Super military empire

(Greatly added 16/20 for @driden)

(Subscriptions dropped again. It's pretty powerful. Is there something wrong with the plot? Or, Hulu should be theft prevention again?)

"These are indeed problems. Although UAVs do not need to take off and land repeatedly and have a longer service life like fighters, they also need to be able to make greater maneuvers and higher speeds..." Liu Yijiu Nodded.

In terms of drones, the performance of all countries is not advanced enough, especially the ability to stay in the air.

UAVs are only used as target drones and do some simple tasks. It is now difficult to use UAVs to perform various military tasks on a large scale as in the 21st century.

"Xiao Liu, we need to obtain more advanced drones as soon as possible to test our missiles, what should we do? Is it imported from abroad?" Xia Fei frowned and asked Liu Yijiu.

He knew that the progress of China Southern Airlines University could not be too great.

Otherwise, he would have known the news a long time ago.

Only with success can we get more funds.

"No! The price of the U.S. drone drone is too expensive!" Liu Yijiu shook his head firmly, "Don't say that the funds in our hands cannot withstand waste. Even if we can, we can't do that. We The target drones are not one or two. Anti-aircraft missiles need drones for testing, air-to-air missiles need drones for testing, and even the combat performance of fighters needs drones for testing. How much can we import?"

Liu Yijiu has never thought of importing from abroad. Even if the progress of the entire project is restricted, he will not agree to import from abroad.

Just like a saying circulated by former national defense science and technology workers, if conditions are met, it is also possible to create conditions without conditions.

Once you choose to import from abroad, you have to spend more time studying the technical standards of others, and then imitate and use others' standards to improve. Although technological progress may be easier, adopting such a method will seriously weaken the Republic’s science and technology. The creativity of workers.

The reason why the Soviet Union is strong is because they have always adhered to their own standards.

Even if there is no way to obtain technology from the Soviet Union or the United States, Liu Yijiu's purpose is to obtain the technical standards of the Republic on these foundations.

Although the Soviet r-77 air-to-air active radar guided missile has technology, the technology that China will use is not all, but some.The exchanged products also need to improve the interface of the weapon system, otherwise it would be impossible to launch them.

"Don't import, what shall we do? Don't you do the test?" Xia Fei frowned and said.

Liu Yijiu is simply a dead brain a lot.

The time is already tight, so can't we take a few aircraft to make emergency response and then conduct our own technical research?

"Or let Iran or Iraq help us experiment? Directly use actual combat to test performance?" Long Yaohua was also a little dissatisfied.

Although the Soviet Union is preparing to withdraw its troops from the border, the development of the army of the Republic requires more advanced fighters and missiles!

"No, we can change the strong five to an unmanned drone!" Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and said.

When Xia Fei and Long Yaohua heard this, they jumped up, "No, absolutely not! That's the mainstream fighter with the most equipment in our army..."

Liu Yijiu curled his lips and looked at the two big men, and said with contempt, "What mainstream fighter? This thing is basically a first-generation machine. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was barely advanced, but now This thing is a backward thing! I don't know what the leaders of the Air Force think, why are they still producing the top five?"

The Strong Five is a single-seat, twin-engine supersonic light attack aircraft developed by China based on the F-6 imitation of the Soviet MiG-19.The captain is 16.73 meters in length, 4.51 meters in height, 9.7 meters in wingspan, and has a maximum take-off weight of 11,300 kilograms. The maximum bomb load is only 1,500 kilograms. What's more, the combat radius of this thing is only 400 kilometers-600 kilometers!

Although this type of fighter was developed to support ground forces, it can also be used for air combat. In the end, it turns out that the performance of this gadget is almost the same as that of the Soviet and the United States when it was first developed!

Now that we have entered the 1980s, the fourth-generation aircraft of the Soviet Union and the third-generation aircraft of the United States have entered service. China is still continuing to improve this classic aircraft. Until the 21st century, the Republic is still using this aircraft. Spend money on it.

In the end, after countless well-known results were thoroughly confirmed, when this old master machine that could no longer be old was completely retired, the Republic was equipped with thousands of them!

At that time, the role of this kind of fighter was to seal it up and transform it into a UAV for various military missions and target drones!

The most deadly shortcoming of the top five is that the navigation and fire control electronics are too backward, making the ground attack effect very unsatisfactory, and the combat capability at night and under severe weather conditions can almost be described as "not worth mentioning."

It's not that the Air Force doesn't know it, but the Air Force knows it clearly, but there is no other more advanced fighter to replace the top five.

