"Comrade Belyakov, how about the stealth capabilities of this fighter?" Andrei asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"We plan to use plasma stealth technology, so there is no doubt about the stealth capability of this fighter." "We are fully confident that this fighter will become the most powerful fighter in the history of our Soviet Air Force," Belyakov said. ”

The Soviet Union began to study plasma technology in the sixties, and although the Soviet Union's research in this field far surpassed that of the United States, after all, this technology was only a theoretical technology, and it would take time to turn theory into practice.

"Sorry, I was wondering, now we already have the industrial samples needed for full-fledged plasma stealth technology?" Andrei asked.

"This is not available for the time being, but our technical research has been ongoing, and after our fighter is developed, it will definitely mature." Belyakov replied.

"So, what if the technology can't mature?" Andrei said: "I think it is unrealistic to completely press the indicator of stealth on a plasma technology that has not been transformed into a tangible industrial product, if this product cannot be developed for a long time, then, how can our new fighter deal with the stealth aircraft of the Americans?" Moreover, even if it is developed, it may not be suitable for aircraft assembly, as far as I know, if you want to produce plasma, you need a lot of energy, and our fighters may not be able to afford it. What do you think? ”

Belyakov was stunned for a moment, Andrei's words are actually correct to some extent, this technique may break through, or it may remain in place. In fact, in the process of development, they did not think too much about stealth, because it sounds a bit fantastical.

"I'm sorry, General Andrei, we feel that even if this plasma generator cannot be produced, our fighters have other outstanding performance, and the confrontation with American fighters will not be inferior, moreover, what stealth capabilities the Americans have been promoting may just be a strategic deception, and we do not believe that the Americans can have that kind of technology." Belyakov said.

"Really?" Andrei's face became a little ugly, as the chief designer of the design bureau, he was so short-sighted, and moreover, he also thought that the technology of the Americans was just a flicker?

What should Andrey say? F-117, which will be able to complete test flights this year and equip the troops? Most likely, in the next war, the Americans will use this cross-epochal weapon to rewrite the course of the war?

"Comrade Belyakov, I feel sorry for this." Andrei said: "In short, stealth is a hard indicator, if the fighter cannot make a breakthrough in stealth and meet our requirements, such a fighter does not meet the future needs of our air force." And the standard of stealth that needs to be achieved, this heavy fighter, the radar reflection area, needs to be the same size as a helmet. Regarding this indicator, I will put it forward at the meeting of the Ministry of Aviation Industry on the determination of performance data of the new generation of fighters, which is a hard indicator that must be achieved. Moreover, I will also report to Comrade Andropov in this regard. ”

"General Andrei, stealth is really so important? The United States is unlikely to meet this standard. At this moment, a designer next to him asked dissatisfiedly.

"Sedov, don't be rude." Belyakov hurriedly said that this designer, who is his assistant and the chief engineer of the new generation of fighters, is, of course, appointed from within the design bureau, and these plans are also carried out by the design bureau itself.

"Comrade Sedov, whether stealth is important, you will see the next war." "For our designers, perhaps, this is insignificant, but for the aviation of the front, this means the difference between life and death!" To ignore this indicator is a grave dereliction of duty. ”

Turning his head, Andrei said to Ustinov: "Comrade Marshal, we should not only pay attention to the development of our own stealth aircraft, but at the same time, we should also pay attention to the development of technology for discovering stealth aircraft. ”

"Andrey, what do you mean?" Ustinov looked at Andrei, who had never been seen so stubborn before.

"Perhaps, in the next war, we will encounter the threat of stealth aircraft." "On the battlefield, to defy the presence of the enemy means death," Andrei said. ”

As a front-line pilot, as a commander of several successful battles in succession, Andrei's words made Ustinov also attach great importance to it.

Thinking of the MiG 1.44 prototype of later generations, in order to reduce the degree of complexity, the semi-buried design is still used, which shows how much the designers do not value stealth! This is also because the Americans have a good degree of secrecy about stealth technology, so that the Soviets do not pay attention to it, thinking that the Americans are not so tough, if they know that the United States now has planes that can fly in the sky at will without being detected by radar, will they still be so calm and calm?

The Soviet Union is not a second-rate country in Europe, and it is self-righteous to develop a typhoon, a gust or something, and the Soviet Union is a big country comparable to the United States! In the development of fourth-generation aircraft, it must not lose to the United States!

Andrei knew that he would definitely upset many people by singing white face in Sukhoi and black face in Mikoyan, but Andrei believed that all this was for the sake of the Soviets and the sky of the future!

If these people from the Mikoyan Design Bureau had accepted Andrei's suggestion, improved it, and developed a product that was even better than Sukhoi's, Andrei would not have minded supporting the Mikoyan Design Bureau, but the stealth indicator is rigid and absolutely uncompromising!

Having said all this, Andrei tried his best to change his image in the Mikoyan Design Bureau, and he said lightly: "After talking so much, I am a little hungry, Comrade Belyakov, can we have a working meal here?" We will pay for the meals ourselves, and we must conscientiously implement the policy of clean government formulated by the general secretary. ”

"Absolutely." "It's just that it's noon, and we don't offer vodka here," Belyakov said. ”

Speaking of this, the two looked at each other and smiled, Andre suddenly had a feeling of grudge and hatred, and the chief designer in front of him, is it not a good acquaintance? (To be continued.) )
