In the new assembly workshop of the 132 factory, the appearance has long been free of the smooth and beautiful F-14 of the past, the tail engine part has been disassembled, the fuselage is skinned, and many of them have also been disassembled, and there is no majestic posture when flying in the sky.

The successful development of the turbofan-8 was not reported to the Military Commission by Liu Yijiu and others, but was prepared to report it after the test.

The turbofan engine of the Republic, in addition to the turbofan-6 improved from the bass engine, the turbofan-8 was truly the first high-thrust military turbofan engine.

"Whether this plane can fly or not depends on the engine. Liu, I'm very worried about China's engine manufacturing technology......" Simon Love, after understanding the parameters of the engine, said to Liu Yijiu very worriedly, "The first few units have problems after dozens of hours of test flights in the air, and they must be returned to the factory for overhaul." However, I can't interfere with the engine, and I'm not an expert......"

When the Su-27 was tested for flight at that time, it was also because the engine could not keep up, so it had to choose an engine with poor performance.

The Soviet Union had a huge industrial base, and this kind of thing happened, and the engines developed by China's backward industrial base had many problems at the very beginning, and it was simply impossible for these fighters to fly in the sky and make all kinds of maneuvers.

"Mr. Simon, the Soviet Union does have a good industrial base, but when the Su-27 was tested for flight, didn't it also fall several times? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. Although our manufacturing capacity in China is poor, but until now. Whether it is an air platform for testing turbofan-8 engines, or a giant panda for a test flight with an F-14 engine, it has never fallen...... "The contradiction between Zhu Houdao and Simon Love is not small. Hearing Simonlov's words, he immediately fought back dissatisfied.

It is an indisputable fact that the USSR had a good industrial base.

However, in terms of fighter development, it was not all smooth sailing.

Technological development and accumulation take time and money to support.

Western countries have money. When people develop airplanes, pilots can simply throw away the planes when they are sure it might threaten their lives. Then skydive to keep yourself safe. But not in the USSR, people can die, planes can't fall.

This is actually the case with the republic.

Liu Yijiu saw that the two were about to argue, and immediately stopped Zhu Houdao.

He also knows it. The two must have had a dispute over the giant panda project.

Now the top priority. It is to let the skies of the republic have third-generation fighters of the republic's own creation.

"Simon, our industrial base is indeed not comparable to that of the Soviet Union, and our aviation industry is even worse, but this engine, in the absence of a choice, we can only carry out continuous test flights, continuous improvement, and cost. Don't think about it...... "Liu Yijiu did not emphasize how advanced the performance of the new turbofan-8 is.

For some people who already have preconceived notions, the only way is to let them see the final result. Only when the facts are in front of their eyes will they believe that China has the ability to meet the needs of top fighters in the field of cutting-edge manufacturing.

"Anyway, you have to put it on for a test flight before you know if you can use it! If nothing else, even in the Soviet Union, it is impossible for a new engine to be tested in the air, and directly assembled on a fighter plane after it is produced, and then let the fighter fly, isn't it? ”

Liu Yijiu's words left Simonlove speechless.

The turbofan-8 engine, with the efforts of Zhu Houdao, began to be installed on the F-14 that had been disassembled I don't know how many times, and I don't know when it would disintegrate in the air.

Liu Yijiu agreed to Iran to provide a full set of spare parts for the F-14.

So, after the engine came out, Samnila personally went to China and waited to see the Chinese imitation engine.

In order to reassure them about China's aero engine, Liu Yijiu could only lie that the turbofan-8 was copied from the American F-14 engine.

The heart problems of the Chinese aviation industry, the whole world knows.

The Iranians know that the engine technology of the Chinese Longwei tank originated from the United States, and later even got it from China, and the fighters, the J-7 and J-8 II, are too much worse than the engines of the F-14. Although, the Iranians are also not able to produce imitations.

Liu Yijiu naturally knew about Samnila's worries.

Of the 80 F-14s Iran has purchased from the United States, less than 60 have been able to take off so far.

The United States did not train Iranian aircraft maintenance personnel in place, and Iranian technicians could deal with simple technical problems, but complex ones could not.

This is especially true when it comes to technical problems with the engine.

