Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about which aircraft to buy and sell, let's talk about the aircraft we need first, and the reason for buying it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Jiang Chen continued: "Then why do we spend so much foreign exchange to buy these fighters, then it must be because we have needs." On the one hand, it is because we have gone through a pause of more than ten years, and the entire industrial system is relatively backward compared to the world, and we have not been able to develop any advanced fighters. Then the second is that we have needs, especially the threat from our north, which started more than a decade ago. After the normalization of our relations with the West, the Soviets strengthened their military presence and deployment in the Far East, which increased the pressure on us even more. Especially in air defense, we are under more pressure, so we now urgently need a more advanced fighter to deal with these threats. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, Jiang Chen continued: "Judging from this, there are actually a lot of fighters that are more advanced than us, as if the ones I mentioned above are much stronger than the ones we are currently in service, so 、、、"

Jiang Chen was talking about it, but he was interrupted by Deputy Director Song with some embarrassment: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't go to other aspects." ”

Looking at the embarrassed expressions of some people, Jiang Chen nodded and said, "So I look at these aircraft, and we actually introduce any of them, which will help us." But in terms of combat effectiveness and performance, the Mirage 2000 is good, but I think f_14 and f_15 are better. Why do you say that, because the latter two fighters are specially designed to deal with the air power of the Soviet Union, especially the f_15 fighter, its advanced avionics engine and aerodynamic shape make it an air superiority fighter born for seizing and maintaining air superiority. Of course, the f_14 is good, but first of all it's designed for naval operations, and we're dealing with mostly inland operations, so there's a bit of a mismatch in that regard. And the second, although it has a special aerodynamic shape and a variable sweep wing design, there is a slang saying in the field of industrial design, that is, the more complex the thing, the more prone to failure and damage. Let's not talk about whether we can have the ability to maintain such a complex fighter, let's just say that it has additional and expensive costs due to its complex structure, which we cannot afford. Finally, this price, the unit price is too expensive, and with our ability, we really can't buy a sufficient number of fighters. And even Lao Mei, who has a lot of money, doesn't seem to be equipped with many planes, and there is only one buyer who sells it. ”

"But we can't afford f_15 it, and it's not much cheaper than f_14. Vice Minister Zhao looked at Jiang Chen and asked.

Jiang Chen nodded and said with a smile: "It's not much cheaper, but it adds up to a lot, and it's also a big number.In addition, I think this price can continue to be discussed, and there is still room for further discussion." In addition, I took a look at the information of this aircraft, and it can be said that it is quite durable, and it is easy to maintain, and the cost is relatively low. And this is a battle-tested aircraft, which can be said to be quite good from the perspective of combat examples. As you know, this actual combat and the exercise are different, so from the 14 and 15 exercises that Lao Mei said, I think the proportion of water is relatively large. In addition, I don't think we can just buy a single type of fighter, in case something happens to this fighter, then we have other fighters to spare. In addition, f_15 this is a twin-engine heavy air superiority fighter, from the perspective of the tactical arrangement of multi-purpose and high-low matching, I think it should be paired with a single-engine light fighter. And from this point of view, I think the f_16 with a higher cost performance ratio is the most suitable. ”

"Wait, do you mean to introduce two fighters at one time to achieve a high and low match, and complement each other's advantages?" Vice Minister Zhao interrupted Jiang Chen's words.

Jiang Chen nodded: "This is a common method adopted by the air forces of various countries, and it is also a common method that is in line with the development direction of the air force. In the current air warfare, the first point is to seize air supremacy, and this task is generally completed by air superiority aircraft. Next, air supremacy in this airspace must be maintained by other fighters. It is certainly not cost-effective to use this kind of air superiority fighter, so it needs a slightly similar fighter to fill it, and based on this, the f_16 is quite good. ”

"Won't our planes be able to accomplish this task?" asked Director Yuan.

This time, Jiang Chen did not speak, but Vice Minister Zhao replied: "Those old antiques of ours are in the sky, in front of these advanced fighters, they are a target, the difference is too great, and they cannot be compared at all." ”

Director Yuan nodded, then looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "Then how many such advanced fighters do you estimate we need to fill our air defense gap in the north?" ”

"It doesn't matter how many planes there are, compared to such a hegemon, we can only try to block it as much as possible and leave us some time to react. Jiang Chen shook his head and said.

"Leave that alone, answer my question first. Director Yuan waved his hand.

Jiang Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at everyone and said, "According to the ratio of the air forces of other powerful countries in the world, I think it should be more appropriate to be one to two. That is, a heavy air superiority fighter with two 'low-grade' support aircraft. Judging from this ratio, and considering the huge land area of our country and the areas of key defense, I think three divisions are the most suitable. ”

"Three divisions, you really dare to say that there are nearly 200 planes, and you can't afford to let us all smash the pot and sell iron. Director Yuan's head shook like a rattle.

Looking at Director Yuan's expression, everyone smiled bitterly. And Vice Minister Zhao also sighed vigorously after listening to Jiang Chen's words, while Deputy Director Song frowned. Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Actually, we don't need to pay for this at all." ”

"Oh, how can I say it, it's rare that you still want Lao Meibai to give it to us?" Director Yuan said with a smile at the same time.

"It's not for nothing, but we can take out a loan in installments. Jiang Chen said with a smile: "This is also one of the reasons why I chose the old American fighter, the old United States has money, and now is also the time when they need us to help them share the pressure, so I think they should agree." ”

"What the hell is the idea, we don't have to pay back the installments and loans in the end. "Director Yuan doesn't have a good airway.

"Hehe, don't worry. Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Think about it, do you think that a dollar was expensive in the fifties and sixties, or a dollar is expensive now." Wait another twenty or thirty years, and the money won't be worth much. Besides, aren't we developing now, waiting for twenty or thirty years when we have money, do we still care about this money at that time? ”

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone fell into deep thought. And Jiang Chen didn't disturb everyone, but watched these people with various expressions on their faces because they were thinking because they were drinking tea over there.
