Rebirth of Military Workers

"Yes, our brigade needs to conduct exercises to find our shortcomings." Tang Xin nodded and said, "The special operations brigade is divided into two parts, one imitates the Soviet army, and the other imitates the US military operations..."

Tang Xin introduced the situation.

In the current world, the most powerful are the Soviet Union and the United States.

The Soviet Union's steel torrent, large-depth armored combined assault and other combat styles made the whole world tremble.

The U.S. military, although not as scary as the Soviets that conducted the "West-81" military exercises in the international arena, the U.S. military’s equipment is highly informatized, especially beyond visual range strikes, which gives the military some vision. The leadership of the United States felt that under the same scale, the combat effectiveness of the US military was stronger than that of the Soviet military.

Therefore, the emergence of special brigades.

This is a unit that is generally trained in the Soviet mode and generally trained in the US military mode.

Xie Kai didn't expect it to develop to the present level.

"The Special Operations Brigade has advanced tanks?" Xie Kai asked.

"359 tanks and 363 armored vehicles, as well as long-range artillery support; the individual soldiers are equipped with avant-garde air defense missiles and Tianjian anti-tank missiles..." He Chao said triumphantly, "this is a force imitating the Soviet army..."

"The Black Hawk helicopter was introduced by the United States. If you add the F-14 to it, you can have an exercise..."

"Air Force vs. Army?" Xie Kai didn't understand their thoughts. "The Soviet airpower is not to be underestimated, and the equipped Su-27 fighters are not inferior to the U.S. military."

"It's too big, we can't afford it." Yang Bin shook his head and said, "Check step by step. Don't your F-14 fighters have Persian pilots? They are trained by the US military."

"Cough! Cough!" Zheng Yucheng saw Xie Kai chatting with each other speculatively, coughing hurriedly to remind Xie Kai.

Calling Xie Kai, it’s not easy for them to refuse. Xie Kai is young, and refuses if he refuses. It won’t make life difficult, right?

Young people should be forgiven.

Xie Kai didn't know the fate, but Zheng Yucheng and others asked Tang Xin to wait first, and they discussed it.

In particular, three F-14s can't do much.

Obviously it is an excuse.

"Do you know that they used the latest artillery shells we researched in this live ammunition exercise?" Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai.

Xie Kai shook his head, saying that he didn't know. "This is a good thing. The more they consume, the more we can sell."

"A good fart, all have a cost price! We even have to subsidize them. We have to lose hundreds of dollars for every round of shells." Zheng Yucheng complained.

Xie Kai really didn't know this happened.

No one explained it to him. Obviously, Xie Kai didn't bother to inquire about the trade between these old guys and their superiors.

"Actually, I think it doesn't cost much. This unit is very good for our continuous improvement. Although Iraq has a lot of actual combat data feedback, it is not all. They can provide comprehensive feedback on their weapons and equipment. Their level of use of advanced weapons is too low." When it comes to the Iran-Iraq War, Xie Kai has to vomit.

Both countries were equipped with the most advanced equipment in the world, and then fought a low-level war.

"It's easy to say. At least tens of millions are gone for an exercise." Yang Qian complained, and then complained to Zheng Yucheng and the others. "It's not to blame you. At first, you had to agree, which made them engage in live ammunition exercises every three and five. ..."

"..." Xie Kai was speechless.

They won't explain it to themselves.

He was sure that Zheng Yucheng and others had negotiated terms with their superiors and felt that they had taken advantage, but now they realized that they were at a disadvantage.

The special warfare brigade is the top of the whole domestic army, and it is composed of outstanding basic-level backbone soldiers and officers.

Otherwise, how could the superiors be willing to give bullets and cannonballs to train them?

"For those F-14s, you also have to train pilots. They all fly. Promise them. There should be no problem, right?" Xie Kai wondered why these old guys disagreed.

Anyway, you have to consume funds.

Now the Navy has no money, and all the funds have to be borne by 404, all of which are included in the funds for the aircraft carrier project.

"I'm afraid they do exercises every day! You have to know that Qilian Mountain is very big! Their exercises are not near the base, they can run hundreds of kilometers at every turn." Zheng Yucheng was crying.

"You can do exercises every day, and you can't just ask for fighters?" Xie Kai didn't believe that even if the superiors paid attention to them, they couldn't let them conduct live ammunition exercises every day.

