Chapter 1333 The Navy¡¯s Ambition

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    What the military leaders said is absolutely correct. The United Kingdom and the United States are the ones developing and producing vertical take-off and landing fighter jets in the world today.

    Of course, there was the Soviet Union before. The problem is that after the disintegration, Russia, which inherited most of the legacy of the Soviet Union, simply cannot afford the expensive research and development costs of such aircraft.  The Yak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter jet bearing a curved vector tail nozzle was also acquired by Ascendas Group, the predecessor of China Ascendas, after some troubles, and now it has become the technical reserve of China Ascendas.

    Yes, today¡¯s Yak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter is only a technical reserve and cannot become an active product. The reason for this is very simple. Russia has been following the IP issues of the Yak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter over the years.  China's take-off is entangled.

    The main reason for this is that the Russians have been crazy about money in recent years. Not to mention the Yak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter, even products such as the AK-47 assault rifle and MiG-21 fighter jets that were shipped in large quantities during the Soviet period  , the Russians all want to use it to make up for the huge intellectual property fees.

    In addition to the Yakovlev Design Bureau, the participants in the design of the Yak-141 vertical takeoff and landing fighter were also the Zhukovsky Central Aerodynamics Institute, plus the participation of some other former Soviet design units, resulting in the Yak  Who owns the intellectual property rights of the -141 vertical take-off and landing fighter is simply a confusing account.

    The Russians have spotted this confused account and are ready to attack China's take-off with guns and sticks. To this end, they have set up a series of restrictive measures, such as key materials and main components of the Goyak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter engine.  Core data, etc., in order to force China to take off.

    Especially the two large-diameter bearing parts in the core three-bearing bend of the tail nozzle not only have to withstand the high temperature of the heat flow of the tail nozzle, but also have to be particularly stable in terms of movement accuracy and response speed.

    This technology was unique to Soviet Russia before 1995. It can be said to be the master of metallurgy, machine manufacturing, system integration and industrial design in the Soviet era. Even the United States, which claims to be the world's number one in science and technology, cannot reach it and has to rely on the Cold War.  Later, this technology was obtained through plundering from the corpses of the Soviet Union, and then the F-35B was created.

    Before China took off, it relied on the complete set of technologies provided by Yakovlev to imitate the engine of the Yak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter. All other parts were fine, but the two large-size titanium alloy bearings on the tail nozzle could not be made.  When I came out, I had no choice but to order it from Russia. Needless to say the price, it was a huge blow to the Russians.

    The price quoted for a single bearing is US$5 million, and the entire engine is less than US$25 million. This shows how ruthless the Russians are.

    If the Yak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter is really technically excellent, no matter whether it is spending money or playing hooligans, China Takeoff guarantees that it will be as beautiful as Miss Ji in the foreign Su-27 combat.

    The problem is that after actual testing, the Yak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter is not as good as the Russians said. It is at best an engineering verification aircraft that has completed the initial design.

    Many technologies are immature. For example, the two Victory turbofan engines at the rear of the cockpit are not only overweight, but also cause the structural strength of the surrounding body materials to rapidly decay due to the high-temperature heat flow during startup, and cracks often occur.  , cracks and other problems, resulting in the service life of the Yak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter being only a pitiful 2,500 hours.

    As for the bomb load, range, and maneuverability, not to mention, they are basically plastic properties on paper and cannot stand verification at all. Even the head office of the Yakovlev Design Bureau, Malenovsky  We all have to admit that the Yak-141 vertical takeoff and landing fighter is more of an avant-garde concept than a fighter jet.

    ¡°If it were other companies or units, such a scam and money-burning thing would probably be swept directly into the garbage dump and completely turned into a technical reserve.

    The problem is that China Tengfei is not an ordinary enterprise, especially when it comes to carrier-based aircraft. China Tengfei inherits the tradition from Yonghong Factory, which has a foundation of more than 30 years if carefully calculated.

    It would be fine if the Yakovlev Design Bureau had not been acquired. Now that it has been acquired, and all the technical data of the Yak-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter has been obtained, for such a medium-sized aircraft with a displacement of 20,000 to 40,000 tons,  The ship has the same level of combat capabilities as today's large aircraft carriers. As a country with a tradition of developing carrier-based aircraft, China Tengfei will naturally not give up easily.

    What's more, today is very different from the 1980s. At that time, the Navy wanted aircraft carriers, but the national and financial resources at that time simply could not afford the construction of aircraft carriers. In addition, the focus of domestic defense at that time was on the furry bears in the north.  There are not many overseas interests, and there is no urgent need to develop aircraft carriers.

      However, it is different now. We will enter the 21st century in a few years. The domestic economic development is advancing by leaps and bounds. With the expansion of overseas trade, the safety of trade routes and the smooth flow of energy channels are crucial to the country.  In addition, the frontier of military struggle has shifted from the north to the southeastern coast. All these factors have prompted the navy to develop increasingly mature conditions for large surface ships such as aircraft carriers.

    The main reason why it did not invest immediately is the same as the Army's failure to immediately implement mechanization. That is, the comprehensive protection capabilities at sea are too short. One is the regional air defense of the formation, and the other is the anti-submarine warfare in the ocean. If these two difficulties cannot be solved,  The problem is that even if there is an aircraft carrier, it is still a living target. It will either be partially disabled by the enemy's air raid firepower, or it will be stolen by submarines.

    Because of this, until these two problems are not solved, the Navy can only maintain the current model of small steps and fast running. While ensuring that certain technical aspects are not delayed, it will strive to maintain a relatively complete structure. Once the conditions are mature,  , making dumplings is a matter of minutes.

    Of course, immature conditions do not mean that the Navy has not made preparations for aircraft carriers. The Melbourne aircraft carrier purchased from Australia in the late 1980s, and the two scrapped aircraft carriers Kiev and Minsk purchased successively after the collapse of the Soviet Union, are all domestic aircraft carriers.  Large ship design and construction provide valuable reference points.

    Even in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the 40,000-ton aircraft carrier, even Zhuang Jianye, Lin Guanghua and other Chinese technicians were invited by the Navy to board the Minsk for on-site inspection. This shows that the Navy's ambitions are already restless.

    Another evidence that confirms this restless ambition is the acquisition of the Ukrainian "Varyag" aircraft carrier that Ning Xiaodong is negotiating. There is no trace of the navy in the whole process. The question is who is Ning Xiaodong?  That is Zhuang Jianye's uncle, and Zhuang Jianye, the head of a large state-owned enterprise that insists on developing carrier-based aircraft, naturally has a good relationship with the navy, so the large aircraft carrier that is still far away in Ukraine and is undergoing handover procedures is wrapped in commercial  Under the guise of behavior, there is actually a navy's surging ambition!
