Red Soviet Union

However, in this case, it will cause a sharp increase in cost? The commander of the Egyptian Air Force said: The original procurement cost of the J-7 is very low. After such improvements, I am afraid that it will not be able to be of high quality and low price.

If you want the horse to run, but don't want the horse to eat grass, how can there be such a beautiful thing! However, this is also the tragedy of poor countries! Andre said: This kind of improvement is indeed more expensive than the original fighter, but it must be much cheaper than other third-generation fighters. For example, in terms of price, I'm sure it's definitely less than the Mirage 2000. one-third of the

Andre's words made the commander of the Egyptian Air Force blush. The other party obviously knew about the negotiation and was very optimistic about the performance of the Mirage 2000. However, there was not enough funds. The negotiation went on for several rounds without any result.

In terms of performance, it can reach at least 80% of the Phantom 2000. Andre said: Of course, if someone is willing to invest in the early stage and join in the research and development, they can get a lower price. Uncertainty, I will get a production line and move to produce it myself.”

This sentence made the commander of the Egyptian Air Force feel excited: If this is the case, we in Egypt are very interested in this project.

Historically, Huaxia promoted the J-7m to Egypt, but in the end, Egypt still chose the Mirage 2000. For them, price is very important, and combat effectiveness is also very important. If they can take care of it, it is of course the best! Moreover, for Egypt, which is committed to developing its own industry, it is even more important if it can introduce production lines.

The commander of the Egyptian Air Force was indeed tempted, as were the air force personnel of several countries watching nearby. It was definitely a bargain to obtain more than 80% of the combat power at less than one-third of the price of Mirage 2000.

However, Tu Keda became more and more confused. These projects cannot be carried out by his own side. Moreover, when Andre was talking about it just now, he kept talking about the MiG 21. Could it be that the MiG 21 is from the Soviets? Want to do it yourself and improve the MiG-21? Isn't this a robbing business? Then coming to Moscow this time, what a mistake!

Mr. Tu, how about we talk later? At this moment, Andre said to Tu Keda.

Okay, okay. Tu Jidarian said two good words, followed Andre, and walked to the back room.

These rooms are just behind the booth, which is convenient for some interested businessmen to have further conversations, but now, following Andre, Tu Keda's heart is full of doubts.

Mr. Tu, what do you think of the improvement suggestions I just mentioned? Andre asked Tu Keda.

We are very interested. However, as far as our own ability is concerned, if we improve, we may not be able to complete it on time. Tu Keda said.

His words did not put gold on his own face. After all, since Chengfei was established, it has not independently developed a model, improved J-7, and it has not improved so much.

Just improving a nose, how to match it with the engine and the air intake is the key point. You know, when Shen Fei improved the air intake of the J-8's nose to the air intake on both sides, I don't know how much brains were used. Finally, With the MiG nose as a reference, it can be regarded as an improvement.

The belly air intake is not so easy for Chengfei.

Your J-7 improvement project should be self-financed? Andre asked: If this is the case, have you ever thought that this project can become an international joint project? We can work together to solve the above problems, for example, our Mikoyan Design Bureau can send out some engineers to help you complete the task of remodeling the J-7.

It has become an international joint project, and Mikoyan's engineers have joined in!

At present, the Mikoyan Design Bureau is still a world-renowned design bureau, and every fighter they design is fully representative! Can invite engineers here to help Chengfei design,

That would definitely be beautifully done!

Moreover, the MiG 29 uses the rd33 engine. The engineers of the Mikoyan Design Bureau are familiar with the performance of this engine and can better complete the matching work. As for the belly air intake, in their hands, it is not It's over.

If we join forces with the Mikoyan Design Bureau, it will become a complete learning task for our side. Working with them, our side will gain a lot of experience in designing advanced fighter jets.

However, there is no free lunch in the world. The Soviets helped themselves in this way, what did they want? This is not when the Soviet Union selflessly assisted many things in China when the country was first established, including Chengfei, which was also established with the help of the Soviets. Now, the socialist big brother is also going to live.

Does that require us to pay the expenses of these experts? Tu Keda asked.

Under the tide of the socialist market economy, these people think more realistically. Andre said: This is one way, of course, there is another way, that is, we jointly develop it now, and wait until it is launched on the market. We share a certain amount of profit, we don’t need too much, 30% of the profit is enough. If the development of this project fails and no income is obtained, then we don’t need any compensation from your side.”

In two ways, Chengfei can be regarded as hiring experts from Mikoyan and paying various fees for these experts, or it can be regarded as joint research and development, sharing risks. However, Tu Jida knew that he had no choice at all.

It is of course best to hire the other party's experts and master all the intellectual property rights yourself, but the question is, do you have so much money? Now that I brought the plane here, I actually came here to find funds! Relying on our own civilian projects will definitely not fill the gap in military aircraft development.

Especially now, according to Andre, the improvements to the J-7 are considerable, and the cost will soar.

Moreover, if the development of the project fails, Cheng Fei is afraid that he will go bankrupt. Therefore, in order to reduce risks, joint development is the most appropriate way out.

In addition to this reason, it is still Chengfei's technical reserves. Chengfei is building a body, radar, engine, and even missiles, all of which must be original Soviet products. It is jointly developed with the Soviet Union. Okay, moreover, the Soviet Union didn't ask for much, not half of it, but only 30% of the profit, which is definitely enough for conscience, and there is no possibility of its own side refusing.

Then we choose to jointly develop it. Tu Jida said. (To be continued.)
