Chapter 852 Super Seven Progress
When an aircraft develops into a technology verification aircraft, it has taken a big step towards practical use. You know, the development of an aircraft must go through the process of flight testing, and the technology verification aircraft is simply at the stage of flight testing.
Now, with the continuous development of the Soviet economy, the Soviet Union can finally follow the path of the wealthy United States and first produce a technology verification machine to verify whether these technologies are practical!
Although Andrei is an expert in fighter planes, he is still a layman when it comes to the development of specific fighter planes, so he can no longer provide any guidance. Now, sitting in the conference room of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, listening to the explanations of the comrades of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, Andrei can only nod his head frequently like everyone else.
Each specific design plan embodies the hard work of the technicians. Looking at this fighter plane that is similar to the Black Ribbon of later generations, Andre can't say anything. Let the experts decide everything!
After introducing the project, Andre finally interrupted: "I remember that we also have a joint research project with China, the Super 7 project. How is it going?"

The Super 7 Project was a plan by Andre last year. The most important purpose of this project is to dig a hole and pull Pakistan over to turn against the United States.
And now, so much time has passed, and Andre still doesn’t know the progress of the project!
"We can let Alexander explain the Super Seven project," Belyakov said, handing the microphone to a designer sitting at the last seat.

As the person in charge of the Super Seven project, Alexander was extremely excited at this time. He was originally unhappy that he did not join the project to develop the MiG-1.44. However, as a project leader, Alexander also felt the pleasure of being the top leader.
"Report to the Minister of Defense, General Andrei, and Minister Ivan," Alexander said. "So far, the Super Seven project has been progressing smoothly. We have completed the overall design and are manufacturing the first prototype. Of course, this is all thanks to General Andrei's advice. We designed it almost according to the F-16."
The simplest design is, of course, to copy! When we were contacting various forces and preparing to make large-scale improvements to the J-7, since we were increasing the performance according to Egypt's requirements, we naturally had to copy the advanced F-16!
Therefore, the aircraft on the slide you see now is almost identical to the F-16! After mapping and then reverse-engineering, China is very good at doing this!

"We did not completely copy the design of the F-16. For example, the F-16 was originally a low-end aircraft in the US equipment sequence. The air intake of this aircraft did not have an adjustment device, resulting in a low maximum speed. Our customers require this aircraft to be used as the main air superiority fighter, so it must have high-speed performance similar to the MiG-21. Therefore, we adopted a new air intake with adjustable baffles and matched it with our RD-33 engine. Relying on the design of wing-body fusion, our fighter can fully achieve 80% of the capabilities of the MiG-29, but the manufacturing cost is only half."
The project was progressing smoothly, and Andre was relieved. Andre then asked: "Then is there any problem with the investment of our foreign trade machine?"

"Yes, so far, Pakistan has expressed satisfaction. If we can eventually export the production line to Pakistan, Pakistan may eventually be equipped with about 250 aircraft, and Egypt will also be equipped with 200 to 300 aircraft. It can be said that as a foreign trade project, our Super Seven project is a success." Alexander said.
As a foreign trade project, the Super 7 is quite successful! It is used by third world countries at a low cost and with high combat effectiveness. It can be said that compared with the MiG-29, the Super 7 is obviously more suitable!
For Mikoyan Company, this can further expand the prestige of the Mikoyan Design Bureau. Of course, Alexander can vaguely guess the deeper intentions, but he is just not convenient to say it.

The design of the entire fighter jet is based on the Soviet system standards. If the Pakistanis want to modify it to use American parts in the future, it would be almost the same as redesigning and manufacturing it from scratch!
General Andre, when it comes to deceiving people, it’s as easy as flowing water!
The slides played one by one, and soon, it was the last one. Wait, this one seems to be wrong? Looking at the angular shape, Andre couldn't help but ask: "Alexander, what is the last one?"

Alexander took a quick look and coughed twice in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, General Andre, I came in a hurry this time and ended up bringing this conceptual drawing of ours."
Conceptual drawing? Andre immediately became interested: "Do you have any new ideas?"

"Yes, General Andre, our international cooperation this time is very smooth." Alexander said: "The Super Seven fighter jet we jointly developed is quite popular in third world countries, so we are imagining that as the times continue to progress, those countries with economic strength will definitely want to equip stealth fighter jets, such as China, which will definitely have a demand. However, our own current stealth aircraft project is extremely confidential, so it will never be exported. Therefore, perhaps we can use foreign investment and continue to use the current method to develop a stealth fighter jet specifically for foreign trade."
Hearing Alexander's words, Belyakov was stunned: "Comrade Alexander, how can you take out the abandoned project of the design bureau and make it an international cooperation project?"
An abandoned project by the design bureau? Looking at the sci-fi-like appearance above, Andre suddenly remembered a design plan in history.

MiG-37, codenamed Ferret by NATO, is a supersonic stealth fighter that was aborted!
Beliakov actually opposed this project. Although Andrei was young, he had a lot of experience and immediately saw Alexander's ambition. He certainly would not succumb to studying a low-end third-generation aircraft that was copied from a mountain village. He definitely wanted to develop a new fighter that could adapt to the trend of the future and then become famous. Unfortunately, he could not participate in the stealth aircraft project of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, so he deliberately found this alternative project in an attempt to be reborn through international cooperation.
A designer who doesn't want to be a first-class aircraft designer is not a good designer! Although Alexander played a conspiracy, in Andre's eyes, this was tolerable. Moreover, he was indeed very interested in this project.
