"However, in this case, it will cause a huge increase in costs, right?" The commander of the Egyptian Air Force said: "The original procurement cost of the J-7 is very low, and after such improvements, I am afraid that it will not be able to be of good quality and low price."

If you want the horses to run, but you don't want the horses to graze, where is there such a beautiful thing! However, this is also the sorrow of poor countries! Andrei said: "This kind of improvement, compared with the original fighter, is indeed more expensive, but compared to other third-generation aircraft, it must be a lot cheaper, for example, in terms of price, I am sure, it is definitely less than one-third of the Mirage 2000." ”

Andrei's words made the Egyptian Air Force commander blush, the other party obviously knew about his own negotiations and was very optimistic about the performance of the Mirage 2000, but there was not enough money, and the negotiations went on several rounds without results.

"In terms of performance, it can reach at least 80% of the Mirage 2000." "Of course, if someone is willing to invest in R&D in the early stage, they can get a lower price, and maybe in the later stage, they will get a production line and move back to produce it themselves," Andre said. ”

This sentence made the commander of the Egyptian Air Force feel a wave of emotion: "If this is really the case, we in Egypt are very interested in this project." ”

Historically, Huaxia sold the J-7M to Egypt, but in the end, Egypt still chose the Mirage 2000, for them, the price is very important, the combat effectiveness is also very important, if you can take it into account, of course, it is the best! Moreover, it is even more important for Egypt, which is committed to developing its own industry, to introduce production lines.

The commander of the Egyptian Air Force was indeed tempted, and the air force personnel of several countries who were watching next to him were also tempted, and it was definitely cost-effective to obtain more than 80 percent of the combat effectiveness at a price of less than one-third of the Mirage 2000.

However, Tu Jida is becoming more and more confused in his heart, these projects cannot be carried out by himself, and besides, when Andrei was talking about it just now, he kept talking about MiG-21, MiG-21, is it that the Soviets want to do it themselves and improve the MiG-21? Isn't this a bargain for oneself? Then this time I came to Moscow, what a mistake!

"Mr. Tu, how about we talk about it later?" At this moment, Andrei said to Tu Jida.

"Okay, okay." Tu Ji Dalian said two yes, followed Andre, and walked to the back room.

These rooms, just behind the booth, were convenient for some interested businesses to have further conversations, and now, following Andre, Tu Jida's heart was full of questions.

"Mr. Tu, what do you think of the improvement suggestions I just mentioned?" Andrei asked Tu Jida.

"We are very interested, but in terms of our own ability, if we improve, I am afraid that we will not be able to complete it on time." Tu Jida said.

After all, since its establishment, Chengfei has not independently gone through the development of a model to improve the J-7, nor has it been so greatly improved now.

Just to improve a nose, how to match with the engine and air intake, is the key, you know, when Shen Fei improved the nose air intake of the J-8 to the air intake on both sides, I don't know how much brains were moved, and finally with the nose of the MiG-23 as a reference, it can be regarded as an improvement.

And the belly air intake is not so easy for Cheng Fei to do well.

"Your J-7 improvement project should be self-funded, right?" Andrei asked: "If this is the case, have you ever thought that this project can be turned into an international joint project?" For technical problems, we can work together, for example, our Mikoyan Design Bureau can send a part of engineers to help you complete the modification task of the J-7. ”

It becomes the project of the international alliance, and Mikoyan's engineer participates!

At present, the Mikoyan Design Bureau is still the world's most famous design bureau, and every fighter they design is fully representative! If you can invite the engineers here to help Chengfei design, it will definitely be quite beautiful!

Moreover, the MiG-29 uses the RD33 engine, and the engineers of the Mikoyan Design Bureau know the performance of this engine well and are able to better complete the matching work, as for the belly air intake, in their hands, it is even more not.

If you join forces with the Mikoyan Design Bureau, it will become a complete learning task for your side, and in working with them, you will get a lot of experience in the design of advanced fighters.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and what do the Soviets want by helping themselves like this? This is not the time when the People's Republic of China was founded, when the Soviet Union selflessly assisted many things in China, including Chengfei, which was also established with the help of the Soviets.

"Do we need to pay for these experts?" Tu Jida asked.

Under the tide of the socialist market economy, these people have become more realistic in their considerations, Andrei said: "This is one way, of course, there is another way, that is, now we jointly develop, and when it is launched on the market, we will share a certain profit, we don't need too much, and thirty percent of the profit is enough." If the project fails and we don't get any income, then we don't need any remuneration from you. ”

In two ways, Chengfei can be regarded as hiring experts from Mikoyan and paying various expenses for these experts, or it can be regarded as joint research and development and sharing risks. However, Tu Jida knew that he had no choice at all.

It is of course best to hire the other party's experts and own all the intellectual property rights, but the question is, do you have that much money? Now I'm bringing a plane here, but I'm actually here to find funds! Relying on its own civilian projects, it will definitely not be able to fill the big hole in the development of military aircraft.

Especially now, according to Andrey, the improvement of the J-7 is considerable, and the cost will soar.

Moreover, if the project fails, Cheng Fei is afraid that he will go out of business. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk, joint development is the most suitable way out.

In addition to this reason, it is still Cheng Fei's technical reserves, Cheng Fei is to build a body, radar, engine, and even missiles, all of which must be original Soviet goods, jointly developed with the Soviet Union, and the two sides make a profit together, of course, it is the best, and the Soviet Union does not ask for much, does not ask for half, only 30% of the profit, absolutely enough conscience, and there is no possibility for their own side to refuse.

"Then we choose to develop it together." Tu Jida said. (To be continued.) )
