Since intercept missions were no longer required, some performance indicators have been adjusted. For example, the 3000-kilometer combat radius is no longer necessary; it only needs a maximum range of no less than 6000 kilometers without aerial refueling, with a sprint flight speed of Mach 3 lasting at least 30 minutes.
Of course, more than 10 years of research played a key role.
The key is still sufficient funding.
As the saying goes, money makes things easier.
It only took 2 years for the Empire Air Force to receive 7 prototype Reconnaissance-333, completing all acceptance tests with high efficiency.
The final production model is essentially a large strategic reconnaissance aircraft.
