Chapter 468: The former Tomcat fighter pilot is very proud
Now Stroh needs someone to listen to him. He feels miserable in his heart!
He doesn’t care whether it’s confidential or not. Anyway, many people know about this matter, and he has become a complete clown! He needed to talk.
“It’s too much, they’ve gone too far. I’ve already gathered a lot of friends and plan to go there together. Who would have thought that they were actually lying to me!”
“Really? What kind of friends have you gathered?”
“The best person I have is the former carrier-based aircraft pilot Delano, who used to be my wingman.” Stroh said: “There is also the aircraft engineer Addison, the catapult commander George…”
Stroh named more than a dozen people in one go: "They were planning to go to the East with me, but now it's actually a scam!"
"Maybe you can go and have a look. After all, the Mingzhou Group in the East is very magical. The person in charge of this group, Mr. Qin, is a very good person. He will never deceive a friend and will definitely treat you warmly. "
Stroh opened his eyes wide: "Going to the East? At that time, Mingzhou Group promised to buy the Saratoga and transform it into an aircraft carrier park!"
"This is not your fault. Even if you don't buy the aircraft carrier modification, I believe that Mr. Qin will warmly welcome you."
"Go to the East? No, no, I have not completed my mission. I have no face to see Mr. Qin." At this time, Stroh still had a look of persistence on his face. A person like him can be an aircraft carrier captain. , it is definitely the mistake of the superior leadership!
Too upright!
The man accompanying the drink sighed in his heart. Mr. Qin was so accurate in his selection. This man's faith has collapsed and he was disappointed with his former superior. After going to the East, Mr. Qin will definitely stay if he cheats. .
"Even if I go to apologize, I have to meet again. As an honest person, how can I break my promise?" said the man who was accompanying the bartender.
Stroh nodded: "Yes, I need to go there. I want to apologize to Mr. Qin in person!"
"Do you want to take your companions with you?" Stroh shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with them. I can go alone."
"Are they yearning for the East? Just think of it as a trip, and we can go there together!" The man accompanying the wine continued to fool him. He was only responsible for fooling people there. Mr. Qin would definitely keep these people behind in the future.
"Okay, I'll take Delano with me. He really wants to see the east."
On June 18, Qin Tao took a plane from the base on Shuangsha Island and flew directly to Huating.
"Strow and the others are here. They are here this time. We must not let them go." On the plane, Xu Zhengyang thought of Qin Tao and said, "This is a request from his superiors. Both of them are excellent carrier-based aircraft pilots with rich experience." , we must keep all the knowledge they have!"
"Can't you let them go?" Qin Tao smiled: "Of course they have to go back."
“Go back?” Xu Zhengyang was a little surprised.
"What are they two? We still need more personnel. Don't we need someone to teach us about the various vests on those decks, the scheduling of those decks, and the takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft?" Qin Tao said.
Xu Zhengyang understood and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, these all require manpower, but for now, we must let them stay to help, and the superior leaders have instructed us not to reveal our plans without certainty. "
These are Americans after all. Who knows if they came here sincerely? What if the Americans played a game of Zhou Yu hitting the yellow cover?
You must not be fooled by the Americans!
In fact, when the warship returns home, there is nothing to fear. However, in order to avoid accidents and prevent those people from exaggerating threats, we still have to be careful.
Everything develops quietly. Before others notice, one's own side has become quite powerful, so this is fine.
Xu Zhengyang was very careful when he spoke. He knew that this request was too difficult.
In order for these people to stay and help, of course they must know that we are developing an aircraft carrier and need their help. Only in this way can you gain the trust of the other party, but if you operate in this way, you may be in danger.
So, what to do?
Xu Zhengyang was very worried.
Qin Tao smiled and said, "There are so many requests from my superiors, but it's not a big deal. I have a way."
Do you have any idea?
Xu Zhengyang immediately became curious: "What can we do?"
"Huashan tournament."
This sentence confused Xu Zhengyang. On the island these days, there will be martial arts movies on TV at night. Is Mr. Qin addicted? Those in martial arts movies are all fake!
“After we go back, we’ll find a few old guys, compete with them, and we’ll get useful information from them and sort it out,” Qin Tao said.
Xu Zhengyang reacted and looked at Qin Tao with eyes full of admiration.
Mr. Qin is Mr. Qin. No matter what problem he encounters, he can always find a solution!
