Chapter 505 J-15 and Su-27UB are here

  A lively scene in the Mingzhou Shipyard.

  In order to undertake more construction tasks, the second slipway has also been built. This slipway is a larger 300,000-ton slipway.

  In this way, they can be classified into categories, and civilian ships and military ships are built on different berths. Confidentiality will also be better.

   In the Shenzhou floating dock, the modification of the No. 138 10,000-ton destroyer is still in full swing. Qin Tao originally planned to complete it by the end of 1995, but its modification work is really too complicated.

  Even if everyone is working day and night, they can't complete according to Qin Tao's plan.

  So, when he saw Qin Tao coming here for inspection, Yang Dawei, who was directly in charge of this project, looked at Qin Tao with apologetic eyes.

   "Boss Qin, I'm sorry, we couldn't complete the task on time."

   "It's okay." Qin Tao said, "It's not the time yet."

   "Well, the situation is getting more and more tense recently." Yang Dawei said with emotion: "We are also very anxious."

Qin Tao has been talking about the time point of 1996. In fact, in 1995, the situation has already become tense. The navy has conducted several exercises. Yang Dawei seems to have guessed something, and a string has collapsed tightly. up.

  Only Qin Tao was not nervous, and some time ago he went for a stroll in South America to sell warships. It seems that he doesn't pay much attention to the exercises held by the navy in recent months, or that all those exercises are just child's play?

  Yang Dawei didn't know Qin Tao's thoughts, but Yang Dawei was really anxious. As a military worker, he had a lofty mission and a sense of awareness.

   "Recently, we plan to switch to Hongqi-16A, which caused a certain delay. We estimate that it will take another month to complete the transformation project." Yang Dawei said.

   "Yes." Qin Tao nodded: "After the transformation of this warship, it must be guaranteed that it will not be out of date for at least ten years. You have worked hard. If you are really too busy, you can first transfer the group of people who built the aircraft carrier."

"From there? That side is more nervous than us." Yang Dawei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "They are all looking forward to completing the transformation of the aircraft carrier on hand as soon as possible, so that it will come in handy at critical times, even if they only carry a A batch of helicopters can also gain strong combat effectiveness.”

  Take the helicopter over there?

Qin Tao shook his head: "We are not at that level yet..." Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Tao was suddenly excited. If Lao Wa could be allowed to go up, maybe he could really control the situation. There is an aircraft carrier on the opposite side. There are also side!

   I don’t know how the carrier-based aircraft is preparing?

   "Zhengyang, how is the situation in Huangdi Village?" Qin Tao asked Yang Dawei.

"The training has already started over there. That T-45, no, the T-45, is currently being used intensively, and it almost makes dozens of sorties and landings every day. It is estimated that it will be scrapped early." Xu Zhengyang said .

  After returning from the country of football, Delano returned to the wasteland village in the pilot of the BAJ. The next step, of course, was to give those pilots who had been talking about it on paper a chance to train. They squatted more than a dozen sorties a day, and the average was only once per person.

   Even, Draenor had to take over at a critical moment.

   "By the way, Lao Maozi's carrier-based engine has been sent to Factory 112. It is said that the T-10K-7 has been almost repaired."

What? And that plane too?

  Everything is ready, and the east wind is coming!

  A bold idea emerged in Qin Tao's heart.

  Now that all the conditions are met, what else is there to say? It's time to do it!

  96, January 3rd.

"Don't be nervous, if you can't overcome the level of psychological quality, you will never be able to become a carrier-based aircraft pilot!" Delano sat on the back seat of the trainer, and was very angry at the pilot who got off the front seat: "If you get off If this happens again, then go home and hug your wife and children! If you want to be an eagle in the sea and sky, you must have the awareness that you are not afraid of death!"

   No matter how many times you fly on the flight simulator, you will always have psychological shadows when you operate the actual aircraft.

  The former is simulated, no matter how many times you fall, you are not afraid, what about the latter? As long as it falls once, the person may be gone.

  So, when they landed just now, seeing the ground rushing towards them, the pilots in front were a little panicked and pulled up involuntarily, which destroyed the perfect landing route.

   Delano took over the go-around, and the plane landed only on the second attempt. Although it was perfect, Delano was very dissatisfied with the pilot.

   "Instructor, please don't be angry, do you want to come down for convenience?" Wang Wei stood below and shouted to Delano.

   "No, come up, Wang, show them the most perfect moves!"

Among these pilots, Wang Wei made the fastest progress. When he got on the trainer plane for the first time, Wang Wei successfully landed, but he didn't catch the arresting wire. The second time, he successfully caught the second pilot. This kind of progress makes Delano very satisfied. An excellent carrier-based aircraft pilot must have such qualities!

   Now, it was Wang Wei's turn to board the plane. He sat in the front seat, took a deep breath, and then got ready for takeoff.

  The flame deflector at the back was erected, Jiao BaJ aimed at the slope, and rushed up bravely, like a light swift, easily taking off from that slope.

Everyone was applauding. Since the aircraft carrier being refitted took off with a ski jump, they not only had to practice landing, but also practiced taking off. Taking off from the seesaw board was also skilled. .

Of course, after calculations at the 320 factory, it was considered that it would be no problem to teach the eight-J ski jump to take off. Delano was still the first to test the flight. He won the respect of everyone with his superb technology. It is an absolute authority. If anyone does not do well, they will curse on the spot.

  The only one who has never been scolded is Wang Wei.

  Wang Wei took off skillfully, then turned three times and aimed at the landing zone.

  Anyway, their training is to take off and land, and they have to go through hundreds or even thousands of times before they can become qualified pilots.

