Chapter 726: Tumansky's Reunion Plan
"Avionics does play a very important role in warfare, and the diameter of the radar is of course as large as possible if conditions permit. Although the conditions of the Air Force www.biquge.info a little difficult for the Tenth, the crisis also means the birth of opportunities. ”
Liu Daxiang showed a smug look, smiled and said: "The Air Force uses avionics to win, and it is not true that it feels that only avionics is important in air combat, but in fact, it looks down on the single-engine No. 10, and wants the No. 10 to take resources to digest the technology of Panda and SU27 after the tenth is dismounted." With these two heavy third-generation aircraft, the previous positioning of the 10th in the tactical system was a little awkward. ”
In order to ensure that the panda is launched, China has actually launched several fighter research and development projects in recent years. For example, the Flying Leopard, the project was withdrawn at the last minute after the completion of research and development, but it is indeed a pity, but the Flying Leopard's main equipment target, the Navy, only has a localized panda in its eyes, and looking back, the Flying Leopard will inevitably "once be difficult to turn into water".
The biggest supporter of panda localization in China is not only Hu Wenhai, but also the navy. Compared with the performance of the flying leopard, the localized panda can be integrated into the combat system of the navy, using domestic weapons and equipment, and personalized transformation for the needs of the navy, so that the advantage is much greater than that of the flying leopard.
The Panda can not only act as a carrier-based aircraft for future naval aircraft carriers, but also has a long enough range, a large enough radar, a large enough bomb load, a stabilized combat test, and plenty of room for improvement and upgrading. Compared with the localized panda, the flying leopard has no advantages in various technical indicators. It is not necessary for naval aviation to be equipped with two types of third-generation aircraft.
This is the positioning of the flying leopard and the panda conflicted, and after comparing the advantages of all aspects, the navy chose the panda, even if the flying leopard is only one foot away from being equipped, it is only a way to be hidden in the snow.
The Air Force's positioning before the J-10 is now in conflict with the SU27 and Panda.
In the eyes of the Air Force, the SU27 has a better effect on the territorial air defense mission of the J-10. After all, China's land area is too large, and twin-engine heavy fighters are more suitable for the needs of the Air Force, otherwise they would not dislike the MiG-29 instead of the SU27.
Even if the SU27 can't be cured of hypochondria temporarily, the homeland defense can count on the panda, and the multi-functional SU27 is still very useful for licking the ground. What's more, after the mass production of the panda, it will definitely be a 100,000-ton press put into production, and the hypochondria of SU27 may be cured in China.
After the localization of the Panda, the military industrial system will definitely dig deep into the potential, and it will not be used as a fleet interceptor like the US imperialists. In this way, the Panda is multi-functional, and the Panda may be able to do it easily after the anti-ship work of the HNA......
Homeland air defense and throwing mud, in the eyes of the Air Force, both SU27 and Panda can do a good job. In the past, it was inappropriate to consider the idea of J-10 to fill the leaks of the third-generation heavy aircraft, and your comparative advantage was not enough to make up for the application cost, which was a very embarrassing thing.
One more J-10, the result is that the logistics need to have an additional maintenance system for third-generation aircraft, and this investment is very large. If you can do the task with one model, don't make more than one more.
SU27 with Panda, this structure can completely cover the battlefield positioning of the J-10. In fact, the combination of these two heavy third-generation aircraft can basically meet the needs of the entire tactical system in the future. When the Air Force put forward these improvement demands at this time, it was actually just an excuse to force Jian-10 to dismount.
Before the Jian-10, there were already many projects in the military industrial system that were "poisoned". For example, the Flying Leopard, for example, the J-8, the future J-15 is no longer playing, and the improvement of the J-7 has also stopped. Don't think about Cheng Fei seeking domestic support for Xiaolong, the Air Force is now determined to rely on SU27 and Panda to fight the world.
From the perspective of the Air Force, No. 10 has short legs, myopia and is still a vortex, so it is not too strange to look down on it.
Hu Wenhai understood this truth at all, and nodded with deep sympathy. If he didn't know the significance of the Jian-10 to Chengfei in the future and the importance to the development of the fourth-generation aircraft, he might have supported the Air Force to cut the 10th.
