As a big country in NATO, Turkey has a unique geographical position and military advantage. It has always been considered a military power. However, when it comes to the procurement of S400 missiles, Turkey has broken up with the United States. After nearly half a year of confrontation, the United States The repeated warnings of the United States have failed to achieve the expected results. Recently, several Il-76 transports arrived in Turkey and unloaded the key components of the S400 air defense system, marking that this NATO country has officially introduced the S400 air defense missile system.
In order to embolden itself, Turkey recently sent invitations to many countries. Among them, many Xiaolong fighters will fly to the Middle East. It is understood that the Xiaolong appearing in the Middle East belongs to the Pakistan Air Force and is at the invitation of Turkey. Participated in the Turkish Anatolian Eagle military exercise.
In the Anatolian Eagle military exercises held this year, the most eye-catching was the appearance of the Xiaolong fighter plane, as a fighter plane with a great relationship with China , Xiaolong will exchange air combat tactics with the Turkish Air Force during the exercise, and at the same time, it can also help China understand the NATO Air Force's skills and tactics.
In order to get closer to actual combat, Turkey will dispatch various types of surface-to-air missiles in this exercise, allowing 60 fighters to conduct simulated exercises in an airspace of 120×216 nautical miles. The exercise items include joint combat training and confrontation. Defense of attack fighters and joint air strikes against strategic targets.
The exercise program includes joint combat training, defense against incoming fighters, and joint air strikes against strategic targets. Combining the above information, it can be seen that the air military exercise that Xiaolong participated in in Turkey is of great significance. It is not only a direct exchange between East and West fighters, but also creates favorable conditions for the foreign sales of Xiaolong fighters. After all, the promotion of a fighter is the most important. What is needed is to simulate actual combat verification.
Moreover, on July 11, relevant persons of the Egyptian Air Force disclosed that they would purchase 100 Xiaolong fighters and are even considering introducing the Xiaolong production line. The appearance of Dragon Fighter in Turkey is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Egypt to observe Xiaolong up close, allowing it to understand Xiaolong more comprehensively.
It is worth noting that the United States has excluded Turkey from the F35 production and sales plan. At this time Xiaolong appeared in Turkey, or a good opportunity to promote this type of fighter to Turkey.
On the one hand, the Turkish Air Force can intuitively conduct aerial exercises with this type of fighter. On the other hand, after losing the F35 fighter, Turkey needs to purchase fighters to fill the gap in its own air force. As an inexpensive fighter, Xiaolong has obvious advantages.
Although the Xiaolong fighter still has many shortcomings compared with the fifth-generation fighter such as the F35, this type of fighter can form a local advantage in a certain airspace. Even the F35 may not be able to defeat the Xiaolong.
