Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 495 Past and present life!

A few hours later, Xu Ye and his party arrived at Komsomolsk-on-Amur River. The Dragon Country of the Amur River is called H Longjiang!

Here is a world-famous aircraft manufacturing plant, named after Gagarin, the former Soviet Union's and the world's first astronaut.

This factory not only has a long history but also brilliant achievements.

Even after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, this aircraft manufacturing plant remains the central base of Russia's defense industry and aviation transportation industry, and has a very high status in the global aviation manufacturing industry.

Of course, this is in this day and age.

When Da Mao and Er Mao start fighting, Da Mao's last bit of privacy will be torn off.

The big Russian guy was really just a show-off. Even a second Russian guy was beaten into that state.

If it weren't for the last bit of fear about its nuclear weapons, Russia would have been divided up long ago.

But Xu Ye knows this clearly, but others don’t know!
Even if he told it to others, no one would believe it.

The fear of the Russians is ingrained in the genes of old Europeans, and many of them grew up under the shadow of the possibility that the world could be destroyed at any time.

How could I not be afraid?
Besides, even if the Russians have their last bit of privacy torn off, as long as they have those nuclear bombs in their hands, would you be afraid?
Moreover, for Longguo, a declining Russia is far more beneficial than a strong Russia.

There is no other way. The two countries are not only adjacent to each other, but also have such a long border. From a geopolitical point of view, this is the best!
Just think about the situation of China before the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and you will understand it immediately.

Even if we take a step back, if the Russians really had no shortage of money, would they sell the Su-27 and Su-30 series all over the world?
Don't even think about it!

"How does it feel?"

After his eyes shifted away from a Su-30MKK that was flying away and had not yet been painted, Zhao Yang turned to Xu Ye and asked.

“Big and good!”

Xu Ye was not arrogant and spoke truthfully.

At least, in this era, no aircraft manufacturer in Longguo can compare.

Whether it is "Sukhoi" or "Chenglu Marathi", it won't work.

"However, Brother Zhao, I believe that there will be better things in our country in the future!" Xu Ye said in a firm tone.

To others, this is just a fantasy or a dream, but to Xu Ye, it is nothing more than a reappearance of "history".

Moreover, it should be earlier!
"I think so!" Zhao Yang nodded, "I hope I can see this day before I retire!"

He is a cadre and he still has more than 20 years before retirement. That should be enough time, right?
After all, everyone knows that although the Russians have a strong foundation, they have always been relying on their past achievements and their development speed is not fast.

In comparison, although Longguo's foundation is much weaker, its development speed is very fast.

Twenty years or so should be enough to bridge the gap between the two.

Hearing this, Xu Ye sighed inwardly and said firmly: "Brother Zhao, you can do it!"

I don’t have any thoughts of despising Zhao Yang, but the gap between Dragon Country and the world’s advanced level is really huge now.

No one thought that Longguo could maintain high growth for decades.

The mentality of Chinese people is often not confident.

After all, our benchmark is Europe and the United States, to be more specific, the United States!

In 2003, the gap between the two sides was really despairing.

Some people ran away, but more people chose to persist!
It is precisely because of the persistence of these people that Dragon Country has become the biggest opponent and threat in the eyes of the United States in the past decade.

Big Russian?
Unless the Russians dare to start a nuclear war!

But, it is obvious that this situation will never occur as long as the United States does not commit suicide.

Everyone knows that nuclear weapons are most powerful when they are on the launch pad!

"If you say so, then I'll wait and see!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yang said with some anticipation.

When others said this, Zhao Yang just took it as comfort and polite words. Zhao Yang subconsciously chose to believe Xu Ye's words.

Even though the two sides have not been together for a long time, there is great trust between them.

If he didn't trust her, would Zhao Yang dare to let Xu Ye fly the Su-27? Would he dare to let Xu Ye fly the Su-27? ...

Of course, this was allowed by the commander of the C Division, but if an accident really happened, Zhao Yang would definitely be affected.

Fortunately, Xu Ye did not let Zhao Yang down and showed him what top pilot talent is!

Otherwise, there would be no such trip to the Russians!

"The time may come earlier than you think!" Xu Ye said in a firm tone.

After saying that, everyone in the car had gotten off, and Xu Ye and the other man hurried to follow.

Who says foreigners don’t like to be entertained?

