"We do need strategic bombers. However, the combat radius of Tu-22m2 is really useless, and too many of them will not have much effect." Liu Yijiu is not opposed to imitating Tu-22m2, because during the imitation process, the relevant technologies of this bomber will be continuously digested.

At present, many domestic technical foundations are much better than before because of the existence of the Ninth Hospital, so digestion and absorption are easier.

The Cross Tu-22m2 is not enough for China's long border and maritime boundaries, but Ukraine has a large number of these strategic equipment that will be taken over by Director Liu. For this goal, Liu Suxue has been there for almost ten years.

Just waiting for the collapse of the Soviet Union, and even these planes flew back for such a long way, the stopping and refueling places were ready.

Liu Suxue told Liu Yijiu not to worry about these things. He would guarantee to fly back the white swan and the counterfire, and even some cruise missiles.

Liu Yijiu himself also knew that even if these strategic bombers fly back, if they cannot successfully digest the technology and design more advanced bombers based on this, it will be useless.

In recent years, we have been engaged in basic technology research, and the basic technology in aviation related aspects has also made great progress. There has not been much progress in the top design capabilities. It has come to the time to build top design capabilities, but now it is a lot of things.

In addition, the above is obviously very fierce debate about whether to develop it themselves or introduce it from abroad, so they must first solve the problem.

Just so happens, this can also become a foundation, cultivate top domestic designers, and then modify them from the design plan to become China's own design.

Such a path is actually the path that China once took in his world, but because of Director Liu's arrival, the progress has only accelerated for more than ten or twenty years.

"If there is no large quantity requirement, wouldn't it be a waste for us to invest such a large amount?" Zhao Yunhai asked Liu Yijiu with a frown.

Liu Yijiu has a much broader path than them, and his relationship with the above should be able to understand the military's development plan.

"Yes, in this way, our hard work over the years will be in vain." Hao Hongfei also had an egg pain on his face.

You know, his political achievements were based on imitation of Tu-22m2 counterfire fighter jets. The previous tanker was hosted by Sun Daoqian. Moreover, Sun Daoqian was not transferred, but instead stayed in the technical team as the chief designer. Even Tu-22m imitation work also participated.

Sun Daoqian didn't say anything. Liu Yijiu was talking about support and was talking about how much it was impossible to produce. This is obviously a contradiction. The performance of H-6 is so poor, and the country is continuing to produce, and there are plans for improvement, because there are no more advanced bombers.

"How can we say it is wasted or wasteful? In the process of imitation, it is also a kind of learning. In this process, what we need to do is to digest foreign technology and conduct reverse research on some projects, thereby increasing our basic research strength. With a rich technical foundation, we design more large strategic bombers with a longer range. It is easier to design other large military aircraft..." Liu Yijiu glanced at several people, and they were all pursuing immediate interests.

If you only pursue immediate interests, create a design, and then use this result to seek credit from the superiors, the leader will be promoted, but the technology in the factory will not increase, but will hinder the development of the entire factory due to too much investment. This will not be a good thing.

After the next term accepts it, if you re-engage other projects for political achievements, the previous projects may end up in their lives.

Such things were definitely common in the first thirty years of the early reform and opening up of the Republic.

"Director Liu, what do you mean is that we imitate such fighter jets to supplement our basic technology and cultivate our designers?" Hao Hongfei really didn't think about this seriously.

Liu Yijiu nodded, "Of course, given that Tu-22m2 has very strong low-altitude penetration capability, this is the main executor of the Soviet Union's strategy of air-controlling seas. Therefore, when our navy cannot support the needs of national defense, this fighter with a combat radius of two or three thousand kilometers, super penetration capability and very good bomb loading capability will be a weapon for us to protect the motherland's territorial waters and deter our potential enemies..."

The Soviet naval construction was deviated, especially in the Khrushchev era, who believed that in the nuclear war environment, the survivability of surface ships was not strong enough, and the entire Soviet naval construction was mainly dominated by nuclear submarines. This way, it had stronger survivability.

The United States is continuing to invest in development in both nuclear submarines and large surface ships, thus having the most powerful naval power in the world, even the Soviet Union has to take the lead.

