"Comrade Belyakov, how is the stealth capability of this fighter?" Andrei asked.
"We plan to use plasma stealth technology, so there is no need to question the stealth capability of this fighter." Belyakov said: "We are fully confident that this fighter will become the most powerful in the history of our Soviet aviation. Fighter."
Research on plasma technology has been carried out by the Soviet Union since the 1960s. Although the Soviet Union's research in this field far exceeds that of the United States, this technology is only a theoretical technology after all, transforming theory into practice. , it takes time.
"Sorry, I want to know, do we now have the industrialized samples needed for mature plasma stealth technology?" Andrei asked.
"This is not yet, but our technical research has been going on. After our fighter is developed, it will definitely mature." Belyakov replied.
"So, what if the technology doesn't mature?" Andrei said: "I don't think it's realistic to put the indicator of stealth on a plasma technology that hasn't been translated into a tangible industrial product. This kind of product has not been developed for a long time. So, how can our new fighter jets deal with American stealth planes? Moreover, even if they are developed, they may not be suitable for aircraft assembly. As far as I know, if we want to generate plasma , the energy required is very large, and our fighters may not be able to afford it. What do you think?"
Belyakov was stunned for a moment. What Andrei said was actually correct to a certain extent. This technology may break through, or it may stay put. In fact, in the process of development, they did not give much thought to the issue of stealth, because it sounds a little far-fetched.
"Sorry, General Andrei, we feel that even if this plasma generator cannot be produced, our fighters have other outstanding properties and will not be at a disadvantage against American fighters, and the Americans have been What stealth capabilities are advertised may just be a strategic deception, and we don't believe the Americans can have that kind of technology," Belyakov said.
"Really?" Andre's face became a little ugly. As the chief designer of a design bureau, his eyesight was so short-sighted, and he thought that American technology was just flickering?
What should Andre say? F-117, will be able to complete the test flight this year and equip the troops? It is very likely that the Americans will use this cross-generational weapon to rewrite the course of the war in the next war?
"Comrade Belyakov, I feel very sorry for this." Andrei said: "In short, stealth is a hard indicator. If a fighter cannot achieve a breakthrough in stealth and meet our requirements, such a fighter will , is not in line with the future needs of our aviation force. And the standard of stealth that needs to be achieved, this heavy fighter, the radar reflection area needs to be the same size as a helmet. Regarding this indicator, I will discuss the new generation of fighters in the Ministry of Aviation Industry. It was put forward at the meeting to determine the performance data. This is a rigid target that must be achieved. Moreover, I will also report to Comrade Andropov in this regard.”
"General Andre, is stealth really so important? The United States cannot meet the standard you mentioned." At this moment, a designer next to him asked dissatisfiedly.
"Sedov, don't be rude." Belyakov said quickly. This designer is his assistant and the chief engineer of a new generation of fighter jets. Of course, they were all appointed by the design bureau. These plans are also It's all done by the design bureau itself.
"Comrade Sedov, whether stealth is important or not, you will see in the next war." Andrei said: "For our designers, it may be insignificant, but for the aviation troops on the front line. Say, it means the difference between life and death! To ignore this indicator is a serious dereliction of duty.”
Turning his head, Andrei said to Ustinov: "Comrade Marshal, we should not only focus on the development of our own stealth aircraft, but also on the technological development of the discovery of stealth aircraft. I propose that we need to pay attention to the development of stealth aircraft. We will make great efforts to improve and improve the accurate detection of wave radar."
"Andrei, what do you mean?" Ustinov looked at Andrei, he had never seen Andre so stubborn before.
"Maybe, in the next war, we will encounter the threat of stealth aircraft." Andre said: "On the battlefield, despising the existence of the enemy means death."
As a front-line pilot, and as the commander who launched several successful battles, Ustinov also paid great attention to Andrei's words.
Thinking of the MiG 1.44 prototype of later generations, in order to reduce the complexity, it still adopts a semi-buried design, which shows how much the designers do not value stealth! This is also because the Americans have a good degree of secrecy about stealth technology, so the Soviets do not pay attention to it, thinking that Americans are not so strong, if they know that the United States now has planes that can fly freely in the sky without being detected by radar. , will they still be so calm and calm?
The Soviet Union is not a second-class country in Europe. It is self-righteous to develop a typhoon, a gust of wind, etc. The Soviet Union is a big country that can rival the United States! In the development of the fourth-generation machine, we must not lose to the United States!
Andre knew that singing a white face in Sukhoi and a black face in Mikoyan would definitely make many people unhappy, but Andre believed that all of this was for the Soviets and the future sky!
If these people from the Mikoyan Design Bureau accepted Andrei's suggestion and improved it, and the product developed was even better than Sukhoi's product, Andrei would not mind supporting the Mikoyan Design Bureau, but stealth Indicators are rigid and absolutely cannot be compromised!
After saying this, Andrei still tried his best to change his image in the Mikoyan Design Bureau. He said easily: "After talking so much, I'm a little hungry, Comrade Belyakov, we can have a working lunch here. Is it? We will pay for the meals ourselves, and we must implement the clean government policy formulated by the general secretary.”
"Of course." Belyakov said: "It's just that it's noon, and we don't provide vodka here."
Having said this, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Andre suddenly felt a sense of ignorance of enmity and hatred. Could it be that he and the chief designer in front of him didn't know each other? (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
