Chen Fei! Chen Fei of course knew that if there was no new project, they would have failed completely. Last time, Chen Fei tried to introduce the F-16 to resist the No. 10 aircraft of Cheng Fei. As a result, in a confrontation exercise, the F-16 was beaten to the ground and the project was stranded.

Afterwards, the relationship between the Soviet Union and China began to recover quickly. At the same time, the Soviet Union sold their air-optimal fighter jets and Su-27 to China. Although Cheng Fei had developed the No. 10 aircraft, the No. 10 aircraft was a single-engine light aircraft, and China's vast territory required heavy air-control fighters. Therefore, the Soviets still had vision in promoting it.

However, Su-27 has no chance of winning in front of Pakistan's Tomcats. She has been abused by Tomcats fighter jets many times. Will the senior executives of China continue to be fooled by those people?

These are the inside stories of China and have nothing to do with Mhamad. Therefore, over the past few years, Mhamad has not deliberately asked anything. Today, he happened to have a very happy chat with the experts from Cheng Fei, so Mhamad asked casually.

When everyone heard Mhamad's question, they were stunned. Look at me, and I look at you, but no one spoke.

"If you have discipline and need to keep confidentiality, just pretend that I have not asked." Mhamad said. Chinese people have received education since childhood, and the discipline is very tight. If they have confidentiality requirements, then once they tell Mhamad, it will be considered a leak.

"It's not like this." Mr. Song said: "It's just that many times, we can't comment. You know, we can only be bystanders."

This was incoherent, and Mhamad asked, "Is Shen Fei competing with other aircraft design?"

Apart from Cheng Fei, what other competitors does Chen Fei have? Of course, Mhamad is suspicious.

"That's right." Tujida explained: "When we reversely mapped the Tomcats, our agreement at that time was to produce the same Tomcat fighter. Since our Chengfei had a relatively large mission, the plan to test-produce Tomcats was handed over to West Aircraft. After it was produced, it was not delivered to our domestic air force, but to Iran."

Tu Jida said it a little reluctantly. After all, producing such fighter jets is not equipped by themselves, but exporting them, and it always seems like making money on Pakistan.

Mhamad frowned when he heard this. This is indeed a bit out of line. At least he has the right to get notification, right? But can West Aircraft produce qualified Tomcat fighter jets?

"In fact, it is not a complete production." Mr. Song, who was standing by, quickly explained: "The wing box of the Tomcat fighter is made of titanium alloy components. Xifei cannot achieve the same processing accuracy for the time being. Therefore, the wing box part was directly brought by Iran to the components on the fighter they eliminated. Xifei produced the remaining main components. Moreover, it did not use telex operation, and it was still the original mechanical and hydraulic device, but the instrument panel in the front was updated."

It is said that it is called to produce it yourself. In fact, it is a gold-plated face. As a variable sweep wing fighter, the most important thing is the wing box part. This can be said to be the soul of the variable sweep wing. The wing box of the Tomcat fighter is made of titanium alloy and is extremely strong. In Iran, many fighter jets have flew to scrap, and the wing box is still intact.

Xifei lacks enough processing tools and advanced technology. It is impossible to process high-precision wing boxes, and uses the old Iranian wing boxes to produce new fighter jets. Moreover, it has not yet used advanced telex systems, and it is still the original technology. After hearing this, Mhamad still feels acceptable.

"Isn't Xifei producing Flying Leopard fighter jets?" Mhamad asked: "What does this have to do with Chen Fei?"

"XiFlying has long had plans to produce fighter bombers with variable swept wings. Their designer Chen Yijian has reported to his superiors several times. He wanted to knock down the existing Flying Leopard and try his best to produce fighter bombers based on Tomcat fighters. Unfortunately, the superiors have not approved it. Now, Flying Leopard has begun to deliver troops in batches. Because of the way to provide Iran with TF41 engines, the Iranians expressed their desire for more Tomcat fighters, so XiFlying produced about five." Mr. Song said: "At the same time, XiFlying also discovered that they could make such fighters in production, so he reported to his superiors that XiFlying could produce heavy fighters that were the same as Pakistani Tomcat fighters. At this time, it happened to be a critical period for negotiations with the Soviets. In this way, XiFlying and Shenfei became a competitive relationship."

