Chapter 44 No. 44 steps onto the modern class
The Type 956 destroyer is a new type of warship designed and built by Lao Maozi in the 1970s and 1980s. The first warship in service was called the Hyundai, and NATO casually named the entire series the Hyundai class.
As for the Steadfast, it is the seventh warship of type 956. Construction started in 1982, launched in 1985, and entered service in 1986. It is the third modern-class ship of the Pacific Fleet.
Now, Qin Tao and Zhao Ling boarded the warship, which was fully loaded with a displacement of more than 8,000 tons. They stepped on the brick-red anti-rust paint deck, and both of them felt excited.
"The Soviet navy is really powerful. It would be great if we could have a battleship like this!" Zhao Ling couldn't help but sigh, without any concern that this sentence violated her status as secretary.
“Yes, the Soviet Navy of this era is indeed the most powerful, the only Red Imperial Navy in the world that can compete with the US Navy.” Qin Tao also sighed with emotion.
The two communicated in Chinese. Nicholas on the side did not know what the two were talking about, but he could tell that the two were sighing at the power of this warship.
They came up from the gangway at the bow of the ship, so the first thing they saw was the layout of the ship's bow, with twin 130mm naval guns, two quadruple supersonic anti-ship missile launchers, and the white on top of the bridge. Radomes, and roof-mounted radars on tall masts…
Zhao Ling pointed to the second deck behind the naval gun and said, "Can we go up there and have a look?"
"My friend, my secretary is very interested in this huge warship, and we want to go up and have a look." Qin Tao looked at Nicholas.
“Of course, no problem.” Nicholas was very generous.
Zhao Ling clattered along the gangway and walked up to the two-story building. The single-arm Hurricane ship-to-air missile launcher appeared in her field of vision. Her steps stopped for a moment and her breathing became slightly short.
Qin Tao said last time that he would bring her to see the modern class, and now, as expected, he brought her here!
There is also a milky-white missile hanging on the launcher in front of me. It is different from the domestic Hongqi 61 missile. It has four huge side wings in the middle, and the tail fin behind is arranged in a trapezoidal shape. The entire missile looks more full. Modern, in front of the side wing, there is a Russian number written: 9M38.
(Hurricane is the name of the ship-to-air missile system, and 9M38 is the name of the missile mounted on it. This should not be in Russian, but the Russian name was not found by Hero of East China)
“What are you doing standing around, let’s go up and have a look?” Qin Tao said.
They can not only step up to the second deck here, but also step up the ladder on the side of the missile launcher, and stand on the launcher. This station was originally used for missile hoisting.
Zhao Ling took another deep breath, then took big steps and climbed up.
A white figure appeared on the missile launcher. The sea breeze blew her short hair and her windbreaker. She stood on it and looked at the milky white 9M38 missile with a complicated expression.
The famous regional air defense missile system Rif is actually an improvement on the land-based S300. The hurricane in front of us is actually the naval version of the Lao Maozi ground-based air defense "Gango" missile system. The name is not famous, but the NATO code name SA-11 (Sam-11) is famous. It belongs to SA-11. An upgraded version of the M-6 missile system. (The model numbers are too confusing, should we just use NATO code names for them all?)
Nicholas looked at Zhao Ling's figure and said with emotion: "Qin, your secretary has a very different personality from the last secretary. Your life is really too colorful."
Qin Tao touched his nose and smiled without saying a word.
Nikolai did not doubt Zhao Ling's identity. After all, this warship was too ordinary. If Qin Tao asked to go to the aircraft carrier or cruiser to have a look, perhaps Nikolai would doubt the purpose of the two coming. Now, The two of them just met the world on a destroyer, which was nothing at all.
Zhao Ling stood there for more than ten minutes before walking down. She returned to her secretary form, but there was already something in her heart.
As a missile system engineer, she must develop a more advanced ship-to-air missile system! There will be bread, there will be everything.
Qin Tao didn't say much. He looked at the brick-red anti-rust paint under his feet and felt a little emotional. He didn't know what Lao Maozi was thinking, but he actually used this kind of single-arm launcher to hollow out the bottom of the platform. It's obvious that a vertical launch unit can be inserted into it.
Maybe Lao Maozi doesn't care, they have many anti-aircraft ships.
Stepping down from the modern class and continuing to move forward, warships appeared one after another in front of their eyes. The navy of the Red Empire in the late 1980s was the most powerful time. Look at so many warships. Some of the ships are very young. Thinking about those rusty and outdated warships owned by Lao Maozi in later generations, it makes people even more emotional.
Only a strong country can maintain a strong fleet.
We went all the way to the end, but no suitable warships were seen. Either they were too new, or Nikolai was a little hesitant.
Surface ships and submarines are different. If they are sold directly to Nikolai without going through formal procedures, Nikolai will also be in trouble. Nikola needs to manage relationships, which is very cumbersome.
After walking through the entire military port, there was still nothing good. Qin Tao's eyes were filled with regret, and Nicholas was unwilling to accept it. He rolled his eyes and said, "How about going to our naval aviation?" Check out the base?"
The things here cannot be sold. Over at the aviation base, there are still some junk goods left to be exposed to the sun and wind. It would be very good if those things could be exchanged for cans.
“Okay.” Qin Tao’s eyes also lit up.
The group of people got into the car and headed towards the naval aviation base.
The navy not only operates on the sea, but also in the air above the ocean. Therefore, the navy also has aviation. This is not only limited to carrier-based helicopters, but also carrier-based fixed-wing aircraft on aircraft carriers. The navy also needs a large number of land forces. Only basic aircraft will do.
Even if the motherland’s navy does not yet have carrier-based helicopters, it already has a large number of shore-based aircraft. The famous sea and air hero Wang Wei’s J-82 fighter is a land-based fighter. The Navy also needs various aircraft such as maritime patrol aircraft, and their airport is a large aviation base.
As for Lao Maozi, it is of course even more spectacular.
