Stop Fooling the Us, China Really is Doing This!

Chapter 41: The exercise begins, facing off against fifth-generation and fourth-and-a-half-generation fighters!Two days later, on the vast and boundless military exercise field.

All preparations were complete.

This significant live-combat test was like an active volcano about to erupt.

Beneath the calm surface lay endless power.

At the core military base of the Eastern Theater Command, thirty-six fighter jets were lined up neatly on the runway.

Like a flock of steel eagles about to spread their wings and soar.

Shining with an awe-inspiring metallic luster under the sunlight.

To ensure this live-combat test went smoothly, every fighter jet had undergone rigorous inspection and tuning.

These fighter jets were organized into four combat squadrons.

Each squadron had its own unique combat style and mission focus.

Participating were not only the J-20 Fighter Jet but also the J-16 Fighter Jet!

The fuselage design of the J-20 Fighter Jet could be called a perfect fusion of art and technology.

Its sleek lines were not just for aesthetics but also to minimize air resistance during high-speed flight.

When starting the engines, the powerful thrust allowed it to pierce through the clouds at extreme speeds, and its lightning-fast velocity left the enemy with no time to react.

It also possessed a unique Stealth ability, allowing it to ”vanish without a trace” on enemy radar screens.

In terms of weapon systems, the J-20 Fighter Jet was equipped with advanced air-to-air missiles; these missiles possessed ultra-long-range strike capabilities, capable of delivering a fatal blow before the enemy even realized it.

At the same time, the onboard cannon could not be underestimated.

In ”close-quarters combat,” these cannons would act like fire-breathing swords, shredding enemy aircraft to pieces!

Meanwhile, there was also a squadron of J-16 Fighter Jet!

As the 4.5-generation fighter of the Dragon Kingdom, before the J-20 Fighter Jet was unveiled, the J-16 Fighter Jet had always shouldered the major task of guarding the Dragon Kingdom’s airspace.

It also possessed impressive performance.

The airframe was robust and durable; this sturdiness allowed it to maintain excellent performance in complex and harsh combat environments, whether in high heat, extreme cold, or high humidity, the J-16 Fighter Jet could handle it with ease.

Its payload capacity was also top-tier; in addition to conventional bombs and missiles, it could also carry advanced electronic warfare pods.

These pods could jam enemy radar and communication systems, creating favorable conditions for friendly combat operations.

On the battlefield, the J-16 Fighter Jet could not only engage in fierce aerial dogfights with enemy aircraft but also execute precision strikes against ground targets.

It could carry precision-guided bombs to conduct ”surgical” strikes against important enemy targets such as military facilities and command posts.

When this flock of steel eagles soared into the sky, everyone present couldn’t help but look up!

A surge of indescribable emotion welled up among the crowd.

Especially the older generals, whose eyes shimmered with tears of excitement—a reflection on the passage of time.

From being destitute and blank to seeing the Fifth-generation fighter freely galloping in the blue sky today, only they themselves knew the hardships of the journey.

The exercise commander-in-chief, Commander-in-Chief Wei Jiantong, felt the corners of his mouth gradually lift; he was clearly touched by this scene as well.

With such combat-capable fighter jets, and Pilots who were the elite of the elite, even when facing several times their number of enemy aircraft, they would not back down!

Now, dealing with a mecha that might not even have a weapon system, even if the opponent was very advanced, it was not impossible to fight!

Commander-in-Chief Wei Jiantong’s confidence grew significantly!

Also watching this live-combat test was Director Zhao Kangbo of the Aviation Research Institute!

The Fifth-generation fighter was manufactured under his leadership, and now he wanted to witness with his own eyes which was stronger: the Fifth-generation fighter or the First-generation Mecha.

Besides these two, many high-ranking generals of the Eastern Theater Command also participated in watching this epoch-making live-combat exercise.

On the other side.

Su Chen held a briefcase in his hand, standing tall and straight!

He watched the fighter jets in the sky, his eyes shimmering with a faint light.
