"We want this!" General Lin Hu said firmly, "MiG-29 is too dangerous."

The maneuverability of the Su-27 shocked the Chinese personnel, especially when landing on the runway and being able to watch it at close range, the smooth aerodynamic layout and dense missiles, the perfect combination of violence and aesthetics, deeply shocked all the members of the Chinese delegation present.

"This is the real fighter jet!" Xie Jianguo breathed a long sigh. 404 investment, 611's Super Seven, he saw that compared with the fighter jet in front of him, it was completely a toy. "Our Air Force really needs such fighter jets."

J-7 and J-8 cannot compare with this.

MiG-29?

That thing crashed when it shouldn't be wrong. If there was no way, who would have wanted it?

At a high price, buy a bunch of iron lumps and crash one after nothing happened. Who is so rich?

"Indeed, you should be equipped with such excellent fighter jets!" said the deputy commander of the Air Force with a smile.

The deputy commander didn't care about the pilot's failure to eject MiG-29 when it crashed in front of him.

General Lin Hu once again felt a situation that some outsiders in the Soviet Union could not know.

The original itinerary was also forced to change again because of the MiG-29 falling on the spot.

"Bastard! What's going on? Why is this happening?" Arbat's Marshal learned the news and roared, "Didn't he say that the Chinese people have the most basic version of Su-27? Why is it an improved version?"

The staff officer who reported did not know how to answer.

In fact, Sukhoi's test pilot was arranged to pilot the basic version of the Su-27 to participate in the display, so that the MiG-29's ammunition load can be compared with the Su-27.

But the problem is that Sukhoi's men violated the order and showed the most advanced models to the Chinese delegation.

"Chief, the MiG-29 crash caused a great impact. Su-27 even showed the cobra maneuver in front of the Chinese..." The staff officer said with some embarrassment, "Under such a situation, the choice of the Chinese Air Force can be imagined..."

The Su-27 performed brilliantly, while the MiG-29 crashed during the flight performance display. There is almost no need to think about how the Chinese people choose.

"Why did MiG-29 crash?"

"Migoyan Glevic Design Bureau is launching an investigation, but it is not known whether it is a human cause or a failure..." The consultant mentioned.

The marshal was stunned, then furious, "Are those people so brave?"

"Chief, we are investigating now." Seeing that the marshal was angry, the staff officer stopped talking. Anyway, his goal was achieved.

"Absolutely, you can't sell Su-27 to them!" the marshal roared, "Do you let them use our most advanced fighter jets to deal with us?"

The staff officer bowed his head and refused to answer.

Now the Chinese Air Force has not decided whether to purchase it.

"General Lin, for your air force, the MiG-29 is the most suitable one. This time it was just an accident. We equipped a huge number of MiGs, and there was no such problem..." Nikola Scobolin also hoped to save the situation and let the Chinese Air Force bring the MiG-29 back.

However, China's opinion is very clear. If you want to talk, just talk about the procurement of Su-27 and no longer talk about the MiG-29.

Seeing that the Chinese official did not speak, Alexey Philov spoke, "General Lin, although the Su-27 has a larger combat radius and better performance, it is more expensive... With the same price, your country can get more than two or even three MiG-29s. During the combat process, although performance is considered, quantity must be considered, right?"

"If we talk about the number, our air force has a sufficient number of fighter jets!" General Lin Hu said with a wry smile.

The Air Force is now facing the dilemma of high quantity and poor quality.

In the short term, quality breakthroughs cannot be achieved. If it can be developed in China, it will naturally not consider introducing it from abroad.

"The Su-27 is a heavy fighter with a performance comparable to the American F-15. The price of the F-15 has reached 65 million US dollars. Even if our government is willing to export the Su-27, how much can your country buy it? It will cost at least 60 million US dollars per aircraft... And all areas of your country have made concessions for economic development..." Alexey Philov continued.

Everything he showed was for the interests of the Chinese representative.

General Lin Hu looked gloomy.

The military is short of money.

This is an indisputable fact.

But you can't continue to purchase fighter jets with poor performance when you are short of money, right?

If it is just a front-line fighter, the procurement funds are worse than to be used for their own research and development. The MiG-29 was originally developed as the basis of the MiG series of fighters. China has already had quite a lot of experience and can design and manufacture it by itself.

The only thing missing is heavy fighter jets with larger combat radius, more advanced performance and larger ammunition load.

"General, according to our previous cooperation practices in fighter jets, as long as we purchase a certain amount of production technology and production lines, we can negotiate." Nikola Scobolin didn't talk about negotiation strategies.

Even told the Chinese delegation that the production line can be negotiated!

