Chapter 485 Unmanned version of Su-30 without pilot

After blushing, Yemelyanov continued to argue: "No, no, what I said is true. The aircraft we produced in the domestic factory is being equipped with the avionics equipment I mentioned."

"Well, of course we believe it, but if you want to impress our domestic customers, you have to show your true skills!" Qin Tao said: "For example, let's launch a live ammunition or something, let's take our navy as an example. , if it could be allowed to carry KH-31 anti-ship missiles, then the Navy might place an order on the spot, and they would have to buy it at all costs, but now this aircraft probably can’t launch anything, right?"

Wu Shengli still stood there with dissatisfaction on his face: "That's right!"

The modern class has been bought back. This kind of warship uses P-270, which is the 3M80 anti-ship missile. The appearance of this missile is very similar to the KH-31 air-launched missile introduced by Yemelyanov, but its size is There is a big difference.

Emelyanov frowned.

What Qin Tao said is that the Eastern Navy and Air Force have no money, so it is estimated that they will not be able to purchase their Su-30 for the time being. However, since they have sent the aircraft all the way here, they always want to promote it. What if they can succeed?

Easterners may say they don’t want it on the surface, but what if they feel it really smells good in their hearts?

However, the Orientals are not as easy to fool as Asan, and they will not be bribed with money. What the Orientals want is real weapons, and they must rely on advanced weapon performance to impress the other party!

Emelyanov's mind began to think rapidly.

Wu Shengli continued to speak there: "Currently, our navy has been equipped with the modern class, and we are very satisfied with the Sunzhi anti-ship missiles used on it. If the Sunzhi missiles can be modified and mounted on the wings of such aircraft, they can be launched. , that would be more convenient for our navy.”

Hearing Wu Shengli's words, Lin Hu shook his head: "How is that possible? It's a ship-to-ship missile. How could it be launched from an airplane? Besides, the weight of that thing is too great. The Su-30 should not be able to use it at all." There is no ability to mount it!”

"Why is it impossible? I just heard Mr. Yemelyanov explain that the KH-31 missile is very similar in appearance to our Sunburn missile!" After Wu Shengli finished speaking, he looked at Ye Melyanov expectantly. Melyanov: "Mr. Yemelyanov, is the missile you introduced an air-launched model of the Sunburn missile?"

Although the Sunburn missile is a name given by NATO, many people know it, and the domestic media also calls it that. Of course, Lao Maozi also knows it.

"No." Yemelyanov shook his head: "Our air-launched anti-ship missile is KH-31. This missile was developed by our domestic tactical missile design bureau Xingxing Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau in 1977. This missile officially entered service in 1988. Compared with the 3M80 missile, it has huge differences in size, weight, range, and power. In terms of diameter, one is 360 mm and the other is 760 mm. The length of the two Pretty much the same.”

“In other words, the performance of this KH-31 air-launched missile is very poor?” Wu Shengli asked.

"You can't say that. Our air-launched missiles are for easy portability by aircraft and only weigh a few hundred kilograms." Yemelyanov was a little incoherent.

“Oh, it’s just a useless product. It’s no different from our anti-ship missiles. The range is estimated to be only tens of kilometers. It’s meaningless. Our Feibao can mount it.”

The meaning of Wu Shengli’s words is that he is not satisfied with this kind of missile, and he is also very dissatisfied with the fact that this kind of aircraft can only carry this kind of missile.

 In modern warfare, if a plane is equipped with missiles with a range of tens of kilometers, it is obviously destined to die!

Generally speaking, anti-ship missiles used by warships or shores need to add an additional booster since they start flying from scratch to give the missile an initial speed. Even so, the range is not far.

The air-launched anti-ship missile is different. This kind of anti-ship missile is launched from an aircraft. The altitude and speed of the aircraft itself can provide an initial energy to the air-launched missile, and the range will also be greatly expanded.

"As for anti-ship missiles similar to 3M80, we also have them in China, code-named KH-41." Yemelyanov said: "This missile is an air-launched model derived from the 3M80 anti-ship missile. This The weight of this missile is 6.6 times that of the KH-31, and its range is also 3.5 times. If launched from a high altitude, the range will be 250 kilometers, which fully meets your needs."

"Two hundred and fifty kilometers? That's about the same. If introduced, it will be the air-launched anti-ship missile with the longest range in our country!" Wu Shengli was satisfied then, but he thought of something later: "But , can your Su-30 carry it?"

