The 355 New Thunder is the export version of the J-10
"What's the problem?" Zheng Yucheng ignored it at first, and waited until Huo Haiyuan hurriedly scanned the documents before asking.
Huo Haiyuan didn't answer, and then looked at it from the beginning, this time looking very seriously.
"Director Zheng, you've been working on this project before?" Xiong Hongyuan asked Zheng Yucheng.
"After the J-9 was dismounted, we began in the second half of last year and were preparing to take over this project. As you know, the situation in the country is that if it is developed, the troops cannot afford it, the investment is large, and the recovery of funds is slow, unless the state allocates funds. We finance our own projects, so we naturally have to find customers to get started. Zheng Yucheng pretended to answer seriously.
In fact, this document is only in his hands today.
This is a new technical performance index that Xie Kai made after modifying it according to the J-9 fighter project.
"Canard layout, wing body integrated aerodynamic layout, swept wing with 40 degrees of inclination of large delta wing, air intake 10 degrees of inward inclination to improve high angle of attack performance?"
"A turbofan engine with high thrust and low fuel consumption?"
"The maximum take-off weight is not less than 17000kg, and the standard configuration is 7000kg?"
"Pulse-Doppler radar with room for active phased array radar upgrades......"
A series of performance indicators made the surprise on Huo Haiyuan's face more and more serious.
"Have you done a simulation experiment? Or have you done a demonstration and analysis? This is a fighter jet, nothing else, not just a casual assumption, you just want to incorporate some technology. Eventually, he said the words in all seriousness.
The person who made this plan is simply messing around.
There are many things in this, which can be said to be inexperienced in China.
There's nothing wrong with adopting new technologies to improve performance, but in these major projects, new technologies also mean increased risk.
What the 404 wants is no longer a light fighter, but a medium fighter, or a fighter with multiple combat capabilities.
Given enough time, enough money, everything is not a problem.
The problem is that the other side made it clear at the beginning that it could not exceed $500 million in R&D spending.
"What, there's a problem?" asked Zheng Yucheng.
"Not only is there a problem, it's very serious. Huo Haiyuan can't see these people who don't understand pointing fingers at the technology, "Such a plan can be said to far exceed the performance indicators, but it has made strict restrictions on the design of the entire fighter." ”
Seeing that Huo Haiyuan was wrong, Zheng Yucheng's face darkened, and Xiong Hongyuan hurriedly spoke, "Director Zheng, we have to go back and convene experts from all walks of life to discuss and see if we can achieve it, but we can't give an answer now." ”
"This plan doesn't have to be done by you. However, these technical indicators must be reached. For example, the bomb load, the upper limit of lift-off, the maximum take-off speed, the maximum take-off and landing distance, the range and combat half a catty, these ......" Zheng Yucheng looked at Huo Haiyuan, "I can't do it, I can let someone who can do it do it, and if you get something and don't ask, you can question it, do we pay for it and follow your ideas?"
Speaking of the back, Zheng Yucheng's tone can be said to be a little harsh.
Huo Haiyuan looked embarrassed, and hurriedly explained, "Director Zheng, I didn't mean that. If you follow the above performance indicators, this is completely an advanced third-generation fighter...... The research is very difficult......"
"If it's difficult, it's hard to say it's difficult. If we are engaged in technology, we can't make compromises and design nondescript things because it is difficult. No one wants to design it, and in the end, it's a waste of money and time!" Zheng Yucheng said unceremoniously.
He's not sticking to that plan.
Instead, he expressed dissatisfaction with Huo Haiyuan's attitude.
Since you want to cooperate, you must determine who is in charge at the beginning.
There is no doubt that 611 is a professional design team.
The 404 is not familiar with the fighter project, which does not mean that they have to be led by the nose by the design team, and in terms of technical performance, it is absolutely impossible to compromise.
As for funding, that's not a problem.
It's a problem, and it can be solved.
"Director Zheng, let's discuss first, and then give a reply, what do you think?" Xiong Hongyuan saw that he couldn't talk anymore, so he hurriedly pulled Huo Haiyuan to leave.
All the way out of the headquarters building, seeing that there were not many people outside, Xiong Hongyuan said to Huo Haiyuan with a wry smile, "Old Huo, I didn't say you, this temper really has to be changed." Even if you have any questions, you can come down and communicate again, you can refute it directly, it's not easy to communicate!"
When Huo Haiyuan heard this, he immediately became angry, "Which of them knows how to design fighters? This plan completely limits the design plan, isn't it nonsense?"
"But you can't question it like that, right? If there are difficulties, we can list them one by one after studying and explain to them clearly, didn't you do this before?" Xiong Hongyuan naturally understood.
He didn't see the technical indicators, and he didn't see what was inside.
"See for yourself!" Huo Haiyuan gave the document in his hand to Xiong Hongyuan.