"After our consideration, these requirements put forward by the Air Force for the 10th are actually not wrong. It's just that under the framework of the original 10th, such an indicator is absolutely difficult to achieve. Later, Mr. Song met with us and put forward a new and bold idea. ”
Liu Daxiang glanced at Song Wencong and laughed helplessly: "What is the idea, it is still up to Mr. Song to talk about it." ”
Hu Wenhai looked at Song Wencong with some curiosity, how could he not think of how the tenth could turn over in such a situation?
Song Wencong took a deep breath, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I thought about this later, and the Air Force is not simply embarrassed. If the 1493 radar is adopted, and it carries four medium-range shells, it has a combat radius of 1500 kilometers and a maximum speed of Mach 1.8 per hour. If the single-engine 'light machine' can achieve this indicator, then it will be competitive enough for the double-engine heavy machine. ”
"That's what a light machine is called, and the heavy machine is at this level. Hu Wenhai pouted and said.
"Yes, if the 10th can achieve this indicator, there will be enough space for battlefield positioning in the national defense system. No, or rather, the 10th can completely replace the SU27 and the Panda and complete the tasks of the homeland air defense alone. ”
"Huh?" Hu Wenhai's eyes lit up, frowning and pondering.
"Mr. Song's idea is...... Is it to let the No. 10 complete the task of territorial air defense alone? At the cost of the No. 10 single-engine 'light aircraft,' the positioning of the relatively cheap territorial air defense aircraft can completely reduce the number of domestic twin-engine heavy aircraft!"
Song Wencong's idea was so bold that even Hu Wenhai was a little amazed at his thinking. Since the high and low matching can't be done, then simply squeeze out the SU27 and the Panda from the positioning of the homeland air defense. With such a large land area, China definitely needs a large number of air defense aircraft. If the 10th can replace the expensive heavy aircraft deployed in China with a similar performance, this demand will be too great!
After the 1493 radar is adopted and the new turbofan engine is replaced, the logistics support system of the 10th will also overlap with the SU27 and the Panda, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the logistics of the three third-generation aircraft. SU27 and Panda can concentrate on the sea and licking the ground, and in turn they will have to give Ten.
And if the 15-ton turbofan engine of No. 10 is solved, maybe it will be able to be equipped with three engines in the future. The Panda No. 10, No. 11 and the number J-14 can all use this engine.
With a high-thrust engine, the pressure on the Panda anti-ship mount is gone, which can supplement the vacancy of the navy's anti-ship after the Flying Leopard is launched.
"It's just that in this way, the 10th will be fully enlarged. Replacing the fuel-efficient turbofan, increasing the internal oil and take-off weight, so the problem is back to the beginning, the engine problem. ”
"yes. Hu Wenhai nodded and sighed: "In this way, the performance of the R35 is absolutely insufficient." To solve the engine problem of the new No. 10, what do Mr. Jiang and Liu Lao think?"
"I think the technology of R35 has the potential to be tapped, and it is unacceptable in terms of time and cost to build a 15-ton military push from scratch. We can consider designing a turbofan engine with a small bypass ratio on the basis of the R35. But now there is a serious problem, and that is that we are completely blind to the R35's internal flow field design. To change the design of any bit of it would be too risky to bear. ”
Hearing this, Hu Wenhai immediately nodded his head and snorted thoughtfully: "This is Maozi's old problem." ”
Liu Daxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, Soviet engineering design uses a lot of empirical formulas, but this time it will make us miserable!"
The Soviet Union was known for its level of mathematics and often produced amazing creative results in engineering. But sometimes the design is brought to them and they ask, "How does this work?" Why is it designed?
Maozi's answer is often blind. As long as the design is like this, the effect will be good, why is it good? Let me study and study this again......
Empirical formulas, trial and error. Then use mathematical tools to summarize the laws to form formulas, and the corresponding principles behind the formulas will be talked about later. And these empirical formulas often do not appear in the design literature. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for people who read the literature to get to the bottom of it, and the designer can't answer?
This is not a big problem for the system of the chief engineer of the Soviet research institute, a chief engineer can often support a design bureau, and the development of subsequent models does not need to be faked by others. As long as the chief engineer is accurate, the empirical formula is also very useful. The Soviet scientific research system has been passed down from master to apprentice, and such a system is not a disadvantage.