They must get this order from China. Once it is reached, the MiG-29 will become the main model of China's new generation. According to their estimates, the number of at least five air force divisions, even if China only purchases half of the remaining parts, the remaining ones will be provided by MiG and assembled by China themselves, will bring more than 20 billion US dollars in foreign exchange income.

The Chinese delegation was immediately moved.

The purpose of buying fighter jets is not the main one.

It is important to obtain technology, make it possible for domestic production, and improve the design based on the results, and make combat performance stronger.

"Chief, even if the MiG-29 production line is available, it will not be of much help to improve the combat effectiveness of the domestic air force. Before, the air force was only an extension of the firepower of artillery, while the development of the world air force is all independent operations, and the main force used to obtain air supremacy and even long-range strikes..." Xie Jianguo saw that the delegation was a little moved, and even had to speak out even if he planned to remain silent.

"Although the MiG-29 failed and crashed, its performance and technology were much higher than our domestic ones. This will shorten the gap between us and international level..." General Lin Hu looked at Xie Jianguo, thinking that the 404 had just bought 200 MiG-29 engines from here, and believed that Xie Jianguo's purpose was to hope that the Air Force could equip the 7th developed by the 611 Institute.

"Chief, if you really want to buy it, the Su-27 is more suitable. Our navy does not have ocean-going warships. Once the enemy comes from the sea like a hundred years ago..." Xie Jianguo reminded the general.

The naval equipment is more backward than the Air Force, and the fighter jets currently used by HNA are also very small in combat radius, and even the small pond in the South China Sea is difficult to cruise.

"We can completely research based on the technology of MiG-29 to increase the combat radius..." Someone spoke.

"The MiG-29 uses an rd-33 engine, with a single thrust of only 81.4kn, which is 8300 kg; while the Su-27 uses an Al-31 turbofan afterburner engine, with a single thrust of 123.85 kN, exceeding 12600 kg... The MiG-29's maximum take-off weight is 20 tons and its own weight is 11 tons; while the Su-27's maximum take-off weight is 33 tons and its own weight is only 17.4 tons... The practical ceiling of the two fighters is 18,000 meters. The fastest speed of the MiG-29 is slightly higher, which can reach Mach 2.35, and the maximum flight speed of the Su-27 is only Mach 2.3..." Xie Jianguo reported the various basic data of the two fighters without any pause.

And it is a comparison to allow people to understand the situation of these two fighter jets more intuitively.

"In addition, the combat radius of MiG-29 is only 600 kilometers, and the Su-27 reaches 1,500 kilometers, and there is no need to carry a secondary fuel tank..." Xie Jianguo's words silenced everyone.

It is easy to know which of the two fighter jets has the potential to improve the design, so you don’t need to consider it.

"Although Sukhoi's people wanted to sell their fighter jets to us, it was not easy for the Soviet senior management, and there was no way, right? Moreover, even if the Su-27 was purchased, the price was too high, and we could not purchase much of our limited funds, let alone technology..." The general did not consider this issue.

The Su-27 is currently the most advanced fighter aircraft equipped by the Soviet Union, especially the ability to perform complex tactical actions like Cobra maneuver. It is also at the top level worldwide.

It is too difficult to get technology.

"It is not necessarily impossible to get technology. The Soviet Union will agree to purchase fighter jets, and even the technology can be discussed." Xie Jianguo said, "Chief, we are not in a hurry now, right?"

"That's true. Only after going back to report the situation will the superior leader evaluate it based on our report..." General Lin Hu nodded and said.

This time, just for the sake of investigation, the existence of Su-27 was a completely unexpected surprise. Sukhoi's people took the initiative to find the Chinese delegation, which was completely an unexpected surprise.

Even, it is very likely that the MiG-29's fall was caused by Sukhoi's men.

"The Soviet Union's economic situation is very poor. So far, their Ministry of Defense has been dragging funds from various units. Many advanced equipment from the troops have long been equipped, and so far have been piled up in production factories. According to what we found out, they have not paid wages in the Communist Qingcheng for three months. Dozens of Su-27s are placed outside the workshop waiting for the Ministry of Defense to receive the money..." Xie Jianguo looked at General Lin Hu's eyes and said slowly. "This may be the reason why Sukhoi's people secretly looked for you."

"Their economy has reached this level?" General Lin Hu was shocked. "The Soviet Union is a country that makes the whole world tremble!"

The power of the Soviet Union is unimaginable.

Especially the exercise in the past few years made the whole world tremble and scared the United States to expand its military cooperation with China in order to win over China to fight against the Soviet Union.

In the eyes of the whole world, the Soviet Union was invincible, and even the United States was a little bit short of it.
