"Your goal this time is to aim at the level of the European United Fighter, but how are you technically prepared to do this, and now Europe claims that the United Fighter is the level of the fourth-generation fighter, to achieve such a technical level, how can the technical capabilities of Southwest Science and Industry be done?"

This kind of rather braggadocio words, even a more optimistic about the southwest science and industry of the navy are a little dissatisfied, for the southwest science and industry this want to provide the army with excellent fighter mood must be understood, but sometimes we still have to do what we can. This is the most intuitive feeling and experience of the Navy in recent years, and based on this starting point of doing what it can, the development of naval equipment has always been carried out in small steps, and it has indeed achieved very good results until now.

In the eyes of Commander Liu, Southwest Science and Industry is a very good, very pragmatic unit, and now it is still developing rapidly, perhaps it is too fast in these years, so that the spirit of Southwest Science and Industry is excellent and impetuous, as the largest user of equipment developed by Southwest Science and Industry, it is necessary for the Navy to remind it.

"It's definitely good to have a long-term vision, but you don't have to look too far, now we still need to conform to the current actual situation of our country, and it is obviously not enough for the new fighter to reach the level of European joint fighters. According to the technical indicators that we have proposed earlier, plus the two supplementary indicators that you have proposed this time, this is enough. ”

The words sound a little too conservative, but these words also speak the heart of the review team, for the high indicators suddenly put forward by the Southwest Science and Industry, even the Air Force, which has always been a good lofty slogan, is a little unbearable, and the Air Force spoke a rare euphemism.

Ahem: "The European Joint Fighter is a fighter that focuses on air superiority and is supplemented by ground fighting, which is very different from our new combat positioning. It doesn't seem so easy to compare two fighters, but then again, even if you develop a fighter of the European United Fighter level, the cost will remain high, which will be a big obstacle to our military's procurement, so we don't need that one-sided pursuit of high indicators. It's about absolutely meeting the needs. ”

I can hear the Air Force say this, Yang Hui has said that my outlook on life needs to be reshaped, the Air Force said that the development of fighters according to the needs of the down-to-earth needs, rather than the air force on the snake and stick to raise the indicators of this new J again, Yang Hui said that he is a little uncomfortable. After a long buffer, seeing that Chief Li didn't want to speak, Yang Hui was finally ready to go into battle in person, and he hadn't been a lobbyist again for a long time, and Yang Hui still had a feeling of eagerness.

"We're talking about targeting the United Eurofighter class. It is not that it will reach the final technical level as soon as it comes up, but it has prepared a very feasible continuous upgrade route, through the design of a good platform, reserving enough space for subsequent upgrades, and then continuously improving the production type by running in small steps, so as to achieve the final advanced combat attack aircraft design. ”

Yang Hui also did not want to achieve the level of the third-generation and a half fighter in one step, not to mention anything else, just the problem of engine thrust limited the initial model Southwest Science and Industry Program could not have much excellent air combat thrust-to-weight ratio. This is also a point that Chief Li clearly explained at the previous speech.

Now that Yang Hui has reiterated this point again, the review team has a deeper understanding of the continuous upgrading and development plan mentioned in the previous Southwest Science and Industry Plan. This project is obviously a "fishing project" of Southwest Science and Industry, as long as the army falls into the pit of Southwest Science and Industry, the follow-up upgrade and improvement plan can not be stopped, not only to increase the thrust of the turbofan 12 engine, but also to continue to invest in the hardware of the fighter, which Southwest Science and Industry is simply looking for a long-term meal ticket!

"Running in small steps in a row? I didn't expect that the southwest science and industry plan you talked about yesterday is not the final complete body. At the time, I thought you were talking about the plan that came up in the report and the final technical framework has not yet been completed, but I didn't expect you to have a clearer goal plan, so it seems that you are quite ambitious, and our army will support it no matter what. Of course, only if your plan can defeat the other units this time. At that time, we must have issued a long-term meal ticket to Southwest Science and Industry. ”

Commander Liu said very interestingly, Yang Hui listened to it more satisfied, what he wants is the attitude of the army, as long as there is the affirmation of the army, Yang Hui can be more confident in the future of the southwest science and industry program, but now we must first put forward some prerequisites.

