Due to poor performance on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the Soviet Ministry of Defense focused its attention on the next Mikoyan design bureau fighter, and as a result, the Su-27 was not as famous as it was in history, equipping the Soviet army with only more than two hundred aircraft, and the Soviets needed to concentrate financial resources on the development of new fighters.

And the Sukhoi Design Bureau, which could only bring its own Su-27 to the international market, began to continuously improve, one of the ideas was to improve it into a ground attack aircraft!

Sukhoi has a long history of designing ground attack aircraft, and the Su-25 is their masterpiece, and now, on the basis of the Su-27, a new ground attack aircraft has been developed.

Moreover, the hypochondria of the Su-27 will not be reflected in the new ground attack aircraft, because the ground attack aircraft needs a sturdy body and a powerful bomb load, and there are not too many requirements for maneuverability, as long as it can bring a close-range combat bomb and engage in self-defense.

Therefore, the body of the Su-27 was strengthened, the payload capacity was increased, and at the same time, advanced vector engines were not needed, ordinary ones were enough.

On the basis of the Su-27UB combat training aircraft, the Sukhoi Design Bureau reequipped its internal equipment and developed the Su-27IB front-line bomber, the basic aerodynamic layout and structural design have not changed, but its ground strike capability has been increased, and the original air combat capability has been retained. After the completion of this program, they found that it was not suitable to use the tandem two-seat of the original training aircraft, so they changed to a parallel two-seat layout, which can avoid the repeated setting of some instruments and control mechanisms, and make it easier for the two crew members to cooperate with each other, in addition to ensuring that the pilot and navigator have a good man-machine interface, and even after a long flight, they can alternately rest and eat, which improves combat efficiency and flight safety.

In the Hereafter. This fighter-bomber was perfected in the hands of Russia, codenamed Su-34, and due to the improved nose, it became flattened, as a result, NATO gave it an image name. It's called a platypus.

In this way, this fighter has become a heavy attack aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 44 tons and a maximum range of 4,000 kilometers.

Such a fighter is a very good choice for the Huaxia Air Force, but now, this fighter is still only in the initial research and development stage, and there is still a long time before it is finalized.

Gorishin was a little surprised in his heart. However, when he saw that these Chinese personnel became full of interest again, Golishin immediately changed his mind in his heart, whether it was to promote Su-27, Su-35, or Su-27IB, as long as the Chinese people were willing to ask for it, then there was a possibility of cooperation!

In fact. For developed countries, attack aircraft are more valued. After all, what really poses a threat to the enemy is attack aircraft, ground attacks! And the export of powerful attack aircraft may allow the opponent to master the ability to threaten themselves.

However, these are not things that Golishin can worry about. Now as long as it can be sold, as long as the Huaxia Air Force is willing to ask for it, I will do my best to sell it! And the power of this attack aircraft is also determined by the ammunition on board, when the time comes. As long as Huaxia is not given more ammunition and let them use their own backward aerial bombs, then there is no threat.

Golishin is an engineer, and he is one of the few engineers who has a businessman's mind, and he is an exception in the Sukhoi Design Bureau, unlike other engineers who are brainless, so he is more suitable to lobby the Huaxia Air Force.

Now, Golishin, who had made up his mind, immediately said: "Yes, we have such a plan for such a two-seat attack aircraft, but this attack aircraft is the most advanced attack aircraft developed in our country, and the price is higher than that of the Su-35." ”

Of course, the price has to be higher! At least we have to make this early investment, Sukhoi has made a lot of money.

"We want to see it in action, and we can evaluate it before we decide whether to proceed with the next step of the plan." Air Force Commander Wang Hai immediately replied. Obviously, he also hopes to have this fighter, as for the price, Huaxia's principle is to be able to introduce production line production, even if the price is higher in the early stage, it can be reduced through independent production in the later stage.

"Then please prepare a delegation to our Sukhoi company for inspection." "This fighter is highly secretive, and we can't fly to your country to show it," Gorishin said. ”

The Soviets' engineers returned to the Soviet Union to prepare for the Huaxia side to inspect their advanced attack aircraft, and the wreckage of the crashed Su-35 fighter was also transported back to the Soviet Union.

"President Mhammad, thank you for the reminder this time, otherwise, we will almost fall for Maozi." After the Soviets left, Air Force Commander Wang Hai said to Mhammad.

Wang Hai admires Mhammad very much, every time Mhammad almost hits the nail on the head, hitting the nail on the head, and this time, he saw the problem of the engine nozzle.

