Chapter 783 Maritime Exercises
"Well, there is a lot of dust-laden history." Mr. Wang continued to introduce: "At the beginning, during the Prague Spring, this old expert was arrested and imprisoned. After he came out, he never worked for him again. Of course, Within a few years, the Red Empire was gone. At that time, Ful-Peh joined Tesla and continued to study this radar, model KRTP-86. Its antenna was erected high and there was a cylinder on the top. NATO Called a trash can, this kind of radar is technologically advanced and is said to be able to automatically track 32 radar targets and up to 48 airborne radiation signals. However, because of its high price, few units have been sold. Most of them are equipped by the Czech Republic itself. "
“Then, the local missile force bought this radar from the Czech Republic?”
"It is said that it cost four million U.S. dollars. For people at the time, this was definitely a high expense. But now it seems that no matter how much it costs, it is worth it because it breaks the stealth machine's Myth, in the past, we all thought that the stealth machine was omnipotent, but now, we also see its weaknesses."
“So, does this mean that stealth aircraft have lost their role in future wars?”
"Of course not. A weapon may temporarily lead the world, but it cannot lead forever. In our Eastern words, the Tao is as high as the devil, and the magic is as high as one foot. One thing can bring down another. No weapon can do that. It will always create myths." Mr. Wang said: "This time the F-117 crashed into the sand, it can only show that this aircraft designed decades ago has become outdated. Next, there will be more and more advanced weapons. Research and development, be used. We hope for world peace, but we also see that the weak will be bullied. Only when you are strong can you be the truth."
“Okay, thank you Mr. Wang. This is the end of our story about Zhang Zhong’s shattered myth. See you next time.”
elsewhere in the world.
“Was our F-117 really discovered by this passive radar?” A cold voice sounded.
“It’s unlikely. Even if this kind of radar can really detect stealth aircraft, it can only detect it. It is not a fire control radar, and it is impossible to guide missiles or even anti-aircraft guns to shoot down our stealth aircraft.”
“So, could it be that after discovering the location of the stealth aircraft, we used searchlights to find our aircraft?”
“This is even more impossible! However, according to our investigation, apart from the old SAM missiles from the Red Empire era, the only advanced missile the other party has on hand is the Kaishan missile bought from the East a few years ago.”
“Bought from the East? Huh, nosy will not end well.”
"Don't worry about how that plane was discovered now. Now, stop all F-117s. Since this kind of aircraft is outdated, let's let our B-2s fly! We also need to find a few special targets. bombing!"
East, the land of abundance.
“This fuselage is actually made of composite materials. In terms of materials science, Americans are really good.” Mr. Song said, holding a black fragment in his hand.
"Of course. Although we also have fourth-generation aircraft, there is still a gap between us and the Americans. Mr. Song, you have to work hard. The fourth-generation heavy-duty aircraft is still waiting for you." Qin Tao held another piece in his hand. Fragments, look at them and talk at the same time.
The other party kept its promise and gave some of the fragments to us. The most useful thing to us is of course the coating on it. The other fragments have been handed over to relevant departments for research. The remaining fragments are for everyone to open their eyes. .
"Well, we have to work hard." Mr. Song said: "Currently we are working tirelessly on the aerodynamic layout. The aerodynamic layout has been almost completed in the wind tunnel. Our new fighter will be a combination of many technologies. It is said that the MiG 1.44 aerodynamic It’s complicated, and the aerodynamic layout of our new fighter is more complicated than that.”
“Really? Tell us about it?” Qin Tao said.
Pleshakov on the other side immediately turned around and looked at Mr. Song with bright eyes.
Now, those who have access to these wreckage are of course the most reliable people in the country. Pleshakov has long proven his reliability with his actions, and he is also responsible for the next bomber research and development. Although the mission of this fourth-generation heavy-duty aircraft was kept secret, he had the authority to know.
So, Mr. Song talked about various technologies, such as canards with medium sweep angles, slat wings, various aerodynamic rudders, etc. These have been completed in the wind tunnel test, and then it is time to carry out the detailed design of the aircraft. Got it!
"Now, our Turbofan 10 has matured and is starting to be matched with twin-engine fighter jets. We are also waiting for the redesign of the Turbofan 15, which will reduce weight and increase thrust. By then, our fourth-generation heavy-duty aircraft will be able to have better performance. performance!”
"Mr. Qin, we just received the latest news." At this moment, Xu Zhengyang came over again. It seemed that there was something important.