After sitting down, Yang Hui also entered the stage of gossip, and said a little more easily: "Although the new Jelf is ready to run in small steps, it will continue to improve the production model to meet the final technical requirements." But our improvement only means that the software, engines, weapon systems, etc., our most important body shape must not do major surgery, we must now achieve the same level as the European United Fighter in the design, local stealth treatment is very necessary. ”

"Local stealth processing? What does this mean, is it to make the plane invisible? I've heard that the European United fighter has a low detectability index, I wonder what this has to do with the stealth performance you are talking about? ”

It is worthy of being the director of the Science and Technology Commission in charge of the defense industry of the entire republic, and he is definitely quite good in terms of intelligence information, Yang Hui's words have just fallen, and low detectability indicators can be associated here, and these two statements are indeed similar.

For this speculation, Yang Hui did not object at all: "It can indeed be said that stealth and low detectability can be equated in a large way, both refer to the reduction of the radar reflection cross-section of the fighter through certain technical processing, and most of the modern air combat relies on radar for situational perception, reducing the radar cross-sectional area can naturally achieve so that the enemy can not detect us in a timely and effective manner, in the race against time in modern warfare, time is victory, time is everything." ”

What Yang Hui said was already quite simple and concise, but Rao was so, the review team still digested it for a long time before they understood what Yang Hui said, and when they figured it out, the army couldn't sit still. Destiny of technological progress, as a hollowing out the Republic of China army that wants to overtake in a corner, I say that I like this kind of thing the most.

"By reducing the radar cross-section of the fighter, it is indeed interesting to let the enemy's radar shorten the detection range of our side, but you also said that this is the most useful technology in air combat, so it seems that it is not very relevant to the main combat mission of our new J-J."

Before the Air Force finished speaking, Director Zhang of the Navy on this side immediately stood up, and Director Zhang was the first to refuse to accept this statement of the Air Force.

"That's not right, just last November, the United States announced a fighter in the previous high secrecy, this fighter is called F-117, according to the published information, this is a typical stealth attack aircraft design, this is a kind of leather. The design of the life. Now that the F-117 has proven the need for stealth technology for attack aircraft, why should we resist the low-detectability design of the new J-J with exploratory testing in mind? ”

Director Zhang's remarks are a bit too much, and the Air Force has not said that it contradicts the requirements for the detectability of the new destroyer, and this is already suspected of provoking contradictions between the branches of the armed forces. But at this critical moment, what Director Zhang said doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that the United States has already put into service a stealth fighter just mentioned

Looking at the Air Force, the Science and Technology Commission, and even the Navy Commander Liu were all surprised to close their mouths, Yang Hui knew that this would be the result, on November 10, 88, the Americans released the photos of the F-117, and it was only three months from now, Yang Hui even knew that in two more months, the US Air Force would directly make the real aircraft public at the air base, but so what!

"The United States has indeed put into service a stealth fighter, although it is only an attack aircraft used by the US Air Force to penetrate and strike targets in the Soviet Union, but the existence of this aircraft also has to make us think: since the attack aircraft can be stealth, then our combat attack aircraft also have a need for stealth. Maybe we won't be able to achieve the same changes as the F-117. state effect, but we also have to achieve as low detectability as possible, not only because our new J also needs to go deep into the enemy's hinterland to attack, but also because our new J has developed to the end of the complete body is both air and ground, so we must have a certain stealth ability. ”

Speaking, Yang Hui put forward all the designs used in the Southwest Science and Industry Scheme for stealth considerations: "In order to achieve the low detectability scheme of the new J, we used the DSI inlet that can better shield the engine fan blades, and used the camber double vertical tail, which was used" (To be continued.) )
