Taking the opportunity to go to the toilet, he also hurriedly recruited the secretary on the side: "Let me tell you, Vice Chairman Liu and the two commanders just said that they also want to see the flight test of the Air Police 100, didn't it happen that a few days ago the Air Police 100 platoon was completed, and a new round of tests was also prepared?" You can go over and see Deputy Chief Engineer Nie over there now, and ask him if he can arrange for the test in the next few days. ”

Of course, the secretary also knew that it was not easy to get so many military bigwigs together this time, and it would be really a pity if he couldn't perform well, and Yang Hui's words would be added later.

"That's it, Mr. Yang, don't you see that our entire aviation industrial park has settled in a lot of units, is it also possible to choose a few representative units, and it is best to take several leaders to take a look at this time, and we are not far from Pingba here, and you can also take it over to see the production line of United Aero Engine Company when you have time, which is of great benefit to the head office."

Not to mention, this plan just came out so that Yang Hui had an idea, which seems to be really feasible, take the leadership to see the transformation and development of the third-line military units, and look at the new look of the development and reform of the aviation industry in the new era.

Thinking that his secretary is really making rapid progress, it is of course good to have such an idea, and he can be entrusted with more important tasks in the future: "Yes, the idea is feasible, you immediately go down to various units to find out the bottom and make arrangements, and we must be able to show the achievements of our reform and development over the years." ”

Watching the secretary turn around and leave, Yang Hui then walked into the living room, and just heard the army talking about the new generation of medium-range air-to-air missile projects, which made people interested, is it to prepare for the development of a new generation of medium-range missiles, do you think that the Thunderbolt 11 has fallen behind?

To tell the truth, Yang Hui of course also knows that this plane is under his own influence, and after the introduction of the seeker and rocket engine of the British-made Sky Flash medium-range missile in the mid-80s, and with the design of the body of the Hongqi 61 missile, the Thunderbolt 11 can still be regarded as the third-generation medium-range air-to-air missile of the international mainstream after it is finalized, and it has indeed been several years since it was equipped with the troops, but this thing is also facing a situation that is about to lag behind the international advanced level in the 90s.

The Thunderbolt-11 can be counted on the same level as the AIM-7E, Aspide, Sky Flash, and R-27, but compared with the AIM-120 and R-77 missiles that began to develop between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 80s and entered service in the early 90s, it is indeed a generation behind.

"Oh! Is the country going to develop the next generation of medium-range air-to-air missiles? This is a good thing, if there can be more advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, even if our J-18 fighter maneuverability is relatively weak, but with excellent medium-range bombs, it can greatly increase the air combat capability of J-18, and we are also equipped with a helmet sight under development in Hongdu, if there is a close-range combat bomb comparable to R-73, it is really perfect. ”

This is not Yang Hui's thoughts, while having an advanced medium-range bomb, of course, it also needs to have an advanced close-range combat bullet, which is a must.

But obviously this time it is too good, and it is true that the military is willing to grit its teeth and promote the development of a new generation of medium-range air-to-air missiles, but this does not mean that there are really resources to support the simultaneous development of a new generation of close-range combat missiles, which is obviously unrealistic.

Commander Zhang of the Navy replied with a smile: "It is right to develop a new generation of medium-range air-to-air missiles, but this does not mean that we must continue to promote the development of a new generation of close-range combat missiles, along with the Su-27 introduced to the country there is also the R-73 fighting missile (R-77 medium-range bomb was in service in 94 years, it is impossible to install the first batch of imported Su-27), this combat bomb is already the most advanced level in the world, we don't have to worry in this regard, plus there are PL-8 missiles introduced from Israel, It's also a pretty good fighting bullet, and although it's a bit behind, it's still a bit of a stretch that can last a few more years. ”

I didn't expect the army to think like this, so since this is the case, of course, I can't say anything, anyway, the current PL-8 combat ammunition is quite good in the combat environment around the republic, and the combat ammunition used by the air forces of the entire East Asian countries has not exceeded this level, and everyone is at the same level.

After sitting down, I listened to the military continue to talk about the selection of a new generation of medium-range air-to-air missiles one after another, and soon understood the general situation: This project is mainly a competition between two units, and the general situation is quite simple.

One of them is the 8th Courtyard of the Demon City, which developed and produced Thunderbolt 11 before, and for this unit, Yang Hui roughly remembers some of the situations they had in the previous meeting.

The new generation of medium-range air-to-air missiles (Thunderbolt 12) has begun in the mid-nineties, and the 8th Academy of Magic Capital at that time has not been able to make the Thunderbolt 11 profitable, after all, the last time China decided to introduce the first batch of Aspide missile seekers and localize the assembly of the Thunderbolt 11, it was already the beginning of 8.9, due to some well-known reasons, at the end of the same year, the Italian side notified the Chinese side, indicating that the technical cooperation between the two sides was suspended.

Therefore, throughout the later 90s, the 8th Academy of the Magic Capital kept trying to find ways to localize and improve the Thunderbolt-11 missile, and it was not until 2000 that the Republic really completed the development of medium-range air-to-air missiles, and at this time, the Thunderbolt-12 was about to finalize the equipment troops, so the Thunderbolt-11 was defeated too late in its birth, and it was really finalized that it was backward.

Similarly, just like the previous Thunderbolt-11 air-to-air missile, the ground-to-air missile Hongqi 64, developed using Thunderbolt 11 technology, was also defeated too late, and in the face of the domestic competitor Hongqi 7B ground-to-air missile, it can probably only be equipped with a small amount of air force units for use as a key ground air defense (low-altitude) use, as for field air defense, of course, it is impossible to interfere, so the entire Hongqi 6 surface-to-air missile family is a slow step, and it will be difficult to have a chance to turn over in the future.

But now there has been a change in this plane, because it was officially introduced in 85 years in advance of the British Sky Flash Missile seeker and engine technology, and Marconi technicians participated in the adaptation of the seeker and the Hongqi 61 missile body, so the later technology transfer and localization progress are relatively fast, and the Thunderbolt 11 has completed the comprehensive localization project before 90 years.

Therefore, the Eighth Academy of the Magic Capital of this plane was successfully turned over, and when it just got the seeker and engine technology of the sky flash, and started the Thunderbolt 11 project, it began the magic transformation journey on the basis of the Hongqi 61 surface-to-air missile, and according to the previous face, the last thing to get was the Hongqi 64 surface-to-air missile, but this Thunderbolt 11 changed to a surface-to-air missile and a ship-to-air missile, and it embarked on another road, and this road was even more surprising.
