601 undertakes the task of localization of the Su-27, and now the technology of the Su-27 has not been completely understood. There is so much leisure to do other things, and the work style of the 601 Institute is relatively old-fashioned, even if there is a new technology, it does not dare to use it rashly.

Su-27 is the first pure third-generation aircraft that China has come into contact with, although some of the electronic equipment is relatively old, but it is not comparable to the vision of the country that has been blocked for decades, and the 601 Institute also wants to take care of the previous J-8, where the energy is focused on others.

The model developed by the 603 Institute is a fighter-bomber, and HNA has always been depressed that it has no exclusive aircraft, but as soon as it comes out this time, it immediately placed an order for 200 aircraft, and with the production capacity of one in 603, there is no spare energy to study others, not to mention that HNA has to be willing.

The advantage of the flying leopard is that this is the first fighter-bomber independently designed in China, strictly speaking, except for the Spey used in the original design of the engine, and the SS100 series used later, the others are independently developed, which is essentially different from the J-X series aircraft.

It is also the first domestic aircraft with computer-aided design, whether it is the fuselage, or the equipment in the body, all the new technologies, new processes, new equipment, and many new combinations together, there is no equipment experience at all, and then to carry out large-scale transformation, may produce the wrong direction.

Although it is still analog wire guide control, other airborne equipment and avionics systems are basically the standard of third-generation aircraft, whether it is flight control, fire control, navigation, communications, and electronic countermeasures systems are also installed.

Like the previous sea surface anti-ship aircraft, except for ship-to-ship or rock-based anti-ship, there is no suitable air anti-ship platform, so although there are Eagle Strike series anti-ship missiles, there is no air platform that can be used, and the Flying Leopard is also the first combat aircraft in China with a combat radius of more than 1,000 kilometers.

Only the 611 Institute itself started from international cooperation and foreign sales, and is willing to dare to accept new technologies, plus their product Jian-10 has not yet been completely finalized, and then it is still too late to integrate new technologies, and it can increase his combat capability and win the favor of the military even more, so it is more urgent to update technology.

At least in terms of range, with the volume of thunderbolt, no matter how much it is improved, it is impossible to fit the fuel that can run 6,000 kilometers, but according to the personnel in South Africa, the thunder and lightning they are facing have a cruising time in the air for at least six hours, and it is also at a high subsonic speed.

I don't know anything else, but from this point, it can be seen that the Thunderbolts taken by Su Shi have definitely undergone great improvements, otherwise it would be impossible to get such a big improvement, as for the existence of SS200 series engines, they know, but the improvement of the engine alone cannot have such a good effect.

Even if the SS200 engine has high thrust and high thrust-to-weight ratio, it can't triple the range all at once, and the people from the 611 Institute chased it to Namibia to ask Su Ming, what kind of improved technology was used, and could you let me visit it.

It is not to blame that the people of the 611 Institute are rare and strange, but for an aircraft, the time to stay in the air is far more effective than being able to carry two more missiles or increase the speed a little, and the combat radius can more restrict the deployment and battlefield motivation ability of an aircraft.

For the people of the 611 Institute, Su Ming didn't need to hide any personal secrets, but the four planes were all on a mission, and they could only be allowed to visit after the planes came back, and when the people of the 611 Institute asked what task they were performing, Su Ming told them that they were carrying out air patrol missions in three countries.

At this time, the Zambian side had already negotiated that the annual cost of $40 million would be increased according to the rate of growth of the Zambian economy and the maximum increase in military spending, but not reduced, and that if the strike mission was to be carried out domestically, it would have to be authorized by the legislature.

The people of the 611 Institute were immediately dumbfounded when they heard this, the three countries together are equal to one-third of the area of China, and only four planes are used to patrol, which can be taken care of, but Su Ming said that flying around these three countries is more than 10,000 kilometers, and the four planes are divided into two teams and fly around in a circle.

The original data was just speculation, but now that it has been confirmed, the hearts of the people who came from 611 were suddenly hot like fire, and they didn't know what technology they used to improve it, and it had such a good effect, and when the four Thunderbolt fighters landed lightly on the ground, they were even more surprised to see the gliding distance of the four planes of less than 500 meters.

