Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 994

“That gunship? I don’t know yet.” Xie Kai was taken aback by the sudden change of topic.

He didn’t know what was going on.

Liao Dong hasn’t returned yet, and he doesn’t know when Liao Dong will do it.

If the river crab mercenary group can’t steal this helicopter, it will have to blow it up at that time, so as not to make the United States cheaper.

Although the United States paid a considerable price for this helicopter, it was blackmailed by a poor country like Chad. It not only paid US million but also presented a ship of FIM-92 “Stinger” shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile.

The Americans can pay such a big price, and they certainly won’t be without staff to keep an eye on it.

After all, if you want to get the Mi-24 gunship and thoroughly understand the combat performance of this Soviet armed helicopter equipped with thousands of gunships, you won’t have this shop after you pass this village.

“In a hurry?” Xie Kai asked the two of them.

Before returning to the base, he did not know the specific situation of the helicopter. From the beginning, although the Zhi-7 team was taken over by 404, it was always in a situation where the grandmother didn’t hurt and the uncle didn’t love it.

So far, there has not been a fully professional army aviation force in China.

Only when the Gulf War broke out and the whole world shuddered after the Americans’ sharp combat model supported by information technology could change the thinking of China’s domestic military construction.

Even now, because of the strength of the Soviet Army, the domestic military wants to build a torrent of steel like the Soviet Union.

Therefore, even if you know that the 59 tank performance is lagging behind, you will have to produce a batch of equipment units every year to slowly build up your family. Similar to the idea of ​​silly damu, a lot of tanks were consumed in the war, and the purchase of advanced tanks could not afford the money, so the number of tanks like 59 was used to solve the problem.

How do they know that in the future three-dimensional battlefield and high-profile battlefield awareness, wars no longer depend on numbers to win or reverse the situation.

“The special operations brigade is applying for armed helicopters… and the Zhi-8 simply cannot install numerous anti-tank and ground-fire support ground weapons systems…” Wang Guilin introduced the situation.

Xie Kai frowned.

The Zhi-8 was originally a multi-purpose transport helicopter. The French Super Hornet was introduced. It was initially used as a carrier aircraft, and at most some anti-submarine equipment was added.

“The French SA-365N Dolphin helicopter was not introduced in China before. That can be changed into an armed helicopter.” Xie Kai said.

Domestic equipment has been imported from many Western countries. The Zhi-9 is the patent for the introduction of French Dolphin helicopters, but it does not seem to be a domestic armed helicopter.

A truly powerful armed helicopter will have to wait until after the 21st century when the Wuzhi-10 armed helicopter designed and developed independently by Chinese experts will appear.

Buy from abroad?

Don’t even want to buy advanced defense equipment.

National defense, that can’t be bought.

“That’s not very good. The localization has not been completed until now. The fourth stage has not been completed. The French side provides tail beams, vertical tails, side vertical tails, horizontal stabilizers, and transmissions that do not include the main shaft and the tail drive shaft. The system and some of the raw materials, and the rest are completed by our own, and have not yet been completed. The core spindle is processed in our precision machining workshop…” Wang Guilin shook his head and smiled bitterly. “The money has not been given less. The French do not really want to help us. A lot of technical information is not included in the technology transfer…”

“You can find them.” Xie Kai was speechless.

It is no wonder that the output of Zhi-8 and Zhi-9 before the 21st century has not been very high, and a total of dozens of them were produced.

So the domestic even imported helicopters like Mi-171 from Russia.

Until the later Zhi-20 appeared.

Domestically produced is more reliable, although the technology is not as advanced as foreign ones.

“It’s useful to find them? Do you remember that you pitted Pakistan’s technology royalties? We lack the basic technology, and they will definitely not provide them. Just like they provide materials, but they don’t provide tools for processing these materials, and they won’t give them. Our craftsmanship…” Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai, the bitterness on his face even worse.

Xie Kai can use this method to cheat Pakistan, which has no technical foundation, but cannot blame the French for cheating on China with the same method.

Without technical foundation, one cannot blame others.

Xie Kai was stunned.

He really didn’t think of such a problem.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The more I understand the truth of the matter, the more I feel that these things are difficult for humans to solve.

In such a situation, you can either give money to buy basic technology and accumulate experience yourself; or you can only invest more manpower, material and financial resources to research yourself, and slowly accumulate experience yourself.

“What do you think?”

“We do it ourselves. Anyway, we don’t have a GM helicopter in our country. If it is really developed, it will be used as a prototype at that time. Domestic troops will not need it and can be exported. Anyway, it will not lose too much.” Zheng Yucheng is now selling very well. heart.

The domestic troops are poor, the prices are low, the profits are thin, and they cannot be sold unless they are sold.

It’s great to be specialized in exporting.

