Watching everyone discuss, Jiang Chen spoke: "I also agree with Deputy Director Song and Director Lu, these four fighters are indeed more suitable for us. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info So now we have to choose two models to focus on among the four fighters, and we have a total of four collocations according to the light and heavy combinations. One is to pair f_14 Tomcat fighter with the Mirage 2000 fighter, and the second is to pair the f_15 Eagle fighter with f_16 Fighting Falcon fighter. Then in turn, the same f_15 Eagle fighter can be paired with a Mirage 2000 fighter, and the f_14 Tomcat fighter can also be paired with a f_16 Fighting Falcon fighter, nothing more than these four schemes. In terms of price, the price of the f_14 Tomcat fighter is the most expensive, followed by the f_15 Eagle fighter, and the preliminary price of these two fighters is more than 50 million US dollars. The preliminary quotations of the Mirage 2000 fighter and the f_16 Fighting Falcon fighter are both around 30 million US dollars, and the difference is not very large. However, judging from the combination of maintenance costs and other supporting products, the maintenance cost of f_14 Tomcat fighter is the highest among heavy fighters. In the light fighter, the maintenance cost and spare parts of the Mirage 2000 fighter are much higher than that of the f_16 Fighting Falcon fighter. After all, in the development and production of France, France did not strictly control costs and maintenance expenses like Lao Mei. ”

"In addition, 、、、" Jiang Chen looked at the people who were listening intently and continued: "In terms of collocation, as well as the overall maintenance cost, my suggestion is to eliminate the Phantom 2000. Although our Air Force likes it very much, and the performance is not bad, we are now introducing two fighters. In this way, if these two fighters are divided into two design and production systems, it will be very troublesome in terms of equipment coordination, as well as the replacement of parts, and later maintenance, and greatly increase the cost. And in this regard, what has been done better, or what people have long taken into account, is these three fighters of the United States. Of course, the f_14 Tomcat fighter may be a little worse, but it is better and more mature in terms of the high and low matching and unified maintenance of the f_15 Eagle fighter and the f_16 Fighting Falcon fighter. And in terms of key components, they are all interchangeable, for example, these two fighters are equipped with the F100-PW-100 turbofan engine of the universal company. And we can also get an upgraded version of this engine, the F110-GE-100 turbofan engine with more thrust, which Lao Mei only equipped their fighters with a few years ago. Based on our current relationship between our two countries, it is not too difficult for us to obtain this engine. And there are many more of the same parts like this, these two fighters. Therefore, if we introduce these two fighters, it will be very beneficial for our logistics support, as well as in terms of maintenance cost control. ”

Hearing Jiang Chen say this, everyone discussed and exchanged in low voices. It is not difficult to see from the demeanor and words that in fact, there are still arguments, some for and some against. Deputy Director Zhao on the side asked Jiang Chen: "In this way, you agree with the high and low matching scheme of the f_15 Eagle fighter and the f_16 Fighting Falcon fighter." But have you ever thought that if this happens, then we are facing a big risk? If there is a problem with one component, then not all fighters will have to be grounded. Another is that if we choose to import fighter planes in one country, then in case our relations with this country deteriorate in the later period, then we will not lose the channel for importing fighter jets. Then these fighters that we bought before may be paralyzed due to the lack of spare parts, and end up in a pile of broken copper and iron. ”

When Deputy Director Zhao asked this, everyone turned their heads to Jiang Chen, wanting to hear his answer. After Jiang Chen heard this question, he quickly organized his words, so he smiled and replied: "Actually, this is the risk we have to face, who makes us unable to produce ourselves, this is inevitable." But it seems to me that these two fighters have been in service with the air forces of the United States and other countries for many years and have been upgraded to a new generation. Judging from the information we have obtained, such accidents are rare, and these two fighters are still very reliable. If we only introduce the A/B models of these two fighters, their technology is very mature, and it is impossible for such a large-scale collective failure to occur. As for the risk of this single channel being controlled by others, I think it is completely impossible to consider it, or there is no way to change it. At present, our direction is biased towards the West, and the largest and strongest country in the West is the United States, which has been dominating and influencing the West since the end of the war by relying on its own strong national strength. In this way, if our relations with the United States deteriorate, they will no longer export fighter planes to us. Do you think it will allow other countries to export fighter jets to us, especially those under its dominance? Do you think that if our relations with Laos and the United States really deteriorate, France will risk offending Laos and the United States by exporting fighter jets and weapons to us?"

When Jiang Chen said this, everyone shook their heads in unison. Although Jiang Chen said this fact is cruel, the reality is like this. Unless we can import weapons and equipment to countries that cannot be influenced by the United States, then the only thing that exists in the world at present is the Soviet Union. But now the question is that we are fighting against the Soviet Union, how can we get weapons and equipment from our opponents.

After a long time, Director Yuan put down his pen and notebook that had been full of records, and then looked up at everyone: "If you have any opinions, you can say it, we are discussing the problem, and we all express our own opinions." ”

It was still Director Lu, who couldn't bear to speak first: "My views and Xiao Jiang's views are basically the same, and Xiao Jiang's analysis is also very reasonable, this is indeed a fatal problem for us." But now we have nothing to do but already fighters from abroad. Therefore, we believe that the matter of being controlled by others is inevitable as long as we import weapons and equipment from abroad, no matter which country we come from, unless we can produce them ourselves. In that case, there is no need to consider this aspect. So I think what Xiao Jiang said, choosing two fighters with the same system can be as unified as possible, which is conducive to our later logistics support and unified maintenance. And there is an advantage in the same system, that is, in other supporting products, such as the Leidan command system and attached missiles, can be unified. In this way, we can save a lot of money. Even on some supporting equipment, it is possible to purchase only one set to serve these two aircraft. This is beneficial to us in terms of funding and maintenance, and in wartime, it is also very beneficial to our logistical support. ”

"Yes, what Lao Lu said makes sense, these two areas are very beneficial to us. ”

"Well, I also agree with Xiao Jiang's plan. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, expressing their agreement with Jiang Chen and Director Lu's point of view, and the atmosphere in the room became lively, and everyone spoke freely and expressed their views and opinions. (To be continued.) )
