"Do you mean we're going to build a small aircraft carrier?" the Admiral's breath was urgent.
Over the years, the development of the navy has been obvious to all. Although the navy has no large warships in service since the purchase of the new four King Kong, the Navy's technical reserves are still carried out in an orderly manner.
The navy is developing professional air defense warships, active phased array radar technology, vertical launch technology and so on. Naval aviation has also started shipborne simulation operations, and even two special shipborne aircraft. It can be said that the Navy's goal is to have an aircraft carrier formation as powerful as Eagle.
Yes, it is the same as Eagle country, but it is definitely not the same as cow country. The Navy will never want to have such a small aircraft carrier, which does not meet the needs of the Navy.
However, Qin Guan's judgment over the years has never been missed. Since Qin Guan said to have it, it must be necessary.
"It's not to build a small aircraft carrier. If we have this vertical takeoff and landing fighter, our needs are those islands in the south," Qin Guan said.
At present, the problem in the southern sea area is not very serious. Since the Navy fought a war with the navy of monkey state in the 1970s, it has been much more stable.
However, it won't take many years until the disintegration of the bear state and the end of the honeymoon with the west, the small countries around them began to make trouble.
Therefore, it is very important to take advantage of these years to solidify the territory there by force.
In the past, Qin Guan mentioned that it was enough to radiate around those islands by filling the sea for land, manufacturing airports and maintaining air bases.
However, due to various problems, it has not started yet. After all, it is too expensive to deploy.
So, how to use the existing small island for actual control? Of course, it's using VTOL fighters! The voyage doesn't need to be too far. Just keep the island. As long as you can carry medium-range missiles, it's enough to deter those small countries around. In case of any conflict, you can react at the first time.
There is no need for a base, just a flat land. This is the most suitable place for this kind of fighter!
Look at Eagle country. While it has advanced fighters, it has never given up the development of vertical takeoff and landing fighters. They have operated a large number of sea harrier fighters. Naturally, they know the advantages of vertical takeoff and landing fighters.
The demand for this kind of aircraft is small, and it is not necessary for the Han country to develop it independently, even for ordinary countries. This is the reason why the vertical takeoff and landing fighter has not been developed.
Now, hearing Qin Guan's description of the role of this fighter, General Liu asked, "President Qin, do you mean that there will be disputes in those waters in the future?"
Qin Guan nodded: "yes, I guess there will be a lot of oil and natural gas buried in that sea area. In the future, once it is found, it will become a treasure that everyone wants to covet. Those nearby countries will be ready to move, and that area will also become a reason for some powerful countries to interfere in our internal affairs."
Of course, Qin Guan is familiar with the history of later generations. The problems in this part of the sea area of the Han country, the surrounding countries want to become international disputes and bring in the big countries. Hum, now in his own place, we must solve them as soon as possible.
In this way, deploying a fighter that can take off and land vertically is the best way.
Qin was always a great prophet. Where he predicted that there was coal and oil, they were indeed mined. Now, he predicted that there would be energy in that sea area.
In this case, our side must plan ahead and carry out substantive and effective control in advance.
Although there are many small islands there, most of them are islands and reefs. When the sea water rises, it disappears and only appears when the sea water goes down. Therefore, it is not easy to build a big island.
Suddenly, General Liu thought of something: "President Qin, do you want to slap them and give them some sweets?"
Today, I slapped Niu Guoren severely. They will feel very uncomfortable. If they place another order and buy a batch of chicken rib harrier fighters, will they feel ashamed?
They think chicken ribs are good, but the state of Han thinks they are good?
In particular, harrier fighters are originally deployed at sea. They have special protective measures against the humid environment at sea. There is absolutely no problem deploying there.
Qin Guan shook his head: "slapping is slapping. We won't get used to their smelly habit. They think they are an empire with the sun never setting. They are not the only country with vertical takeoff and landing aircraft."
This confused General Liu: "in addition to them, there are people in the state of Xiong."
"Yes, it's the state of bear." Qin Guan said, "our relationship with the state of bear will soon improve. We also have a chance to get the yak-38 of the people of the state of bear."
The two VTOL technologies are different.
The Harrier fighter is equipped with an engine in the middle of the fuselage. One engine determines all, and there are nozzles in the front and rear, while the Jacques 38 has an engine in the rear, just the rear, and a lift engine is specially added in the front. This layout was later adopted by the F-35. Qin Guan prefers the latter compared with the two.
After all, there will not be much difference between the fuselage and the fuselage of an ordinary fighter, and it is also convenient for pilots to control. When the jacques-38m develops to Jacques 141, it is actually mature.
Look at the shape of Jacques 141, which is somewhat similar to MIG 25. It has rectangular inlet and double vertical tail, and its engine has reached more than 150 kn against the sky, the speed can reach Mach 1.7, and the range has reached thousands of kilometers. If it were not for the disintegration of Xiong Guo, it would have been of practical value.
If a base composed of several such fighters is deployed on the island of the state of Han, it will be enough to take pride in the surrounding small countries and let them no longer fear the territory of the state of Han!
Today, on the plane, the main leaders and leaders expounded the idea of vertical takeoff and landing fighter. Everyone listened very carefully. However, from the perspective of military equipment, the use of this kind of aircraft is still too small.
Is it necessary to equip this kind of aircraft?
However, President Qin said that the relationship with Xiong would improve, which made them look forward to it. If the threat from the North could be reduced, the Han army would greatly reduce the pressure.
Looking at the people's expressions, Qin Guan knew that he still needed to push. In fact, in the mid-1980s, Xiong Guo once showed MIG 29 to the state of Han, and even had the meaning of selling. MIG 29 can be sold, not to mention the blacksmith?
This is a changing era.
