The development of our country has gone through several stages, among which cooperation with Russia has become a striking chapter. In 2019, China introduced the Mi 171 series made in Russia, which attracted widespread attention. Although China already has a series of independent research and development of the Z-20, Z-8 and other series, what is the reason behind the introduction of the Mi 171 series?
Looking back on the history of China's development, due to the lack of R&D experience and the blockade of foreign technology, the industry has lagged behind for a long time. From the late 80s to the early 90s, China ushered in a leading period of technology through technical exchanges with Western countries, which laid the foundation for the modernization of China's leading industry. However, in the late 90s, China could no longer import from Europe and the United States, which made the industry face a bottleneck again.
Although China has independently developed the Z-20, Z-8 and other models, in order to rapidly increase the number of Y-8 and improve combat capabilities, China has to choose to introduce Russian-made products
After 2015, China's first-class design level has been continuously improved, and new models have been gradually introduced, such as straight 8G, straight 8L, etc. Although new models such as straight 8G and straight 8L have gradually replaced the imported Mi-171 series *** to become the main force of China's army aviation and airborne, due to urgent demand, in 2019, China once again introduced 86 Mi-171 series from Russia to fill the gap of insufficient production capacity of straight 8.
With the improvement of China's production capacity and the increase in the production of straight 8G and straight 8L, the future will gradually replace imports and the introduction of the Mi 171 series will provide a way for China's army aviation, airborne and other troops to quickly equip them, and also promote the development of China's industry. China's leading industry is ushering in more development opportunities, looking forward to the future, there will be more wonderful stories.
