481 crashed MiG-29 with Cobra maneuvering violent Su-27
"Why sell the MiGs, because the Arbat Military District has no money!" said Hail Simonov calmly, "they hope to get money from the order of the Chinese Air Force." Not only that, but also India, North Korea, Persia and other countries ......"
"We didn't get any opportunities before, and if we continue to be silent, all the opportunities have nothing to do with us. Comrades, there has been no salary payment for three months on the Komsomolsk side! Outside their factory building, there are fighter planes waiting for the Ministry of Defense to take money to receive ......" The chief designer spoke quickly.
The crowd was amazed.
Grab orders from the MiGs who keep up with the upper echelons?
"You don't have to worry, as long as the Chinese side insists on buying only our fighters, the above will agree. "As the man at the helm of Sukhoi, Hail Simonov knows a lot about it. "A lot of the Ministry of Defense's programs have been cut off from funding, and they need funding...... General Director Mikhail Pogosyan is now working hard for the export of our fighters to China......"
"Boss, you can do it. Chervakov asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
At this moment, he completely understood what the purpose of the boss arranged him to be this business manager.
Mikhail Pogosyan is the general manager of Sukhoi, and he is not here, and the chief designer says that he is trying to convince the top management, and to communicate with some of the top management who have good relations with Sukhoi.
"Chervakov, you know Chinese, so I put you in the business manager of the Department of Public Relations with Foreign Affairs, just to get in touch with them! You are familiar with Chinese and understand their needs...... You are the most important member of the entire program. The chief designer said. "Your most important task is to teach me how to greet other chief engineers with Chinese in the shortest possible time; second, to find out where Chinese stay and itinerary in the shortest possible time, and to introduce the performance of the Su-27 to them before the flight demonstration......"
A flurry of orders was issued from the mouth of Hail Simonov.
In just half an hour of meetings, under the arrangement of the chief designer, everyone found their own position and the work procedures that needed to be carried out, and his opinion was unmistakable - we must grab the order of the Chinese Air Force.
Even, this is just the beginning.
In the future, we will have to grab orders from the Indians and Persians, but that is not a priority at the moment.
The people of the Chinese delegation had been waiting for the Soviets to arrange.
The efficiency of the Soviets was so low that it was outrageously low, at least the members of the Chinese delegation thought so, and they said that it would be arranged quickly, but they waited for several days.
Finally, we have waited for the news, and we will be able to see it tomorrow morning, and the negotiations will start in the afternoon.
"Chief, there is a man outside who claims to be the business manager of Sukhoi's Department of Foreign Public Relations who wants to ask to see you, ......" General Lin Hu was about to rest when his secretary knocked on the door of his room.
"Sukhoi?" the general frowned, but quickly reacted, "Invite him in." ”
The secretary was a little embarrassed, and the general frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"He asks you to go out and talk. The secretary's face was full of worry, "It's late now, the security issue is ......"
"Don't worry, I'll take a look. General Lin Hu said.
It is impossible for the people of Sukhoi to look for themselves so late without a purpose.
"General, I'm very sorry, I ask you to come out so late......" Chervakov looked apologetic when he saw the head of the Chinese Air Force delegation coming out alone, "but this is also something that cannot be helped." ”
For Chervakov to speak Chinese, although the tone is a little strange, General Lin Hu is also very surprised.
"You came to me so late, I don't know what advice you have...... General Lin Hu didn't understand the other party's intention, and he had a faint idea in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.
"I don't know if the general knows about the Su-27?" Chervakov directly explained his intentions, and when he saw General Lin Hu nodding, he said directly, "We think that it is the most suitable for your needs, with a large combat radius, good maneuverability, and a large bomb load......"
Chervakov's meeting with General Lin Hu was not long, only a few minutes.
However, these few minutes once again gave General Lin Hu a more detailed understanding of the performance of the Su-27.
The next day, after arriving at the Kozhdub Aviation Technology and Equipment Exhibition Center, General Lin Hu finally learned why Sukhoi's people were quietly looking for him in the middle of the night. The Soviet delegation, all the officials they drank and the MiGs, not a single one of them was Sukhoi.
"It seems that the competition among these units in the Soviet Union is also fierce. What Sukhoi did seems to be similar to what you did when you cut off Pakistan's tank order?" General Lin Hu asked Xie Jianguo with a smile.
Xie Jianguo could only smile awkwardly, "Chief, the Soviet economy is in a recession, and the Ministry of Defense has no money to ......receive the weapons and equipment produced by many units."
He didn't know what the situation was when Xie Kai grabbed the 617 tank order, let alone what Sukhoi did.
Kirov and others led the members of the Chinese delegation to the site where the fighters were placed.
