C705 Push Destroyer Eight into the International Market
They walked into the 112 factory together and on the assembly line of the factory. A J-8 2 was in the process of assembling as it looked at the plane. President Koo's face was full of pride. "After we proposed the J-8 2 project, all the researchers and the technical backbone of the factory, he said. We fought day and night on the frontlines. Now, our airplane... After two months, we will be the first to fly. Although we didn't make it to the National Day Ceremony, it can be used as a New Year's gift. I'll give it to the motherland."
This sentence sounded quite proud, but Qin Guan frowned. "In other words, it's still an Empty Shell?"
What? Two months later, this plane was only an outer shell. There were still a lot of equipment that had not been installed. Even the tail was empty.
Hearing this, President Koo's face was filled with shame. "We are waiting for the new 114 radar. At the same time, we are also waiting for our modified engine. However, we can definitely fly first before the New Year."
Qin Guan continued to ask, "What about the electronic flight control? How is it going?"
Hearing this, President Koo was even more speechless. How should he put it? Currently, he was still in the midst of research.
Looking at this Empty Shell fighter aircraft, Qin Guan also had an anxious expression. He originally planned to bring this plane to Parthia, but now, at most, he could only perform a static demonstration. Then what use was there?
It simply couldn't attract the other party's attention. This time, he was going to trick them into selling the plane. In history, this plane had never been sold before, and he was going to break through to zero.
In other words, there was nothing at all!
"Is there anything that can fly?" Qin Guan continued asking.
Can fly? Hearing Qin Guan's question, President Koo thought for a while and said, "Then we only have the prototype, but that's the engine's inlet."
"En, then this one will do." Qin Guan said, "Where can we find it? Find one for me."
"They are still in Flight Test Institute, carrying out the following flying test." President Koo said.
From J-8 to J-8 2, it was actually another huge leap, because right now, even the prototype of the J-8 had not completed the test flight yet!
In history, although this plane had started designing in the 1960s, just the double release version of the MiG21 had been implemented for a long time. After it was created, the test flight time was even longer.
From 1969 to 1979, a total of ten years of test flight had been carried out. Ruined! - A total of 1025 jumps, a total of 663 flight hours, solved a series of technical problems at the end of 79, finally, the test flight was completed. However, after the Equipment Department team... There were still big and small problems.
Now, it was really difficult for them to improve the 6601 J-8. On one hand, they needed to test out the flying J-8, and on the other hand, they needed to improve the J-8 2. It was indeed tough on them.
President Koo was also running back and forth. He wanted to go to Flight Test Institute and participate in the test flight of the J-8. He also had to come back from time to time to research and develop the J-8 2 Project. Especially at this critical moment, they were incomparably nervous.
"Alright, then I'll make a trip to Flight Test Institute." Qin Guan said, "Sign for me and give me a J-8."
"What do you want?" President Koo asked curiously.
"I'm going to use it to trick the people of Parthia." Qin Guan said, "This is related to the survival of 6601."
Qin Guan said it very seriously. Now, each of the Systems had a new project. Their elder brother had declined instead. Of course, they were not satisfied. However, even if they were not satisfied, there was nothing they could do. They could only continue to work hard. Now, if they could sell it... That would be great.
However, that was still a test flight. He didn't even know if he could fly to Parthia. Could he do that?
Qin Guan had been to 6601 airplanes. It had only been less than two hours since he left this place. He came and went in a hurry. On the plane, Qin Guan kept thinking about the past.
J-8 had many nicknames. For example, the domestic media called it the handsome man in the sky, the western called it the minke whale, and at the same time, it also had a nickname, Peace Pigeon.
In that era, the technology of Han Country was quite backward. Although the aircraft could achieve the desired performance, the Electronic System could not be used.
At that time, after the J-8 2 was successfully finalized, the Air Force suggested not to use the plane. Hence, the plane was finalized and stopped production.
The important reason why the Air Force did not want the plane was that the 208 radars' performance and reliability were too poor. Also, the middle-range Air to Air Missile in A-4 was stopped midway due to various reasons, which caused its combat effectiveness to be greatly reduced.
Hence, the finalized J-8 2 only produced a dozen or so equipment for the Air Force Experiment and Training Center to undergo training. Furthermore, due to the long period of insufficiency in the aviation system and the accompanying weapons, it obtained the nickname "Peace Pigeon."
Fortunately, it was a Honeymoon Period with the Y Country at that time. Therefore, a plan to use the Y Country's aviation system to modify the Han Country's fighter aircraft had appeared. This was the model of peace.
As everyone knew, the result was that the people of the Y Country made a fool of them.
After the pain, he rolled up his sleeves and continued to dry. This time, he found the people of Bear Country. They used the "8 II radar, 563 conductivity, external bus control, and Head-up Display system of Bear Country to completely remodel the J-8 2. He had achieved his goal.
Not only could it carry all kinds of advanced Air to Air Missile, but it could also carry all kinds of attacks on the ground. He had finally armed J-8 2, but it had already been 2000 years. At this time, the Air Force had long looked down on this kind of plane. Moreover, there was no market demand overseas, even if it became J-8 2M. In the end, this type of airplane was unable to spread its wings and fly.
The key was still the delay of time. Now, it was only about to enter 1980. If it could be developed now, there would still be an export market.
Coconut Jujube Country did not need J-8 because their territory was small. Just J-7 was enough. However, Parthia's territory was huge. There would still be a large market for J-8 2M.
In the past, Qin Guan might not have taken a fancy to J-8 due to various reasons. But now, when he thought of exporting it, Qin Guan made his own choice and pushed it to the international weapon market!
The body of the J-8 was after all bigger, and it carried more ammunition. Even the powerful Anti-ship Missile could be carried. After changing into a new radar, its performance had also been greatly improved. As it was the foundation of the Second-generation Aircraft, therefore, the cost of building it was cheap. Now, it was a suitable starting point. It also allowed the J-8 to successfully enter the International Arms Market!
He would first use the Parthia to test the waters.
Unfortunately, the development of the 6601 research institute is too backward. If I want to catch up with the progress, I will have to use the system to help!
If it is the most suitable, it is not the J-8 2M, because it is using the electronic equipment of the Bear Country. It belonged to the system of the Bear Country, and the Parthia belonged to the system of the Y Country. If the J-8 completely adopted the navigation system of the Y Country, and could launch the missiles of the Y Country, then... That would be much easier.
