However, compared with the kind Xiaoman, Modric looked very surprised.
He has not seen the air command post, such as early warning aircraft and special command aircraft; But it's incredible to put a battalion command post in a helicopter, and it's also a medium-sized transport helicopter.
Regardless of the enemy's air defense firepower, it is difficult for platforms such as helicopters to undertake complex combat organization operations and campaign layout.
After all, the space inside the helicopter is limited, so it is difficult to place all radio stations, communication equipment and relevant maps and sand tables of the overall situation.
In particular, for complex operations, there are more than ten or even hundreds of optical communication channels. Such a large capacity can only be accommodated by the ground command post, and a small helicopter can't do it at all.
That's all. The key is that the noise in the helicopter platform is particularly loud.
Imagine how it felt when countless radio stations reported the war in the most intense battle. At this time, the helicopter propeller clanged like a tractor?
Whether we can hear the situation on the front line clearly is the second, and the key is to affect the operational efficiency.
Because of this, except that some small units will consider setting up a command organization on the helicopter, the slightly larger units will not consider the helicopter platform.
Otherwise, aside from others, the Soviet Russian army, which has always paid attention to mobility, has long been doing it. A flexible command post is not much better than a command post that can't move and can only be beaten passively.
The problem is that the inherent defects of the helicopter can not be solved, even if the idea is good, it can not be implemented!
But now, the synthetic battalion has set up its command post in a helicopter.
If it had been put before the war, Modric would have laughed it off as a joke; However, at this moment, any action of the victorious compound camp will be taken seriously by Modric.
At this time, Colonel imolahan, Colonel klimdor and other foreign observers also came. They were as shocked as Modric when they heard that the command post of the synthetic battalion was placed on a medium-sized transport helicopter, but their reaction was very fast. Even if they asked to visit this flying command post.
Xiaoman doesn't hesitate to directly ask his officers and soldiers to turn on the surrounding lights. In an instant, a part of the grassland is lit. Then, whether Imola Khan, krimdo or Modric, they are stunned by the scene in front of them.
In the middle of the light was a brand-new helicopter different from the Soviet style and the American style.
The fuselage is full of muscle and clear lines. A full tail beam directly extends the rear tail rotor from the rear of the fuselage. Like the American "Black Hawk" helicopter, it is not only integrated, but also highly operable.
In the middle of the body is a large pull-out side door that can be pushed horizontally to the tail of the body. It is nearly 2 meters wide by visual inspection. It is more than enough for two fully armed soldiers to jump up side by side.
The five leaf large side rotating propeller is full of domineering. Combined with the photoelectric probe, communication antenna and radar system arranged on the fuselage, the whole helicopter gives people a strong feeling that strangers are not allowed to enter.
"This... This... This... Is zhi-15?"
Modric looked at the helicopter under the light. His big blue eyes opened wide and asked Xiaoman in disbelief.
In fact, not only Modric, Imola Khan and klimdo have the same questions.
No way. As important partners in military exchanges over the years, Russia and Central Asian countries often send delegations to visit China and have a certain understanding of relevant domestic equipment.
Zhi-15 although it has not been purchased on a large scale by the army, it also has a small amount of equipment for external display. If it is liked by that country, it can't earn some foreign exchange subsidies to subsidize the family.
Therefore, no matter Modric, imolahan and klimdo, they have not only seen zhi-15, but even boarded the plane in person.
Because of this, when they heard that the air transport force of the synthetic brigade was only one zhi15, they were too lazy to see it. In addition, the grassland climate of the synthetic camp was not conducive to maintenance, and the zhi15 was covered with a camouflage mask every day, these people who had seen zhi15 were even less interested.
But just like that, and there is only one, how much can it play in mystery?
As a result, after the zhi15 of today's synthetic camp finally showed its true face, people found that the zhi15 here and now is very different from the zhi15 they have seen before. It can even be said that it is completely two different helicopters.
In order to give full play to the effectiveness of general-purpose helicopter, the old zhi-15 is equipped with three hatch doors on the fuselage, i.e. left and right hatch doors and tail suspension hatch doors.
At that time, China Tengfei thought that this setting was conducive to the rapid boarding of officers and soldiers and the convenient loading of more technical weapons.
However, the cargo compartment with a width of only two meters can not load light motor vehicles, which leads to too small side door, which limits the installation of fixed machine guns or grenade launchers, and finally makes the overall use very inflexible. Needless to say, the thin and short tail beam also causes some difficulties in handling, resulting in many criticisms by pilots in the actual use of the old zhi-15.
It is precisely for various reasons that the old model zhi-15 has not been favored by the army from beginning to end. It is one of the few failed projects in China's take-off over the years.
If this is put in other units, it will fail. If the model is cut, it will be new.
But who is the person in charge of China's take-off? That's Zhuang Jianye, who is known as the man who knows the aviation industry best and lives a careful life.
It took nine years before and after zhi-15, with a total R & D cost of more than 8 billion yuan. During this period, the technologies such as composite skin, integrated truss beam forming, bearingless propeller and shaft reducer integration laid a solid foundation for China to take off to develop and produce two heavy helicopters, zhi-8plus and zhi-8plus-max.
Of course, it also creates conditions for the development of zhi-12 helicopter and special armed helicopter.
It is such a model connecting the preceding and the following. How can Zhuang Jianye, a guy who can squeeze out the residue of all potential technologies, give up.
We should know that the domestic general-purpose helicopter market is not generally large. The fundamental reason why the Russian helicopter industry company can live up to now is not that their MI-171 general-purpose transport helicopter is very popular in China
Because of this, under the personal auspices of Zhuang Jianye, the follow-up improved model of zhi-15 was launched in the late 1990s.
Of course, the development of the new generation zhi-15 does not follow the previous idea of making cars behind closed doors, but fully absorbs the experience of general helicopters in advanced countries such as the United States and Russia.
In particular, the advanced concept of the United States has a deep impact on relevant teams. It happens that a considerable number of American S-70 "Black Hawk" helicopters are equipped in China. After fully absorbing the advantages of American products, the team applies them to the new generation of zhi-15, which makes today different from the past!
