538 The J-8 fighter jet that even Iran looks down on
A MiG-25 was dismantled to only parts, and the remaining one was parked in the hangar. This thing was the nightmare of the Iranian Air Force, and it did not improve until the F-14 panda provided by the United States.
Iranians are extremely familiar with this kind of fighter jet.
Moreover, even with the Panda F-14, this aircraft made the Iranian Air Force feel endless pressure. The MiG25 flew higher and faster than the Panda F14, and even the maneuverability was not as bad as the legendary outside world.
More importantly, the price of MiG-25 is much lower than that of the F-14.
Compared with the Soviet aircraft that use a large number of titanium alloys, the cost-effectiveness is obviously not advantageous when compared with the Soviet aircraft that use stainless steel.
The only difference is that the f14 has better maneuverability, and at the same time, the US avionics system is not comparable to that of the Soviets who were backward in the electronics industry.
"Director Liu, are you?" Canon really didn't expect it.
Liu Yijiu naturally understood what Canon meant. "This is a collection of all the top fighter aircraft production and manufacturing designers in the country. They worked together to study the Soviets' technology of high-altitude high-speed fighter jets. Then, they used these technologies to improve the performance of our country's fighter jets. The maximum range of MiG-25 is more than 3,000 kilometers, while the maximum range of F14 is only 2,500 kilometers. I believe you know the speed more clearly than us..."
The MiG-25 here, even Americans are jealous.
The plane they obtained was just a defected plane from the Soviet Far East to Japan. In the end, because the fighter pilots flew too long at high speed, the MiG-25 engine they had was scrapped.
The data on this type of fighter jet is not comprehensive in the hands of Americans.
"The Soviet avionics system is known to everyone all over the world. We draw on the aerodynamic layout of the Soviets. Especially the aircraft that can reach Mach 283 and can fly to an altitude of 24,000 meters, if the American avionics system is added..." Liu Yijiu painted the prospect.
It was his idea, and he was planning to do this.
He is unwilling to let Americans gain too much on this because Americans have a good foundation and once a technology is breakthrough, the entire aviation industry will be improved.
The United States is the enemy that China must face in the future.
The Soviet MiG-25s were all made of stainless steel, which not only reduced production costs, but also greatly improved the performance of the entire fighter. Compared with the pandas that had to use titanium alloy in the United States, it was much better, especially for the Chinese.
"At present, the 611 Institute under our Ninth Academy is designing a twin-three-performance fighter with a maximum flight speed of more than Mach 3. It can fly up to 30,000 meters, and what is lacking is the avionics system of the Americans. Before, we talked to the Americans, and this is not impossible. The only difference is that the price we need to pay is too high. If we cooperate and thoroughly research, we can not only provide you with better fighter jets, but also provide you with relevant spare parts for the gap. You don't pay much and you get more rewards. And we will also reduce the research and development costs of new fighter jets. This will also help you reduce the cost..."
Liu Yijiu continued to introduce without waiting for the other party to speak.
Seeing the two people's expression of disbelief, they immediately called Zhu Houdao over. "This is the director of our 611 aircraft design office. Comrade Zhu Houdao, our high-altitude high-speed fighter project has been in 1974. After obtaining the MiG-25, the progress has been even greater. We have begun to produce verification aircraft..."
"Director Liu is right. In the new fighter jets, we have adopted a brand new aerodynamic layout and used more advanced materials than the US F14. It is not a problem to achieve dual-three performance indicators... but our country's foundation is too poor, the research time is too short, and there is no experience in avionics systems. At present, negotiations with the United States on the introduction of F14 fighter jets and their related production technologies are underway..." Zhu Houdao listened to the introduction here with his ears while he was on the side.
He knew that Liu Yijiu wanted to get f14 from the Iranians, and the cost would be lower than the Americans.
The Chinese fighter designers have long been envious of the F14, which is a heavy fighter with more maneuverability and also has advanced avionics and electrical systems.
More than just one research unit of 611.
