Super military empire

"What we need is a super strategic bomber with large ammunition capacity, long range, and capable of carpet bombing the enemy, not the Tu-22. This type of bomber, although also a strategic bomber, can have a combat radius of more than three in the high-altitude domain. Thousands of kilometers, plus the range of cruise missiles, the combat radius can even exceed 4,000 kilometers or more, but this kind of bomber is not suitable for us at all. It is enough to equip a part of it to threaten the aircraft carrier fleet..." Liu Yijiu I know it's difficult to explain.

But he was still explaining.

He wanted the map-22m for this purpose. In order to use this strategic bomber capable of supersonic high-speed penetration to high-speed American imperialism after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. As a target!

Instead of letting the Republican Air Force equip the bomber fleet as large as the Soviet Union.

The Tu-22m is very useful for the Soviet Union. The long combat radius allows this strategic bomber to attack all European countries except Portugal and Norway. If refueled by air, it can also take off from the Soviet Arctic base and attack the United States. After the target, fly back to the domestic base.

This strategic bomber is also the fastest flying speed among the bombers currently listed in the world.

The threat to the US aircraft carrier fleet is the greatest.

"We should first solve the problem of presence or absence, and then improve, design more powerful fighters..." Xia Fei's attitude represents the attitude of many leaders of the Republic.

Especially for high-level military officials, for them, these problems should be solved first.

Yes and no, these are two things, and only equipped with troops can make the enemy frightened.

Even the equipment is not equipped, no matter how powerful weapons and equipment are, it is not terrifying enough for the enemy.

"The ten backfires obtained from the Soviet Union are our solution to the problem of existence. For our country, there are three fleets, the North Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. There are three in each fleet direction. After all, our enemy is not Several aircraft carrier battle groups may be used to come to our territorial waters..." Liu Yijiu's idea is simple."What we are thinking about is how to obtain the greatest deterrence at the cheapest price. Our Air Force does not have enough funds, and the research fields are too wide!"

Liu Yijiu wanted to tell these technicians and Xia Fei and others that after entering the 21st century, the Republic bought back from Ukraine the Varyag aircraft carrier with its weapon system removed and only its shell left. The aircraft carrier is fixed, so that this aircraft carrier can truly exert its strength. India, which has always been inconsistent with China, purchased three Tu-22m3 from Lao Maozi. These three strategic bombers used to threaten the aircraft carrier were designed to deal with China’s Varyan. Grid number.

Similarly, Asan's strategy has also achieved results.

Lao Maozi is looking to sell more weapons and equipment because of the economic downturn. They have sealed up a large number of backfire bombers in China, with m2 exceeding 170 and m3 even more than 200. These gadgets have to continue to upgrade in response to the economic downturn. For the old Maozi, it is a very huge pressure.

Even Lao Maozi hoped to sell it to the Republic, even with the production line, the Republic eventually refused.

Because the Republic does not need the backfire of the Tu-22m series.

"Actually, the Tu-22m is a contemporaneous product from the Liuye we use. The imitation model of the Liuye, that is, the Soviet Tu-16 bomber, has now begun to retire on a large scale. If we continue to imitate the Tu-22 reverse Fire, then, the two domestic bombers are backward things..."

Liu Yijiu's tone was full of helplessness.

There is a choice, he will not do such a thing, and the high-level military of the Republic will not have such an idea.

"Why did the Soviet Union retired the Tu-16 but not the Tu-22? Doesn't this mean that this bomber is more advanced than the Tu-16? The m-series is not only redesigned, but also improved..." Xia Fei could not agree with Liu Yi The argument of nine.

The Tu-22 Backfire has threatened the Republic for so many years, and if there is a chance to equip this kind of strategic bomber that is not easy to defend on a large scale, and is much more advanced than the most advanced Liuye in the country, how could it be so abandoned?

"The maximum ammunition capacity of the Figure-22m series can reach 24 tons, but at such a level, it is impossible to carry out supersonic penetration! When performing supersonic penetration, the maximum ammunition capacity is also It’s only 12 tons. Our H6 has 9 tons of bombs..."

The biggest highlight of Backfire is the supersonic penetration capability.

The ammunition is really not big enough.

