Chapter 763 Good machine and good ammunition

Chang Haonan, as someone who has seen J-15, J-16 and even J-20 in this formation, is relatively resistant to the elephant walk of JH-7.

 The main thing that impressed him was that he had the opportunity to participate in the modernization process of the Air Force and even the entire country.

 So, when he put down the telescope, Zheng Liangqun and Ding Gaoheng still hadn't seen enough.

“What a pity, this is only half a regiment, and it cannot be considered a third-generation aircraft.”

Chang Haonan smacked his lips after speaking, picked up a bottle of water from the side, unscrewed it and took a sip.

 Due to the different combat missions they undertake, the generation of fighter-bombers generally cannot be copied from the fighter planes. However, this is not a serious occasion, and it is enough to understand the meaning.

Zheng Liangqun took the telescope away from his eyes, looked at Chang Haonan sideways, and replied quietly:

 “12 aircraft, quite serious...”

“If this had been the case in the early 1990s, one of our regiments would not have been able to muster 12 aircraft that could move at any time…”

The normal establishment of a fighter regiment is 24 aircraft, and the on-flight rate of 50% does not seem high. However, for the Chinese Air Force in the early years, unless it was specifically grounded for a period of time to engage in a service support battle, half of the aircraft could be in flight. , they all belong to the elite among the elite.

The JH-7A was equipped with two PL-5Es, two PL-11s, two YJ-81s and two wingtip rangefinders during the military parade.

Although Chang Haonan has not experienced that era, he can be sure that at that time, Zheng Liangqun, who had just graduated from the aviation school and joined the front line of combat preparations, and Ding Gaoheng, who had just taken over the work of the Science and Technology Commission, definitely had different responsibilities than they show now. Just like the clouds and the wind.

By this time, the 12 planes had left the taxiway and returned to the apron. Ding Gaoheng also put down his telescope:

"I don't know much about the further details, but in 1984, the service support of reference aircraft was completed by a group of technical personnel from various manufacturing plants in the aviation industry system. Unlike now, the service support of reference aircraft is completed directly from the reference aircraft. The task can be accomplished by deploying troops.”

  However, early typical third-generation fighter jets such as the F15, Su-27, and Mirage 2000 have successively entered service in the air forces of major countries.

 “Speaking of the 1984 military parade…”

When the two of them talked about fifteen years ago, their tone was very relaxed, they were talking and laughing.

　　 is of course empty.

The JH-7 prototype replaced two PL-11s with two auxiliary fuel tanks.

 New aircraft are unstable and have a high failure rate. Old aircraft have been flown too much and have a high failure rate...

And the aircraft model must match—

"When we first got the Thunderbolt 11, it was still quite new to our comrades, but in the past two and a half years, the amount of active ammunition equipment, including the amount of practice during the training process, has also increased. Not to mention, there are so many equipment, such as J-8C and Basically every pilot of the third-generation aircraft unit can fire a live ammunition once, and some top troops have already begun to explore the tactical level. "

  In the mid-1980s, China's main force was the J-6, which was imitated from the MiG-19.

But looking back now, the situation back then was definitely severe.

Some JH-7s that have undergone mid-term overhaul have added the function of launching semi-active bombs, but the performance of the 232H radar is really poor in terms of air search. If the radar is replaced, both the cost and the construction period will be out of control. Therefore, the Thunderbolt 11 Generally it is still not used as the main equipment of the JH-7 unit.

Even the Air Self-Defense Force next door has been equipped with F15J since 1981.

 For many troops, the situation they face is that they have to use first-generation aircraft to fight third-generation aircraft.

It's no wonder that the scene of 12 JH-7s opening up the formation was already satisfying for the two of them.

“Let me see, it's pretty good to have these aircraft now. If there is anything that feels a bit worse, it's these airborne weapons.”

 After all, these are memories of bitterness and sweetness.

The output of the J-7I was very small. Until the J-7II was discontinued in 1986, there were still many technical defects that could not be solved. In particular, the turbojet 7B had an ablation of the fuselage in the early stages of installation due to the increased combustion chamber temperature. The problem.

Zheng Liangqun also chimed in:

"We kicked the Qiang 5 out of this military parade before because we found that the fuel level in this model was too low last time. After completing the entire parade mission, the remaining fuel was very tight. In case of special circumstances, it would need to circle twice. , the oil level has reached the lower alarm limit..."

Zheng Liangqun looked at the planes that parked at corresponding positions on the tarmac in front of him and said to Chang Haonan.

"However, once you really start to study tactics, you will find that semi-active missiles, especially mid-range semi-active missiles, still have too many problems. Although they can shoot beyond visual range, the aircraft cannot make large maneuvers before the missile hits the target. , otherwise it will be unlocked.”

"There is also the Eagle Strike 81, which is the same. However, our troops have not used this model before. It was during the last embankment construction operation. I heard from comrades in the Naval Aviation that the 50-kilometer range of the air-launched model is a bit short. , especially against the Americans and the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Aegis system, even ultrlow-altitude penetration is a bit unsatisfactory.”

