Amur Komsomolsk, Sukhoi Gagarin Aircraft Factory, Factory No. 26 during the Soviet period. In another dimension, this famous aviation factory provided the Chinese aviation force with a series of fighter jets such as the 27-0. China's orders also saved the Gagarin factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Later, China began to imitate the J-F-100 fighter jets. ll Flanker series, the Gagarin factory's financial situation worsened, and it was not as successful as it was in the previous two years.
However, in this plane, the Gagarin Factory located in Komsomolsk on Amur has become an asset of the Far Eastern Republic since its independence and has nothing to do with Sukhoi. In the wave of "marketization" in the Far East Republic, the Gagarin factory, which was poorly managed and could hardly pay wages, was sold to a powerful Chinese company, China Shenghua Group.
Asimolov was a senior engineer at the Gagarin Factory. When the Soviet Union collapsed and the Far Eastern Republic became independent, he was mentally depressed for a time. His hometown was not in the Far East, but in Ukraine, but he had already established a business in Komsomolsk. He lives his own life, has a wife and two children.
When the Far East first became independent, Novozlov announced that employees of some state-owned institutions could come and go freely. If they did not want to stay in the Far East, they could return to Western Russia or other places. However, many people, including Asimolov, did not choose to return to their hometown. Instead, they stayed in the Far Eastern Republic and continued to serve in their original units.
This is actually not difficult to understand. Newspapers and TVs in the Far Eastern Republic are reporting every day on how difficult people's lives are in Western Russia, including several former republics. The market is chaotic, goods are in short supply, and most factories The inability to start work, and more importantly, political instability and the possibility of war breaking out at any time, have deterred many people.
For example, Asimolov, although the Gagarin factory is not very profitable, at least the salary can be paid. His wife is a teacher at the Komsomolsk Conservatory of Music and also has income, and Komsomolsk is the third largest city in the Far East. Big cities have always received various consumer goods from China, prices are relatively stable, and people's lives are not as bad as imagined. Abandoning the life here and going to Western Russia to suffer is not a decision that a normal person can make, especially a person like Asimolov who has a family and needs to think more about his family.
In fact, Asimolov, as the technical backbone of the factory, still has strong objections to being acquired by a Chinese company. Although China has made great achievements in national defense construction in recent years, and the Shenghua Group that acquired them can even develop a new generation of stealth fighters, the people at the Gagarin Factory do not even have a concept. But Asimolov is still relatively resistant to the entry of Chinese peers and management.
Resistance was useless. After Shenghua took over the Gagarin factory, he first appeased all the factory employees and gave a subsidy, so that some workers who were living a tight life could be grateful for a while. Then a large number of new equipment came from China. After they are shipped, Chinese engineers direct the factory employees to assemble them.
Asimolov had never seen such modern equipment. After the entire production line was completed, he felt that Gagarin's factory immediately became taller. This also gave him an admiration for his Chinese colleagues that he did not want to admit but existed.
A few months ago, a team of engineers from China, accompanied by Asimolov and a translator, sorted out some technical information from the Gagarin factory. Asimolov couldn't help but sigh that all the Soviet Union's research results for so many years have become Chinese things. Although it is a pity, it is also realistic. There are not so many things he can take care of now. After the new owner took over, at least his salary was increased by 60%. The factory even equipped a Chinese-made car for a technical master like him. car. Asimolov drove the car to pick up his wife from school, which made his wife's face very bright.
He is determined to work hard. Times are different now, and the pursuit of personal happiness has become more important.
Today is a very different and significant day for Asimolov and Gagarin Factory, because after the change of ownership, Gagarin Factory received many orders from Chinese companies to produce some aircraft parts. Parts, the profit of producing these parts is not as big as the production of complete machines, but it can keep the Gagarin factory profitable and has certain benefits. But for the ambitious Gagarin factory employees, it was difficult for them to accept that they would not be able to build a fighter jet for a long time.
Today, a new fighter jet was finally born on the production line of the Gagarin Factory. Asimolov also felt very incredible about this. Because this fighter was modified and redesigned by a Chinese engineering team after studying their Su-27 fighter. Some details of the aircraft have been slightly changed, and most of the internal electronic equipment are made of Chinese products. It can be said that this In addition to the very Soviet-style appearance of the fighter jet, everything inside is basically Chinese-style. Even the text on the screen is in Chinese characters.
Asimolov himself has participated in the improvement and manufacturing of this type of fighter, and has a deep understanding of the huge advantages this fighter has over Soviet fighters such as the Su27. Its size and weight have been improved, and it is equipped with a -10 series engine from China.The afterburning thrust can reach 15N when turned on, and the engine also has an axisymmetric vector nozzle, which greatly improves the maneuverability of this fighter.