The taxiing distance of take-off and landing shows the degree of dependence of the aircraft on the airport, and if the taxiing distance is less than 500 meters when landing, then it should be shorter when taking off, so that the general field airport or front-line airport can take off and land this kind of aircraft.

Although these guys didn't fly the fuel at all, but the remaining fuel was not enough to take off again, the support personnel on the ground began to fill one of the planes with fuel, and the other personnel began to check the status of the aircraft, because it was only four planes, and it did not need to be dispatched too frequently, so the logistics support personnel were also very insufficient, Su Ming was now thinking, if there was a squadron, the logistics support personnel alone would have to be hundreds, and they were all people, they had to pay salaries, they had to eat, dress and sleep, and they were all costs.

There are no pilots among the people from the 611 Institute, and the Thunderbolt is not a two-seater, so these guys are still needed to fly, just flew back, these guys don't look tired at all, I heard that let me go up and show the surname of the plane, these guys also guessed who would get on the plane, and in the end it was Moristov who won the others, whistling and re-boarding the plane.

Since the lightning was originally designed for Chinese or Pakistanis, whether it was a tall white man sitting in the seat or seat, it seemed a little uncoordinated, but at this time, no one cared to pay attention to this, and they were watching intently as the plane began to start slowly.

"Tail flame infrared elimination!" One of them saw that after the plane turned on the afterburner, the tail spray was still only a faint light blue, and he couldn't help shouting, as if the latest F22 in the United States, the tail gun would not be so small when the afterburner was turned on.

He didn't think about whether the size of the thunder and lightning could be compared with the F22, the current lightning for the SS200 is completely a big horse-drawn car, and he didn't dare to turn on the afterburner when he was on the ground, otherwise the plane would not take off, but play somersaults.

When the thunderbolt only slipped more than 200 meters and flew into the air at a large elevation angle, these people were even more surprised, and then they saw the thunderbolt doing all kinds of thrilling aerial actions in the air, Moristov took his boldness to the extreme, and even flew over a small hill at an ultra-low altitude.

"What's going on? The aircraft engine seems to have turned off the thrust. At this time, Zhang Wei, who had been observing with a telescope, suddenly noticed that the plane was abnormal, as if the engine was not working at all when it was flying in the air, but the plane with the engine turned off had no problem moving forward with the help of his habitual surname, but how to make other actions, he immediately turned his head and asked Su Ming.

"It's an electric-assisted propulsion system at work." Su Ming explained to him with a smile.

"Electrically assisted propulsion systems? Electric planes? No propellers? Zhang Wei asked in disbelief, it is not impossible to propel the plane with electricity, but how can it work without the propellers.

"The propeller is inside, you can't see it." Su Ming deliberately sold Guanzi.

"I mean, I don't see any improvement from the outside, why has the range increased so much, can this be achieved on other planes? Or is it only possible with such light aircraft? "They are always concerned about whether Jian-10 can apply this technology, although Raiden is also his own child, but he is always mixed with other people's blood.

"I don't know this very well, I need to test it." Although the J-10 and the Thunderbolt are both single-engine fighters, one has a take-off weight of only 12 tons, and the other has a weight of more than 20 tons, which is almost doubled, so naturally there is a big difference.

"Is it easy to improve?" Zhang Wei asked with concern, J-10 was already close to finalization, but because Su has been constantly coming up with new technologies, and the 611 Institute also wants to further optimize this aircraft, it has not been finalized, and the military has opinions, so there is not much time left for the 611 Institute.

"It's convenient to improve, but the cost needs to be increased by a large margin, can the military accept it?" Su Ming looked at him, it was easy to raise the surname, but it was necessary to take into account the issue of the surname-to-price ratio, this equipment for the country is different from equipment for oneself, one needs to take into account the cost, and the other does not need to be considered.

The military is not necessarily willing to accept the result of reducing the number of people who can improve their surnames, so Su Ming doesn't think that the transformation plan of Jianshi will be carried out now, it is better to let the troops be equipped for a period of time before talking about improvement, the people of the 611 Institute are desperately trying to stuff all kinds of good things into it, but when Su Ming really tells them the cost of the transformation, they may not be willing to do it.

Su Ming is already very preferential to them on the SS100 series engine, and the price must be increased if it is replaced by SS200, and Su Ming is not a super metal battery for nothing, these two are added together, and it is not too much to ask them for one or two million.
