"First of all, we should congratulate the J-10 project of the 611 Institute for a successful first flight!" After the first flight, it was a summary meeting. Of course, Ziyang Zhenren was talking about the celebration meeting, but Liu Yijiu thought it was too early to celebrate the celebration now.

If a fighter jet takes its first flight, it does not mean that it has entered the actual application stage.

There is still a long way to go to be appointed to the army.

Especially this fighter is really too expensive! In order to reduce weight, most of the parts are made of titanium alloy. If they hadn't had cheap titanium alloy manufacturing technology, the estimated cost would have exceeded 50 million US dollars.

Even so, the manufacturing cost reached 22 million US dollars, equivalent to 110 million US dollars of soft sister coins.

The cost will drop a lot after batch manufacturing, but it will not be reduced too much. The cost of avionics and radar systems alone is too high, and batch manufacturing is still impossible to achieve.

How could Liu Yijiu be happy when Ziyang Zhenren and others were preparing to install such fighter jets in the Air Force?

For him, these fighter jets can only conduct foreign trade.

Warm applause rang out, and then there were all kinds of praise.

But in the end, Ziyang Zhenren raised a question, which forced Liu Yijiu to get upset again.

"Since our fighter jet has successfully flew for the first time, there should not be too many problems in the next flight test. I wonder, when designing, did the fighter jets imitate the American F-14 weapon system? Everyone should consider this issue..." Zi Yang Zhenren's words were very critical.

If there is only one fighter, this is definitely not enough.

A fighter is just a platform. It requires matching weapons and equipment to enable the performance of the fighter to be exerted, otherwise, this fighter will be of no use.

During the design process of this fighter, Liu Yijiu did not spend too much effort on it. He was raised in front of everyone, and Zhuhoudao also looked at Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu smiled. His smile was very awkward, but this problem also had to be faced.

I immediately explained to everyone, "The F-14 weapons made in the United States include a M61a1 Vulcan 20mm six-barrel machine gun. It has 675 rounds of ammunition. Air-to-air missiles can carry up to 6 Aim-7, 4 Aim-9 or 6 Aim-54. Optional air-to-ground ammunition: mk-82, 4 Mk-83, 4 Mk-84, mk-20 cluster bombs, 4 laser-guided Gbu-10, laser-guided Gbu-12, 4 laser-guided Gbu-16, 4 laser-guided Gbu-24 and 4 Gbu31 joint direct attack ammunition... The rich number of ammunition types is due to the huge military system of the United States..."

This is something that Liu Yijiu is extremely envious of.

Especially the 80 F-14 fighter jets sold by the United States to Iran, these fighter jets are not equipped with such a variety of missiles. The only thing that is more enviable is more than 200 Aim-54 Immortals actively guide long-range heavy air-to-air missiles.

Two of these missiles were also transported to China for research.

"Everyone knows that in modern warfare, machine guns are basically useless. What is needed to attack air is various advanced air-to-air missiles in the long-term, medium and short range, other ground attacks, ship attacks and other missiles. All of these are not too many of them in our country. I have communicated with relevant domestic units before. The Air Force's large-scale equipment of Pili-1, Pili-2. Pili-2 B, and even other improved models of Pili-2 are not suitable for equipping our giant panda J-1..."

Liu Yijiu had to put all the difficulties out.

"Our Ninth Academy is responsible for the design of fighter jets, but at present, what China can now supply is the Pili-5 short-range air-to-air missile with a range of 8,000 meters and a speed of Mach 2.5. In addition, there is a Pili-7 that is imitating the French Magic-r550 air-to-air missile. Of course, the Pili-4 independently designed by our country can be used in front of it..."

Domestic missiles, from Pili-1 to the most advanced Pili-7, except Pili-4, are all imitation products from foreign goods. Among them, Pili-2B, Pili-3, and Pili-5 are imitation and improved models of Pili-2.

What is depressing is that all models are short-range missiles, and none of them has a speed of more than Mach 2.5! Most of them are only Mach 2.2, and they can't catch up with the MiG-25 that drives afterburner!

Faced with the current situation, Liu Yijiu had no choice.

This is not a fault for anyone. With fighter jets and without advanced weapons and equipment, it is like a very powerful soldier on the battlefield holding a big sword and a spear to fight against an enemy holding a rifle. Others have begun to study out-of-visual attacks, but imitations are still being carried out in China...