Mr. Song has basically explained it clearly. It can be understood that Xifei's ambition is also very strong and he is not satisfied with producing Flying Leopards. Although Flying Leopard fighter jets were very famous in later generations, unfortunately their performance is not very advanced. For example, Flying Leopard, as a heavy aircraft, has a bomb load of only five tons, and even the f-16 can achieve this kind of bomb load.

Moreover, variable sweep wings can give bombers super-powered skills in low-altitude penetration. The Soviets' Figures 22m and 160 are all variable sweep wings.

When introducing Su-27, the top leaders were obviously hesitating. After several years of negotiations, there was no substantial progress.

"The performance of the Su-27 is not advanced, especially the strength of the body is limited." Mhamad said: "When fighting with our fighter jets, they may even disintegrate in the air due to excessive overload. Don't you know these?"

Su-27 has only excellent appearance, but cartilage disease limits the performance of this aircraft. This defect is now known to almost the world. Are those guys who are flying still fooling their superiors?

"The Soviet Union has guaranteed that the body of the Su-27 exported to us has been strengthened and the previous problems have disappeared." Mr. Song said to Mhamad.

The body of Su-27 has been strengthened? Did the Soviets' technology progress so quickly? Mhamad couldn't help but be curious. In later generations, even if it was improved to Su-30 and Su-33, this problem was not overcome. It was not until Su-35 that the problem of cartilage was completely cured.

The Soviets have improved the body now? This is not a fool, right? The defect of the body is because of the radar on the nose. This situation cannot be changed when the radar technology is not developed and the weight remains high.

Moreover, Mhamad always had one thing that he didn't understand. In later generations, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia, which inherited the Soviet legacy, was almost madly poor. It was in this case that Russia sold its ace of military products, the Su-27, to China. Now, the Soviet Union is still standing upright and there is no sign of disintegration yet. The Soviets were impatient to promote this fighter jet everywhere.

History has undergone great changes with the passage of Mhamad. Gorbachev is also carrying out reforms with difficulty. At the same time, the army has begun to develop in the direction of digitalization. Because of the bad performance of the Sukhoi Design Bureau in the Afghan War, the Sukhoi Design Bureau is no longer popular in the Soviet Union. The Soviets promoted the Su-27 in a scattered manner. Is it just to get enough profits? Or did the Soviets have a new model development plan?

"The Soviets' poorest people are just avionics equipment. If such fighter jets are really introduced and the large-scale replacement of advanced electronic equipment is a good choice." Mhamad said, and this sentence was also inspired.

"Yes, Chen Fei is also the same argument. They require domestic production to be introduced and improved, and the replacement of advanced domestic electronic equipment can better improve the performance of this fighter." Mr. Song continued.

Chen Fei? Mhamad couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart. Can enterprises like Chen Fei complete the task of improving domestic electronic equipment? It is just that they cannot fully master the technology without ten or eight years of production. Only by thoroughly understanding the technology of Su-27 can they improve. New improvements may take another ten or eight years. With this period, Western countries have long become fourth-generation aircraft.

Now, China has mastered the technology of Tomcat fighter jets based on jointly mapping with Pakistan, absorbing and digesting new Tomcat fighter jets, which is the best choice for China.

And Mhamad did not need to get involved in these internal affairs of China. Everything depends on how China decides.

Xifei wants to develop and grow, so it really wants to develop newer aircraft models. If Xifei's own variable swept-wing fighter jets can be favored by the military, it will become a key aircraft manufacturing group in China.

Mhamad is not convenient to participate in these disputes. This time, he came to Chengfei and has completed two key projects, the joint development of the new model and the joint development of the foreign trade model. Thinking of this, Mhamad suddenly remembered another thing: "We don't know how our Tea-8 project is going."

Pakistan already has many third-generation aircraft, but the performance of the trainer cannot keep up, so it must have a suitable trainer aircraft. Mhamad knew the keen eye and immediately fell in love with Nanchang Airlines' Teaching-8 project.

Unfortunately, the Jiao-8 project was limited by the engine and has been progressing slowly. Pakistan came forward to contact American companies and negotiated a project to purchase advanced small-thrust turbofan engines in the United States.

Although I was subject to US sanctions in the middle, the sanctions have been eliminated now, and a batch of engines had been purchased at that time, so the project was not delayed.

"I heard that they are doing well," Tujida said. "The trainer aircraft is not very difficult. After they have the right engine, the project is proceeding quite quickly and it is said that the test flight has begun."

"It seems that we can go there and have a look," Mhamad said. "We are still waiting for these trainers to rescue them."
