Chapter 179 Experience Card-29 (Additional Update 2)
Many things developed by the Novosibirsk Institute of Measuring Instruments are used by the navy. Therefore, Nikolai often comes here and he and Kuznetsov have become good friends. If there is a chance to make a fortune, of course he must bring good things with him. I got together with friends and had a thousand boxes of Erguotou. I drank part of it and sold part of it. It was definitely a pleasure.
Although Qin Tao didn't say it, Nicholas also knew that Qin Tao would send him his share, along with a boatload of watermelons, and then he would be responsible for transporting the rags here to the Far East. go.
After staying here for a day, Qin Tao, Nicholas and others continued eastward and returned to the Pacific Fleet base.
“Comrade Zaitsev, you have worked hard.” Qin Tao said to Zaitsev who had followed him all the way.
Zaitsev smiled and said: "It's not hard. It was easy for us to come here. However, when we come back, we will be able to see the new equipment of our naval infantry. I am really excited."
New equipment for naval infantry? Qin Tao was a little curious: "What?"
"Qin, since you are interested, let's go and take a look together. This batch of equipment flew over from Kumel's factory a few days ago." Nikolai said, "Although this equipment has been developed a long time ago , however, the output is too low, and our Pacific Fleet has only now received the actual machine."
Kumel, or did you fly here? Qin Tao thought about it in his mind, and then thought of something: "Kamov helicopter?"
Lao Maozi's military industry is quite developed, and helicopters are no exception. Mili Design Bureau's helicopters are mainly supplied to the army and air force. The famous Mi-24 Hind is their masterpiece. Naval helicopters are mainly designed by Kamov. It was provided by the bureau, and the production factory is in Kumel.
Kamov Design Bureau has been working on coaxial counter-rotating helicopters since its establishment, and it is the only one that has achieved fruitful results.
Since the emergence of helicopters, they have almost always had a large plate on the top and a small plate rotating sideways at the tail. This is also the most conventional layout. However, the first designer Nikolai Ilyich Kamov was a person who liked to get into trouble. In his eyes, this conventional layout has great flaws.
The propeller at the tail is used to counteract the reaction force of the rotor. It is also the most vulnerable part of the helicopter. As long as the tail is hit, the helicopter will circle and fall. Therefore, his coaxial reversing helicopter is advanced.
With such a persevering spirit, Kamov really matured this layout, and also won the favor of the navy.
Although the coaxial reversing helicopter is relatively tall because it has two large reversing plates on the top, it does not need a propeller at the tail, so the body is very short.
For the Navy, when arranging hangars on warships, the height does not matter, but the length is important. Therefore, the Kamov helicopter quickly became the standard equipment of the Navy, starting with the Ka-10, Ka-15, and Ka-18. , it is already very mature by Ka-25, and it has reached its peak state by Ka-27.
Looking at the appearance, there seems to be no difference between the Ka-27 and the Ka-25. However, the Ka-27, which applies a large number of advanced technologies, has twice the carrying capacity and five times the overall performance of the Ka-25!
Kamov Design Bureau's helicopters are already exclusive to the navy, but they are still not satisfied. They also want their helicopters to have powerful ground attack capabilities, so they have developed a special supply Ka-29 used in naval landing operations!
When Qin Tao arrived at the familiar airport, he saw a brand-new helicopter on the tarmac. The three-piece rectangular windshield reflected the dazzling sunlight. As long as he saw this part, he could be sure that it was a Ka-29.
Its prototype Ka-27 helicopter had two curved windshields, which perfectly matched its bloated appearance. Now, this kind of straight windshield forms a sharp contrast with the rounded body.
This is of course due to personal reasons.
The Ka-27 can be flown by two people, one is the pilot and the other is the pilot. However, the Ka-29 needs to attack the ground and operate weapons, so a weapons operator must be inserted between the two pilots.
Fortunately, this kind of helicopter is very wide, so it is okay for three people to squeeze in.
When you get closer, you can feel the height of this helicopter. Qin Tao stood there, his head just at the same height as the short wings on both sides. These short wings represent the positioning of the helicopter: armed attack.
