only subsonic, and at the same time, the flight altitude generally does not exceed 12,000 meters.
So after they saw it, this was definitely a supersonic stealth bomber or reconnaissance aircraft developed by their competitors, and it was still a medium-to-large flight, with a bomb load of at least ten tons, and it also had a variety of weapons. Mounting capabilities, including strategic weapons.
Such a discovery may not let them worry about it. After all, the emergence of this non-mobile aircraft means that their country’s strategic advantage in this area will no longer exist.
Of course, Wang Bin is naturally not clear about the situation of the national base of this strange aircraft. When Wang Bin and the others saw the aircraft hurriedly flying away from the open sea and heading for further waters, the Phoenix number He didn’t keep up. After all, the Phoenix 1 aircraft was at least test-flying at this time, and at this time, there were no weapons at all on this aircraft. Once it flew out of the inland sea, it was likely to encounter danger.
Once the aircraft is in the open sea, there is absolutely no way for the base based on the current situation of the aircraft. Moreover, this aircraft is not the drone that was originally tested. Shooting down is at most the loss of a UAV.
But now this plane is a medium-to-large plane with crew inside. The most important thing is that the cost of the drone and this plane is very different. The cost of this plane is at least several times higher than before. The UAV, especially the cost of this prototype.
It should be known that with the complete mass production of the Tiangong 001 UAV and the improvement in the production process and the use of materials, the cost of the Tiangong 001 UAV has been reduced to a very low level. At this point, the price of a single Tiangong 001 UAV has been reduced to about 100 million, and this is less than the price sold to the military.
And this Phoenix aircraft can, not to mention others, only in terms of cost, it has reached about 2.68 billion dollars, which means that even if the aircraft is replaced by US dollars, it will cost more than 600 million dollars.
