Chapter 914 Whoever commits a sin shall be held responsible
Pulse assembly technology is to be promoted in Panshan Group.
Because it can greatly improve production efficiency, it is a good thing.
Without pulse assembly technology, the output of many products of Panshan Group will be reduced by almost one third.
Then Liu Tao came to the J7 production workshop. This area is all for the production of J7 series fighters. The pulse production line here can produce 150 J7 fighters of various types a year. The workers here are already very mature.
Similarly, the output of J8 series fighters in Panshan Group has reached an annual output of 150.
As the current second-generation and a half fighters, the market for J7 and J8 series fighters is still very large.
Because the mainstream of the current market is the second-generation and a half fighters.
There are still very few countries equipped with third-generation fighters, and even the air forces of many developed countries in Europe are not equipped with third-generation fighters.
The third-generation fighters are still very luxurious for the vast developing countries. Except for those oil-rich countries, other countries will feel sore and painful when they see the price of the third-generation aircraft.
But the second-generation and a half fighters are different. They can still be purchased with a little effort.
The top-end configurations of the J-7 and J-8 are only $18 million per aircraft.
Among the third-generation fighters, the cheapest is the J-10 fighter, which starts at $25 million per aircraft, and the top configuration is only $35 million per aircraft.
As for the J-11 fighter, the starting price is $40 million per aircraft, and the top configuration is $60 million per aircraft.
Even the starting price of the J-10 fighter is $7 million more expensive than the top-end configurations of the J-7 and J-8 fighters. One basic model of the J-10 fighter can buy four basic models of the J-7 and J-8. However, the basic models of the J-7 and J-8 are second-generation fighters.
The best-selling aircraft among all aircraft are not the J-10 and J-11 fighters, but the J-7 series and J-8 series fighters.
Even if a very poor country really wants to buy, Panshan Group can come up with a plan to let it buy eight or ten.
For example, Tanzania, which has a 15-year friendly cooperative relationship with Panshan Group, has a squadron of J-7 and a squadron of J-8 with the help of Panshan Group. In addition to other J-5 and J-6 fighters, the Tanzanian Air Force is very capable in Africa.
Zimbabwe is also relatively poor, but it has a squadron of J-7, and with the J-5 and J-6 fighters, the Air Force has hundreds of fighters, which is also quite good.
Nepal is also a notoriously poor country. It had no navy or air force more than a decade ago, but now it has a squadron of J-7, a squadron of J-5, and a squadron of J-6, a total of 72 fighters.
When the J-5 fighters are completely retired from active service, the J-6 fighters are retired in batches, and now they are to be completely retired in 2000, they will naturally be exported as much as possible. If they are not exported, they will be sunk costs, and eventually they will enter the aircraft graveyard, rusting and decaying, and finally they can't even be opened.
This is undoubtedly a huge waste of resources.
And the service of new aircraft must ensure the production of new aircraft.
If the production of new aircraft is to be greatly increased, then the current pulsating assembly technology is the best choice.
Panshan Group not only needs to ensure that the domestic air force delivers part of it, but also needs to deliver orders to overseas customers.
The maintenance and improvement work of the J-5 and J-6 fighters before export, in addition to a large part of it being handed over to other domestic aircraft factories, another part has to be completed by Guizhou Aircraft Group.
All J-5 and J-6 fighters, except for a small number left as training aircraft, performance aircraft, and museum collections, will be exported as much as possible, and in addition to some of them being used as fighters, some are converted into reconnaissance aircraft.
The price of reconnaissance aircraft is much higher than that of the same type of fighters.
A J-5 fighter only costs 1 million yuan, while a J-5 fighter costs 5 million yuan.
A J-6 fighter only costs 2 to 4 million yuan, while a J-6 fighter costs 10 million yuan.
Many countries do not necessarily need J-5 and J-6 fighters, but they need J-5 and J-6.
Similarly, the J-7 and J-8 are much better than the J-7 and J-8 fighters of the same type.
In order to keep their technology secret, most of the Americans would rather retire and enter the aircraft graveyard than export them.
But China is different. Anyway, those are not advanced aircraft. They are all imitations of Soviet aircraft by China. If they are exported, they can make some money and the Air Force can also purchase more advanced aircraft.
Liu Tao came to the J-8 assembly plant and happened to meet the leaders of the Air Force who came to inspect.
The two sides shook hands. The leaders of the Air Force seemed very enthusiastic. There was no way. Money is the master. The Air Force had to buy on credit every year, and the credit had to be agreed by Panshan Group. If Panshan Group did not agree, the Air Force could not buy on credit.
Moreover, for the same type of aircraft, the aircraft produced by Guifei Group are large in quantity and high in quality, and are most popular with the Air Force.
The Air Force dislikes the aircraft produced by some aircraft factories.
Because screws will fall off, landing gear will fall off, and the engine will suddenly shut down.
Every year, the leaders of the Air Force will curse because of this kind of thing, pointing at the leaders of the Aviation Industry Corporation and scolding.
Since Panshan Group took over, this situation has never happened to Guizhou Aircraft Industry Group.
For example, the production capacity of Guizhou Aircraft Industry Group for the J-10 fighter jet is much higher than that of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, and the quality of the aircraft is also better.
As for the J-11 fighter, only Guizhou Aircraft Corporation can produce it at present.
The Air Force itself has a deep understanding of the excellent performance of the J-11 fighter, and there is no pilot who does not like the J-11 fighter.
This year, the Air Force plans to borrow 20 billion yuan from Panshan Group to purchase aircraft, missiles, etc.
To be honest, the Air Force has opinions on the tax reform of Panshan Group. After the tax reform, the price of weapons and equipment purchased by the Air Force has risen sharply.
The wool appears on the sheep.
In this case, not only the Air Force is cursing, but also the Navy and the Army.
Because the weapons and equipment they purchased have all risen sharply.
Because the weapons Panshan Group gave to the army are basically not profitable. According to Liu Tao, they are given to the army at cost price. But now Panshan Group needs to pay taxes and hand over 30% of the profit, so it needs to include taxes and profits.
Although the weapons and equipment sold by Panshan Group to the army are still far lower than exports, they have increased a lot compared with before, and the price of some weapons has even doubled.
For this matter, the military has complained a lot.
But Panshan Group cannot be blamed for this. Other military enterprises do not need them, but Panshan Group needs them. Panshan Group cannot sell weapons and equipment to the military at a huge loss.
This makes the military very angry, and they plan to significantly increase the amount of credit this year, bringing the credit to almost the same amount as the defense budget.
As for the credit, the relevant departments will pay for it in the end. They have to solve the sin they have committed.
Panshan Group cooperated tacitly. Anyway, these have to be deducted from the annual profits and taxes of the relevant departments, and Panshan Group is not the one who suffers.
