Chang Haonan's feelings for the An70 model are generally more complicated.

There is no doubt that the Yun 8 platform, even after the magic reform of him and Liang Shaoxiu, is still too poor after all, and there is nothing to spend.

If the flight safety problem is solved, it will basically be the top.

The range, especially in the case of heavy loads, is really unsalvageable.

Not to mention the Y-8, which was developed on the basis of a passenger and cargo dual-purpose aircraft such as the An-10, even the C130, which has been a benchmark for tactical transport aircraft in the past nearly half a century, will quickly fall behind after entering the 21st century.

Although it can be used by pinching the nose, it can't meet the future army's performance pursuit of tactical transport aircraft after all-

No matter how rich a country is, you always have to live a careful life.

In fact, the requirements for take-off and landing conditions of the Il-76 are almost the same as those of its predecessor An-12, that is, the prototype of the Yun-8.

The C17, although the maximum take-off weight and carrying capacity are much stronger than those of the Il-76, still maintains a fairly strong site adaptability, and can take off and land on high-level non-paved runways, but in this case the load capacity will be affected.

Even the Soviets did seriously consider the crazy idea of completely abandoning fundamentalist tactical transport aircraft and directly using the Il-76 with a higher-grade An-22 for high and low matching.

However, even the United States and the Soviet Union at the peak of the Cold War could not bear the high cost and waste of life caused by the miscellaneous use of strategic transport aircraft, and in the end they still honestly continued to use the An-12 and C130.

On the other hand, from the perspective of an afterthought of a reborn, this kind of "cross-border tactical transport aircraft" with a volume of more than 100 tons in the future will actually have different positioning for different users.

For large countries, it can be used as a lower-grade tactical aircraft, and for some smaller-sized second-tier countries, it can be used as the main force to match with lower-grade twin-engine light transport aircraft.

The A400M, which the Europeans are currently ripping off, is positioned like this in the future.

But then again, also from the perspective of an afterthought of a reborn, subject to the policy background of Ermao's side, Madasich and Antonov are not good partners.

Especially for a long-term project such as a large aircraft, where the R&D cycle is bound to count years, there are too many unstable factors at the intermediate non-technical level.

The money spent is still a small matter, and if the project development progress is delayed because of this, then it will be a big problem.

At the same time that Chang Haonan was entangled, the two sides that were fighting in the venue also fell into a confrontation.

Overall, the opponents, or at least those who do not support the cooperation, have a slight upper hand, but they cannot completely overwhelm the opposition.

Their main concern is that the investment is too large and the cycle is too long, and the Y-8, which has just been renovated, is not unusable; at present, the construction of the military equipment system in the new period is in full swing, and the next-generation main battle equipment of the three branches of the armed forces and one independent branch of the armed forces has not yet been settled.

And the reasons for the supporters are also very sufficient, although China's aviation industry has recently developed rapidly, but in the field of more than 100 tons is still completely blank, at present the research and development forces of various factories are already in an overloaded state of work, it is impossible for someone to come up with the manpower to tackle this kind of project in a short period of time.

It is true that transport aircraft are not considered main battle equipment, but considering that the PLA has a very clear cross-sea combat goal, and the huge territory and complex traffic situation also determine that roads and railways cannot fully cope with all situations, so people must have near-term worries without long-term concerns, and now the opportunity is in front of them, and there is no reason to let go.

However, a penny is difficult to beat a hero, and the voice of the supporters should be quieter after all.

Therefore, Zhou Rong, who strongly agreed, once again set her eyes on Chang Haonan.

The opposing side also looked at him a little nervously, who had not spoken all this time.

After being silent for a long time, Chang Haonan finally took advantage of a moment to express his opinion:

"For the An-70 project, I think we should really be cautious......"

Then, the whole venue fell silent.

It's not that he's really the final word, it's that almost no one thought he would be on the side of the opposition.

After all, judging from past experience, Chang Haonan's performance has always been an extremely radical technocracy, especially since this year, his layout of the civil aviation industry seems to have deepened this impression.

And even if it is only from the perspective of interests, Chang Haonan, who was born in the aviation industry system, has no reason to give up such a big job.

For a moment, everyone didn't even know what to say now.

However, Chang Haonan only paused for a brief moment before continuing to explain:

"Our army does have a large number of tactical airlift needs, and from the perspective of technology and equipment system, a tactical transport aircraft that is more advanced than the Y-8 is obviously valuable."

"I have two main concerns about the An-70, one is that after the collapse of the alliance, Kiev has not maintained a stable situation, the penetration of Western forces is very serious, and I find it difficult to believe that the two sides can maintain in-depth technical cooperation for several years."

This judgment was placed in the late 90s, which is indeed a bit early.

"I haven't felt it in the last few years......"

Sure enough, someone next to him muttered.

Chang Hao Nanxin said that you will feel it after waiting for another year or two, but this reason for using the future as a reference is obviously impossible to say, so he jumped directly to the second point he just said:

"There is also the fact that the main force of our recent strategic transport aircraft is the Il-76MF after lengthening and aggravation, and the future may be our own research and development of 200-ton transport aircraft, and the take-off weight of the An-70 is also 140 tons, whether it is for our army, or for potential foreign customers in the future, it is a bit too big, a take-off weight of 110 tons, the maximum load of about 30 tons of models will be more in line with the positioning."

"But even so, I'm afraid we won't have the extra strength to tackle the new model in a short period of time, and Comrade Haonan, after all, you have no skills, so it's impossible to do everything yourself, right?"

Zhou Rong still wanted to struggle.

"Director Zhou, don't worry, I didn't say anything and didn't do anything"

Of course, Chang Haonan does not want to completely stand on the other side:

"For Ermao, we should still focus on obtaining the inheritance left by the disintegration of the alliance, so that the cycle is shorter, and we don't have to worry about the other party suddenly changing hexagrams or other problems in the middle of the cooperation."

"Soviet Heritage ......"

The other person sitting opposite was stunned:

"Although the An-70 has been developed since the 80s, it was mainly completed after the collapse of the alliance, so it is not really a legacy......

"I'm not talking about Ann 70,"

Chang Haonan waved his hand, and at the same time came a tactical backlash:

"The most valuable legacy left by Big Brother is actually those technicians scattered in various countries, and we can find a way to dig them up!"
