As expected, Marconi said that there is absolutely no problem in purchasing ejection seats, and avionics equipment and RB199 engines can be sold, and there is nothing that can't be sold for ejection seats.

When he heard that the new aircraft was going to be installed on the ejection seat of the Martin Baker Company, which is now the most reliable in the world, Prince Sultan on the side was grinning.

"Okay, it's really good that the new machine is equipped with such a reliable ejection seat, our money is not in vain, continue, continue, I will listen to the rest and see what good things will be installed."

Sha Tuhao is good at everything, but he speaks regardless of the occasion, and now the project is talking about the rise, which suddenly inserts a sentence, which is really disgusting like eating*. At the same time, the two sides of the negotiation can not express any displeasure, after all, this sand tyrant is the investor and purchaser of the new machine, and no defense contractor is willing to offend such a high-quality Kaizi.

Chief Master Yu replied with a smile: "That's for sure, we took the money for development, so naturally we want to make a high-quality new training aircraft, this is a must, so Your Excellency the Prince can rest assured." ”

Seeing that the introduction of the first ejection seat has been discussed, both parties are satisfied, and the follow-up seat specific negotiations will be handed over to the following.

"Now that the ejection seat is roughly intended, let's talk about the equipment that needs to be introduced, and we will exchange opinions first."

Continuing to discuss is the highlight of this introduction of equipment, the radar problem of the training aircraft, the new machine is not good just by using a ranging radar like the old seven, and the vacated huge nose is not equipped with a decent radar, are you really embarrassed?

"We need a radar now, and on the list, the radar we see is either over the standard or a little backward, so the radar needs to be changed again."

Before the eighties, airborne radar was almost a ranging function, and it was almost impossible to get guidance. Of course, the radar pioneer of the United Kingdom is actually quite average, but it is much better than that of the Republic.

Marconi didn't expect the republic to be so picky, but the radar of the dignified ** country is still not looked down upon, which is too infuriating. George wants to see what kind of radar he needs, and if it's really necessary, it's okay to change it as he says.

"Why? We provide so many radar options, I think the most suitable is the Blue Fox radar used by the Sea Harrier, all aspects of performance are very suitable for the use of the trainer, the trainer does not have high requirements for the performance of the radar, but it needs to be multi-functional, and this Blue Fox radar is just right. ”

The Blue Fox radar is indeed the most suitable for the use of new trainer aircraft now, this radar was finalized in 81, and then it was gloriously sent to the Falklands battlefield.

The biggest problem is that the Blue Fox does not have the ability to look down, which led to the successful low-altitude penetration of Argentina in the Falklands War, and taught the British a lesson with the Flying Fish, and then the British developed a powerful sea female fox radar from the new.

The current Blue Fox radar does not have the ability to look down, and everything else is not bad, as a fleet air defense airborne radar, the Blue Fox can be used for two purposes: intercepting and attacking sea surface targets in the air.

It has working methods such as search, tracking, attacking, weapon aiming, navigation correction, etc. Tail-chasing attacks can be used against air targets, and even guided medium-range missiles can be fired. Air-to-sea weapons can also be launched, and radar data is used as weapon delivery commands. These excellent performances are invaluable to achieve on such a small radar.

The performance of the radar is quite good, mainly in the eighties when this radar was cheap, when the British developed this radar to give up the ability to look down, in order to make the radar cheaper.

In fact, this radar is indeed cheap, simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and the same development cost is a low mess, when the British developed the Blue Fox radar, they directly optimized the wave radar equipped on the helicopter.

In all aspects, such a radar was finally developed, in all fairness, this radar is actually very good, but his only drawback is the ability to see downward, but as a training aircraft is absolutely enough.

If the new trainer is only to make a trainer aircraft, then both the Navy and the Air Force can accept such a guy whose performance far exceeds that of similar domestic radars.

However, in China, there are other ideas for the new aircraft, and at this time, it is impossible to ignore the shortcomings of the new radar and the lack of downward viewing ability. In the 80s, China happened to meet with the Soviet Union on the northern border, and wanted to intercept the Soviet Tu-22M3 bomber, so what was there to play if it didn't have the ability to look down.

At that time, the main bomber of the Soviet Union, the Tu-22M3, was the best at penetrating the defense at low-altitude supersonic speed, which was a big problem in the country at that time, and there was no way to intercept it, and the entire north was dangerous, including the imperial capital.

As for the Navy, is it really possible that you asked the Navy to buy a radar that was exposed in the Battle of the Falklands? However, the change in facts is so laughable, and in the end, the Navy really wanted this radar, and the reasons are naturally many.

Chief Engineer Yu is actually quite optimistic about this radar, it is light in weight, the performance is barely okay, and the use of the fighter is quite appropriate.

"I'm also very optimistic about this radar, the only drawback is that this radar does not have the ability to look down, which is the most distressing, if it can be improved, increase the ability to see down, then we will definitely purchase."

Chief Master Yu's words were light, but George was about to cry when he heard it, how could it be so simple to increase his downward vision. The Blue Fox radar is essentially only a radar used by a second-generation aircraft, and almost all second-generation radars are like this, and they do not have the ability to look down. As for improvements, the old design body makes this radar practically unnecessary.

Although George really wanted to improve it as the chief engineer said, he knew that now that Britain had abandoned this radar, what else should be changed.

"Mr. Yu, I won't talk nonsense, now the main design of this radar is not suitable for further improvement to increase the downward view capability, the Royal Navy has given up on continuing to improve this radar, and has begun to develop a new main combat radar."

George's frank confession made Chief Master Yu fall into deep contemplation, Britain itself gave up this developed radar and started anew, then this Blue Fox radar is really chicken.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to look at other radars, maybe there's a more suitable one."

Chief Engineer Yu temporarily announced the suspension of the talks with the mentality of continuing to look for it, and he now needs to find a new radar, only in this way can it match the performance of the new fighter plane.

Yang Hui knew what Chief Engineer Yu was considering, in fact, the development of the new aircraft was aimed at the fighter, and the training plane was just a pretense. That's what the people at the base think; That's what the army thinks; In fact, the Pakistani side has also seen the clues of the development line of the new machine, but it has not withdrawn its investment, which shows Pakistan's attitude.

Chief Yu walked out of the meeting hall and quickly found a telephone and contacted the General Staff of the Army to report this not very good news. The other side of the phone is obviously hesitant, after all, this radar selection is related to such a major event as changing the two-seat back to a single-seater, and it must not be sloppy.

"You tell me first that you have no other plans, if you have any plans, just tell me about it, I will immediately ask the opinion of the Navy and Air Force, and I will give you an answer in the afternoon, and I also know that you are very busy for negotiations."

Chief Yu himself is not sure about the choice of radar, now the international market excellent light multi-function radar is indeed rare, the only possible radar in France, the Mirage 2000 uses RDM/RDI two radars with good performance, but not only expensive, but also a little overweight.

I really couldn't think of a suitable radar, so Chief Engineer Yu could only tell the truth: "I really don't have anything to recommend this, and now the radar that meets the requirements in the world has not yet been put on the shelves for sale." ”

As far as the general staff is concerned, the intelligence is perfect, so naturally we have a general understanding of the situation reported by the chief division, and there are too few radars that meet the requirements of the new aircraft, and I am afraid that in the end, it will be indispensable to use the radar of the second-generation aircraft.
