Chapter 1612: Gifted

Tan Zhenhua reminded him that General Liu suddenly remembered a major event-in 1991, the year the former Soviet Union declared its disintegration, the "Flying Leopard B" project was officially launched.
In this plan approved by the Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and in charge of Xijing Aviation Industry Group, two key models have been developed, namely the two-seater version "JH-7BS" and the single-seater version "JH-7B". The seat version of "JH-7BS" focuses more on multi-tasking capabilities, and the technology adopted is relatively mature, which can be regarded as a major upgrade of "JH-7A"; while the improvement of "JH-7B" is more radical. The level of informatization and automation is higher, the air crew has also changed from a two-person system to a single-person system, and special optimizations have been made for air superior tasks.
If you use one sentence to describe these two types of fighters, then the development goals of these two types of fighters are slightly different. The "JH-7BS" can be considered as "an attack aircraft with a custom air capability." "JH-7B" is "a fighter with the ability to attack opposite targets."
The development progress of the two types of fighters is also slightly different because of the complexity of their improvement work. Among them, the "JH-7BS" has the fastest progress. The first prototype flew for the first time in mid-1994. Several adjustments and improvements have been made, and the final subject verification flight before finalization has been implemented. It is expected that the country’s finalization permit will be obtained by the end of this year. According to the information from the Aviation Industry Corporation, the production of the old "Flying Leopard" will After the implementation to the end of batch 06, a total of 144 aircraft were produced, and then the production line was upgraded. Starting from batch 07, the production of "JH-7BS" will be shifted. At the same time, Xijing will also develop a set of engines, avionics, flight control, and The upgrade kit including the radar system is used to upgrade the "JH-7A" to the "ABS" state one after another.
The "JH-7B" has a slightly slower progress due to the need to make major adjustments to the airframe structure (two-seater to single-seater). However, the first prototype has already made its first flight in mid-1995. According to test pilot Huang Bingxin According to the evaluation, this type of aircraft is the most powerful, most maneuverable, most sensitive, and most powerful aircraft he has flown. There is no one!
Okay, Huang Da’s evaluation is not entirely true. Everyone knows his deep feelings for this type of fighter. Not only is he the chief test pilot of the "Flying Leopard" series fighters, he has also been shot down by someone in an exercise. The metric F-16s that some people boasted so fascinatingly, they even carried out combat missions over the South China Sea for a short period of time, and played with the "visiting" Annan "Su-22" and "MiG 21" several times. "Mouse game" and make the opponent want to die... To tell the truth, if it weren’t for strict control over firing, Huang Dacheng thought that his record would have to be 4 or 5 stars, just the radars that Annan equipped back then. The old plane without warning device, I am afraid that until it is beaten down, I still don't know who did it.
The entire "Flying Leopard B" series will undoubtedly provoke the backbone of the Chinese air and naval aviation forces in the future. As the former naval commander, General Liu has a very deep affection for the "Flying Leopard"-you know, At the beginning, but with his firm support, the Navy saved almost every piece of steel from the teeth before finally securing the project. Facts have proved how wise the Navy’s decision was — at least better than the Air Force’s vision. Much stronger.
Well, General Liu, who thought of this place, couldn’t help but examine Tan Eryi with his eyes carefully up and down. In other words, at that time, the second kid had just started to fledgling, and the little money in his pocket had just been sufficient, so he dared to do it. I took out most of the assets to bet on the "Flying Leopard" project with only a wooden model-and that model was later changed according to his request, saying that this kid is the most bold in China, I am afraid that few people will. disagree.
However, General Liu's thoughts do not stop there-he clearly remembers that in the "Flying Leopard B" plan submitted by Xijing that year, three new models of aircraft were clearly included!
The Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense approved two of the models to formally set up the project. The one that was not approved was the one that General Liu himself felt particularly pity and regret at the time. On the basis of the "JH-7B", Develop a "JH-7BH", a real, fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft!
However, he also knows that although "JH-7BH" has not been formally approved by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and has no official status as a national project, under the promotion of several major factories in Xijing, the Ministry of Aviation at the time, and Tan Zhenhua, this project has It has been developing in the name of "international cooperation" and "export model"-although everyone knows that on this planet, countries that already have or plan to own aircraft carriers will never be able to purchase carrier-based aircraft from China, so This "export model" is definitely a model of selling dog meat, but you say, who will pierce this layer of window paper?
A slightly more normal person can analyze it. If you pierce this layer of window paper, you will offend Tan Zhenhua himself, the Ministry of Electronics, the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Navy. Furthermore, that is to offend the entire Huaxia military, do you think this person can survive?
Although General Liu always remembered the "JH-7BH" fighter in his heart, on the one hand, after he went further, his work became more busy, and it was difficult for him to worry much about a project that was not on the subject of China's "national" brand; On the other hand, with long-term leadership experience in the field of defense science and industry, he also knows that for Huaxia, which has never engaged in carrier-based aircraft, there are too many and too complicated technical fields to break through in this type of fighter, and it will never be possible overnight. , It’s even harder to expect smooth sailing, and to be precise, it’s not just a fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft, but a complete set of "ship-machine interaction system". This kind of project does not last for ten or eight years. Yes, don’t expect substantial results at all...
Huh? and many more!
Counting days, five years have passed since the project was officially launched. Tan Zhenhua suddenly mentioned this project at this moment, right?
General Liu suddenly felt that his heartbeat had some signs of being out of control.
Then there was a burst of ecstasy, and, a touch of clarity.
Because Tan Zhenhua told him that the first prototype of "JH-7BH" has been assembled, is undergoing final testing, and will fly for the first time this month!
Time is just right!
As he knows, Tan Zhenhua can always use the right way at the right time. Solve the right problem.
It's as if all this is already in his plan and timetable.
For example, the "Zheng He" and "Zheng Chenggong" that suddenly appeared during the "3.14" naval battle, the eight "Flying Leopard" fighters that were transferred to Lingshui Airport ahead of time, and the two dredgers that arrived after the naval battle. ...
What should be used to describe Tan Zhenhua's ability?
Well, recently there is a word that has become popular with the introduction and broadcasting of a Hollywood movie "Superman"-super power, this kid, doesn't he really have any talent?
