I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 1369 - The Era of Sixth-Generation Fighters

Chapter 1369: The Era of Sixth-Generation Fighters

While the exhibition continued, many media broadcasted the defense exhibition live, but because the defense exhibition did not gain a following outside of the military circle, it did not create a widespread sensation compared with Future Group’s product releases.

However, on the evening of the same day, Future Group uploaded a video of the exhibition and thus gave the news a headline through Future 1.0. In addition, a link to a video was attached. This move immediately attracted the attention of the world.

The clueless netizens once again experienced the superior technical capability of Future Military.

“My G.o.d, is this still war?”

“I originally planned to join the army, but now I have changed my mind and I am considering immigration.”

“I quite agree with the views put forward by President Jiang! Future wars will be the collision of steel, and the partic.i.p.ation of humans will only decrease!”

“Drone attack group! I have to say the technology of Future Group has truly amazed me. This is what I imagine future war to look like. Using steel instead of flesh and blood to resolve all disputes… Although this is probably just a wishful dream.”

“Drone plus kinetic skeleton is equal to an infantry squad? An attack group composed of a hundred drones can easily crush a company-level combat force? This is certainly impossible. My cousin is a senior military fan, let me a.n.a.lyze how Future Military is overplaying the drone’s strength…”

…

The video published on the official website of Future Group created a lot of heated discussions from around the world, but it didn’t interfere with the ongoing defense exhibition.

On the second day of the exhibition, Future Military reached a military sales agreement with Hua and Russia for 200 “Crocodile” amphibious a.s.sault vehicles at a unit price of 7 million Xin New Dollars. The South Colombia and Syrian government forces purchased four hundred and one thousand “Dart-1” tactical missiles respectively.

Future Military positioned Dart-1 as a short-range fast attack missile, similar to the Tomahawk missile, but with a range of only 1,000 kilometers. The advantage of Dart-1 was its small size, flexibility in deployment, and shocking power. It could also be deployed by the Scythe drone instead of infantry and achieve an accuracy as high as 0.1 meters while being difficult to detect.

Of course, there was one crucial point.

It was cheap.

The price of 400,000 Xin New Dollar was less than half of the Tomahawk missile. Even for the poor third world countries, they could still afford them. Compared to other fabled weapons, the cost-effective small missile was the better alternative.

Time soon reached the third day.

The third day of the defense exhibition was not held at the Heart of the Sea but at a temporary airport two kilometers away.

In order to ensure the normal progress of the defense exhibition, Celestial Trade sent a battalion of Marines to isolate the entire temporary airport. Representatives of different countries and high-level officials from major arms companies arrived one after another to kick off the third day of the exhibition.

It was a special session of the Air Force.

Matteo walked in front of the closed hangar, looked up at the large Leonardo group logo printed on the door, and laughed out loud.

“My dear Mr. Nicola, come and see our masterpiece.”

He gestured to the a.s.sistants next to him.

Two people quickly stepped forward and opened the door of the hangar.

The moment the hangar opened, a silver-white fighter with its wings and body built as one appeared in front of everyone.

Nicola’s eyes widened in disbelief. He finally understood where Mr. Matteo gained his confidence.

He once saw a picture of a fighter plane in a top-secret file, if he recalled correctly, its name should be “Uragano”.

Unlike the “Hawker Hurricane” that the British created in World War II, Uragano was given more meaning in Italian, and the ” Uragano” fighter designed by Leonardo was also given more historical significance.

After the Second Moro-Country F War ended, the result of the dog fight between F35 and Aurora-20 over City M stunned everyone. The unscientific loss exchange ratio made the UA doubt itself for the first time. Then, led by the UA, NATO countries introduced new research and development plans to find a fighter that can regain air supremacy from the Aurora-20.

Leonardo was one of the European military industry groups entrusted with this important task.

After repeatedly studying the F35 and Aurora-20 cases in the Second Moro-Country F War, they finally made a rather bold decision, that was, to devote all the research and development funds to the sixth-generation fighter and completely abandon the fifth-generation fighter market.

Only the sixth-generation fighter could counter the Aurora-20!

As a manned fighter jet, the qualities displayed by the Aurora-20 were the pinnacles of the fifth-generation fighter. Even if it was difficult to accept this reality, Matteo and the other senior officials of Leonardo clearly understood this.

The sixth-generation fighter usually referred to a hypersonic fighter controlled by artificial intelligence.

Compared to the fifth-generation fighter, the sixth-generation fighter possessed the flexibility of the sixth-generation aero engine and the design of full-wing fusion, so that the maneuverability and stealth of the aircraft at different alt.i.tudes and flight styles had been drastically balanced. In particular, the unmanned design enabled the sixth-generation fighter to complete maneuvers that would otherwise be impossible for manned fighters. This was due to the fact that there was a limit to the maximum acceleration a pilot could withstand, but this limit would not exist for the sixth-generation aircraft.

Fortunately, they managed to lead the world in the sixth-generation fighter market.

Any fighter would be eclipsed by the “Uragano” with a cruising speed of up to Mach 5. It was where Matteo’s confidence stemmed from.

“…but why are we showcasing it?” Nicola swallowed down the dry lump in his throat as he was somewhat bewildered, “Are you going to sell this to another country?”

“Of course not.” Matteo raised his eyebrows confidently and looked provocatively at Future Military’s hangar on the other side of the runway, where the gates were closed shut. “But if we don’t warn someone about their inappropriate arrogance, there is a good chance he will do something stupid.”

“But…”

When Nicola still wanted to say something but seemed hesitant, Matteo patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly, “Don’t worry, I won’t be able to bring this fighter over to the exhibition without NATO’s permission. In addition, this is a deterrent to Celestial Trade, but it is also an advertis.e.m.e.nt for our Panavia Tornado and Eurofighter Typhoon. As a businessman, in addition to fulfilling political obligations, making money is my utmost intention. I believe that after they see the excellent performance of our sixth-generation fighter, our Indian brothers over there and the rich lords of the Middle East would definitely pay for our fighters.”

Nicola always felt that the chairman of Leonardo was a bit too confident, but when he recalled the description of this sixth-generation machine in that doc.u.ment, he also no longer felt tense.

Matteo patted Nicola on the shoulder. The wrinkles in the corner of his eyes seemed to bloom as he looked at the “Uragano” in the hangar; his grin was full of joy.

“You can look forward to the many orders our ‘Uragano’ will bring us.”
