Chapter 554: A bigger one
“What about visual navigation?”
Gao Zhendong shrugged: “With the development of technology and changes in combat distance, landmark targets Visual navigation is of little significance anymore. Even if it is really needed, the image below the aircraft can be transmitted to the weapons operator's cockpit through the optical system. It would be a waste to occupy the precious space in the nose of the aircraft just for this. . ”
The nose of the aircraft is equipped with a radar. Gao Zhendong’s repeated emphasis on radar made comrades in the Air Force realize that this space is really of great significance.
Especially anti-ship, which is of great significance in the most urgent combat direction imaginable.
Air power anti-ship is something we have always wanted to obtain but have never been able to achieve. The Attack-5 rocket-assisted torpedo that Gao Zhendong saw in his previous life was an attempt. However, the range of a few kilometers of rocket-assisted torpedoes is actually It was of less significance than throwing an iron bomb, and the torpedo was not that big. What was even worse was that by the time this was done, it was already around the 1980s, and it was completely useless.
But the combination of what Gao Zhendong said before made comrades in the Air Force think of a possibility.
The radar on the nose, the "bomb-to-oil" range, the larger engine, the heavy-load hardpoint at the wing root...
Putting these together, Gao Zhendong would never have been imagined If you want to do anything, it would be to underestimate the comrades of the Air Force.
“Do you want to provide a copy of the IL-28 with a radar-guided anti-ship missile at sea in addition to close ground support on land?”
This statement is a bit confusing in terms of functional division, but Gao Zhendong can understand what he means.
“Yes!”
The comrades in the Air Force were filled with mixed feelings: “You are looking a little too far ahead.”
So much of the range has been improved , coupled with anti-ship missiles and low-altitude penetration, it is self-evident what Gao Zhendong is aiming at. He does not even consider the affairs on the other side at all. He thinks further!
In other words, the target he wants to attack is the root of the problem on the other side.
Of course, it was not easy to say this clearly. He could only say this vaguely, "long-term", which can also be interpreted as Gao Zhendong's long-term thinking in the application of missiles.
The chief engineer of the National Defense Work Committee suddenly interjected: "Are the anti-ship missiles too big? We do not have suitable anti-ship missiles."
It has been successfully imitated and has actual combat results. The Zhengxian-1, not to mention the weight of up to 2 tons, the size alone is no longer something that an aircraft of the size of the IL-28 can afford.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said vaguely: "Things are always developing. You can't stop a suitable aircraft just because there is no suitable bomb."
If someone else had said this, the Defense Working Committee would probably think that the literal meaning of his words was his true meaning.
But things were a little different here in Gao Zhendong. Seeing the mysterious smile on Gao Zhendong's face and his vague words, the leader of the National Defense Work Committee understood that he had something in mind!
It seems that he has also learned how to say some things without saying them when there are many people.
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee laughed: "Well, development is good, as long as there is development." This kid has always been exaggerated when crossing borders. It seems that it is not unusual to go from anti-tank to anti-ship. Much smaller than the gap between computers and armored steel.
After speaking, he turned to look at the leading comrade in the Air Force: "Old X, I personally think this suggestion is good, not bad, haha."
The comrades in the Air Force were shocked by his series of Hahaha, it was a bit baffling, and he always felt that something happened that he didn't understand.
But the opinion of the leader of the Defense Working Committee is also very important. Since he thinks it is good, it can also be taken into consideration.
Anyway, today is a seminar, a Zhuge Liang meeting. Some intentions will be discussed, but no resolution will be formed. It is always right to listen more. Besides, apart from the lack of suitable playing, this suggestion actually sounds It's really reliable.
"Well, this is an interesting idea, you can consider it. What about the tail cannon? Don't you want the butt?"
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "My idea is very simple, close ground support If it is, the enemy will not pose a threat to our tail and rear. If it throws anti-ship missiles, throw them from a distance and run away. The tail guns are not very efficient in the first place. They only have a psychological and harassment effect. Now that missiles are gradually becoming more popular, for bombers, For this target, the enemy will basically not enter the effective range of the tail gun. It is better to cancel it and save the weight of the entire gun system to load oil and ammunition. "
Although the enemy's infrared air-to-air missile can only fire. The performance of tail pursuit is average, but from the perspective of the bomber's maneuverability, these bombs may not be reliable when hitting fighter jets, but to hit aircraft such as the Il-28, there is no need to enter the range of the Il-28's tail gun.
