Chapter 1124

Yes, in Li Ruihong's eyes, the sky is not an airplane, but a dolphin flying in the sky. On the slender nose is a black cockpit porthole, and up there is a big, round forehead, which rises slightly forward, then smoothly backward, and runs through the whole fuselage in a streamlined manner until the tail of the fuselage shrinks gently, and finally integrates perfectly with the vertical tail.

That's all. The key is that the painting of the aircraft is also very playful. Under its huge forehead, it is sprayed with a pair of nimble eyes. Combined with the dolphin fins on the fuselage and the dolphin tails cocked up on both sides of the parallel horizontal tail wings, and with the cockpit porthole like sunglasses, a vivid dolphin swimming in the sky with a smile will appear In front of people's eyes.

"This This This... "

Li Ruihong looked at the plane slowly descending, and wanted to say what kind of plane it was. He had never seen it before, but he was stunned for most of the day.

Can only look at the aircraft getting closer and closer, a face of loss and shock.

……

A similar expression does not only appear in Li Ruihong, who is not far away from the airstrip. At the moment, the leaders and cadres of various troops in the airstrip are also dull.

There's no way. Many army leaders and cadres are well-informed. They have never seen such a plane with endless strangeness in it. For a moment, they were amazed and talked about it.

"If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed that such heavy bulldozers, excavators and pile drivers could be transported to this abandoned airstrip for many years." I don't know how long later, a military leader who was ordered to help load and unload materials couldn't help feeling.

As soon as the words came out, another leader of the local garrison also nodded: "who said no? This simple airport built in the 1960s has been abandoned for many years. The runway is only 3000 meters long and lacks ground support facilities. It is very difficult for ordinary large aircraft to take off and land here. Can this strange aircraft do it? "

"Second, the key is that this kind of aircraft has been used by relevant departments for a long time. I don't know if you have found it. In the previous flight, the things of the ground personnel on the scene are very skillful. We are all soldiers. Is it the same thing for recruits and veterans?

So, there may be a lot of inside information here that we don't know. If it wasn't for the flood crisis, it would only surprise the hostile forces during the military struggle along the southeast coast. " A thin faced senior cadre of the security forces suddenly interjected, saying it was mysterious.

After listening to this, all the people around nodded their heads and felt that the senior cadres of the security forces were very reasonable. One of the cadres of the heavy armed forces agreed: "indeed, if the carrying capacity of this kind of aircraft is 33 tons, it can not only carry a 63 amphibious tank and a 63 armored vehicle, but also two 90 wheeled vehicles Even the type 59 tank, the type 86 infantry fighting vehicle and the type 83 152mm self-propelled howitzer are no exception. It can be said that over 90% of our army's equipment can be loaded by this aircraft. "

With these words, the cadres of the heavy armed forces became more and more excited, and even their voice trembled: "it's too important for us to deal with the front-line forces in the military struggle along the southeast coast. We should know that landing is hard work, which will inevitably lead to huge casualties. If we can fall from the sky and use the occupied airport to split the heavy mechanized forces The solid beachhead defense line along the coast, straight into the heart of the heart, its role is no less than that of the German forces bypassing the French Maginot defense line during World War II. "

Before the words were heard, the cadre of the heavy armed forces looked at the officer in the air force camouflage suit, wearing sunglasses and holding the air to ground communication device. He hesitated for a moment. Finally, he could not help asking: "Captain Xue, I wonder if your troops have tried this kind of general assembly delivery after installing this kind of aircraft? If not, our troops are willing to cooperate and come on call. "

Xue Weidong, commander of the "golden helmet" army, who was urgently transferred by the head of the headquarters to take charge of the command and dispatching work of the front-line airports in the disaster area, could not help but smile when he heard what the army comrades said: "I want to strengthen our army with the yun-18, special air vehicle II, also known as" big dolphin ". Unfortunately, I dare not even touch it in ordinary times."

"Your" golden helmet "army is the ace of the air force. It's the best in the army. Even you dare not touch it?" The cadres of the heavy armed forces were a little puzzled, not only for him, but also for other army cadres.

What about Xue Weidong's "golden helmet"? Isn't it a plane with wings?

Xue Weidong shook his head, also quite helpless: "who let this aircraft belong to the second artillery, who dares to touch things in that place?"

As soon as these words came out, one of them on the scene was a fool.

No one thought that the origin of yun-18 "big dolphin" was so big, and it was the special equipment of that army. No wonder these cadres who have worked in the army for more than ten or twenty years have never seen it. If it's something of that army, it's not surprising that they even have the name of the army with the confusion of not being humane, let alone their own clothes It's ready.In fact, it is.

According to reason, the Second Artillery Force should be more interested in aerospace products. It can not be said that they have no interest in aviation products, but they will never be very strong. At least they will not customize any special aircraft.

The problem is that a few years ago, in order to solve the transportation problem of large missile bodies and fuel storage tanks, Tengfei group replaced the retired Air Force IL-18 with more powerful turboprop engines and a large number of advanced composite materials, and built four yun-16 special transport aircraft.

Since then, all the long-range missile components produced by the aerospace manufacturing plant of Tengfei group, located at the southern foot of Qinling Mountains, have been transported by yun-16, which is not only more efficient but also more stable.

The increase of product production efficiency also accelerated the speed of equipment renewal of the Second Artillery Force.

At ordinary times, this kind of promotion didn't feel much. After all, the military funds at that time were limited, and the funds for equipment renewal were not right. It was OK to maintain a reasonable space.

However, a major incident has completely broken this passable mentality. As the most deterrent service in the military struggle along the southeast coast, the task of the second artillery is not only to wash the land, but also to implement strategic deterrence against foreign hostile forces.

However, with the level of equipment at the time of major events, it is difficult for the second artillery to accomplish these two rather arduous tasks at the same time.

Therefore, updating the equipment and comprehensively improving the combat effectiveness has become an extremely urgent practical demand of the second artillery.

If you want to upgrade the equipment, you have to improve the production capacity. If you want to improve the production capacity, you have to give full play to the efficiency. So the leaders of the Second Artillery Force suddenly found that the yun-16 special transport aircraft is really delicious. It's a pity that there are only four of them, which obviously can't meet the actual demand. It must be increased!

So, together with the headquarters, Tengfei group, the manufacturer of yun-16, issued a purchase order for six yun-16.

Tengfei group, which has received the order, is not happy, but has made difficulties. It has no way. The basic model of yun-16 and the IL-18 have been eliminated by the air force, so it can't find the original model suitable for modification. What should we do?

There is really no way out. Tengfei group simply takes yun-17 out, and on this basis, makes a brand new plan, namely the so-called special air vehicle II, yun-18, "big dolphin"!