"With so many shortcomings, the Air Force is still carrying out a lot of equipment...Even if we give advanced avionics systems, are these gadgets worthy of an avionics system worth tens of millions of dollars? Increase the radius to more than a thousand kilometers?"

Liu Yijiu said directly to the two military leaders with contempt.

"If you change to a target drone or even an unmanned attack aircraft, the Wuye with the largest number of equipment in our country can be used to the greatest extent..." Liu Yijiu knows the fate of the strong five, so he does not want the Air Force to invest more in Inside.

The Air Force has been investing money and constantly improving the top five.

From the very beginning, Wu Ye was doomed to the dilemma of "congenital deficiency and acquired disorder". No matter how you change it, it will be useless.

The airplane is too small, no matter how it is improved, it is of little use.

As Liu Yijiu said, if a low-cost aircraft uses advanced radars such as pulse Doppler radar with more advanced avionics systems and computer-assisted systems, the combat radius is only more than 400 kilometers, and it carries more than one ton. ammunition……

The picture is too beautiful for Liu Yijiu to think about.

Whether it was Long Yaohua, Xia Fei, or even Johnson and others, they all felt sad.

What Liu Yijiu said is not wrong. If this is not the case, and it will not be copied in the F-14, the Air Force wants to install it?

"Mr. Zhao, if the strong five is changed into a target drone, how long do you think this work can be completed?" Liu Yijiu did not discuss whether the strong five is suitable for transformation into a target drone.

Zhao Xi frowned and said, "Director Liu, is it too wasteful to use strong five?"

"How can it be wasted? Anyway, target drones are basically disposable consumables. They are directly modified with those old fighters retired by the Air Force. Even if the engine is aging, the equipment is not a problem. This will save more costs." This is a cost-saving thing. "Minister Xia, what do you think of this plan?"

Under such circumstances, what can Xia Fei say?

Moreover, Liu Yijiu did not say that he would use the new fighter planes currently in service in the army, nor did he say that he would produce new target drones.

"Many of the top five who retired were sealed up for battle..."

"We don't use much. Putting it there is a waste of space. When new fighters come out, these backward fighters will naturally have to make way for the new fighters. Although the price of the top five is cheap, there is no way to deal with more advanced fighters... …"

What Liu Yijiu said was the truth.

The combat radius of the strong five is too short, and the radar has not found the enemy. The enemy has started to launch missiles, and eventually it can only become a target in the air.

The enemy can fire before these fighters are discovered, or use high mobility to fight at close range. How can Qiangwuye's old body withstand the toss?Besides, if someone stays in the air for an hour or two, Qiang Wuye has to go back and add oil several times...

"If you use the retired Strong Five, you should be able to complete it in three months. Of course, this is in the case of a complete control system, and the Strong Five is more complex than Changkong-1, faster and better performance. It is very likely. It's not easy to control..." Zhao Xi nodded when seeing Xia Fei, weighed it, and estimated it would be completed in two months.

But he still said conservatively that it would take three months.

"Well, let's use the retired strong five to modify the drone! Of course, the improvement of Changkong-1 has to continue. After all, the strong five to modify the drone is a bit wasteful. If we can develop more advanced drone technology, In the future, we can directly remotely control the UAV modified by Qiang Wuye to perform battlefield support tasks..." Liu Yijiu gave Xia Fei and the others a promise.

Use Strong Five to transform into a drone that can perform combat missions!

Xia Fei agreed with Long Yaohua and others, and things were easier to handle.

The Republic has sealed a lot of old top five, especially those prototypes.

If Liu Yijiu wants to transform into a target drone, he naturally has to choose the oldest and oldest one, otherwise it will be a waste.

Zhao Xi has absolutely no opinion on this kind of thing, but Liu Yijiu is still upset, because the strong five that is too backward cannot make the missile performance test more perfect.

Wu Ye is of special significance to the Republic Air Force.

The Strong Five is the most equipped model in China, especially on the Sino-Soviet border. Xia Fei agreed to mobilize ten retired Strong Five basic models for Zhao Xi and the others to transform into unmanned drones. These transformations are directly related to It is carried out in related factories of China Southern Airlines University.

The work of transforming fighter jets into unmanned target drones is actually much simpler than new development.

Because only need to install transponder, remote control receiver and other remote control equipment on the fighter plane.There is no need to perform too many control actions and instructions, and it can even reduce a lot of weight and achieve higher speeds!
