Chapter 715 Super Seven Project

Joint research! Of course, Andre also had this idea!

Chengfei can't handle this kind of major modification project alone. With the participation of Mikoyan Design Bureau, the risk is quite small. For Mikoyan Design Bureau, it is useless to modify the MiG-21 alone. There are so many better options. It will never develop an outdated second-generation aircraft. It is beneficial to both sides to mobilize some retired personnel who developed the MiG-21 to come to China to help.

What are the benefits to the Soviet Union? Helping Chengfei improve the J-7 will it squeeze out part of the Soviet military aircraft export market? For example, Egypt might have ordered MiG-29 from the Soviet Union, but now it has ordered the J-7. Objectively, its own customers have been lost!

If you look at it this way, the Soviet Union seems to have suffered a loss, but these countries are actually countries that cannot afford fighters like the MiG-29. They want to order the MiG-29, but they are also in arrears of various payments. Now, they buy the J-7, although the Soviet Union only gets 30% of the profit, but in fact, the Soviet Union gets much more than 30%. The engine and avionics are all exported by the Soviet Union. In these aspects, the Soviet Union also has to share a part of the profit! So, in summary, the Soviet Union did not suffer a loss. On the contrary, it can grab more market share and deepen its relationship with China, killing two birds with one stone.

On the other hand, what Andre could not say was, of course, the strategic arrangement!

In the south of China is Pakistan, a country that maintains good relations with the United States. Afghanistan is still unstable and chaotic now. It was Pakistan that instigated and instigated the downfall of a country that was originally pro-Soviet. Fortunately, China had made arrangements in advance and taken down Iran. China does not care what happens in Afghanistan.

However, Pakistan is also a problem that we must solve. How to solve it? War is not omnipotent, and we do not need to fight a major war.

Then, it is necessary to solve the problem politically and economically. Among them, making a breakthrough through China is one aspect!

Pakistan's economic strength is weak, so even though Pakistan purchased F-16 fighter jets from the United States, they cannot replace their fleet. In order to confront their arch-rival India, they need to maintain a fleet of a certain size. As the J-6 fighter jets continue to age, they need new fighter jets.

Andrei, who came from later generations, certainly knew that Pakistan had no other way except to seek help from China. China had good quality products and low prices, and had a good relationship with them. Historically, China had exported a certain number of J-7s to Pakistan. At the same time, it also jointly developed the Sabre 2 project with Pakistan, which eventually developed into the JF-17 fighter.

This is a foreign trade product. Pakistan provided the capital, China provided the technology, and with the help of foreign companies, the initial Sino-US honeymoon was with Grumman, which used the F404 engine. Unfortunately, this project was full of variables. Later in the 1990s, it was Mikoyan, which used the RD33 engine and finally developed the Xiaolong. At this time, nearly 20 years had passed since the entire project was launched.

There were many disputes at that time, the main one was with Grumman. Grumman wanted to take the lead and asked Chengfei to send the J-7 to them, and put the F20 nose on the front of the J-7 to make it work. Chengfei, on the other hand, didn't get any technology, so of course it wouldn't agree.

Now, Andrei has directly set the tone that the technical personnel of Mikoyan Company will go to Chengfei. In this way, the main body of the research and development will still be Chengfei, and Chengfei has no reason to refuse.

At that time, Pakistan was the main investor in this project, and now, there happened to be a sucker outside, the Egyptians, who were very interested. As long as they could negotiate well, they could trick Egypt into investing. In fact, it didn't need to be too much. The labor cost on the Chinese side was very low. Egypt could invest $200 million and it would be almost done.

If both sides work hard to cooperate, this major modification project will be able to enter service in less than five years. By then, Pakistan will definitely be jealous. This is the most suitable choice for them. The fighter jet, which costs 10 million US dollars per unit, has medium-range and close-range air combat capabilities, which is no worse than their F-16, but the price is less than half of it.

At that time, Pakistan would definitely submit a purchase application. It could buy it, but the engines and avionics could not be replaced, as they were still Soviet products. The weapons and air-to-air missiles of the fighter jets were definitely Soviet-made as well. The Pakistanis had no choice!

If Pakistan proposes to replace the aircraft with Western avionics, don't forget that the Soviet Union has a stake in the aircraft, and the Soviet Union will not agree! After repeated consultations, the Pakistanis will have to accept the current arrangement and use Soviet-made weapon systems.

Arms sales have political backgrounds. Pakistan uses Soviet weapons systems, so from now on it will have to listen to the Soviet Union, otherwise it will become scrap metal at any time!

There may be many obstacles in this process. For example, will the United States give F20 to Pakistan? However, I am afraid they will miscalculate. Unless they sell half of the F20 and give it away half of the F20 like they do to their own son Israel, otherwise, it is definitely not as suitable as the modified F-7 for Pakistan!

Now, it is setting a trap for Pakistan! Step by step, it is eroding the wings of the United States!

"General Andre, we sincerely hope that our project can proceed smoothly," Tu Jida said. "We hope that this project can be launched as soon as possible."

Andre only set a tone. There will be many more consultations and countless rounds of negotiations. However, the project already has great hope!

"General Andre, our project is developed based on the current J-7, but after it is designed, its combat effectiveness will be much higher than that of the J-7. Do you think our project should have a new name?" Tu Jida asked.

A new name, of course! Andre nodded and said, "I think, how about calling our project Super Seven?"

Super 7, surpassing J-7! This is a joint research and development project between the Soviet Union and China. The goal of the research and development is to export and compete for the cheap military aircraft market in the third world! No one thought that the first project achieved at the Moscow Air Show was actually this jointly developed Super 7 project! After that, this fighter really achieved the expected purpose and protected the airspace of some third world countries! Chengfei also accumulated enough experience from this project and designed a new fighter jet for China.
