Chapter 876: For a Transition
The idea of stepping on two boats is indeed very bad, but the situation at this time is like this, for example, the previous face of Fengtian not only stepped on two boats, but also played very slippery, after the Su-27 localization of the J-11 fighter project, followed by the launch of the follow-up J-83 program, which can not be said to be without ideas.

It's just that the J-83 in this situation is definitely impossible to continue to appear, and at this time, Fengtian is focused on the competition of the fourth-generation heavy annihilation project and the domestic production of the third-generation heavy annihilation Su-27, and there is no idea and necessity for them to continue to develop the J-83.
As for Yang Hui's sentence that it is enough to let Fengtian do a good job of the Su-27, this sentence has a lot of origin and history, and when the No. 10 project was launched ten years ago, General Zhang Aiping, who was in charge of the bidding project at that time, said bluntly that it was enough to let Fengtian do a good job in the Jian-8 series of aircraft.
Although there were many flavors and meanings in that sentence at that time, Yang Hui changed the Jian-8 to the Su-27 at this time and said it again, which is also not wrong, concentrating on doing great things has always been the glorious tradition of our republic, and he dared to say "no" in heaven?
The answer to Yang Hui was not so positive: "It must be a little difficult for them to give up the J-82, but the MiG-31 is indeed a very good high-altitude and high-speed interceptor. ā
At this time, for the navy of the republic, the MiG-31 is still very attractive, since they have chosen to give up the plan to change the Su-27, then the introduction of the MiG-31 and the J-18 to match, this is definitely the best and easiest to do in the next two decades A naval fighter system layout.
Using the MiG-31, which can be obtained directly through procurement, as a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor combat aircraft, this guy can gently brush past the F-15 even against typical third-generation aircraft such as the F-15, and it belongs to the kind that does not take away a cloud.
Also when encountering those slow special aircraft, the two-seater J-18 rushed over with an electronic warfare pod to play a Phoenix legend to these guys, which must also be very exciting, and in terms of J-18's low-altitude and low-speed maneuverability, what special aircraft can pretend to be forced in front of J-18?
Wait for more than ten years later, before 2010, almost the four generations of the republic's own heavy war will be born, and at that time it will just be able to take over the combat mission of the MiG-31, at this time, the MiG-31 will be an excellent high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, and then our republic will also be able to make a good wave on the head of the hostile forces along the coast, especially on the other side of the strait that has always liked to peep, and they must know that it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
I don't know what kind of way the navy came up with, but Yang Hui believes that with the current development of this plane, as long as the navy has the will, it is still very likely to introduce the MiG-31 into the army of the republic, which is an aircraft with quite good performance after all.
"Of course, it is best to be able to get the MiG-31 back, for example, there are many MiG-31s scattered in the former Soviet republics, and after we buy these aircraft at a low price, we will cooperate with the Mikoyan Design Bureau to have a major performance upgrade and life extension, and the number should still be able to make up more than 100 aircraft."
Directly pull out the grounded MiG-31 from the aircraft stacks of the republics after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, so that the cost-effectiveness ratio will be relatively high, and the use of this MiG-31 by the Republic is at most more than 10 years or close to 15 years of service life, and I really don't see any need to purchase new aircraft.
The Navy doesn't really have anything to resist about these second-hand aircraft: "This makes sense, the MiG Design Bureau has sold this aircraft to us before, and also provided us with two for testing, but last year we finally broke down, as if we heard that just two months ago this aircraft was discontinued." Now if we say that we have collected second-hand MiG-31s from the former Soviet republics, it is strange that the MiGs have to jump up and scold their mothers. ā
I didn't expect that there are so many grievances and entanglements here, and it is true that the republic at this time wants to run to collect a batch of MiG-31s and come back, and the MiG side will definitely explode, but even if this MiG Design Bureau is fried, it doesn't make much sense, and then you still have to honestly listen to people's mercy.
At this time, the MiG design bureau was indeed quite down, the main MiG-29 was smashed in the Soviet Union, and the overseas countries that need to use the MiG-31 cannot find a second one except the republic, and other MiG-1.42 and the like are almost even more in the mirror.
In the face of this deplorable situation, the Republic can say that it needs the MiG side to accompany and upgrade the second-hand MiG-31, and the MiG Design Bureau must not immediately grasp this last straw, which can be regarded as a mix of food and clothing, at least there is still a project that needs to use the MiG.
Although he didn't think about purchasing a new MiG-31 at the beginning, Yang Hui was still more emotional and surprised when he heard the news that the aircraft was discontinued.
"The MiG-31 has been discontinued? This is a great thing, when the time comes, we can completely under the guise of cooperating with the MiG Design Bureau, let them cooperate to complete the upgrade, life extension, and then we can directly say that we need to purchase a major repair line, at this time, through the relationship of the MiG Design Bureau, we can pull back most of the discontinued MiG 31 production line, and it is definitely possible to make up a major repair line, which should not cost a few dollars. ā
If it is only a short shutdown for about a year, it is actually possible to restart the production line at a lower cost, because at this time the workers can still be contacted, the production equipment can also be pulled out to continue to use, and the supporting suppliers can probably be mobilized quickly.
At this time, everyone's basic ability is actually still there, but this production line has become completely gone in the official statement, and the attention is almost negligible, as long as there is a heart, there is absolutely no problem in replacing a major repair line on the basis of this production line, and this cost is also the least.
Commander Zhang was very satisfied with Yang Hui's idea, anyway, he was ready to start the development of the fourth generation of heavy warfare, and it would not take many years for these MiG-31s to perform the mission, which was almost a transitional product, and second-hand goods were also acceptable.
"I have a lot of ideas, when the time comes, I will put forward this idea and discuss it carefully, if it is feasible, it can be regarded as saving money, and there is no more model for doing big things with little money, as for the problem of the production line, we have no such plan, and now it seems that it is not very useful."
