Chapter 329: Introduction of the MiG-23

"Our current J-8 is still nose air intake, which leads to the inability to accommodate large-volume radar equipment, although it is a twin engine, but the fuselage is more slender and has limited combat capabilities. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 General Zhang, commander of the Air Force, first expressed his opinion: "Our army has been using the Jian-7 to defend the airspace for nearly 20 years, we cannot wait any longer, and we must be equipped with advanced fighters as soon as possible!" In today's air battle, everyone has also seen that our young man, even if he has the courage to go to the sky to engage the enemy, will not be able to knock the enemy down. I think we must introduce the MiG-23 as soon as possible to improve the combat effectiveness of our Air Force. ”

The Air Force's desire for new fighters is the most urgent, relying on the old J-6 and J-7 to guard the motherland's airspace, which is very helpless, and limited by the domestic technical level, the development of new fighters, and quite difficult to produce, so many models in history, all of them have failed without exception, and now only on the basis of the J-7 modified double-issued large version, J-8 has been developed for so many years, and now it is still unknown from the equipment troops.

Therefore, the commander of the Air Force first stated that the MiG-23 is very powerful, and we need it very much!

"Can we introduce a small amount of J-8 fighters on the basis of the MiG-23 and improve our J-8 fighters?" Shen Fei's Mr. Gu cautiously put forward this opinion.

Now it seems that the Air Force is quite satisfied with the MiG-23 and can't wait to put forward the intention of introducing it, so the next question is how much to introduce? If it is the introduction of dozens of aircraft, then Shen Fei's J-8 still has the possibility of mass production, if nearly 100 aircraft are introduced, and even have to use the production line to produce it by itself, then Shen Fei's J-8 will definitely be dismounted.

After all, this is Shen Fei's main project, for the J-8, J-7 are all handed over to Chengfei to produce, if the J-8 project is launched, then Shen Fei will lose the opportunity to develop his own fighter, and can only rely on the assembly of MiG-23 to live.

"For example, we use the nose of the MiG-23 and install it on our J-8 fighter, so that the J-8 will be improved to have air intake on both sides, and there will also be room for a large radar." Mr. Gu continued: "We can use this fighter to conduct interception operations. ”

"Even if the J-8 is changed to two sides of the air intake, can it have the performance of the MiG-23?" General Zhang continued: "The variable sweep wing of the MiG-23 gives excellent performance in various situations, our J-8, even if it is changed to air intake on both sides, cannot defeat the MiG-23 in dogfight, and cannot achieve a quick assault in a long-distance volley, since there is an opportunity to introduce the MiG-23 now, we might as well introduce this fighter, and then improve on the basis of this fighter, isn't it better?" ”

The introduction of the MiG-23, the introduction of a full set of production technology, and then on the basis of the MiG-23, improve a variety of advanced fighters, as the main fighter of the Chinese Air Force within 20 years!

"Yes, an improvement on the basis of the MiG-23, which has a greater potential than our J-8, and I also agree to introduce the MiG-23." Shen Fei chief designer Tang said: "We are now developing a turbofan 6 engine, this engine should be able to be equipped on the MiG-23, by replacing the turbofan engine, we can get a lower fuel consumption rate to increase the range, at the same time, we also have an imitation of the Spey engine, if the rear fuselage of the MiG-23 is redesigned, stuffed into two Spey engines, we can even turn this engine into a twin-engine heavy fighter, can undertake the task of a fighter-bomber." ”

Turbofan VI, is a tragic project of Huaxia Airlines, in 64 years when the project was established, at that time was to develop a thrust-to-weight ratio of 6 turbofan engine, used to equip the planned J-9, after more than ten years of development, overcome all kinds of difficulties, finally can be used, and, on the basis of WS6 further developed the turbofan-6 improved model, code name WS6G. While keeping the dimensions of the original engine unchanged, Increase the maximum afterburner thrust of the engine to 138.2 kN, increase the maximum thrust to 83.3 kN, and increase the thrust-to-weight ratio to 7.05, if this plan goal is achieved, it will become a high-thrust turbofan engine with the same performance as the West, but unfortunately, in history, in the early 80s, the J-9 and Qiang-6 aircraft plans were successively launched, and the turbofan-6 as its supporting power lost the use of the object, and because of the adjustment of the national economic plan, the allocation of the turbofan-6 was stopped, and at the beginning of 84, the development plan was canceled.

Huaxia's dream of having an advanced power heart has been shattered since then, and any model in the future generations has been dragged down by the engine, if there is no plan to introduce Su-27 and J-10 from Russia, it will be far away, and even J-20 has to use engines imported from Russia.

Turbofan-6 is the Shenyang Liming Engine Plant, and it is also a subordinate unit of Shen Fei, now, if the MiG-23 is introduced, it is obvious that not only the J-8 project will be greatly affected, but even the planned J-9 project, I am afraid that it will have to be dismounted, after all, the J-9 index is too high, and it has long exceeded the technical ability of Shen Fei, and it has also exceeded the capacity of the entire aviation industry in China! Now, it is so difficult to just have a large version of the J-7, let alone develop a new fighter for the double 26.

If the Jian-9 gets off the horse, the turbofan 6 will be in trouble, since the MiG-23 is to be introduced, you might as well find a new installation object for the turbofan 6! After all, turbojet engines are outdated, and turbofans are the mainstream!

Moreover, another major event in China's national defense industry is the introduction of the Spey engine, which has mature technology and can be used at any time, and can also be used as a backup plan for the MiG-23. It's just that to change the rear fuselage and stuff the twin hairs into it, which is also a major operation. He did not know that at this time the USSR already had a scheme for a two-engine modification.

Even Mr. Tang agreed to introduce the MiG-23! Mr. Gu can only be helpless in his heart, it seems that the project of J-8 must be dismounted, with the introduction of this fighter, the immature J-8, like an infant child, has been forgotten.

"Now it seems that the introduction of the MiG-23 is a major event in our aviation industry, and our Third Aircraft Department also proposes in principle to introduce this world-advanced fighter to improve the overall aviation level of our country and improve the combat effectiveness of our troops." The minister of the Third Aircraft Department said: "However, the introduction of the MiG-23 is a major event, and we must send an inspection delegation to the Soviet Union for on-the-spot investigation, and at the same time, I suggest that the Soviet MiG-25 fighters be inspected by the way, and the possibility of introducing MiG-25 fighters can also be discussed at the same time."
