943 We need more advanced drones
The 611 Institute was arranged to cooperate with Zhao Bingyi's team to improve the performance of Figure 22 as soon as possible. The first phase of the project was mainly to replace the internal electronic system, and the second phase began to change the power system. The third step was to arrange the aerodynamic shape layout. Liu Yijiu led Xia Fei and others toward Dabashan.
"I think you should cooperate with Qin Fei in this regard. Although you are more familiar with the research on Figure 22 than Qin Fei, they have been studying bombers and large aircraft for decades." On the way to Dabashan, Long Yaohua proposed to Liu Yijiu.
Liu Yijiu nodded, but he told Long Yaohua that they would not take the initiative to cooperate with Qin Fei.
If Qin Fei wants to make his technology progress even greater, it shouldn’t be the Ninth Hospital to look for them, but they should be the Ninth Hospital.
"It's true. They should ask you to join the cooperation. This is a very good thing for their accumulation of experience." Xia Fei also agreed with Liu Yijiu's statement.
"The Blue Army's commander has been confirmed and will take office in half a month. In this regard, you may have to be prepared, especially regarding the development of the Blue Army. When the commander takes office, you need to communicate more, otherwise the Blue Army will not achieve the results we want." Long Yaohua suddenly said to Liu Yijiu.
The Zhi91 armed transport helicopter now undertakes many high-rise transportation tasks from Chengdu to Dabashan base. The military bosses are very satisfied with this helicopter that is much faster than other domestic models and has more advanced performance.
The only complaint is that this kind of helicopter is too expensive and the military and army aviation forces cannot afford to be equipped.
Moreover, the Republic has not yet planned to establish an attack helicopter organization.
In the Blue Army's plan, this helicopter will be equipped with a regiment
This is a huge expense, and the funds must be provided by the Ninth Hospital. Of course, the provision of Zhi91 is not to deliver 36 aircraft to the entire regiment in a year, but to deliver 12 aircraft within two years. The remaining ones will be gradually replenished in the later stage.
The purpose of this plan proposed by Liu Yijiu is to equip the helicopter regiment's special armed helicopters and transport helicopters in the later stages, rather than to equip the armed transport helicopters with too large numbers.
"Who is it?" Liu Yijiu suddenly became energetic when she heard this and always wanted to know who the person in charge of the Blue Army was.
But for so long, there has been no news, and he didn't know at all. Asking Long Yaohua and others, no one told him.
Long Yaohua shook his head as usual. "You will know then. Anyway, you have to believe that the person in charge of the Blue Army will definitely communicate with you. After all, this is an important test of our military's modernization reform and the most problematic in our army. However, for our medium-range active radar-guided missiles with a speed of Mach 3 and short-range air-to-air missiles with faster firing rates, the performance is too backward." Du Zhongkun directly raised the problem.
Liu Yijiu's brows frowned, and Long Yaohua and Xia Fei's brows also frowned.
It seems that the target machine is indeed behind.
Nowadays, fighter jets are getting faster and faster and better. If the performance of missiles cannot be accurately tested, these missiles will be equipped with the troops, which will also have a great threat to the troops.
"Minister Xia, the Air Force proposed to equip a drone with a high-speed horizontal and large-scale maneuverable flight in 1983. Didn't this be proposed long ago? Why is it still only Changkong No. 1 now?" Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and asked Xia Fei.
Faced with such a situation, he had already had the urge to curse.
What's this fucking thing
Finally, the aircraft was created, but there was no supporting missile. When the missile was created, there was no discovery. The technology was obtained from the Soviets, and the top aerospace experts in the Republic gathered the Republic's top aerospace experts. They had not yet built missiles based on the Soviets' technology. They found that the target aircraft used to test missile performance had no more.
"Don't mention this. We do it ourselves, it's too difficult, both the power system and the control system are problems. So someone proposed that the Americans imported 10 large-motorized firebee drone targets from the United States with too much appetite. One is priced at 5 million yuan. At the end of the negotiation, the total value is no less than 40 million."
Xia Fei was angry when he talked about this.
How much does a domestic J-7 cost? Americans are so embarrassed to speak out. A target machine costs 5 million yuan, which is equivalent to 1 million US dollars.
This thing is basically used for consumption, and it is a disposable consumable.
"No, you have been working on ground-to-air missiles for so many years, how could you not understand the situation of the target aircraft and your missile performance seems to be better than that of the country?" Xia Fei thought in an instant that the Ninth Hospital could not not know about this situation.
How did the Ninth Hospital do when testing missile performance?
"It turns out that after our missile was successfully studied, there was no test at all. We just got it on the battlefield and used enemy fighters to test the performance of our missiles. During the Sino-Vietnam self-defense counterattack war, the Vietnamese fighters were our targets; on the battlefield between Iraq and Iraq, various types of fighters equipped by Iraq were also the targets of our Houyi air defense missiles. Now, the air-to-air missiles we developed must use target aircraft. When used on the battlefield again, it is obviously not in line with the confidentiality system, and at the same time, we may not be able to find a suitable opportunity." Du Zhongkun revealed deep helplessness when he said this.
When I heard him say that the performance test of the surface-to-air missile in the Ninth Hospital was actually tested directly in actual combat, no matter how many bigwigs in aerospace or Xia Fei were all stunned.
No wonder the cost of weapons and equipment research and development of the Ninth Academy is much lower than that of other domestic units, and the speed is also much faster.
"They are not just like this. The final users of those missiles are bought for money, whether they are missiles or other weapons and equipment. The export of the Ninth Academy is basically for testing actual combat performance," Wang Shunyi also emphasized.
Liu Yijiu had to operate the rights at the beginning, and then he took the courage to export the most advanced weapons and equipment in the country to the warring countries. This allowed the Ninth Academy to not only obtain urgently needed development funds, but also brought scarce foreign exchange reserves to the country.
More importantly, the Ninth Hospital was able to obtain practical testing data that could not be obtained using target machines through these transactions.
The most uncontrollable factor in war is that it is full of countless uncertainties.
"Now, are we making air-to-air missiles or medium-range active radar-guided missiles? We must detect the missile's flight process in all aspects and obtain all performance while keeping it confidential. Our two weapons test battlefields, the two Iranian battlefields are obviously not conducive to confidentiality, and it will take a long time to have a chance. Nipponan currently only has 5 Z91s, and Vietnam does not have any advanced fighter jets." Wang Shunyi ignored anything else and directly told Liu Yijiu and the Air Force Minister, "We need unmanned target aircraft, and the performance of more advanced unmanned target aircraft cannot meet our testing requirements."
"Southern Airlines University originally proposed a design plan to improve Changkong-1, and I made my own plan. Now I don't know what the situation is," Xia Fei said a little embarrassedly.
If the target aircraft that tests more advanced missiles cannot be provided, the imitation of the F14-equipped Air Force plan will be postponed again.
To be continued.