Looking at what the other party meant, it was already obvious that if the Su-30 could mount such a powerful weapon, they would probably purchase it!

 “Of course no problem, we have a maximum carrying capacity of eight tons.”

“The mounting capacity is no problem, but can your single rack bear such a heavy weight?” Mr. Lin asked from the side.

 Just because an aircraft says how many external weapons it can carry, doesn't it mean that it can definitely carry it? With an external storage capacity of eight tons, can it carry an eight-ton bomb?

  Of course it is impossible.

  This is the sum of the loading capacity of all the pylons outside the aircraft. Generally speaking, the closer to the central axis of the aircraft, the stronger the loading capacity.

“Of course there is no problem, the belly pylon of our fighter plane can carry this missile.” Yemelyanov said.

For Sukhoi series aircraft, the outer pylons are used to mount air-to-air missiles and the like, and the weight cannot be too large. The two pylons under the air inlet have a maximum loading capacity of two tons and can be mounted It carries KH-31 series missiles, and the pylon on the central axis of the belly has the strongest loading capacity.

Only the Sukhoi series aircraft have this capability, because it uses an engine layout in the nacelle under the belly. There is still a lot of space between the two inlets, which can be used to mount the final The missile is directly connected to the fuselage beam, and there is no need to worry about counterweight.

So far, the Su-30 has not tried to mount the KH-41. However, its brother, the Su-33, a carrier-based aircraft, has done so. After all, the mission of the carrier-based aircraft is to attack the enemy fleet. To launch an attack, of course you need to mount advanced anti-ship missiles. This large supersonic anti-ship missile is its most powerful weapon.

"Really?" Wu Shengli became excited: "Can you show it now?"

Show now?

Emelyanov frowned again, could he say no? He has to find an excuse.

“We don’t have relevant missiles either!” Yemelyanov quickly thought of a countermeasure.

"No missiles? You just said that this kind of missile is the same as the Sunburn anti-ship missile we purchased, right? We have sixteen Sunburn missiles in stock in our base here... I don't know if it can be changed, so forget it. Even if it can be changed, it will be very troublesome. It's a pity. It would be nice if it could be verified."

Hearing what Wu Shengli said, Yemelyanov immediately nodded: "If you have Sunzhi anti-ship missiles here, it shouldn't be difficult to mount them. We can just make a few changes!"

 “Isn’t this not good? What if something goes wrong?”

“There will be no danger. We are all the most experienced engineers. If we match the fire control system, it may take a while, but if we just fly around with the missile, it will not be difficult.”

It is impossible to launch. After all, the fire control system of this aircraft has not been upgraded and it does not match it at all. However, if it is just to take off and land with a missile mounted on it, it will be easy if it proves that the aircraft has this kind of mounting capability. too much.

 The navy in the East is most looking forward to acquiring this kind of attack capability!

In the navy's equipment sequence, only the H-6 can carry this kind of missile, but this kind of bomber is too outdated and has no self-defense capabilities. In modern war, flying out will almost lead to death.

　　Feibao is the most advanced tactical bomber, and it cannot hang such a heavy missile on one pylon. Feibao only carries a YJ-81 anti-ship missile.

The Navy needs long-range air-launched anti-ship capabilities!

Wu Shengli said enthusiastically: "It would be great if we could see this kind of aircraft take off with this kind of missile and come back around the sea. Our navy needs this kind of weapon combination!"

"Okay. Don't worry, we will definitely fulfill your wish. Let's study how to mount it now."

How to mount it is Lao Maozi's business, and the request is made by my own side, but it is okay for the big guys to help.

 In the following time, a group of people wandered around the plane and began to study it.

From the appearance point of view, the Su-30 is very similar to the two-seat version of the Su-27. However, its interior has been significantly updated. As a fighter-bomber, it places more emphasis on the mounting capacity and training capabilities. Machines are very different.

As for the belly pylon, a lot of people were studying it, and soon they were able to put the thick Sunburn missiles on it.

“If this kind of missile can be hung into the sky, the combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced.” Wu Shengli was very satisfied with this operation: “I just don’t know if it is safe or not!”

“Safe, of course it is safe. Not only can it fly to the sky with missiles, but it can also land with missiles on it. Our aircraft landing gear has also been strengthened.” Yemelyanov said.

“It’s already getting late today, how about we fly again tomorrow?”

“No, for us, this kind of flight is trivial,” Yemelyanov said.

“So, back seat pilot, do you want to switch to ours and let us feel it?” Qin Tao asked.