Looking at the red carpet not far away and the beautiful Mao girl holding flowers, Xu Ye felt a little emotional.

I have to admit that Maomei was really beautiful when she was young!
However, once you get married and have children, and your youth is gone, the speed at which you gain weight is almost like forced obesity, creating a huge contrast!

Of course, Xu Ye just glanced at it without any lingering gaze.

Who knows if there is a "swallow" in it?

The former Soviet Union has collapsed, but the famous "Swallow" will not disappear.

Therefore, Xu Ye had no intention of learning a foreign language.

Besides, he doesn't need to learn a foreign language. The English used worldwide is more authentic than the authentic London accent.

Even Russian, Xu Ye had already learned most of it when he was at the Air Force C Base last time!

After that, although Xu Ye did not practice deliberately, he also reached a proficient level.

This level of Russian is more than enough for daily communication.

The welcoming ceremony that followed was extremely grand and solemn.

An airplane costs more than 30 million US dollars!

If there are twenty-four aircraft, that would be nearly ten billion US dollars. If anyone in the purchasing team hints at that, the Russians will definitely make sure that everything is arranged comfortably.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Kingdom is not a member of the White Elephant Kingdom, so we respectfully decline this offer!

The Gagarin Aircraft Manufacturing Plant really attaches great importance to the Dragon Country purchasing delegation.

Xu Ye also knew the reason. The Su-27 and Su-30 series fighter jets were not only used by the Russians themselves, but also exported to China, and later exported in large quantities to countries such as White Elephant, Monkey, Indigo, and Malaya.

After all, Longguo is already exporting, so it wouldn’t hurt to export to a few more countries.

For the Russians, who are having difficulty in economic development, making money is not a shame.

After all, if they don’t sell, there is only one outcome waiting for them - bankruptcy!

When things are difficult, one must think of change, and thus the country's most important weapons such as the Su-27 and Su-30 series were exported.

The Su-30 series was developed based on the Su-27. The first Su-30 fighter was modified from a Su-1984UB two-seat fighter by the Gagarin Aircraft Manufacturing Plant in 27, before the disintegration of the former Soviet Union.

However, when the former Soviet Union collapsed and began to sell fighter jets for survival, the first Su-30 fighter jet business was won by another aircraft manufacturer, the Irkutsk Aircraft Plant.

After all, during the Soviet era, technology spread domestically, and those who understood it understood it.

As for who the buyer is?

Of course it is the White Elephant Country in the world’s arms procurement industry!
Most of the time, the White Elephant Kingdom held a hostile attitude towards the Dragon Kingdom.

Originally, the White Elephant Kingdom's aircraft were more advanced than those of the Dragon Kingdom.

He is more powerful than you. With Bai Xiang's personality, he will naturally not be honest.

The rest is anyone’s guess.

At that time, we were far behind and often returned empty-handed.

However, all this changed suddenly after China introduced the Su-27 series fighter jets from Russia.

The Dragon Nation is leading in the air force. How can the White Elephant Nation tolerate this?
Obviously impossible!
So the white elephant followed suit.

Compared with the treatment of the Dragon Country, the White Elephant has no such worries. The United States and Russia, two major countries, serve him alone.

As long as you have money, you are welcome!
Compared to the Dragon Country, which bought an aircraft carrier hull that was ready to be destroyed, the White Elephant Country was able to import the entire set.

Whether it is Europe, America or Russia, there is no problem at all.

Therefore, after the White Elephant Country came to China and wanted to buy a fighter jet that was more powerful than the Su-27, the Su-30 was officially born.

The Irkutsk Aircraft Factory was so poor after the collapse of the Soviet Union!

Faced with a white elephant waving money, how can you resist? You have to take it down.

Su-30, 30 is bigger than 27, right?

So, isn't it natural that the Su-30 is more advanced than the Su-27 imported by China?

The Irkutsk Aircraft Factory, which was forced into a corner, learned the art of deception without any guidance!

Therefore, the Gagarin Aircraft Factory's previous improvement plan was directly used on the Su-27UB two-seat trainer aircraft that had been in production for many years.

Some advanced technologies such as vector nozzles and phased array radars were created out of nothing and installed on the newly launched Su-30MKI fighter-bomber!

The M in the number stands for "multi-functional", K stands for "export-oriented", and I is the first letter of India.

