Ning Lei did not mention to Liang Yuan that the Republic's naval and air force was already in trouble. Before the 8.09 air battle, the Republic also knew that its military equipment was backward, but there was no specific concept of how backward it was. After all, the war that shocked the Republic would not break out three years later.

Now Ning Lei shot down five enemy planes in the battle and injured one. The opponent is still the MiG23 fighter, which is extremely threatening in the eyes of the Republic. This has caused a great shock to HNA and the Air Force. More importantly, this happened during the extreme range of the F14 fighter, if it is.

After the 8.09 air combat in Nansha, the commanders of the sea and the air force gathered at Lingshui Airport. Deputy Air Force Commander Lin Xiaoshan spoke on the spot, "In history, our army has always believed that man will conquer nature. Man is the first priority and equipment is the second. From the 8.09 air combat, it can be seen that the Air Force has maintained nearly practical training over the years. "

Lin Xiaoshan opened his mouth and drew Ning Lei's victory to the name of the Air Force. No matter how unwilling HNA was, he could not refute Lin Xiaoshan on this point. Only weapons were not the same as in the 1980s, even in the 21st century, even if it was proposed in the army, there was no good result.

The Republic has always believed that no matter how poor it is, it cannot shorten its ambition. In that era when it was backward everywhere, there was no way to find anything worth showing off except the spiritual atomic bomb republic.

Under the pressure of righteousness, HNA could only suffer this mute loss. Navy commander Xiao Guanghua complained privately that since weapons are not important, it will be changed to J-6 cruise Nansha tomorrow.

"Uncle Ning, what do you want to get?" Liang Yuan asked.

The 1980s were an era when the Republic was completely backward. There were too many things that Wu had to introduce. If there was no specified range above, Liang Yuan would not be able to communicate with Grumman at all. It would be impossible to say that he would help us upgrade the entire industrial system.

"Well, the opinions have not been unified yet. Some people say they want a new model of aircraft engine, some say they want a discounted price, and some people ask for technology transfer." Ning Lei said helplessly.

After hearing Ning Lei's words, Liang Yuan wanted to slap all those who made suggestions to death. Many things in China were broken in the hands of such people. He was cowardly in his work and was first-class. If Grumman Company could do these requirements, he would have to talk about "half-way talks without any result."

"Uncle Ning, whoever proposes to negotiate." Liang Yuan would not have taken this difficult thing into his hands.

"I've already talked about it and was rejected by Grumman at that time." Ning Lei said with a wry smile.

Only then did Liang Yuan realize that both sides were at a desperate situation and then wanted to come to him.

I said that with the Americans' omnipresent intelligence system, why did he have no response to the Nansha air battle for so long? Liang Yuan thought resentfully, just like before, the two sides broke down and remembered his own panacea to save the situation.

"Uncle Ning, I can't talk about those suggestions such as changing aircraft engines and technology transfer." Liang Yuan gave in neatly.

"What are some good suggestions for Xiaoyuan, similar to the one I bought from the second-hand F14 fighter last time?" Ning Lei asked with some anticipation.

Liang Yuan's brain was spinning rapidly, evaluating the price the Republic urgently needed and Grumman could pay.

Liang Yuan was silent for seven or eight minutes before continuing: "Uncle Ning, I have an idea."

"Have you heard of the two-way data link of anasw-27" Liang Yuan asked.

"What is that?" Yu Lei was confused.

"Uncle Ning has flew over the F40 in the United States?"

"Fly by."

"There is a very practical function on the f40. The radar officer in the rear seat can obtain 8 targets discovered by its radar from other f14 fighters who are booting up and searching. Has this function been tested?"

"It has been tested and is a very practical function, but that battlefield communication function needs to be transferred through an ex early warning machine before it can be used." Ning Lei said.

"Uncle Ning, your news is outdated." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

"Awasw-27 two-way data link Americans have developed the latest C model. The new model data link abandons the condition that F14 fighter must pass the E2C early warning aircraft when multi-machine communication. With the support of the early warning aircraft, up to 4 F14 fighters can form a temporary network. Uncle Ning should know better than me."

The ability of this heavy fighter to act as a small early warning aircraft at any time is that the Republic has entered the new century and obtained only after Russia introduced the Su-30 fighter jet. In terms of practical application, this data exchange capability between aircraft groups will greatly expand the diverse selectivity of the HNA or the Air Force when completing specific tactical tasks.

"Oh? Where did you get the news from Xiaoyuan?" Ning Lei's voice couldn't help but raise a tone.

"What I saw from AIA, Grumman received an upgrade contract for an H4 fighter, and since January this year, it has successively upgraded the old data links of all F14 fleets of the US Navy to AASW-27C."

"The new data link is indeed good. Xiaoyuan would have helped Uncle Ning if he could talk." Ning Lei said smacking his lips.

Although Ning Lei became famous in one battle and killed the Vietnamese Air Force, the most troublesome thing for HNA is the range of the F14 fighter.

After loading six air-to-air missiles with two long, two medium and two short, the F14 fighter can only maintain a subsonic combat time of 15 minutes or a maximum of 3 minutes of supersonic combat time in the Nansha Islands. If a poor control is made, the F14 fighter will run out of fuel and fall into the sea. It can be said that every time you cruise the Nansha Islands, the risks taken by the pilots are extremely great.

If there is an ANAASW-27C data link, HNA can take off an F14 fighter that only carries two Rattlesnake close-range infrared fighting bombs as a small early warning aircraft.

The two rattlesnake short-range infrared fighting bombs carried by the f40 fighter are less than 200 kilograms. The range of the light-mounted F14 fighter will be greatly improved. It can maintain one hour of patrol time at a distance of 000 kilometers away from the base. For the F14 fighter's powerful awg9 Doppler radar, its 200-kilometer detection range allows the F14 fighter to master the air situation near the Nansha without having to fly over the Nansha.
