Not only Wahid, Suharto who came with him also showed an incredible face, and he just blurted out and asked: "You already have the independent overhaul and maintenance capabilities of Su-30MKK? This...this... …how can that be?"

Yes, how is this possible? Su-30MKK fighter jets do exist, but the point is that this model is a brand new model that has just appeared in the country of origin in Russia. There are many countries in the world that have the intention of buying, but even Russia This place of origin has not yet been fully finalized. It is surprising that you have this fighter in China. How can it be possible to have independent overhaul and maintenance capabilities?

So Suharto felt a sense of absurdity spontaneously. Either Gu Jingyou was bragging about it; or he had traveled a few years later, anyway, he had a very unreal feeling anyway.

While shocked, Wahid also gave birth to an absurd sense of unreality just like Suharto, even to some extent even stronger than his own deputy.

The reason is simple. The Su-30 model Wahid is very familiar with it, because Indonesia signed a memorandum of understanding on the procurement of advanced aviation combat platforms with Russia in 1997, which he signed on behalf of the Sukhoi Aviation Production Consortium between Indonesia and Russia.

It is expected that at the end of 1999, the Russian Sukhoi Aviation Production Complex will provide Indonesia with six Su-30MKs.

The general performance of the Su-30MK and the Su-30MKK are almost the same. The difference is that the Su-30MKK is a special version for China, which has been optimized according to the habits and combat environment of the Chinese Air Force; while the Su-30MK has It is a mass product, there is no such thing as a special one.

To make an inappropriate analogy, if Su-30MKK is a small luxury house designed and decorated by itself, then Su-30MK is a hard-covered house produced in batches by the developer.

Except for the internal style, there is not much difference in nature.

But this is not the key to the problem. The important factor is that both the Su-30MKK and Su-30MK were launched at the end of 1995, officially announced in 1996 and first flew, and delivered the mass production model in 1999, and now it is How did China get the Su-30MKK in August 1998?

The batch type has not even been produced by Sukhoi, so how does Ascendas Group have its overhaul capabilities?

Facing the doubtful questioning gaze of Wahid and Suharto, Gu Jingyou had no sense of being seen through by others, and he still had a warm smile on his face. He explained that he was not red and heartbeat: "But They are two pre-production models that we tested in our country. Maybe they are still some distance from the maturity of mass-production models. The pre-production models of these two Su-30MKKs still have many defects. Send them to the original Russian manufacturers. The journey is far from talking, the efficiency of solving the problem there is really...So in order to save time and cost, the Air Force simply left this to us."

When it heard that it was a pre-production type, Wahid and Suharto were invariably relieved, and they said, there is no mass production type in Russia, so how could there be a buyer in China?

But if it’s a pre-production model, it’s easy to explain. Buy a car and you have to test drive it to experience the basic performance; to marry a wife, you have to live for a period of time before marriage, and get along with each other. Of course, things like combat airplanes are also necessary. Test and test well before mass equipment to see if that aspect is not suitable so that the manufacturer can change it more.

In fact, not only the Chinese Air Force is testing the pre-production model of the Su-30MKK, but the Indonesian Air Force is also testing the Su-30MK fighters they are preparing to purchase in their own country.

But the next moment, Wahid and Suharto, who were relieved, were shocked by Qi Qi again, because Gu Jingyou’s words revealed a very important message, that is, their Ascendas Group faces the Su-30MKK pre-production type. In terms of the defects, the original Russian manufacturers no longer need to intervene, and they can be completely resolved by themselves.

You must know that the Su-30MKK is the latest model in the Soviet-style combat aircraft. On the surface, it looks similar to the Su-27, but in fact it is quite different inside.

Apart from others, the Su-27 uses 9% of the steel, while the Su-30MKK eliminated all the steel and replaced it with an aluminum-lithium alloy that is as strong as steel but lighter in weight, making the proportion of the aluminum-lithium alloy change from Su — 5% of 27, 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 changes in materials have fundamentally changed all the established modes of production, manufacturing and craftsmanship of the Su-30MKK. This is why the Western aviation critics will give the Su-30MKK a perfect lateral or super lateral evaluation.

Because the Su-30MKK fundamentally changed the low fatigue strength and short service life of the Su-27 body.

But this also shows from another point of view that the craftsmanship of the Su-30 series combat aircraft is very advanced, and the manufacturing technology is quite superb. It is not possible for manufacturers with Su-27 assembly capabilities to have Su-30 craftsmanship, because in addition to the two In addition to the physical similarity, the soul is already two different airplanes.

Because of this, it is impossible to use Su-27's experience to set Su-30.

Not to mention anything else, Indonesia wants to deal with the pre-production model of the Su-30MK that they are responsible for testing in their National Aviation Industry Corporation of Indonesia. There is no way. China is too far away from the original Russian manufacturer, and Indonesia is too far away.

That’s not to say, every time the Russian Sukhoi Aviation Consortium offers an amazing price for improvement and maintenance, even if the contract says that the pre-production type is free of charge, but how should the Sukhoi Aviation Consortium ask for money? Just ask for money.

Just like a car 4S shop, free warranty only exists in theory, and the master in charge of maintenance can always find profit growth points beyond the scope of maintenance.

So Indonesia simply puts aside Sukhoi~lightnovelpub.net~ and puts some small issues on its own.

Anyway, there are many countries equipped with Soviet-style combat aircraft, and Ukraine is one of the best. In the Soviet era, two aircraft repair shops were built in Ukraine. Not only can they overhaul and maintain Soviet-style combat aircraft, but also people like Tu-160. Nobody is too much trouble.

Therefore, Indonesia quickly hooked up with Ukraine, and soon introduced a group of equipment and experts. As a result, everything was ready, but the east wind did not come. The reason is simple, the internal situation of Su-30 and Su-27 It was completely different. The Ukrainian experts were confused one by one. In the end, Indonesia could only accept the plant and continue to send the pre-production Su-30 to Russia for processing.

I have a lesson from the past, so I naturally understand the question inside, so when Gu Jingyou easily and freely said that they can solve some of the minor problems on the Su-30MKK, both Wahid and Suharto were really surprised. So much so that for a long time, Wahid opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Jingyou with an incredible face: "Mr. Gu, you mean, you have been able to solve most of the problems with Su-30MKK?"

Gu Jingyou nodded, and said modestly: "It's okay, anyway, the Su-30MKK's internal body is not too sophisticated. Ascendas Group is still barely able to do this."