The imitation is just short-range missiles...

Liu Yijiu was speechless and had no choice but to do this.

Unless they develop it themselves, in the Ninth Academy, the manpower is not enough. Although the Houyi model has been improved to improve the air-to-air missile, it is not enough to just have one short-range missile.

What about medium-range air-to-air missiles?

What about long-range air-to-air missiles?

"So, for us now, there is another biggest problem in installing troops, that is, we do not have supporting air-to-air missiles!" Liu Yijiu did not avoid these problems at all.

The Pili-8 missile was copied and improved by the strange snake iii air-to-air missile introduced from Israel in the 1990s.

Pili-9, also imitating the Israeli giant python-3.

Since the relationship with the Russians is still very bad, and the fighter jets are mainly to cope with the huge pressure on the Republic's national defense caused by the Russians at the border. Without the disintegration, it is impossible for the Russians to sell them to the Republic's R-73 short-range and R-77 medium-range active-guided missiles.

The Pili-10, which was created by the Republic based on the Italian counterfeit Aim-7e missile aspide medium-range semi-active radar-guided missile, is not sure when it will appear, and it is not necessary to wait until it enters the 21st century to successfully study the Pili-12 and more advanced subsequent models.

According to the Russian r-77 viper, Pili-15 has no trace at all...

"So, even if our fighter jets are installed in the army, they will face the dilemma of not having missiles with a longer range?" All the big guys were shocked.

Fortunately, they thought that after the giant panda J-10 was in power, they were not far away from the troops, and then they were able to be proud.

But I never thought that Liu Yijiu told them that although our fighter jets are advanced, they do not have the missiles to match them. They can only be equipped with short-range missiles with a range of less than 20 kilometers, and they are even less than other people's fighter jets with fast speeds...

This is like creating a super cannon, but it is found that the cannon has no matching shells...

How frustrating is this?

"You can't say that, because we have two medium-range anti-ship missiles in China, c801 and c802, which are good to use for anti-ship..." Liu Yijiu said with some self-deprecating words.

This is really nothing wrong.

The only powerful one is the anti-ship missile created by 801.

"Your unit does not have a missile research department? Don't tell us that you do not have supporting projects in this regard..." Long Yaohua's face was also a little unfavorable.

The joy brought to them by the first flight of the J-10 was left without any trace by the medium and long-range air-to-air missiles that were not equipped with fighter jets.

It was not Liu Yijiu who complained, because the Republic seems to be a very weak shortcoming in air-to-air missiles. It can create an incredible intercontinental missile like the Dongfeng-5, and can create a series of surface-to-ground missiles of various ranges, but does not have medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles and anti-ship missiles with barely subdued performance. Of course, the c801 is exceptional.

It was not until the Russians introduced the technology that...

The only one who is powerful in the Republic is the Army.

"Don't the Americans start negotiations with us? If it really doesn't work, just seek to introduce them from their homes or Western countries..." Zi Yang's true words revealed deep helplessness, "If it doesn't work in China, we can't get it out by ourselves, so we can only make people insult and smile, and use funds to introduce relatively advanced and relatively long-range missiles from them..."

At first, they were thinking about how to fight back against the Americans.

The cruel reality tells them that even if the fighter plane is created, the Americans can also humiliate China on the weapons equipped with the fighter plane.

After humiliating, China still has to smile and introduce garbage missiles from the arrogant Americans at a high price, which is already behind and is about to retire for Americans!

"No, I won't be able to make a sigh of relief if I don't steam buns. Is the Americans looking down on us! We can all imitate fighter jets. Can't a missile? Is it more complicated than a fighter jet? Liu Yijiu, don't you say that when Iran provided the F-14 prototype, it also carried the Aim-54 Immortal and Aim-7e missiles? Can these missiles be imitated as soon as possible? At worst, let's wait!" Long Yaohua couldn't let out the anger in his heart.

For him, if he continues to introduce technology related to fighter jets to the Americans, he will bow his head to the Americans.

This is very unfavorable to the face of the Republic and the face of the national defense of the Republic.

He hopes that Liu Yijiu's Ninth Academy will continue to bring miracles to China's national defense cause, and can tell them that they will be copied soon.
