Super military empire

"Since there are no problems, let's continue. Everyone knows the situation about aerial tankers and transport aircraft, and there is no need to waste time. Just talk about the current military requirements to develop strategies that can meet the development needs of the Air Force in the next few decades. The bomber problem..." After the military stopped grabbing the high-altitude and high-speed projects, Liu Yijiu stopped letting tankers, transport aircraft, electronic early warning aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft report next to each other.

A lot of time was wasted on the high-altitude and high-speed fighter project.

The military may think it doesn't matter, at least they understand some of the unknown technologies of the Ninth Academy.

Rao is now that Liu Yijiu has returned part of his rights to the military, and the military still cannot intervene in many things.

"For other things, there is really no need to spend too much time to introduce them. Everyone knows the situation. Let's talk about the situation of strategic bombers." People in the military will naturally not know the project. To spend too much time.

Otherwise, they are not clear about the strategic bomber project, so they can't explain it when they go back.

In the entire large conference room, all are design and manufacturing units related to aircraft, and everyone did not express any dissatisfaction.

For the strategic bomber project, Qin Fei’s H6 was originally designed for performance improvement in China. Later, the Ninth Academy obtained the Tu-22m2, and they built a team that imitated the Tu-22m. The final technical results were used Thirteen years has been transformed into the production capacity of H-20.

Of course, the H-20 fighter is still the Tu-22m in essence, but it has undergone some technical upgrades, the avionics system has been improved, and the aerial refueling device has been added, and other changes are basically unchanged.

Liu Yijiu brought back quite a few of these medium-range strategic bombers, and there was no need to go into production. It only needed to be transformed into a H-20.

The improvement potential of the H-20 is not very great. Liu Yijiu directly stopped it. He didn't stop it, and the Management Committee of the Ninth Academy will not continue to grant them research funding.

Now that a new strategic bomber project has been launched, competent domestic aircraft design units naturally hope to participate. In order to share the research and development funds, Liu Yijiu let the military invest in it, and also agreed to let the military subordinate Hafei 172 Factory and Qinfei 122 Factory participated.Their funds are allocated by the military according to different projects.

If it were not for this project to be completed in 30 years or even longer from the beginning, Liu Yijiu would never give way.

Hafei and Qin Fei's people also participated in this meeting.

No matter how they fight, it is impossible to gain control of this project.

"The new war bombing is related to the future development of the Air Force. At present, there are two types of bomber technology in China. On the one hand, the bomber is the bomber. This bomber, which is a copy of the Tu-16, has short legs, few bombs, At the same time, there is no matching precision strike capability..." People from the Air Force first introduced the performance defects of the current domestic bombers. "The H-20 has a much longer range, but the same is true, but the penetration capability is better. Hung Six is ​​much stronger..."

"The new strategic bomber, in our vision, should have a range of at least 8,000 kilometers, plus cruise missiles that can reach a combat radius of 6,000 or even 7,000 kilometers... It must have supersonic penetration capability and subsonic cruise capability. , Can reserve space for avionics system upgrade..."

The military put forward a series of conditions.

Most people know these conditions.

Here, only a brief introduction is given. As for the specific design plan, we need to look at the ideas of the project party.

"Old Zhao, the current improvement and design work of the H-20 project requires a lot less manpower, mainly to allow it to have the ability to launch advanced cruise missiles such as Sunburn missiles. Most of the project teams on your side get here. The project is coming..." Liu Yijiu saw Zhao Bingyi's look of expectation and made arrangements directly in front of everyone.

His purpose is to let Zhao Bingyi lead the design of this fighter.

Zhao Bingyi is outstanding in technology, but he is not good at words.

Liu Yijiu raised this in front of everyone, just to tell everyone that I would recognize him, and if anyone objected, he would not participate.

Facing Liu Yijiu's support for himself, Zhao Bingyi was a little excited.

The Tu-22m medium-range strategic bomber was successfully copied. They thought that the country would be equipped on a large scale. Even if it is backward, it is much higher than the H-6 in terms of range, ammunition load, and radar detection range.The result is that the military does not produce.

Without the production of H-20, their research investment for so many years would not be able to be recovered.

Zhao Bingyi doesn't have much confidence in them to continue this project. How can Liu Yijiu's support here make him not excited?

"Regarding the new strategic bomber, we currently have an idea here, which is to use the technology accumulated by the H-20 and some of the technologies on the wreckage of the f-117 fighter we obtained from Iraq to comprehensively design a model that will not be out of date in the next 50 years. Of course, this is also approved by the military..." Liu Yijiu proposed the design and positioning of the strategic bomber.

No one questioned this, because people from the military are here.

No one thinks this is impossible.

It takes many years of hard work just to be invisible.

Moreover, no one in the military opposed it.

"Director Liu, don’t you already have specific design ideas? Let’s talk about it first." The people in the Air Force Department were a little depressed. It took 30 years to design a fighter that would not lag behind for 50 years. In fact, It can only be used after thirty years.

Now they have no way to use it, at least they have to understand it first.

"Before we discussed the design ideas in this regard, in the future war situation, the strategic bomber, due to the long enough range, in the case of combat missions, it is difficult to have fighters to escort, so that the bombers have the combat capability of fighters. One point is not reliable. Because our voyage requirements and bomb load requirements require that our strategic bombers need to have a huge size, the design ideas for fighter bombers will naturally be eliminated. So, the first point, we just Need to consider stealth ability, stronger penetration ability..." Liu Yijiu introduced his thoughts on communicating with the military before.

Most of the people here are experts, and they naturally know that by now, stealth bombers have become a trend.

Of course, not everyone is smart.