“Well, tell me.”
“First of all, our jammer worked...”
Precision guided bombs rely on the satellite navigation and positioning system. As long as this system is interfered with, key targets can be protected.
“What’s next?”
“That’s right, has the B-2 been shot down?”
Xu Zhengyang shook his head: "No."
Pity.
Qin Tao knew that although he had made a lot of preparations, it was still too difficult to directly shoot down the B-2. However, it was good to teach those guys who didn't know the sky and the earth a lesson.
"what reason?"
"The opponent learned a lesson this time. Next to the B-2 that rushed over a long distance, there were also two F-16s accompanying it. When the ground missiles were launched, the two F-16s rushed up to block the missiles. These two The planes were all shot down and the B-2s ran away." Xu Zhengyang said: "But it was enough for them. I am afraid they will not dare to send B-2s to the battlefield again."
The B-2 was not shot down, but it made them frightened. In this way, they would suspect that their route was wrong. Is the stealth machine useful? In front of the anti-stealth radar, you are a scumbag!
Qin Tao nodded: "Well, it's pretty good to achieve such results."
"The superiors seem to have made up their minds." Xu Zhengyang said: "It won't be long before our H-6K and H-6J will be publicly displayed."
Although the jammer worked, some people should be woken up, right? Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, it's time for us to show off our swords. Should we show them directly?"
"The navy will conduct a joint exercise to display these new equipment during the exercise, and after the exercise, a naval parade will be held." Xu Zhengyang said.
Qin Tao has long proposed the naval parade, and the Navy has also applied for it several times. However, due to various reasons, it has not been held. This time, taking advantage of this opportunity, it will finally be held!
Qin Tao was very excited: “Can we participate?”
“If we want to participate, we can only board No. 112. This warship is used as a flagship for leaders to inspect other warships.”
Different arms have different review methods. The most common one is the army. The leader first rides in the review car, inspects the troops, and then returns to the rostrum. The troops under review line up neatly and pass the rostrum to salute, which is very grand.
Fighters in the air are also very convenient, as long as they fly over the reviewing stand.
The navy is complicated. How does the navy inspect it?
Transplanting experience from land, there are two methods at sea. One is an ordinary military parade, that is, all the ships under review do not move and line up in a single line at sea, and the Chen Cuo review ship is led from the front of these warships under review. opened.
One is the split type, in which the inspecting ship does not move, and the warships under inspection line up in a column and move in front of the inspecting ship.
Generally speaking, the latter is more powerful, so there are more review methods using the latter. However, no matter which review method, the leader has to take an extra warship.
Those modern warships are used for inspections, while the leaders can ride on ordinary warships.
Therefore, it is a supreme honor for No. 112 to undertake this mission again.
"Okay, then let's go to the 112th ship to join in the fun." Qin Tao said. He knew that it was normal for the shipyard's technical staff to stay on the warship during the trial and other aspects of the warship. However, the warship was in normal service, especially during the During the practice session, it is not appropriate to join in the fun. It is better to just be an audience.
May 10th.
The blue sea is rippling with blue waves, and a fleet is riding the wind and waves on the sea, moving forward bravely.
In the center of the entire fleet, the aircraft carrier with the ski jump deck is so majestic. The 001 on the bow is very dazzling. It is also the strongest warship in the entire fleet. With it, the navy has a steel Great Wall on the sea!
On the deck, various vests were busy. Among several twin-engine J-5 fighter jets, the black single-engine J-32 fighter jet was very dazzling.
That’s right, after a long period of hard work, the Navy has finally been able to put this stealth aircraft on the No. 001 aircraft carrier! This aircraft is put on the ship and acts as a sharp knife. Once it encounters a difficult target, it will be the first wave of attack force.
However, when the AWACS carrying the big plate was lifted from the elevator to the deck, these carrier-based fighter jets became dim. What are they? The carrier-based AWACS is the brilliance!
On the bridge, Wu Shengli was very emotional. In just ten years, the navy has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now it not only has aircraft carriers, but also fully equipped aircraft carriers. The combat effectiveness of the navy has been improved to a higher level!
He looked around again, and there was an Aegis battleship on both sides in front of the aircraft carrier. These two battleships were enough to take on the air defense mission, plus the two 051C destroyers at the front and rear, and the two 054 frigates on the sides. , forming an aircraft carrier formation with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
They did not mobilize more warships. The northern fleet alone was able to organize this aircraft carrier formation. After all, other warships had their own tasks, but these alone were enough. Unlike before, To form an aircraft carrier formation, the main force must be drawn from the three major fleets.
