Balotov, who has always been unprepared to change, has been very restrained, but it is still difficult to control his expression when he sees the four armed helicopters that are like flying insects passing through the command post at low altitude.
There's no way. It's really this scene. Leaders can't be shocked.
China has its own special armed helicopter? When did it happen? Why didn't he get any news?
You know, it's a special armed helicopter. There are extremely strict requirements for various technical and tactical indicators, and no one can produce it if they want to.
What's more, even if we take 10000 steps back, China has the production capacity of special armed helicopters, but we have to make some advance preparations to develop such an armed helicopter?
Can't even a star and a half a bit of clues are not so out of thin air?
What happened? Four special armed helicopters flying in the sky pass by, leaving behind a mysterious origin.
Balotov is also a guest of honor and spokesman of Russian arms manufacturers. He has never seen a pig crow, and naturally has seen a pig run. He does not believe that China's special armed helicopter can jump out of the stone like monkey sun.
However, his brain pondered for a long time, and did not find any trace of China's development of special armed helicopter in his memory.
Don't the Chinese use high-performance turbo shaft engines? Why not use new materials that are light and strong? Instead of a comprehensive targeting attack system
A series of questions tumbled in balotov's mind. Thanks to the fact that the Russian colonel was an organism, if it were in other forms, so many unanswered questions would have gone down and exploded.
"This is our newly finalized wz-12nb armed helicopter!"
Ignoring the glare of the northwest sun, barotov was staring at the four far away wz-12nb armed helicopters, and countless question marks were in his mind. Zheng Quanli, who walked out of the command post leisurely, suddenly said, "he is a special type of military equipment developed on the basis of zhi-12."
With that, Zheng Quanli, as if by magic, produced a scaled model of the wz-12nb armed helicopter in his hand. Holding it in his hand, he calmly continued to introduce it to a group of foreign military observers: "our wz-12nb armed helicopter has a total length of 16 meters, a total height of 4.35 meters, a rotor diameter of 13.2 meters, a tail rotor diameter of 2.8 meters, and an empty weight of 4500 kg, The maximum takeoff weight is 7000 kg, the maximum internal fuel load is 1080 kg, and the maximum weapon load is 1200 kg.
The wd-43z turboshaft engine is used in the engine, with a maximum power of 1280 kW, equivalent to 1740 shaft horsepower. Due to the excellent energy-saving and emission reduction technology, the wd-43z turboshaft engine not only has high power, but also has extremely low fuel consumption. Because of this, the practical lift limit of wz-12nb military helicopter under full load can reach 7200 meters, The maximum range is 850 km and the combat duration is 3 hours.... "
Listening to Zheng Quanli, the military observers of Cuba, North Korea, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Iran and other countries didn't feel much at first. After all, the investment of this new equipment is routinely introduced to the foreign military observers.
But listen, the expressions of these foreign military observers are somewhat different. Even the military observers of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and other countries are surprised and shocked. The reason for this is very simple. The performance of wz-12nb armed helicopter is too excellent.
Others don't know how far it is. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus, which have been brainwashed by the special armed helicopters of Russian arms manufacturers for many years, know best, In a sense, China's wz-12nb armed helicopter is no less than the main force of Russia's next generation of armed helicopter, mi-28n "havoc" armed helicopter.
Even in some indicators, it has exceeded many.
Nothing else, but as far as the range and endurance are concerned, the wz-12nb armed helicopter is in all kinds of friction on the ground according to the mi-28n "havoc" armed helicopter.
Because the maximum range of the mi-28n "havoc" armed helicopter is only 470 km, only half of that of the wz-12nb armed helicopter. As for the endurance, even if it is equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank, it is only two hours, and the combat cruise is less than one hour.
The wz-12nb armed helicopter has a range of 850 km with internal fuel alone, and the duration of combat cruise is up to 3 hours.
We should know that long range and long endurance have a crucial impact on the combat effectiveness and viability of armed helicopters. Long range can at least set the airport in a further depth, so as to avoid local harassment and attacks; Long endurance, let alone the ability to hover in the air for a long time and support the ground forces at any time.In these two aspects, the wz-12nb armed helicopter is so excellent that the resulting missile carrying capacity is only 1200 kg, far less than the 2800 kg of the mi-28n "havoc" armed helicopter, which is not so important.
After all, the main attack targets of armed helicopters are local tanks, armored vehicles, fortifications, communication centers, command centers, logistics nodes and other high-value targets.
Most of the weapons used are precision guided weapons such as anti tank missiles.
Because of this, it is not a problem for the armed helicopter to carry less ammunition. As long as it is well equipped and has high attack efficiency, it is not a problem. In this regard, wz-12nb armed helicopter has a complete integrated attack avionics system.
In addition to an integrated photoelectric detection system which can rotate 270 degrees freely under the nose, a small millimeter wave detection radar is also installed above the propeller hub.
With the "sniper" V flight control system on the pilot's head, wz-12nb armed helicopter becomes a flexible, stable and efficient low altitude killer.
In contrast, today's mi-28n "havoc" armed helicopter is poor in integrated avionics system. Apart from a set of photoelectric probes from France, the pilot's helmet is still an old object from the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Although it can achieve the so-called "hit where" effect, the overall weight is particularly large, Operation is also very complex, even after professional training can not help but be in a hurry.
Of course, it's said that Kamov Design Bureau has improved the integrated avionics system on the latest Ka-50 armed helicopter, but the problem is that the whole Ka-50 helicopter is too complex and the maintenance cost is high. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, it may not be as high as the mi-28n "havoc" armed helicopter, Otherwise, the Soviet era would not have positioned the mi-28n "havoc" armed helicopter as the main model of the next generation of armed helicopters, and let the Ka-50 stand aside.
Because of this, without waiting for Zheng Quanli to finish his speech, military observers from many countries had a strong interest in the newly emerged wz-12nb armed helicopter.
Balotov is not a fool. At this moment, he can't see what fire drill Zheng Quanli is doing. It's clear that Zheng Quanli is making a gimmick to create a large exhibition of weapons and equipment. What's more depressing is that China was worried about how to attract people to visit. As a result, he solved the most critical problem, All of a sudden, more than 20 military observers from more than 20 countries came to China
