Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 877

“General, so many spare engines…” Xie Kai’s voice was dry.

Who could have imagined that in the end, the RD-33, which had been dismissed as too many in the end, would not be enough in the end?

The Iraqis are so peculiar and arrogant.

Obviously, these bastards are for super-7B, not really buying so many spare engines, and even they may find opportunities to obtain the technology to assemble MiG-29 pivot fighters.

“It needs so much!” Ibrahim couldn’t refuse.

120 Super-7A, plus 120 spare engines, is exactly the requirement for 120 Super-7B.

They are not afraid that the Chinese will fall back on their bills when the time comes. Anyway, the delivery will not be in place at that time, so don’t expect their money to be in place.

“In addition, this time our delivery and payment methods have been changed. We will pay 40% of the advance payment in advance. When delivering, first deliver the amount of the advance payment, and then produce a batch, deliver a batch, and settle a batch.” Ibrahim Not a fool.

Now the international community is worried that they will fall behind, and they do not want to put too much money in China.

If it weren’t for France and the Soviet Union to ask them to settle their arrears before they could continue to talk about other things, and the rest had to be paid in cash, the fighter jets would simply not be imported from China.

After all, China’s fighter planes are still a little worse.

“So?” Xie Kai was a little unhappy.

“Thank you, you can think about it, and if you can, please prepare the contract.” Now Ibrahim is the master.

120 Super-7A, plus the same number of spare engines, the entire contract will cost at least 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, plus the previous orders for the flying shield system and other messy weapons and equipment, two hundreds of millions, enough for him to occupy again. Advantage.

Xie Kai had no choice but to say that he had to think about it first.

“Minister, is this too much? We only get the engine, which is of no use? And China is an engine imported from the Soviet Union…” Harry Mossan asked Ibrahim worriedly.

120 trainers, why do you need so many?

“These fighters are at least much more advanced than the J-7 we previously purchased from China, and their ammunition capacity and maneuverability are much improved.” Ibrahim explained.

“When necessary, these trainers can be used as fighter jets?” Harry Mossan understood.

Many fighters of the Iraqi Air Force are old and backward.

Compared with their backward domestic fighters, China’s light fighters, which are positioned as trainers, have improved a lot in terms of performance and combat capabilities. Although the combat radius cannot be compared with the French F.1QE, at least it is much better than others.

“We can also purchase engines from the Soviet Union!”

“The Soviets are not willing to provide production technology.” Ibrahim also had no alternative.

The Soviets are willing to provide technology. How can they go to China to introduce their fighters whose actual performance and theoretical performance do not know how far?

China is willing to provide technology.

In this way, the Assad-25 factory does not need to just engage in early warning aircraft and transform the aerial tanker.

“There is another advantage. Even if the Chinese are unwilling to provide Super-7B, we can change the single-engine Super-7A to the dual-engine Super-7B. Everyone should know that the Chinese Super-7B is a single-shot model. In the aerodynamic layout, only the rear wing has been increased, and there is no need to change the previous layout.” Ibrahim continued to explain.

If you dare to place such a large order, if you don’t have a reasonable plan, you will be killed by the president when you go back.

More than one billion U.S. dollars, for the former Iraq, it was just a matter of digging a few more barrels of oil, but it is not working now.

The country is short of money, and every penny must be spent on the basis of improving their national defense capabilities.

After listening to the minister’s introduction, everyone else agreed.

Without changing the pneumatic layout, or even adding much electronic equipment, Iraqi technicians can easily handle it.

Regarding such purchases, no one has any opinion.

“120 Super-7A, plus 120 spare engines? What do they think? Use so many spare engines?” Wang Guilin thought he had heard it wrong. “Where do we provide them with so many engines?”

“I’m also worried about this.” Xie Kai was very embarrassed, “I was worried that the two hundred engines would smash part of our hands. After all, the Air Force does not need such a positioned fighter.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The research and development of the Super-7 project was originally based on export.

The international market is what they are staring at.

I was worried about not being able to sell, but now it’s better because the engine is not enough.

“We grabbed the order from the Soviets. It’s a weird thing that they can continue to provide us with engines.” Xiong Hongyuan was a little envious in his heart.

Why is there a large number of orders for every fighter developed on the 404 side.

It seems that people are rushing to send money.

Factory 132 is a professional fighter manufacturer!

They have developed and produced fighters, but they can’t sell much. How can they not be so envious?

In one fell swoop, 200 Super-7A were sold.

All the investment in the entire project can be recovered. As in the past, it is strange that Xie Kai and others do not continue to dig talents from the 132 factory and the 611 institute.

