Chapter 372: Simonov, what are you doing running around with nothing to do? Beware of being fooled!

Mikhail Petrovich Simonov, born in 1929, due to the special era in which he lived since childhood, Simonov fell in love with airplanes, fiddled with various aircraft models whenever he had the opportunity, and even ran to pick up the wreckage of airplanes, but, after graduating from secondary school, he could not be able to Moscow Aviation Institute due to family reasons, so he could only choose the Novocherkassk Polytechnic Institute, which was closer to home.

It can be said that Simonov was not born in aviation, but a genius shines wherever he goes, he worked hard to enter the Kazan Aviation Institute, created the Glider Design Bureau of the University Students, and tinkered with an advanced glider, which attracted the attention of the then bigwig Ustinov. This student design bureau became a national glider design bureau.

However, Simonov's goal was not to design a glider, but a real fighter, and thanks to these experiences, he finally entered the famous Sukhoi Design Bureau, where he worked under the leadership of the famous Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi, which was already 70 years old at that time.

After entering, Simonov was the main backbone, presided over the development of the Su-24 fighter-bomber, and by 75 years, Simonov became the chief designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau and began to lead the development of a new generation of fighters, codenamed T-10.

The development of the T-10 did not go well, the model that was first tinkered with, after various comparisons, and finally found that the performance could not be compared with the American F-15, at that time, Simonov decided to overturn and rebuild, and the prototype codenamed T-10S was rebuilt, so that there was the most glorious Su-27 family.

Simonov's career was not all smooth sailing, it was within the design bureau, because of the contradiction with another designer, Yevgeny Ivanov, he was also transferred out of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, it turned out that this Ivanov had no skills and was simply unable to lead the development of a new fighter, so Simonov returned and became the helmsman of the Sukhoi Design Bureau until later generations.

Now that the Su-27 has been finalized into service, Simonov has gained a lot of praise for the success of this model, and he has no regrets in his life.

It's just, how did he get here?

Because of the fact that there is a Sukhoi production plant in Komsomolskomsk, of course!

The headquarters of the Sukhoi Design Bureau is in Moscow, but it is only responsible for design, and the production is mainly in Komsomolsk and Irkutsk, in later generations, these production plants are mainly engaged in foreign trade, the Gagarin aircraft plant in Komsomolsk is mainly for the East, and Irkutsk is mainly for the production of Asan, in addition to these two factories, Sukhoi also has factories in Siberia, but the scale is not large.

Due to the scattered R&D and production, the people of the Sukhoi Design Bureau take passenger planes almost every day, and Simonov has a special plane Yak-40, although the crew is 27 people, but it often squeezes more than 40 people, which is nothing to the rugged old Maozi, anyway, the plane is also the most skilled test pilot of the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

The big guys like to live in Moscow, after all, it is the capital, it is relatively prosperous, the family is very stable, and it doesn't matter if you fly back and forth by yourself.

Lao Maozi has many aviation bases in the Far East, the most important of which is the Ukrainian card base, where all Tu-95 strategic bombers are deployed, and then there is the aircraft factory in Komsomolsk, although it is an aircraft factory, but on the runway side, a large number of hangars are still built, and if it is a wartime, a large number of fighters can be deployed here.

However, it is not convenient to use the aircraft factory as an air base, so Lao Maozi built the Zemji base near the Komsomolsk Aircraft Factory, which is 18 kilometers apart, and the building near the water is the first to get the month, and this base first completed the Su-27 refitting, and of course the Su-27 produced in Komsomolsk was used.

Simonov flew from Moscow to Komsomolsk early this morning, inspected the production line, and then walked to the Zemji base.

Many of Victor's cronies drank too much, and Simonov was qualified to enter the base directly, so Simonov came to everyone's side without the big guys knowing!

Fortunately, the third uncle's engine has not yet been installed on the plane, this is intended to be carried out at night, and now it is just the second pot head inside.

Even so, Qin Feng also had a feeling of being a thief, like someone else's wife who was suddenly blocked by someone else's door.

His heart suddenly chuckled, Victor's face turned white, and Morod's eyes were rolling rapidly.

What to do, what to do? How can you cover it up?

If it weren't for the sentence just now, Qin Feng could have turned himself into a Central Asian, his appearance was still similar to the people over there, and he could completely hide it, but now, he couldn't hide it.

Since you can't hide it, then just admit it.

"Excuse me, who is this?" Qin Feng spoke first.

"I'm Simonov, from the Sukhoi Design Bureau." Simonov spoke: "Are you?" ”

"Simonov? Are you the famous Simonov? Qin Feng made a very surprised look: "I'm so happy to see you, Chief Simonov, you are my idol!" ”

Thousands of clothes are worn, sycophants are not worn, no matter who they are, they like to listen to compliments.

"Your experience, I have heard for a long time, you were not born in aviation, but you grew up to be the chief designer of Sukhoi, and the Su-27 fighter you presided over is the first in the world! In the process of development......"

Qin Feng hurriedly closed his mouth, the experience in the development process is still estimated to be top secret, and it will not be announced until after the collapse of the Red Empire, and it cannot be said yet.

