Chapter 464: We want MiG-29
In the mouth of General Marokov, the combat effectiveness of this MiG-23 is quite outstanding, and it can even compete with the F-15, but, no matter how much he blows, there are several points that cannot be changed.
For example, the MiG-23 is a variable swept wing, which is its biggest feature, but its hinge structure is made of steel, and the wing box is also made of steel, while the F-14 Tomcat fighter of the same era is welded out of titanium alloy, which leads to a significant increase in the structure of the MiG-23, and finally the benefits of the variable sweep wing are negated!
This is the biggest disadvantage of the MiG-23, at the same time, the control system of this aircraft is still hydraulic, and the variable sweep wing is still manually controlled, so no matter how it is done, it is only an improved second-generation aircraft, and it is impossible to reach the level of the third-generation aircraft.
It's like your own, you have nothing else at hand, you can only continue to improve on the basis of the MiG-21, and even change the nose to install a large radar, but, no matter how you change it, it is still a second-generation aircraft!
These conditions of this aircraft are impossible to change, which means that it will never be able to compete with the real third-generation aircraft!
What the domestic air force needs is a modern fighter, this kind of MiG-23 cannot meet the needs of the country, Qin Feng glanced at General Lin, and he could see the same idea from General Lin's eyes, of course he was not satisfied with this modification of the MiG-23, what he wanted was a new aircraft!
"If you want to import our MiG-23 fighters, we can do the same as before." Marokov was obviously trying his best to convince these Chinese guests: "We can export the entire production line of fighters at a very low price, including the production line of the corresponding engines, just like our previous MiGs, this MiG-23 will also become the main fighter produced by your side!" ”
Speaking of the engine, it really makes some people in the same industry tempted, now in China, is still surveying and mapping the previous MiG-23 engine, to the present, has not completed all the surveying and mapping imitation, want to produce it yourself, it is far away, and now, as long as you nod, you can introduce it!
In addition to the power of this engine can be used as the power of the MiG-23, there is also the power of its own new annihilation, and it will be solved, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
However, this introduction is definitely not child's play, and it is related to the development of the domestic air force in the next few decades! Should the domestic Air Force be based on the MiG-23? Of course not!
General Lin is determined, no matter how much the other party says the MiG-23 now, it is impossible for him to be tempted, and the technology on the third-generation aircraft is almost non-existent, for example, modern turbofan engines with high thrust-to-weight ratios, such as advanced aerodynamic layouts, such as operating systems, and so on.
This introduction is very important, and it has been inspected in China for several years, but it has not finally taken action, isn't it because of the intricate relationship?
"My old friend, we are not here just to see a modified aircraft, I believe that you must have advanced fighters, enough to compete with Western fighters such as F-15 and F-16, and we are more interested in this kind of fighter in comparison." General Lin spoke.
As soon as he said this, the entire conference room immediately fell silent, and everyone was waiting for each other.
Now our own investigation, almost all of them are the most advanced of their time, the American F-16, the French Mirage 2000, etc., now, the Soviet Union is taking an improved MiG-23, just want to fool itself?
Of course not, we're looking at the most advanced fighters!
Now, it depends on whether the other party is sincere, if the other party is not sincere, then it will definitely be sloppy and fool the past, if the other party is sincere, it is time to take out this kind of plane and introduce it to everyone.
"Of course." Marokov then spoke: "Our aviation industry is the most advanced in this era, we already have advanced fighters to compete with the West, and the latest fighter of the Mikoyan Design Bureau is the MiG-29!" ”
When he said this, everyone was happy in their hearts, and it seemed that the sincerity of the other party was still good, and he actually took the initiative to start introducing the MiG-29 to his side!
In fact, everyone has studied this fighter on the way here, but at that time, it could only be studied according to Western materials, and no one knows what the performance of the fighter is, it is all hearsay.
Behind the MiG-23, there is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter MiG-25, and a bomber MiG-27 modified on the basis of the MiG-23, and then the number is the MiG-29, which is an advanced third-generation fighter of the Soviet Union!
Although it is the most advanced fighter, because now the allies of the Soviet Union are using backward second-generation aircraft to counter the third-generation aircraft of the West, the Soviet Union is also the first to give in, and at the same time that the MiG-29 is constantly equipped with troops, they have also opened the export of the MiG-29.
The first batch of MiG-29s was delivered to the GDR in 1986, and the FDWAFFE could compete head-on with the opposite Luftwaffe from then on, and even they had an overwhelming advantage!
The MiG-29 has already been planned by Moscow as a fighter that is allowed to be exported, and Marokov has already greeted the top management before this exchange, and the top management has already made a promise to allow it.
You know, arms exports, many times, are tied to politics.
What does it mean if China re-purchases Soviet weapons? China will definitely have a higher dependence on the USSR! Even if they produce the MiG-29 on their own, the corresponding engine technology will not be exported to them, and they will have to constantly turn to Moscow for help in the future.
I know that they don't like the MiG-23, and in that case, then of course the MiG-29 will have to be taken out.
"This aircraft is the most advanced fighter of the Soviet Union, if you are interested, I can take you to see it tomorrow." "As for today, I declare that this is the end of our meeting, and for the rest of the time, let's go drink!" ”
All kinds of data on this plane, Marokov did not give an introduction, but left such a pass, the Chinese guests, must have spent a sleepless night, so, they used alcohol to anesthetize, came to Moscow, can you go back without lying down?
