Just look at the moment. If there are two slew of su-27m in this workshop, the production scale of about ten frames will be out of stock in less than a week.

Of course, since it was during the war period, there was a slight difference between the production methods that pursue efficiency and the usual pursuit of efficiency, IAPO's fighter aircraft assembly work is now in dispersed manner. There are only three or four Su-27m aircraft in the huge workshop to avoid heavy losses in case of attack.

After visiting the assembly workshop of the Su-27m fighter, he held a small symposium with representatives from various subordinate units of IAPO that afternoon. It turned out that Long Yun, who was a little confused, had adapted to the visit. Since he had figured out Simonov's intention and wanted to use this to establish a good relationship with Victor, he cooperated with this series of activities. During this period, he talked with technical workers and officials from different positions and delivered a brief improvisational speech.

After attending all these events, in the evening of the evening, Simonov and several heads of the Aviation Industry Federation attended the dinner together for Lieutenant General Victor Rezenov who visited IPO.

After a whole day of activity arrangements, he also received the arrangement of the KGB "pretending to leave Irkutsk". Long Yun felt that Simonov's idea of ​​getting close to Viktor was fine. During the dinner, he stood up on the pretext to sit in the lounge for a while, and had a brief discussion with the designer who was in his sixties and was energetic for a while.

"Haha, yes, Comrade General! I especially noticed your brilliant achievements. Such an unprecedented record of falls. Most of them were obtained by controlling the Su-27s designed by our Sukhoi Bureau and produced by Iapo. This is your supreme glory and a great honor for our Design Bureau!"

"You have been awarded, Comrade Simonov! I must admit that the su-27 is an excellent weapon of war, and my comrades agree very much."

"Oh, hehe! This makes us so happy.

It’s a bit ashamed to say that if our people worked harder at that time, they wouldn’t have to delay until the late 1980s to provide mass production to the Air Force and Air Defense Forces in batches. Speaking of this history, I had left the Sukhoi Design Bureau for four years. In the end, I chose to come back because I felt that in a place like the Design Bureau and a production company, I could only play my greatest value.

So, our number one ace, can you please give your valuable experience to the su-27m fighter, and let us gain some knowledge about technology? What do you think? Of course, we have received a lot of evaluation reports from the front-line troops and attach great importance to analysis. But of course I want to hear your opinions the most, which can be said to be crucial to our next work. Haha!"

"Opinion... I dare not take this, actually-"

When Long Yun heard Simonov's words, his first reaction was naturally "Sorry, I haven't flew over the su-27m type". However, this answer would be disappointing. The new fighter jet was added to the regiment for a while, saying that he not only hadn't driven it, but he didn't even pay any attention, which seemed not suitable.

Speaking of which, Victor went to Bulgaria to perform a mission, otherwise he should have some understanding of the model like the su-27m?

On the other hand, since I came here through time, I really hope to help the Red Empire win this world war. Even if it was just in an informal occasion, facing the chief designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, Long Yun simply spoke freely, based on the analysis of models such as su-35bm in the parallel world, and discussed it briefly with Simonov for a while, pointing out that the direction of improvement of su-27m is basically correct, but at the same time, he also raised some questions:

"...So, Comrade Simonov, my comrades and I think it's very good about the Su-27m fighter jet. The comprehensive combat capability has been greatly improved compared to the Su-27s. But since you ask, I would like to put forward my own considerations. As I know, the flight performance and maneuverability of the M-type alone has not been greatly improved compared to the prototype. Do we have no ability to further improve in this regard, or are there any other difficulties?"

"Oh? Comrade General, can you... say more in detail?"

He just laughed and said a lot, but when he really discussed technology, Simonov, who usually acted like a manager, regained his true nature as a technical expert. He held his glasses and waited for Victor's answer.

"Of course. That's right. Regarding the su-27 aircraft - I've shown my skills. At the beginning of the design, it was indeed subject to many constraints, such as the engine progress, the overweight electronic equipment, and the material level and machining level at that time. These are objectively existing, right?

