Ustinov also understood immediately, and he generously introduced Huaxia personnel to the factory of his own MiG Design Bureau. After seeing everything here, he could no longer deny anything. The Belyakov in front of him certainly did not know that he was selling a single-shot version to China.
"What model are these MiG-23s?" Seeing this twin-engine MiG-23, the people in Huaxia also opened their mouths. The deformation of this MiG-23 looks much more beautiful. !
"This is the MiG-23K, our professional carrier-based fighter." Andrei hurriedly came over to round up the field: "The tail of this fighter has a hook, the landing gear is also strengthened, and each part has been specially treated for anti-corrosion. Therefore, the maneuverability of this fighter is lower than that of the original model. In order to increase the stability of the sea flight, our fighter has been changed to twin-engine, and we did not carry this fighter when we went to China last time."
Not to lie to you, but because they were selling land-based fighter jets, which were carrier-based fighter jets, so there was no introduction. Andre's explanation was completely reasonable.
"Well, there really is a naval hook." He almost stepped forward and looked at the rear of the fighter. The position of the hydraulic cylinder left between the two engines was obviously the landing hook!
And with a hook, that's a carrier-based fighter! Strengthening the body structure, strengthening the landing gear, and various anti-corrosion measures have all caused this aircraft to be much heavier than the prototype, and even the weight gain can exceed 10%, resulting in a serious decline in maneuverability. Therefore, land-based fighters fighting against carrier-based fighters are actually taking advantage of land-based fighters.
However, this disadvantage was offset by the improvement of the dual engine! After the replacement of two engines, the thrust-to-weight ratio is much higher than the original. Therefore, in terms of mobility, this twin-engine fighter has a greater advantage!
It's just that, of course, this advantage can't be said now!
"So it is." Mr. Song turned around and said: "This improved engine is more than four meters in length, which is one meter shorter than our Spey engine, so it must be replaced with Spey engine. No. However, the thrust of these two engines should be greater than the original one, right? Moreover, it is a turbofan engine, and the fuel consumption rate will also decrease."
An expert can know the engine structure of this kind of aircraft just by looking at it. Now, there are several engines ready to be installed on the ground. Just by looking at the fan with the outer duct at the front, you can know that it is a turbofan engine.
Moreover, next to the engine, there is a steel stamp with a serial number and a nameplate on it, Mr. Song said, leaned over and glanced at it, and immediately praised: "The intermediate thrust is 50,000 Newtons, and the afterburner thrust is 80,000 Newtons. , These two engines can output a thrust of 160,000 Newtons! When the engine is half-oil, the thrust-to-weight ratio can reach 1.4 or even 1.5, right?"
In the technical manual given by the Soviet Union, the turbojet engine used on the MiG-23 has an afterburner thrust of 130,000N, and now, the two turbofan engines have a combined thrust of 160,000N. ! Equivalent to more than a quarter of the thrust of the prototype! And the maximum speed, I am afraid it can reach Mach 2.5! You know, benefiting from the advantages of variable swept wings, the prototype of the MiG-23 can already reach Mach 2.35!
Damn, if I had known, I would definitely not bring these Huaxia personnel to the MiG Design Bureau! If you want to come, you must notify here in advance! Now, all the good things about the Soviets are exposed!
China's most lightweight J-7 now has a thrust-to-weight ratio of no more than 1, while the current MiG-23 has a thrust-to-weight ratio of over 1.4! Needless to say, the members of the Huaxia delegation who were present knew what this meant! It can be said that this fighter is the most suitable for Huaxia equipment, there is no other choice! To **** with that F-16! The turbojet engine that fools people, even an advanced turbofan engine is not installed, and it is said that it is highly reliable.
On the Soviet side, there are heavy fighter jets equipped with twin engines for their choice!
"This is the most urgently needed fighter in our Air Force, and we are going to introduce this fighter!" Zhang Tingfa's eyes were also bright, and he didn't want the original MiG-23, but the current fighter! Twin engines, or turbofans, with such a large thrust-to-weight ratio!
"No, this fighter is our carrier-based fighter..." Ustinov obviously does not want to export this fighter. After all, this is the most advanced fighter the Soviets have available! It is precisely because of this modified MiG-23K that the single-shot MiG-23MLA can be exported to Huaxia. Now, Huaxia is not polite, and actually came to ask the Soviet Union for this most advanced fighter. ! This is an advanced fighter aircraft of the Soviet Navy. If it is given to Huaxia, Huaxia colluded with the United States and obtained all the technical parameters of this fighter. When the Soviet Navy fought against the United States, it would be at a disadvantage!
"This fighter uses a turbofan engine, and the cost is very high." Hearing Ustinov's tone, Andrei quickly took over the words: "Even our Soviet Union is just a sea. There are only dozens of warship-based aircraft, and the Air Force and the Air Defense Air Force are simply unable to carry out large-scale replacements. IMHO, this modified fighter is really not suitable for your introduction. If you introduce a single-engine MiG- 23. We can help you improve the original turbojet-7 production line, and you can directly produce new engines. The price of the engine will not exceed 5 million yuan if it is produced in your country, but if equipped with our twin If the modification is made, it can only be imported from our engine. After all, many technologies in this engine are kept secret by us and cannot be exported. The cost of each engine is about 3 million rubles. Two units are six million, the price is too high, you will definitely not be able to bear it."
"Please consider carefully, our single-engine fighter jets have already beaten the American-made F-15 fighter jets in this battle in Hokkaido. This advanced fighter jet is exported to your country. You can completely let your country's air force protect your sky, this dual-engine carrier-based aircraft is really not suitable for your equipment." Ustinov also woke up, if he said too much, put these Pushing people to the side of the Americans is also not good for the Soviet Union.
The first day of inspection was finally over. Huaxia and his party came to the guest house in Moscow with longing in their eyes.
"We want a double-fired MiG-23, and we want to sell iron!" General Xu said firmly. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
