The reason for this operation is simple that Lockheed Martin believes that the Yakovlev Design Bureau is one of the few important units that undertake the development and production of fixed-wing carrier-borne aircraft of the Soviet Navy in the former Soviet era.

Don’t your Ascendas Group want a fixed-wing carrier-based transport aircraft?

It is impossible to give Lockheed Martin's C-2 "Greyhound" carrier-borne transport aircraft; but the Yakovlev Design Bureau of the Soviet era is in charge.

In other words, it is once one of the world's superpowers. What else can you pick about Ascendas Group with such a configuration?

What? Does the Yakovlev Design Bureau have the same model as the C-2 "Greyhound" carrier transport aircraft?

Then look at the design bureau in the 1970s that specially designed the Yak-44 carrier-based early warning aircraft for Soviet aircraft carriers. Although it was born as an early warning aircraft, not a transport aircraft, is this a problem?

As long as the radar disc antenna on the Yak-44 carrier-based early warning aircraft is removed, isn't it a carrier-based transport aircraft that can be replaced?

Therefore, Ascendas Group wants to take it and leave the Pulse Ⅲ aircraft assembly line; no, there is nothing to talk about at all. This is already Lockheed Martin’s bottom line. If Ascendas does not agree, then Lockheed Martin will only It is possible to use the power of the whole company to break through the core technology of the new generation of pulsating production line.

The Ascendas Group is actually very entangled in this. The Yak-44 carrier-borne early warning aircraft cannot be said to be bad. After all, it is a valuable legacy left over from the Soviet navy era. Not to mention that the Soviets have also produced test flight prototypes in the 1980s. And made a series of takeoff and landing tests on the aircraft carrier, and achieved quite rich technical results.

But it cannot be said that the Yak-44 carrier-based early warning aircraft is perfect, because this model has always existed in the form of a technical verification aircraft from beginning to end, and it has failed in the competition with another An-71 carrier-based early warning aircraft, so even The Soviet Union did not disintegrate, and this Yak-44 carrier-based early warning aircraft may not be able to achieve good results.

Based on this, Lockheed Martin’s mind is self-evident, and don’t dislike whether the Yak-44 carrier-borne early warning aircraft is obsolete, as long as you take it to the Ascendas Group, we are hello and I’m hello everyone, otherwise... They are pressed by Lockheed Martin, and they are really in the direction of the pulsating assembly line of the aircraft to compare with your Ascendas Group, then see who loses the most!

The answer is obvious. Obviously the loss of Ascendas Group is huge. After all, Americans are not related to technology without pulsating production lines. The most important reason for not researching and developing by themselves is not patents and technical barriers, but the United States’ own R&D costs. High, there is no such excellent price-performance ratio as Ascendas Group.

This highlights the position of Ascendas Group in this field.

Therefore, the Tengfei Group can be mad and do whatever it wants, but it must have a certain degree, otherwise it is very likely to catch fire once it is over.

The Ascendas Group really didn’t want to push Lockheed Martin in a hurry. At the same time, it also felt that the Yakovlev Design Bureau was okay, and it was not a loss if it was second, so it used the Pulse III aircraft assembly line. The three-year warranty is at the expense of Lockheed Martin’s $450 million debt assignment to the Yakovlev Design Bureau.

At the same time, Ascendas Group used the form of debt-to-equity swap to exchange USD 450 million in debt for 65.8% of the Yakovlev Design Bureau.

So far, Ascendas Group has completely completed the acquisition of Yakovlev Design Bureau!

Then... and then Zhuang Jianye suddenly discovered that the former Soviet top aviation design bureau, which was obtained after a second, was dying by people, even if it was put on adrenal hormones, there was no possibility of saving it.

What Yak-44 carrier-borne early warning aircraft, let alone technical data, there is not even a Russian letter, because at the time when Lockheed Martin was supervised by the company, the Yakovlev Design Bureau had already put these technical data according to Lockheed Martin’s Requires complete destruction.

Want Ascendas Group?

Unless go to heaven to find God!

It wasn't until this time that Zhuang Jianye woke up, that he had been swayed by Loma.

But think about it, Lockheed Martin is deliberately trying to kill the Yakovlev Design Bureau. Isn’t it afraid that one day in the future, Yakovlev’s vertical take-off and landing fighter jets will compete with Lockheed Martin’s products? .

If Yakovlev, the old green leek, was not shaved from the root, Lockheed Martin guessed that he would not be able to sleep well.

As the saying goes, it is advisable for the remaining brave to chase the poor and not to be a famous academic overlord!

Although Lockheed Martin doesn't know how to translate this famous saying, it does a very good job in the core.

As for the Ascendas Group, to be honest, people really haven't looked at it. After all, in their eyes, China is synonymous with backwardness. Even the parts and components of two aircraft of the same model cannot be interchanged. At this level, You said that China can make a vertical take-off and landing fighter?

Unless the sun hits the west and comes out almost!

Of course, I don’t have the skills, but I care about my face. I have to try it. It just so happens that Yakovlev has been abandoned anyway. Let Ascendas Group take it back to support the facade. Anyway, change the three-year Pulse III aircraft assembly line. No loss during the warranty period!

At this point, what can Tengfei do is that the mentality of holding the flesh of the mosquito's legs is also flesh and barely accepting reality.

But the problem is that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Russian economic reform ~lightnovelpub.net~ and the toss of Lockheed Martin this time, the Yakovlev Design Bureau was really not the worst, only worse, let alone reinvigorate. The new model of Yak XX is out.

Even if you can find a security guard to maintain the order at the door, so as not to let the design bureau building be like an unguarded thieves’ paradise, allowing thieves to get in and out is a luxury.

It can be seen how miserable the Yakovlev Design Bureau is!

With this appearance, Zhuang Jianye does not expect it to replicate any Yak carrier-based aircraft, as long as it can collect some data and become part of the Ascendas Group, a part of the aviation industry auxiliary design system.

As a result, when Zhuang Jianye was about to squeeze the last bit of oil from the Yakovlev Design Bureau, the chief designer of the design bureau, Professor Maleshevsky, approached Zhuang Jianye.

Just one sentence surprised Zhuang Jianye: "Give me 5 million U.S. dollars, no! 3 million will do. I will rebuild the Yak-41M vertical take-off and landing fighter in your Ascendas Group!"

At that time, Zhuang Jianye thought he had misheard what Professor Maleshevsky said.

You must know that even the data on the eliminated cargo Yak-44 carrier-based early warning aircraft was destroyed by Lockheed Martin, not to mention the Yak-41M vertical take-off and landing fighter that is more threatening to Lockheed. Not only was it uprooted, it was still on the original soil. Seal it with concrete, so you don't want to take root for a lifetime.

Under such circumstances, Maleshevsky actually said that he wanted to do it again. It was a joke, so Zhuang Jianye could only sigh and ask: "All the technical data is ruined, what do you do?"

"The technical information is gone, and there is a brain!" Maleshevsky smiled slightly, then pointed his head with his finger: "Because this is the real backup!"
