Chapter 683: Give a number

The number of the Air Force is not given randomly. Any fighter aircraft will be numbered only after the Air Force is in service. The total number of fighter jets now only reaches the J-8. The J-9 has been destroyed and the J-10 The number given to the current Raptors.
Super seven is different, because when it was developed, it was determined that it is a foreign trade aircraft, and this aircraft is aimed at export.
Although there are sidelines, although it looks like a third-generation aircraft, because the body is too small and the potential for improvement is small, it is not favored by the Air Force.
Comparing the J-10 and Super VII, of course, you have to choose the J-10. After all, they are domestically produced, but the Super Seven is different. Its engine is imported from Eagle Country, and it will be at risk at any time.
Therefore, no one has ever thought about giving Super Seven a number, the Air Force’s number. You can’t just give it casually.
In later generations, there is only one special case, the F-31. This aircraft has a random name. This is the number 6601 assigned by itself and has nothing to do with the Air Force.
When this aircraft was developed, the Air Force did not pay any attention. The Air Force could not be equipped with two stealth aircraft at the same time. After all, it is not a wealthy Eagle country, and there is no such thing as a high-low match. No matter how cheap it is, it is more expensive than the J-11 Much.
With this number, it sounds good, and you can also go to the navy, what if you can board an aircraft carrier? After all, the Navy’s stealth machine has not yet arrived.
Now, Qin Guan's face is solemn: "This is my personal request. Please the Air Force can support our North Industries Corporation."
The North Industries Corporation has always been supporting the Air Force. So many outsourcing projects and export projects have been achieved through the North Industries Corporation. If there is no export of more than seven, the 6611 Institute will not have a stable source of funds. It is impossible to make progress in the imitation of the new fighter, after all, the Air Force has invested too little.
Now, it is time for the Air Force to feed back the North Industries Corporation.
I heard General Zhang's expression cautiously: "Mr Qin, what do you say?"
President Qin suddenly made a request, and of course the Air Force would take it seriously.
The whole dinner was quiet, everyone looked at Qin Guan.
"Of course it is for the export of Super Seven." Qin Guan said: "For example, the last time the date palm came to the country, we sold them Super Seven, but they didn't care at all. Instead, they ordered a batch of J Seven. You know this is Why?"
Qin Guan asked this, and someone immediately answered, "It must be because of the engine."
Super-7 engines need to be ordered from Eagle Country. This is a huge flaw. Those who have a bad relationship with Eagle Country must consider whether there is a risk of being restricted by Eagle Country in the future.
"This is just one aspect." Qin Guan said: "The other aspect is that Super Seven has not been purchased by the Air Force. It is a fighter that does not even use our own country's air force. How can others rest assured? Even the Holy Nation would like We have made a report and hope that our air force can purchase a batch and use it together with our air force."
Generally speaking, fighters that are purely sold abroad will end badly. The representative of this is of course Northrop's F-20 fighters.
During the second-generation period, the Eagle F-4 fighter was favored by many countries, and the export volume was good. However, it is a heavy-duty twin-engine fighter with a high operating cost. Some poor countries cannot operate it. From.
At this time, Northrop took this opportunity and developed a single-engine light F-5A freedom fighter. Subsequently, the F-5E was launched with the principle of improving avionics and strengthening air combat capabilities, and maintaining the original simplicity, easy operation and maintenance.
The result was a great success. Since its development in 1955, the number of F-5 series aircraft equipment has reached 2,600 and sold to 32 countries, mainly F-5A/B, F-5E/F and other derivatives for various countries to modify. Types are widely used in the third world. It can be exported, a big reason is that people have the US Air Force serial number, this flicker, that is, the US Air Force aircraft, it is easy to sell.
Now, if one wants to sell the Super Seven, the best way is to announce to the public that due to the advanced performance of the Super Seven, the low purchase unit price, and various benefits, the Han Guo Air Force decided to purchase a batch. At the same time, It was also given its official air force number.
As long as you declare that it is enough to the outside world, then you will be fooled when you go out to sell.
Now, Super Seven has already received orders from the Holy Nation and the favor of the David Nation, but these two countries alone are far from enough.
It is difficult to sell the later Super Seven because the third-generation aircraft are outdated and have reached the period of the fourth-generation aircraft. This type of aircraft is not very advanced and has not much market.
Rich countries look down on it, poor countries can’t afford it, and they can’t afford it.
But it's different now. Now, before the 1980s, the third-generation aircraft has just emerged. This aircraft has a vast market space.
Seizing the opportunity to sell Super Seven to many countries, or even to Europa, to make a fortune. This is Qin Guan's main goal. In this way, he needs the support of the Air Force.
Qin Guan briefly stated his point of view.
We don’t need the Air Force to actually purchase it. If someone comes to visit, then paint the prototype here and put it on the Air Force base. However, we need the Air Force’s approval and an Air Force number.
This request of Qin Guan, of course, is not excessive. It is not necessary for General Zhang, the commander of the Air Force, to speak. General Zhang, who is in charge of military industry research and development, said: "This is okay. We can give Super Seven a number. What do you want? It’s ten, why don’t you give a J-11 number?"
Going along, the J-9 has been abandoned, and further back, it is the J-11's turn.
Hearing General Zhang’s words, Qin Guan shook his head:
I think the number of the J-11 seems to have a master. When we get the Tomcat over and copy it ourselves, we must give it a number.

J-10 and J-11 were all significant numbers. Qin Guan didn't want to occupy these two. After speaking, he glanced at the Air Force Commander with apologetic eyes. Don't blame me for troubles.
These two numbers are gone. Next, there will be J-12 and J-13. You know, these two numbers, like J-9, are all occupied.
The J-12, that is Li Xiangyang in the air, is an unrealistic guerrilla light fighter. It uses aerial artillery to fight and has no electronic equipment. After all, the body is too small.
Of course, it is not useless, if you use it to change the drone, it would be good.
The J-13 is a light fighter developed by the 6601. It has been planned since the 1970s. However, relying on their strength, it is difficult to build a fighter similar to the F-16. Later, it was decided to survey, map and simulate. After the Blue Shark, the J-13 is the same as the J-9, and it's nothing.
From this point of view, the 6601 is pragmatic. For them, the safest thing is to send force against the J-8 and engage in air intake on both sides.
"Or, is it called Jian XIII?" Qin Guan said.
