Super military empire

(Greatly added 17/20 for @driden)

"Take down the weapon system, avionics system and everything. All we need is the aircraft shell and engine. Install the radio remote control system to be able to take off and make various maneuvers. On the contrary, it will be because of us. First, the main thing is to study various automatic control technologies..." Facing the strong five in front of him, Liu Yijiu's expression was full of countless complex emotions.

Strong five, this thing, since it was officially put into production in 1968, this master has served the Republic’s Air Force for more than 60 years!

Although it was designed on the basis of the J-6, which is an imitation of the MiG-19, the strong five still has many differences.The original nose air intake has been changed to both sides air intake, and the cockpit has increased armor. In fact, it is a new fuselage with MiG-19 wings and tail section.Although many performances of the top five are lower than the J-6, the overall performance is still much better than the J-6.

Seeing that these relatively advanced fighters in China are about to become targets and be shot down, Zhao Xi feels very unhappy.

"Director Liu, or else we can use the J-6 to transform it..." The J-6 was discontinued in 1983, and a total of 5,205 aircraft have been produced in China!"Strong Five is much bigger than Changkong One, and the control difficulty has also increased a lot..."

The cost of the J-6 is much lower than that of the strong -5.

"Or we can just use the J-5 to get it, and there are nearly a thousand in China..." Xia Fei also said hurriedly.

For them, it is better to use a more backward fighter to transform into a target aircraft, because the cost will be reduced even more.

Liu Yijiu looked at the painful expressions of the two, a little speechless.

"Or, let's use those planes from World War II to transform them into target drones?" Liu Yijiu asked these two painful guys with a smirk."I know you are heartbroken by these fighters, but you have to think about why we need to use the strong five to transform the target aircraft, instead of the domestically equipped J-6 with a larger number of equipment, or even the more backward J-5! Especially You, Mr. Zhao, you have studied this aspect and know the importance of the performance of the target drone to the missile being tested."

Liu Yijiu's tone was very serious.

"Compared with these fighters, Changkong-1 is not much smaller. In addition to the smaller diameter of the fuselage, the wingspan has reached 7.5 meters, the height is close to 3 meters, the length is close to 9 meters, and the weight is more than two tons... strong. Fifth, cancel the weapon system, remove some unnecessary equipment, it can't weigh too much..."

For Liu Yijiu, it's not that he doesn't want to use older fighters to transform, but to study more advanced missiles, which requires more advanced targets.

After entering the 21st century, in order to test more advanced air-to-air missiles, the U.S. emperor directly modified the more advanced f-15 and f-16 to serve as target drones!

This is necessary for more advanced air-to-air missile performance testing.

After that, the research speed is faster and the movement of air-to-air missiles is more slack. It is even necessary to use the double-three fighter planes that have not made breakthrough progress so far as target drones for experiments.

Of course, at that time, it was possible to use a large number of old-fashioned and fast enough MiG-25p reconnaissance planes as target drones, and the cost was much lower.

Liu Yijiu couldn't talk about this kind of thing, and could only explain it from other aspects.

Use this to convince and gradually change the conservative thinking of the military generals of the Republic.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain better performance air-to-air missiles.

Just like a spear and a shield, only a sharper spear can create a stronger shield; at the same time, only a stronger shield can stimulate a sharper spear!

"The J-5 was originally just a subsonic fighter. No matter how we improve it, it is impossible to reach supersonic speed. Even if it reaches it, it will require a high cost. Therefore, for us, this fighter can be transformed into a non-sonic fighter. Humans and machines, but they must not be used to test higher-performance air-to-air drones!" Liu Yijiu knows that he must explain, otherwise, there will be more troubles in the future.

Xia Fei was a little unable to understand Liu Yijiu's thoughts, "Since you said that you can't be a drone, what are you doing in a drone?"

"Used as a target aircraft, naturally it is not performance enough, but we can change these aircraft into cruise missiles!" Liu Yijiu said, licking his lips, "and it is most suitable to be transformed into cruise missiles! The J-5 does not carry auxiliary fuel tanks. , The range is more than 1,000 kilometers. If the weapon system and other unnecessary equipment are dismantled, this will make the aircraft fly farther, with at least 650 kilograms of high-performance explosives loaded, if it only flies for six to seven hundred kilometers. , There are at least thousands of kilograms of fuel left in the fuel tank. Under the explosion of 650 kilograms of ****, the power of more than one thousand kilograms of aviation fuel..."

