The Mirage 2000 is a good choice, don't worry about political issues, although there are flaws in the avionics, after all, it can allow domestic fighters to quickly transition to the third generation aircraft.

However, one of its weaknesses is that it is too expensive, during this time, the country is also actively preparing, and even the high-level have visited France, hoping that France can reduce the price, but the arrogant French are determined and want to reduce the price, no way!

The negotiations came to a halt like this, and the Air Force's heart slowly cooled, and when they looked back, they found that the Jian-7M, which was about to be successfully developed, seemed to be not bad.

It is said that good horses don't eat back grass, but the Air Force has a lot of things to do with back grass. The J-7 was originally very concerned about replacing it with Western avionics, but then it didn't want it, and later, it also purchased a lot one after another.

There is another project, which is naturally the Flying Leopard, the Flying Leopard, a fighter jointly developed by the Navy and the Air Force, because it could not meet the requirements of the Air Force's parallel two-seater, the Air Force withdrew its investment and became a separate research and development project of the Navy.

Qin Feng didn't know these things, now in the test flight of the fighter, his news is very closed, he obeys the arrangement of his superiors, since he is allowed to entertain, then of course he will entertain.

This is just a prelude, according to the opinion of General Jamal of Pakistan, their planes must go to Pakistan for test flights and pass the acceptance of others before they can be imported.

Qin Feng stood at the gate of the test flight institute, welcoming the arrival of the Pakistani inspection team, of course, not only two test pilots, but also other personnel, a total of more than a dozen people, among them, the highest rank is a major general.

No way? There are quite a few of them! Qin Feng couldn't help but think in his heart, and at the same time, the old Tu beside Qin Feng also hurriedly greeted him.

"General Ajamal, welcome to our visit." Tu Lao said that he originally knew this general.

They are all personnel in the research and development of military aircraft, Tu Lao has met before, and he knows that this person is the head of the Pakistani joint enterprise.

The complex is a military-industrial department, which is under the leadership of the Ministry of Production, and is not a system with the Air Force. But the cadres in the enterprise are all air force officers, and the workers are soldiers.

And the person in front of him is equivalent to the status of the director of the domestic aviation bureau, and Tu Lao knew this major general officer before.

This joint enterprise, under which there are three factories, all of which are led by the brigadier future, and one of them is an overhaul plant of the Jian-6 with the aid of its own army.

Now, of course, no one knows that after General Jamal returned home, there was a discussion immediately after they returned, and for the Pakistan Air Force, they are now also facing a problem.

The J-6 fighters they are equipped with have gradually become old, and they have put forward various plans for the successor of the J-6. Among them, this J-7M, this fighter, has entered their sight, and at the same time, they have bigger ideas.

They want to strengthen their independence and build their own aviation industry, which with the help of China will be able to produce their own fighters. This is a major event concerning Pakistan's national honour and future.

So, this time, General Ajamal also came here to visit.

Qin Feng is proficient in English, and there is no obstacle to communication, and when everyone enters the conference room, Ajamal put forward an opinion for this negotiation.

"We want to visit your production site." General Ajamal said.

Production base? It's best to go to Chengdu, but it's too much of a toss-up, right? After Tu Lao heard the other party's request, he had an idea and said, "Then you can go to our 172 factory to have a look." ”

Factory 172, that is, the Xi'an Aircraft Factory, is the closest, and at the same time, the latest domestic fighter-bombers are also being developed here, which can also be introduced to them.

The J-7 is a key and confidential project in China, but in front of the Pakistani brothers, there is no secret, and the J-8 with a higher level of secrecy can be visited by General Jamal, let alone this bomber project.

Moreover, if they take a fancy to it, they can also export it, and now, the research and development of the J-7 is also constantly stumbling and stumbling, and it is difficult.

Hearing Tu Lao's words, even Qin Feng was full of interest, don't look at Qin Feng flying for so long, Shenyang, Chengdu, Xi'an back and forth, just haven't been to Factory 172, of course Qin Feng has heard about the project they are unfolding.

J-7 is also an urgently needed project in China.

At the beginning of 1974, a war broke out in the South China Sea, and although the navy won the war by fighting bayonets, it also exposed the lack of air support from the air force.

The fighter basically has no ability to attack the sea, and the H-5 has a short range and is too old to bear the heavy responsibility. The speed of the H-6 is also too slow, and the supersonic Qiang-5 has too short a range and a bomb load of only 2,000 kilograms.

In this way, both the Air Force and the Navy are eager to have new aircraft with both fighter and bomber performance. It's like the Soviet Su-24, the American F111.

In order to reduce the cost of research and development, the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense determined the tactical and technical requirements for the new fighter-bomber in accordance with the requirements of the Navy and Air Force, and immediately required the three aircraft departments to use one model and equip them with the same type of weapons and airborne equipment to meet the needs of the Navy and Air Force. In the plan, the new fighters and bombers of the navy and air force are basically the same in terms of technical performance, except for the differences in weapons and equipment used in combat.

However, this research, like the fighter plane, has also experienced ups and downs and has repeatedly faced the fate of dismounting.

After several years of argumentation, in 1980, the higher authorities approved the design principles of "one aircraft, two types" and "serial seats first", and the Air Force did not want it, and the Navy invested alone.

Subsequently, the national economy was adjusted, the development of new aircraft funds was reduced, and the development progress of the H-7 slowed down.

As a result, the Battle of the Falklands broke out, and the Argentine Super Flag attack aircraft launched the AM39 "Exocet" missile to destroy the destroyer "Sheffield" of the British Royal Navy, which surprised everyone to see the strong combat effectiveness of the Ministry of Aviation, so the J-7 was launched again.

By now, he has completed the construction of a wooden prototype, entered the stage of detailed design, and in two more years, he will be able to build a prototype and make its first flight.

In particular, this year, the state has allocated special funds to update the production and manufacturing equipment of the 603 Institute to ensure the normal production and development progress of the aircraft.

The research and development of this aircraft will not encounter too many problems, because it uses a mature and reliable Spey engine, which is also a reason why this project can finally go down, and now, Qin Feng finally has time to take a look.
