Chapter 1195 The 5th Zhuhai Air Show

This year's Zhuhai Air Show was held later than in previous years.

Just after Christmas, the United States announced its victory in the Iraq War. When the world was focused on the news of the United States' victory in the Iraq War, the 5th Zhuhai Air Show in 2004 was finally held in the expectation of military fans!

Since the first Zhuhai Air Show was held in 1996, after eight years, the Zhuhai Air Show has achieved five major leaps: increasing international influence, increasing attraction, increasingly mature management and operation, increasingly significant benefits, and a stronger professional atmosphere.

The entire Zhuhai Air Show was full of giants, with nearly 800 exhibitors from 41 countries and regions.

In addition to China, world-renowned aviation companies from the United States, Russia, France, the United Kingdom and other countries all appeared.

The J-10 fighter jets of the "August 1st" flight demonstration team performed a difficult level 6 formation flight, and the J-11 fighter jets of the "August 1st" flight demonstration team also performed a difficult formation flight performance.

The Russian "Swift" flight demonstration team performed aerial performances with MiG-2 fighter jets.

The French Air Force aerobatic team Patrouille de France performed aerial performances with Rafale fighters, Mirage 2000 fighters, and Mirage 4000 fighters. This was also the first time that the French Mirage 4000 fighters appeared in Zhuhai.

The wonderful flight performances aroused cheers and applause.

The Zhuhai Air Show attracted more than one million visitors, including professionals, military fans, and of course, people who came to join in the fun.

Unlike previous sessions, this Zhuhai Air Show increased the proportion of the aerospace field. Yang Liwei and other six astronauts went to the scene to show the style of Chinese astronauts and communicate with relevant industry organizations.

In the field of Chinese aerospace, heavy exhibits such as the Shenzhou spacecraft, Chang'e probe, Queqiao satellite, and Long March 5 series launch vehicles were exhibited at the Zhuhai Air Show for the first time.

There are also many new things in the aviation field.

In terms of drones, the ‘Haidongqing’ unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the ‘Rainbow’ drone, and the ‘Wing Loong’ drone participated in the air show for the first time, appeared at the Zhuhai Air Show, and also performed flight performances, showing China’s research in the field of drones.

This has also been the focus of intelligence personnel from various countries.

According to the nature of the Chinese people, now taking out these three drones means that China has developed drones with more advanced performance, at least one or even two generations ahead of the ones exhibited. And now there are three drones, are there more drones hidden?

The ‘Haidongqing’ drone has long been discovered by major military powers, but China has never announced it to the public. Now it has finally been officially announced to the public.

The ‘Rainbow’ drone and the ‘Wing Loong’ drone appeared in the eyes of the world for the first time, and everyone realized that China has developed to this point in the field of drones.

In the field of helicopters, the 20-ton ‘Wu Diao’ helicopter and the 30-ton ‘Golden Eagle’ helicopter participated in the exhibition for the first time.

The 20-ton "Wu Diao" helicopter performed a performance of lifting an armored vehicle, which demonstrated the powerful performance of the "Wu Diao" helicopter and its military application of rapid troop deployment and mobility.

The 30-ton "Golden Eagle" helicopter even lifted a Type 81 light tank, which made people exclaim.

The series of Eagle helicopters developed by China currently cover helicopters in various fields of 30 tons and below.

There were 30 helicopters of different models of various Eagle series on the scene. Who knows how many helicopters China has now!

In terms of passenger aircraft, in addition to the Y-8 regional passenger aircraft, Y-13 regional passenger aircraft, and Y-10 domestic long-range wide-body trunk passenger aircraft that appeared at the Zhuhai Air Show before, the C919 domestic medium-range narrow-body trunk passenger aircraft, which was presented as a gift for National Day not long ago, also participated in the exhibition for the first time.

The C919 made its first flight in late October, which was quite eye-catching, and this time it participated in the Zhuhai Air Show.

In terms of fighter jets, the J-10 and J-11 fighter jets are still the leaders. The J-7, J-8, J-H-7 and other fighter jets all appeared at the air show. More than 30 fighter jets made people want to take a good look.

Even China has exhibited the latest J-7M and J-8M, which has attracted the attention of many countries. This means that the J-7M and J-8M are likely to be exported.

Although the first batch of the US F22 'Raptor' fighter jets is about to be delivered, and the world's fighter jets have entered the era of the fourth generation of fighter jets, the main fighter jets of the world's major military countries are still the third generation fighter jets, and at most there are the third and a half generation fighter jets that have appeared in Europe and the United States in recent years.

Including Russia and European countries, there are still a large number of second-generation fighter jets and second-generation and a half fighter jets in service.

In the world, there are even many countries whose air forces are mainly composed of first-generation and second-generation fighter jets, and the most advanced fighter jets are second-generation and a half fighter jets!

For normal countries, European and American fighter jets are too expensive, and come with a lot of political and economic conditions; Russian fighter jets are cheaper, but they also come with a lot of political and economic conditions, and the payment method is single. China has a high cost-effectiveness, no political and economic conditions, and can even actively provide advice on the plan.

As long as you really want, there is always a way to cooperate.

Panshan Group's customers are almost all developed in this way, and then relying on super high cost-effectiveness and high-quality services, it has accumulated a good reputation and credibility and maintained a large customer base.

Also as second-generation aircraft, there are considerable differences in performance and prices between second-generation aircraft.

Also as second-generation and a half fighters, the performance differences are very large, and the prices will also vary greatly.

As for bombers, this time the H-6K/S participated in the exhibition. Many people have been guessing whether the H-6 has a more advanced improved version, or whether China's new generation of domestic bombers has been successfully developed or even put into service.

As for early warning aircraft, this time the KJ-200 and KJ-500 participated in the exhibition. These two early warning aircraft are particularly suitable for small and medium-sized countries.

It can be said that this Zhuhai Air Show has a lot of new things that make people's eyes shine.

For example, this Zhuhai Air Show has something that has never been seen before, that is, China's current Type 001 light aircraft carrier appeared at the Zhuhai Air Show, performing short takeoff and vertical takeoff and landing of the "Sea Eagle" carrier-based aircraft.

The Type 001 light aircraft carrier is also the aircraft carrier that Panshan Group is pushing for other countries, and it is also the most powerful aircraft carrier that most countries in the world can buy.

Although other countries will sell second-hand aircraft carriers, those second-hand aircraft carriers have long exceeded their service life. At most, they will be modernized, but no matter how they are transformed, they cannot compare with the Type 001 light aircraft carrier.

The Type 001 light aircraft carrier is definitely a star among stars in the field of Chinese warship exports. Even if they are willing to spend money, Panshan Group can build an aircraft carrier fleet for it.

In this regard, the rich Saudi Arabia is the best signboard. (End of this chapter)
