Warship of Great Power

  Chapter 81 MiG-29 introduction plan

   "Is this plane already in use?" Qin Tao was full of surprise when he saw the Tu-104 airliner appearing in front of him.

"Yes." Hao Kejian, who was in charge of piloting the plane, was inspecting the plane. Seeing Qin Tao, he was also very excited: "Our eight Tu-104s are all in good condition. These planes are currently in our naval aviation Inside, it is already the main force, this time I transported a batch of supplies to Huating, and it happened to be an empty plane to return, I didn't expect that I could pick you up."

  Recalling the last time I went to Lao Maozi with Qin Tao, Hao Kejian's eyes were full of admiration.

   "That's good, it finally solved a big problem for the Navy."

   "Yes, four of them have been selected as platforms for maritime patrol aircraft and have been refitted at the aircraft factory. The rest of these aircraft are used as transport aircraft."

  It is not safe to continue to use aircraft that have been eliminated as passenger aircraft after refurbishment. If something happens, it will cause a major incident. The transport aircraft is different. These aircraft are too important to the Navy.

   "Now, someone has asked whether our H-6 can also be modified in this way."

  Hearing this, Qin Tao shook his head again and again: "This is not appropriate."

   "Why?"

"If from the very beginning, after we successfully imitated the H-6, we would develop passenger aircraft based on the H-6 platform, then it would be about the same. After decades have passed, Liu Ye has long been outdated. It is unnecessary to use it to modify the passenger aircraft. "Qin Tao said: "Military aircraft are different from civil aviation airliners. Civil aviation first pursues profit. This kind of aircraft consumes too much fuel, and it will lose money to run civil aviation. If civil aviation wants passenger aircraft, I still have a way in the future, but let's change it ourselves. , let’s get rid of it.”

  When the Yun-10 project was discontinued that year, some people imagined that if it was changed on the basis of Hong-6, it might still be successful.

  History has no assumptions. What happened in the past is already in the past, so we have to look forward. We will definitely have big planes.

   There is still a chance in the future! Hearing what Qin Tao said, Hao Kejian was full of expectations again.

   "By the way, it is said that the superior is in contact and plans to purchase fighter jets from Lao Maozi." Hao Kejian continued: "It is estimated that our navy also has a share."

  Qin Tao was overjoyed suddenly, yes, how could he forget this?

Due to some domestic reasons, the West closed the door to arms sales, and the honeymoon period in the 1980s ended. However, the west is not bright and the east is bright. An interview with General Shaposhnikov, Chief of General Staff of Lao Maozi, an olive branch protruded from the article: If China hopes to obtain high-performance aircraft such as MiG-29

   machine, "Soviet government sees no political obstacles".

  After this sentence came out, the world reacted violently.

  After the opening of the country, the country saw a huge gap between itself and Western advanced technology. During the inspection, the aviation force was full of praise for the French Mirage 2000, but the price was too high and the conditions were harsh, so the negotiation failed.

  The most advanced J-82 in China is still a second-generation high-altitude and high-speed aircraft, a generation behind the West. In order to make up for this gap, the country must purchase from abroad.

  Qin Tao accompanies Zhao Ling home, and he will definitely be able to see Wu Shengli. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he simply chats with him, continues to give advice, and brags.

  The plane took off in the middle of the night, and it was already late at night when we arrived at the capital. When we arrived at Huilou, it was already dawn.

  Firecrackers were rumbling, and when Qin Tao walked into the small courtyard, Zhao Xiu'e was so happy.

   "Taozi, Auntie knows that you are busy with work, but you still have to come back when you should, so treat this place as your own home."

"Um."

   "Are you tired? Do you want to rest first? Or eat first?"

   "Not tired, um, is Uncle Wu there?"

   "Taozi, are you here?" Wu Shengli walked in from the outside with a briefcase in his hand, apparently on the night shift.

"Um."

   "What do you want to talk about with me? If it's about the missile boat, then it's free."

  Obviously, Wu Shengli is very vigilant, or, the last time he went to Mingzhou Shipyard, he suggested Qin Tao to come to his house several times, but Qin Tao refused to answer, which made him very dissatisfied, and now he found an opportunity to take revenge.

   "I want to talk about buying fighter jets with Lao Maozi. If Uncle Wu is not interested, then forget it. I'm just pointing fingers anyway."

  Wu Shengli got up solemnly: "Come, come to the study."

  Qin Tao is very happy, since he is here, he must find something to do with a sense of accomplishment, pointing out the country, writing passionately, it's so cool.

   "What do you think?" Wu Shengli asked Qin Tao.

   "Although I have only been to Lao Maozi's place a few times, I am still very familiar with Lao Maozi's equipment. An airport guard like the MiG-29 is not suitable for us."

"Why?"

"Because we have a vast land and abundant resources, what we need is a fighter jet with a long range, which can patrol our vast land and ocean, and can fly thousands of kilometers. Our aviation force is equipped with so many short-legged aircraft, we should also know How serious is this flaw."

  Domestic aircraft have always had short legs, with a combat radius of only a few hundred kilometers. The Air Force can repair the airport to the front line, but what about the Navy?

  Because there were no qualified fighter planes, the naval aviation had never patrolled the Xisha Islands in the Nansha and Xisha Islands. It was not until the Flying Leopards served that they finally patrolled the sea and air of the motherland.

   "Go on."

"In Lao Maozi's equipment system, the MiG-29 is a front-line fighter used by the Air Force. Lao Maozi's combat philosophy is to fight as soon as it takes off, so the shortcomings of this aircraft's range will not be revealed. As for homeland air defense, they have The Su-27 fighter jet with a long range can cruise in the vast sea and air, I think we should set the procurement target on the Su-27 aircraft.”

  Speaking of these two aircrafts, many people will talk about them with eloquence, just like the F-15 and F-16 are high and low, the Su-27 and MiG-29 are also high and low!

  This is completely a misunderstanding of Lao Maozi’s unfamiliar military power. Lao Maozi’s troops are of various types. Although they all fly in the sky, there are air force, homeland defense air force, naval aviation and so on.

  Not to mention the navy, the air force is a vassal of the army, providing battlefield support to the army, and the homeland defense air force is used to intercept the invasion of various enemy aircraft. Therefore, the Homeland Defense Air Force is the strongest.

  Since people have the Su-27 with a long range, the tactical air force can of course use the MiG-29 with short legs. However, the motherland is different. The motherland does not have so much funds to engage in different military services. If you want to use one machine for multiple purposes, the Su-27 is obviously more suitable than the MiG-29.

  Wu Shengli's eyes widened suddenly, obviously, what Qin Tao said was right.
