Chapter 668 It’s time for my Manchurian planes to travel around the world
After solving the only current debt problem, the saved funds can continue to flow into military industrial construction without hesitation.
There is no need to absorb any blood from the industry and just spend two or three billion US dollars on research.
This is a very luxurious investment.
Three billion US dollars is enough to do a lot of things these days.
It is even higher than the total GDP of some small countries.
What's more, Ding Wei provided a large amount of research materials in the early stage.
If we can't come up with anything from this research, will it be worth the money we put into it?
After finalizing the second-generation and a half fighter jets from the Daluo Industrial Zone,
On the 18th day after Ding Wei returned to Manchuria, the institute came up with a design plan, a reference prototype, and a power model for experiments.
The military industry here has long been mature and is at the world's top level.
There have been many breakthroughs in the research of tanks, aircraft and artillery.
Conventional bombers, transport aircraft, light tanks, etc. can all be copied according to the latest weapons and equipment, and then use excellent optimization methods to carry out a new round of optimization suitable for our army.
The production capacity of jet aircraft exceeded 100 per month, and Ding Wei's air force force exceeded 2000 people.
The so-called 2000 people does not mean that the Air Force has only 2000 people.
There are more than 2000 mature pilots and flying soldiers who are capable of fighting on the front line.
The systems for students, trainees, crew members, etc. have been completed.
Several military bases also maintain a scale of 2000 fighter jets.
Before a large-scale war, there is no need to maintain more fighter jets. It is enough to support our air defense security.
What's more, it does not rely solely on fighter jets. The Air Force also has rocket troops who have long-range strike weapons and long-range cruise weapons.
To put it bluntly, we have enough fighter jets for our own use.
It is enough to maintain the number of Tianshu-2 and Tianshu-3 fighter jets at around 1500.
There is no point in having more, it is a waste of resources.
The most advanced one at present is Tianshu 3, equipped with Yuheng air-to-air weapons.
The most advanced fighter jets that the United States and Russia have now are nothing more than supersonic fighter jets.
It can reach twice the speed of sound and has air-to-air strike capability.
The MiG-21, F104 Starlight, F4 Phantom and Mirage III are all representatives of the second-generation aircraft.
The previous MiG-15, MiG-17, Sabre, Super Sabre and other fighters are all typical first-generation fighters.
The biggest difference between the two lies in the flight speed, the weapons and equipment carried, and whether there is an onboard fire control radar.
The first-generation aircraft generally have a speed below Mach 1.5, and the weapons and equipment they carry are machine guns, with basically no fire control radars, and even if they do have any, the effects are not very good.
The flight speed of the second-generation aircraft is basically above Mach 2. The weapons and equipment they carry are rocket launchers and even air-to-air missiles. They have good air-to-air strike capabilities and short-range guidance capabilities.
For everyone, there is actually only one standard for the second-generation aircraft, which is to be able to reach a flight speed of Mach 2.
UI.
Ordinary interception methods are of little use against fighter jets flying at a speed of Mach 2.
Even air defense missiles find it difficult to effectively intercept low-flying supersonic fighters.
Interception and breakthrough are always opposing topics.
There are not many people who can produce second-generation fighter jets now. Looking around, they can be counted on one hand.
The price of the second-generation aircraft is very nice. A MiG-21 second-generation fighter sold abroad costs at least 300 million US dollars.
Because it is strong, it is expensive.
It was because he realized this that Ding Wei could no longer stay.
Can I make money by staying in Daluo Industrial Zone?
No.
But if you sell the second-generation or first-generation machines in batches, that would be real money.
Selling 20 of them is almost a small goal.
There are no sensitive issues for the time being, so Zhou Weiguo goes to Dezi to see if he can use his previous connections to sell a batch of Tianshu fighter jets.
Wang Chao is in the Combined Fleet and the Northern Fleet.
The Northern Fleet needs no further explanation.
Our own fleet must be equipped with excellent pilots and fighter jets.
It has a lot of say in the Combined Fleet, so it can definitely be equipped with new fighter jets.
Southern Yunnan is also our own army, needless to say, once Tianshu 4 comes out, it will definitely be equipped with Tianshu 4 first.
The replaced fighter jets can be resold.
This gave Ding Wei a headache. With the support of the Eagle Sauce, the Chinese and Koreans would definitely not buy Manchuria's planes.
This type of faction-based forces will definitely not choose armaments from other factions.
We can only find a neutral country in the third world.
The biggest one is definitely White Elephant, but White Elephant has been showing off to us and looking down on us many times in the past two years.
He certainly would not buy Manchurian fighter planes.
Siam can try its best to win, as it is good at jumping back and forth between the two factions.
Although he is now close to the Eagle Sauce, he does not rule out buying a batch of Manchurian aircraft to put up insurance with Brother Long.
Ding Wei estimated that they would have to buy at least 20 planes to keep up the pace.
The rest will have to be considered in the desert. First, we have to look at the other party's economic strength, and then look at the faction to which the other party belongs. Only when both are met will we have a chance to purchase Manchurian arms.
This year, Ding Wei’s main goal is to sell arms to at least two countries.
Conventional rifle equipment, other rocket launchers, anti-aircraft weapons, etc., as well as conventional destroyers, artillery destroyers, torpedo destroyers, etc., can all be built in shipyards, and the quality will not be lower than that of the United States' World War II stuff.
The other is the Mach 2 fighter.
The strongest configuration currently.
In the afternoon, Ding went to the Manchuria Aircraft Research Institute in person to check out the design model.
Compared with Tianshu 3, Tianshu 4 has greatly improved its agility.
Able to perform more dexterous operations in a short period of time.
High-speed fighters such as MiG-21 and F104 all have a problem, and the Tianshu-3 is the same.
At high speeds, the aircraft's maneuverability is greatly reduced. Although it has reached a speed of Mach 2, it has lost its agility.
This has to do with the aerodynamic design of the aircraft and its turbojet engine.
Power, aerodynamic design, wing design, firepower deployment, fire control radar, and most importantly, the number of weapons carried.
Light fighter jets usually carry 2 tons of bombs. Since they are going to be upgraded, they must have all of them.
The bomb load must be broken through to at least 4 tons, giving it good ground strike capability.
It is not just an interceptor fighter, it needs to achieve comprehensive improvements.
The flight speed, strike capability, and interception capability must be balanced, and we must strive to be the best in all aspects.
After confirming that there were no problems with the aerodynamic model, Ding Wei signed his name and invested hundreds of thousands of US dollars to build a Tianshu 4 for verification.
Money will definitely be spent, and theoretical design is ultimately just theoretical design.
The plane must be built and actually flown into the sky to know whether the design is sound and to find any flaws.
If this step is not taken, there will be no substantial progress in the repeated deductions.
"Money is not a problem. What you need to do is to make all-round improvements to Tianshu 4 for me, and make them substantial."
