"However, we have almost finalized the design of the T-10, and now we will do it all over again, will the military agree? In particular, the MiG-29 of the Mikoyan Design Bureau has already begun to equip the troops, and if we are too far behind in progress, will it cause the military to lose confidence in us? One designer said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the Ministry of Defense handed over the two types of aircraft to the two design bureaus for development, if the Sukhoi Design Bureau lags behind too much, it may lead to another result, that is, the project will be canceled, or the project will be taken away by the Mikoyan Design Bureau, such as enlarged on the basis of the MiG-29 and a model will be made.

"Yes, we have done so much work, and now the fighter is about to be finalized, at this time, we should finalize the fighter, and not question the performance of our fighter at this time, our fighters in the Sukhoi Design Bureau are the best."

"Chief Designer, we can't deny it any longer. Our fighters far surpass the MiG-29 in terms of performance, and even if they do not meet the standards of the F-15, they are quite good. Even those backward MiG-23 and MiG-25 fighters in the Mikoyan Design Bureau can fight with the F-15 in the air, not to mention our current advanced fighters! ”

One voice after another, almost all of them, are against the proposal of the chief designer Simonov, and it is absolutely inappropriate to overturn it at this time, and it will even cost the fate of the entire Sukhoi Design Bureau!

"No, we can't just look out for our own interests!" At this moment, the Simonov designer spoke: "From our own point of view, perhaps, it is the best option for us to finalize our T-10 and hand it over to the troops, but this is extremely irresponsible!" Our aviation fighters must have confidence in the fighters in their hands, and our Soviet fighters are the best and most powerful! We can't deliver substandard fighters to the troops, it's a crime! “

Simonov's words made everyone bow their heads, why didn't they want the fighter they designed to be the most powerful? However, all these years, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has been pressed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau. Now the MiG-23 and MiG-25 fighters of the Mikoyan Design Bureau are in the limelight, while the aircraft of the Sukhoi Design Bureau have always been unknown, and the overall situation has been holding back a lot of energy, wanting to create the best and most powerful fighters, but the current results are not powerful!

"I have already reported to my superiors that we, the Sukhoi Design Bureau, will redesign the T-10!" Simonov said.

"Report, someone from above has arrived." Just then, a secretary came in and said.

Someone from above! As a key model for the future of the Soviets, they were immediately shocked when they learned that the Sukhoi Design Bureau was going to be overturned and rebuilt, and Defense Minister Ustinov, Air Defense Force Commander-in-Chief Air Marshal Kordinov, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Kutakhov and others drove to the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

Andrey, who happened to be in Moscow, also caught up with this meeting, after all, Andrey, who came from the Air Defense Forces, can be said to have a better understanding of air combat than anyone else.

"Marshal Ustinov, Air Marshal Kordinov ... Thank you for your hard work. Seeing these people coming, Simonov stood up and gave up his seats.

Re-seated, Ustinov said: "The Sukhoi Design Bureau, has it been decided that the entire T-10 project will be overturned?" ”

"Yes." Simonov said: "We have a comprehensive understanding of the parameters of the American F-15 fighter, the level of the American fighter is far beyond our expectations, in order to surpass the Americans in the entire flight envelope, we have to reinvent the wheel and develop a new one." ”

"In that case, will the T-10 be able to catch up? Now, the F-15s in the United States have been mass-produced, and if our T-10 project is delayed, this is the last thing we want to see. ”

"Yes, Comrade Simonov, is our T-10 much different from the American F-15?" Kutakhov then asked: "In these battles, didn't we use the MiG-23 to defeat the American F-15 fleet?" Now, is the performance of our newly developed fighter still not comparable to that of the MiG-23? ”

And the comparison with the Mikoyan Design Bureau! Simonov said: "Our MiG-23 defeated the F-15 because of the command of General Andrei and the application of advanced tactics, and if we fight one-on-one in the air, the American F-15 will surpass all our fighters in terms of performance." ”

"Yes." At this time, Andrei spoke, as the most vocal person, and from later generations, Andrei knew how to choose at this time, he had to support Simonov and let the most classic Soviet fighter take off!

"The last time we were able to defeat the American F-15, it was because we used a combination of MiG-25 and MiG-23 tactics, and after that, the American F-15 could not take off because of engine problems, if the American F-15 can operate normally, although we can still win the victory in the Far East, but the cost will be much greater." Andrei said: "The T-10 project of the Sukhoi Design Bureau is related to the task of seizing air supremacy of our Soviet front-line aviation, and the performance of this fighter must comprehensively overwhelm the F-15, and now that we have the F-15 actual aircraft and have found our own shortcomings, then we must have a fighter that comprehensively surpasses the F-15." In my personal opinion, I support the reinstatement of the Sukhoi Design Bureau. ”

"If there is no war, no one knows its mediocrity, but our weapons should be of the highest level". Andrei quietly said the last sentence, this classic sentence, it was Simonov who said it in history, it was he who withstood the pressure from all sides, almost overturned the T-10 program, and then had the Su-27 flying all over the world, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Sukhoi Design Bureau was still in the mix, and the Mikoyan Design Bureau went out of business.

Now, since you are here, it's time to help the Sukhoi Design Bureau do something, and with your own consent, the pressure from the top will be much less.

In fact, before coming, Ustinov and others did not want to overturn and start over, which is related to the speed of equipping the new fighters of the Soviet Union! And now, Andrei actually took the lead in making a statement! (To be continued.) )