"If we provide you with it, as you said, can we provide relevant parts within three years and complete machines in five years? You know, China has introduced British bass engines a long time ago. Have you achieved localization until now?" Samnira's words made Liu Yijiu speechless.
Even the kindness became very embarrassing.
No one wants to face such a thing.
It’s not that the unit that got the bass engine has no technical ability, but that the leader’s mind is not on it.
The J-8 fighter jet was prepared to equip domestic bass engines at the beginning. As a result, the country spent money, but the localization of the engine was not successful.
Soon, Liu Yijiu calmed down, took a deep breath, and said to the two: "The complete domesticization of the bass engine has not been achieved. After all, our materials and various basic supporting facilities are not perfect. Our turbofan Six has borrowed a lot of bass engine technology and has been successful now. For our new generation of fighter jets, the performance of this engine is obviously not good. Therefore, while improving the basic supporting facilities, we are studying the new generation of engines..."
"What are the performance parameters of your J-8i fighter?" Samnira refused to comment on Liu Yijiu's words.
However, Canon stayed in Daba Mountain and knew that what Liu Yijiu said was not a lie. When he saw that the minister asked the performance parameters of the J-8 fighter jet directly, he was also happy.
The deeper the cooperation with China, the better.
Cooperation between China and the United States is now becoming more extensive, and it is still willing to sell weapons and equipment to Iran, which avoids Iran's lack of equipment sources in the war.
Although Europe is still selling weapons and equipment to Iran, the equipment sold is backward and expensive.
If possible, Kanon wouldn't mind that all the troops in Iran were equipped with Chinese-made weapons and equipment.
Liu Yijiu knew about the performance parameters of J-8, but he could not say it, but called the designer from Shen Fei. He did not have much contact with designers and leaders from other units.
"This is Comrade Zhao Yutong from Chen Fei. He has participated in the full design of the J-8. He is currently responsible for Chen Fei's work here." Zhu Houdao said to a big middle-aged man with black-framed glasses, a national face, a beard and a mobile phone oil.
It is said that he is a middle-aged man, but he is actually almost fifty years old.
"Mr. Zhao, this is our foreign customer. He is very interested in the J-8 fighter jet developed by your factory. You can introduce the performance to them..." Liu Yijiu greeted the old man with a smile on his face, then leaned into his ear and said in a low voice. "Iranians, we plan to exchange the J-8 for the F14 Panda fighter jet from them..."
"Really? Then..." Zhao Yutong's eyes lit up immediately when he heard f14.
"Just like this MiG-25, any interested unit can participate in the research, and everyone can discuss it with each other." Liu Yijiu said with a smile.
It is impossible for their unit to take on all the military industry in China.
After all, from the very beginning, he had a clear position on the Ninth Academy. The weapons and equipment of these units involved three military branches, namely, the sea, land and air, but at the same time, they were only the top-notch ones.
The top ones, obviously, will also be the most expensive ones.
This is unbearable for the entire China. China is not as rich as the United States. Even a wealthy United States cannot be equipped with the best fighter jets.
Weapons and equipment, high and low combinations, are the ideas he has always instilled into military tycoons.
Therefore, from the beginning, other units hoped to participate in the MiG-25 research, but Liu Yijiu did not refuse.
Anyway, they did not intend to imitate this high-altitude high-speed fighter with a poor avionics system.
"After more than ten years of hard work, we have successfully developed the J-8ii, with a maximum take-off weight of 17,800 kilograms and a maximum flat flight speed of Mach 22. The practical ceiling is 20,000 meters, a range of 800 kilometers, and the number of aircraft mounts has been increased to 7. It can be equipped with air defense missiles and auxiliary fuel tanks, mainly used for all-weather air defense operations..." Zhao Yutong began to introduce the latest research results of Chen Fei.
"The improved version came out?" Liu Yijiu was surprised, but did not ask.
According to his understanding, this improved model will not fly for the first time in 1984 and will be designed and finalized in 1988.
"Where is the radar?" Samnira raised a question that Chinese aviation staff most reluctant to face.