"How was the development process?"

"It must have been a rough ride, right? With any good aircraft, the development will not be smooth sailing. Qin Feng said: "However, as long as it is developed, then the next development will be smooth sailing, you look at this two-seater training aircraft, I think there is a lot of potential to be converted into a fighter-bomber." ”

Of course, the Sukhoi Design Bureau also has this meaning, after all, although they mainly produce interceptors, they will also carry on the development of other aircraft, and the Su-24 fighter-bomber is also very famous.

Now, the Su-27 has been tinkered out, the body is huge, there are multiple attachment points, and the lift coefficient is good, which means that it can carry a large amount of ammunition, and this kind of aircraft is inherently suitable for conversion into fighter-bombers!

The single-seat pilot is too busy and must be a two-seater, so it is the most suitable choice to convert it into a fighter-bomber on the basis of such a two-seat trainer!

In fact, they are also doing this, but unfortunately, they have not done it yet, there is no strong country, and wages cannot be paid, let alone improvement.

Thanks to the Easterners who came to the rescue, the Komsomolsk Aircraft Plant was the first to come to life, and with the Dongfang order, it was not only able to resume operation, but also to develop a two-seat fighter-bomber, which is how the Su-30MKK came about.

"You still want this fighter-bomber?"

Looking at the doubts in Simonov's eyes, Qin Feng shook his head: "Of course, but this is a matter for the future, at present, what we need most in the East is advanced fighters, and you should all know that we have had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Americans recently, and our project to modify the J-82 fighter will fail at any time, so we can only find another way out and ask our former big brother for help." ”

Qin Feng explained: "We are here to do business in the Far East, because there is something wrong with the plane, we can only make a forced landing at the airport here, the people here are very hospitable, I am very grateful, and at the same time I am very interested in the plane here, so I just stood and watched for a while." ”

"Yes, that's it." Molord nodded: "We used to be good friends, and we will be good friends in the future!" ”

"yes, since the crash landing is here, of course we have to help." Victor also breathed a sigh of relief.

Simonov glanced at the three of them: "So that's the case, I thought Qin always came all the way." ”

Mr. Qin? This guy actually already knows Qin Feng's identity?

However, it shouldn't be difficult, after all, the airline logo sprayed on the Il-62 can be reminiscent of the Pacific Group, Qin Feng is so young, and he can be accompanied by these people, just think about it, you can know that the identity must be unusual, such a comprehensive, who else can there be besides Mr. Qin?

"Mr. Simonov, you are amazing, you have shown me the eyes of the first-class Soviet aircraft designers!" Qin Feng was also shocked, but he did a good job of hiding his surprise and turned into a sycophant.

"So, Mr. Qin, your airliner has landed here, do you have any other ideas besides looking at our Su-27?" Simonov asked.

The words couldn't be more obvious: You just tell me honestly, what are you here for?

"Buy Su-27."

"Do you really want to buy our Su-27?" Simonov's tone was tinged with shock.

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded: "The modernization of our air force has suffered a major setback, and in order to obtain world-class advanced fighters, we can only come to our former big brother for help." ”

"But if you really need it, why don't you go and see our MiG-29s?"

"We don't want a swallow that can't fly across the Dnieper, we need a fighter with a large body and a long range, which can fight the F-15." After Qin Feng finished speaking, he glanced at the sky again: "Can we find a place to talk about it in detail?" ”

Lin Lao felt it in the sky, and it is estimated that he is about to come down, if Simonov and others see Lin Lao get off the plane, it will be a big trouble, after all, the Su-27 can be seen on this plane, go up and experience? That's a complicated process.

"That's right, go to my office and say it!" Victor also thought of this layer and quickly agreed.

So, a group of people came to the office and chatted specifically.

Speaking of the experience of purchasing the Su-27 in the East, there are many interesting anecdotes, for example, Lao Maozi is only willing to sell MiG-29, and then the big guy drinks once, and when he gets drunk, a certain drunken old Maozi officer speaks, and the MiG-29 can't even fly over the Dnieper, what's the use? You should buy a larger fighter, the Orientals only then discovered that Lao Maozi was hiding his secrets, and there was a more advanced Su-27!

Of course, this is nonsense, the Su-27 is not a secret, in 85, it was publicly unveiled at the Moscow Air Show, and in 87, it performed an aerial scalpel in the Barents Sea, and the Oriental delegation went to Lao Maozi to buy a plane, but they didn't know about the Su-27, and the people in charge of intelligence work should go home and farm.

"At the Moscow Air Show, the Su-27 showed strong maneuverability, which made us very envious. Mr. Simonov, you should also know that we have been inspecting Western fighters for several years, but almost all of them are medium fighters, whether it is the Mirage 2000 or the F-16, they are not heavy fighters, although we are looking forward to an advanced heavy fighter, but the West will not give it to us, and now the relationship with the West is even more stalemate, so we hope to introduce the Su-27 heavy fighter from here. ”

"Yes, it is true that you do not have heavy fighters, but it is impossible to sell our Su-27, which is, after all, the main fighter of our territorial air defense forces."