Wu Shengli looked into the distance again. No. 122 was also sailing. Their exercise this time was just for the people on that warship to see!
"When we built this warship, we planned to build it into the first warship in China. Unexpectedly, not long after it was built, it was already completely outdated." A leader at the bow of the ship said with emotion: "Over the years, our navy has developed a lot. Too fast."
“Yes, No. 112 is already a thing of the past. Mr. Qin, do you think our No. 112 ship can be upgraded?”
"If it is modified, it can still be positioned as a command ship." Qin Tao said: "Installing a powerful combat command system on this warship, and then upgrading the close defense system, just like the American command ship, we will also It can be dedicated to a dedicated ship.”
“Isn’t the command ship a bit too luxurious? Can’t we install a Hongqi-16 vertical hair and upgrade it to something like the 054? Its displacement is larger than that of the 054, and it still uses a gas turbine.”
Qin Tao shook his head: "If you install hanging hair, you will have to undergo major surgery. This warship was not originally planned to install hanging hair. The change is too complicated and the gain outweighs the loss. Being a command ship is not a luxury. We will definitely need it in the future. Okay. , let’s watch the exercise now, I think the first one to take off should be the J-15.”
Just as Qin Tao finished speaking, flames rose from the side of the aircraft carrier, and a fighter jet sprinted towards the jump deck at the bow of the ship like an arrow, and then pierced into the sky.
“Sure enough, it’s the J-15, the second one, the second one took off!”
In just a few seconds, two J-15s flew into the sky. What next?
Of course it is an early warning aircraft.
The two J-15s are at the short point, while the early warning aircraft is at the far point.
Before the KJ-600, few people would have thought that a bulky early warning aircraft could actually take off by ski jump! Now, the Kongjing-600 has achieved this capability.
After completing the test from Huangdi Village, the Kongjing-600 was put on the ship, and the test flight officially started on the 001 aircraft carrier. Of course, so far it has not been finalized for service. The Kongjing-600 is still continuing to test various performances. Improvements will be made, and when the 002 aircraft carrier is put into service, it will be officially put into service and mass-produced.
However, in various tests, the Kongjing-600 has shown its powerful performance, and fighting under its command has become a regular training subject for naval pilots. The navy's long-range attack capabilities, with the cooperation of early warning aircraft, , has made great progress.
Now in this important exercise, the KJ-600 will of course take part.
The two engines were started in sequence. Under the skilled body movements of the yellow vests on the deck, the pilot released the brakes. The AWACS quickly accelerated along the take-off line, slid onto the jump deck, and then successfully left the deck.
“Early warning aircraft are multipliers of air combat power. We had no choice but to use ship-based helicopters for early warning. At that time, we never dreamed that we would have fixed-wing early warning aircraft so soon.”
"Yes, thanks to the Mingzhou Group. Without them, the modernization of our navy would have been ten or twenty years late." Everyone said with emotion.
"Everyone, don't praise me in person, otherwise I will be proud." Qin Tao looked at everyone and said: "Moreover, this early warning aircraft is not only our credit, but also the hard work of a large number of technicians. It is the work of all our military workers. We have worked hard to modernize our military."
“Well said, Mr. Qin has done so much, but he is still so humble.” A voice came from behind.
Everyone turned their heads, with excitement on their faces.
“Old leader, why are you here?”
“Old leader, it’s windy outside.”
"What's wrong with the wind? I'm not weak enough to become a flower in the greenhouse. I'm too lonely on the bridge. None of you go up, they all avoid me, so I have no choice but to come down." After the old leader finished speaking, he looked Turning to Qin Tao: "Especially you, Mr. Qin, why don't you want to talk to me?"
"Of course I do. I'm afraid there will be too many people up there and it will be too crowded, so I'll stay with you now." Qin Tao said, sitting next to the old leader.
At this time, the first wave has been released, and two J-15s are flying next to the KJ-600, forming a maritime airborne early warning aircraft formation.
It was time for the second wave. The two closest take-off positions were occupied by J-32 aircraft. When the black-skinned J-32 aircraft took off into the sky, everyone looked at the sky and praised them.
“This black-skinned fighter plane is so beautiful.”
"Yes, if there is a war in the future, this kind of aircraft will be the first wave of attack force!"
“However, the F-117 has crashed recently.”
“Can it compare with ours?”
