Chapter 712 Advantages of the J-7M

Andre in later generations was born in Shenfei, so he was quite clear about the various shortcomings within Shenfei. Compared with Shen Fei, who claimed to be the eldest son of the Republic, he valued the rise of Chengfei more.

In future generations, the one who truly holds up the future of China is not Shenfei, but Chengfei!

With Andre's time travel, many things have changed. For example, Chengfei is having a harder time now than in history.

In the future, Chengfei still has at least the No. 10 aircraft project, and the entire team is working hard for one goal. But now, under Andre's intervention, the ice between China and the Soviet Union has been eliminated for several years. In order to win over China, the Soviet Union even exported its MiG-23 production line to China.

This is not the outdated MiG-23, but the MiG-23K, which represents the latest Soviet industrial technology. Apart from anything else, just look at the engine used, which is the engine used on the latest Soviet MiG-29! The thrust-to-weight ratio is incomparable, and coupled with the advantage of the variable swept wing, the actual performance of this fighter is already comparable to that of the F-14.

The MiG-23 project naturally settled in the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, squeezing out a large amount of China's funds. As a result, even the historical No. 10 aircraft project was delayed indefinitely. After all, China has limited funds. Now, with the powerful MiG-23, there is no urgent need for a new third-generation aircraft.

In history, the golden age of China's military industry was during the Iran-Iraq War, when both sides purchased large quantities of weapons from China. But what about now? The Iran-Iraq War has long ended, and neither Iraq nor Iran has imported large quantities of weapons from China.

Chengfei was having a really hard time, so when Andrei learned that Chengfei was going to participate in the Moscow Air Show, he used the excuse of being an ally to waive all Chengfei's fees for renting the venue.

Of course, that's all Andre can do. After all, he is a Russian now, and he has to make decisions based on the interests of the Russians.

However, when Andre heard Günter Rall, the famous German ace pilot in World War II, belittling the J-7 here, especially calling it a pencil, which is a nickname, not a nice one, he finally couldn't help but come to correct the name.

Judging from its appearance, the J-7 is already outdated, but no country can conquer the world relying on advanced fighter jets!

"During World War II, Germany's most advanced fighter was the jet Me262. At the time, the performance of this fighter was enough to dominate the entire air battlefield. But how many of these fighters were there? Wasn't it the main FW-190 fighter that really determined the outcome of the war?" Andre said, "What was the reason for this?"

Andre's words touched Günter Rall. He certainly knew the reason, because the Third Reich at that time had no time and no resources to use!

"Advanced fighters have outstanding technical performance, but this also means that they are expensive to manufacture and require a lot of materials. At the same time, maintenance is quite complicated. At the same time, low-end fighters have corresponding advantages, such as low maintenance costs, simple operation, and high cost-effectiveness." Andre said, "Now, the air force of any country in the world cannot be composed of advanced fighters. They must have a large number of backward fighters. When a brutal war breaks out, advanced fighters may be consumed within a few days of the war. Then, other fighters still have a stage to play. Doesn't NATO also retain a large number of fighters such as F-4 and F-5?"

Günter Rall nodded. What Andre said was very correct. It was impossible for all the troops to be equipped with advanced fighter jets. There would still be second-line troops that needed a large number of cost-effective fighter jets to maintain a certain scale.

"In my opinion, the J-7M meets this requirement. It has a low cost-effectiveness ratio and a low procurement cost. It is also convenient for training pilots. It can be used as a fighter for second-line troops and as the main force of the air force of some small countries." Andre said: "Also, although the J-7M cannot accommodate complex advanced radars, resulting in weak beyond-visual-range air combat capabilities, this aircraft is small and flexible, and its maneuverability is actually good. If you don't believe it, you can use the Tornado fighter to fight against the J-7M. I feel that the J-7M will not be at a disadvantage in close combat."

At this time, Tu Jida was already looking at him with bright eyes. Tu Jida was very grateful to the Soviet general who came to rescue him. After all, this was the first meeting between Tu Jida and Andrei, and Andrei defended his reputation in this way and also revealed the advantages and uses of his J-7M fighter.

Although the close-range combat capability of the original MiG-21 is not its strong point, the improved J-7M actually has a higher level of close-range combat capability! In addition to being equipped with aircraft guns, it is also capable of being equipped with close-range air-to-air missiles, including the domestically produced Thunderbolt series missiles, the Western Sidewinder missiles, or the Soviet-made close-range missiles!

The Tornado fighter jointly developed by Europeans is considered a heavy aircraft, and its maneuverability is not strong. If a real confrontation occurs, our side has a great chance of winning.

This General Andre seems to be very familiar with his own J-7?

Of course, I am very familiar with it. As a pilot, the normal procedure for Andre in later generations is to fly the CJ-6 first, then the K8, and then the JJ-7. After that, he will join the army and fly the two-seater model of the corresponding aircraft for modification.

The J-7 had flown for more than a hundred hours back then! Andre is quite familiar with this model. It can be said that if there is a challenge now, Andre can also fly the J-7 and compete with the opponent.

Of course, this is just a thought. It is impossible for Andre to fly a Chinese plane from a safety perspective.

While he was talking, many people gathered around him, some of them were wearing military uniforms. Tujida was very happy. There were people from Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Sudan...

It seems that these people are already interested!

"Of course, the introduction of the MiG-21 into China has turned it into the huge J-7 family, proving the excellent potential of this fighter. However, the potential for improvement of the J-7 is still enormous. I have a vision. If it can be realized, this fighter will definitely not be inferior to the third-generation aircraft of Western standards." Andre's words rang in the ears of the onlookers, shocking them greatly.
