The development of carrier-based aircraft needs to be carried out earlier than aircraft carriers, and for a country that does not have aircraft carriers, it must be so.

Take the Soviet Union as an example, although they did not have the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier that took off by sliding jump until the end of the eighties, and they had a regular decent aircraft carrier, but their road to exploring aircraft carriers was also very rugged, as early as 20 years ago, they had begun to plan to improve carrier-based aircraft on the basis of the MiG-23, that's right, if it weren't for all kinds of mistakes, the MiG-23 would definitely be their first carrier-based aircraft, this kind of variable-swept wing aircraft, born with excellent take-off and landing characteristics, It's very suitable for aircraft carriers to get on board.

Although the carrier-based aircraft of the MiG-23 did not appear later, the supporting technology has always been in reserve.

Domestically, the same is true.

The Navy, since the sixties, has been looking forward to aircraft carriers.

The aircraft carrier itself has to overcome many problems, such as high-strength steel plates, such as a power system with higher power, etc., but compared with the aircraft carrier, the carrier-based aircraft is more difficult, and the aircraft carrier without the carrier-based aircraft has no combat effectiveness.

The Navy is looking forward to aircraft carriers, although it cannot be built yet, but there are still technical reserves.

From the current point of view, the J-5 and J-6 must have fallen behind, and if the Navy wants to have its own carrier-based aircraft, it must be selected from the J-7 and J-8.

Who is the right choice?

It must be the J-7, after all, the J-8 is a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor, and it is an aircraft in China in order to deal with the threat from the north.

Now, when he heard the Navy talk about carrier-based aircraft, Qin Feng was of course interested, and he now said that it was more suitable for the ship.

And now, hearing Qin Feng say this, the people present are also a little strange, this is more, it must mean that there are objects that can be compared, does Qin Feng know that Jian-8 also has an improved idea of carrier-based aircraft?

Qin Feng didn't know that the J-8 also had to improve the carrier-based aircraft, but now, he just said according to his own ideas, since the J-7 is going to be changed, then the J-8 must also have this idea, right?

In fact, not only the J-8, but even the J-13, which has been eliminated, was considered in terms of carrier-based aircraft when it was originally designed.

"Our J-7 is light, generally speaking, it is a heavy aircraft with a better cost-effectiveness ratio, and, looking at Western equipment, the navy needs twin-engine fighters, because it is more secure, but now, in our equipment sequence, J-7 is the best."

Qin Feng had already continued to talk endlessly, and even the old Tu on the side showed admiration, Qin Feng knew too much!

"For the aircraft carrier formation, the first need is to seize air supremacy, the need to conduct air combat, no matter how advanced the radar missile is, close combat is indispensable, and our aircraft, after modification, in close combat, is almost comparable to F-16."

Before the transformation, it was already able to reach 80% performance, and after the transformation, of course, it can go hand in hand.

The aircraft carrier formation must be far away from its own land-based fighters, and at sea, it will completely rely on its own carrier-based aircraft to conduct air defense operations, so the mobility of the carrier-based aircraft will be of paramount importance.

Don't look at the J-8 is a twin engine, but the body is so long, the maneuverability is very poor, and the roll is even more at the bottom, and its high-altitude and high-speed foundation can never be changed.

It's different.

Its own Jian-7 was born for air combat, and after some improvements, according to the requirements of the Pakistani side, it is to be able to achieve the mobility of the F-16.

This is crucial until the breakthrough of the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower is achieved, and the Battle of the Falklands has shown that enemy fighters carrying anti-ship missiles have become the most common means of attack, and when the time comes, what will be relied on to intercept them? Of course, it's your own carrier-based aircraft!

Now, it is necessary to convince the Navy comrades that this aircraft is the best choice for changing to a carrier-based aircraft, so that they can support the greatest force and allow the project to continue.

In short, the more supporters, the easier it is to succeed!

What else could explain that? Qin Feng's mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, didn't we also buy a Melbourne number? You can simply use this aircraft carrier to practice! ”

Tu Lao was in his heart, and finally couldn't help but admire, married a daughter-in-law from the Northeast, sure enough, this fool's ability is growing!

Qin Feng's associative ability was too strong, he actually thought of this aircraft carrier purchased by the shipbreaking company!

The Melbourne, which has a very good history, was originally a British giant-class aircraft carrier, built in World War II, but as a result, World War II ended before it was completed.

After this war, the empire of the sun never set had completely declined, and could no longer afford to raise a huge fleet all over the world, so the aircraft carrier was sold, and for several years, finally there was a buyer, and the Australian Navy bought it.

However, the technology of the aircraft carrier developed rapidly, and after Australia bought it, it did not drive away immediately, but continued to renovate on the slipway, installing catapults, arresting cables, beveled decks, landing scopes, etc., and immediately became the flagship of the Australian Navy after delivery.

However, this did not become their pride, but became a scourge, and since its service, it has become a bumper ship, which has collided with many warships and cargo ships, and even caused some casualties.

This made the Australian Navy miserable, but what made them sad the most was that in the Battle of the Falklands, they saw that this kind of light aircraft carrier had no effectiveness and was almost a live target at sea, so they made up their minds and decommissioned.

Last year, a shipbreaking yard in China bought the cargo ship, intending to disassemble it into steel and end its life, and now, the ship is on the way back.

Although the internal facilities have been dismantled and the weapons are gone, it is also an aircraft carrier, and it has been towed back, so let's study it first!

If you want to study, then you have to have carrier-based aircraft, isn't our J-7 the best supporting choice?

If the catapult of the Melbourne can still work, it can only catapult light fighters, the J-7 is the best, and the J-8 is too heavy to fly, and it is impossible to fly at full speed against the wind.
