Chief Engineer Yu put forward a fairly acceptable plan, which is the easiest design plan for the base to realize, to change the Super Jianjiao 7 back to a single-seat fighter and position it as an escort fighter, which can meet the needs of the Navy, and at the same time, the base was originally a fighter, and it will not be too difficult to make a fighter in terms of technology.

Escort fighters? Escorting heavy bombers and having heavy bombers attack has to be said to be a seemingly reliable method, but it is quite difficult to do this, and at the same time it is the most uneconomical way.

There are quite a lot of loopholes in this configuration, and in fact, the Navy has long envisaged this scheme.

"This can't work, even if you can design a qualified escort fighter, our bombers will not be able to meet our needs, what we need is a quick response. Although the H-6 bomber has a naval model, the H-6 is too big and too cumbersome to maintain, not to mention preparing for take-off at any time, which is an unrealistic idea. ”

The role of the naval aviation of the Republic at this time was more defensive in nature, and more used to support surface ships, intercept reconnaissance aircraft flying from the sea, and provide air defense support for ship formations.

All this requires the naval aviation to react quickly, and when the bomber is ready to take off at the scene of the incident at its speed after receiving the order, everything will be done long ago, and it can only look at the oil splash on the surface of the sea.

These problems make it impossible for bombers to act as the main force, so in the end the problem can only be solved on multi-role fighters, or heavy fighter-bombers. Of course, it is also possible to hit the plane.

However, the navy has not yet seen the hope of finalized service on the fighter-bomber plane, and the Jian-7 is now in a de facto disappointment, although Xianyang is still raising its own money and insisting. I can't see any way to change the old strong five into long legs on the attack machine.

He continued to oppose Chief Yu's assumption: "So this method doesn't work. We've been thinking about it for a long time, and there's the kind of approach you mentioned in tactical deduction. But there are too many disadvantages for us to use this method. ”

At the same time, Yang Hui is also a little worried about what the general designer said, the new aircraft has been changed to an escort fighter, can it really be escorted? You must know that the Blue Fox radar does not have a reliable interception capability for low-altitude flying objects, which is a considerable loophole, and once the enemy's fighter jets fly from the sea surface at an ultra-low altitude, this will cause a big problem.

At this time, even if the new aircraft has medium-range missiles, it can only be blinded, not to mention that at this time, does the Republic really have medium-range missiles? This is a big problem.

You can't keep a low profile anymore, you have to talk about your own thoughts, the requirements for the navy. Yang Hui has his own set of plans.

"If we want to get a long-range sea attack capability, I may be able to think of a way, and whether this can be achieved depends on whether the domestic needs are too urgent at present."

Although there was no longer much hope that the need for the Navy would be realized for this small aircraft, it was decided to listen to the plan when I heard that there was a plan.

"Okay, then you can talk about it, it's okay if you have questions, we're just listening to opinions."

His eyes fell on Yang Hui, waiting for Yang Hui's answer.

"My plan is simple, or change from our Super J-7 to a single-seat model. Let's call it Super J-7 for the time being, referred to as Super Seven. ”

This name sounds quite similar to that, the trainer aircraft is Super J-7, and it is changed to a multi-role fighter called Super J-7, referred to as Super Seven, which is quite good, simple and clear.

Yu thought so on the part of the chief division and the navy. But Yang Hui has his own ideas, and the super J-7 project still has to be pulled out to make up for the regrets of his previous life.

"Our Super Seven is equipped with anti-ship missiles, and there is no way to carry enough fuel at the same time. This is due to insufficient thrust of the engine, which we cannot compensate. To make up for it in terms of thrust, at least we can't do it now, and naturally we can't install enough fuel to achieve anti-ship operations. But the fuel problem is not unsolvable. ”

The plan that Yang Hui thinks of still relies on the large platform of H-6, but in the plan, H-6 has completely become a nanny role, and what it needs is to ensure the fuel of Super Seven.

"So we need an air tanker to break through the air refueling technology, with this technology, our range, bomb load contradiction will be solved."

To say that the research on this air refueling technology actually existed long before World War II, but the air refueling technology of the Republic has always been blank, this point has always been a big problem, and it has imposed considerable restrictions on the air forces of the Republic.

Now that the Republic has begun to transform from a traditional defensive air force to an offensive and defensive air force, the shortcomings of air refueling capabilities have immediately become apparent.

Hearing about the use of air refueling technology, this is refreshing for the navy, if the air refueling technology can really break through, it will be the best, but

"In-flight refueling technology? This is a reliable method, if we can break through the air refueling technology then it is the best, now the problem is that we do not have this air refueling aircraft project, this is another problem. ”

It would be nice if there was no development of air refueling technology, and this is a hurdle that must be overcome in the development of the air force and navy of the Republic, and sooner or later it will have to be studied.

"Air refueling technology is now a capability that we urgently need, and he can generally improve the problem of short legs of our military fighters, that is, now the J-8 is also a short leg, and our demand for tankers is quite urgent."

Yang Hui's words are not bad at all, the fighter J-8 with the farthest combat radius in the army is also a short leg, saying that he has a large combat radius, but it is relative to the domestic fighters.

In the previous life, the republic's air engine engine project was also implemented in 80 years, but it was relatively late, and by the time the army had the ability to refuel in the air, the republic's island and reef war had been a long time coming.

Now Yang Hui must put forward the refueling machine project in advance and complete the refueling machine project before 87 years, so that he can catch up with the time in 88 years and give a qualified answer to the people of the whole country.

In fact, the Republic began to pay attention to air refueling technology in the early eighties, and this has to start with several classic wars in the early eighties.

In several wars in the Middle East, the fierce Israeli army is the best at long-distance raids, using the enemy's most unexpected ways, methods, and attack routes to carry out strikes, and these are all supported by air tankers as a strong logistical support.

These problems have naturally brought air refueling technology into people's attention again, and the most interested in it is naturally the army of the republic, and other countries that are slightly in need have either researched or bought, and naturally have already had air refueling technology.

In the early eighties, the Air Force of the Republic began a long 'study' under the watchful eye of the chief designer, which was a real study, not a development.

It can even be said that this research can be said to be just spending money to keep the project team, the Republic captured the wreckage of refueling equipment in the Vietnam War, and there was the development of aerial refueling equipment in the seventies, but it was not made for political reasons, so there are some foundations, and the same development team is available.

Now there is still no news about the refueling equipment in 84 years, and it was not until 88 years that I began to make up my mind to introduce British technology in my last life, and the driving force for the introduction of British technology was naturally the direct stimulation of the 88 naval battle.

Of course, these are all questions that Yang Hui is thinking about with the benefit of hindsight, and the navy has also begun to study this air refueling technology after listening to Yang Hui's meaning, and maybe this project can really be somewhat feasible.

"After I go back, I will gather my colleagues to study it carefully, if it is feasible, then the Navy also needs to join the air refueling aircraft development project to speed up the progress, this project has not been enough funds for the Air Force, and it is still dragging on."