Lao Maozi also has an aircraft carrier. Although it is called a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, it can also take off and land fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft. Therefore, it is normal for the two sides to have a dispute.
“Then let’s set up the reception venue at Huating Naval Academy?” Xu Zhengyang asked.
Qin Tao thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, we can also watch. However, after they come, the first stop is to go to our aircraft carrier park. We will start the debate there. Just from the deck Let’s start a debate with all kinds of vests.”
June 18, four o'clock in the afternoon.
Stroh and Delano came to the aircraft carrier park.
"You two, welcome to the East. I'm very sorry. I have some other things to do and I didn't go to the airport to greet you." Qin Tao stood at the VIP entrance of the park and looked at the two people walking over.
"Mr. Qin, you are too polite. You manage a huge group and have many things to do every day. How can I bother you to go to the airport to greet you? I'm just very sorry. I..." After Stroh came up, he started to apologize.
"We'll talk about work later. Let's have fun today." Qin Tao said: "During the Cold War, I'm afraid you used the Kiev-class aircraft carrier as an imaginary enemy countless times. Now, the Kiev is here with us. Let's get on it. Take a tour and feel how fast the world is changing."
Stroh nodded: "Okay."
Delano didn't say anything. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he wore a pair of iconic aviator sunglasses and looked energetic.
"Mr. Delano, let's go up together." Qin Tao greeted Delano warmly.
Delano nodded.
Xu Zhengyang glanced at the pilot. It was obvious that this guy was just trying to show off, pretending to be a pilot from the world's most powerful country. It was really funny. It was said that this guy was fired, but the specific circumstances were not investigated. .
However, Qin Tao didn't mind. On the contrary, he was still very interested in such an unruly pilot. Such a good character would definitely make him angry in a while.
With this thought in mind, Qin Tao continued to move forward: "First, let's go up to the stand from here. From the stand, we can see the entire aircraft carrier."
The park is cleverly designed. This stand is located at the entrance. After entering, you can take pictures here. Moreover, with the aircraft carrier as the background, it is very suitable for taking souvenirs.
Since it was already after four o'clock in the afternoon, there were very few new tourists coming in, and no one was visiting the stands for the time being.
"The overall view of the aircraft carrier? It should be called the overall view of the cruiser." Delano said: "You can't tell it is an aircraft carrier at all."
The starboard side of the Kiev aircraft carrier is leaning against the shore, so what you see is the huge starboard island, which occupies almost one-third of the space of the ship. There are anti-ship missiles in the front and only a deck area in the back.
So, it really doesn’t look like an aircraft carrier.
"Yes, in order to attract people, we call it an aircraft carrier. Lao Maozi has never called it that. They have always called it a heavy aircraft carrier cruiser." Qin Tao said.
"This kind of warship is simply nondescript!" Delano said: "The aircraft carrier is a delivery platform for carrier-based aircraft. The task of launching missiles can be left to other **** warships in the fleet. This kind of warship still wants to fight alone. It’s really funny to fight alone.”
"Well, different countries have different strategies." Qin Tao said: "Mao has never thought of fighting you at sea. Their warships are to protect underwater submarines."
This is a different tactic. The Yankee World Police must send troops to any place at any time, so it needs a big killer like an aircraft carrier as an offensive force. What about the Red Empire? They have always been pursuing the path of nuclear peace. They want to install nuclear warheads on any weapon. They have never thought about dueling the enemy at sea. Their surface ships are just to eliminate the enemy's underwater power and protect their nuclear submarines. In the appropriate sea area, the enemy can launch a nuclear bomb attack at any time.
The original Moskva class had this purpose, and the later Kiev class also had the same purpose. As a mast guard, the Yak-38's task was to drive away enemy anti-submarine helicopters, and it never thought about air combat with enemy fighter jets.
Using the Yak-38 to fight Tomcats is definitely looking for abuse.
“Hmm, their ideas are really strange,” Delano continued.
"Delano, don't be like this." Stroh finally couldn't help it anymore: "Change your bad temper. If it weren't for your character, you would still be able to fly now."
What was your original character?
Qin Tao became curious, there must be some inside story involved!
“This man, what glorious deeds has he done?” Qin Tao asked curiously.
“It’s nothing, I just beat up a **** guy.” Delano said: “When I was still in service, an Aegis warship captain wanted to return to land, so I performed this air taxi mission.”
