Chapter 895: Preliminary Screening of These Fighters
Seeing that Director Yuan still had something to say, Jiang Chen said: "Director Yuan, in fact, if there is money or we are not short of money, then we can introduce all heavy fighters." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but we don't have money, so we have to adopt this method of high and low matching, so as to equip it, which is also the most advanced tactical method of the US Air Force at present. They have also practiced it, and the effect is also very ideal. And we have to know that a powerful hegemon like Lao Mei is like this, and he can't be equipped with so many heavy fighters, so he bought this kind of low-end light fighter, not to mention us now. This is also the reason why I have always advocated the purchase of heavy and light fighters, which are matched high and low, and complement each other's advantages. ”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Director Yuan was silent for a while, and then asked Jiang Chen: "Then can we all buy single-seat aircraft, instead of buying their two-seat training aircraft, two-seat aircraft are more than one million dollars more expensive than single-seat aircraft, and the performance is similar." What's more, we also have our own high-speed training aircraft, such as the seven changes that performed well in the air show this time. ”
When Director Yuan said this, everyone started talking again, and many of them thought that what Director Yuan said was reasonable. And Jiang Chen looked at everyone and then shook his head at Director Yuan and said, "Our Seven Reforms of Annihilation Sect are very good, and they are also in line with our actual situation, but it doesn't mean that we don't need advanced training aircraft." These two cannot be compared together, and there is no comparison. ”
"Why not, aren't they all training planes?" asked Jiang Chen, the cadre who thought he was in charge of negotiation and communication.
Jiang Chen looked at this cadre, and then smiled bitterly at him: "You can actually ask Director Lu and several other experts in related fields about this matter. Although the performance of our Annihilation Seven Reform is good, it cannot be compared with the advanced high-speed training aircraft in the world, and the gap is very large, basically one to two generations apart. More importantly, this trainer is not actually about training pilots, its important significance is to give those pilots who have not flown this fighter a platform for contact and learning, to put it bluntly, it is just an internship platform. Once in wartime, the consumption of aircraft and pilots is huge, then it is required to have a system of rapid training of pilots, and this fighter is an important part of this training system. ”
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Director Lu followed Jiang Chen's words and said: "Xiao Jiang is right, these two fighters are indeed incomparable, our Jianjiao Seven Reform is like a walk-behind tractor in the hands of farmers, and this aircraft is like the car produced by Xiao Jiang." ”
"Such a big difference?" said Director Yuan in surprise.
Director Lu nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's even bigger than this, we are too far behind." ”
When Director Lu said this, the faces of several experts and Deputy Director Song became gloomy. Yes, the difference is too big, and everyone swore that the point behind would catch up after a few years. But now it seems that there are not more than ten years or twenty years, I'm afraid it's enough to choke. And Jiang Chen knew that even in the later life, this difference was still very big. Even at that time, we had a blowout in the aviation manufacturing industry, and many new self-developed fighters were launched. However, this gap still exists, and it is estimated that it will continue for a long time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked up at everyone and said, "This is only temporary, we will catch up and surpass them sooner or later." What is the purpose of introducing fighter planes now? On the one hand, it is to meet the needs of national defense and security, and on the other hand, don't we just want to learn from their advanced technology and copy them? If that's the case, then what are we afraid of? ”
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Deputy Director Song first sobered up and said, "Xiao Jiang is right, what are we afraid of now." Since there is nothing, then there is nothing to be afraid of, let's start from scratch, and sooner or later we will design and manufacture advanced fighters that belong to our country. ”
"Yes, that's right, that's it. ”
"、、、、、、"
Seeing that everyone had regained their confidence, Deputy Director Song smiled at Jiang Chen and nodded. And Director Yuan also saw this, he glanced at Jiang Chen, and then coughed twice to interrupt everyone: "Okay, let's get down to business." I'll sort out the materials I talked about earlier and report it up. I believe that the above will take it into account, and it will be very passable, because this is the opinion of our entire group, and I believe that the above will be carefully referenced. So since that's the case, let's discuss and study it according to the plan of two planes. You think we should focus on those two fighters, or you think we should introduce those two fighters. ”
was asked by Director Yuan, and everyone discussed it again. Seeing that no one else spoke, Director Lu took the lead in speaking: "At present, we have contacted these manufacturers, and there are always a few aircraft for us to choose from. They were Reid's SAAB-35 'Dragon' fighter, France's Mirage 2000 fighter, and our GM's f_16 Fighting Falcon fighter today, all three of which were light fighters. As for the heavy fighters, they are the f_14 Tomcat fighter of Grum, the f_15 Eagle fighter of McDonnell Douglas, and the controversial f_18 Hornet fighter. There are three light and heavy ones, of which I personally think that the performance of the SAAB-35 'Dragon' fighter is too backward, and it is not in the same class as the other two light fighters, which can basically be ruled out. And in terms of heavy fighters, I think the controversial f_18 Hornet fighters can also be ruled out. First of all, the secrecy of this fighter is still very large, and it will not necessarily be exported to us. Again, judging from the data, this fighter is not a heavy air superiority fighter at all, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized multi-role fighter, although it is widely used, but it does not meet our positioning and needs for air superiority interceptors. So we thought we ended up choosing two of the remaining four fighters, and from that point of view, there weren't many options for us. ”
Hearing Director Lu's words, Deputy Director Song nodded in agreement: "I agree with Lao Lu's point of view, although the price of Ruide's SAAB-35 'Dragon' fighter is a little cheaper, there is still a gap compared with the current Western main fighters." If we want to introduce it and spend so much money, then we must introduce the most advanced one, so that we can maintain a relative advantage in five to ten years, instead of buying a fighter that is outdated, which is not in line with our original intention. And f_18 Hornet fighter, this fighter is actually very good, and it is also very suitable for the needs of our Air Force, but according to our current situation, it is unrealistic to introduce it back. ”
When Director Lu and Deputy Director Song said this, everyone nodded in agreement with the two of them. Although they are only in initial contact, they have read the specific information and naturally know these gaps. So at present, the remaining four fighters are very suitable for Jiang Chen's choice. It's just that these four fighters all have their own merits, and which two fighters should be chosen, which has become a difficult problem in front of everyone.
