Chapter 338: The MiG-23 with two hairs!
"The MiG-23, which conducts confrontation exercises in our country, is not bad. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Mr. Tang said: "I think, today's General Andrei said very reasonably, if we introduce the prototype of the MiG-23, we can introduce our own technology to produce engines, the cost will be greatly reduced, now, if we introduce this twin-engine version, the engine is sky-high, we can't equip too much." Moreover, it does not match the size of our Spey engine, and cannot be replaced with a Spey engine. ā
Huaxia gritted its teeth and squeezed out a sum of money from foreign exchange reserves to introduce Spey engines from the United Kingdom, so they all know how much money is burned by the introduction of advanced turbofan engines, and in the current situation, the introduction of MiG-23 technology will already put a heavy burden on the country, and there is absolutely no money to introduce engine technology. What's more, even if there is money, the Soviets will not necessarily export engine technology to Huaxia.
Every fighter produced by our own side needs to import engines from the Soviet Union and then install them, which will bring serious national defense and security problems! Mr. Tang's worries are also reasonable.
However, these worries cannot make the Air Force refuse the temptation of the MiG-23, which has a strong power of more than 16,000 N, which will make the MiG-23 have powerful performance! And it's a heavy fighter! The potential for retrofitting is also enormous.
"The problem of the engine, we may need to introduce it in the early stage, but we can carry out surveying and mapping and imitation in China, using the production technology of the Spey engine that we have mastered, with five to ten years, we are completely able to imitate the engine, and this fighter is the first carrier-based fighter developed by the Soviets, and many of the above technologies are worth our introduction. If we have carrier-based fighters at the same time, our aircraft carrier program will be easier to carry out. Mr. Song said.
Aircraft carrier! As a big country with a long coastline, aircraft carriers are the best choice, although China's national strength is still very weak, and it is not capable of equipping aircraft carriers, but when the country's economic strength increases in the future, and the objective conditions permit, China will definitely have its own aircraft carriers! Now the introduction of the MiG-23 has simultaneously solved the problem of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, which is undoubtedly a better choice!
Who said that carrier-based aircraft cannot be used on land? Didn't Iran just introduce Tomcats as their fighter jets?
"Turbofan engines are the mainstream of the future, and since we have decided to introduce the world's advanced technology, we must introduce turbofan engines." Zhang Tingfa continued: "The United States is unwilling to sell us turbofan engine fighters, and the Soviets are the same, so we must strengthen our belief in turbofan engines!" For the future of our Air Force, in order to catch up with the world's advanced level, we must have turbofan engine fighters! ā
From turbofan to turbojet, it seems that only an external duct is added, but in fact, the greatly reduced fuel consumption rate doubles the cruising radius of the fighter, reduces the consumption during use, and the whole life is not necessarily more expensive than the turbojet.
"Okay, then we will propose to the Soviet Union to introduce the MiG-23K we see now, and discuss with them in detail!" General Xu finally made a decision.
In fact, before he came, he received domestic news that he found that the Soviet MiG factory had a double-engine version of the MiG-23, so he led the team and went straight to the MiG Design Bureau, saving the Soviets from hiding it, and now, since they have seen it, they must strengthen their beliefs and recognize the MiG-23K, and don't want anything else!
Carrier-based aircraft, Huaxia also needs this kind of aircraft! This is really the most suitable choice for Huaxia!
Kremlin.
"The Chinese have taken a fancy to our MiG-23K?" Hearing Ustinov's report, Andropov raised his head, what he originally intended to export to Huaxia was a single-engine MiG-23, but now by mistake, the Huaxia actually discovered this kind of twin-engine fighter of their own!
"Yes, what we mean is that we do not plan to export this fighter, after all, this is our carrier-based fighter, and its performance is much more advanced than the single-engine MiG-23, and if it flows into China, it may let the Americans know the performance of our fighter." Ustinov said: "However, looking at the meaning of the Chinese, it seems that they have recognized our twin-engine fighter and made up their minds to buy it." ā
MiG-23K, the current carrier-based fighter of the Red Navy! The first ship of the Kyiv-class aircraft carrier, the Kiev, and the second ship, the Minsk, have now been built, and they are carrying this advanced carrier-based fighter! The performance is more than one step higher than the original Yak-38, and the third ship, which is a facelifted aircraft carrier, will be easier to operate the MiG-23K.
At the same time, aircraft carriers with a larger displacement are also in the pipeline, and as warships for the Soviet Union and the United States to compete for maritime rights, the displacement is expected to exceed 60,000 tons.
"Andrey, what do you think?" Andropov asked Andrei on the side.
"I feel lucky today." Andrei said: "Fortunately, the MiG-29 fighters of our MiG Design Bureau are now in the Zhukovsky Test Flight Center, if the Chinese people see our MiG-29, maybe they will change their minds." ā
MiG-29! Andrei's words, of course, have deep meanings.
The MiG-23, after all, is an old model that was equipped with troops in 70 years, and now although it has undergone twin-engine improvement, its combat effectiveness has greatly increased, but it is only an emergency measure of the Soviets before the delivery of advanced fighters, and now, the MiG-29 is in the final stage of test flight and finalization, and soon, the MiG-29 will be equipped with a large number of Soviet front-line air forces and air defense forces, and the MiG-23 will gradually be on the verge of elimination.
Even the twin-engine MiG-23K will be replaced by the MiG-29K, and now, at the moment when the prototype of the MiG-29 is ready to be finalized, the trial production of the MiG-29K has begun, and the use of MiG-23K technology to improve the MiG-29K is the focus of the Mikoyan Design Bureau for some time.
Since this is only a transitional model, it will be replaced by the MiG-29K soon, and it will not be too dangerous to sell it to Huaxia, even if it is visited by the United States at close range, and even if the parameters are mastered, there will soon be a replacement model.
"And we, just through the export of the MiG-23K, can ask for more conditions from Huaxia." Andrei said: "For example, let Huaxia exchange their technology for the miniaturization of nuclear bombs or the basic research of quantum communication!" We can both be mutually beneficial.