Seeing Zhao Yutong silent, Liu Yijiu said with a smile, "Pulse Doppler radar, full waveform, has the ability to lower sight/down shooting!"
Liu Yijiu's words immediately made Zhao Yutong look surprised and stared at him with suspicion.
China is still in a blank space in this regard. Even the technical difficulty of 1471, a radar that is not a full-wave radar, with only two kinds of pulse repetition rates, is daunting to the core teacher Comrade Ben De. As a backup of the 1471 radar, Changhong Factory has also begun to develop a 208 radar with interception and firing ability based on the 204. Even if it is just a single-pulse fire control radar and does not have the downward/firing ability, the development work is still not going smoothly, and it can be said that it is full of difficulties.
Liu Yijiu boasted about being able to fool the Iranians for a moment, and in front of real experts, all this is useless.
"Isn't China still in a blank area in this regard? Director Liu, this joke cannot be made." Samnira immediately said coldly.
He also did his work on China's intelligence.
From the beginning, Canon had contacted China, and he had been collecting a lot of relevant information about China-International Equipment Technology.
The Chinese people's technology is much worse than that of the entire United States, the Soviet Union and Europe.
After all, the Chinese people's technology originated from the Soviet Union in the 1950s. There were no technological achievements in the country after ten years of turmoil.
"I'm not kidding. Even if they don't, we can provide you with fighter jets equipped with pulse Doppler radar. At the same time, it can greatly improve the performance of the J-8 fighter jets." Liu Yijiu sighed in his heart.
I originally wanted to ignore Chen Fei and let them go on the long journey by themselves.
However, being looked down upon by countries like Iran that have to purchase any equipment from abroad, which made him feel an unknown anger.
"If this happens, we can consider using the F14 to exchange the J-8 fighter jet, and at the same time, we will also place a batch of purchase orders. Director Liu, our procurement in China has always been through you..." Samnira said to Liu Yijiu very seriously.
And it was said in front of others.
After saying this, a trace of frivolity appeared on his face, "I wonder when Director Liu will be able to deliver it to us? As long as an agreement is reached, we will be able to arrange fighter jets to fly to China through Pakistan within one month!"
Liu Yijiu did not know the specific situation of J-8.
He didn't know whether the J-8ii had its first flight. If it was a first flight, everything would be easy to say.
If he didn't even have a first flight, it would be useless even if he could provide radar.
Now it is not only related to interests, but to the reputation of the entire country.
The China Industrial Industry must not lose face in the face of a country like Iran with huge procurement potential.
"After a year, we have not produced in mass production yet! If you are willing to accept our active J-8 in China, they will be delivered within one month!" Liu Yijiu said gritting his teeth.
When Zhao Yutong heard that Liu Yijiu was angry with the Iranians, he immediately became a little anxious. The young man had no idea how difficult it was to study radars. He had to go through a long period of experiments.
Immediately pulled Liu Yijiu aside, and said to the young man who had heard it countless times but met for the first time, "Director Liu, there is no need to be angry with them. The J-8ii has just begun its first flight, and radar research is very difficult, because in this way, there is no even a stereotype..."
Liu Yijiu was very pleased to see Zhao Yutong anxious about him.
I'm afraid of meeting an ungrateful wolf.
It seems that the historical data is not wrong. The technicians of this era are all pure technicians.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, as long as the first flight is a no problem, we started radar research in this area a few years ago and have made breakthrough progress. If necessary, verification radar can be produced within one month and installed on your platform. The special circumstances of our unit make it impossible for us to leak these technologies..." Liu Yijiu could not tell Zhao Yutong that there is a better one in their hands - the active phased array radar. (To be continued...)
ps: I’m really sorry, my daughter had a fever last night, Hulu and his wife didn’t sleep all night, and took her daughter to the hospital during the day, and didn’t come back until noon. She took a while in the afternoon, then changed her wife to sleep, and she was busy until she had supper. Now it’s time to update, I’m sorry to everyone.
There should be only two chapters today, and there will be something tomorrow, so I guess there will be only two chapters. I hope everyone understands and supports Hulu, thank you!
Chapter completed!
