Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1173 Help
More than half a month passed like a salted fish.

Cao Bin rushed back from Ukraine exhausted, but he came back with more than one person. Two people followed Cao Bin to find Jiang Yan.

Through the introduction, Jiang Yan learned that the two people who came with Cao Bin were named Feng Yanbin and Niu Weiluo. They were both personnel from the country who came to Damuo to purchase equipment.

Jiang Yan was naturally very enthusiastic when someone from his hometown came. In the reception room, Jiang Yan eagerly poured a cup of tea for the three of them personally.

"Minister Feng, Director Niu, I wonder what you two want to talk to me about." After being reserved, Jiang Yan asked directly and to the point.

"If it wasn't an important matter, we wouldn't have let Xiao Cao take us to find you. This time we really have no other choice." Niu Weiluo said with a smile.

When he came, he was told to solve the problems he could solve by himself, and go to Jiang Yan for the problems he couldn't solve. Jiang Yan was the real trump card to them, so how could he be dispatched easily? Moreover, they also knew that although they had the face from above to support them, favors would become thinner and thinner the more they were used. A powerful weapon like Jiang Yan must be used on the cutting edge. They did what they could by themselves.

Jiang Yan smiled slightly after hearing this.

"We are all family. Your problems are my problems. If I can't help you solve your problems, I'm afraid I won't be able to face my boss when I go back."

After hearing this, Niu Weiluo felt relieved. He didn't hear any excuses in Jiang Yan's words, and he agreed very happily.

Although the top management introduced some information about Jiang Yan when they came, they found out after arriving in Moscow that Jiang Yan's name was even more famous than described in the information. In Moscow, everyone knows him. Whenever Jiang Yan is mentioned, the other party will respectfully call him Mr. Jiang.

And in Moscow, most of the words are praises.

Considering these circumstances, they believed that as long as Jiang Yan was willing to help, the troubles they encountered could be solved. Moreover, they also knew some inside information, and some good things that had recently arrived in the country could not have been done without Jiang Yan's help.

"As the saying goes, one doesn't come to the temple without a reason. This time we are here because we want to trouble Mr. Jiang with something." Niu Weiluo thought about it and decided to get straight to the point.

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand, motioning Niu Weiluo to go ahead and say whatever he wanted.

Niu Weiluo glanced at Feng Yanbin and said, "Let Director Feng introduce this matter to you."

"Old Jiang, Director Feng Yanbin is the director of our domestic Ministry of Aviation Industry." Cao Bin immediately introduced Feng Yanbin's identity.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan's expression changed slightly. Since Feng Yanbin is the director of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, it means that there must be some aviation-related matters and he wants to ask him for help.

The first thing Jiang Yan thought about was the purchase of Su-27. Because this was the period when our country was vigorously introducing Sukhoi aircraft. Historically, in 1990, the contract signed between my country and the Russian Bear to import Su-27 fighters was regarded as the beginning of the modernization of the country's fighters. Although the Russian Bear disintegrated and no longer existed a year later, the Russian Bear inherited the main aviation industry of the former Russian Bear and stated that it would continue to implement this military procurement contract. When the country chose to import aircraft, the Russian Bear strongly recommended the MiG-29 fighter instead of the Su-27.

The reason why the Russians promote the MiG-29 is very sufficient. All the fighters equipped by the Chinese have MiG bloodline. The J-6 fighter is a copy of the MiG-19, the J-7 fighter is a copy of the MiG-21, and so on. These members of the MiG family are frontline fighters that emphasize high speed and low-altitude maneuverability, and are generally deployed at frontier airports. The range is generally only more than 1000 kilometers, and they are light combat aircraft.

Since light fighters have a low load capacity and cannot be equipped with sufficient airborne weapons and combat systems, these fighters generally lack ground attack capabilities, and most air forces equipped with MiG fighters cannot effectively cooperate with ground forces in combat. Therefore, we basically know all the shortcomings of light fighters, and these factors are the reasons why we insist on introducing the Su-27 heavy fighter.

Later, according to the recollections of Mikoyan Design Bureau Chief Designer Belyakov, although the Soviet Union initially only wanted to buy the MiG-29, during the breaks and meals in the talks, the Chinese leaders who had studied in the Soviet Union and the Soviet leaders recalled the years when the two countries moved forward side by side. The Soviet officials were infected by those passionate years, so when the Chinese delegation was about to leave, the Soviet representative suddenly conveyed to the Chinese side: The Soviet government approved in principle the sale of Su-27 to the flower growers.

However, after hearing Feng Yanbin's next words, Jiang Yan knew that he was wrong.

"Yak-141, do you know?" Feng Yanbin said uncertainly.

"I know," Jiang Yan nodded. Yak-141, such a famous thing, how could he not know about it.

The Yak-141 fighter (code name: Yak-141, NATO code name: Freestyle, translation: Freedom) is a single-seat, single-engine supersonic vertical take-off and landing fighter of the Russian Bear/Big Russia type. It is also the world's first supersonic vertical take-off and landing fighter.

The Yak-141 fighter is a new carrier-based fighter purchased for the Soviet-made Type 1143 aircraft carrier. The guiding principle of its design is to be a carrier-based interceptor and sea (land) attack aircraft, while at the same time enabling it to become a shore-based air defense aircraft. It has broken many world records for vertical take-off and landing fighters.

The Yak-141 is the world's first supersonic vertical take-off and landing fighter. Unlike the British Harrier fighter, the Yak-141 is much more capable than the Harrier. It only made its maiden flight four years ago. It can be said that it represents the highest level of the Soviet Union's current carrier-based fighters.

The Yak-141 is equipped with a multi-mode radar, but the radar antenna installed in the radar antenna shield at the front of the fuselage is smaller. The Yak-141 makes extensive use of a large number of composite materials, with carbon fiber materials accounting for 28% of the total weight of the aircraft, and other materials mainly aluminum-lithium alloys. It is equipped with advanced flight control computers. Compared with the Yak-38, the total flight weight has increased by nearly half, and the bomb load and fuel have more than doubled. In order to be able to be used all year round in the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean, the Yak-141 is designed based on the atmospheric conditions of the international standard atmosphere plus 15 degrees Celsius.

It can be said that this is a very mature vertical take-off and landing aircraft and a groundbreaking product.

It's a pity that the Yak-141 encountered such a bad thing as the disintegration of the Russian Bear. Russia itself was in a difficult situation, lacking funds, and its military purchases shrank sharply. The people almost couldn't even have food to eat, so how could they have the money to develop the Yak-141?

The Yakovlev Design Bureau managed to sustain itself for a few years with its own funds, and even hoped to attract partners from all over the world, but to no avail. Eventually the plan was terminated and the Yak-141 was completely discontinued.

In his previous life, he had heard that China was interested in the Yak-141, but he always thought it was a rumor. After all, China had never developed any vertical take-off and landing fighter jets.

Now that Feng Yanbin said this, it is obvious that the country is interested in the Yak-141.