Under this circumstance, the Soviet Union began to implement the strategy of air-controlling sea, using their powerful air force to deal with the huge large-scale ship formations of the United States on the sea surface. The Tu-22 was designed at the beginning to bomb the United States' aircraft carrier formations close to the Soviet Union.

The combat radius of the aircraft carrier formation depends on the combat radius of the fighter aircraft carried.

A counterfire bomber with a combat radius of more than 2,000 kilometers and carrying 24 tons of ammunition, if equipped with cruise missiles, the combat radius can be completely expanded to 4,000-5,000 kilometers! This can completely block the US aircraft carrier formation at the doorstep of the US's home in the Atlantic Ocean.

Liu Yijiu once proposed this idea to the senior military leaders, and now he introduced it to Qin Fei's people in order not to dispel their enthusiasm.

"So, we actually need this kind of fighter jet. The reason why I said at the beginning that we would not need too many is mainly because our country is different from the Soviet Union and the United States. We implement the national defense policy of strategic defense, and their military power construction is mainly aimed at launching military operations around the world. At the same time, although our defense strategy will not launch military operations at any location around the world, it must have deterrent capabilities in this regard. Therefore, we need long-range strategic bombers with a longer range and a larger combat radius..." Liu Yijiu's words were somewhat inconsistent with his status.

But it made Qin Fei's people feel very comfortable, and Liu Yijiu did not hide it from them.

Even, they thought that Liu Yijiu was revealing the ideas of the superior department to them.

"So, our future is a long-range military aircraft with more advanced design performance?" Hao Hongfei was very moved when he heard it.

If it can always be accompanied by the growth of the military strength of the Republic's Air Force, even if it cannot be promoted, it will be a very desirable thing.

"What do you think?" Liu Yijiu asked disdainfully. As the director of a military aircraft manufacturer of a not-low level, can you not know this? You have to pretend to be stupid here.

"Director Liu, your research on large aircraft is much better than ours. In this regard, we cooperate with Institute 708 and Institute 611. Do you think?" Sun Daogan asked Liu Yijiu.

Only by cooperating with two aircraft design institutes under the Ninth Academy will it be more suitable for them.

The technical reserves and financial strength of the Ninth Hospital are far stronger than any domestic unit.

"These are not problems. Of course, in terms of cooperation, you have to talk to them yourself. I don't care about specific matters!" Liu Yijiu nodded and agreed that integrating the technical and manufacturing power of domestic aviation units was what he wanted to do.

But it's not time yet.

In any country, there are only two or three aircraft manufacturers that can compete. However, China has a strong foundation, but there are many aircraft manufacturers, which makes the technical strength even weaker. The original technicians were dispersed too far.

For example, fighter jets include Shenfei, Rongcheng Aircraft Factory, Guiyang Aircraft Factory, etc.

At the same time, Shenfei also involves projects such as transport aircraft...

In this way, the technical strength is obviously diluted.

Liu Yijiu has already begun to carry out operations by integrating these units. The manufacturing business of large aircraft is spread across all domestic aircraft manufacturing plants. At the same time, the production of fighter aircraft is also a domestic aircraft manufacturing plant.

"Then should we continue to imitate the copying work of Tu-22?" Hao Hongfei asked Liu Yijiu tentatively.

Liu Yijiu looked at him and smiled. This guy was too tempted. Is he still Qin Fei's factory director?

"This is a task assigned by the military leader, of course we have to continue. At the beginning, I remember that when we removed the Tu-22m2, many engineering and technical personnel from Chen Fei also participated? You can cooperate with them and integrate the technical strength of both sides. In this way, the progress will be faster. If you and them are doing their own work and construction, not only will they be repeated, but this also wastes manpower and material resources. Director Hao, what do you think?" Liu Yijiu's proposal is indeed very feasible.

It is also of great benefit to both parties.

The problem is that people don't want to cooperate with them at all.

"The technical strength of Chen Fei is stronger than ours, and they are not willing to cooperate with us. Even if they cooperate, they are the ones who are the ones they should do..." Hao Hongfei sighed.

Liu Yijiu couldn't help but feel a little painful.

Such things are inevitable in China or in the whole world.

"Director Hao, I just want to know whether you value the country's national defense cause more, or your personal future more, or your factory's future development more, or your personal future position more?" In front of everyone, Liu Yijiu asked something extremely embarrassing.
