Later, there was also a saying that the J-7C was actually the J-7 3 made by Song Lao, and finally became this number.

And now, the J-7 CP proposed by Tu Lao is different from the later J-7C.

Now, the J-7 has several other models, such as Type A, Type B and Type D, and there is a Type C in the middle that is not used, at the same time, this C is also the first letter of the English word China, representing China, P, representing Pakistan, so that CP can represent Sino-Pakistani cooperation.

Even, if for various reasons, Pakistan stops doing it in the end, then it will do it alone, remove the P in the back, and it will become a C type.

Although it is just a name, however, if the name is not correct, it is not good, look at the current Xinji, and also gave the official name of Project No. 10, so that there is a name.

Now, Tu Lao's statement has been unanimously agreed by everyone, and the foreign trade machine can be decided without reporting to the superiors, and at the same time, this plan is of great significance.

If this project can be carried out, then its own fighters will be reborn and truly have the strength to confront the third-generation aircraft.

"Even if it's just our factory smashing pots and selling iron, we have to do it!" Tu Lao said seriously.

Many people can only make one model in their lifetime, and now Tu Lao has set up a lofty ambition and must make it!

Tu Lao has this determination.

"Tu Lao, I support you!" Qin Feng also said excitedly on the side.

At this time, the night outside was already dark, in the conference room, in front of the lights, everyone's discussion was going on enthusiastically, and everyone's heart was warm.

Tu Lao did not break his promise, and in the later stage, sure enough, the Pakistani side withdrew its investment, and the other party was no longer interested in this project, codenamed Sabre 2, but Tu Lao continued to promote this plan step by step, and after it was developed, Pakistan was impressed again, and there was follow-up cooperation, and there was a real rebirth of Xiaolong!

"Old Tu, I have an idea." Just as the meeting was about to end, Qin Feng suddenly spoke again.

"Say." Tu Lao values Qin Feng very much, he is not only a test pilot, but also a forward-looking engineer-level test pilot, and many of the opinions he put forward are quite representative.

Now, what is he going to say?

"Tu Lao, we know that the domestic military spending is quite tight now." Qin Feng said: "If we want to really develop a new project, we will inevitably encounter many problems, if there is the support of the army, it is the best, but I think the air force will not support it." ”

General Jamal left first, just to negotiate with the military, hoping to establish a relationship at the government level, but Qin Feng knew that this was very difficult.

It would be best if the Air Force could be interested and invest together, but the problem now is that the Air Force can't come up with that much money.

What does the Air Force need?

First, it is able to intercept Tu-95, Tu-22M bombers and other specialized interceptors, now, this task can be undertaken by J-8, when J-8 is changed to air intake on both sides, theoretically has this ability, of course, under the current situation in China, further efforts are needed.

Second, it is a real third-generation aircraft capable of seizing future air supremacy, and after countless meetings, the Air Force has now selected the project of Song Lao, which adopts a canard layout, which is a trend of future development.

The Air Force has invested money to engage in such two projects, which is already overstretched, and at this time, let the Air Force invest in a project of the J-7 overhaul?

It's hard to estimate.

For the Air Force, such a change as the Jian-7 is completely repetitive, and the interception capability is duplicated with the Jian-8, and the seizure of air supremacy is duplicated with the No. 10 Project.

And although Tu Lao has already said that he will smash the pot and sell iron, but the support of the army, after all, is very important, look at his own Jian-7M, because the army does not support it, how many twists and turns have been experienced in the middle! was even criticized for becoming one of the three major Yanmars, so now that Qin Feng said this, everyone paid attention.

If the Air Force does not support it, and only cooperates with Pakistan, if Pakistan does not do it, can it promote this project?

"Go on." Tu Lao said to Qin Feng that he knew that since Qin Feng had put forward this opinion, he must have already thought of a plan to deal with it.

"Yes, Tu Lao, I think we can sell to the navy, I think, the navy also has this demand, especially this big voyage, it is too useful for the navy!" Qin Feng said.

Navy!

Even in the past National Day parade, the great leader has solemnly announced to the world that he will disarm one million, and China still has the largest number of army forces in the world, with millions of troops.

The army occupies a large amount of funds, and then the air force, and after the air force's funds, the rest is the navy, and in the hands of the navy, there is not much.

And the navy is precisely another branch of the military that burns money, and the warships of the navy will burn a lot of them when they go around, even if it is heavy oil. It would be nice if the Navy could maintain its current size, and the Navy will definitely not be able to support new projects.

But at the same time, there is a strong need for the Navy.

The motherland has a long coastline and also has a lot of naval aviation, after all, warships are slow, and naval aviation can quickly rush to the airspace over the needed sea area.

However, like the Air Force, the main force of naval aviation is now equipped with the Jian-5 and Jian-6 aircraft, which have a small fuel load and a high fuel consumption rate, so the range is very short and can only meet the needs of the near sea.

The Navy desperately needs aircraft with a long range!

Therefore, no matter how much the Air Force dislikes it, it finally gave up the J-7 project, but the Navy still uses its own meager funds to promote the continuation of the J-7 project, a very important reason is that the J-7 uses Spey engines, which have low fuel consumption and long range.

The combat radius of this kind of aircraft is more than 1,600 kilometers, which is almost close to the extreme range of the current fighters, and the transit range has reached more than 3,000 kilometers, which is the best choice for the navy.

However, this kind of aircraft, which is currently being developed, still has many shortcomings, this is only a fighter-bomber, which has only limited air combat capabilities, and its biggest role is to fly over and throw anti-ship missiles, and if it encounters enemy fighters, it can only retreat. Navy, need a fighter with a long endurance!

Your own Jian-7 CP is simply tailor-made for the navy!
