Chapter 1753: Bumblebee replaces Tomcat

This meeting took a long time. At the meeting, when Pellehak spoke, he was even more complacent. In the words, unspeakable confidence, their fighters were the most powerful, especially now. After the F110 engine was installed on the fighter planes, the maneuverability has been greatly increased, and the radar will also be upgraded. Their fighter planes are the kings of this era!
He even faintly revealed that on the basis of this kind of fighter, what is good about the side strips and wings if it is improved to become a stealth fighter and continue to dominate the sky in the future? In front of my variable swept wings, everything is scum!
Little MacDonald’s face is getting more and more ugly, this guy is here to provoke him, huh, isn’t it that the ghost is driving a Tomcat fighter? If that ghost flies our F-15, it might be even better.
He even regretted it a little. Why didn't he export F-15 to Han country?
Fortunately, the host of the meeting interrupted him in time. Now it is necessary to pay attention to tactical coordination and training the skills of pilots. It is not for bidding for fighters. It is useless to change the subject.
When the meeting was over, it was already night. After dinner, when the cool evening breeze came through the window, Little MacDonald came to visit.
Qin Guan knew that today's Pellehack had deeply stimulated him, which made Qin Guan's heart secretly happy that his goal was about to be achieved, and after so much preparation, it was the last shiver.
"Mr. Qin, I am very happy to meet you." Little Macdonald's face was not happy, only exhausted. On this day, the families of the victims officially began to pay the Douglas Company a sky-high compensation!
I don't know who is behind the scenes, but the people of Baixiang people actually demand compensation.
Of course, the government will come forward, and this is also slap the government in the face, but there is no doubt that they will be more and more difficult in this situation.
"Mr. President, you are the helm of McDonnell Douglas. Although we are now equipped with Tomcat fighters, it is also because of many historical reasons. We can still see that your F-15 and F-18 are both The most advanced fighter jets, especially the F-18, we even think that they have the potential to replace the F-14."
Qin Guan started talking about it from the military plane. When he heard Qin Guan say this, his eyes lit up: "You mean, our battle opportunity replaces the Tomcat?"
Of course this is what he wants to do in his dreams.
If it is external, of course he would say that his F-18 Hornet has better performance than the Tomcat, but in the eyes of insiders, it is known that the Hornet is inferior to the Tomcat.
The Hornet is built with the latest technology. It uses side strip wings and wing body fusion technologies. It uses two F404 engines and is a medium-sized aircraft.
And the Tomcat? It is a heavy aircraft. The weight of the Tomcat is more than 30 tons, which is beyond the reach of the Hornet. Especially when carrying six Phoenix missiles for air interception, this ability is incomparable to any fighter, even if it is hanging. With so many missiles, with its wings swept back, it can still fly to supersonic speeds easily.
Where's the bumblebee? It also looks very beautiful, but after the missile is mounted, it can only fly to the speed of subsonic slowly, so if it can replace the Tomcat, even the little Macdonald is not so optimistic.
Qin Guan gave him such a point.
"Yes, although the Tomcat is powerful, it is too cumbersome, costly to manufacture, and complicated to operate. Not to mention, the two-seater alone will bring huge expenses to the Navy." Qin Guan said, "At the same time, We can also see that after the bear country comes to power on the map, the conflict will be gradually eased, and the threat to the navy will gradually decrease. Many tasks can be completed by the Hornet, and the Tomcat is not needed at all. It can be said that the Tomcat can What the bumblebee can do, what the tomcat cannot do, the bumblebee can do it, and the bumblebee saves money, so, combined, the bumblebee will definitely replace the tomcat."
In the later generations, the retirement of the Tomcat has made countless cat fans regret. From then on, there will be no such chic and variable swept-wing fighter again!
For cat fans, it is a pity, but for Han, dead tomcats are good cats. Living tomcats are a great threat to Han.
All the Eagles were operating the Hornet, and they didn't feel much at first. When the aircraft carrier formation of Han State developed and the F-15 boarded the ship, they suddenly discovered that they still lacked heavy carrier-based aircraft!
There are many theories about the death of the tomcat. One of the most popular is that the operating cost of the tomcat is high. This is actually a fallacy. The operating cost of the tomcat is not much higher than that of the Hornet, or even worse than the Super Hornet. , Bumblebee looks versatile, everything is fine, but everything is sloppy, the Eagle State Navy is constantly criticizing it.
As for the maintenance of Tomcat, the working hours are indeed very high, but later, with the improvement, especially when it comes to the F-14D, the maintenance amount has been greatly reduced. In this regard, there are specific data, so I won’t describe it. In terms of maintenance savings, the single-seat Hornet really has an advantage, because the cost of the pilot is the highest with one less person, but at the same time, the volleying ability of the Phoenix is ​​gone.
It is not dead on maintenance work hours, but it is easy to use this to fool people, especially those congressmen who do not understand technology. You must know that it is Congress that decides Tomcat's life and death.
Qin Guan vowed here that the Hornet will replace the Tomcat, which made Little MacDonald's face a real smile: "Yes, this is what we expect. But what good is this for you?"
Qin Guan's words certainly made him happy, but you and Grumman are good friends. We have just met. Do you like to cheat old friends so much?
"Mr. President, of course you know that we can also produce J-11 fighters. This is all for the benefit of export. Well, there is no need to go into details." Qin Guan said.
Little MacDonald showed a knowing smile. Once the Navy wants to eliminate the Tomcat, the Grumman company's production line can no longer be maintained. As for the Han Chinese, they can make more money! These guys really value their interests. For the sake of their interests, they can cheat their teammates.
"If you want the Hornet to replace the Tomcat, the best way is to let Grumman keep moving and arouse the resentment of more people." Qin Guan continued to make a loss.
Grumman does not think that the Hornet is their competitor at all. In their eyes, the Hornet is a burden and a tasteless one. They want to lobby the Navy and Congress. The Hornet is so bad, just don't want it! If there is too much lobbying, it will be counterproductive!