There is nothing mounted on the short wing now, but you can imagine how majestic it will be when it is equipped with various weapons, such as multiple rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, aerial bombs, and even anti-submarine bombs, etc. , no matter what kind of weapon can be hung on it.
Qin Tao drooled at the sight.
What does the domestic navy have? As the main force, the four-ton Dolphin helicopter cannot carry anything. If it takes this thing back, what should the Navy reward itself?
“This helicopter is worth at least five thousand boxes of Erguotou.” Qin Tao said.
Nicholas smiled: "Qin, this is the latest equipment of our navy. Its value cannot be measured by Erguotou."
Although Nikolay likes money very much, a gentleman loves money in a wise way and can buy some junk. He cannot give up the most advanced attack helicopter in the navy right now. He still sticks to his principles.
Of course, Qin Tao just said casually that Lao Maozi is unwilling to sell it now. After a few months, there will be a bang and the house collapses. Someone will move out and sell these things.
“What’s here?” Zhao Ling stood on the right side of the nose of the plane, looking at a cover there, very curious.
The Ka-27 of the Lao Maozi Navy has a sea search radar under the nose, but this helicopter does not have that bulge. Could there be a retractable aerial refueling pipe in the cover of the nose?
Hearing Zhao Ling's question, the mechanic on the side smiled, and then pushed open the cover, revealing the barrels of a 4-barreled 7.62mm Gatling machine gun.
This kind of helicopter, if the pylon is removed, looks harmless to humans and animals, but it is completely a wolf in sheep's clothing and may launch a brutal attack at any time.
“This helicopter will be the trump card weapon of our naval infantry.” Zaitsev said.
“Yes, you have successfully aroused my interest, Nicholas, my friend, I wonder if we can go up and fly around and experience it?”
Even if it is a helicopter, tens of thousands of dollars will be lost in one takeoff. But at this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, Nicholas nodded without any hesitation: "Of course, no problem, you want to experience it, Then let’s go up and experience it.”
If it is a Western armed helicopter, it does not have a crew cabin. We strive to keep the size of the helicopter to a minimum, which can reduce the hit area.
However, Lao Maozi’s is different.
The Ka-29 in front of us is improved from the Ka-27. Except for the change of the nose, the overall body remains the same. Therefore, it also has a huge belly. If the weapon pylons are removed, it is a This transport helicopter can transport two tons of supplies, as well as a dozen naval infantrymen, and the weight of the suspended supplies has reached four tons.
Now, there is no problem in carrying Qin Tao and his party.
The top rotor whirred, and the two TVADTV3-117V turboshaft engines roared. Each of these engines can output 2,250 horsepower, giving the helicopter a normal take-off weight of 11 tons.
Now, with only seven or eight people on board, it is very easy to fly.
After taking off, the helicopter headed directly east and left the land. After all, for the Pacific Fleet, the sea is their stage.
Looking at the blue sea below, listening to the whistling wind above his head and the roar of the turbine engine, Qin Tao also felt relaxed. He knew that after having a good time today, it was time to go back.
Warships of the Pacific Fleet passed by below. Unfortunately, those warships were all in active service. He couldn't take them back at all. He would have to wait a few more months!
Zhao Ling on the side was also very touched. Of course she knew that this short trip was coming to an end. It felt like the honeymoon was over, which made her a little nostalgic, a little reluctant, and a little excited.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the radio: "The Steadfast reports that a US Aegis cruiser has been found and has broken into our waters!"
After getting on the plane, it was too noisy overhead, so everyone wore earphones. At this time, Qin Tao was also surprised when he heard the sound in the earphones.
what happened?
American warships broke into Lao Maozi’s waters?
This kind of thing was very common in the past.
After all, during the Cold War stage, although there was no misfire, the confrontation between each other was extremely intense. Generally speaking, Lao Maozi was on the defensive, and NATO was on the offensive. They often flew over with planes or fired missiles. The warship came over to provoke and test Lao Maozi's reaction.
