What kind of plane is bombing Kokang?Decipher the story behind the "Condor".

Seeing that the Kokang allies had succumbed and the country had changed hands, Min Aung Hlaing was furious and ordered artillery fire to cover Lao Cai, and also sent fighter jets, FTC-2000G, nicknamed "Condor", which sounds so arrogant that it makes people adrenaline rush. What the hell is this plane?Why would you bombard Kokang with it?

Don't worry, let's go back to the specific example, talk about how the Lao Cai Burmese army ran to bombard the Kokang Allied Army, and also sent this "Divine Eagle" to deter. FTC-2000G is a domestic advanced training aircraft, once in my junior high school days, it was the era when domestic fighters had not developed much, compared with the West, the puppet army on the other side, our fleet is indeed a bit cold.

At that time, the Thunder Dragon fighter had just begun to show its edge, but there was always a small voice in my heart asking: Is this thing reliable?On August 25 of that year, the Thunder Dragon made its first flight, as if giving us a glimmer of hope, so that we could finally look at the back of the west. And the Jianjiao-9, although it is not as good as the "Falcon", still has some strength in training pilots. It's like when I graduated from junior high school, I felt like I was finally getting a little bit out of it.

However, the question is, how did the FTC-2000G aircraft become a "Condor"?It turns out that this guy is an improved version of the Jianjiao-9, which can not only train pilots, but also take into account ground attack and have some air combat functions. At the beginning, it flew to Cambodia, Sudan, and Burma, and was simply the favorite of the air forces of small and medium-sized countries.

But with the development of the times, problems have also arisen. UAVs have turned out to be more obvious for small and medium-sized countries. Drones are easy to use, can react quickly regardless of the weather, and can find and destroy targets in an instant. In this way, even if the Burmese army has more "Divine Eagles", it will become a little powerless in the face of the drones of the Kokang Alliance.

Some netizens commented that this "Condor" is like an outdated star, who used to be infinitely beautiful, but now that the newcomer is rising, it seems a little powerless. And the drone of the Kokang Alliance is like a new idol, more eye-catching in all aspects, and there are more fans. With such a comparison, who will still miss the old fighters?

However, let's look at this issue from China's perspective. Although FTC-2000G faces the impact of drones, in fact, it has always been the highlight of the medium-sized industry. This fighter was developed on the basis of the Jianjiao-9, which not only inherits the excellent tradition of its predecessors, but also has more advanced performance. As a domestic aircraft, it can successfully enter the international market and export to many countries, which is really a big victory for our first worker.

In general, although the "Condor" is a little helpless under the impact of UAVs, from the national level, this represents the strength of the first industry. We may need more advanced technology and more suitable for the trend of the times, but this does not mean that we cannot respect the old fighters. After all, the "Condor" is still the outdated veteran soldier who once stood out on the international stage, and this history cannot be underestimated.

The times change and the development of the military industry is like the impermanence of the world. Whether or not the Condor can fly in the blue sky again, the imprint it has left is deep enough. Perhaps, future wars will rely more on advanced technology, but the glory of those old fighters is also an eternal memory in the hearts of our military fans.
