Chapter 198: White Elephant Country: Glorious Fighter Launched!!!Chapter 198: White Elephant Country: Glorious Fighter Launched!!!
When Pakistan’s Shabtai Warren and representatives of the Yan State military arrived in Linjiang Province, a grand press conference for the debut of the Dragon Shadow fighter was held.

This eye-catching moment will reveal an important news to the world: Yan State and Pakistan have worked together to design, develop and manufacture a brand-new third-generation fighter - the Dragon Shadow Fighter (second and a half generation).

When the news was announced, reporters at the scene couldn’t help but exclaim.

They never expected that this press conference would bring such shocking news.

This news will undoubtedly become a hot topic in the global military and aviation fields.

”The jointly developed third-generation fighter, the Dragon Shadow fighter, has been a success!”

Those who attended the press conference for the Dragon Shadow fighter jet included Lin Chenran, Shabtai Warren from Pakistan, Wei Lao from Yan Country and several senior military leaders.

In the center of the venue, there is a Dragon Shadow fighter model made in a 1:10 scale, which vividly displays the appearance and details of this new fighter.

Immediately afterwards, the 077 Mechanical Arsenal and Pakistan signed a contract on the spot (this contract was just a formality, just like the contract signed between a football club and its players in front of reporters).

The Yan State military and the 077 Machinery Military Factory jointly signed a procurement contract of great significance.

This move officially confirmed Yan State’s intention to purchase the Dragon Shadow fighter jets.

The amounts involved in this contract are staggering.

The first batch will be one hundred Dragon Shadow fighter jets.

Of course, whether so many Dragon Shadow fighter jets are really purchased is yet to be determined.

unknown!

Only the Yan State military and the 077 Mechanical Military Factory know about it.

This move sends a clear message to the outside world that Yan State will soon have its own third-generation fighter jet - the Dragon Shadow fighter jet.

When the contract was signed, thunderous applause broke out immediately and a warm atmosphere filled the entire reception.

Next, it was the turn of the chief designer of the Longying fighter, Meng Chunping, to introduce this eye-catching fighter to the guests on site in detail.

He proudly introduced to the audience: ”The Dragon Shadow fighter has excellent performance. It is not only multi-purpose, but also able to adapt to various climatic conditions. It is an all-weather third-generation fighter.”

……

After Meng Chunping’s detailed introduction, the audience on site had a clearer and deeper understanding of the Longying fighter.

Whether they were reporters from the official media of Yan or Pakistan, their eyes sparkled with excitement after listening to the introduction.

Especially the journalists from Pakistan, their excitement was simply hard to contain.

The corners of his mouth were raised higher than the muzzle of an AK rifle, as if they were about to break through the sky.

There was excitement in their eyes and their hearts were filled with anticipation and hope for the future.

Pakistan has powerful third-generation fighter jets and will no longer be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the White Elephant Country.

Let the other party know that you are not a ”soft persimmon” and not a country that he can bully at will.

After Pakistan is equipped with Dragon Shadow fighter jets, it will be able to seize some air supremacy from the White Elephant Kingdom.

This is good for regional stability!

……

Next came the highlight of the mechanical reception where the Dragon Shadow fighter jet made its debut.

That is to ask questions to the leaders on the stage.

Some reporters couldn’t wait to start asking questions.

”Mr. Wei, it was revealed not long ago that the design of the J-10 fighter jet has been completed. The 7 third-generation fighter jets led by the Yan country’s military have already achieved results. Why do we need to purchase another third-generation fighter jet?” asked a reporter from the Yan country’s official media.

Mr. Wei smiled and replied: ”The J-10 fighter and the Longying fighter are two third-generation fighters with different uses. They can be used together and there is no conflict between the two.”

”This is the same as Russia’s Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters, and the Eagles’ F-15 and F-16.”

After Mr. Wei’s explanation, everyone at the scene suddenly understood.

That’s it!

There is indeed no conflict between the J-10 fighter and the Longying fighter.

”Excuse me, Mr. Lin, how long did it take your company to design and develop the Dragon Shadow fighter?”

Another reporter raised his hand to ask.

Lin Chenran did not tell the truth, mainly because the speed of developing the Dragon Shadow fighter was too fast.

”It took our Laiyang Military Factory (our external title) one and a half years, mainly because of the strong support from Pakistan, otherwise the research and development progress would not be so fast.”

By the way, I would like to praise our Pakistani brothers!
After hearing Lin Chenran’s praise, Shabtai Warren’s mouth corners slightly raised.

It’s you indeed! Lin Chenran!
I love to hear that!
Although Shabtai Warren knew that the Dragon Shadow fighter had always been dominated by the 077 Mechanical Military Factory, Pakistan only provided a research and development fund.

Lin Chenran’s high emotional intelligence response made Sabote Warren very happy.

Shabtai Warren winked at the Pakistani reporters at the scene, as if to say, ”Put this down for me. Pakistan contributed to the development of the Dragon Shadow fighter. Even the other side has acknowledged it.”

”If this statement is not reported, then you can resign directly.”

The Pakistani reporter felt Shabtai Warren’s gaze and expression, and quickly wrote it down in his notebook.

Saboteur Warren showed a look of satisfaction, as if he was a teachable boy.
……

The Dragon Shadow fighter jet’s appearance at the conference was very successful.

It instantly attracted the attention of many countries.

Especially the Eagle Sauce, the Russian Bear, the Chicken Country, and the White Elephant Country.

Eagle sauce: What? In addition to the J-10 fighter jet that Yan country is currently researching and developing, it has also completed the design and development of a Longying fighter jet and is ready to start small-scale production and test flight?

What do you think you are doing? How come you didn’t notice that Yan Country is developing two third-generation fighter jets?

The top leaders of the United States were shocked and quickly arranged a task to find out the data of the Dragon Shadow fighter and the strength of the J-10 fighter.

The top leaders of the United States think that the J-10 fighter jet may be a smoke screen, and the Dragon Shadow fighter jet is the third-generation fighter jet that the Yan country’s military will be equipped with in the future.

Mao Xiong: I didn’t expect that Yan Country would copy our high-low combination and also develop two third-generation fighter jets to use this solution.

The two third-generation fighter jets of the Yan State military, the Hunting Suits, pose a great threat to us.

Jiaopanji Country: Huh? Two third-generation fighters? Does Yan Country have such strength? They haven’t even figured out the second and a half generation fighters, and they’re still working on the third generation fighters? Who gives you the courage!

White Elephant: Huh? Only a weak country would cooperate with Yan Country to develop a third-generation fighter. We, the White Elephant Country, will not jointly develop a third-generation fighter. We want to develop a third-generation fighter independently.

Tejas fighter project! Started!!!

All countries are paying close attention to the cooperation between Yan and Pakistan in developing a new third-generation fighter jet.

At the same time, the ”big tycoons” in Saudi Arabia, far away in the Camel region, also became restless after seeing the news!
