Chapter 2821 The Eagle Country also wants joint fighter jets

That's right, the Eagle Kingdom is completely disrupted by Qin Guan's plan. At this time, the response to this matter in the Eagle Kingdom's Ministry of National Defense made them scratch their heads a little.

Secretary of Defense Cheney, gray hair, a little fat, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, was always named a tough guy in this team, just like their president. After all, the war between the Eagle Kingdom against the Date Palm was planned by him. Now, although he paid a certain price, he achieved the result they wanted. The Eagle Kingdom's power has entered the oil production area. They stationed in the Waterless Kingdom and will be stationed forever, like a nail, forever, to realize their own interests.

However, the Minister of Defense is different from the commander of the military. He is a civilian position, and he is generally the person most trusted by the president. Once the president steps, he will have no suspense.

Therefore, Cheney has not had much time left, but he has to face such a mess. Under the strategy of Han, how should they fight back? Han is playing a big game!

"The Han Dynasty has been planning for a long time. They have obtained three aircraft carriers through despicable means. They are now planning to use an advanced fighter aircraft project to win over the traditional weapons exporters that originally belonged to us." A general roared: "In this way, they can disintegrate our strength and realize their strategic layout."

It is really too bad for the Han people to do this. Moreover, we can see that there are already countries such as Hans and noodles, and it is too late to stop it now.

After all, these countries are different from island countries. The Eagle Kingdom has not had strong control. Moreover, they have had good cooperation with the Han Kingdom a few years ago and have a considerable trust in the Han Kingdom. If they had known this would happen, they should not have supported the Han Kingdom at the beginning, and now they have created such a mess.

"These complaints are useless. Now, the most important thing for us is to come up with our own solutions." Cheney said: "Since the Han Dynasty's plan is attractive, we should have a similar solution. After all, we cannot only have a fourth-generation f22, but we also need advanced and low-priced fourth-generation machines to occupy the market."

I originally thought that relying on the F16, I could make money in the world arms market for many years. Who would have thought that the Han Dynasty was the first to advance military aircraft to the field of fourth-generation aircraft. The Han Dynasty actually had such advanced technology. Over the years, their development was simply unimaginable.

Cheney sighed that the Han Dynasty was so powerful.

"However, the development of a new fighter requires too much money. We have already overspent on the F22 project, and the project's test flight is still far away. If we develop another fourth-generation aircraft, such efforts may not be something we can afford." The Air Force Commander took the lead in expressing his point of view.

Of course, the Air Force wants to create a low-end fourth-generation aircraft like the F15 and F16, but the Air Force cannot afford such R&D investment.

"Yes, so we must jointly develop the three armies. This fighter, like the Han Chinese, can be used by our air force, navy, and marines." Cheney said.

Hearing this, the Navy Commander's face immediately changed: "That's impossible, Minister Cheney, have you forgotten the development of f111? Any plan to try to unite the Air Force and Navy fighter jets is the stupidest."

The Air Force does not want to work with the Navy to jointly develop, because the needs of both sides are very different.

What the Navy wants is twin-engine fighter jets and landing gears. The Air Force does not have that kind of demand at all. The two sides still have many different requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to pay a price to rashly confuse the two.

For example, the most important point is that the navy's aircraft carrier-based aircraft is the most dangerous when landing, just like doing acrobatics. This requires the navy aircraft to have a lower speed and sufficient thrust. If the landing fails, it must give up landing and pull up again. In addition to requiring the aircraft to have a high thrust-to-weight ratio, it also requires the wing load of the wings, which is completely different from the needs of the Air Force.

Of course, Congress was willing to do so, thinking that this would save costs, but in fact, all the money came out was useless. This was the case with the F111 project that year. It was planned to be used with the Navy and the Air Force, but the project was seriously overweight and could not be used on the ship at all.

The Navy is proud, and they look down on the Air Force at all. The F4 ghosts of the Navy back then are an example. The fighter jets developed by their Navy far exceed those of the Air Force, so the Air Force purchased them. The Navy will never compromise with the Air Force, so those fighters even retain folding wings, tail hooks, etc.

Now, the Navy will not jointly develop with the Air Force.

Besides, the Air Force already has the F22, which is an advanced twin-engine heavy air combat fighter. What about the Navy? The Navy's Naft plan now seems hopeless, which makes them very uncomfortable.

Because the development of a new fourth-generation aircraft consumes too much money. Although they also want to quickly create the fourth-generation aircraft like the Air Force, they cannot remit enough R&D funds.

With the help of Congress, they also considered changing the Air Force's F22 fighter jet to a carrier-based version. However, after a series of research, they found that this was impossible. To improve the F22, General Ge needs to strengthen the F22. For example, the hindrance of landing requires adding a tail hook and a stronger fuselage, the landing gear needs to be strengthened, and the catapult takeoff requires strengthening the structural strength of the front landing gear and fuselage. As a result, it was found that the improved F22 is already overweight and cannot be flew from the aircraft carrier.

Grumman Company has launched their stealth aircraft project, but now Grumman is already smelly in their eyes.

If it weren't for Grumman, how could the Han Dynasty fighter jets develop so rapidly! The third-generation aircraft of the Han Dynasty started with those F-14 Tomcat fighter jets. Now, the Han Dynasty already has the largest Tomcat fighter jet troops in the world, and the number is even greater than that of the Eagle Navy. After all, they have begun to gradually eliminate Tomcats and use multi-purpose F-18 fighter jets.

Grumman has another high-profile attitude, as if the Navy's fourth-generation aircraft could only choose the improved version of their Tomcat, which made the Navy very uncomfortable and was very dissatisfied with Grumman from top to bottom.

So, they first eliminated the fourth-generation aircraft project of Grumman Company. As a result, they are in a dilemma. In Cheney's words, it seems that they are going to merge the fourth-generation aircraft project of the Navy and the Air Force?
