Super military empire

One MiG-25 was dismantled so that only parts were left, and the remaining one was parked in the hangar. This thing was the nightmare of the Iranian Air Force. It was not until the f-14 panda provided by the United States was available. It's getting better.

Iranians are very familiar with this kind of fighter.

Moreover, even with the Panda F-14, this kind of aircraft makes the Iranian Air Force feel infinite pressure.The MiG-25 flies higher and faster than the panda f14, and even the mobility is not as bad as the outside legend.

More importantly, the price of MiG-25 is much lower than that of F-14.

Compared with the Soviet aircraft using stainless steel, the US aircraft that uses a large amount of titanium alloy has no advantage in cost performance.

The only difference is that the mobility of the f14 is better. At the same time, the US avionics system is not comparable to the Soviets, who are backward in the electronics industry.

"Director Liu, what are you guys?" Canon really didn't expect it.

Liu Yijiu naturally understood what Canon meant."There are all the top fighter production and design personnel in our country. They work together to study the technology of the Soviets in high-altitude and high-speed fighters. Then, these technologies are used to improve the performance of our country's fighters. MiG-25 The maximum range is more than 3,000 kilometers, while the maximum range of f14 is only 2,500 kilometers. And the speed, I believe you know better than us..."

The MiG-25 in it, even Americans are jealous.

One such aircraft they obtained was nothing but a defector that flew from the Soviet Far East to Japan. In the end, the MiG-25 engine in their hands was scrapped because the fighter pilots flew for too long at high speed.

Americans have incomplete data on this fighter.

"The Soviets’ avionics system is known to all people all over the world. We learn from the Soviet’s aerodynamic layout, especially this kind of aircraft that can reach Mach 2.83 and fly to an altitude of 24,000 meters. If you add Going to the American avionics system..." Liu Yijiu painted the prospects.

It was his idea, and he was going to do it.

He is unwilling to allow Americans to gain too much from this, because Americans have a good foundation. Once a technology breaks through, the entire aviation industry will improve.

The United States is the enemy China must face in the future.

The Soviet MiG-25, all made of stainless steel, not only reduced production costs, but also greatly improved the performance of the entire fighter.Compared to the American Panda, which has to use titanium alloy, it is much better, especially for the Chinese.

"At present, the 611 Research Institute under our Ninth Academy is designing a dual-triple performance fighter, which can fly at a maximum speed of more than Mach 3 and can fly up to 30,000 meters. What is missing is the American avionics system. Before, we talked to the Americans. This is not impossible. The only difference is that the price we need to pay is too great. If we cooperate, after thorough research, we can not only provide you with better fighters, We can also provide you with related spare parts for the gap. You don’t pay much, and the gains are greater, and we will also reduce the research and development costs of new fighters, so providing you with them will also allow you to reduce costs... "

Liu Yijiu continued to introduce without waiting for the other person to speak.

Seeing the two people leaking expressions of disbelief, they immediately called Zhu Hudao over."This is the director of our 611 Aircraft Design Institute, comrades, our high-altitude and high-speed fighter project has been started in 1974. After obtaining the MiG-25, the speed of progress has been even greater, and production verification has already begun. machine……"

"Director Liu is right. In the new fighter, we have adopted a new aerodynamic layout, and at the same time, we have adopted more advanced materials than the American f14. It is not a problem to achieve double triple performance... Poor, the research time is too short, and there is no experience in the avionics system to learn from. At present, negotiations with the United States on the introduction of f14 fighter jets and related production technologies are underway..." When Zhu Dao was on the side, he was listening Follow the introduction here.

He knew that Liu Yijiu wanted to get f14 from Iranians, and the cost would be lower than that of getting f14 from Americans.

For the f14, which is more maneuverable and is also a heavy fighter with advanced avionics systems, Chinese fighter designers have long been greedy.

Not just a research unit of 611.

"If we provide you with the relevant parts and components within three years as you said, and the complete machine in five years? You know, you China has introduced British bass engines a long time ago. Now, you have achieved Is it localized?" Samnila's words made Liu Yijiu speechless.

Even the kindness has become very embarrassing.

No one wants to face this kind of thing.

It's not that the unit that got the bass engine doesn't have the technical ability, but the leadership's mind is not on it.

The J-8 fighter was prepared to be equipped with a domestically-made bass engine from the beginning. As a result, national money was spent, but the localization of the engine did not succeed.

Soon, Liu Yijiu cleared up his mood, took a deep breath, and said to the two of them: "The complete localization of the bass engine has indeed not been achieved. After all, our materials and various basic supporting facilities are not perfect. And our turbofan six , We have borrowed a lot of bass engine technology, and it has been successful up to now. But for our new generation fighter, the performance of this engine is obviously not good. Therefore, in the case of perfecting the basic supporting facilities, we are studying the new generation of engines ..."

"What are the performance parameters of your J-8i fighter?" Samnila was noncommittal about what Liu Yijiu said.

But Canon had stayed in Daba Mountain. Knowing what Liu Yijiu said was not a lie, he was also happy to see the Minister directly ask about the performance parameters of the J-8 fighter.

The deeper the cooperation with China, the better.

The cooperation between China and the United States is now becoming more extensive, and it is also willing to sell weapons and equipment to Iran, which avoids Iran’s lack of equipment sources in the war.

Although Europe is still selling weapons and equipment to Iran, the equipment sold is backward and expensive.

If possible, Canon doesn't mind that all Iranian troops are equipped with Chinese-made weapons and equipment.

Liu Yijiu knew about the performance parameters of the J-8, but he couldn't say it. Instead, he called a designer from Shen Fei.He does not have too much contact with designers and leaders from other units.

