Chapter 1123 Want to cooperate
.Fan Wuwei has always been coveting Russia's arms industry. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to deal with many weapons and equipment, especially in terms of channels.
The domestic arms market is officially purchased. Jiangnan Heavy Industry now has no need to worry about sales, but if you consider it in the long run, you must carefully analyze the success of Russia's international arms market channels so that you can enter this market in the future and make some money and spend money.
Although Russia's overseas arms market has gradually shrunk after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and currently the annual arms exports are only 4 billion US dollars, the amount of the agreement reached between Russia and India to purchase 50 Su-3 4 He and himself assemble 100 aircraft of this model is as high as 3 billion US dollars. This shows the significance of the Soviet Union series of exports to the Russian arms industry.
In Quanshu fighter market operation, the Su Yidao family accounts for 14% of the share, while Su Ren's designer, Sukhoi Design Bureau, hopes to increase this share to 20% in the near future.
The British "Jane's Defense Weekly" once analyzed that it believed that the Russian aviation industry was entirely supported by the hard currency earned by the Soviet Union's family. According to the Russian government's own estimate, by 2015, the Russian military's procurement will only absorb about 10% of the entire military aircraft industry's output. That is to say, more than 80% of Russian-made fighter jets must find foreign buyers. In the past five years, the Russian Air Force has not even purchased a new aircraft.
At present, Russia's next fighter development work also depends on the export performance of the Soviet Union. The shortage of funds is the biggest problem that has plagued the development of new Russian aircraft models. The Russian government can provide $2 billion in development, but experts believe that this money is only enough for project planning.
The Sukhoi Design Bureau plans to fly the fifth-generation fighter jets in three years, but this requires about $10 billion in research funds. The bureau said it will raise $5 billion, which means that they will sell at least 120 Sukhoi series aircraft in the next two years.
Even according to Western standards, the Su Blade series is also the best among the third-generation fighter jets. If the performance of the weapons they are equipped with is not considered, Su Yidao and the Su Blade have their own advantages.
In terms of flight quality and agility, Suwan is obviously better than Cangcha. At least Cobra maneuver cannot be achieved. Although many experts point out that the Soviet side enters and changes the kinetic energy when completing this maneuver, making it easy to be shot down by enemy aircraft when multiple aircraft are engaged, so it has no practical value, but almost no one dares to deny it. Suwan's maneuverability will give it an advantage when fighting in the old close range.
Su Wan's weakness lies in the range of sight combat. It is well known that the former Soviet avionics equipment lags far behind the West. The electronic equipment in the Su Bian cockpit only reached the level of the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, and the telex control system is still simulated.
In terms of fire control systems, due to the gap between computer software and hardware, the hole and blade radar equipped by Su Ren is not as good as the tire blade multi-mode radar in terms of automation and reliability. Objects similar to angular reflectors can be seen everywhere on Su Ban, the motor air inlet with rectangular cross-section, and the huge double vertical tail without exterior flare make it almost invisible.
Unfortunately, compared with the range of sight combat capabilities, the latter is the latter rather than the former, which represents the decline of the modern fighter jet exhibition. The former may depend more on the designer's intelligence and inspiration. The latter is closely related to the scientific and technological level and industrial capabilities of the entire country.
If Su Ren and Zhan can compete with each other, then after Chou, the founder of the fourth-generation fighter of the United States, was born, Su 27 was completely at a disadvantage compared to it, and was in full swing in sound cruise, stealth and electronic warfare capabilities. Even in terms of agility, Chou would be slightly better due to the thrust vector motivation.
However, it is obviously too early to say that the Su-27 era is about to end. In any case, for developing countries, the Su-Ban series is still a high-performance fighter that their own technological power cannot reach. Therefore, the role of the Su-Bank as the darling of the fighter jet market will remain for a long time.
But for the Russian aviation industry with a glorious history, this period is obviously too short. The United States has used its ugly accumulation of advanced technology to pave the way for relatively low-end joint attack fighters.
The purpose of the development is to focus on actual combat and seize air supremacy, while the joint strike fighter jets are to completely extrude the Russian and European aviation industries out of the fighter jet market. For this reason, the United States strictly limits the unit price of joint strike fighters to less than 38 million US dollars.
