Chapter 567 The new generation of air platform that replaces the Yun-8
Ding Gaoheng naturally cannot know the content of Chang Haonan's slander, and just treat it as a normal emotion.
“Luck is only one aspect.”
Ding Gaoheng leaned on the office chair in a quite relaxed posture, habitually putting a cigarette under his nose and smelling it:
“If we don’t have the corresponding equipment, it’s impossible for us to capture that submarine. Even if we happen to encounter it, there is a high probability that the target will be let go.”
"The report submitted by the North Sea Fleet Carrier Aviation Corps also specifically mentioned the new equipment provided by the Ice Flying Group, saying that it played a very key role in handling the emergency."
< br>After finishing speaking, he took out a more neatly bound report (a copy of course) from the file box that had just been placed below and handed it to Chang Haonan:
" Let’s take a look.”
“Although you have probably seen a lot of this kind of thing, I can’t see enough of it anyway…”
Ding Gaoheng’s thin face almost beamed with joy. flower.
The fact that the army could write such a report, and even specifically thank the military-industrial system for its outstanding work, definitely made him look bad.
When a person reaches his age and status, there is not much room for him to climb up.
It is inevitable to start thinking about your posthumous name.
In particular, Ding Gaoheng's father-in-law was the first head of the Republic's military industry system, which is similar in nature to his current position.
It is inevitable to be drawn out for comparison.
Although limited by the times, there should be no chance to accomplish such great achievements as two bombs and one satellite, but it still has to be left with a few strokes of color.
Of course, there must be Chang Haonan’s imprint in it.
The landmark achievements made by the military industry system in the past two years are no less than those in the previous ten years combined.
This does not include the impact on parts other than the military industry.
Across the desk, Chang Haonan quickly turned over the front part and went directly to the summary at the back.
This kind of serious report to be submitted to the top is not the kind of conclusion that is completely unclear. The whole article only has a valuable background introduction in the opening chapter.
It’s okay to pick and choose the key points.
“The performance of the Z-9C aircraft has significantly exceeded that of the original French AS565 helicopter, especially in terms of range and mission load, but the carrier-based helicopter force still hopes to further expand the mission scope and extend the mission time, which is important for It is very important for anti-submarine warfare..."
"The French destroyer Jean Bart performed poorly in this operation. Diesel-powered ships are not suitable for anti-submarine warfare. The low and medium frequencies caused by the reciprocating piston The propagation distance of noise in the water is extremely long, and the frequency is highly coincident with the noise generated by the friction between the submarine body and the sea water when the submarine is sailing, which has a great negative impact on submarine search operations..."
"Only a small number of surface ships The anti-submarine warfare method with ship-based helicopters cannot cope with the increasingly severe underwater threats around our country. Although this surprise operation was successful, the initial discovery of the enemy submarine relied on coincidence, and the target submarine had already entered the anti-ship torpedo range. , Therefore, it is still necessary to strengthen the construction of our country’s anti-submarine capabilities..."
"In addition, the Navy's submarine force also needs new equipment. The long-term training of old submarines such as the Type 033 as imaginary enemies has seriously affected the combat readiness level of the People's Navy..."
"..."
The conclusion alone took almost three pages to write eloquently.
After reading it, Chang Haonan’s first feeling was admiration.
Don’t be arrogant when you win, and don’t be discouraged when you lose.
Even in the face of an operation that seemed to be a complete victory, the participating units still learned many lessons from it.
The People's Army has never been perfect, and has also experienced low periods due to various reasons that affected its combat effectiveness.
However, he can always regain his strong combat effectiveness in a relatively short period of time, largely relying on his spirit of learning.
Not only good at learning from failures, but also good at learning from victories.
“The summary is very good, and it can be regarded as pointing out a direction for our comrades in the military industry system, especially those involved in naval equipment.”
Chang Haonan closed the report and placed it on the arm of the sofa next to him.
Speaking of this, Ding Gaoheng put the cigarette under his nose back into the cigarette case, and at the same time put away his relaxed expression:
"You probably don't know something yet, The senior military officials took this matter very seriously and even directly brought some of the grassroots commanders and fighters involved in the operation to the capital and held several rounds of high-level equipment development strategy seminars."
"Such a large battle. ?”
Chang Haonan was stunned when he heard this.
This posture sounds a bit close to the bat hunting operation that went abroad to fight before and finally shot down the MiG-25——
You must know that it actually achieved results, and it also involved the southwest direction. Based on a series of complex strategic considerations, the actual jamming pod, which is very important for electronic technology, was seized.
As for the dike-building operation in response to the Royal Navy's provocation at the end of June last year, although the task itself was much more complex and grand in scale, the battle to sum up this aspect afterwards was much smaller.
If I have to say, through the unreliable performance of the Yun 8J, I realized that the air command platform still cannot completely rely on foreign countries, so the Air Police 200 was launched as a backup project.
“Of course.”
Ding Gaoheng nodded:
"Although no actual results were achieved this time, the military significance of using a mine without a warhead to directly hit an enemy submarine is not much different in terms of military significance."
"What's more, we are facing the Japanese..." After hearing this, Chang Haonan finally came to his senses.
From a perceptual perspective, the vast majority of Chinese people still have different feelings towards Japan and Britain.