"This is Comrade Zhao Yutong from Shen Fei. He has participated in the entire design of Jianba and is currently responsible for Shen Fei's work on this side." Zhu Houdao faced him with black-rimmed glasses, a face with Chinese characters, and a beard. Said the big middle-aged man with mobile phone oil.

Said to be middle-aged, in fact, he is almost fifty years old.

"Gong Zhao, this is our foreign customer. He is very interested in the J-8 fighters developed by your factory. You can tell them about the performance..." Liu Yijiu greeted the old man with a smile on his face. , And then leaned into his ear and whispered, "Iranians, we plan to exchange F14 Panda fighters from them..."

"Really? At that time..." Zhao Yutong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard f14.

"Like this MiG-25, as long as interested units can participate in the research, at the same time everyone can discuss with each other." Liu Yijiu said with a smile.

It is simply impossible for them to assume all of China's military industry.

After all, from the beginning, he had a clear positioning of the Ninth Academy. The weapons and equipment of these units would involve the three branches of the army, land, and air, but at the same time, they were only the top-notch.

The most top, obviously, the price will be the most expensive.

This is unbearable for the entire Chinese military.China is not as rich as the United States.Even the wealthy United States cannot be equipped with all the top fighters.

Weapons and equipment, high and low matching, this is the idea he has been instilling in the military leaders.

Therefore, from the beginning, other units hoped to participate in the MiG-25 research, but Liu Yijiu did not refuse.

Anyway, they did not intend to imitate this kind of high-altitude high-speed fighter with a poor avionics system.

"After more than ten years of hard work, we have successfully developed the J-8ii, with a maximum take-off weight of 17,800 kg, a maximum level flight speed of Mach 2.2, a practical ceiling of 20,000 meters, a range of 800 kilometers, and an increase of 7 aircraft pylons. It can be equipped with anti-aircraft missiles and auxiliary fuel tanks, which are mainly used for all-weather air defense operations..." Zhao Yutong began to introduce Shen Fei's latest research results.

"Is the improved version coming out?" Liu Yijiu was surprised, but did not ask.

According to his understanding, this improved version will not fly until 1984, and the design will be finalized in 1988.

"What about the radar?" Samnila raised a question that Chinese aviation staff are unwilling to face.

Seeing Zhao Yutong's silence, Liu Yijiu said with a smile, "Pulse Doppler radar, full waveform, capable of looking down/down shooting!"

Liu Yijiu's words immediately made Zhao Yutong look surprised, and stared at him suspiciously.

China is still in a blank in this regard. Even the 1471 radar is not a full-waveform radar, but only has a medium/low pulse repetition rate. The technical difficulty also daunts Comrade Ben De.As the backup of the 1471 radar, Changhong Factory also began to develop the 208 radar with interception capability based on the 204.Even if it is just a monopulse fire control radar, it does not have the ability to look down/fire, but the development work is still not smooth, which can be said to be difficult.

Liu Yijiu is here to boast about going to Haikou and being able to fool the Iranians for a while, in front of Zhengzhen experts, all this is useless.

"Isn't China still blank in this respect? Director Liu, you can't make this joke." Samnila immediately said coldly.

He also did the work for the Chinese intelligence.

From the very beginning, Canon contacted China, and he was collecting a lot of information about China's military equipment and technology.

The technology of the Chinese is far worse than that of the entire United States, the Soviet Union and Europe.

After all, the Chinese people's technology originated from the Soviet Union's technology in the 1950s. There were not many technological achievements in the domestic turmoil in the past decade.

"I'm not kidding. Even if they don't have one, we can still provide you with fighter jets equipped with pulse Doppler radar. At the same time, the performance of the J-8 fighter jet can be greatly improved." Liu Yijiu sighed in his heart.

Originally wanted to ignore Shen Fei and let them go on their own way.

However, being looked down upon by a country like Iran, which had to purchase all equipment from abroad, made him feel an unnamed anger in his heart.

"If this is the case, we can consider replacing the J-8 fighter with f14, and at the same time, we will place a batch of purchase orders. Director Liu, our purchases in China have always been through you..." Samnila was very serious. Said Liu Yijiu.

And it was said in front of other people.

After saying this, a hint of frivolousness appeared on his face, "I don't know when Director Liu will be able to deliver to us? As long as an agreement is reached, within one month, we will be able to arrange for a fighter plane to fly to China through Pakistan!"

Liu Yijiu did not know the specific situation of Jianba.

He doesn't even know whether the J-8ii has flown for the first time. If it does, he can say anything.

If he didn't even fly for the first time, it would be useless even if he could provide radar.

Now it is not only related to interests, but to the reputation of the entire country.

The Chinese military industry must not lose face in the face of a country with huge procurement potential like Iran.

"One year. After all, we haven't mass production yet! If you are willing to accept our domestic active J-8, it will be delivered within one month too!" Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing Liu Yijiu's anger with the Iranians, Zhao Yutong immediately became a little anxious. This young man didn't know how difficult it was to study radar. He didn't even know how radar was researched. It would have to go through long experiments.

He immediately pulled Liu Yijiu aside, and said with a distressed expression to this young man who had heard countless times, but had met for the first time, and said, "Director Liu, there is no need to be angry with them. The J-8ii has just started its first flight. , Radar research work is very difficult, because of this, there is no finalization..."

Liu Yijiu was very pleased to see Zhao Yutong worrying about him.

I was afraid of encountering a white-eyed wolf.

It seems that the historical data is not wrong. The technical personnel of this era are pure technical personnel.

"Don't worry, Zhao Gong, as long as the first flight takes place, it will not be a problem. We started radar research in this area a few years ago and have made breakthrough progress. If necessary, we can produce a verification radar within one month. , Install it on your platform. The special circumstances of our unit prevent us from leaking these technologies..." Liu Yijiu could not tell Zhao Yutong that they still have a better active phased array radar in their hands.
