Chapter 1187 Ascendas Group can barely do this

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Not only Wahid, but Suharto who came with him also looked incredulous and asked directly: "You already have the independent overhaul and maintenance capabilities of the Su-30mkk? This this  ¡­How can this be?"

    Yes, how is this possible? The Su-30mkk fighter jet does exist, but the key problem is that this model is a brand-new model that has just appeared in Russia, its country of origin. There are many countries in the world who are interested in purchasing it, but even Russia  This country of origin has not yet been fully finalized. It is already surprising that China has this fighter jet. How can it have independent overhaul and maintenance capabilities?

    So much so that Suharto had a sense of absurdity, either because Gu Jingyou was bragging or because he had traveled a few years later, and no matter what, it felt extremely unreal.

    After being shocked, Wahid also had a sense of absurd unreality just like Suharto, and to some extent it was even stronger than his deputy.

    The reason is simple. The Su-30 model is too familiar to Wahid, because the advanced aviation combat platform procurement memorandum signed by Indonesia and Russia in 1997 was signed by him on behalf of Indonesia and Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Production Complex.

    It is expected that by the end of 1999, Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Production Complex will provide Indonesia with six Su-30mk aircraft.

    The performance of the Su-30mk and the Su-30mkk are similar. The only difference is that the Su-30mkk is a special version for China, which has been specifically optimized according to the habits and combat environment of the Chinese Air Force; while the Su-30mk  It is a mass product, there is no such thing as specially made.

    To use an inappropriate analogy, if Su-30mkk is a personalized small mansion designed and decorated by oneself, then Su-30mk is a finely decorated house mass-produced by a developer.

    Except for the different interior styles, there is not much difference in essence.

    But this is not the key to the problem. The important factor is that both Su-30mkk and Su-30mk were launched at the end of 1995, officially announced and first flew in 1996, and mass-produced models were delivered in 1999. And now it is  How did China obtain the Su-30mkk in August 1998?

    ¡°Sukhoi has not even produced the batch model yet, so how can Ascendas Group have the ability to overhaul it?

    Facing the doubtful and questioning looks of Wahid and Suharto, Gu Jingyou didn't have the slightest idea of ??being seen through. He still had a warm smile on his face and explained without blushing: "But  They are two pre-production models that are being tested in our country. It may be that they are still some way behind the maturity of the mass-produced models. These two Su-30mkk pre-production models still have many defects. Send them to the original Russian manufacturer.  Not to mention the long journey, the efficiency of solving problems there is reallyso in order to save time and cost, the Air Force simply left this matter to us."

    When they heard that it was a pre-production model, both Wahid and Suharto breathed a sigh of relief. Well, there is no mass-produced model even in a country of origin like Russia. How can there be a buyer in China?

    But if it is a pre-production model, it will make sense. When buying a car, you need to test drive it to feel the basic performance; when you marry a wife, you need to live together for a while before getting married, and get along well with each other. Of course, things like combat aircraft also need to be  Before batch installation, test it carefully to see if it is not suitable so that the manufacturer can make more changes.

    In fact, not only the Chinese Air Force is testing the pre-production version of the Su-30mkk, the Indonesian Air Force is also testing the Su-30mk fighter jet they are preparing to purchase in their own country.

    But the next moment, Wahid and Suharto, who were relieved, were both shocked, because Gu Jingyou's words revealed a very important information, that is, their Ascendas Group was facing the Su-30mkk pre-production model.  Regarding the defects, there is no need for the Russian original manufacturer to intervene, and it can be completely solved by itself.

    You must know that the Su-30mkk is the latest model in the Soviet series of combat aircraft. On the surface, it looks similar to the Su-27, but in fact it is completely different internally.

    Not to mention other things, the Su-27 uses 9% steel. The Su-30mkk eliminates all steel and replaces it with an aluminum-lithium alloy that is as strong as steel but lighter in weight. The proportion of aluminum-lithium alloy has changed from  Su-27's 5% has increased to 22% today.

    At the same time, the proportion of ordinary aluminum alloys has been greatly reduced, and the use of titanium alloys, aluminum-lithium alloys and some composite materials has been increased.

    The change in materials has fundamentally changed all the established modes of production, manufacturing and technology of the Su-30mkk. This is why Western aviation critics will give the Su-30mkk a perfect side position, or a super side position evaluation.

    Because the Su-30mkk has fundamentally changed the Su-27's chronic problems of low structural fatigue strength and short service life.

    But this also shows from another perspective that the technology of the Su-30 series combat aircraft is very advanced.The manufacturing technology is quite superb, and it is not the case that manufacturers with Su-27 assembly capabilities can possess the Su-30's process technology, because apart from being similar in body, the souls of the two are already two different aircraft.

    Because of this, it is impossible to use the experience of the Su-27 to apply to the Su-30.

    If nothing else, Indonesia wants to use its Indonesian National Aviation Industry Corporation to handle the pre-production version of the Su-30mk that they are responsible for testing. There is no way. China thinks it is too far to go to the original Russian manufacturer, and Indonesia is too far away.

    Not to mention, every improvement and maintenance quotation given by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Complex is incredibly expensive. Even if the contract states that pre-production models have free warranty, how can Sukhoi Aviation Complex ask for money?  Just ask for money.

    Just like a car 4S store, free warranty only exists in theory. The master responsible for maintenance can always find profit growth points beyond the scope of maintenance.

    So Indonesia simply ignores Sukhoi and handles some minor issues locally.

    Anyway, there are many countries equipped with Soviet series combat aircraft, and Ukraine is one of the best. During the Soviet era, two aircraft repair factories were built in Ukraine.  Guys are no problem.

    Therefore, Indonesia quickly hooked up with Ukraine and quickly introduced a group of equipment and experts. As a result, everything was ready, but Dongfeng did not come at all. The reason is very simple. The internal situation of Su-30 and Su-27  It was completely different. Ukrainian experts were confused one by one. In the end, Indonesia had no choice but to admit defeat and continue to send pre-production Su-30 to Russia to deal with the problem.

    Having learned from the past, he naturally understood what was involved, so when Gu Jingyou said easily and freely that they could solve some minor problems on the Su-30mkk, both Wahid and Suharto were really shocked.  After being stunned for a long time, Wahid opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Jingyou with disbelief: "Mr. Gu, are you saying that you have been able to solve most of the problems on the Su-30mkk?"

    Gu Jingyou nodded and said modestly: "It's not bad. Anyway, the Su-30mkk's internal components are not very cutting-edge. Ascendas Group is barely capable in this aspect."
