The only ones who can confront Gorbachev are these old guys, but one of the key problems of these old guys is that they are too old, and their lives are not a few years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½{{}}
Moreover, although in the later world, Gromyko died in the same year, but Qusay feels that Gromyko's current momentum is not very good.
Gromyko himself did not know that his healthy health had begun to have problems since the last time he participated in the front-line handling of the Chernobyl accident, and that Gorbachev had a deeper purpose in letting him deal with the nuclear accident so trustingly.
At the beginning, the main people who put Gorbachev in the position of general secretary were Gromyko, Ustinov, Chebrikov and Ligachev.
Among them, the most important Ustinov died a few years ago, and the death of this powerful figure in the military gave Gorbachev a lot of space to constantly make personnel changes to the military, and with the help of that small plane, he successfully suppressed the military personnel who did not obey him. Gromyko and Chebrikov have now retired from their high positions, and Gromyko's son-in-law is no longer a few days away, and Ligachev, who was once Gorbachev's most important comrade-in-arms, has now expressed strong dissatisfaction with Gorbachev's policy. And Gorbachev also began to crowd out Ligachev.
After several years in power, Gorbachev has become full-fledged, and no one can stop him head-on.
The senators were extremely dissatisfied with Gorbachev's policies, and with the help of Iraqi funds, they began their own plans.
Returning from the Caspian Sea, Qusay continues to be busy, and now is the time to start deploying a series of plans for a joint currency of the Arab countries.
Repeatedly defeated 8 eastern powers, Chengdu Aircraft Company.
History will remember today, August 8, 1988.
A peculiarly shaped aircraft, slowly pulled out of the factory by a low tractor, it is different from all the fighters of the eastern countries in the aerodynamic layout, there is no tail, the large wing almost occupies the rear half of the body, in the front, there is a small canard, and the big mouth under the belly shows that it is using the belly air intake method. {{}}
The tractor was full of more than a dozen people, all of whom were the developers of this aircraft, and this time, they would let their pride fly for the first time.
And behind this plane, there was also a person on foot, his god was very strong at this time, and when he got up, he also felt the wind under his feet, and he was full of confidence.
This person is the chief designer of this aircraft, Chief Engineer Song. He insisted on walking, followed the plane, and came to the take-off line.
Today was a great day for flying. Their child, the first aircraft of Project 10, ushered in the moment of its first flight.
Project No. 10 has been developed since the early eighties, and after that, the project was officially approved and comprehensive development began. And if we talk about technical reserves, we can see from the Jian-9 project in the 70s, which has been fighting for nearly ten years.
Now, the first prototype of Project 10 is about to make a test flight, which is already a miracle in the history of military aircraft of the great powers in the East.
In later generations, the development of the No. 10 project was slow, although it was also the beginning of the project in the eighties, but, after several ups and downs, but also several times faced the risk of dismounting, until 98 years began to test flights, 04 years to equip the troops, the bitterness in the middle, only the people who study it know that when this kind of fighter first flight, the chief designer Song Engineer, is already gray-haired. {{}}
If one generation is developed and one generation is equipped, it will lag behind one generation. When the J-10 was flying in the blue sky, foreign countries were already fourth-generation aircraft entering service.
The development of Project 10 needs to overcome many technical problems, such as the technology of many third-generation fighters such as three-axis static and unstable control, wing-body fusion, redundant fly-by-wire of high-thrust turbofan engines, and integrated avionics.
In this regard, due to the very sufficient pre-research of the institute, the aerodynamic shape has undergone repeated wind tests at the time of the Jian-9, and the aerodynamic aspect of the No. 10 project has been basically complete, and the rest is to gradually modify the shape in the process of test flight.
However, the high-thrust turbofan engine and integrated avionics are their weak points, the engine is the heart of the aircraft, in later generations, it is because of the heart problem, involving the overall development progress of the fighter, until the introduction of a large number of Su-27 fighters, from the Al-31 engine, to achieve the flight of the J-10, delaying the progress for many years. {{}}
And now, with the investment of Iraqi funds, the turbofan six engine has completed the development of the entire model, passed the 250-hour endurance test, and has become a mature engine, and the first flight of the No. 10 project is equipped with this engine.
The thrust-to-weight ratio of this engine is now only six, but the new improvement plan has also been opened, and this engine will further improve the thrust-to-weight ratio with the efforts of the Dawn Engine Research Institute, and finally reach eight, reaching the ranks of the world's advanced engines.
Moreover, the derived gas turbine will also be a suitable power for warships.
