Super military empire

In the new assembly workshop of the 132 factory, the appearance of an F-14 that was as smooth and beautiful as the old one has long disappeared. The tail engine part has been disassembled, and many of the fuselage skins have been disassembled. There is no The majesty when soaring into the sky.

The successful development of the turbofan-8, Liu Yijiu and others did not report it to the Military Commission, but prepared to test it before reporting it.

The turbofan engine of the Republic, in addition to the turbofan-6 improved from the bass engine, the turbofan-8 is the true first high-thrust military turbofan engine.

"It depends on the engine if this aircraft can fly. Liu, I am very worried about China's engine manufacturing technology..." After understanding the parameters of the engine, Simon Love said very much to Liu Yijiu. Anxiously said, "The first few units all had problems after flying in the air for dozens of hours and had to be returned to the factory for overhaul. However, I cannot interfere with the engine, and I am not an expert..."

When the Su-27 was flying for a test flight, it was because the engine could not keep up, so I had to choose an engine with a lower performance.

The Soviet Union has a huge industrial base, and this kind of thing happened. With China's backward industrial base and the engines developed, there were many problems at the beginning, and it was impossible for these fighters to fly into the sky. And make various actions.

"Mr. Simon, the Soviet Union does have a good industrial foundation, but during the test flight, didn’t the Su-27 also dropped several? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. Although China’s manufacturing capacity is poor, so far No matter it’s an aerial platform testing a turbofan-8 engine or a giant panda flying with an f-14 engine..." The conflict between Zhu Houdao and Simon Love is not small. I heard Simon Love’s words. , Immediately fought back dissatisfied.

It is an indisputable fact that the Soviet industrial foundation is good.

However, it has not been smooth sailing in terms of fighter development.

Technology development and accumulation require time and money to support it.

Western countries have money and they develop airplanes. When pilots are sure that they may threaten their lives, they can directly throw away the airplane and parachute to ensure their safety.But the Soviet Union can't. People can die and airplanes can't fall.

This is actually the case in the Republic.

When Liu Yijiu saw that the two were about to argue, he immediately stopped the kindness.

He also knew that the two must have disputes over the Giant Panda Project.

The first task now is to let the sky of the Republic have the third-generation fighters manufactured by the Republic itself.

"Simon, our industrial base really cannot be compared with the Soviet Union, our aviation industry is even worse, but this engine, without a choice, we can only carry out continuous test flights and continuous improvement. In terms of cost, Consider..." Liu Yijiu did not emphasize how advanced the performance of the new turbofan-8 is.

For some people who already have preconceived notions, only when they see the final result and the facts are in front of their eyes will they believe that China is capable of meeting the needs of top fighters in the cutting-edge manufacturing field.

"Anyway, you have to install it for a test flight before you know if it can be used! Other than that, even in the Soviet Union, a new engine cannot be tested in the air, and it is directly assembled on the fighter plane. Let the fighter plane fly, right?"

Liu Yijiu's words left Simon Love speechless.

The turbofan-8 engine, with all the kind efforts, began to install the f-14 that was disassembled. I don’t know how many times or when it will disintegrate in the air. As long as the test flight proves that there is no problem with the engine, then , It proves that the imitation work is about to end.

Liu Yijiu agreed to provide Iran with a full set of spare parts for the F-14.

So, after the engine came out, Samnila went to China in person, waiting to see the Chinese imitation engine.

In order to reassure them about the Chinese aviation engine, Liu Yijiu could only falsely claim that the turbofan-8 is an imitation of the American f-14 engine.

The whole world knows the heart disease problem of China's aviation industry.

The Iranians know that the engine technology of the Chinese Dragon Guard tank originated from the United States and was later even obtained from China. The fighter jets, the J-7 and J-8II, are far worse than the F-14 engine. Up.Although, Iranians cannot produce imitations.

Liu Yijiu naturally knew about Samnila's concerns.

Of the 80 F-14s that Iran purchased from the United States, so far, only less than 60 can take off.

The United States did not train Iranian aircraft maintenance personnel in place. Simple technical failures can be handled by Iranian technicians, but complicated ones will not work.