It's just that once the design bureau is yellow, the inheritance of this department will be broken. Other parties who want to change this design often don't know where to start. There are no formulas in the design instructions, and the formulas are all in the designer's own notebook.
Jiang Hefu took a deep breath and said earnestly to Hu Wenhai: "If we want to be able to start developing a turbofan engine version of the R35, we need the help of the researchers of the Tumansky Design Bureau. ”
Hu Wenhai showed a look of embarrassment and said: "The map bureau has now been merged into the Soviet Union's Union Engine Complex, and the designers of the R35 are probably already going their separate ways." How can it be so easy to get people back together......"
Tumansky died already in the seventies, and the system of the Maozi Design Bureau relied heavily on the chief division. As soon as the chief engineer dies, or the relationship with the upper echelons changes, the fate of the design bureau will be turned upside down. After Tumansky's death, the Tumansky Design Bureau was merged into the Union Engine Consortium, and after more than a decade of changes, it was an almost impossible task to recover the original designers of the R35.
Jiang Hefu's expectant gaze was a little dim, and he lowered his head in disappointment: "Yes, this is indeed not easy. ”
"But...... It's not entirely impossible. Hu Wenhai touched his chin and said for a moment: "Generally speaking, key talents like engine designers will be controlled when they go abroad or contact anyone. Not to mention that we want to find someone to design the engine for us, it is difficult to meet or get a list. But sometimes, sometimes, we just have to have enough money. This is the time, and we need to wait a little longer. ”
"When?" Jiang Hefu was stunned for a moment, and asked blankly, "What timing?"
"USSR. Hu Wenhai stood up, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "The timing of the collapse of the Soviet Union." ”
"The collapse of the USSR?!"
Not only Jiang Hefu, but Liu Daxiang and Song Wencong were shocked when they heard these words coming out of Hu Wenhai's mouth.
Hu Wenhai also thought about whether to milk the Soviet Union, and a Soviet Union that survived would still be very helpful in draining the energy of the Americans. He did so, and in order to alleviate the problems of the Soviet Union, he increased the scale of foreign trade between China and the Soviet Union by more than an order of magnitude.
In the early days, this did have some effect, and with the entry of Chinese products, the problems of the Soviet Union were alleviated to a certain extent. The KGB has a source of funds in its hands, and it also has a certain ability to resist some of the "chaotic deaths" at the head of the map.
Things seem to be turning for the better.
However, as the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die......
During the Gulf War, Hu Wenhai was able to stir up trouble in the international oil market. Hundreds of billions of dollars of bulls were harvested, which directly led to the collapse of oil futures prices. By the end of the Gulf War, the price of oil was still hovering at the $10 to 15 level, and it was unlikely that it would return to its pre-war level in the next three to five years.
This was terrible for the Soviet Union, which made a fortune through spot oil during the war. After the joy and sorrow, the oil industry, which the Soviet Union relied on as the backbone of its economy, ushered in the harshest winter.
Not only did the oil spot profits in the war go into the losses, but oil exports faced losses across the board. The price of fifteen dollars was not enough for the oil fields of the USSR to cover even the cost of production. You will lose as much as you produce, but you still have to grit your teeth and produce, otherwise you will not even have a little foreign exchange income.
Under such circumstances, the Soviet economy ushered in a precipitous decline after the Chinese New Year in 1991.
Hu Wenhai's attempts to save the Soviet Union were all in vain. Far from improving, the Soviet economy was worse than it was historically. Economic problems are fed back to politics, and now the domestic situation in the Soviet Union is simply a huge powder keg, which may blow up a big Ivan at any time.
Hu Wenhai does not know when the Soviet Union will repeat the outcome of history, but now it seems that the fate of the Soviet Union may not be changed. The fierce political struggle at the top of the CPSU reflected in reality, and disintegration was inevitable.
Since it is inevitable, there is only one thing Hu Wenhai can do. How to get enough nutrients on the fallen corpses of the USSR. After the woolly bear is eternal, rabbits that like to grow flowers will burn a bald eagle for it.
Now it seems that he may have another plan in his Soviet strategy.
Plans for the reunion of all staff of the Tumansky Design Bureau.
