"However, we have almost finalized the design of the T-10, and now we have to do it all over again, will the military agree? Especially the MiG-29 of the Mikoyan Design Bureau has already begun to be equipped with troops, and our progress is lagging behind. Too much, will it cause the military to lose confidence in us?" said one designer.
The Mikoyan Design Bureau and the Sukhoi Design Bureau have always been in a competitive relationship. This time, although the Ministry of Defense handed over two types of aircraft to the two design bureaus for development, in case the progress of the Sukhoi Design Bureau falls too far behind , that may lead to another result, that is, the project is cancelled, or the project is taken away by the Mikoyan Design Bureau, such as enlarging on the basis of the MiG-29 and making a model.
"Yes, we have done so much work, and now the fighter plane is about to be finalized. At this time, we should finalize the fighter plane, instead of questioning the performance of our fighter plane at this time. The fighter plane of our Sukhoi Design Bureau is the best. ."
"Chief designer, we can't deny it any more. Our fighter jets far exceed the performance of the MiG-29, and even if they don't meet the standards of the F-15, they are quite good. Even those backward in the Mikoyan Design Bureau MiG-23, MiG-25 and other fighters can fight with the F-15, not to mention our current advanced fighter!"
One voice, another voice, almost all voices, are against the proposal of the chief designer of Simonov. At this time, it is absolutely inappropriate to overthrow it, and it will even lose the fate of the entire Sukhoi Design Bureau!
"No, we can't just take care of our own interests!" At this moment, the designer Simonov said: "From our own point of view, maybe, we are now finalizing our own T-10 and handing it over to the troops, yes The best choice, but this is extremely irresponsible! Our aviation fighters must have confidence in the fighter planes in their hands. Our Soviet fighter planes are the best and most powerful! It's a crime to deliver fighter jets to the troops!"
Simonov's words made everyone bow their heads. Why don't they want the fighter jets they designed to be the most powerful? However, over the years, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has been crushed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau. Now the MiG-23 and MiG-25 fighter jets of the Mikoyan Design Bureau are in the limelight, while the Sukhoi Design Bureau's aircraft has always been unknown. The best and most powerful fighters are coming, but the current results are not strong!
"I have reported to my superiors, we Sukhoi Design Bureau, will redesign the T-10!" Simonov said.
"Report, the superior is here." At this moment, a secretary came in and said.
The superior is here! As the key model of the Soviet Union in the future, I was shocked when I learned that the Sukhoi Design Bureau was going to be overturned. Takhov Air Force commander and others drove to the Sukhoi Design Bureau.
Andrei, who happened to be in Moscow, also caught up with this meeting. After all, Andrei, who was born in the Air Defense Air Force, has a better understanding of air combat than anyone else.
"Marshal Ustinov, Marshal Kordunov Air Force... You have worked hard." Seeing these people coming, Simonov stood up and offered your seats.
After sitting down again, Ustinov said: "Has the Sukhoi Design Bureau decided to tear down the entire T-10 project and start over?"
"Yes." Simonov said: "We have fully understood the parameters of the American F-15 fighter. The level of the American fighter has far exceeded our expectations, in order to surpass the entire flight envelope. Americans, we have to start from scratch and develop a new one."
"In this case, can the progress of the T-10 catch up? Now, the F-15 in the United States has been mass-produced. If the progress of our T-10 project is delayed, this is the last thing we want to see. ."
"Yes, Comrade Simonov, is our T-10 much different from the American F-15?" Kutakhov followed up and asked: "In these few battles, we didn't use MiG-23, just Can it defeat the US F-15 fleet? Now, can our newly developed fighters not perform as well as the MiG-23?"
Another comparison with Mikoyan Design Bureau! Simonov said: "Our MiG-23, the victory over the F-15, was the result of the application of advanced tactics under the command of General Andrei. If we fight one-on-one, the American F-15 15. It will outperform all our fighters in terms of performance."
"Yes." At this moment, Andrei spoke. As the person with the most say, and a person from later generations, Andrei knew what to choose at this time. He must support Simonov and let the Soviets have the most say. Classic fighter jets take off!
"The last time we were able to beat the US F-15 was because we used a combination of MiG-25 and MiG-23 tactics, and after the US F-15 failed due to engine problems. Take off, if the American F-15 can operate normally, we can still win the victory in the Far East, but the cost will be much higher.” Andrei said: “The T-10 project of the Sukhoi Design Bureau is related to us. The task of the Soviet front-line aviation force to seize air supremacy, the performance of this fighter must completely overwhelm the F-15. Now that we already have the F-15 real aircraft and have found our own shortcomings, then we must have a comprehensive F-15. -15 fighter. My personal opinion is that I support the Sukhoi Design Bureau's overthrow and rebuild."
"If there is no war, no one knows its mediocrity, but our weapons should have the highest level." Andrei quietly said the last sentence. This classic sentence was uttered by Simonov in history. It was he who withstood all pressures and almost overturned the T-10 plan. With the later Su-27 flying all over the world, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Sukhoi Design Bureau was still prosperous, while the Mikoyan Design Bureau went bankrupt.
Now, since I am here, it is time to help the Sukhoi Design Bureau to do something. With my own consent, the pressure on the top management will be much less.
In fact, before coming, Ustinov and others did not want to tear it down and start over. This is related to the speed of the Soviet Union's new fighter jets! And now, Andre is actually the first to express his position! (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