On the other hand, the integrated avionics system has also completed an important technological breakthrough with the participation of Iraq, and this kind of avionics equipment has been adopted on the J-7, and the No. 10 project is naturally also a priority.
Cheng Fei's main research and development is the fly-by-wire system, and they have already carried out the development of a multi-axis variable stability machine on the basis of a training aircraft, and have accumulated a lot of experience, and this system of the No. 10 project has also matured. {{}}
Throughout the development process of the military aircraft, with the injection of funds and technology from Iraq, especially the fact that Iraq allowed Chengfei's engineers to study the Mirage 4000, which also has a canard layout, Chengfei gained a lot of experience.
The development of a fighter depends on how well the technical reserves are, and any vacancy in any key technology will greatly delay the progress of the development of the fighter.
McDonnell Douglas was selected by the Air Force as the main contractor for the F-15. The contract began on January 1, 1970, and the F-15 entered the full-scale development stage, however, on July 27, 1972, the F-15 made its first test flight. In 1974, the first mass-produced aircraft was delivered to the National Air Force.
In January 1972, the National Air Force formally put forward a light fighter development plan, selected the 401 of General Dynamics and the 00 of Northrop, and signed a contract for the two companies to manufacture two prototypes for test flight competition. The first YF prototype left the factory in December '73 and made its first test flight in February '74. In the end, the General Motors aircraft won the competition, and the experimental version named F made its first flight in December 1976 and began to be delivered to the National Air Force at the end of 1978.
It took less than 2 years from the proposal of the plan to the first flight of the first prototype, and only 6 years from the delivery of the national air force to use. This is a fairly fast development progress, the Su-27 at the same time, the project began in 69, the first flight in 77, and the equipment of the troops in 85, which took nearly 15 years. In order to catch up with the F-15, the Sukhoi Design Bureau worked hard.
In later generations, the Jian-10, which finally sharpened a sword after twenty years, has now advanced by nearly ten years, because the reserves of various technologies are already sufficient.
The gentle autumn breeze blew the empty runway, and the command center and tower of the entire airport were crowded with people; this time, the leaders of the state ministries and commissions, the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and the army, and thousands of scientific research personnel involved in the research and development were all gathered here, and the scene was even bigger than the test flight of the Jian-H-7.
After all, in the sky, the air superiority fighter that seizes the task of air supremacy is the king, and at present, the air superiority fighter that the big countries in the East can show their hands on is actually the Jian-8 of the Shenyang Aircraft Factory, which is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter developed to intercept Soviet bombers, and the Air Force is very dissatisfied with its air combat ability. The Super 7 fighter developed by Chengfei Company with its own funds is more suitable for the needs of future air combat. It's just that it inevitably brings the drawbacks of the J-7, with a short air time, a small range, and a narrow fuselage that also limits the room for improvement.
And this No. 10 project fighter will be their main aircraft to seize air supremacy in the future!
Today, this aircraft is about to usher in the moment of its first flight.
On the take-off line, everyone's eyes are focused here. As the chief test pilot, Lei Qiang wore a special orange sĆØ anti-Dutch suit and walked towards the fighter with his head held high.
After the establishment of the No. 10 project, Chengfei created a new system, and the selection of test pilots was carried out simultaneously with the development of the aircraft. Among the test pilots selected in the early stage, Lei Qiang's performance was the most outstanding.
In 84 years, Lei Qiang was selected to enter the test flight team of the No. 10 project, before that, he had flown J-6, J-7, J-8, Qiang-6 various models, and after entering the No. 10 project, in the face of the characteristics of the third-generation aircraft, he flew abroad a variety of models, Mirage 4000, F-20, F, and also flew a specially developed stability machine for the development of fly-by-wire system, with rich flight experience, and has hundreds of hours of third-generation aircraft flight time.
The political commissar of the test flight team was accompanied by Lei Qiang's side, and at this time, seeing Lei Qiang's face flushed, he couldn't help but be a little concerned: "Old Lei, do you want to take your blood pressure?" ā
"My whole body is boiling now, and my blood can rush out of the Tianling Gai, how can my blood pressure not be high? It's okay to take your pulse. Lei Qiang said.
Lei Qiang was very excited, after all, this was the first flight of this kind of aircraft, and he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
As the two walked, the political commissar grabbed Lei Qiang's arm and measured his pulse, and as a result, one hundred and fifteen per minute!
"Old Lei, okay?" The commissar asked.
"No problem." Lei Qiang said: "This is our first time, no matter who it is, we will be excited. ā
