Super military empire

Arranged for the 611 Institute to cooperate with Zhao Bingyi’s team to improve the performance of Tu-22m1 as soon as possible. The first phase of the project is mainly to replace the internal electronic system, the second phase will start to change the power system, and the third step is after the aerodynamic layout. , Liu Yijiu took Xia Fei and others towards Daba Mountain.

"I think you should cooperate with Qin Fei in this regard. Although you are more familiar with Tu-22 research than Qin Fei, they have studied bombers and large aircraft for decades." On the way to Daba Mountain, Long Yaohua proposed to Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu nodded, but he told Long Yaohua that they would not take the initiative to find Qin Fei for cooperation.

If Qin Fei wants to make greater technological progress, it shouldn't be the Ninth Institute to find them, but they should look to the Ninth Institute.

"This is indeed the case. They should find you and join in the cooperation. This is a very good thing for their accumulation of experience!" Xia Fei also feels deeply satisfied with Liu Yijiu's statement.

"The candidate for the blue army commander has been determined and will take office in half a month. In this regard, you may have to be prepared, especially with regard to the development of the blue army. When the commander takes office, you need to do more. Communication, otherwise the Blues will not achieve the effect we want." Long Yaohua suddenly said to Liu Yijiu.

The Zhi-91 armed transport helicopter now undertakes many high-level transportation tasks from Chengdu to Dabashan base. The military leaders are very satisfied with this helicopter which is much faster than other domestic models and has more advanced performance.

The only complaint is that this type of helicopter is too expensive, and the army and aviation units simply cannot afford it.

Moreover, the Republic has so far no plans to establish an attack helicopter organization.

In the Blue Army plan, this helicopter will be equipped with a regiment!

This is a huge expenditure, and the funding has to be provided by the Ninth Institute. Of course, the Z-91 is not delivered to the entire regiment 36 in one year, but 12 in two years, and the rest will wait until later. Replenish gradually.

The purpose of Liu Yijiu’s proposal is to equip the helicopter regiment with special armed helicopters and transport helicopters in the later period, rather than the large number of armed transport helicopters.

"Who is it?" Liu Yijiu immediately became energetic when he heard this. He always wanted to know who the head of the Blues was.

But for such a long time, there has been no news, he didn't know at all, and asked Long Yaohua and others, but no one told him.

As always, Long Yaohua shook his head, "You will know when the time comes. Anyway, you have to believe that the Blue Army leader will definitely communicate with you when he takes office. After all, this is an important experiment in the modernization and reform of our military. The combat unit with the most top-level military equipment in our army, the specific location and others, will consult with you..."

Faced with another rejection, Liu Yijiu still had nothing to do except the corners of his mouth twitching.

He didn't bother to ask about these things, different people, different solutions.

"By the way, you didn't mean that you are researching new military vehicles. How much time has passed since this, why hasn't it appeared?" Long Yaohua distracted Liu Yijiu's attention and once again suffered a wound in Liu Yijiu's heart. Sprinkle a handful of salt on it.

Liu Yijiu really didn't want to mention the car.

"It should be soon, you know, our main technical force is all in military equipment, especially weapon systems. Whether it is armored vehicles or tanks on the tank side, we are always short of people, and there are still 541. By the way, I have always been buying civilian cars, mainly light trucks and buses..." Liu Yijiu said helplessly."When the matter at hand is almost handled, mobilize a group of people to do their best to develop..."

The technical integration of military vehicles is far worse than tanks and aircraft and battleships, but it also requires a lot of industrial foundation.

This is a problem faced by all industries in the Republic.

There is no way Liu Yijiu can quickly make a military vehicle with superior performance. Even if he can draw a design drawing, he can’t come up with a complete design plan, because the engine, mass production, etc. all require technology. Tackling key problems.

In choosing development projects, Liu Yijiu has always followed the principle of giving priority to weapons and equipment.

They are a military-industrial unit and the Ninth Research Institute of the People's Liberation Army.

During the chat, time passed very fast. When Liu Yijiu and others arrived at Daba Mountain, it only took more than an hour, and it was not time for dinner.

"Xiao Liu, we are in trouble now. Even if these missiles can be replicated, it is difficult for us to test their performance..." Liu Yijiu just gathered the technical team responsible for missile research, and Du Zhongkun told Liu helplessly. Nineteen, now the whole team is experiencing problems.

Can the missile be manufactured to detect performance?

It's just kidding!