“Mr. Qin, what do you think of recent events?” the old leader asked.
"As Zhang Zhong said, no weapon can always stay ahead. There will always be more advanced technology to replace it. What we have to do is to keep our technology at the most advanced level, so that we can To form an overwhelming advantage over others, future wars will be fought with high technology. Even if the stealth machine is shot down, it is still very important. It is difficult for ordinary countries to obtain anti-stealth technology, but it still has value."
The old leader nodded.
“Leaders, after the J-32 takes off, it will form a formation with the H-6J. Now, the H-6J is flying towards us!” A voice sounded from the bridge.
There is a radio on the bridge, so you can know the progress of the exercise at any time. On the deck, you have a wide view, but the message transmission is slow.
Hang six J!
During this exercise, Dongfang’s H-6J was officially displayed!
"We in the East have been producing H-6 for decades. This Tu-16 bomber from the Red Empire has been seriously outdated. Therefore, we have been constantly improving over the years. The H-6J used by the navy is The latest modification of this bomber!”
The military parade at sea needs to be announced to the public. At this time, a beautiful military female reporter was holding a microphone and introducing to the camera. As she introduced, there was a roar above her head.
“Now, let’s take a look at HongliuJ’s style!”
The photographer raised the camera lens on his shoulder, pointed it at the sky, carefully adjusted the focus several times, and finally captured the shadow of the Hong Kong 6J.
Through the radio waves, the footage was transmitted back to the TV station. After processing, it was broadcast to the outside world that night.
On the TV screen, a H-6 with a special shape appeared. Its nose was more pointed, and there were huge rectangular air inlets on both sides, which extended back to the tail, and two huge engines spewed out. of flame.
This is a facelift of Hongli? Can the H-6 fuselage become like this?
The most surprising thing is, of course, the two huge missiles hanging under the huge triangular wing box behind the air inlet. This missile attracts everyone's attention, so that people ignore its variability. Swept wings.
What is this missile?
The exercise continues.
“Old leader, our H-6J is here.” An assistant said to the old leader and handed over a high-magnification military telescope.
Qin Tao doesn't need a telescope. He has good eyesight. Even without a telescope, he can still see clearly. The huge bomber roared through the sky above the exercise. The missiles hanging under the wing boxes were so beautiful. Spectacular.
It has been a long time since the last proposal to the current public display. There are many reasons for this. However, after this period of time, the exercises have become more complete, and the technology of using the H-6J to launch the YJ-21 has also It's more mature.
Two J-32s flew up and flew behind and on both sides of the H-6J. Their aircraft were also equipped with professional cameras that could film the entire launch process.
This is the first time that an air-launched ballistic missile has been launched in China!
In the 1950s, the two superpowers produced a large number of nuclear weapons, enough to destroy each other many times. They realized that it was meaningless to simply increase the number. They had to improve their chances of survival. How to avoid the first round of strikes from the other side and then expand Fight back.
Under this guiding ideology, both sides turned their attention to the sky. If a large number of aircraft can cruise in the sky and launch missiles immediately when needed, this mission can be completed. After all, aircraft have high maneuverability and can avoid Suffered the enemy's first nuclear strike.
If you want to launch bulky ballistic missiles, you need a large aircraft. The Americans studied the technology on the C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft. The Minuteman-1 missile launched at that time was still a liquid missile. After several experiments, they finally dared to launch it on the aircraft. Add fuel, then throw the missile out and ignite it.
But later the two giants signed a relevant agreement, and air-based ballistic missiles were banned. In 2013, after the relevant agreement expired, the Americans continued to carry out experiments. At that time, they already had qualified solid missiles that could also be installed in smaller C- 17 is in the transport plane.
However, what they are studying are intercontinental ballistic missiles, and there are very few intermediate-range missiles like those in the East.
"The biggest feature of ballistic missiles is that they are difficult to intercept. Even if the superpowers have researched relevant interception technologies, we can easily break through. As long as there is a change in flight, the interception can be disabled." Next to the old leader, Qin Tao began to give pointers: "And once our hypersonic missile falls, it can smash the aircraft carrier in half just by relying on kinetic energy."
“If we want to protect our motherland, we must have some killer weapons. These missiles are good, and when combined with bombers, we will be more prepared when facing threats.” The old leader nodded.
In the sky, after flying fifty kilometers past the exercise area, the aerial experiment officially began.
“Attention, the YJ-21 air-launch test is about to begin, and the countdown is now…”