Its weapon systems all use Chinese products, abandoning a series of Soviet-made missiles, but it can mount pL-, pL-2, LTPT series bombs, Y¡Í anti-ship missiles, etc., which can not only complete air control operations, but also It is a well-deserved heavy-duty multi-purpose fighter for ground and sea attacks.
As for the avionics system, the new fighter jet adopts an active phased array radar, which has high power, wide detection range, and very high anti-jamming capabilities and electronic countermeasures levels.
From these details, Asimolov could see that the technical level of Chinese aviation people had actually far surpassed that of the Soviet Union. This made him sigh and was happy that he had finally returned to the first line of the industry.
"Xia Gong, after our new fighter jets are manufactured, will we be able to get orders from the Chinese Air Force or Hainan Airlines? As far as I know, the fighter jets used by your country's Air Force are very close to our new fighters in performance, and your country's Hainan Airlines also has B14 "I'm afraid it will be difficult for our new fighters to find a space for such a model," Asimolov said with some concern. In his opinion, it is impossible for Siberia and the Far East to purchase new fighters now, and the only possibility is. It is the Chinese Air Force who is buying new fighters, but the Chinese aviation equipment is luxurious and there are many types of aircraft and competition is fierce, which makes him worry about gains and losses.
Xia Gaohong, the Chinese engineer who presided over the research and development of the new fighter jet, is a red alert engineer. He had previously presided over the localization business of the B14 at Shenfei. He is also considered a technical expert under Qi Yiming. He smiled and said: "If there is no need, why don't we come here?" Did Komsomolsk change this aircraft? Our new fighter has already received the military¡¯s internal number and is called the J-6 fighter. We are all colleagues and it¡¯s okay to explain to you. Hainan Airlines has equipped hundreds of fighter-bombers. However, the design of these fighter-bombers is relatively conservative and cannot meet the multi-purpose needs of Hainan Airlines. Therefore, Hainan Airlines hopes to obtain a heavy-duty multi-purpose fighter with excellent performance and low price to replace the fighter-bomber - well, but the Air Force and Hainan Airlines Now there are basically two teams. The Air Force uses the J-Fighter, so HNA is unlikely to use the J-Flanker Shadow Leopard, so HNA is interested in the potential of the Flanker and hopes to develop a useful multi-purpose heavy fighter on this basis. "
Asimolov nodded repeatedly and asked: "So how many J-6 fighters will China HNA purchase?
Xia Gaohong said: "A conservative estimate is that there are 20 of them, at least they will be replaced one by one with the current Feibao.
Asimolov said excitedly: "Two hundred aircraft. This is a big order. At least we will have nothing to worry about in four or five years."
Xia Gaohong laughed, patted Uncle Maozi next to him, and said: "It's not that simple. Our new fighter is still on test flights. After that, it must pass the review and testing of Hainan Airlines to determine whether to enter the procurement process. And even if we enter The procurement process does not take four or five years as you think. According to our domestic requirements, the 20 fighters must be delivered within 2 months. The Gagarin factory does not yet have such production capacity. Our production line is bound to To expand production capacity.¡±
After hearing this, Asimolov was rather complacent, because he had not experienced the feeling of doing tasks assigned by his superiors with such high spirit and seriousness for a long time. Work gives people a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Asimolov is very optimistic about the future. Also full of longing.
The technical source of this J-6 prototype is naturally the Red Alert Base. In another dimension, China copied the Su-3 and added many of its own elements to create this fighter jet. Red Alert engineers combined many of the characteristics of the Su-6 and remade this fighter, giving it better air control and strike capabilities. It is worthy of being a super version of the fourth-generation FF fighter.
HNA's Flying Leopards, which have only been in service for five or six years, have not even reached one-third of their lifespan. However, HNA has gradually lost sight of these aircraft. In addition, HNA's economic situation has improved, so we hope that Purchase better fighter jets. Qi Yiming came up with this trick for HNA. HNA has already domesticated the Tomcat, so it won¡¯t be a big deal to domestically produce the Flanker. Some people have some opinions on outsourcing the manufacturing of fighter planes to the Gagarin factory, but Qi Yiming laughs at this. Now there is not much difference between the Far East and Nanyang. They are both China's back gardens, and they are integrated economically. controlled. Moreover, in addition to parts such as the fuselage, a series of various internal parts are made in China, and are no different from domestic manufacturers.
After the production of the J-6 is completed, Qi Yiming also wants to try to promote this fighter to the foreign market. Even the five Central Asian countries, the Far East, and Siberia can also equip a large number of this aircraft in the future. It is definitely a suppression for Russia to export their Sukhoi fighter jets in the future.
