However, it's one thing to make sure that it can be used or not.
Although the paper index of donier-228 small transport aircraft is excellent, it has a payload of about two tons, or a passenger capacity of 19 people. The take-off distance is 792 meters, and the landing distance is 451 meters. It is a typical short takeoff and landing aircraft.
It can be said to crush all small transport planes of the same level.
But the problem is that the paper data is beautiful, which does not mean that the actual application is so excellent. Donier-228 has a good load, but its flying distance is only 1100 km, while donier-228 in Bangalore is 1800 km away from Luger town on the northern border.
That is to say, donier-228 takes off from the air force base in Bangalore. It has to go through at least two landing refueling supplies in the middle of the flight before it can fly to Luger town to pick up Marcelo and others.
Why twice? It's very simple. As the hardest hit town of Luger, the victims don't even have enough food to eat. They still expect them to have extra aviation fuel and complete ground maintenance?
Therefore, before entering Luger Town, we must adjust the plane's state to the best, so that donier-228 can take off and return without supply after entering Luger town.
On this line, the military does have several airports to use.
As a result, New Delhi sent donier-228 to the town of Lugar to evacuate the three Western journalists. As a result, it was not easy to make a good plan. The plane smoothly passed through the supply and maintenance of the two alternate airports and finally reached the sky of Lugar.
The pilot flew donier-228 around the town of Luger for several times, and finally swayed his wings and swaggered back.
This made Marcelo and mercklein, who were both abused by the local garrison and the victims in Luger Town, and were looking forward to the moon and looking forward to going home, almost didn't cry, and they didn't care about their identity as a big V in the West. They pointed out what the flying donier-228 was.
It's just that the pilot of the plane can't hear it at all, and it's doomed that the two people's scolding is in vain, but even if they hear it, the pilot won't land.
The reason is very simple. Although donier-228 has the ability to take off and land in short distance, because the landing gear is too short from the ground, and the retractable landing gear is not strengthened deliberately, donier-228 does not have the ability to take off and land on complex ground.
In other words, in addition to the regular airport, donier-228 can take off and land on flat roads at most.
This is not a problem in Europe. After all, Europe has not only many airports, but also a well-developed road network. Donier-228 can do whatever it takes.
But in the South Asian subcontinent irrigated by the Henghe River, donier-228 can't play any more. It's an excellent road if you can walk on the muddy ground.
This is like a noble lady with a good family who wants to live a delicate life after marrying a rough man with nothing? It's very beautiful. I'll let you have fun several times first.
This is what happened to donier-228. It's not that he doesn't want to sleep with a rough man. The problem is that once the stinky grid is pressed down, his delicate little body will die.
As a result, the ambitious plan came to an end as soon as it started, because New Delhi can't expect to build a 1000 meter long asphalt road for the victims of Lugar town who can't even feed themselves?
Even if the victims are willing to repair, what about construction machinery? What about engineering materials? We should know that the road leading to the disaster area has not been opened yet. If we can transport these construction equipment and materials, what else can we do with airplanes? Several reporters came back down the road.
There is no way. New Delhi officials can only use helicopters to complete this task. No matter what, the flexibility of helicopters in taking off and landing is higher than that of fixed aircraft. What's more, New Delhi still has enough confidence in this aspect.
If they had not wanted to compete with a big eastern country in the small fixed wing transport aircraft, New Delhi would have sent helicopters there long ago.
Yes, New Delhi is once again full of confidence in helicopters. Even if a legal Skylark III helicopter that undertook the disaster relief mission crashed not long ago, New Delhi still feels full of confidence, because in addition to Skylark III helicopter, they also have a sa-3158 "American ostrich" helicopter.
You know, this one is purely made in China, so New Delhi thinks that compared with the French Skylark III, it is not only cheaper but also more reliable.
After the new plan was determined, New Delhi immediately launched the operation. After three transitions, two "American ostrich" helicopters finally arrived at Luger town.
As a result, maselo and merklein, who were waiting for a long time, were crying. Only one of the two helicopters came, but even the one that arrived could not take them back.
Because this "American ostrich" helicopter landing again, the engine suddenly shut down, and then in the two incredible eyes shot to the ground.
That's all. What made them even more confused was that the pilot who escaped the disaster reported by radio that he had successfully arrived in the disaster area. It was just a small mistake and turned into a hard landing. He needed rear support and some spare parts to evacuate Huihe foreign reporters.Marcello and merklein are crazy when they hear this. Is this nm called success? Hard landing? Is it OK if the helicopter is scrapped and has the face to say that it can fly back after repair?
By the way, what about the other one?
Marcello and Merck Ryan were trapped in the disaster area, even if they could not find them, but the authorities in New Delhi were awesome. In less than a day, another "American ostrich" helicopter had crashed. The official reason for New Delhi was the pilot's fault.
In other words, New Delhi does not admit that there are any problems with its own helicopters. There are only bad pilots, but no bad domestic aircraft.
As a result, when New Delhi officials talked about the achievements of its aviation industry, the donier-228, which was in charge of rescue a few days ago, suddenly crashed on the way to Luger town after being refitted. All eight people, including a German engineer, were killed.
One day later, another modified donier-228 suddenly lost control and skidded off the runway during take-off. Two crew members died and four were injured.
In addition, three days ago, a MiG-23 crashed. In just four days, five planes were lost.
Almost more than one plane falls every day, which is more likely than the typhoons blowing up in the Indian Ocean. No matter how typhoons come, they won't come one day.
Now, New Delhi officials can't say that there is nothing wrong with their own airplanes. Instead, they turn around and attack that there is something wrong with the original design of these airplanes, which has nothing to do with domestic production.
As a result, this is like a map gun. The original design of the "American ostrich" helicopter was given by France. The donier-228 helicopter is from Germany, and the MiG-23 helicopter is from the Soviet Union?
As a result, the media of the three countries and the media of New Delhi focused on the incident of the plane crash with all kinds of pen fights and mutual sprays. As a result, New Delhi was sprayed black and white.
In addition, the three countries are not much better, and the reputation of the three models has plummeted.
