Chapter 193 Project 1.44?

"Hey, Alkin!"

The man named Alkin was strong and medium-sized, and looked about forty years old. When he saw Selov greeting him, he came over casually with the plate and sat with them.

"Shelov, have you done the navigation equipment recently? - Oh, isn't this one?"

"Oh! Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Rezenov, the number one ace! - Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, this is the new chief designer of the Design Bureau, Alkin Fateyev."

"Hello Comrade Fadeyev!"

When he shook hands with this design with kind-looking, small eyes but bright eyes, the two looked at each other a few times. One was out of curiosity about the ace pilot, and the other was the first time he heard that the chief designer of MiG Design Bureau was such a number one character.

Yes, in Long Yun's memory, the two veterans of MiG Design Bureau: Migoyan and Glevic (the name Migo is named after the first letters of these two designers). After withdrawing from 196 privately and 1970, the number one figure of the Design Bureau should be Belyakov, and the famous Migo-29 was from his leading team.

However, these two worlds are not comparable, and he knows little about the MiG Design Bureau in parallel worlds; perhaps because Belyakov is old and now retreats to the second line.

After chatting with Alkin for a while, Long Yun felt that the designer was easy to deal with, but he always looked a little worried. Seeing Long Yun’s doubts, Selov whispered to Long Yun when Alkin got up to pour coffee:

"Alkin's mission is very heavy now, and the National Defense Commission is urging the new fighter jets very tightly."

The new fighter? Long Yun thought to himself that it was the follow-up model of the G-29, and the G-35 in reality? He was naturally very concerned about this kind of news: "Oh? Can you talk to him about the fighter jet?"

"This..." Selov was a little hesitant. He couldn't do anything like this. "Why don't you talk to him? I know very little about the new model. The confidentiality regulations here are very powerful."

Long Yun nodded. He probably knew the confidentiality requirements of the Design Bureau, especially during the war.

At this time, Alkin had already returned to his seat with his cup, and Long Yun mentioned this casually while chatting.

"The pressure on the front line is still very high now. I wonder how the new model in the bureau is progressing?"

Hearing Long Yun ask, Alkin's face turned as usual, but his voice became a little low: "It's okay."

Hearing such a plausible reply, Long Yun felt that he must be unwilling to talk about this matter; he was about to give up when he was tactful, but when he saw Alkin seemed to hesitate for a moment, then he looked up and made a request to him.

"Is this the KGB guy here too?"

"--What?"

"I mean," Alkin took a sip of coffee. "Comrade Rezenov, if you have time, can you apply to the KGB agent? I would like to ask you some insights on the new fighter."

"Ah,———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Of course, we can check it out first, if you can get approval."

Half an hour later, Long Yun, who had dinner, walked into an inconspicuous tall building in the annexed building of the MiG Design Bureau accompanied by Alkin and another KGB agent.

If you look outside, maybe everyone will think it is like a boiler room; but after really walking in, Long Yun was surprised to find that what Alkin took him to see was a real fighter, although it seemed obvious that it was still in the experimental stage.

Just before the few of them, on the flat cement floor, a large pile of equipment, scaffolding and tools surrounded by a large fighter that Long Yun had never seen before: a sharp nose, a bulge with canards poked out on both sides, a huge abdomen air intake, and a wide-spaced double vertical tail at the tail.

Whether it is this familiar body or the unique blue-blue painting, Long Yun immediately remembered the model that only exists on the drawings and test sites:

Project 1.44.

Isn't it? After walking around the fighter for the first half, Long Yun immediately affirmed his guess.

Of course, if you look closely, the appearance of this test aircraft is still a little different from the 1.44 prototype he has seen; but judging from the status of the aircraft in the MiG Design Bureau and its own configuration, Long Yun feels that his inference is completely correct.

In the real world, the final research and development result of Project 1.44 is the famous G-35; if the time is put until the collapse of the Soviet Union, then 1.44 can be said to be the pinnacle of the Soviet fighter jet, an unprecedentedly powerful design, and it can even be said to be able to compete with the US F-22.

The pinnacle of Soviet fighter jets...

Is this the case whether in reality or in a parallel world that you travel through?

Seeing the huge fighter jet hiding in front of him, Long Yun slowly imagined that things might not be that simple.

Of course, Long Yun does not have much substantial concepts about aviation industry processes and specific fighter aircraft design and development; but an outsider like him can see that the fighter aircraft in front of him seems to be quite far from flying into the blue sky.

Just talking about this aircraft, although the one that appeared in front of him was not a wooden model, but a metal structure verification aircraft; however, whether it was scanning from the ground where the openings were everywhere, or the still empty engine installation warehouse, it was obvious that the fighter aircraft was far from being manufactured, and many equipment and supporting facilities were not in place.

To put it seriously, the so-called advanced fighter is actually just an empty shell. As for radar, engine, weapon system and other supporting equipment, I still don’t know where it is.

Of course, with his complete layman status, Long Yun was not absolutely confident in his judgment. He just realized quite accurately: Since this so-called advanced fighter can now be exposed to an outsider like him, then it can be said that it is practical and probably still has a considerable distance.

The answer returned by consciousness snooping technique also partially confirms his guess.

“…Lieutenant Colonel Comrade.”

After a long period of silence, Alkin opened his mouth slowly, seemingly hesitating to speak.

"That... from the perspective of the pilot, what do you think of this fighter jet?"

“…?”

Looking at the strong middle-aged man in surprise, Long Yun didn't know what to say.

How could the famous MiG Design Bureau, the newly-responsible young chief designer, ask him, a complete layman, ask such things? Perhaps he realized that Long Yun was trying to speak, Alkin was silent for a few seconds before continuing.

"Please don't have to reserve.--In fact, in my personal observation, the weapons needed by the warriors are often quite different from what we designers think;"

Speaking of this, Alkin paused for a moment, subconsciously raised his hand and held his glasses.