"I know that in order to introduce this fighter, we can also contribute our own advanced technology."

"Guys? What advanced technology do you have? Simonov spoke with disdain in his tone, as the chief engineer of one of the most powerful fighter design bureaus in the world, he had this proud capital.

"In our country, we have overcome the processing problems of flat panel slot radar antennas."

"What?"

Simonov's eyes widened: "Can you produce that kind of thing?" ”

The Su-27 is a good aircraft, but it was dragged down by Lao Maozi's backward avionics technology.

In the sixties and seventies, the United States has overcome the processing difficulties of flat slot radar antennas, this antenna has many advantages: high efficiency, which means that more electrical energy can be converted into electromagnetic waves, you can compare the MiG-25 radar, the peak power is 600 kilowatts, the legend can roast the rabbit to death, but in fact, the performance is not good, at most can search for targets at a distance of 100 kilometers, and the Tomcat fighter radar peak power of 8 kilowatts, but can search 300 kilometers away.

Low side lobes, the advantage of this is that it is not easy to be disturbed, and on this basis, it can also have excellent downward shooting ability.

Of course, Lao Maozi also knew that this radar antenna was very advanced, so he originally planned to install it on the Su-27, but the antenna just couldn't be processed, and in the end there was no way, and the MiG-29's inverted card antenna was amplified and given to the Su-27, which was originally planned to be 500 kilograms of radar, and finally added a ton of heat dissipation system, and the performance of the Su-27 was dragged down by the radar!

Because the radar was overweight, the body had to lose weight, and the Su-27 also suffered from hypochondria because of too many holes, and it was not until the Su-35 that it was completely solved.

Later, the East had the Su-27 to confront the Jian-10, and then the Su-27's radar was crushed by the Jian-10's radar in all directions.

Of course, this is only compared with the United States, compared with Europe, Lao Maozi's technology is not backward, you know, the Phantom 2000 is also used in the inverted card antenna, and Europe conquered the processing of flat slot radar antennas, which was also in the mid-to-late nineties.

Now, Qin Feng talked about the flat slot radar antenna, which immediately attracted Simonov's interest, if the East can process this radar antenna, then their Su-27 fighter will not have a pair of brighter eyes?

"It's just pediatrics." Qin Feng said: "Since you know our Pacific Group, you should also know that we have issued the Loongson No. 1 processor, which crushes Intel's latest processor in all aspects, and if your airborne radar can be installed with our processor, then the electronic countermeasure capability will also be greatly improved!" ”

Loongson No. 1 can be tinkered with, not to mention the flat slot antenna!

"That's right!" Morod finally interjected: "This processor is very powerful, Moscow instructed us to purchase 10,000 from the East, and you Sukhoi Design Bureau can apply for a batch." ”

For weapons and equipment, it is said that specially developed military processors should be used, however, because the performance of military processors is too poor, so the use of civilian processors is also a good alternative, AWG-9 radar uses 8086 processors, Yankee's Aegis system, and IBM servers are also used.

The biggest problem with the Su-27 is avionics, that is, radar, and now it can be improved with Eastern technology! Since Oriental technology is used, it is logical to sell it to Eastern fighters.

Qin Feng's attitude was very sincere at this time.

"To demonstrate our sincerity, you can come up with all the data of a flat slot radar antenna and we will process it." Qin Feng said: "Let me see if we have this ability." ”

"Good!" Simonov nodded, of course he knew that if he could get this radar, the performance of the Su-27 would be raised to a higher level again!

Outside, the whistling of planes sounded, and the Su-27UB slowly landed on the runway and then slid into the tarmac.

The gangway has been taken, but Lin Lao is still reluctant to come down: "The performance of this plane is really good!" Hey, what about the people below? ”

I went up and flew around, and the people were gone?

At this time, the guard he brought had already swished up: "Old Lin, something happened!" ”

What's the matter?

After Lin Lao listened, he looked nervous, he knew that it would not be a big deal, if this was leaked, forty engines could not be taken away, it would be a huge loss!

"Old Lin, what should we do now?"

"Hurry back and get on the plane!" Lin Lao said: "We have been cats until dark, and we must not show up!" ”

The rest will be handed over to Qin Feng, I believe Qin Feng will definitely be able to solve it.

Sure enough, Qin Feng did not disappoint him, and half an hour later, Qin Feng returned to Il-62 and told Lin Lao everything that had just happened.

"Xiao Feng, the superiors haven't agreed yet, you actually told it, what if we don't buy the Su-27?"

Although this kind of aircraft is very powerful, but we already have the J-11, can we repeatedly equip a heavy fighter? Although he likes it very much, he also has to take into account the actual situation.

"If you don't buy it, you don't buy it." Qin Feng said: "My words don't count, and I can't represent the Air Force." ”

"What you said was to fool them?"

"Not really, if they take a fancy to our flat panel antenna, we may be able to use the antenna for the engine in the future, a antenna for an engine, wouldn't it be crooked."
