"Unless what?"

"Unless we change the J-8 to air intake on both sides, leave the nose free to install a large-caliber radar, and complete the guidance of our Thunderbolt-4 missiles, our J-8 will fly at an altitude of 20,000 meters and fire, and it may also knock down the enemy's 25,000-meter-high MiG-25 fighters."

In fact, the MiG-25 can not only fly to 25,000, but even 30,000 meters, but it does not fly so high all the time, there is always a time to climb and land, right?

The domestic aviation industry is backward, until now there is no suitable missile to match the fighter, although the J-7 has a matching Thunderbolt-2, the performance is too poor, almost not used, usually with a cannon, J-8 in the design, as a fighter dedicated to intercepting the Soviets, it must use missiles.

In the design, the J-8 was developed as an all-weather fighter, but unfortunately its power supply system and radar are now full of problems, so the fuselage can only be developed first, and it can only be used in the daytime version of the cannon.

Now, hearing Qin Feng say this, Mr. Gu knows that what Qin Feng has been obsessed with is to change the nose of the J-8, thinking that the current nose air intake is too backward.

However, the planned 204 radar can also guide the Thunderbolt-4 missile, after all, the range of the Thunderbolt-4 missile is only 18 kilometers, and the 50 km search range of the 204 radar is enough.

Now, General Lin is not in charge of military research and development, he is only in charge of territorial air defense, and here it is just a research, not a formal higher-level competent department, so Mr. Gu did not raise any objections.

General Lin nodded: "Yes, if there is an airborne radar and missiles, maybe there is hope, but I heard that our radar and missiles are difficult to develop." ”

The level of domestic scientific research is too backward, especially the electronic system has long been out of touch with the world, and we can't even handle a simple single-pulse radar.

"If we don't have this level at home, we can go abroad and import from abroad." Qin Feng followed the suggestion.

If it was a year ago, the door of the West was also closed, and everyone could only do research behind closed doors, but now it is different, the West has opened its door to itself, let's go out and see, if it is not at home, it can be imported from abroad.

"Britain, France, these countries have very advanced radars and missiles, we can buy them from abroad and install them on our fighters, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our fighters." Qin Feng said: "This is the most effective way to improve our combat effectiveness at present. ”

"Qin Feng, how do you speak? How much precious foreign exchange does it cost to import from abroad? Our older generation is self-reliant and hardworking, and this spirit cannot be lost. Hearing Qin Feng's suggestion, a leader of the test flight institute suddenly spoke.

"There is no conflict between introduction and self-development, and our introduction is also for better self-development." At this moment, General Lin opened his mouth to relieve Qin Feng, and as soon as he said this, the leaders of the test flight institute would not be able to accuse him anymore.

Qin Feng looked at General Lin gratefully, what he said just now was indeed too bold.

The introduction and self-development do not conflict, this assertion was made by General Lin, Qin Feng did not expect that a few years later, when there was an endless quarrel in China over the introduction of the Su-27 or the self-developed J-8, it was also a general who took the case and shouted loudly, the introduction and self-development do not conflict!

General Lin looked at Qin Feng with satisfied eyes and said, "Young man, your thinking is not ordinary agility, you can think about many questions that everyone dare not think about, you have come to the test flight institute for so many days, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Qin Feng looked at the other leaders of the test flight institute, and didn't know whether to say it or not, General Lin continued beside him: "We soldiers, just what to say, absolutely not twist and pinch, we pilots, we are not afraid of such a big risk in the sky, what else is there to fear?" ”

"General, I think there is a problem with our current training system for test pilots." Qin Feng finally said it, and as soon as he said this, everyone's faces changed color.

There is a problem with the system, who dares to say this sentence in normal times? That is to say, a newborn calf like Qin Feng is not afraid of tigers and does not know the danger.

"Tell me about it." General Lin continued to encourage.

"Yes." This matter has been held in Qin Feng's heart for a long time, and now in the face of General Lin, Qin Feng will not hide it.

"Our current test pilots are selected from ordinary pilots, and they can fly if they have excellent flying skills, but everyone's theoretical knowledge is not very sufficient."

The system that Qin Feng said was this, and everyone relaxed down, just now they were afraid that Qin Feng's words would be taboo.

Most of the test pilots now rely on their enthusiasm and the spirit of not being afraid of death to fly, and any failures that come out of the flight are handed over to the technicians to deal with.

Qin Feng has never been like this, which is why he can immediately excel.

After all, the pilots of the older generation can have a first Chinese, even if the country has trained college students, most of the physical conditions are not qualified. How to fly with glasses on the bridge of your nose?

And Qin Feng has proved this with his own example, test pilots, not only to be able to fly, but also to understand flying, but also to understand the principle, must have a sufficient technical level.

This is indeed a very serious question.

"So, I suggest that our Air Force can plan to set up a special school for test pilots to train talents who can fly and know how to fly?"

Set up a special school, learn to fly on the one hand, and learn theory on the other, so that you can become a technical test pilot, and at the same time you can prepare for an expert test pilot.

General Lin nodded: "That's right, that's right, I'll reflect it to my superiors, it's time for us to consider this." ”

"At the same time, our test pilots are also recommended to go abroad and learn from abroad, there are many famous test pilot colleges abroad, if you go there for a few years of further study, after coming back, you will definitely be able to become the pillar of the test pilot."

Qin Feng mentioned going abroad for the second time, in Qin Feng's heart, he was very much looking forward to going abroad to see, Western fighters are quite advanced, he can only understand on paper, if he can fly a Western fighter, it would be good.

It's about to enter the 80s, and are you still working behind closed doors? The last time he went out, Qin Feng also benefited a lot, an Egypt, there are also places that are more advanced than his own.

If you can go to a test pilot academy abroad for training, then the benefits will be even greater.
