Blame the Air Force? The targets proposed by the Air Force are too advanced?

Some people in later generations analyzed it in this way, saying that the development strategy of the Air Force has always been good at high and far-sighted, with high vision and low skills, and great ambition and lack of talent. For a long time, they have not figured out their own direction and strategy, and the direction of development is uncertain, and it seems that they have lofty aspirations, but in fact they are unrealistic, they do not respect the basic laws of the development of things, and they always mention something that is too advanced in the development of fighters, and as a result, they want to be quick but not reach.

Then it was concluded that if the development of the J-9 can be active and prudent, pragmatic, down-to-earth, and move forward step by step, the J-9 may not be aborted.

To say this, of course, is hindsight, putting all the blame on the decision-makers of the time, without noticing the urgency of the times.

Fighting with the West, with the Soviet Union, and the domestic environmental situation is so bad, what should the Air Force do? Based on the domestic level, put forward some indicators that are not painful?

In that case, the fighter can be developed, but what about the result? What's the use of not meeting real needs at all? The Air Force is not a research and development unit, but a user unit, and of course it has to make requirements according to its own needs.

Those requirements are what the Air Force needs, and what the Air Force wants. They are from their own point of view and there is nothing wrong with them.

If you want to blame, blame that era.

Now, the J-9 project, this aircraft is gone, which makes Qin Feng's heart very uncomfortable, he wants to cry, but he can't cry, and then look at the researchers present, their expressions are so strange, he knows that the mood of these people present is the same as himself.

"The last time I went abroad, I saw the structure of the Mirage 2000, so I drew it from memory." Qin Feng said: "I asked Elder Tu to hand it over." ”

Song Lao nodded: "Yes, that structure diagram has given us a lot of inspiration, Comrade Qin Feng, thank you." Although our project is gone, we still retain the research results, and when the time is right, we will still have hope. ”

Song Lao is still full of confidence, and he will not fail lightly in his life!

Song Lao knew that relying on the J-8 project of the 601 Institute, it would not be able to meet the future needs of the motherland, and there would definitely be new fighter needs.

As for the J-13 fighter of the 611 Institute, the original idea was wrong!

Thinking of this, he plucked up his confidence again.

"Old Song, are we turning to the J-7III now?" Qin Feng asked softly.

This aircraft, Qin Feng is familiar with, is the mapping imitation MiG-21MF, but later, Song Lao and Tu Lao had a serious conflict, Song Lao wanted to eat it completely, Tu Lao wanted to complete it as soon as possible, according to the cat and the tiger, Qin Feng also heard the dispute between the two with his own ears.

Now, what's going on?

Qin Feng was also more concerned about this matter.

Hearing Qin Feng's question, Song Lao nodded: "That's right, the superior completely handed over the surveying and mapping design task of the MiG-21MF to us." ”

The superiors have already sentenced the J-9 to death, and the 611 Institute led by Song Lao originally existed for the J-9 project, and after the J-9 failed, there was no project and nothing to do.

At the same time, Tu Lao kept spitting bitterness on the side, Tu Lao is now busy introducing Marconi's avionics, this project involves a lot of his energy, negotiating with foreigners, there can be no negligence, the slightest mistake will fall into the trap.

He is very busy, and at the same time there is a production problem of J-7II fighters, it is said that the recent batch of production has quality problems, and the factory is paying close attention to quality management, so Tu Lao is going to be busy to death.

In this case, Tu Lao really did not have the ability to continue to undertake the task of the MiG-21MF, and it happened that Song Lao was free here, so the superiors completely handed over the task of surveying and mapping to the 611 Institute.

Qin Feng heard it very clearly.

This project is in the hands of Song Lao, and it seems that Song Lao can come according to his own ideas, but the task of the superior is still surveying and mapping design, rather than completely understanding the technology.

Since only prototypes can be introduced, the trial production process of the J-7III is completely different from the J-7 when the manufacturing license was introduced, and the design of drawings has become the first step in the development of the J-7III.

The Air Force put forward the urgent need for a new aircraft to be modernized, so the development of the J-7III must race against time and speed, and it is required to completely map and map in accordance with the MiG-21МF, and first copy the aircraft as soon as possible.

In this way, after repeated consultations, the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry finally decided to adjust the design principles of the J-7III to surveying and mapping design, and then the Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute began intensive surveying and mapping preparations.

Now, Song Lao is coordinating this matter and holding a pre-surveying meeting.

At this time, Qin Feng came.

"After this project assignment, everyone knows their tasks, right?" Song Lao asked.

"Yes."

"Let's complete all the mapping tasks of this aircraft in a month, by the end of this year at the latest, no problem, right?"

Hearing Song Lao's question, Qin Feng was stunned again, so fast?

This MiG-21MF has been in Tu Lao's place for several months, and there has been no progress, but here in Song Lao, it is required to complete all the surveying and mapping tasks in a month?

Song Lao is resolute.

"No problem." The crowd replied in unison.

"Okay, adjourn the meeting, let's do it immediately." Song Lao said.

Qin Feng looked at Song Lao and said, "Song Lao, this plane is out, let me fly." ”

"That's natural, when the time comes, I'm afraid that you are fragrant buns, or you will come." Old Song had a smile on his face.

In more than a month, the plane can be surveyed and mapped, and what next?

Song Lao had already made up his mind that he had to go through the entire process.

This is a national key project, and up to now, my design team has not gone through a complete process.

This J-7III has become an aircraft that must be carefully trained, and it must be designed in accordance with the new aircraft a little bit, if you don't take it seriously, you will know plagiarism inexplicably, and once the plane goes wrong, it can only be pushed to the head of the original designer, the Russians, or the pilot brutally manipulated the head and there is no other way.

He is very firm, he thinks that his line is right, and his superiors have also changed, surveying and mapping design, you must have your own design.

This time, Song Lao won, and Song Lao used this hard-won project to train his team, but no one present at this time knew that this result was also tragic.

This is a key project of the state, and the country originally planned to equip thousands of planes, but as a result, when the plane came out, it was actually not needed, and finally there was an order for 30 planes, which was because of the one-time purchase of materials and equipment for 30 planes, and the country was not good at wasting, so it had to accept this batch.

The experience of frustration is embarrassing.
