Chapter eight hundred and forty-ninth carrier aircraft stereotypes
Are aircraft carriers behind? Of course not behind! The aircraft carrier carries carriers, which can provide the most effective air protection ring to the entire formation. At the same time, carrier-based aircraft is also a powerful strike force. Without air supremacy, there is nothing.
In later generations, the United States has always promoted the theory of aircraft carrier uselessness and advocated that other countries give up aircraft carriers. The British were deceived and created something inequality like the invincible level. The United States maintained its hegemony advantage at sea.
Now, the United States is in a dilemma. First of all, from an economic perspective, the United States' economy is constantly weakening, and without a strong economy, there will be no powerful war machines. And this time, it will allow some citizens of the United States to look at the aircraft carriers in a different way. Since it is useless, it is better to retire and save a lot of military spending! Anyway, the United States is a democratic country, and at that time, whether the aircraft carrier needs to be retained or retired will be voted on by their people.
Secondly, the United States is indeed lagging behind in military technology now. For example, its anti-ship ballistic missiles will indeed make the United States completely helpless. The United States has no means to counter anti-ship ballistic missiles, and the survivability of aircraft carriers in war is indeed low. In contrast, the Soviet Union already has the means, and the laser weapons in outer space are the killers of ballistic missiles!
Combining all factors, retirement of aircraft carriers is really a good choice for the United States!
As the head of the Strategic Scam Bureau, Marshal Ogalkov was competent, and even Andrei had thought of it. Marshal Ogalkov had already thought of it. Let the US Navy be upset.
"Well, no matter what, it is our favorite thing to do to cause trouble to the United States." Andre said: "At the same time, our long-distance voyage has also verified many technical problems. For example, the test of our catapult in cold areas is normal and can meet the usage requirements of various sea areas. For example, after comparison, we believe that the Su-27K carrier-based aircraft is more suitable for our aircraft carrier."
This long voyage also has many experimental properties, such as the carrier-based aircraft, this time it brought the MiG-29K and Su-27K. After comparison, of course, the Su-27K is more suitable for naval aircraft carrier equipment. Not to mention, the Su-27K's large range is what the Soviet Navy needs most and can perform further air defense and attack tasks.
Andre is not afraid to offend Mikoyan's Design Bureau. For the Red Navy, the Su-27K is indeed more suitable!
Hearing Andrei's words, Gorshkov nodded: "We also think Su-27K is more suitable, and after the styling, we decided to give it an updated number, such as, how about Su-33?"
Su-33, the future main aircraft carrier-based aircraft of the Red Navy!
"Of course, it's a pity that we have not yet developed a new generation of stealth fighter jets." Andre said: "The sky in the future is still the world of stealth fighter jets."
Stealth fighter! This is something Andre has always been obsessed with. After all, Andre knows the threat of stealth aircraft the most! In later generations, the Chinese Air Force has always used backward equipment to fight against advanced equipment, such as using Sixth Master to fight against the second-generation aircraft and Seventh Master to fight against the third-generation aircraft. However, in the era of the fourth-generation aircraft, it is impossible to even confrontation. It is definitely an ending to be killed in seconds. If you want to fight against the fourth-generation aircraft, you must have the same fourth-generation aircraft! Fortunately, in later generations, China finally caught up in the development of the fourth-generation aircraft!
Now, history has been rewritten, and the US Air Force has no advantage. Therefore, no matter how tight military expenditure is, the F-22 is definitely a priority project. Similarly, the Soviet Union must develop the same stealth aircraft as soon as possible to fight.
Although the F-117 is killed by the networking method of meter wave radar, there are many air defense loopholes in the vast Soviet territory, and meter wave radar cannot fully cover it. At the same time, passive defense is never as good as taking the initiative to attack!
"Now, our two design bureaus are developing the new generation of fighter jets, making progress very fast. Andre, you are in Moscow these days, so we can go and have a look together." Ustinov said: "You are also the most concerned about our air force equipment. It's been half a year, let's see our new progress!"
Andrei felt a little excited when he heard this. Yes, I don’t know how far these new fighter jets have been progressing?
Andre was originally from the Air Defense Force and his passion for air equipment was beyond anyone present.
So, after the Kremlin continued to report on all aspects of the voyage, Andrei, accompanied by Ustinov, came to the Mikoyan Design Bureau the next day.
Yes, it's Migoyan Design Bureau! Because Andre admires Su-27, many rumors say that Andre supports Sukhoi and is not optimistic about Migoyan. In fact, Andre does not have much personal preference. He just does things according to his own ideas.
Now, no matter how glorious the Sukhoi Design Bureau is, the Migoyan Design Bureau has always been the leader in Soviet fighter jet development. Therefore, Andre chose to go to the Migoyan Design Bureau first to see how the Migoyan Design Bureau progressed.
The competition between the Migoyang Design Bureau and the Sukhoi Design Bureau continues. I wonder if the engineers of the Migoyang Design Bureau have seriously considered the importance of stealth design and cannot place all their hopes on unreliable plasma stealth technology?
With this idea, Andrei accompanied Ustinov and others to the Mikoyan Design Bureau.
Belyakov, the chief designer of the Migoyan Design Bureau, was anxious and waiting for Andre and his group to arrive. Just this morning, he already knew that in the competition for the Soviet Navy carrier-based aircraft, the MiG-29K lost to Su-27K, and the Su-27K received the Su-33 number and became the carrier-based aircraft of several subsequent aircraft carriers of the Soviet Union. This shows that Andre has always supported the Sukhoi Design Bureau. So, this time Andre came to the Migoyan Design Bureau first, will he make some criticisms again?
Belyakov was speculating in his mind that since Andrei's position among the Soviet senior management is unshakable, it can be said that if Andrei dislikes his new fighter jets again, Migoyang's future life will be sad. Will the Migoyang Design Bureau become a bag company in the future and will attack Sukhoi? Or go abroad to make some low-end aircraft to cheat money?
But... stick to principles! Of course, Belyakov will not change his attitude as a designer. What he thinks is correct is to keep going firmly!
"Welcome to inspect. After the guidance of General Andrei last time, we conducted extensive argumentation and finally confirmed that General Andrei's opinion was correct. Therefore, we redesigned the appearance of our MiG 1.42 fighter jet." Belyakov said: "Now, we have created a complete prototype, one of which is undergoing static tests and the second aircraft is still being assembled."
The appearance was redesigned! Belyakov said, and took Andre and others into the workshop. At this time, on the test bench, the silver-shining fighter jet stimulated everyone's retina.