Yes, then my question is that after such a long period of development, I personally believe that your bureau should be able to perform secondary design on the basis of the Su-27, that is, the 'project t-10s', to make full use of the excellent aerodynamic characteristics of the central lift body, and try to avoid the adverse factors mentioned above. The performance of the new fighter designed in this way should be greatly improved compared to the Su-27s. At least, the thrust-weight ratio should be close to the level of the MiG-29-oh, of course, this not only requires the efforts of the Design Bureau, but also the life of the Al-31fm engine used on the Su-27m has been extended, and the thrust-upper force still does not exceed thirteen tons. This also shows that we need to find a way to the overall design of the fighter, right?"

"Well...is that true..."

No matter what kind of expectations he was holding, he asked the trump card general in front of him about su-27m's opinion, but the opinions he heard were a little unexpected. Mikhail Simonov in the seat nodded slightly, then lit a cigarette silently, staring at the glass on the table and pondered without saying a word.

Yes, although this Victor Rezenov is just a super ace for flying fighter jets, I have to say that his vision is really unique. This question is indeed quite sharp, but...

"Well, let's say that, Comrade Rezenov, I think your proposal is valuable."

Perhaps having a thought in my mind, I snatched out the cigarette in my hand, Simonov raised his hand to tamper his gray hair:

"Of course, in the current war situation, when we discuss this issue, the first thing we can't avoid is production capacity and demand. I want to explain this first.

To be honest, we, the Sukhoi Bureau, have been doing our best. After all, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the most powerful fighter that our aviation practitioners can provide to the Soviets, at least before Alkin's "Project 1.44". The work results in this regard are not very successful, including the "three-wing plan" and "additional fuel tank plan". Perhaps you have heard of it. There are also plans for overall major changes in the project, and the current Su-27m is one of them.

The improvement solution of the m-type has no change in the appearance of the whole machine from the standard model, which means that the production line does not need to be adjusted, and the process continuity is good. Even if the performance is not completely enhanced, it is also the most suitable option for the current situation. Now, the single-seat Su-27 production capacity of Iapo and Knaapo has been almost all adjusted to the m-type, and the monthly output can exceed one hundred aircraft - I have to remind you that this number is confidential, Comrade General, what do you think of this?"

"Ah, I can fully understand what you said."

Long Yun also thought that the analysis of Simonov was very reasonable. The production of weapons during the war period was originally given priority. The "su-27 major reform" he mentioned before was probably just an imagination, and it was a little out of place under the current situation.

The production preparation of fighter jets is a huge system project. If the existing models can be improved on the basis of not completely changing the production process, supporting equipment and processes, or to a certain extent, it would be better. In this regard, the work of the Sukhoi Bureau can be said to be effective: compared with the Su-27s, the main improvements are to improve the internal structure of the body, add two underwing heavy load mount points, cancel the back speed reduction plate, improve a complete set of electronic systems including radar, and replace the al-31fm engine. These improvements have not changed the overall aerodynamic design of the prototype, which is naturally very beneficial for large-scale production under the wartime system.

However, while thinking this, Long Yun continued to raise his own questions. His original intention was not to question Simonov and his poor improvement of the fighter jets, but to take this opportunity to inquire whether the Sukhoi Design Bureau in the parallel world had a complete improvement plan for the Su-27 fighter jet.

The Su-27 in the real world, of course, also includes Victor's mount in the parallel world, is a powerful aerial platform. However, due to the limitations of various factors, there are some shortcomings and shortcomings in nature. In this regard, Long Yun's idea has long existed. He is basically clear about the improvement route of the Su-27 in the real world. Due to the renewal of fighter jets, this former sky hero has not had the opportunity to improve in depth, so he completely subconsciously asked in the parallel world. After all, the historical trajectory of the two worlds may not be the same. Since the Soviet Union still exists, the Sukhoi Design Bureau will definitely improve the improvement of a successful fighter jet such as the Su-27.

As he asked, as if in response to his expectations, Mikhail Simonov, who was sitting beside him, replied quite readily:

"Haha! Comrade General, are you asking if there are any more radical improvements?
Chapter completed!
