Chapter 329： Introducing the MiG-23

"Our current J-8 still has air intake from the nose. This method makes it impossible to accommodate large-scale radar equipment. Although it is a dual-engine, the body is more slender and its fighting ability is limited." Air Force Commander General Zhang first expressed himself. Opinion: "Our army has been using the J-7 to defend the airspace for nearly 20 years. We can't wait any longer. We must equip advanced fighter planes as soon as possible! Everyone has seen today's air combat. Our young man, even if We have the courage to fight the enemy, but we cannot defeat the enemy. I think we must introduce the MiG-23 as soon as possible to improve the combat effectiveness of our air force.”

The Air Force's desire for new fighters is the most urgent. It is very helpless to rely on the old J-6 and J-7 to defend the airspace of the motherland, and due to the limitation of the domestic technical level, the development of new fighters is quite Dystocia, so many models in history have all failed without exception. Now it is only a double-release large version modified on the basis of the J-7. The J-8 has been developed for so many years, and it is still unknown when it is ready to equip the troops.

Therefore, the Air Force Commander first stated that the MiG-23 is very powerful and we need it!

"Can we introduce a small amount and improve our J-8 fighters on the basis of the MiG-23?" Mr. Gu of Shen Fei carefully raised this opinion.

Now it seems that the Air Force is quite satisfied with the MiG-23, and can't wait to put forward the meaning of introducing it, so the following question is how much to introduce? If dozens of aircraft are imported, then there is still the possibility of mass production of Shen Fei's J-8. If nearly a hundred aircraft are imported, and if they even have to use the production line to produce their own, then Shen Fei's J-8 will definitely be dismantled.

After all, this is the main project of Shenfei. For the J-8, the J-7 will all be handed over to Chengfei for production. If the J-8 project is dismantled, then Shenfei will lose the opportunity to develop its own fighter, and can only rely on the assembly of the MiG- 23 days have passed.

"For example, we use the nose of the MiG-23 and install it on our J-8 fighter. In this way, the J-8 is improved to have air intake on both sides, and there is room to install large radars." Gu continued: " We can use this fighter for interception operations."

"Even if the J-8 is changed to air intake on both sides, can it have the performance of the MiG-23?" General Zhang continued: "The variable swept wings of the MiG-23 endow it with excellent performance in various situations. Our J-8, even if it is changed to air intake on both sides, cannot defeat the MiG-23 in combat, nor can it achieve rapid assault in long-distance volleys. Since there is an opportunity to introduce the MiG-23 now, we might as well introduce this Isn't it better to build a fighter jet, and then improve it on the basis of this fighter?"

Introduce the MiG-23, introduce a complete set of production technology, and then improve various advanced fighters on the basis of the MiG-23, as the main fighter of the Huaxia Air Force within 20 years!

"Yes, the improvement on the basis of the MiG-23 has greater potential than our J-8. I also agree to introduce the MiG-23." Chief Designer Tang said: "We are now developing a turbofan. 6 engine, this engine should be able to be equipped on the MiG-23. By replacing the turbofan engine, we can get a lower fuel consumption rate to increase the range. At the same time, we also have the imitation Spey engine. The rear fuselage of the MiG-23 has been redesigned to fit two Spey engines, and we can even turn this engine into a twin-engine heavy fighter that can take on the role of a fighter-bomber."

Turbofan VI is a tragic project of China Airlines. It was established in 1964 to develop a turbofan engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 6, which was used to equip the planned J-9. After more than ten years of development, After overcoming all kinds of difficulties, it is finally usable. Moreover, on the basis of WS6, the improved turbofan-6 is further developed, codenamed WS6G. Under the condition of keeping the original engine dimensions unchanged, the maximum afterburner thrust of the engine will be increased to 138.2 kN, the maximum thrust will be increased to 83.3 kN, and the thrust-weight ratio will be increased to 7.05. If this planned goal is achieved, it will become a The high-thrust turbofan engine with the same performance in the West, unfortunately, in history, in the early 1980s, the J-9 and Qiang-6 aircraft were planned to be dismantled one after another, and the turbofan-6 as its supporting power lost its use object, and because of the national economy The adjustment of the plan stopped the funding for WS-6. At the beginning of 1984, the development plan was cancelled.

Huaxia's dream of having an advanced power heart has been shattered since then. Any model in the future will be dragged down by the engine. If the Su-27 is not imported from Russia, the plan of the J-10 will be in the future. Moreover, even the J-20 , all have to use engines imported from Russia.

The WS-6 is owned by Shenyang Liming Engine Factory, and it is also a subordinate unit of Shenyang. Now, if the MiG-23 is introduced, it is obvious that not only the J-8 project will be greatly affected, but even the planned J-8. For the 9th project, I am afraid that I will have to dismount. After all, the indicators of the J-9 are too high, and it has already surpassed the technical capabilities of Shenfei and the aviation industry capabilities of the entire China! Now, it is so difficult to just release a large version of the J-7, not to mention the newly developed double-26 fighters If the J-9 is dismounted, the turbofan-6 will be in trouble. Since the MiG- 23. Might as well find a new installation object for Turbofan Six! After all, the turbojet engine is outdated, and the turbofan is the mainstream!

Moreover, another major event in China's defense industry is the introduction of the Spey engine. This engine technology is mature and can be used at any time. It can also be used as a backup solution for the MiG-23. It's just a major operation to change the rear fuselage and stuff it into the double engine. He didn't know that at this time, the Soviet Union already had a dual-engine improved plan.

Even President Tang agreed to introduce the MiG-23! Mr. Gu can only feel helpless in his heart. It seems that the J-8 project must be dismantled. With the introduction of this fighter, the immature J-8 will be forgotten like an infant child.

"It now seems that the introduction of the MiG-23 is a major event in our aviation industry. In principle, our three aircraft department also recommends the introduction of this world-class fighter to improve our domestic overall aviation level and improve our troops. The head of the three aircraft department said: "However, the introduction of the MiG-23 is a major event. We must send a study group to the Soviet Union for a field inspection. At the same time, I suggest to inspect the Soviet Union's MiG-25 fighter. , you can also discuss the possibility of introducing MiG-25 fighters simultaneously." (To be continued.)