"We currently only have one target drone in China, and that is the Changkong-1 that we copied from the Soviet Union Ra-17 unmanned drone in the 1960s. This drone is no problem for other domestic missiles and air defense forces to conduct exercises. But for our medium-range active radar-guided missiles with a speed of Mach 3 and short-range air-to-air missiles with a faster firing rate, the performance is too backward..." Du Zhongkun directly posed the problem.

Liu Yijiu's brows wrinkled, Long Yaohua and Xia Fei's brows also wrinkled.

It seems that the drone is indeed behind.

The current fighters are getting faster and faster, and their performance is getting better and better. If the performance of the missiles cannot be accurately tested, these missiles are also very threatening to the troops if they are equipped.

"Minister Xia, didn't the Air Force propose to equip a drone capable of high-speed horizontal and large maneuvering at a gradient of 70 to 77 degrees in 1983? Didn't this thing have been proposed long ago? Why is it still Only Changkong One?" Liu Yijiu asked Xia Fei through gritted teeth.

Faced with such a situation, he had already had the urge to curse.

What is this special?

I finally came up with the aircraft, but there was no matching missile. When I came up with the missile, there was no discovery. The technology was obtained from the Soviets, and the top aerospace experts of the Republic were gathered on the basis of the Soviets’ technology. The missile, it was discovered that the target aircraft used to test the performance of the missile was gone...

"Don't mention this. It was too difficult for us to do it ourselves. Whether it was the power system or the control system, it was a problem. So someone proposed to import 10 firebee drones with large maneuverability from the United States... American appetite It’s too big. A quotation is 5 million yuan. At the end of the negotiation, the total value is not less than 40 million yuan...

Xia Fei said it was anger.

How much is a domestically produced J-7?The Americans were so embarrassed that the lion opened their mouths. A drone would cost 5 million yuan, which is equivalent to 1 million dollars!

This thing is basically for consumption, and it is also a one-time consumable.

"No, you have been engaged in surface-to-air missiles for so many years, how can you not understand the situation of the drone? And your missile performance seems to be better than domestic..." Xia Fei thought of it in an instant. Know this situation.

How did the Ninth Academy originally test missile performance?

"It turns out that our missiles, after successful research, were not tested at all. They were directly brought to the battlefield and used enemy fighters to test the performance of our missiles... During the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack, the Vietnamese fighters were our targets; On the Iran-Iraq battlefield, the various types of fighter planes equipped by Iraq are also the targets of our Houyi air-defense missiles... Now, the air-to-air missiles we develop must use target drones. When used on the battlefield again, it is obviously not suitable The secrecy system, at the same time, may not be able to find the right opportunity..." When Du Zhongkun said this, he revealed deep helplessness.

Hearing him said that the surface-to-air missile performance test of the Ninth Academy was actually tested directly in actual combat. Whether it is the many big players in the aerospace industry or Xia Fei, they are all dumbfounded.

No wonder the research and development cost of weapons and equipment of the Ninth Academy is far lower than other domestic units, and the speed is also much faster!

"They are not just that. The ultimate users of those missiles are bought for money... Whether it is missiles or other weapons and equipment, the Ninth Academy exports basically to test actual combat performance!" Wang Shunyi also emphasized .

Liu Yijiu wanted to operate independently at the beginning, and then boldly exported the most advanced domestic weapons and equipment to the warring countries. This allowed the Ninth Institute not only to obtain much-needed development funds, but also to bring the country's scarce foreign exchange reserves.

More importantly, through these transactions, the Ninth Academy can obtain actual combat detection data that cannot be obtained using a drone.

The most uncontrollable factor of war is that it is full of countless uncertainties.

"Now, whether we are getting air-to-air missiles or medium-range active radar guided missiles, we have to detect the flight process of the missiles in all directions and obtain all the performance! At the same time, we have to keep secrets and test our two weapons. On the battlefield, the Iran-Iraq battlefield is obviously not conducive to secrecy, and it will take a long time to have a chance. At present, there are only 5 Zhi-91s in Nipudo Sang, and there are no too advanced fighters in Vietnam. ..." Wang Shunyi did not care about anything else, and directly told Liu Yijiu and the Secretary of the Air Force, "We need unmanned drones, we need more advanced drones! The performance of Changkong-1 cannot meet our test requirements! "

"China Southern Airlines University originally proposed a design plan to improve the Changkong-1, but now I don't know how the situation is..." Xia Fei said embarrassedly.

If it is not possible to provide a target aircraft for testing more advanced missiles, the plan to equip the F-14 with the Air Force will be delayed again.