"Maozi's technology is indeed advanced, and this Su-35 fighter this time is a very advanced fighter." "Unfortunately, the technology is not yet mature, and the ability to maneuver over stall depends on thrust vectoring engines, and the life of their engine nozzles is too short, which is chicken ribs," Mhammad said. Moreover, Maozi is somewhat on the wrong path, and in future air battles, stealth capabilities and over-the-horizon attack capabilities are more important. ”

As the maneuverability of fighters becomes higher and higher, the combat will become more and more dangerous, so advanced aircraft will gradually abandon close-range combat, such as the F-22 of the Americans in later generations, the standard tactic is to rely on their outstanding stealth ability to carry out sneak attacks, launch their own air-to-air missiles at medium range, and leave after launching. Although the F-22's fighting ability is also very strong, if the pilot makes a mistake and is knocked down by the opponent with a fighter plane of one or two hundred million dollars, it will be too worthless.

"Stealth and over-the-horizon attack capabilities." Wang Hai silently thought about Mahmad's words, a confrontation exercise conducted by Pakistan in China in the past taught the Huaxia Air Force a vivid lesson, and future air combat is no longer a confrontation between individual aircraft, but an operation with the cooperation of the entire system of early warning planes and jamming aircraft, and Huaxia lacks a lot in this regard.

Moreover, until now, Huaxia has not had a full-fledged medium-range air-to-air missile!

"President Mhammad, Cheng Fei sent a report, saying that you will jointly develop a new fighter with Cheng Fei?" Defense Minister General Qin asked. This report only arrived in General Qin's hands yesterday.

"Yes, for us, the third-generation aircraft is just a transition, and the future air combat belongs to the fourth-generation aircraft, and we must exert our strength on the fourth-generation aircraft." Mhammad said.

Third-generation aircraft, just a transition! In China, the J-10 of the third-generation aircraft has just begun to be equipped, and Pakistan is already looking at a higher peak, that is, the fourth-generation aircraft!

"Yes, we should speed up the armament of third-generation aircraft and develop fourth-generation aircraft as soon as possible." Air Force Commander Wang Hai said: "Xifei has been imitating Tomcats, if Xifei's imitation can reach the combat effectiveness of Tomcats, we can use Tomcats for emergency first." After all, our Pakistani brothers have been operating Tomcats all the time, and the performance is very good. ”

Instead of wasting time on a third-generation heavy machine, it is better to choose a ready-made one. If the Su-27 is introduced, it will cost a lot of money, and the introduction of forty Su-27s is enough for oneself to equip sixty to eighty Tomcats, and the Soviets' asking price is not low!

In this way, it is more important to allocate more funds to accelerate the research and development of fourth-generation aircraft!

How did you not think of this before? Wang Hai was about to pat himself on the head, and he said to his subordinates: "Let's go to Xifei to inspect and see how the Tomcat fighter made by Xifei is performing." ”

After speaking, he looked at Mhammad and said, "President Mhammad, are you willing to go with us to Xifei to inspect?" ”

"It just so happens that I also want to go to Xifei to have a look." Mhammad agreed.

The leaders of Shen Fei on the side were already completely anxious, and this time it was easy to get these big leaders of the army, just hoping that they could make a decision on the spot and decide to import the Su-27 and make it in Shen Fei. But now, the plane that performed brilliantly fell, and the Air Force suddenly lost interest, and was so fooled by President Muhamad that it was going to fly west!

"General Qin, General Wang, what about our Shen Fei's introduction project?" Shen Fei's leader hurriedly ran over and asked.

"Shen Fei is ready, follow to the Soviet Union and see their two-seater attack aircraft." Wang Hai said.

Side-by-side two-seat attack aircraft! Although such aircraft are important for the Air Force, however, the number of equipment is definitely limited, and it is far less in demand than fighters!

Unconsciously, Shen Fei and Xifei in Huaxia actually changed their roles, and the eldest son Shen Fei began to change to attack aircraft, and Xifei, which originally produced attack aircraft, actually became a key aircraft factory that produced first-class advanced fighters! A few years later, this role was completely transformed, and the number of fighters produced by Shen Fei in a year was less than a quarter of flying west.

After the Air Force people left, Shen Fei's people wanted to vomit blood.

Mhammad followed a group of high-ranking officers of the Air Force, oh no, a group of high-ranking officers of the Air Force accompanied Pakistani President Mhammad to Xi'an, Shaanxi.

Before the production of the J-7, Xifei has always been unknown, and now, relying on the J-7, relying on the Spey engine and the modified TF41 engine, relying on the imitation of the Tomcat fighter, has entered a stage of rapid development. (To be continued......)
