Chapter 977: Buy, Buy, Buy

For the engine used in No. 10, in fact, to say the AL-31FN engine, this is really good, at least in ten years is the best engine, but like the sudden increase in the order of 18 aircraft in the army of the Republic now, it is definitely necessary to purchase at least 20 engines, and this is a very embarrassing problem, it is okay to suddenly ask for an increase in the purchase of engines, obviously a special situation has occurred.

And Russia is not a fool, there has been friction between the two big hooligans with nuclear weapons in the world, and now one of them wants to run to purchase its own aircraft engine, and this engine is the only one that Russia can provide.

But fortunately, the 31fn engine used in this tenth has always been purchased by the state, as long as it is not AVIC Southwest to procure, then it doesn't matter how Russia wants a high price, as long as it is not AVIC Southwest who is negotiating, there will be problems in the future and it will not be blamed on AVIC Southwest, so the only thing needed now is to put forward the problem in advance by AVIC Southwest, and then wait for the engine to be purchased into the flight.

And what problems will there be about this engine procurement, in fact, it is not only the producer of No. 10 who knows, Vice Chairman Liu focuses on military modernization and reform, and probably can guess some, but now the problem of this engine does need to be solved urgently, this is not the time to feel sorry for money, and the money that should be spent is the same.

"Okay, you raised this question in a timely manner, after the meeting, the country will immediately contact the Russian side, and will ensure that the engine procurement is in place as soon as possible, but the aircraft production over there must not be slowed down, whether there is an engine or not, I will manufacture the aircraft and put it there, and as soon as the engine is in place, you will immediately install it for me to test."

For the No. 10 fighter over there, it is definitely the main force of the republic's air combat now, even a heavy fighter like the Su-27 is not very easy to use at this time, at least in the air friction near the entire ditch, the range requirements for the aircraft are not too high, and the single large-push medium-sized air superiority aircraft with excellent avionics performance is the most suitable for the No. 10.

Therefore, when preparing for war in China, the production of No. 10 must be the first thing that comes to mind, and since this time the air combat is taken as a key guarantee, then it is far from enough to have an air superiority fighter, and in the era of systematic operations, the air force is only equipped with a few air police 100 planes that are naturally not enough.

However, now it is good that the Air Police 100 early warning aircraft can all be localized, although it may be a little difficult to say that it is necessary to directly and suddenly burst out too much production capacity, but to say that it will definitely not exist if it is stuck in the neck, so after determining the procurement problem of the 10th, the procurement and construction of the Air Police 100 early warning aircraft that followed is naturally another issue to be discussed.

"Report, our Chang'an Aircraft Factory can provide up to 8 H-6 platforms for delivery to the Air Police 100 in the second half of the year, as long as the army needs it, our H-6 does not need any imported components, and all subsystem production can be quickly mobilized for production."

As the airframe platform of the air police 100, the current H-6 uses four single thrust 6 tons of non-afterburner turbofan 9 engine, and this thrust is really not weaker than the H-6K of later generations, so the performance of the entire aircraft has also been greatly improved, although the army did not purchase four rounds of H-6 as the Navy's missile-carrying aircraft, but the annual air tanker and the current AWACS orders add up to a lot, or can maintain the basic maintenance of the production line.

And after the positive indication of the airborne platform, what really restricts the production capacity of the Air Police 100 is only a complete set of airborne early warning/command system production capacity on the side of the Southwest Special Aircraft Company, so for these problems, the Southwest Special Aircraft Company is really a little unbearable.

The general manager of the sweaty Southwest Special Aircraft Company hurriedly wiped the sweat on his head and explained with some embarrassment: "The original annual production and modification capacity of the Southwest Special Aircraft Company was 6 air police 100 early warning aircraft, and now there is only less than half a year left, even if Chang'an Aircraft Factory can provide us with 8 H-6 platform aircraft for modification, we really can't do all the 8 early warning aircraft delivered in half a year, and at most we can strive to increase the production capacity of one in two months to one a month. In this way, we will only be able to deliver 5 aircraft at most by the end of the year. ”

The AWACS aircraft is different from other aircraft to be mass-produced, it is impossible to use a pulsating production line or something, this kind of specially modified aircraft is mostly manufactured by hand, and there are not many orders from the army of the Republic before, and the Southwest Special Aircraft Company can plan to produce more than 6 aircraft a year, so in the face of the current sudden demand for explosive production capacity, it can only be blind.

For the production capacity of the Air Police 100 early warning aircraft, although Yang Hui is also a little dissatisfied, but there is no way, the production and modification of special aircraft is not in a hurry to be able to explode on a large scale, and after roughly calculating in his heart, he understands that the Southwest Special Aircraft is doing its best.

"I'll also explain this problem, about the production capacity of the air police 100, this is really not false, for the modification of special aircraft, we are generally difficult to increase the speed in a short period of time, so 5 is indeed the largest production capacity at present, and please understand the military."

I can't tell if the military has listened to it, but the person in charge of the army's equipment procurement stood up at this time and stated the delivery and equipment of the Air Police 100 before, which can be regarded as a truthful answer.

"Let me first talk about the current Air Force service Air Police 100 early warning aircraft service, the current Air Force six Air Police 100 early warning aircraft are all stationed in Jinling, of which 4 are the first batch of delivery, the follow-up 2 is delivered in the first half of this year, combat capability is expected to be fully formed within this year, if there are 5 more Air Police 100 in service, the Air Force in the southeast coast of the air early warning command capability can be greatly strengthened."

The Air Force can serve five more Air Police 100 early warning planes, and it is indeed able to ensure good air early warning and command capabilities in the southeast of the entire Republic, but if the early warning planes are only used to guide the Air Force, at least for the time being, it is not very suitable, and in terms of the future combat environment on the other side of the ditch, it is impossible for the Air Force alone to provoke the main beam.

In addition, the big man who presided over the meeting at this time was also from the Navy, and when I thought that the Navy had repeatedly reported that it was required to equip the Air Police 100 early warning aircraft, then now is the right time, and perhaps the Navy can take the opportunity to equip the early warning aircraft, anyway, this early warning aircraft is also a special national appropriation.

"Since you can only guarantee the delivery of 5 early warning aircraft, then this time you will order 5 early warning aircraft, of which 3 will be delivered to the Navy and 2 to the Air Force. (To be continued.) )