This was what he had promised at the beginning, so after Yemelyanov thought for a moment, he nodded: "Of course, please invite him over."

“How about forgetting it? I don’t know if this newly mounted missile is safe. If there is any problem, I won’t be able to tell who will be held responsible,” Qin Tao said.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yemelyanov said: "We have gone through a comprehensive inspection and confirmed that the flight is absolutely safe."

 “Well, that’s what you said.”

Delano, wearing a full flight suit and a flight helmet, walked over excitedly. When he came up to him, Yemelyanov was stunned: "Why is he a foreigner?"

“Foreigner? No, no, he is Chinese. Wu Song, come here and show him your ID.”

Wu Song?

With a smile on his face, Delano took out the ID.

According to Qin Tao's request, they all need to give themselves a Chinese name. Delano studied for a while and decided to name himself Wu Song. This name sounds domineering and is a tiger-fighting hero!

At this time, looking at Delano's ID, Yemelyanov was surprised in his heart. How could a foreigner come to the East? Especially, this person is not one of their old fools and speaks fluently. English!

"He is a formal member of our naval aviation force and has the ability to fly a variety of aircraft. He has flown on the Su-27 simulator for more than thirty hours. Now, he is just feeling it in the back cabin. If you feel If it’s not suitable, then forget it, so as not to cause any accidents and you still come to trouble our pilots.”

“Since he is your pilot, there is no problem.” Yemelyanov nodded.

So Delano got on the plane excitedly.

Since the plane flew over the airport, Delano has been watching from the nearby grass. The performance of this plane is so exciting!

However, in order to avoid exposure and arouse Lao Maozi's alert, all the foreigners in the airport stayed in the dormitory or traveled to nearby cities. Delano was the only foreigner present.

 Delano was bored and waiting for the opponent to hang up his bombs, and then finally got the chance to get on the plane and experience flying.

 For Delano, this is important.

 There are very few heavy-duty fighter jets in the world. The Su-27 series fighter jets are one of the few heavy-duty fighter jets, and he has long been yearning for them.

In the previous era, he had flown a Tomcat fighter jet and had a duel with the Red Empire's Su-27. He also heard about the beauty of the aerial scalpel, but he didn't have the chance at that time. Now, he finally can!

After Delano sat on the plane, the ground staff began to help check the condition of the seat, oxygen mask and intercom, and finally, the canopy was slowly closed.

 In front of him was a sky blue dashboard. Lao Maozi’s watch shop was truly well-deserved. There was only one screen in this cabin, which looked too backward.

However, the view is quite good.

You can tell by looking at the Su-27 that its nose droops slightly, allowing the pilot to have a good field of vision. However, the two-seater Su-30 has a large height difference between the front and rear seats, and the **** position of the pilot in the back seat is , almost at the same level as the front pilot’s helmet, which gives the back-seat pilot a pretty good field of vision.

This layout is much better than the Tomcat fighter. The radar officer behind the Tomcat fighter can hardly see the scene in front.

“Wu Song, sit tight, and don’t move the red tab between your legs.” Branov, the pilot in the front seat, could speak English, so he simply communicated with Delano directly in English.

"Understood, I'm not as stupid as some people. When I was flying a Tomcat fighter jet as an air taxi, the officer behind me made a fuss and flew out. After I got off, I gave him a good beating."

"Tomcat fighter jet? It seems that you were once very majestic." Branov said: "Okay, now we are going to take off."

The two tail engines of the Su-30 sprayed out flames and took off roaring on the runway.

This scene is still very spectacular.

As a naval aviation base, Wasteland Village is of course very close to the seaside. After taking off, the plane circled the airport twice and proudly showed off the missile mounted under the belly of the plane, without causing any damage to the flight. There was too much impact, and then the plane flew to the distant sea.

"Our aircraft has excellent performance and can fly at high altitudes and penetrate defenses at low altitudes." At this time, although the aircraft was no longer visible, people at the airport were still waiting, and Yemelyanov was also there. Continue to explain the excellent performance of this aircraft to everyone.

“By the way, has that missile been tested?” Qin Tao interrupted him.

"Well, of course it has been tested. Don't worry, there is no problem. If you buy it, the aircraft on the production line will be able to easily match this missile after it comes off the production line. It will also be able to conduct target shooting tests at that time, which will definitely satisfy you. "Emelyanov continued to introduce the performance of this aircraft.

"Oh, all right."