Seeing that the technology is so advanced and the price is cheaper than that of Europe and the United States, and most importantly, it is more powerful than China's Su-27, what are you hesitating about?
buy!
Must buy!
All of a sudden, White Elephant placed orders worth more than one billion US dollars.

Of course, it is natural for the White Elephant Kingdom to take kickbacks when doing business.

As for how much he ate exactly, it is unknown.

However, it is clear that the weapons and equipment purchased from the White Elephant Country have never been cheap.

However, theoretically speaking, or on paper, the Su-30MKI fighter is a pretty good fighter and is indeed more advanced than China's Su-27 fighter.

Xu Ye also agreed with this point.

However, all this is based on the premise that the fighter jet really meets the design standards.

In fact, this is a premature product that was urgently developed to make money from the white elephant.

A large number of new technologies and processes that have not been tested over time were used directly without any 100% testing. Coupled with the White Elephant Air Force's tradition of crashing planes, it was really a mess.

Of course, that’s all later!
The Gagarin Aircraft Factory on the other side was so depressed when they saw that it was actually possible to do this and that it was successful and they made a lot of dollars.

You copied me, and I was the one who passed on the production technology of Su-27UB to you, but you didn't even leave me a drop of it. I can't tolerate this!
I also build Su-30!

So, a Su-27UB two-seat trainer fighter jet used for testing was replaced with a high-end-looking LCD screen, the weapon mount was also modified to increase the mounting capacity, and even the fighter radar, which was widely criticized by the Russians, was modified!

However, there is no problem in changing the radar, but you can't replace it with a phased array radar that has not yet been successfully developed, right?
After this series of operations, a new fighter jet numbered "Blue-302" was produced.

As for the target customers?

Of course it’s Dragon Country!
After all, the White Elephant, which you had pinned to the ground and rubbed hard and had always regarded you as an enemy, specially purchased more advanced Su-30MKI fighter jets, and you must keep up!

Of course, they were afraid of angering White Elephant and ruining that big deal - after all, White Elephant had many channels to choose from to import weapons!

If you dare, don't blame me for being rude!
Then, then I won’t buy it from your house!

Therefore, the simplest model of this Su-30 fighter, whether it is the fuselage, engine, or even the flight control system, cannot be said to be exactly the same as the Su-27UB fighter, but there is basically no difference, and it was eventually shelved.

There was no way, the Dragon Kingdom was poor at that time!
However, Sukhoi gave up, but Gagarin Aircraft Factory did not.

It's simple, they have to live!
Of course, compared to the inexperienced and greedy White Elephant, the Dragon Kingdom is not so easy to fool!
The desire to replace some equipment and add more missiles based on the Su-27UB is obviously unacceptable to the Chinese country.

Therefore, Gagarin decided to truly develop a brand new two-seat fighter-bomber based on the Su-35UB.

Of course, this Su-35UB fighter is still developed based on the Su-27.

There is no way, the Su-27 has such an advantageous foundation!
The new fighter plan did impress the Chinese country, so it adopted a large number of composite materials, new alloys, and added fuel tanks. It eventually became a big guy with a take-off weight of "38" tons and a bomb load of up to 12 tons, which is 30 tons heavier than the White Elephant's Su-4MKI.

The memories in his mind let Xu Ye know that in this secret contest, Bai Xiang suffered a crushing defeat!
Of course, it is impossible to say that the SU-30MKK purchased by China is perfect!
After all, it took only nine months for the aircraft to complete its first flight!
Slow work produces fine work. If you rush it, there will be some problems, big or small.

But there was no way, this was the most advanced fighter jet that Longguo could buy at that time.

If Xu Ye remembered correctly, Longguo purchased a total of 100 aircraft of this type in three batches!
Of course, this also includes 24 Su-77MKK30s equipped with forward-looking infrared, optoelectronic, and laser target indication pods, which can use R2 medium-range air-to-air missiles for use by naval aviation.

And this time, if nothing unexpected happens, the order for these 24 aircraft will be finalized.

When he thought about the fact that he could actually participate in this "historical process", Xu Ye couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Xu Ye's understanding of the past and present of the Su-30MKK2 fighter allows him to make a more accurate judgment.

"Oh my goodness, you use this trick again!"

After the tour accompanied by the factory staff, the group took a brief rest before being taken to the banquet hall. Xu Ye could not help but mutter something under his breath.