So, occasionally fleet personnel would take fighter jets if they had urgent missions.
“Really? What happens next?” Qin Tao asked curiously.
“The guy in the back seat really thought he was sitting in a taxi. He thought the seat was not adjusted properly and wanted to readjust it, so he pulled the yellow and black tab between his legs.”
When he heard this, Qin Tao also opened his eyes wide.
Hmm, are there still such stupid people?
Qin Tao was shocked.
"The results of it?"
The results needless to say!
"The next moment, this guy was no longer on the plane. I flew the plane myself and landed at the Falon Air Station. After the helicopter at the airport picked up the **** guy, I punched him twice."
"You deserve a beating." Qin Tao said, "But I won't fire you just because of this, right?"
"Of course, there are many other things. This is just the most fatal thing. Before that, I had just received a warning because I flew a Tomcat fighter plane through a bridge hole."
Flying a fighter plane over a bridge?
Qin Tao felt that this pretentious guy seemed quite interesting.
Only the most skilled pilots will undertake these challenges, ordinary pilots have no need at all.
“Is there any more?”
“And I turned on the afterburner and flew over the aircraft carrier at supersonic speed, all over the captain who was drinking coffee at the time.”
At this time, several people had already walked to the aircraft carrier. When he heard this, Qin Tao couldn't help but ask: "Did you learn from Tom Cruise?"
“Of course not, Tom Cruise learned from me. The classic scene in Top Gun used my bold act,” Delano continued.
Qin Tao already understood that this guy was a man with a bad record, and beating the officer was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
However, Qin Tao is very interested in this guy.
“Now, you can no longer fly. What a shame.”
"What a pity. Tomcat fighter jets have begun to be retired one after another. Even if I still stay in the army, I will probably have to switch to flying Big Bugs. I hate that kind of aircraft. We need heavy-duty carrier-based fighter jets!" Delano said.
There used to be many types of aircraft on the American aircraft carrier, but later due to various reasons, the number of models became fewer and fewer. The F-18 gradually replaced other aircraft. This kind of role that originally only existed as a low-end aircraft later became the main force. It makes people extremely emotional.
Of course, many pilots in the U.S. Navy reject it, so they nicknamed the bumblebee a big bug.
“So, do you want to experience a heavy fighter?” Qin Tao asked.
Heavy fighter? Delano's eyes lit up: "You mean, I have the opportunity to experience the Su-27?"
Across the world, the number of heavy-duty fighter jets is scarce. The U.S. Navy only has one Tomcat fighter, and the U.S. Air Force only has the F-15. As for Europe? sorry, we do not have that.
The Su-27 of the Red Empire is already one of the few heavy-duty fighter jets in the world, and the East has also introduced this aircraft.
“If you have any ideas, I can help you get in touch.” Qin Tao said.
Delano's eyes flashed with hope: "Of course I do!"
For an eagle that once soared in the sky, of course he did not want to have his wings tethered. After being expelled from the US Navy, Delano once went to civil aviation, but after only flying for a few months, he ended this Life is so boring that he has been living on unemployment insurance and drinking with old friends when he has nothing to do.
The reason he came to the East this time was because he had too much free time and was encouraged by Stroh. However, now he suddenly felt that he had come to the right place!
It would be great if you had the opportunity to fly the Su-27, or even fly the classic aerial cobra maneuver!
Xu Zhengyang was a little worried. Did Mr. Qin praise Haikou too much? Is this kind of thing that easy? You know, the current Su-27 and J-11 are both for the Air Force, not the Navy yet.
However, since Mr. Qin has said it, it is Mr. Qin’s business. He has done a lot of deceiving people. How to fulfill his promise in the future is not his concern.
The entrance and exit is in the middle of the warship. After entering, it is a world full of Da Mao style. Delano walked into a shop and when he came out, he had a model made of bullet casings in his hand.
“This thing is really creative and I haven’t seen it in the United States.” Delano said excitedly.
Over the Yankees, luxury and waste are common. No one cares about the shells, so of course they won’t use them to make models.
In China, it has developed into a high-level art.
At this time, after hearing Delano's words, Qin Tao smiled: "Whatever you like, just take it without spending any money."
“No, we still have principles.” Stroh quickly stopped him, lest this Draenor really take away everything inside. This model is no longer cheap.
“Let’s go up to the deck and take a look. It’s completely different from the deck of your American aircraft carrier.” Qin Tao said.