“So, we have to find a way. What the Iraqis want is not Super-7A. They want Super-7B with more bombs, larger combat radius and better flight performance.” Xie Kai explained why the Iraqis To order so many spare engines.

Even if China does not provide technology, Xie Kai believes that they have obtained the production technology of super-7A, without the technology of super-7B, they can produce super- Fighters like 7B.

In missiles, people can create three bombs and two bombs, and the technical research and development feat of doubling the range. The fighter just adds an engine, single-shot to double-shot, and the aerodynamic layout is not changed a lot. You can even get it without blowing holes. , How can I get it?

“Can it work?” Wang Guilin widened his eyes, and Xiong Hongyuan’s face was incredulous.

On the other side, Huo Haiyuan nodded, “As long as you don’t change to another power system or change the aerodynamic layout, the avionics system and the radar system are common. Even the attachment points of the weapons are the same…”

“Then we can do it…” Wang Guilin was puzzled.

I just want to know how easy it is, why the Super-7B has not yet made its first flight.

Just add an engine.

“Director Wang, we considered Super-7B for personal use, and originally did not consider export.” Huo Haiyuan’s simple sentence makes people understand why the progress of Super-7B is so slow.

Xie Kai mentioned this before.

“In other words, the Super-7B we exported is not a dual-engine fighter that we really developed?” Wang Guilin was even more puzzled.

I haven’t seen any other projects.

The prototype of Super-7B was shown to Iraqis.

“Yes. It was originally planned to equip more advanced avionics systems on the Super-7B, and even wait for the miniaturization of the active phased array radar to complete the equipment. The exported model is unnecessary, and the difficulty is reduced a lot. “As chief engineer, Huo Haiyuan is naturally clear.

“The question now is, how do we solve the engine gap.” Seeing that Xie Kai got further and further away, he quickly brought the topic back.

If the Super-7B is compared with the American F-15, it is much worse.

This is not the fourth-generation Soviet fighter in the complete sense, and the third-generation European and American fighters.

Compared with the two and a half generation fighter jets of the previous Xiaolong, the performance has been improved a lot. At least, it will not fall behind against the MiG-29.

“How do you plan to solve it? Or import it from the Soviet Union?” Wang Guilin threw the problem to Xie Kai.

Now talk to the Soviet Union, it is estimated to be suspended.

The Soviet Union and the Iraqis are definitely talking about the introduction of the MiG-29.

China even hopes to import the Sukhoi Su-27 from the Soviet Union.

“Export turbofan-6.” Xie Kai was unwilling to continue importing RD-33 engines from the Soviet Union.

Even Xiaolong uses the RD-93 improved from the RD-33, and its performance has improved a lot.

He hopes to take this opportunity to find a way out for the turbofan-6 and to find a chance for the domestic engine to continue.

“I haven’t completed the test yet? It hasn’t even been installed on the fighter…” Huo Haiyuan is a bit big. “The performance of the turbofan-6G is very good, but it has not been used for a lot of experiments on the fighter. The actual real performance is still uncertain. .”

It is not a mature engine, it will smash its own brand.

“Isn’t it going to be used right away in the next step?” Xie Kai said, “I will start production of Super-7B for flight test immediately, and produce two or more at the same time, one with RD-33 and one with turbofan. -6. In a short time, we can’t complete all the deliveries, right? At that time, the turbofan-6 equipped will be directly regarded as an upgraded model.”

This kind of thing is very common in the international arms trading market.

The only uncommon thing is that in the international market, buyers are often seeking to upgrade models, and sellers will reluctantly agree to various conditions.

Now it’s upside-down, and China has taken the initiative to provide upgraded models.

The performance of the turbofan-6 is not outstanding, and even the technology is not very mature.

There are not many in the entire world that can develop turbofan engines.

The problem of heart disease in China’s aviation industry is known to the whole world.

In order to solve the aerospace industry’s heart disease, a huge amount of extra money was spent to introduce civilian bass engines from the UK, but it has not been able to achieve domestic production until now.

The British only sell technology, but not experience.

Otherwise, the development of the JH-7 began in 1973, and it has not been able to achieve its first flight until now because of lack of engines.

The turbofan-6 could have been. Once the JH-7 uses the turbofan-6, the bass engine that will eventually cost a lot of extra money will be wasted.

Therefore, the only choice now is the Turbofan-6.

“Will the Iraqis agree?” Wang Guilin was a little worried. “Our domestic engines have no reputation.”

Not to mention that foreign customers are not at ease, the Air Force itself will not be at ease.

The problem of heart disease has been plagued by the development of the Air Force’s equipment.

“Yes.” Xie Kai said affirmatively, “Even if I disagree, I will let them agree. I just want to give our domestic engines a chance.”