Lao Maozi's reaction was of course very intense. What else can I say? Hit him!
In the sky, Lao Maozi’s planes will directly crash into NATO aircraft, and at sea, Lao Maozi’s warships will also be rude.
The most famous ones are the scalpel in the Barents Sea where the Su-27 cut open the right engine of the P-3B, and the collision of the USS Yorktown by the frigate Forgotten. However, those were all things in the 1980s, and in the 1990s Since then, there has not been any situation where the two sides were at war with each other.
At this time, Qin Tao suddenly heard that a US warship had broken in, and Qin Tao was a little curious. However, it happened that his helicopter was heading in that direction. Therefore, it was his duty to take command on the spot.
“Attention Steadfast, I am Nikolai, flying to the scene, you must drive away the American warships!”
On the sea, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The USS Bunker Hill guided missile cruiser is the sixth ship in the Ticonderoga class cruisers. It was built in 1984. After it was completed in 1987, it crossed the ocean and came to the Far East. It was deployed in Yokosuka, often in formation with the USS Independence. .
Now, it is indeed strange that this warship has actually sailed into Lao Maozi's waters.
On the Steadfast, Old Maozi’s captain Volkov’s eyes were gloomy. He shouted to the people around him: “Let them get out!”
“Your ship is in Soviet waters, please turn the steering wheel and sail away immediately.” The radioman immediately shouted in the international frequency band.
However, the Bunker Hill still didn't respond and just moved forward.
On the Ka-29, outsider Qin Tao suddenly spoke: "Are the Americans coming for the Southern Kuril Islands? These Americans are so bad that they must be stopped with strong measures."
Hearing Qin Tao's words, Nikolai clenched his fists and no longer hesitated: "Steadfast, this is Nikolai. If they don't retreat, we can use ramming tactics if necessary!"
You can tolerate other things, but if it’s the Southern Kuril Islands, you definitely can’t tolerate it! Qin Tao's words made the fire in Nicholas's heart burn brightly.
“Our ship enjoys the ‘right of innocent passage’ granted by international law. Please stay away from our ship and do not hinder the normal movement of our ship.” Finally, the Yankee couldn’t sit still, and watched the Steadfast getting closer and closer, and issued a statement.
Internationally, the right of innocent passage and the right of freedom of navigation are the usual rhetoric used by these hooligans. Instead of staying in their own country, they go to other people's doorsteps to engage in freedom of navigation. If someone else's fleet arrives at their doorstep, That's another way of saying it.
No matter what time, strength comes first!
“To **** with the **** right of innocent passage!” Volkov shouted loudly on the Steadfast: “Full port rudder!”
At this time, the Steadfast was already approaching from the opponent's left side. Following the captain's command from the left, the more than 8,000-ton warship split the waves, drew an arc, and struck hard at Bunker on the opposite side. The cruiser Mountain hit the port side.
"Damn it!" the American captain cursed loudly: "Quick, full right rudder!"
Who would have thought that the other party actually bumped into him!
The Bunker Hill destroyer was turning quickly, but it was still too late. Moreover, it was this turn that caused the Steadfast, which was originally aiming to hit the middle of the Bunker Hill warship, to miss its target, and instead rammed hard into the tail of the Bunker Hill. !
There, there are two sets of Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers placed on tilted supports!
The American Aegis cruiser was also designed in a hurry. After the Aegis system was installed, it was suddenly discovered that there was no place to place the anti-ship missile, so they simply poked it directly at the tail. Anyway, it was not good for the Americans. Generally speaking, there is no hope of using this weapon to attack the enemy. The US Navy's attack force is a powerful carrier-based fighter jet.
Now, the bow of the Steadfast has slammed into the Harpoon anti-ship missile launcher, bang! Amidst the huge impact, visible to the naked eye, the Harpoon missile launch tube changed direction, with the mouth of the tube pointing towards the sky, and then, a ball of flame suddenly rose.
Thick smoke billowed, covering the impact area. At this moment, Volkov's eyes were full of excitement: "Damn the Yankee's ass!"