Especially related to the technical failure of the engine.

Now Iran’s F-14s have basically been deployed around Tehran, mainly for air defense.

Although the Iran-Iraq war was not as violent as before, it has now entered a stalemate again.

Iraq has purchased a lot of things from China and is gathering strength to retake the Faao Peninsula in the southern theater.

However, the purchase of Zhi-91, the 336 rocket launcher is equivalent to the bulk of the value, Iraq has not negotiated with China, and Iran should have obtained a large number of modified 336 rocket launchers from Saudi Arabia, and it should also not use Hongqi-2 air defense less. The 8208 missile modified from the missile.

The two sides have not yet begun a missile strike war. The negotiations and the war are intermittent. They talk for a while, fight a battle, and then talk for a while...

"Director Liu, are there really no problems with these engines? Or, you choose a group of excellent technicians to come to our country to analyze the tf30-p-412 afterburner turbofan engine in more depth, especially the first-line technicians. ......" Samnila was waiting for the assembly process, and proposed to Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu's mouth bent upward when he heard what he said.

"General, if your country wants our technicians to help you research and maintain the f-14 engine, you can just say it. China and Iran have a deep friendship, especially since we have developed good cooperation over the years..."

While you can make money, you are still studying American power technology. Why not?

"How about fighter maintenance?"

"It's not a problem. We can talk about this, but it may take some time and a lot of cost..."

"That's okay. At the beginning, you promised to provide all spare parts within three years and imitation fighters within five years..." Samnila was very lamented towards Liu Yijiu, "Although we have The advanced three-generation fighters have unparalleled performance advantages for various Iraqi fighters, but they have too many fighters..."

Iraq now has the dual support of the Soviet Union and the United States, and its fighters can easily be replenished.

Samnila did not tell Liu Yijiu that what they are anxious about now is that in order to sell weapons to them, Soviet weapon salesmen have sold hundreds of newly developed MiG-29s to Iraq. At the same time, Iraq is talking with the United States. For contact, f-15 must be purchased.

"Sir, rest assured. As long as there is no problem with the current test flight, we can provide the engine in a comprehensive manner. Moreover, the test flight of the imitation model has been continuously and effectively carried out..." Liu Yijiu understood that it must be caught before this. Live the opportunity to sell more weapons and equipment to Iran and Iraq.

The Americans and the Soviets are beginning to play in these two countries.

If it hadn't been for China to hook up with Iran from the very beginning, and want to sell weapons, it would only be able to sell **** tanks and the J-7 and other worthless things.

"Now our imitation work test flight and engine test are carried out almost at the same time. It will be put into mass production soon!" Liu Yijiu told Samnila that the other party was not relieved because of his words.

During this period, people from Iraq also came.

For Chinese fighters, the Iraqi side does not care too much. After all, as long as their President Saddam is willing, they can get the most advanced fighters from the Soviet Union and the United States. 12 MiG-29 fighters have already served in the Iraqi Air Force. , The American F-15 is currently in negotiations.

China’s airplanes are not equipped with a few of them. Whether it is the J-7 or J-8ii, the performance is too poor.

"Advanced fighter? Mr. Liu, you are not mistaken? Have Chinese fighters solved the heart disease problem?" For Liu Yijiu to sell fighters to them, he originally came to purchase missiles such as Dongfeng-3 and weapons such as Yunbang bombs. Kanram, like hearing a big joke.

Liu Yijiu did not feel surprised at Canram's ridicule.

There was no too much reaction.

"General Canram, you are absolutely not mistaken, and I am not wrong. Of course, here, it is meaningless to say. If you want, we can take you to see the fighter we are going to sell to you... …" Liu Yijiu said calmly.

Kanram is also very curious about what kind of fighters China can provide.

They have seen a lot of Soviet and American fighter planes. The Chinese fighter planes are really terrible.

Liu Yijiu arranged the Iranians into the base, and then led the Iraqis into Factory 132. When Kanram saw two huge twin-engine heavy fighter planes in the production workshop that were identically skinned, his eyes were sharp. All fell down.

f-14!

"You got the technical information of the f-14 from the Americans?" Canram exclaimed immediately!
