Su-33? What a joke! The third brother really likes the lion's big mouth! There are not yet future generations. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia was so poor that it sold everything. It was just like this that the Su-27 family series spread to the world, and Sukhoi also made a lot of money. At the same time, Another aviation giant, Mikoyan, was eventually reduced to the fate of being merged.
Now, it is still the peak of the Cold War. Although the Soviet Union has achieved an absolute advantage, the current main force of the Soviet Union's Homeland Defense Air Force is the Su-27. This fighter will never be exported by the Soviets, just like the Su-27. 15, it is completely self-produced and used.
However, now is the time to export three generations of machines, otherwise, the market will be robbed by the United States! For example, isn't the US just selling their f-16 to Asan?
In fact, Asan will definitely not buy the f-16. First of all, their opponent Pakistan owns the f-16 and buys the same aircraft. Then in the future, when fighting, they can't visually confirm the enemy and me. Moreover, the fighter aircraft The performance is well known by the other party, which is definitely not a good thing!
Besides, Asan's current air force system is either from the Soviet Union or the legal system, and then importing American aircraft will aggravate the chaos in terms of logistical maintenance. It’s okay to say that the dry Soviet fighter jets will fail even more when operating US-made precision fighter jets. Just look at the future king of Asan.
The Su-27 cannot be sold. However, the Soviet Union wants to **** the world's fighter aircraft market, and also has political purposes. Then, the Soviet Union must export a third-generation aircraft!
Look left and right, of course, the MiG-29 is suitable!
Moreover, the MiG-29 was also manufactured as a carrier type at the beginning, but it failed to compete with Sukhoi. The Navy needs a long-range aircraft, but the MiG-29 has short legs.
The fourth generation of the Soviet aircraft is under intensive development. Now, it is logical to export the MiG-29 of the third generation aircraft.
"The Su-33 is too bulky and inconvenient to operate." Andre said: "After being placed on the warship, the number of storage in the hangar is very small. Therefore, it is not suitable for the carrier, and we are also on a large aircraft carrier. I only operate Su-33. For you, MiG-29k should be more suitable. If you are interested, come down and we can arrange for you to visit our MiG-29k. Simply put, if you are on an aircraft carrier If you can put 20 Su-33s on it, then you can put 26 or 7 MiG-29k. For the aircraft carrier, it is the king that can dispatch more aircraft. Moreover, the hangar of the Kyiv-class aircraft carrier is based on the The MiG-23k is designed to be very similar in size to the MiG-29k."
Andre proposed MiG-29k! This made the Indians stunned. In fact, they were looking at the Su-33! However, what Marshal Andre said seems to make sense?
"Also, your land-based fighter jets should be upgraded, right? If you import our MiG-29k, it can be matched with the land-based MiG-29, which will reduce the logistical burden." Ender Lie said: "For your navy and air force, this is the best choice."
Historically, after the MiG-29 was equipped with troops in 1983, in 1986, the MiG-29 series of fighter jets flew to Cuba, the former Czechoslovakia, the former East Germany, India, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Poland, Romania, Syria. , Yugoslavia and Malaysia and other countries exported in large quantities.
Therefore, it is logical to export to India now, and, in order to increase the weight, Andre put forward a condition: "If the number of MiG-29s you finally ordered exceeds 200, we can even Consider exporting production lines to assemble this aircraft in your aviation group."
Output production line! This of course has more ramifications for an India trying to be self-reliant! With the dream of a great power, India wants to produce its own weapons no matter what! Now, if the production line of the MiG-29 is exported to India, then India's plan to develop its own LCA fighter jet will definitely be aborted. At the same time, India will no longer be able to import fighter jets from France! Two hundred, this number is almost the size of the largest third-generation aircraft fleet that India can afford in this era!
If you export the production line to Huaxia, you must be cautious. Huaxia, relying on its powerful copycat capabilities, will soon throw the Soviet Union aside and produce it by itself! However, if it is exported to India, it doesn't matter. Everyone knows India's industrial capabilities. Exporting to India is actually just producing a machine! Engine avionics, fire control, and water must be imported from the Soviet Union. At the same time, it also satisfies the pride of the Indians, why not!
Especially now, Pakistan has obtained the Super Seven fighter jets. In name, Pakistan invested funds and participated in the joint development of this fighter jet! In theory, Pakistan can also build its own aircraft, and the production line of this aircraft will eventually be exported to Pakistan.
And now, India also has a production line to produce its own MiG-29!
In fact, it is not the first time that India has purchased production lines from the Soviet Union. India has its own production line of MiG 21. It was 70 years ago. The Soviet Union gave a full set of technical materials and aided the construction of factories. -21r, reconnaissance type modified by pfma; MiG-21mf, multi-purpose type, production was not terminated until 1987.
Now, it is also possible to give the production line of the MiG-29!
Hearing Andre's words, the eyes of the Indians present were full of joy. This is a major event. They cannot decide immediately, they must evaluate carefully, and they can only make a decision after seeing the MiG-29. After many rounds of negotiation, a reasonable price was determined, but now, their eyes have betrayed them, and they will not refuse!
The conversation with the Indians went well. Andrei continued to talk about the Soviet Union's attitude on the South Asian issue. He reiterated that he had many strategic interests with India. The two sides continued to cooperate to contribute to world peace and maintain the stability of the Indian Ocean. exist and would not pose a threat to India.
After the talks, some staff will take them to Mikoyan to conduct further consultations on the projects they are interested in. And for Andrei, the matter has come to an end.