The MiG-23, the iron-clad MiG-25, and the Su-10, which corresponds to the American A-25 attack aircraft, all appeared in front of everyone.
These are all things that have been seen before.
"General, we've all seen these fighters. I don't know ...... MiG-29 and Su-27," General Lin Hu asked with a frown. "And the performance parameters of these fighters have also been introduced, although they are more advanced than those used in our country, but they do not meet the development ...... of our Air Force."
The Soviets were insincere, and the MiG-29 didn't even show it to them.
What is already technologically backward actually wants to continue to sell, just because the Chinese are wronged?
J-7, J-8II and other aircraft are not far behind.
If you can produce it yourself, why spend money?
"The MiG-29 will appear directly in the air...... a lieutenant general led the Chinese delegation towards the viewing position, "After the flight is over, it will land here for everyone to see up close and understand the detailed parameters." ”
Shortly after taking their seats in the audience, a small dot appeared in the sky, followed by the roar of the engine.
Everyone looked at the sky with the binoculars prepared on the table in front of the auditorium.
The MiG-29 that flew over had three missiles of different sizes hanging under the wings on each side, and under the central axis of the abdomen, there was a huge thing that I don't know if it was a bomb or a missile......
The heavily armed fighters are flexibly maneuvering in the air, and the double-engined MiG-29 is like a light swallow in the air, and all kinds of tactical movements are extremely smooth, and the people of the Chinese delegation also showed shocked expressions when they saw the MiG-29 doing various maneuvers in the sky.
"Oh my God......"
Suddenly, dense black smoke came out from behind an engine in the tail of the MiG-29, which was being pulled up at a large angle in the sky, and the commander at the scene did not ask what was wrong with the pilot, but only heard the pilot screaming in horror that the ejection failed......
"Boom!"
A ball of fire, rising from the ground in the distance......
Watching the scene, you can hear the needle dropping.
The Chinese personnel, who were still excited at first, were dumbfounded.
The Soviets' eyeballs were also about to fall.
In particular, the faces of Nikolai Skobolin and Alexei Federov were so gloomy that they were about to drip water.
"Bastard! What's going on? Didn't they check the fighter plane before it took off? How can they sell to the Chinese when the current situation appears?" Alexei Fedrov, who had sufficient self-confidence, roared.
Even, he didn't bother to ask the pilots about the situation.
Nikolai Skoblelin, for his part, did not say a word, and ordered the technical personnel of the design bureau and the manufacturing plant to contact the technical personnel of the design bureau and the manufacturing plant to find out the cause of the crash.
Before everyone could react, there was a louder roar in the sky than the MiG-29 engine, and a small black dot was rapidly coming this way.
The Chinese grabbed the binoculars and continued to look into the air, and a fighter plane with a shape and aerodynamic layout similar to the MiG-29 appeared in the air. From a distance, the difference in appearance is minimal.
However, the wings and belly are full of weapons, which are stunning.
The Chinese personnel obviously did not expect that the Soviet designers were so crazy that not only a series of missiles were hung under the wings of this fighter, but also that there were hanging points on the center line of the belly and under the engines on both sides.
The Su-27 with a full hanger highlights the violent aesthetics of the Soviets to the fullest.
"Two pylons on each wing, plus wingtip pylons, can carry up to six medium- and short-range anti-aircraft missiles; there is one hardpoint under each side of the air intake, and two hardpoints are connected in series under the center, which can carry heavy anti-ship missiles, aerial bombs, long-range anti-aircraft missiles, ......and so on," the deputy commander of the Air Force, who was sitting in General Lin Hu, briefed General Lin Hu on the situation.
"Why is there no anchor point at the root of the wing?" General Lin Hu, who is the deputy commander of the Air Force and has excellent fighter piloting ability, asked General Lin Hu, who has studied a lot of fighters from various countries, while looking at the Su-27, which is more flexible than the MiG-29 in the air.
"There is a problem with the strength structure, as long as it is solved, the number of weapon hardpoints can be increased to 12 ......," explained the deputy commander of the Soviet Air Force. "The most basic model, the prototype, has only six hardpoints and a bomb load of more than two tons ......"
General Lin Hu listened to this, and glanced thoughtfully at the deputy commander of the Soviet Air Force next to him, perhaps, the fall of the MiG-29 was not an accident or accident.
Such a situation arises on such an important occasion.
"Look at the sky!" the deputy commander of the Air Force reminded General Lin Hu.
I saw that the plane flying horizontally in the sky suddenly raised its head sharply, but did not rise in altitude, but continued to fly forward, and the angle of attack increased - 90 degrees, 100 degrees, 110 degrees, 120 degrees, the plane flew "with its tail facing forward", and the flight speed instantly decreased to almost stagnation, and then changed to level flight and returned to the original flight state......
It was quiet again......