Otherwise, the brigade's ammunition consumption in a year will exceed one group army, and the military must be destroyed.

"They said that the U.S. army and infantry squad can call for battalion-level artillery support, and they are also learning to do it. Since two months ago, the special operations brigade was completed and several exercises were conducted. In that exercise, all troops participated. If it were not for our disagreement, the ground red flag missiles would have them fire several rounds..." Wang Guilin’s words are absolutely credible.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Xie Kai was dumbfounded.

This is a special operations brigade?

It's totally a local tyrant, what do the superiors think!

When military expenditures are in short supply and military equipment is in urgent need of upgrading, the consumption of such a troop is very terrifying.

"Actually, they can't be blamed. Foreign countries have always been like this in wars. Back then, the American imperial fire was not blown by North Korea..." Zheng Yucheng sighed.

He has been on the Korean battlefield and equipped with the powerful firepower of the advanced US military, so that all those who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea are still fresh in the memory.

"The chief of the troop hopes that the stronger their offensive firepower, the better. After all, this is the largest blue army unit in the country." Wang Guilin also shook his head to express helplessness. "And Tang Xin, once again drank foreign ink in the United States."

Xie Kai has never been to the special operations brigade headquarters except for the first time.

He didn't understand the specific situation of the special forces brigade.

Regarding the military affairs, he is not so mindful. It is their defense science and technology workers to develop advanced weapons and equipment.

"These are not important, we should support them. No matter how advanced foreign equipment is, what do we get? It is the most suitable to develop weapons and equipment that suits our army's combat mode and use habits." Xie Kai said, "F- The combat performance of 14 is not necessarily suitable for our troops and national conditions. It must be modified..."

No matter how advanced it is, it is useless if it is not suitable for national defense needs.

Just like the Soviet Union has a lot of black technology, any one of them will be amazing, but many things are ultimately stuck in the drawing stage.

Similarly, the Soviet weapon design has two modes, one is the ultra-high performance of the top configuration, and the other is a simplified version that is inexpensive and retains only conventional functions.

There is no other reason, just for the outbreak of war again, which can equip a huge number of troops.

The People's Liberation Army cannot do this.

The size of the force is too large, so since 1985, the country has been implementing the strategy of one million disarmament, and the size of the force has been reduced from the original 4 million to 3 million.

The purpose is to use the saved military expenses to improve the weapons and equipment of the troops.

By 1985, the PLA's military expenditure was 19.1 billion, about 6.7 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for only 2% of the U.S. military expenditure and only a fraction of the Soviet military expenditure. In terms of number, it is twice that of the U.S. Army, which is about the same as the number of Soviet troops...

The 404 can be considered cheap, and the 359 tank has outstanding performance. If there is no military expenditure saved by disarmament, there is no possibility that it will be exported to domestic sales.

The 359 tank is too expensive. A 359 tank can be equipped with at least 4 Type 79 main battle tanks if it is sold at an export price.

"So, the F-14 can be used in exercises. This can also provide us with new combat experiments in our country, which is of great benefit to our improvement of the Super Seven project. The F-14 is a multi-purpose heavy fighter, which can not only be airborne. , It can be grounded, and even anti-ship missiles can be mounted..." Xie Kai felt that it was impossible to prevent the F-14 from participating in the exercise in order to save that little money.

"The cost of this thing is too high, we have to use it for research..."

"They are not every day. Air-ground integrated combat is also exploration. Relative to the development of a weapon and equipment, this cost is affordable. After all, we don't have heavy fighters in China." Xie Kai said. "For example, during combat, what kind of performance can the F-14's wing be fixed at what angle... If we do not test it out, we have to imitate it, can it solve the inorganic differential of variable swept wing? The Soviet Union is in this regard. Because of the poorer technology, the variable-swept wing appears blunt when changing angles. This is why the Soviet Union abandoned the design of the rear-swept wing in the design of the new generation of fighter jets."

After three generations of fighters, there are only F-14s and no other models of swept-wing fighters.

The Soviet Union has a large number of variable-swept wing aircraft. The three major design bureaus of Mikoyan, Sukhoi, and Tupolev have all designed variable-swept wing aircraft.