A somewhat fat leader of Hafei questioned, "The American f-117 is the world's first stealth bomber, but almost the entire army is wiped out under Baghdad's air defense system. Is stealth capability really important in the future battlefield? ?"

He raised this question naturally because of selfishness.

Hafei assembled the first H-6 in China using parts imported from the Soviet Union. Like Qin Fei, they have a full set of H-6 technical drawings and materials.According to Liu Yijiu's mention, the technology in their hands basically cannot be used in new projects, which will cause them to participate in very few projects.

How can I be happy?

"Since you know that the f-117 is the world's first stealth bomber, you must know that the stealth performance of the f-117 is not perfect. If the first imperfect technology encounters obstacles, just give up? Is it possible to use it? Let’s upgrade to the sixth to reach the technical indicators we need?" Liu Yijiu was a little bit blunt."Although the new project is named H-6k, it has absolutely nothing to do with H-6. Just like the Soviet Tu-22 Blindfold and their T-22M Backfire bombers..."

Liu Yijiu's counterattack made Hafei's leadership immediately embarrassed.

Before coming, Hafei’s management had a meeting and asked to win as many projects as possible in this project.

Everyone knows that it is not a joke to build a strategic bomber in thirty years, but a very serious matter.

The military hopes to use 30 years of time to design this fighter and carry out various technical reserves while building a huge domestic system to support the production and design of strategic bombers.This is the biggest investment and the biggest cost of this project.

Whoever can win more design projects will have the qualifications to build more supporting facilities.

Among the domestic aircraft industry companies, Hafei has become somewhat influential in recent years.

"What's more, even if the H6 makes technical improvements, will it be able to reach the technical level of Tu-160?" Liu Yijiu asked everyone.

Everyone shook their heads.

Tu-160 is more advanced than the technical prototype Tu-16 of H-6 by many generations.

"Director Liu, since we want to ensure that we will not fall behind in the next 50 years and have stealth capabilities, this will cause conflicts with flight performance..." Zhao Bingyi also thought about the development after the H-20.Even their team has conducted a demonstration."To pursue supersonic flight performance, it is necessary to choose the normal aerodynamic layout of wing-body fusion, abdominal air intake, medium-swept wings, and large side strips like the Soviet Tu-160. Conflict in the back..."

"This is indeed the case, so this needs to be considered by the design technical team!" Liu Yijiu nodded and kicked the ball directly back.

Zhao Bingyi was a little dazed.

He originally thought Liu Yijiu had a plan!

"About these questions, don't ask me now, because I am not an aircraft designer. I only propose the result we want. As for how to achieve this result, it is the task of each team in the next 30 years." Liu Yijiu was at the venue. Above, it does not give people the opportunity to question themselves.

After all, such a project, if everyone explains, I don’t know how long it will take.

Is it possible to directly come up with a set of design plans for the H-6k?

If Liu Yijiu had this thing, would he always deliberately get a Backfire bomber from the Soviet Union and a Tu-160 bomber?

He is not an aircraft designer, and even, since the direction he was once responsible was mainly the design of space orbital weapons, his understanding of aerospace far surpassed the aviation field.

"Regarding this strategic bomber, the military hopes that there are two options for having external weapon capabilities and built-in weapon capabilities. When performing medium and short-range missions, external weapons can be mounted; when performing long-range missions, weapons and ammunition are built-in to improve The comprehensive utilization rate of strategic bombers. Of course, the retention of external points can be equipped with external auxiliary fuel tanks when we perform long-range missions, so that we can carry more fuel..." This is how the after-installation headquarters think about the use of fighters.

Although it is a strategic bomber, it also hopes to be able to perform short- and medium-range missions.

When equipped with cruise missiles, the strikes are carried out entirely outside the defense zone, which does not require stealth performance.

For precision bombing in the defense zone, this requires extremely good penetration capabilities and stealth capabilities in the process of flying over the target.

When Baghdad flew into Baghdad when the f-117 flew into Baghdad, he didn't even know it was coming.

In the end, the Americans frantically blew up Baghdad with a nuclear warhead and destroyed Baghdad's air defense system. It is estimated that until now, they have not found how the Iraqis discovered their stealth bomber.

If Liu Yijiu didn't open the golden finger, it would be impossible for the f-117 to go wrong, let alone almost annihilated.China will have to wait until the United States bombs the Yugoslavia before it is possible to obtain the earliest stealth fighter technology of the United States.

"Chief, the strategic bomber itself is designed for strategic missions. At the same time, its main role is deterrence. It is part of the Trinity nuclear strike capability. Mid- and short-range missions are simply not necessary..." Zhao Bingyi frowned and retorted the army. This condition of the party.

Everyone smiled bitterly.

If this is done, why do we need to divide it into far, middle and near?

"You didn't understand this. What the military meant is that the external device is mainly used to carry auxiliary fuel tanks or cruise missiles, so that the first wave of strikes can be carried out before entering the enemy's defense zone. After launching the missiles, continue towards Penetrate the defense zone to accurately bomb the target. In this way, it can also increase the safety of our fighters." This was originally proposed by Liu Yijiu.

Military technology, defense and attack, these are shields and spears, both sides are entangled in continuous development.

With any stealth technology, it is impossible to be completely invisible and will be detected.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Liu Yijiu never thought about being completely invisible.

The military is thinking that the technical difficulty is too high and the cost of a single frame is too high.

Some stealth performance is enough.

The U.S. B-2 stealth bomber has a single cost of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars including research and development expenses!How can the Chinese Air Force afford it?

"That is to say, what we designed is not completely invisible, we only need to have some invisible performance..." Liu Yijiu's words made people a little confused.