The Republic of this stuff seems to be used in the end.

"Our fighter jets can't carry the aircraft, and the aircraft is transformed into a cruise missile. Isn't it too heavy?" Xia Fei immediately twitched.

Liu Yijiu's crazy ideas made him very incomprehensible.

"You don’t need fighter jets to carry. Let’s treat it as a land-launched cruise missile. Moreover, the production cost of the J-5 is originally not high, and it is much cheaper than cruise missiles. The only downside is that it can only be used at the airport Launching instead of various launch methods like cruise missiles..."

Power is enough.

But the performance of these fighters really can only be used as cruise missiles.

"Such power and range can reach the level of a medium-range cruise missile. If mushroom bombs are mounted on it..."

Liu Yijiu’s method of using old fighters like the J-5 gave Xia Fei and others a group of suicide fighters transformed from unmanned J-5 fighters thinking about the enemy’s aircraft carrier fleet. Going screen...

"What about the J-6?" Xia Fei had obviously accepted the fate of the J-5, which made countless contributions to the Republic.

He knew that once Liu Yijiu's ideas were put forward, he would definitely try his best to persuade the military's high-levels. In the end, no matter how opposed, these old retired fighters would have this fate.

All the research funding for the J-5 that year only amounted to more than 1 million yuan!It is conceivable how high the production cost can be, and this type of fighter has been spent by the Republic, and now the transformation does not require much cost.

If the J-6 is also transformed into a cruise missile, it can reach a range of 2,200 kilometers with an auxiliary fuel tank.

"The J-6 definitely can't do this. Because the performance of this thing is much better than that of the J-5, although it can also be changed to a cruise missile, which is a bit wasteful, we should change it to a reusable drone. It is equipped with missiles, Remotely controlled, this thing can act as cannon fodder even if it can't cause too much damage to the enemy. Our advanced fighter group hides behind and waits until the enemy's ammunition is almost exhausted, then pounce on..."

Thinking of this, Liu Yijiu laughed happily.

This is a guy named Hulucunren on the network of later generations who has nothing to do, and he has a brain for the purpose of storing more than five thousand F-6s in the country.Liu Yijiu felt that this idea could still be realized. Thousands of domestic aircraft took off hundreds of aircraft at a time during wartime, followed by a number of more advanced fighter jets to harass the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet. If you find an opportunity, you can penetrate the enemy fleet or aircraft carrier battle group at a faster speed. If these fighters bring a few more missiles, all the fighters that encounter the enemy will be released at once...

This kind of picture is so beautiful, it makes people tremble to think about it.

This is equivalent to hundreds of cruise missiles simultaneously attacking the enemy's fleet or aircraft carrier battle group.

"..."

When Xia Fei and others heard Liu Yijiu's introduction, their backs felt chilly.

He was even fortunate that a guy with crazy ideas like Liu Yijiu belongs to China, not to the enemy.

If the enemy does this, China will definitely not be able to resist it, because the United States and the Soviet Union have more such old-fashioned fighters, and they count in the tens of thousands!

"What if other countries learn like this?"

"The offensive side is different from the defending side. If they attack us in this way, our air defense forces will be able to clean them up, and at most they can only become gorgeous aerial fireworks..." Liu Yijiu grinned. .

He smiled happily.

Because he thought of a better way to verify whether this style of play can meet expectations.

If this level can be reached, a certain country will probably cry.

Zhao Xi was also shocked by Liu Yijiu's bold ideas.

When they are researching technology, they never think about using the existing domestic resources. For them, it is too wasteful for them to transform into a target aircraft with a fighter jet, or a suicide cruise missile that can only be used once. .

These thoughts of Liu Yijiu touched him very much.

"Director Liu, if the performance of our Changkong-1 is improved, if we add weapons and equipment to it, will it be able to perform the support mission on the battlefield?"

"This is for sure, and there is no fear of sacrificing pilots! Of course, to meet the requirements of combat, higher performance is needed... On our road, there is a longer way to go. Engaging in weapon research and development, cost It is very important. If certain costs are necessary, we have to consider a wider range of uses to make our costs lower..." Liu Yijiu reminded Zhao Xi.

You know, Zhao Xi is the father of drones in the Republic!

The idea of ​​the father of the Republic’s air force must be opened up earlier. At that time, maybe the U.S. UAVs will surpass the U.S. UAVs on the battlefield...
