Although the plane could no longer take off due to engine parts problems, the entire body was intact! Therefore, the Soviet engineers had already figured out the plane and then threw it aside.

Although the fighter jets made according to the theory of energy maneuver are large overloads and advanced in performance, this type of aircraft is used as a low-end aircraft in the United States. In many cases, it will not perform air combat missions at all and will only carry bulky bombs to attack the ground. Therefore, Soviet engineers quickly lost interest in this type of aircraft. Now, the MiG29 and Su27 equipped by the Soviet aviation force have surpassed this type of aircraft in performance. Moreover, the new generation of Soviet fighters is entering the intensive development, and they have not spent more time on the -16.

And now, the opportunity is here! Egyptian President Mubarak has always liked the -16? Just simply survey and map the shape of the -16 and make a reverse imitation! The proportion is slightly reduced. After all, its rd33 engine is just a mid-push, while the -16 uses a large push. At the same time, the form of the air inlet port is changed to increase the intake efficiency at high speeds, and increase the maximum speed. After all, in many potential export countries, this kind of aircraft will be used as the main air-control fighter.

In this case, what can Chinese engineers learn? I'm afraid they have to learn from Chinese designers! When it comes to copycats, Chinese engineers are also good at it.

Drawing on mature appearance designs greatly save time and improve efficiency. This will be much different from the appearance of the later Xiaolong. However, the original Xiaolong was created after many years. There were multiple companies participating in the front and back body improvements, and the focus was on Grumman Company.

The Migoyan Design Bureau has no time and energy to do these things. It is enough to do it according to the appearance of -16, then blow a blowing air tunnel and master various parameters. Andre and Alexander have communicated with this, and Alexander believes it is feasible.

"As for snatching our military aircraft export market, I think a better statement should be called supplement. Now, our MiG21 and MiG are almost not sold very much, and the production line has been closed. We mainly produce MiG29 and Su27, of which MiG29 is a main model for our export. However, this aircraft is still too expensive compared to the brother countries of the Third World." Andre continued to explain: "They need cheaper, and at the same time, good performance aircraft to support it. This new foreign trade aircraft just meets this demand. Moreover, we don't have to spend much money anyway, and our engineers have to be given the salary."

Everyone laughed when he heard Andrei's words. At the same time, Andrei continued: "And, our new foreign trade aircraft is mainly exported to the original countries that operated US-made fighter jets. For example, Pakistan is a new market. We export fighter jets to Pakistan. From then on, we will have more say on the issue of Pakistan. At the same time, the export of this foreign trade aircraft will not reveal the original secrets of our fighter jets."

Everyone nodded, especially the last reason, which was the most complete! Seize the market of US-made fighter jets! At the same time, exert greater political influence!

Especially now, it has almost been successful. Pakistan, this country, has never been in a relationship with the Soviet Union. It is through China that it has intersections. Even if the final production is in China, or even in Pakistan, even the production of engines and avionics in its own country must be controlled by the Soviet Union!

Now, the MiG- exported to China has increased the proportion of domestic production, but the most important engine, avionics, China still cannot produce its own production and can only be imported through the Soviet Union.

"It seems that we can support this project. Now, our country is also reforming. This is the first time that this cooperation model is to absorb experience and provide more stage for the diversified development of our economy." Andropov spoke, and his speech was considered to have decided on this matter.

"Everyone, the latest news." At this moment, Gromiko, who received the news, turned on the TV in a corner of the conference room, and inside, a picture of the Iron Lady Thatcher appeared.

"Just yesterday, we got amazing news that our Falkland Islands were seized by the Argentines by force." The Iron Lady's voice was confident: "And just today, we will send our fleet to take back our archipelago! The Falkland Islands have always been our British territory! After consultations at the cabinet meeting, we have prepared for this war in a full manner! We will send the experienced Rear Admiral Woodward as the commander-in-chief of this operation. We are gathering wars, forming a special mixed fleet with the "Sports God" and the "Invincible" aircraft carrier as the core, with a total of 37 warships, 20 "Harves" fighters, 58 helicopters of various types, and 3,500 Marines. We set sail from Portsmouth and Gibraltar to use our force to resolve this dispute!"

"The Iron Lady has indeed used force, Andre, your inference is really too accurate." Andropov said when he saw the capable Iron Lady on the TV.

In the South Atlantic Ocean, there will be a war! This was a prophecy made by Andre last year. Andre analyzed the various difficulties of the Argentine military government, analyzed the character of Argentine President Galtieri, and finally concluded that if he wanted to divert domestic conflicts and gain personal prestige, he would definitely start a war! There is nothing more exciting than taking down the Cabernet Island! It is more attractive than winning the World Cup!

At that time, according to Andre's analysis, the KGB made some arrangements. Last month, Argentina's scrap hardware merchants forcibly landed on South Georgia, 1,390 kilometers east of the Cabernet Island. They established camps on South Georgia and raised the Argentina flag.

At that time, the British had no reaction and sent out old warships, but they did nothing and were driven back in shame. However, the Soviet intelligence agencies had noticed all this and realized that the South Atlantic Ocean was raising a storm.

Now, this storm has finally come!

"Yes, the British still want to show their strength. Unfortunately, two 20,000-ton aircraft carriers, carrying twenty Sea Harrier carriers, the Empire of the Sun never sets, has long been less glorious than before." Andre said.

The empire that the sun never set back then had already declined! Andrei was also filled with emotion.

Before World War II, as the empire of sunset, Britain's maritime power was extremely powerful. Needless to say, aircraft carriers, the earliest seaplane aircraft carriers, the earliest modified aircraft carriers, and the earliest built aircraft carriers were all related to Britain. Even in later generations, the Fresnel optical system for landing on carrier-based aircraft was invented by Britain, and the steam catapults that took off were also a masterpiece of Britain. At the end of World War II, the British Royal Navy, which had 52 aircraft carriers of various types, was second only to the US Navy in scale, ranking second in the world.

Unfortunately, with the decline of national strength, the defense budget was greatly reduced, and the size of the naval fleet was severely "shrinkable". In order to survive, the navy had to sell or demolish aircraft carriers. Until the 1970s, the 50,000-ton "Ark Royal" was finally retired, and the British Navy's carrier-based aviation force could be said to have its wings cut off. The Ark Royal aircraft carrier, which ejected and took off and stopped cable landing, was the most suitable carrier-based aircraft platform. The main aircraft at that time were four ghosts.

Now, Britain has only two light aircraft carriers. The Athletics was built during World War II and was almost retired and sold to India. The "Invincible" class light aircraft carrier only built its first ship, and now, the calls for no aircraft carriers in the UK are getting higher and higher. It can be said that the British's maritime power is terrible. The Sea Harrier carrier-based aircraft is even more useless.

"I think we can organize a study and observation. So far, we have never fought a war at sea." At this moment, a voice appeared in the conference room. (To be continued.)
