Red Soviet Union

No, the biggest problem is that our plasma cloaking technology is just a theory so far. It may take a long time to turn these theories into reality, and our fighter jets can't wait so long. Ender Lie said: For a long time, our fighters have lagged behind the United States in terms of research and development. When the United States had the F-15 and F-16, we had just begun to develop them. As a result, we needed to use the MiG-21 and MiG-23 at hand To fight against these fighters, and after our Su-27 and MiG-29 are equipped with troops in large quantities, the opponents we face are no longer just F-15 and F-16, but American fighters. A new generation of fighters! Our fighter development has always lagged behind that of the United States. Although it allows us to set higher parameters to create an advantage, but at the same time, we have fallen into a vicious circle of competition between different generations. Now is our opportunity. The fourth-generation aircraft has already caught up, and on the fifth-generation aircraft, we will complete the development before the Americans, and by then, our strength will make the whole of Europe tremble!

I agree with General Andre's statement that stealth technology will change the future combat style, not just the stealth of aircraft, warships, and tanks, will change the future situation. At this moment, another attendant The military general spoke again.

Marshal Ogarkov, the pioneer of the digital reform of the Soviet army, made drastic improvements, and the new army has a new level of combat effectiveness!

His acceptance of new technology is the highest, and now, he is also the first to agree with Andre's claim that invisibility must come first! This technical indicator must be achieved!

Moreover, according to Andrei's description just now, Marshal Ogarkov has launched more results, not only fighter planes, warship stealth, but also has great value!

Warships seem to be quite large. Small frigates can weigh thousands of tons, and large cruisers can displace tens of thousands of tons. Such ships seem to have obvious targets, but if they are placed on the sea, they are simply a drop in the ocean. Even the Soviet Union The warships are painted with brick red deck paint, which is also difficult to spot visually from the air.

Therefore, the battle at sea mainly relies on radar, through which the opponent's traces can be found, and anti-ship missile attacks are launched. At this time, the radar reflection area of ​​​​the warship will also bring great value.

It is impossible to reduce a 10,000-ton cruiser into a small fishing boat of tens of tons. However, after the stealth design of the 10,000-ton cruiser, it will become less than 10 tons in front of the radar. A thousand-ton warship is also very easy. If it is heavily modified, it can also become the radar reflection area of ​​a one-hundred-ton fishing boat. With the reduction of the radar reflection area, the probability of a warship being discovered will be greatly reduced.

Invisibility is a term often mentioned in later generations, but now, in Andre's mouth, it is completely strengthened!

Marshal Olgakov, who has a quick brain and the best ability to accept military technology, first expressed his agreement.

With Ogarkov's agreement, several bigwigs in the military also nodded, agreeing with Andre's opinion.

Invisibility will indeed affect future battles! Not to be taken lightly!

Of course, we will not underestimate the other performances of our fighters. When engines with a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than ten appear, the maneuverability of our fighters will not lag behind, and our advanced electronic technology will also make fighters more powerful. The performance is even better. Andre said: So, in my personal opinion, I am more inclined to the Sukhoi Design Bureau's plan, and the Mikoyan Design Bureau's plan can be selected as an alternative.

In the research and development of the fourth-generation aircraft, the Su-27 and MiG-29 were carried out at the same time. The design goals of the two fighters are different. The Su-27 is a long-range heavy fighter, while the MiG-29 is a front-line fighter. The two sides have different centers of gravity. , and when it comes to the development of the next generation of fighters, it is impossible to start the research and development of the two fighters at the same time. The cost is huge, the risk is huge, and we must go all out. Therefore, the heavy-duty fifth-generation fighter plan is for the Soviet Union to concentrate all of its own aviation industry and focus on research and development. s project. And after the heavy-duty fifth-generation aircraft is developed, the development of light fighters can be started on this basis.

Andre made it clear that he supports Sukhoi's project.

Andre's support is only one aspect, and the final decision is not up to Andre, but Andre's statement will play a key role in the final decision.

Of course, it may be too early to determine which plan and when, so I also have some suggestions. Andre thought for a while, and continued: These two fighters can be further developed. The aerodynamic shape is determined, the overall structural plan is determined, and the actual wind tunnel test and model comparison are finally selected. For example, at the end of this year, another plan discussion will be conducted and the optimal selection will be made.

Andre's words stunned the people of the Mikoyan Design Bureau. Andre's attitude towards the Mikoyan Design Bureau is obviously not as good as his attitude towards the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Simonov has formed a deep friendship. Therefore, for this report meeting, the people of Mikoyan Design Bureau knew that the prospects were not good. Especially just now, Andrei has expressed his support for Sukhoi's plan.

But now, Andre gave them time again to further determine the aerodynamic shape and the overall plan. The extension of this time is beneficial to them!

Andre was also extremely emotional, and he was also very sad about the decline of the Mikoyan Design Bureau in history. In the decades after the birth of the Republic, almost all the fighters of the Republic belonged to MiGs. Andrei had no personal prejudice against the Mikoyan Design Bureau, he was just discussing the facts.

Moreover, the canard layout is also the layout method of an advanced third-generation aircraft of the later Republic. Although Andre said that the best canard is on the enemy's aircraft, but that was Andre's work in the Sukhoi Design Bureau. What I said when I was going to build a three-wing fighter, whether the canard layout is suitable for the Soviet next-generation fighter still needs further demonstration.

If the proposal of the Mikoyan Design Bureau wins in the end, will a Soviet black silk belt be born?

Finally, I have another proposal. Andrei said: Our next-generation fighters are related to the defense of our Soviet future sky. At the same time, the technical difficulty has also greatly increased. No matter which design bureau wins, it can Assign a certain amount of tasks to the design bureau of the other party for joint research and development.”
