Chapter 336 Visit the MiG Design Bureau
"Welcome to Moscow." China is related to the entire Far East strategy of the Soviet Union. In order to prevent China from turning to the United States, it is necessary to strive to promote arms sales to China. By selling fighter jets to China, it will alienate China from the United States. Therefore, facing China's visit, the Soviet Union also attached great importance to it. Defense Minister Ustinov came to welcome China's inspection team in person.
The leader of the Huaxia team is also the Minister of National Defense, which is considered that the specifications have not neglected Chinese friends.
General Xu stretched out his hand and held it into the hands of the Soviets opposite. After nearly twenty years, senior officials at the level of defense ministers of the two countries once again held their hands together!
This is a time to celebrate!
Andre stood behind and shook hands with the people in front of him. Most of them had met in China. This time, when he met again in Moscow, Andre had a special feeling.
This arms sales will definitely be achieved! China needs advanced fighter jets, and its own side can just meet China's needs. The reason is that simple!
"We first go to the nearby air force base, where there is a MiG-fighter jet regiment, which can show you the outstanding performance of our fighter jets." After the greetings between the two sides, Marshal Ustinov said.
"We are very satisfied with your MiG-fighter. Now, we want to go to the MiG-design Bureau first to take a look at the MiG-production line." General Xu said: "We want to see how MiG-drawns from the production line. Whether our existing domestic production line can produce MiG without large-scale modifications."
The statement was very clear, just to look at the production line! Ustinov and Andre were very curious about the customer's request, but they still agreed.
Is this a trick of playing hard to get? No, I said I was very satisfied when I came up. It depends on the production line? Could it be that they have made it clear that the F-16 is not suitable for their equipment? But even so, it should be important to the art of negotiation. Or have you overestimated the ability of these people to deceive?
The convoy headed towards the Migoyang Design Bureau outside Moscow. Most of these people actually came here less than 20 years ago. The situation changed and now I see everything around me again, and many people sighed.
The Migoyan Glevic Design Bureau is a famous aircraft designer and manufacturer in the Soviet Union. It was established by Artem Migoyan and Mikhail Glevic in 1939. Since designing the first Migo-1, this design bureau has begun its own career. In the era of jets, the Migo Design Bureau is even more famous and ushered in its brilliant legend, including Migo-21, Migo-, Migo-25, Migo-27, Migo-29, Migo-31. Each one is quite classic!
However, as time goes by, both Migoyan and Glevic have passed away. Now, the one who masters the Migoyan Design Bureau is Rostislav Apolosovic Belyakov. After graduation, he joined the Migoyan Design Bureau to work as an aeronautical engineering design. Later, the young Belyakov was appreciated by Migoyan. In 1962, Belyakov was appointed Migoyan's first deputy. After Migoyan's death in December 1970, Belyakov, who was 51 years old, naturally became the chief designer of the Migoyan Design Bureau.
In this position, Belyakov worked diligently and contributed his strength to the Soviet national defense cause. Today, he received news of a visit from a Chinese friend, and he was also very excited. Now, the J-5, J-6 and J-7 flying in the sky of the Chinese are all masterpieces of the Migoyang Design Bureau, and the corresponding models of the Migoyang Design Bureau are the same as those of the Migoyang Design Bureau. With this exchange, the fighter jets of the Migoyang Design Bureau will fly in the sky of the Chinese again!
Moreover, Belyakov also had dates with Shen Fei's General Manager Tang and Cheng Fei's General Manager Song. At that time, Belyakov organized manpower to help China become familiar with the production of MiG-21.
Times have changed, and this time, the two sides met again, and they all felt countless emotions in their hearts.
"Welcome to our Chinese friends." Belyakov said to the visiting Chinese staff: "We are very happy to teach our MiG-production technology to our Chinese friends."
"This time we mainly come to see the production line. Our country has not much capital. If we can transform our original production line and produce MiG, we will save a lot of valuable funds." General Xu said.
"Okay, then I'll take you all to visit the factory," Belyakov said.
Production of fighter jets sounds very complicated. In fact, just like producing cars, they are also assembled from parts. Aircraft factories generally produce fuselages, engines, avionics and various equipment, and have supporting manufacturers to produce them.
"Our MiG-, similar to MiG-21, uses aluminum alloy as the main frame structure, and titanium alloy as the bearing structure in key parts." Entering the production workshop and seeing the body frame that is undergoing aluminum ingot cutting, Belyakov introduced while walking: "So, you can use the original equipment to produce MiG."
The factory is very tall and you can see the busy figures of workers. In fact, although production aircraft is also called assembly line production, most of them are hand-assembled by workers, especially after the body is formed, installing various equipment is completely the task of technical workers.
After all, fighter jets are not cars. Even if they have large outputs, there are only hundreds of them a year. Only under the war system can the annual output exceed 500.
"This is our assembly workshop." Belyakov continued to walk forward and led everyone to the factory behind.
When they saw the plane in the assembly workshop, Andre suddenly felt a little shocked. No wonder they came straight here as soon as they got off the plane!
The Migoyang Design Bureau’s main task is to develop the MiG-29, and MiG- can only be regarded as a transitional product. Therefore, now we are only carrying out the original MiG-term improvement plan according to the new MiG-mla standards, and there is only one new MiG-produced MiG-k!
Now, the MiG-K is being installed in the factory! This dual-engine carrier-based fighter jet! This type of aircraft is not sold to Huaxia. Obviously, the Chinese intelligence department learned that it has a two-engine deformation of MiG-! Therefore, he came to the MiG-Design Bureau and used the name of investigation to prevent the Soviets from hiding it! (To be continued.)