From a rational perspective, everyone knows that although the Royal Navy may sound famous, it is actually already a thing of the past.
Even if a fleet is put together, it is quite a bluff. Now it is impossible to pose a real threat to China on the west coast of the Pacific.
However, as an important part of the so-called "first island chain", Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force has put a lot of pressure on it in this era.
After a short pause, Ding Gaoheng continued:
“In general, this incident made us realize that the anti-submarine pressure faced by the navy is at least not weaker than air defense, so we are Consider putting the construction of an anti-submarine warfare system on the agenda..."
When he said this, he didn't expect Chang Haonan to do anything.
Just think of it as someone to talk to about happy things.
However, although Chang Haonan’s specialized business is not in naval equipment, his influence is reflected everywhere in the field of naval equipment...
“Speaking of anti-submarine, I remember the 606 Institute The turbojet 14 aeroderivative that was previously developed should have been delivered to the 701 Institute of Shipbuilding Industry for actual testing. It should be able to alleviate some of the navy's urgent needs in this regard. "
If 054 can follow that Lin's instructions. Once Deputy Chief Qing's plan is finalized, it will become a general-purpose frigate with anti-submarine specialties.
Ding Gaoheng slapped his forehead and shook his head with a wry smile:
“Look, I forgot that the power of the ship has something to do with you...”
“It’s really hard to imagine... two In about 20 years, you have launched so many projects that transcend the times..."
The sudden appreciation even made Chang Haonan a little unresponsive for a while, and he waved his hand after a while:
"This cannot be attributed to me alone. Comrades in the entire military industry system also contributed a lot behind..."
After a decent but not too modest response, he brought the topic back to the part he had just finished:
"In addition, what is said in this report is reasonable. With helicopters and surface ships alone, For the complex sea situation around our country, it is indeed a drop in the bucket. We still have to consider equipping a fixed-wing anti-submarine patrol aircraft like P3C or Il-38..."
"Now let's wait. The only available model is the Y8. Although it is not unusable, judging from the progress of Shanghai Airline, the C808 passenger aircraft assembled with large parts should not take long to roll off the production line for its first flight, so it is better to wait a little and get it right in one step. Go directly to the jet platform..."
C808 is the Tu334 passenger aircraft produced in accordance with Chinese standards and improved using some of Boeing's public patents.
For most special aircraft, it is a much better flying platform than the Y-8 Category III aircraft.
It is even better than the P8A that will use the Boeing 737-700 platform in the future.
The most important thing is that since no parts from Western countries are used, there is no obstacle to converting it for military use.
"C808..."
When it comes to this model, Ding Gaoheng's eyes clearly show some importance:
"I remember that the maximum take-off weight of this model is It’s about 50 tons, which should be slightly smaller than the Y8?”
Although he is not a leader from the aviation industry, he still knows the basic performance of this key model.
“It is smaller, but the cross-sectional area of the C808’s body is designed in accordance with the standards of mainline passenger aircraft. It is much stronger than the Yun-8 in terms of cabin volume, flight quality, effective range, reliability and lifespan. ”
Chang Haonan explained:
“If nothing else, the range under full load is about 3,500 kilometers, which is more than twice the full load range of the Y8 air-tight model, and it has been modified When used as a military platform, the luggage compartment under the floor of the passenger aircraft can also be converted into a fuel tank to further extend the combat radius. "
"Furthermore, in the foreseeable future, the focus of our military's equipment construction will still be in the southeast and south. In the territory retrieval operation in the southwest, even if the battery life is slightly worse than that of P3C, the home field advantage will not cause a loss.”
“So, except for some models that really require take-off weight and ultra-large range, such as strategic reconnaissance aircraft or early warning aircraft, which need to wait for the larger C909 platform later, in fact, most special aircraft can be directly modified on the basis of this model. "
"And, there is one more thing."
At this point, Chang Haonan paused for a moment, as if to organize his words:
"I'm worried about the model C808. , at least in the beginning, it may not be so easy to open up the civil aviation market.”
“Being able to play a role in the military special aircraft platform can be regarded as a guaranteed order, so that the aircraft will not be exhausted after it is built. For sale everywhere.”
"Moreover, military users are also users. On the one hand, they can give feedback on some problems and suggestions during use, so that Hufei can make targeted adjustments and improvements. On the other hand, it can also be regarded as a demonstration to foreign users, showing that we believe in the products we have made." There is no problem with the aircraft, and it will help open up foreign markets.”
This is a rather euphemistic statement.
In fact, Chang Haonan was worried that internal enemies would cause trouble and cause some trouble in the aviation industry that he had finally pulled together.
The profits of the aircraft manufacturing industry are extremely considerable, and the operating space behind it is also quite amazing.
Under the leadership of the Science and Industry Commission, the development of domestically produced large aircraft has offended Boeing quite a lot. No one knows exactly how many people have been ruined,
The C808, as the first model after the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense took over the civil aviation industry, has countless pairs of eyes staring at it.
Chang Haonan doesn’t believe it if these people don’t do anything small.
It can even be said that the fiercest struggle in the civil aviation industry will not officially begin until the day when the C808 makes its first flight.
A few more layers of insurance can help people feel at ease.