 For Chang Haonan and Ding Gaoheng, this is very direct feedback from the front line.

“Luoyi 612 Research Institute is already working with the Pennant Design Bureau to develop the Thunderbolt 12. Normally, it is estimated that it will be test-fired from the end of this year to the beginning of next year.”

Although Chang Haonan has now become the leader of the Aviation Power Group, thanks to his position within the Committee of Science and Industry, he still has some understanding of the situation in the aviation industry next door:

“In addition, the Institute of Aerospace Technology is also developing an ultrlong-range air-to-air/air-to-ground multi-purpose missile, which can be used to counter radiation or deal with large targets at ultrlong distances.”

 “Ultrlong range?”

Zheng Liangqun just said it casually, but he didn't expect to receive feedback on the spot:

"how far?"

 For air-to-air missiles, although the range on paper is not the only important performance, being able to fire first before the enemy is definitely a huge advantage in air combat or air-ground confrontation.

Even the criticized semi-active ammunition can have huge tactical value as long as the range is far enough.

"Well...it is basically the Soviet R33. We have improved the new missile wings, warhead and seeker. According to the national military standard range, the air-to-air range is about 200 kilometers, and the air-to-ground range...may be a little closer. "

This model, which is currently tentatively named Thunderbolt 13, was able to be approved because of Chang Haonan's contribution.

Not only that, he also developed the passive search algorithm of the seeker.

And related technologies have also become the key to reversing the situation in the Balkans in the first half of the year. It can also be regarded as indirectly preserving the air-to-air missile research and development department of the Aerospace Technology Research Institute.

 So Chang Haonan is naturally very familiar with performance indicators.

 “Take less?”

Zheng Liangqun almost dropped the telescope to the ground.

 He ​​originally thought that it would be quite good to double the range based on the Thunderbolt 11.

 The result was unexpected, it was almost an order of magnitude greater.

Although Zheng Liangqun has also heard that the AIM54 equipped by the Americans has a range of nearly 200 kilometers.

 But what you hear is what you hear, and it belongs to someone else.

In fact, the theoretical limit range of the later models of the R33 when using the MiG-31 as the carrier aircraft can be further, but that data is too false. If it is replaced by the normal standard (10,000 meters, the carrier aircraft and target are 1.2 times or 1.4 Double the speed of sound), there will be a huge discount.

 After improving the elastic wing and optimizing the path algorithm, this number was stabilized at around 200 kilometers.

 In actual combat, considering that the target cannot fly against you all the time, the effective range should be shorter.

 But no matter what, for the Chinese Air Force, which has just adapted to the diplomatic combat distance of 30-40 kilometers, the difference between 200 kilometers and 300 kilometers is actually very small.

 Because it is a number with no concept at all.

  The Chinese Air Force currently does not even have any radar that can detect a target the size of a fighter jet 200 kilometers away...

  “200 kilometers.”

Chang Haonan smiled and replied:

“The test should not be far away, but unfortunately it is difficult to measure the maximum range effect with the existing models.”

Zheng Liangqun did not answer this time, but opened his mouth slightly, as if he was imagining what it would be like to have an air-to-air missile exchange between ourselves and the enemy 150 kilometers or more apart.

After thinking for a long time, he felt that it was difficult for fighter jets alone to cope with such a level of air combat.

 Only the early warning aircraft…

Thinking of this, Zheng Liangqun glanced back and forth between Ding Gaoheng and Chang Haonan again.

　　Obviously I want to ask.

 But I feel like I'm a little out of character.

  After all, the domestically produced fighter jets are just now on the right track, so we are beginning to consider the domestically produced early warning aircraft...

 In any case, he did not speak in the end.

As a result, the atmosphere between the three of them fell into a slightly strange silence.

 Until the roar of engines from another group of planes broke the silence.

This time, without even using a telescope, Chang Haonan could identify the six J-9s from the iconic pointed nose and double delta wings.

 The normal gray paint indicates that it is not an aircraft of the Bayi Aerobatic Team.

That is the training aircraft echelon at the flight academy.

Chang Jiayao should be on the last or penultimate plane among them.

 “Mr. Chang.”

Zheng Liangqun came over and said:

“According to our training schedule, the morning is flight training, and the afternoon is commentary and training review. In addition to lunch, there will be about two hours of free time. Of course, you cannot leave the camp. You see..."

 The meaning of this statement is very clear—

Chang Jiayao's flight training is over, and Chang Haonan will definitely not be able to go directly to the tarmac to find her.

 The impact is not good.

It will also bring a lot of unnecessary pressure to Chang Jiayao.

 So you should go to the living area and wait for the rabbit.

“Commander Zheng, how about you take us two to the living area?”

Ding Gaoheng next to him also created opportunities for Chang Haonan:

“I've heard that the standard of the air crew that you are responsible for during the military parade is even higher than the standard of the usual air crew. It just so happens that we can catch up today, how about we both lend a hand?”