Especially the Tu-22M medium-range strategic bomber and Tu-160 strategic bomber designed by Tupolev.

A bomber is different from a fighter jet. What it needs is a range and ammunition load. The mobility performance is not affected at all.

Fighters need flexible maneuverability and so on.

"In comparison, do we cost more to develop inorganic differential technology, or is it more costly for us to use combat experiments to determine data modification design?" Xie Kai asked everyone. "Furthermore, variable swept wing has been proven, not very suitable for the future development of aircraft, even if the advantages are very obvious."

In terms of cost, the answer is obvious.

As for whether the variable wing swept is in line with future development, the people at the base are not clear.

But the technology is complex and difficult to get it done, they all know it.

"You don't want to change the wings?" Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai, frowning and asked, "This technology has never been conquered in China. Now that we have a reference, it is much easier to develop it."

"Yes, if you thoroughly understand this technology, and then apply this technology to bombers such as H-6, you can increase the range a lot..." Xie Jianguo also began to speak.

Usually he doesn't have much time to talk. After all, he is Xie Kai's old man, isn't he?

"Is it because we don't have such a technology, regardless of whether the technology is in line with future development, we have to spend a lot of money to research it?" Xie Kai was a little angry.

In the case of money, it is beneficial to study these technologies.

For example, the particularity of the swept-back wing requires higher technical requirements if you want the fighter to take into account high ground and air performance and conform to the aerodynamic characteristics.

But in any case, this technology is already outdated.

"You guys, we are not experts in this area. Why don't we ask the experts for their opinions?" Wang Guilin saw that Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng had a tendency to quarrel, and said hurriedly.

The base does have an idea to overcome the variable wing-sweeping technology.

"Before there was no domestic project, the strong -6 attack aircraft was the domestically-made variable-swept wing fighter project. In the end, it had to be dismounted because the variable-swept wing could not be solved." Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng and had to let them dispel the impracticality. The meaning of his own existence is to make the research direction of the base project move in the right direction, and the crooked science and technology tree must be stifled in a state that has not yet sprouted. "Does everyone know why the strong-6 dismounted?"

"Because the strong -6 is dismounted, we need to conquer this technique." Zheng Yucheng said dissatisfied. "The design performance index of Qiang-6 is much higher than that of various domestic models."

"A lot higher? But how difficult is the technology?" Xie Kai looked contemptuously, "Because I can't get the wing-sweeping technique, I have to dismount!"

It can be said that the dismounting of the strong -6 attack plane is inevitable.

Although the design performance index is very high, the bomb load can reach 4,500 kilograms, and the combat is more than 900 kilometers. However, it is impossible to solve the problem because of the backward swept wing technology, which eventually led to the dismounting.

Qiang-6 is a reverse engineering of the Soviet MiG-23, and its design performance is better than that of the MiG-23.

However, in reverse engineering, the domestic technology is not good enough. Compared with the MiG-23, the variable-sweeping mechanism is 12% overweight, which seriously affects the fuel load and bomb load, thus affecting the combat radius.

Not only this is the reason, the variable swept wing control system has not been resolved in China.

As long as 404 wants to do this, these two aspects must be resolved.

"We can't see the benefits of variable swept wings because of technical difficulty and high funding requirements?" Qi Zhiyuan looked at Xie Kai. He was worried that Xie Kai would use this as an excuse to oppose the entire F-14 reverse. engineering.

Without the F-14, what other domestic aircraft models can be used on future aircraft carriers?

Qi Zhiyuan originally didn't want to talk. From the beginning of the aircraft carrier project, Xie Kai opposed it. Even if it was just a pre-research and preparation for supporting equipment, Xie Kai opposed it.

If the F-14 fighter is successful, it can be used not only by the navy, but also by the air force.

Xie Kai is going to really oppose it, and it will really be seriously affected by then.

"There are indeed advantages, but there are also many disadvantages. Uncle Qi, if the variable swept wing really has a future, do you think that the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world will abandon this design? Not to mention, even the Americans. , They have also begun to use FA-18s to replace F-14s. Starting in 1983, in addition to upgrading the existing F-14s, the U.S. Navy received FA-18s..." Xie Kai opposed the change The use of swept wings is also a fight.

F-14 imitation can be done, but the variable swept wing technology must not be too complicated to slow down the progress.