"The reason why the Soviet Union did not retire the Tu-22 Backfire series and continues to make improvements is not because this bomber is sufficiently advanced. First, they need to threaten the huge US aircraft carrier fleet; second, this strategic bomber. It’s more windy than the Tu-16, especially the variable swept wings..."

Why did the Tu-22m series not be retired in the Soviet Union and Russia as early as the Tu-16, the main reason is the supersonic penetration capability of this bomber.

The United States has always been the country with the largest aircraft carrier fleet in the world, but they have no way to enter the seas surrounding the Soviet Union because of the existence of such wars that are not easy to defend.

"In that case, if you do it like this, if you research out the technology, if you don't use it, isn't it a waste? Why don't you just use this fighter and research new ones?" Long Yaohua also frowned.

Expends a large amount of funds to research the technology, and finally the technology is shelved.

This is totally waste.

Liu Yijiu shook his head, "How many years has Liuye studied? How many technical results have been achieved?"

Whether Long Yaohua or Xia Fei, he lowered his head sadly when he heard this.

It is not that the aviation of the Republic does not work hard, but that the Republic has no foundation before!

Research on airplanes also started after the introduction of many technologies from the Soviet Union after the establishment of the Republic.

"The progress of Liu Ye's research is not great, not because of other things, but our insufficient accumulation of technology! Although the Tu-16 and Tu-22 are products of the same generation, the two bombers do not have much similarities at all, only more With more technology accumulation, we can make more progress in technological breakthroughs. Whether it is the aviation industry, the design and manufacture of various equipment of the army, and the navy, the same is true! Not to mention, just our current This is the most obvious example of a new generation of fighter jets, because while we are developing our own fighters, we are also studying the technology of advanced fighters from the United States and the Soviet Union. Finally, we digest and combine their technologies, and we have our own technology. ..."

Merely copying, or developing its own industrial system in accordance with a certain country's scientific and technological system, will make the copying country always chase the standards of others.

How to develop in the next step, without its own technical system, is simply not clear.

Even with its own system, it is not easy to catch up.

The Soviet Union and the United States are the most obvious examples. Except for some crazy designs, most of the conventional military equipment, the Soviets are chasing after the Americans, catching up, and falling behind.In order to catch up, it is possible to invest more in a shorter time.

Therefore, the cost of the Soviet Union is much higher than that of the United States.

It is not a problem to have a huge economic base that can support high expenditures.

The problem is that the republic now has less military expenditure every year, rather than criticizing people.

Before the reform and opening up, most of the Republic's fiscal revenue was used to develop military industry and related technologies. After the reform and opening up, most of the fiscal revenue was used for economic infrastructure.

Although the funds of the Ninth Academy are sufficient, as more and more high-tech projects are launched, the expenditures will become larger and larger, hoping to get money from the military?

This is not much possible.

Even if it is researched out, it is impossible to make high profits like weapons and equipment sold to foreign countries.

The Dragon Guard tank is the most obvious example. Sold to foreign countries, the price is more than 10 million soft sister coins. The Republic’s military purchases only 6.5 million, and it has to include various supporting missiles!

"It's up to you! We have to see what exactly you are going to come up with." Faced with Liu Yijiu's rhetoric, Long Yaohua and Xia Fei couldn't argue with him anymore.

It is impossible to equip Tu-22m on a large scale, at least not now.

Liu Yijiu will not agree, and the technology will not even be fully studied.

There is no such possibility at all for fighters like imitating the F-14.

The use of defensive strategy in national defense, Liu Yijiu's idea, is most in line with the national defense strategy.

"Chief, don't worry, sooner or later, we will have a strategic bomber that is no worse than the Soviet Tu-95 and Tu-160!" Liu Yijiu assured with confidence.

The military industry of the Republic will continue to develop with the rapid improvement of the overall industrial level.

"How is the missile issue?" Seeing that Xia Fei could no longer continue the discussion on the fighter bomber, he directly asked Liu Yijiu what they were most concerned about.

The imitation F-14 lacks medium-range air-to-air missiles.

"The technical information has been sent to the Ninth Academy. Some of the technical experts from the Ministry of Aerospace Industry have cooperated with us. They should be able to get these out in a very short time. Even if they can’t, they brought back 20 r-77s. The finished product of the missile should not be a problem when it is used in the flight test of a fighter equipped with a weapon system." Liu Yijiu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it is no longer required to imitate the Tu-22m bomber, it is a good thing.