If people don’t give enough money to earn foreign exchange, they don’t need to sell it.

“So, we need that Mi-25. You ask your brother-in-law to work hard over there to see if you can get the information.” Wang Guilin was also very moved by this. “Don’t say anything else, as long as it is done, Pakistan will buy a lot of it.”

“…” Xie Kai was a little speechless.

Now I’m talking about the loan to sell weapons and equipment to Tanzania. These two old guys are not serious at all, and they are very crooked.

“So, you have to ask them to get the helicopter back as soon as possible…” Zheng Yucheng continued, “We are based on the Zhi-6 and Zhi-7, and we have the Mi-25 modified from the Mi-24. The products of the Mili Design Bureau can quickly tie the gap with the Soviet Union in this regard.”

Both the Zhi-6 and the Zhi-7 were improved and designed on the basis of the Zhi-5, although they were not equipped with troops because of their poor technical foundation.

However, these two projects have been carried out for more than 20 years, and the domestic experience and technology obtained are quite a lot.

In China, 545 Zhi-5s were produced, which was an imitation of the Mi-4, an early product of the Soviet Mili Design Bureau.

Mi-24 is also a product of Mili Design Bureau.

Before the appearance of the Mi-24, the Mili Design Bureau had always been engaged in the design of special transport helicopters.

Therefore, the Mi-24 type of armed helicopter is the development direction of helicopter design that needs to be understood in China.

“Do you really want to engage in a gunship?” Xie Kai was a little uncertain.

In the area of ​​helicopters, domestic technical reserves are too small. Even with the design and research experience of Zhi-6 and Zhi-7, the gap with the international market is very large.

Otherwise, there are really useful helicopters in the country, and it will not wait until the general Zhi-20 following Wuzhi-10 appears.

It took decades.

He understood the characteristics of this era and clearly knew that the failure of technology to achieve breakthroughs was not due to the lack of efforts of the national defense science and technology workers, but the failure of supporting them.

“Fuck it. Now we don’t have any new things coming out, so we can’t always sell the third one in the future, right?” Zheng Yucheng said with a worried expression.

The largest exports of the base are 359 tanks, ground red flags, and avant-garde air defense missiles.

And the number of exports is unimaginable.

Without the emergence of new things, there will be no way to acquire new customers.

Gunships are the most effective way to counterattack armored clusters.

“Okay, I’ll urge you.” Xie Kai was speechless.

Anyway, it’s not bad money now, even if you can’t get it out, at least you can make Wuzhi-10 and Zhi-20 come out earlier.

“And your brother-in-law.”

“Ukraine does not produce helicopters. They only produce high-power engines for helicopters.” Xie Kai rolled his eyes and said.

You can’t expect everything from Ukraine, right?

He had never thought about getting helicopters from the Soviet Union before. Xie Kai has always focused his attention on the manufacturing technology of fighter jets, large aircraft and aircraft carriers, even if the tank is the king of land warfare, he is also watching.

You know, he even wants to get a tank engine manufacturer in Ukraine.

I never thought about helicopters.

It’s not that Xie Kai couldn’t think of it, but that it has never been taken seriously.

In addition, the base usually doesn’t pay much attention to it. It turns out that 404 does not have an airport runway. When you need to take the Zhi-5 to a nearby military airport for a transfer, Xie Kai hates the bad ride experience of the Zhi-5, but think about it.

Later, the special operations brigade next to the base was replaced by the Black Hawk, and the base’s airport was built, so naturally there was no need to take a helicopter to transfer, and I never thought of it.

Who would have thought that the River Crab Mercenary Corps wanted armed helicopters, and the progress of helicopter research in China at this time was not very satisfying.

“They don’t have a helicopter production plant?”

“Where are they. Soviet fighters and helicopters are all located in Russia…” Xie Kai was also speechless.

Most of Lao Maozi’s industrial base was established in Russia, the Soviet headquarters.

Otherwise, the Soviet Union would not collapse for decades, and the old Maozi would still be able to survive by selling Soviet heritage.

“In that case, we must get that Mi-25?” Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

Wang Guilin nodded in support of his opinion, “When we get it back, we first draw the drawing, and then take it apart, and the assembly is gradually improved in this way.”

“I said, two people, should we talk about business? Isn’t it about lending money to Africa so that they can buy our weapons and equipment?” Xie Kai was a little speechless.

Do the two old guys have such an interest in gunships?

There is no order, a lot of money is spent, and a lot of supporting work has to be done. For such things, Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin have been so active, which is completely inconsistent with their style.

Seeing the two old guys nodding their heads, Xie Kai asked, “Is it necessary to form a special attack helicopter unit in China?”

Maybe they got the news that a dedicated armed helicopter team will be formed in China?

Isn’t straight -9 more appropriate?