Xiong Hongyuan looked at it as he walked, and in the end, his face became extremely complicated.
He finally knew why Huo Haiyuan didn't care about Zheng Yucheng's face, and refuted it after reading it.
"This is almost up to the technical difficulty of our No. 10 project!"
"No, it's a bit more technically difficult than Project 10. Huo Haiyuan took a deep breath and said to Xiong Hongyuan.
"Anyway, we had to work with them on this project. The No. 10 project has been approved, but there has been no clear performance indicators, and the funds are not sufficient, according to what they said, some of the technologies of the No. 10 project can really be used to demonstrate, and there is still a large amount of demonstration funds left. "Xiong Hongyuan has a good mentality.
They didn't know that this technical index was not only improved by Xie Kai for various defects of the Thunder Dragon, but also some of the technical performance indicators of the J-10.
The aerodynamic layout is almost the same as that of the J-10 after many modifications.
After the Thunder Dragon fighter came out, it was already lagging behind, and it was completely congenital.
A light fighter with a bomb load of only 5000kg really doesn't have many users, not to mention that the range is insufficient, and the flight performance is not good enough.
One of the benefits of rebirth is that it allows the process of proving in the development process, testing the design after completion, finding problems, and then making improvements.
Not only does it save time, but it also saves a lot of money.
According to this situation, Xie Kai seriously considered that the $500 million fund is enough to complete the design of the new Thunder Dragon.
Although it is also named the "Super Seven" project, this is no longer a light Thunder Dragon.
Xie Kai positioned this project as an export version of the J-10.
"Xie Kai, are you really sure that you can make such a fighter in your country, and the cost will not exceed 500 million US dollars?" Seeing Xie Kai again, Musharraf asked him very seriously, "You know, this plan is very important in our country, not only General Mubara and General Kachihd are here, but even the top level of our air force has come personally. ”
"Don't worry, Colonel, when did I lie to you?" Xie Kai looked like you don't have to worry.
Musharraf didn't believe him, "You've almost always used this before. Give a low price first, and then slowly increase the price......"
"Uh...... Colonel, the price increase is not intentional!It's that you are asking for higher performance......" Xie Kai was a little embarrassed.
Everyone knows that the usual international methods are not, and they have to be brought up in person.
Musharraf watched Xie Kai eat deflated, and the depression in his heart decreased a lot.
"No matter how much you raise the price, once the contract is signed, we won't pay a penny more. This time, you kid don't want to play any tricks like technology usage fees, threshold fees. ”
Shekai was unimpressed by Musharraf's warning.
It's not a problem to do projects, as long as they see things.
When the time comes, they will pay for it willingly.
"Colonel, are you from the top of the Air Force? Can you tell me which general is coming?" Xie Kai changed the subject and asked who Pakistan had sent.
Musharraf did not disclose at all, "You will know it when you arrive." Tell those behind you, don't be crooked. ”
Xie Kailai's purpose is to find out who the people from Pakistan are, and from this we can infer the attitude of the Pakistani side towards this project.
Then, according to their attitude, how much money will be used to pit them.
From the fact that the Pakistani side came so quickly, it can be seen how much attention they attach to this cooperation project, of course, it is not excluded that the reason for the appearance of the prototype of the 359 tank and the performance is very satisfactory.
But the other party didn't buy it at all, so Xie Kai had no tricks?
"Colonel, you should be clear that we do not have a fighter of such performance in our country. It is very likely that this performance indicator will not be approved by our superiors......" Xie Kai rolled his eyes and said to Musharraf seriously, "If the people from your country are not enough, it will be difficult to convince our superiors." ”
Some of the performance of the Thunder fighter can be said to surpass the J-10 in theory.
It is really possible that the country will not approve the export of such fighters.
Xie Kai had considered these issues when he took out this thing.
Foreign countries have not relaxed their technological blockade against China, and similarly, the domestic technological blockade is naturally strictly enforced. Even backward technology is difficult to export.
At present, the Air Force fighter planes are carrying the banner with the seventh and eighth masters, and the range of these two fighters is insufficient, and the combat performance is not excellent; in addition, the current international situation has changed, and the possibility of fighting a war is getting smaller and smaller, and the country's economic construction is in full swing, so the Yun-10 project will naturally not be too urgent.
If the Thunder Dragon comes out, it is really possible that it will be restricted from export at that time, after all, it is also the integration of the most advanced technology of the domestic fighter project.
If you don't export, you will have to die.
How many new fighters can the Air Force equip in a year? Even after the Jian-10 came out, it has not been equipped with a few hundred in more than 10 years.
Musharraf didn't expect that Xie Kai would tell him this at this time, and their superiors would probably not approve it!
Isn't this fooling people?
For a while, I was a little angry.
