If only from the current Jian-8 RB-199 modification, no matter what aspect it is compared, it is a fairly high-level second-generation heavy fighter, as long as it can be successfully put into service before the nineties, it will definitely have a place in the combat sequence of the Republic Air and Navy.

With a sufficiently excellent power system, the aerodynamic design has also been greatly optimized, and if it is determined to cooperate with the British, radar, avionics, and weapons can be strengthened, and intercepting the Soviet Tu-22 Backfire bomber will not be a headache.

As for the ground capability of this J-8 RB-199, it is really interesting, at least at the mainstream level.

"Yes, if this plan can really be successfully put into service, at least it will not be weaker than the F-4E fighter, and the maximum flight speed/altitude may be able to reach the double 25 standard, which is far more than the F-4E's existing flight speed of Mach 2.2. ”

The F-4 series fighter is a classic design of the second-generation heavy fighter, and its multi-purpose capabilities and air supremacy are at the top level.

As for whether it can reach the same level as the F-4's ultimate magic modification model Super Ghost Fighter, this is really not so easy to do, first of all, the Republic's various supporting weapons and supporting pod equipment cannot be as rich as those from Europe and the United States, and it is normal to not be able to compare.

But even so, as long as the J-8 RB-199 can meet the double 25 standard in terms of interception requirements and has the same multi-purpose capabilities as the F-4E fighter, there is no reason for the domestic military not to support this model.

Lao Wang heard that the F-4E was compared with the J-8 RB-199 model, and after silently considering it in his heart, he also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, if this plan is really successful, it will become a heavy air supremacy fighter with excellent interception capabilities and good multi-purpose capabilities, and thanks to the ultra-low fuel consumption of the RB-199 engine, the range of this aircraft can be increased by at least two-thirds on the basis of the existing J-8. ”

As a three-rotor engine, the RB-199 has low fuel consumption, and coupled with the British's natural skill in engine fuel consumption control, it is not a problem to increase the range by two-thirds compared to the Soviet-based turbojet engine.

Immediately afterwards, for this new J-8 RB-199 model, Lao Wang also has a set of ideas: "If I preside over this project, as a second-generation heavy aircraft that focuses on the interception function, I have to add a half-buried pylon, and it is not a problem to arrange two half-buried medium-range bombs in the belly." ”

The semi-buried pylons are the design with the least aerodynamic drag in the plan for fighters to mount missiles, so that it is not impossible to carry out interception operations with six in two near, of course, starting from the actual needs, it is best to be four in two near, this is probably the best volley combat configuration, the maximum payload that can be done and the optimal payload in comprehensive consideration, the two are not the same.

Wang Zhengguo is also relatively optimistic about this Jian-8 RB-199 project, if he can seize the time to make the project, maybe it will be barely enough, but I don't know how much better the attitude of the British will be than the Americans in the 90s when the international military technology embargoed the Republic.

Maybe Britain can play a side-kick like the previous one and install the RB-199 on a foreign trade model like the Thunder, which can indirectly let the Republic continue to learn something, but in the nineties, it continued to sell RB-199 to the military of the Republic.

Perhaps it can be reminded that it is better to be able to walk on two legs, and while introducing British technology, domestic substitute products should not be left behind, at least they should be taken seriously.

"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you, this time when you go to the Hongqi Factory to talk about the Spey project, don't be too urgent, you also see the potential of the J-8 RB-199 project, as long as there is no problem, Spey and Flying Leopard will have to get off the horse, so now they have no confidence, you can fight for more dominance. ”

Lao Wang has also worked in the ministry for several years, and he has a good understanding of the entire aviation system, especially the attitude from the top level of the republic, anyway, the current J-8 RB-199 program is very important, especially Minister Mo, who is most concerned about this plan.

Under the same circumstances, the Flying Leopard project, which has a single combat purpose, requires a new design, and is not a small risk, has no need to continue in the eighties, when national defense and military resources are extremely scarce.

The last Flying Leopard also experienced a dismount turmoil in the early eighties, thinking that this must have been influenced by the J-8 RB-199 project at that time, and the reason why it was later launched was also because the high-level decided to make the J-82 a volley/air superiority model, which allowed the Flying Leopard to continue to win the work of ground/sea attacks.

Now it is different, as the J-8 RB-199 program continues to be good, if the Flying Leopard wants to embark on the road of three ups and downs again, I am afraid it is unlikely, it can be very clear that the Flying Leopard and the J-8 RB-199 program can only leave one of the two.

The Flying Leopard plan is dismounted, and it is not good or bad. After having a model like the J-8 RB-199, there is really no need for a second-generation combat bomber; as long as it is guaranteed that there will be no such model as the Flying Leopard in the 80s, and in the early 90s, even if the military proposes to need a special ground/sea bomber, the design ideas at that time will have earth-shaking changes.

Therefore, Wang Zhengguo personally feels that it is still necessary to support the J-8 RB-199, temporarily drag the J-7 off the horse, and wait until the time comes, just be reborn again.

.........

After the end of the conversation, a person walked on the dim road, remembering the changes in this whole series, in less than three months, Wang Zhengguo has made the history of the republic's military fighter research and development unrecognizable, although it may be successful or bad in the end, but it should not be too bad.

In a sense, the military aircraft route of the future republic will be directly affected by Wang Zhengguo, after all, what he wants to do is to directly start from the root and shake the "national capital" from the power system, which is the foundation of the aviation industry.

South Africa news has not yet arrived, but there are some things that need to be done in advance, such as contacting the Hongqi factory, such as integrating the aero engine development capabilities around Shudu, which is a top priority.

However, if it is said that the integration of relevant units in the surrounding areas, the price that Wang Zhengguo needs to pay is absolutely indispensable, and the two aviation maintenance plants of the Air Force are the easiest to solve, which is nothing more than an exchange of interests.

As for the 420 factory, this is a directly subordinate unit of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, the temper and the shelf are not small, it is best not to behave too directly, first put up the shelf, and then dig people directly, it is really too much of the burden of the 420 factory, Wang Zhengguo's small body can't carry it.

.......

"Yo, President Wang is back, do you want to know who is coming from our Shuhang today, John! It is the Englishman who came to the Translucent Factory last time, he pointed out that he wants to talk to you, saying that military goggles are selling well in the UK, and this time he plans to deepen cooperation. ”

As soon as she entered the house, Tu Zhenying, who was watching TV in the living room, gave a good news: John is here, the military goggles are on fire, and it seems that the other party does not mean to put aside Shuhang Optics, which is good news, at least there is no need for Wang Zhengguo to toss more.