Gao Zhendong made a calculation for everyone: "The weight of the entire tail gun system is several hundred kilograms. Don't forget, the gunner is also part of the system, and the gunner's life support system and communication device must be added. After a series, there are not only 300 kilograms, but also 200 kilograms. "
The NR-23 aircraft gun used in the Il-28 tail gun, not counting the turret and movement mechanism, is the gun itself. 39 kilograms, with two doors and connecting parts, it is hundreds of kilograms. Add in the things mentioned above and the cannonballs, and the weight is incredible.
However, in order to use the same parts as Mr. 6, the NR-23 was replaced by a copy of the AM-23 for the later successfully copied Z-5, but there was still no essential difference in weight. This account made the comrades very confused.
This thing is indeed expensive, but to say it is completely useless, at least in the current environment, it seems to be somewhat useful.
In the end, the Air Force stepped on the brakes: "Since the engine, fuel and other aspects have been improved so much, it is better to keep this gun. The price can be afforded."
How about being wealthy? , the Air Force, which had become optimistic in other aspects, also sounded much louder.
Gao Zhendong did not insist on his opinion, but smiled happily. This is not the most core change. If it cannot be changed, forget it. It is easy to change it later.
To a certain extent, this improvement point is what Gao Zhendong brought out for others to cut. I can't just listen to you and not adjust at all, right? This kind of secondary issue is brought up for everyone to play on.
At worst, when flying level or breaking away from an attack, just listen for the sound of the muzzle pointing down, which can startle the enemy.
This is called abandoning soldiers to protect the commander, and Gao Zhendong changed to bomb-5. The core of the change is its main tactical tasks and usage methods. Details such as the tail gun are not a big problem. When the time comes, he does not need to mention it. The Air Force feels that very.
This is also a little trick Gao Zhendong’s mentor taught him in his previous life: “In your report, it’s best to leave some innocuous small mistakes for others to pick. Otherwise, if others can’t pick out the small mistakes, they will I’ve found a big problem with you. Hey, why am I telling you this? Your report is full of minor problems, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Not to mention, the instructor is pretty good.
“What about tactical bombing?” Some comrades put forward their own opinions.
Gao Zhendong smiled: "Well, the aircraft modified according to the above plan can still carry out tactical bombing, but its performance is stronger, but it has not lost its ability to carry out tactical bombing. It is needed "
When everyone thought about it, this was really the case. The comrades who raised this question laughed and patted their heads, jokingly saying, "I'm confused, I'm confused."
After the Air Force summarized the improvement points of the Il-28 replica, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. This thing looks really good.
A larger bomb load, a larger range, better protection, and better fire control, this is a flying tank!
There is no better time to lick the front line, this is the real successor of the Il-10!
I heard that Comrade Gao Zhendong is also the deputy chief engineer of the second-generation tank. He has moved the tank to the sky!
At this time, no one expected that among the five aircraft of this generation, apart from the longevity of the flying tractor, this aircraft has been equipped in the equipment sequence of our army for the longest time.
Not to mention Zhan-5 and Zhi-5, even the Attack-5 combat type couldn't survive it.
Nothing else, it is really easy to use, cheap, the leather is strong and durable, the armor is thick, the ammunition capacity is not small, and the weapons are quite abundant.
Even in the 21st century, some pragmatic countries even require it to be changed into a turbofan engine, remove the radar and install good optical and infrared sights, and then buy it to fight local armed forces. The production line of this aircraft has never been shut down.
We have basically reached a consensus on the improvement of the IL-28. This modification is good, but it leads to another problem.
"Comrade Zhendong, we generally understand your thoughts on attack aircraft. It is logical that the bomber only retains a new type of Tu-16 imitation type. But what about the current Attack-5? Some tactics that require high-speed penetration What to do with the mission? "
Gao Zhendong smiled: "This involves the things in the third-level fighter aircraft. My idea is to change the attack-5 to a multi-purpose fighter, and the existing fighter-6. Low-speed production or further improvement. After the G-5 combat type matures, the G-5 combat type will be used as the main front-line fighter, while also taking into account tactical tasks such as battlefield interdiction. "
Fuck, you are making more noise than the bomber just now. It’s even bigger!
In Gao Zhendong’s previous life, he bombed the -5 throughout his life, with only more than 300 domestic equipment. Of course, if he really changed to an attack aircraft in this life, the equipment might be even larger. After all, he occupied an area all at once. It has two ecological niches: tactical light bombardment and ground attack aircraft.
But compared with the Zhan-6 in the previous life, it is still pale in comparison. Since the Zhan-7 has not been able to form combat effectiveness, Lord 6 produced more than 5,200 aircraft, most of which were equipped by himself.
0.5 million, rounded to 10,000! From this number, we can see how much impact Gao Zhendong's suggestion will have, even if Master 6 in his previous life actually had an abnormal number due to the failure of Masters 7 and 8.