  Golden sunlight filled the cockpit, and Delano was very excited as he looked at the undulating sea water below.

"Finally I'm flying over the sea again." Delano said with emotion: "Back then, when I flew the Tomcat, I often liked to fly close to the sea. The height from the sea was about one meter, and the engine tail nozzle blew the air behind me. The sea water can shoot up to a height of one or two meters, just like driving a speedboat."

Delano originally just sighed casually, but Branoff took it seriously.

 Hmph, what’s so great about it? Isn’t it just a flying height of one meter?

 What the Tomcat fighter jet can do, of course our Su-30 can do it too!

Branov pushed the control rod and continued to descend.

>>

Of course, generally speaking, it is very dangerous to fly to a height of ten meters. Only anti-ship missiles dare to fly at a height of one meter. However, in the movie "Top Gun", the Tomcat fighter jet has a sticker Flying over the sea, blowing the sea water behind and splashing it, it still looks very spectacular.

Of course Branoff cannot let his American colleagues look down upon him. Of course he can do what his peers can do.

Getting lower and lower, lower and lower, finally, the plane seemed to be close to the sea, and the sea rushed towards us, looking extremely spectacular.

“Wu Song, is there any splash behind you?”

 Branov began to ask questions. After all, even if the cockpit of the Su-30 fighter jet has a rearview mirror, the pilot in front cannot see the tail situation, as it is already blocked by the back.

“Let me see.” Delano said, pretending to look in the rearview mirror, and then suddenly shouted: “Be careful, there are waves ahead!”

While speaking, Delano pressed a remote control switch in his pocket.

　　Boom!

The explosion suddenly came from the belly of the aircraft and quickly passed into the cockpit through the aircraft body. When he heard the sound, Branov's expression suddenly changed. In this case, he had no time to react at all. Shouted loudly: "Quick, eject!"

Except for pilots from the East, pilots from any other country will choose to parachute immediately when facing danger instead of saving the aircraft, because the life of the pilot is far more precious than other people, and the life of the test pilot is more important. More valuable than a pilot.

What else can I say? I must have flown too low and the waves hit me and collided with the plane! As for the explosion, it must be because the anti-ship missile was mounted on the belly of the aircraft and the missile exploded!

If it had been a second later, it might have been blown away.

If his companion Maximenkov was in the back seat, then Branov might let his companion parachute first, but now, there is nothing to say, just jump!

The canopy flew out, and flames rose inside the cockpit. During the overload of the ejection, Branov's eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.

  (I don’t know what the ejection sequence is. Even if the pilot in the front cockpit pulls the ejection tab, the pilot in the back seat will eject first.)

 Delano had a smile on his face. He operated the throw button and threw the missile mounted under the belly of the aircraft into the sea.

With a bang, the anti-ship missile fell into the sea, but the plane was still flying smoothly.

"Wu Song called the base, Wu Song called the base, the pilot in the front cabin ejected, I'm still in the cockpit, what should I do, what should I do?" Delano's voice was full of panic.

“The pilot in the front cabin has already ejected? Then what are you waiting for? Eject immediately!”

"receive!"

Delano said, bringing his legs together and pulling the tab between his legs.

Under his butt, the flames rose, and Delano finally experienced the legendary and famous D-36 chair.

How many times has this been ejected? Damn it, I don’t want to experience this feeling again!

Delanor had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

The first umbrella flower appeared in the sky. Branov recovered from the overloaded black vision and looked down. Then, his face changed drastically: "Oh, damn, why didn't the plane explode?"

Just now, he thought the plane was about to explode, so he hurriedly ejected, not even caring about the life and death of the pilot in the back cabin. But now, the plane that lost its canopy and pilot is still flying in the sky. !

If the plane explodes, there is nothing wrong with him ejecting to escape. After all, the life of the test pilot is the most important. But now, he actually ejected himself while the plane was intact, without even caring about the life or death of the pilot in the back seat!

At this time, the pilot in the back seat also ejected. Seeing that guy coming out now, Branov suddenly had an ominous premonition.

 At the base of Wasteland Village, everything is in chaos.

"Damn, how could this happen?" Qin Tao's face was full of anger: "Your pilot ejected directly, leaving our pilot in the back seat helpless. If I had known better, we would have let our pilot sit in the front seat. , and can still fly the plane back!”

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Quick, contact the helicopter unit immediately to rescue the pilot. It will soon get dark. If the search and rescue fails, the two of them will be in danger!" Wu Shengli was busy dealing with the accident.