The deck of the Kiev aircraft carrier is covered with titanium alloy rivets, which looks very special. When Delano stepped on the titanium alloy rivets, he began to express his emotions again.
"How can this be called an aircraft carrier? This is clearly a cruiser. This deck cannot allow aircraft to taxi at all! What are the designers thinking? Even the transfer of aircraft on the deck is inconvenient."
“This is because of the problem of high temperature ablation of the deck.” Qin Tao said: “So, they laid another layer of material on the original deck.”
"Ablative deck? Vertical takeoff and landing is unreliable. You have to have a conventional takeoff and landing aircraft!" After Delano finished speaking, he looked at the Yak-38 on display: "This kind of aircraft can also be called a ship. Carrier aircraft? It’s simply rubbish! The old man must have lost his mind!”
"What's wrong? This is one of the only two vertical take-off and landing fighter jets in the world!" At this time, someone next to him spoke. He spoke unskilled English with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"So what? Rubbish is rubbish, let it be compared with our Tomcat fighter jets? It will only be abused!"
As Delano spoke, he turned to look at the speaker. The man was not very tall, but had a strong build and bright eyes. He looked like a fellow speaker. The other party was wearing half-sleeves and shorts, and his thick hair was exposed. He was a genuine old man.
Only for being abused?
Of course this old guy was not happy: "Even when facing Tomcat fighters, as long as vertical take-off and landing fighters perform well, they can gain an advantage and even defeat Tomcats!"
"Defeat the Tomcat?" Delano seemed to have heard something interesting: "How to defeat the Tomcat? How to defeat the Tomcat? A hundred kilometers away, the Tomcat fighter jet can launch Phoenix missiles and kill Jacques- 38 was blown to pieces!"
"A hundred kilometers away? At such a long distance, you should use the PDSTT mode. In this mode, as long as we turn to vertical hover, you will lose the target!" the other party said.
Delano was stunned for a moment, how could the other party know?
PDSTT is the abbreviation of PulseDopplerSingleTargetTrack. Translated, it means pulse Doppler single target tracking. For the AWG-9 radar of the Tomcat fighter jet, this is the farthest mode that can launch an attack. Phoenix missiles are also in this mode. Under attack.
However, since it is pulse Doppler mode, its disadvantages cannot be avoided: it cannot search for targets flying perpendicular to itself. This target will be directly filtered as clutter. This is also to filter ground clutter.
Therefore, in an air battle, the pilot's essential skill is to turn sideways when the enemy's radar is locked on, and make it perpendicular to the direction in which the enemy is flying. This way, it will be filtered out by the opponent's radar and directly get rid of the lock.
As for the vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, there is no need to turn sideways and they can just hover in the air, which would be a complete mess.
"What, can't we attack?" the other party continued: "So, if you want to find me, you must use ACM. In this mode, the radar's detection distance will be reduced to within ten kilometers. At this distance, I can launch Short-range air-to-air missiles, shoot you down. Of course, if you find me disappearing from the radar and fly away directly, I won’t be able to catch up. You also said that the Yak-38 is a mast guardian.”
Delano, who had been talking endlessly just now and was extremely confident, actually stopped answering! This is rare.
"Okay, bye!" After the old man on the other side said this, he turned to leave. At this time, Delano just recovered from the shock.
“Don’t go, don’t go!” Delano shouted: “How come you are so familiar with the radar parameters of the Tomcat fighter jet?”
“Because we were once rivals, we have studied the tactics of using Yak-38 against Tomcat fighters many times.” said the other party.
According to the original script, it should start with the deck operator's vest, but unexpectedly, it cuts directly from the Yak-38. At this time, the old man used his tricks to successfully tease the arrogant Delano.
Moreover, this is also the specialty of this old man, his name is Shepkov.
Shepkov was the pilot of the Yak-38. He later accepted Qin Tao's invitation and came to the East. After that, he happily stayed in the East with his friends. Now, when Shepkov talks about this, it is a pleasure. .
"You can't leave. You stay. I want to continue the debate with you. We use Tomcat fighters to deal with Yak-38. It's a piece of cake. We also have optical detection equipment. We can use Sparrow missiles! Even with cannons, I I’m sure of it too!”
“Bragging!”
“Okay, don’t argue anymore.” Qin Tao said, “It’s pointless to argue here. Should we find a place to have a serious discussion?”
"certainly!"
"necessary!"