Now Iran's F-14s have basically been mobilized around Tehran, mainly for air defense.

Although the Iran-Iraq war was not as fierce as before, it has now entered a stalemate again.

Iraq has purchased a lot of things from China and is gathering strength to prepare to retake the Fawn Peninsula in the southern theater of operations.

However, the procurement of the Z-91, the 336 rocket launcher and other valuable heads, Iraq and China have not negotiated, and Iran should have received a large number of modified 336 rocket launchers from Saudi Arabia, and it should also not use the 8208 missiles modified from the Hongqi-2 air defense missile.

At present, the two sides have not yet started a missile attack on the city, and the negotiations and the war are intermittent, talking for a period of time, fighting a war, and then talking for a while......

"Director Liu, is there really no problem with these engines? Otherwise, you choose a group of excellent technicians to go to our country to analyze the TF30-P-412 afterburner turbofan engine in more depth, especially the front-line technicians...... "Samnila was waiting for the assembly process, and proposed to Liu Yijiu.

When Liu Yijiu heard his words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend up.

"General, if your country wants our technicians to help you study and repair the F-14 engine, you can just say it. China and Iran have a deep friendship, especially the good cooperation we have carried out over the years......"

If you can make money at the same time, you still have to study the power technology of the Americans, why not?

"What about fighter maintenance?"

"It's not a problem. We can talk about this, but it may take some time and a lot of cost......"

"That's fine. At the beginning, you promised to provide all spare parts within three years and imitation ......fighters within five years," Samnila complained to Liu Yijiu, "Although we have advanced third-generation fighters and have unparalleled performance advantages over Iraq's various fighters, there are too many of their fighters......"

Iraq now has the dual support of the Soviet Union and the United States, and the warplanes can be easily replenished.

Samnila did not tell Liu Yijiu that what they were anxious about now was that in order to sell weapons to them, the Soviet arms salesmen had sold hundreds of newly developed MiG-29s to Iraq, and at the same time, Iraq was in contact with the United States to purchase F-15s.

"Sir, don't worry. As long as there are no problems with the current test flights, we will be able to fully supply the engine. Moreover, the test flight of the imitation model has been carried out continuously and effectively...... "Liu Yijiu understands that he must seize the opportunity to sell more weapons and equipment to Iran and Iraq before then."

The Americans and Soviets began to work hard in both countries.

If it weren't for the fact that China had hooked up with the Iranian side from the beginning and wanted to sell weapons, it would have been able to sell worthless things like **** tanks and Jian-7.

"Now our imitation work test flights, as well as tests of the engine, are carried out almost at the same time. Mass production will be available soon! Liu Yijiu told Samnila that the other party was not relieved by his words.

And during this period, people from the Iraqi side also came.

The Iraqi side did not pay much attention to the Chinese fighter planes, after all, as long as their president, Mr. Saddam, wanted, they could get the most advanced fighters from the Soviet Union and the United States, 12 MiG-29 fighters have entered service with the Iraqi Air Force, and the American F-15 is currently being negotiated.

China's aircraft are not equipped with a few of them, whether it is the J-7 or the J-8II, the performance is too poor.

"Advanced fighters? Mr. Liu, you're not mistaken, right? Have Chinese fighter jets solved the heart disease problem? "For Liu Yijiu to sell them fighter planes, Kanlam, who originally came to purchase Dongfeng-3 missiles and other weapons such as cloud burst bombs, it was like hearing a big joke.

Liu Yijiu was not surprised by Kanlam's ridicule.

There was no overly violent reaction either.

"General Khamlam, you definitely didn't hear it wrong, and I didn't say it wrong. Here, of course, it doesn't make much sense to just say. If you want, we can take you to see the fighter planes we are going to sell to you......" Liu Yijiu said calmly.

As for what kind of fighters China can provide, Kram is also very curious.

They have seen a lot of Soviet and American fighters, but Chinese fighters are really bad.

Liu Yijiu arranged the Iranians into the base, and then took the Iraqis into the 132 factory, and when Kanram saw two huge twin-engine heavy fighters in the production workshop that were exactly the same as the skins, his eyes fell.

F-14！

"You got the technical data of the F-14 from the Americans?" Cumram immediately screamed!