At present, the global order volume of joint strike fighters has exceeded 4,000, and with very few domestic orders, the Russian aviation industry will be forced to a dead end. Therefore, the Russian National Aviation System Science Director Xunerhuan said that the launch of the next generation of fighters as soon as possible is of great significance to Russian Airlines.
From the perspective of the next generation of fighter jets, the Soviet Union era is really coming to an end.
The era of determining the attributes of the new generation of fighter aircraft based on flight performance has passed. The main difference between the fourth and fifth generations is the airborne system, which further emphasizes that maneuverability has no practical significance.
Industry public opinion generally believes that the great achievements of Russian designers in consulting and development are unquestionable, but it is meaningless to continue along this path. Even Simonov, chief designer of Sukhoi Design Bureau, and the father of Su Erdao, holds a similar view. He believes that Suwan's maneuverability can meet the needs of future air combat, and the fifth-generation fighter jets no longer need to demand breakthroughs in this regard.
Simonov also emphasized the importance of airborne systems. He said that Chen and European Mirage IV fighters have been equipped with quite complete real-time reconnaissance and attack systems, which is not available to any Russian active fighter. Russia has to purchase electronic supporting equipment from the West or Israel when improving the fourth-generation fighter of Su Yigong fourth-class fighter for this purpose. Therefore, this backward situation must be overcome during the exhibition of the fifth-generation fighter.
However, Russia's fifth-generation fighter journey is destined to be full of thorns, and the difficulties mainly come from two aspects: one is the huge funding gap and the other is the institutional problem.
The fragmentation system of Russian military-industrial enterprises inherited from the former Soviet Union is deeply rooted. The two major military mechanic research giants, Migoyang Design Bureau and Sukhoi Design Bureau, have always been indestructible. Although the merger of the two companies has undergone a lot of discussion, there has been no progress so far.
In the United States, market forces have greatly promoted the research and development of advanced fighter jets in the United States. Although Boeing and Lockheed Martin also fought for a total project to the death, the winners generally subcontracted some of the contracts to the losers in exchange for the latter's advantageous technical support.
This year; month, a spokesperson for the Russian Military Industry Complex announced that the date of the tender results of the fifth-generation fighter will be postponed indefinitely, and the launch of Ross' next-generation fighter will become far away again.
Before the new Russian Sword was successfully forged, Su Ren and his family members will continue to play the role of foreign exchange cash machines, and people will continue to appreciate its shocking maneuvering performance at large and large air shows. For an aircraft born twenty years ago, its responsibilities obviously surpassed its own era.
In terms of aircraft technology, Fan Wubing has always been very enthusiastic about Russian technology. In the recent stage, the research team of the large aircraft project has also achieved certain achievements, especially in the single crystal alloys, narrow alloy components and composite materials required for aviation motivation. At present, there are no technical difficulties in the product, but the yield rate and reliability of the blank are not qualitatively improved without time precipitation.
Due to some reasons, the large aircraft project team has a relatively close cooperative relationship with the military. With the joint efforts of both sides, the research on the fourth-generation aircraft has also made certain progress. Fan Wubing has visited the prototype and has a lot of feelings. However, it feels that there is still a big gap with advanced fighter jets.
According to the plan, ground running and other tests will be conducted in the middle of next year, which will be a model of national aviation backbone collaboration. There are those responsible for the overall aerodynamic layout design, those responsible for the development of the main materials of the aircraft, including titanium alloys and composite materials. There are also those responsible for the onboard radar projects, and those responsible for their own motivations. The stealth technology of the aircraft has also been tested, which feels good, especially after obtaining the key technical data of the US stealth fighter, I have more confidence in this area and have recently conducted a simulation test of wind tunnels.
This time, the problems exposed by Su Yidao made Fan Wubing consider a possibility. If he participated in the Russian military aircraft design project, I wonder if he could get some more satisfactory key technologies?
Russia is in the most difficult time now. If you can speak Putin, you want to form a project team through military experts. It should be a good thing to work with the Russians to design the main body of the new generation of fighter jets.
In fact, through the years of efforts of Fan's Investment Group, some key materials technologies have made breakthrough progress. If breakthroughs can be made in the main design, it will be of great help to develop the fourth and fifth generation machines.
