Chapter 336: Visit to the MiG Design Bureau

"Welcome to Moscow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Huaxia is related to the entire Far East strategy of the Soviet Union, in order to prevent China from turning to the United States, it is necessary to make every effort to promote arms sales to Huaxia, and through the sale of fighter planes to Huaxia, let Huaxia and the United States distance themselves.

The Chinese side led the team and was also the Minister of National Defense, and it can be regarded as not neglecting Huaxia friends in terms of specifications.

General Xu's hand stretched out and shook it into the hands of the Soviets opposite, and after nearly twenty years, the high-ranking officials of the defense ministers of the two countries once again shook their hands together!

It's a time to celebrate!

Andrei stood behind and shook hands with these people in front of him, most of whom had already met in Huaxia, and this time they were reunited in Moscow, Andrei had a special feeling.

This arms sale will definitely be achieved! Huaxia needs advanced fighters, and you can just meet Huaxia's needs, the reason is as simple as that!

"Let's go to the nearby air base, where there is a regiment of MiG-23 fighters, just in time to show you the outstanding performance of our fighters." After the greetings between the two sides, Marshal Ustinov said.

"We are already very satisfied with your MiG-23 fighters, and now, we would like to go to the Mikoyan Design Bureau to see the production line of the MiG-23." General Xu said: "We want to see how the MiG-23 comes off the production line, and whether our existing domestic production line can produce the MiG-23 without large-scale modification."

The statement is very clear, that is, to look at the production line! Ustinov and Andrei were very curious about this request of the guest, but they agreed anyway.

Is this a trick to get away with? It's not, I came up and said that I was very satisfied, and I want to see the production line? Could it be that they have already made it clear that the F-16 is not suitable for their equipment? But even so, should you pay attention to the art of negotiation, or do you overestimate the ability of these people to fool?

The convoy headed for the Mikoyan Design Bureau on the outskirts of Moscow, most of whom had been here less than 20 years ago, and many of them were saddened to see everything around them again.

The Mikoyan-Grevich Design Bureau was a well-known Soviet designer and manufacturer of aircraft. Founded in 1939 by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Glevich, this design bureau began its career from the design of the first MiG-1, and in the era of jets, the MiG design bureau was even more famous, ushering in its own glorious legend, MiG-21, MiG-23, MiG-25, MiG-27, MiG-29, MiG-31. Each one is quite classic!

However, over time, both Mikoyan and Grevich have died, and now, in the hands of the Mikoyan Design Bureau is Rostislav Apolosovich Belyakov, who, after graduation, joined the Mikoyan-Glevich Design Bureau as an aeronautical engineering designer. Later, the young Belyakov was appreciated by Mikoyan, and in 62 he was appointed Mikoyan's first deputy. After the death of Mikoyan in December 70, Belyakov, then 51 years old, also became the chief designer of the MiG Design Bureau.

In this post, Belyakov worked diligently and contributed his strength to the cause of Soviet defense. And today, received the news of the visit of Chinese friends, he is also very excited, now, the flight in the Chinese sky J-5, J-6, J-7, are the masterpieces of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, MiG-15, MiG-19 and MiG-21 corresponding models, with this exchange, Mikoyan Design Bureau fighters, will fly in the sky of China again!

Moreover, Belyakov also had dealings with Shen Fei's President Tang and Cheng Fei's President Song, and at that time, Belyakov organized manpower to help Huaxia get familiar with the production of the MiG-21.

Time has passed, and this time, when the two sides met again, they both had countless emotions in their hearts.

"Welcome to our Chinese friends." Belyakov said to the visiting Chinese personnel: "We are very happy to teach our Chinese friends the production technology of our MiG-23 again. ā€

"We are mainly looking at the production line this time, our country does not have much money, if we can transform our original production line, we can produce MiG-23, we will save a lot of valuable money." General Xu said.

"Okay, then I'll take everyone on a tour of the factory." Belyakov said.

The production of fighter planes sounds very complicated, but in fact, like the production of automobiles, it is also assembled from parts one by one, and aircraft factories, generally speaking, produce airframes, engines, avionics and various equipment, and there are supporting manufacturers to produce.

"Our MiG-23, the body is similar to the MiG-21, all of which use aluminum alloy as the main frame structure, and in key parts, titanium alloy is used as the load-bearing structure." Entering the production workshop and seeing the frame of the body where the aluminum ingots were being cut, Belyakov introduced as he walked: "So, you can use the original equipment to produce the MiG-23."

In fact, although the production of airplanes is also called assembly line production, in fact, most of them are assembled by workers manually, especially after the formation of the body, the installation of various equipment is completely the task of skilled workers.

After all, a fighter is not a car, and even if it is produced in large quantities, there are only 100 of them a year. Only under the war system can it produce more than 500 a year.

"This is our final assembly shop." Belyakov continued to walk forward and led the group to the factory building behind.

When he saw the plane in the assembly workshop, all of a sudden, Andre's heart chuckled, no wonder they came straight here as soon as they got off the plane!

The Mikoyan Design Bureau, now the main task is to focus on the development of the MiG-29, and the MiG-23 can only be regarded as a transitional product, so now it is only in accordance with the standards of the new MiG-23MLA that the original MiG-23 is carried out in the medium term, and the newly produced MiG-23, there is only one, that is, the MiG-23K!

Now, the final assembly in the plant is the MiG-23K! Such a twin-engine carrier-based fighter! This kind of aircraft was not marketed to Huaxia, and it is clear that Huaxia's intelligence department learned that they also had a double-engine deformed MiG-23! That's why I came to the Mikoyan Design Bureau, and in the name of investigation, let the Soviets no longer hide! (To be continued.) )