   As for other flying maneuvers? Jiaoba was originally unable to do too many difficult maneuvers. These pilots had already flown other maneuvers when they were in the aviation school. After entering the army, they even practiced their unique skills. Just practice taking off and landing!

The biggest problem now is the crosswind. After all, it is already the twelfth lunar month, and the north wind is bitter. Fortunately, the runway is designed to face north and south. They take off and land towards the north, and they can get some extra "deck wind". , but the wind direction will change at any time, so the pilot's skill has to be tested.

   Another perfect landing, Delano sat in the back, and said with emotion: "Wang, according to the usual practice, you can already change to fly a fighter jet, but it's a pity that the fighter jet doesn't know when it will arrive."

   As Delano said, he unbuckled his seat belt and walked down the gangway.

  The flight training in the morning has been successfully concluded, and the rest, let’s wait until the afternoon to practice!

   However, when Delano stepped off the plane, he frowned.

   Something is wrong, why are there a large number of people in the base?

   During this period of time, they are familiar with each other and can communicate easily in each other's language. This sudden arrival of a guest can be recognized at a glance.

  However, what made Delano even more excited was that some of these people were familiar to him!

   "Qin, why are you here?" Delano greeted excitedly.

  Qin Tao took a look at himself: he was wrapped in a military coat, with a scarf around his face, and a dog fur hat on his head. How did Delano recognize him?

   "We pilots must have a pair of sharp eyes." Delano said, "I can recognize you even if you are wearing helmet goggles."

   Is this the skill of a pilot? This is a police dog, right?

   Wild dog, mad dog, police dog?

  Qin Tao cursed in his heart.

   "Qin, what are you doing here?" Delano was very excited, feeling faintly that something was going to happen.

   "Just now I heard you complain that there are no fighter jets flying?"

  Hearing Qin Tao's rhetorical question, Delano felt his thoughts became clearer: "Qin, is there a fighter jet coming?"

   "How is your mastery of the Su-27's flight simulation?" Qin Tao asked.

  At this moment, Draenor felt his heart pounding. Sure enough, he could fly a heavy fighter!

   "I practice every day." Delano said: "As long as there is a plane, I will definitely be able to fly."

  Qin Tao nodded: "That's good, the two-seater trainer and the single-seater fighter will fly over this afternoon. Learn on the trainer first, and then go to the fighter when there is no problem."

  Trainer, fighter?

   Delano's face suddenly showed surprise: "The Su-30 that fell into the sea back then, has it been refitted?"

Delano also participated in the original project. He remembers very clearly that he was also a part of it. That is, in that operation, he fully experienced how cunning Mr. Qin of the Mingzhou Group is. Following such a person Do it, that's interesting!

   Now, what Delano subconsciously means is that Su-30.

Qin Tao shook his head: "The plane was sent to the relevant domestic agencies, and then the Air Force took a fancy to it. We made an exchange with the Air Force, using the Su-30 that needed maintenance for a Su-27UB from the Air Force. , and in exchange for a flight instructor from the Air Force.”

  The Navy needs the Su-30, and so does the Air Force!

   After all, the Navy can still rely on the Flying Leopard to make up the numbers temporarily. What does the Air Force have? The old H-6 and Qiang-5 are not enough at all. The Air Force is looking forward to a modern fighter-bomber, so it took a fancy to this Su-30 that fell into the water. It's okay to copy it out.

  Since the Air Force needs it, of course it needs to be exchanged.

Due to the lack of advanced training aircraft, the training of Su-27 fighter pilots is also very costly. Pilots need to fly on the same Su-27 trainer aircraft, that is, Su-27UB. Due to the cumbersome training tasks, the frequency of use of these aircraft Very high, although it's only been a few years, almost half of its lifespan has been consumed.

  So, if it’s a waste for a waste, don’t complain to anyone. However, after a lot of verbal confrontation, a flight instructor was also invited to save the old man from poaching someone.

In later generations, this kind of problem has never been encountered, because when the navy was developing its carrier-based aircraft force, it already had a large number of Su-30s, and it was enough to transfer the pilots in the front cabin of the Su-30s to fly J-15. Later, because of the lack of Su-30 pilots, a group of radar officers in the rear cabin even transferred to fly.

   Now, the Navy has to train from scratch, a Su-27UB trainer is a must.

   "Actually, I don't need to fly a trainer plane at all. I can fly a fighter jet directly." Delano complained: "I'm an old pilot, and my flying skills are better than your flight instructors!"

   "I don't care what I say." Qin Tao said, "Is it noon now? Shall we go eat?"

"good!"

  So, Qin Tao had another pilot meal. Wang Wei and others were extremely excited when they saw Qin Tao coming, chatting along the way.

  In the afternoon of that day, the flight training was suspended. Everyone looked up at the sky and waited eagerly. When the roar came from the north, a beautiful triplane fighter appeared in the sky.

   "This is the first time I've seen a three-plane aircraft! Is this the Su-33?" Delano asked excitedly.

"No, this is our navy's J-15 fighter." Qin Tao said: "It will become the first carrier-based fighter of our navy and the second heavy-duty carrier-based fighter in the world. In the future, it will be the The only heavy carrier-based fighter."

  Hearing that it is the only one in the world, Delano felt a little bit emotional. The Tomcat is gradually retiring. In the future, the carrier-based heavy fighters may really be left with the current one.

This is one of the two prototypes brought back by Qin Tao, one of which was disassembled for surveying and mapping, and the other was restored. After obtaining the engine provided by Lao Maozi, this plane can finally fly up.

  Although Factory 112 and Institute 601 both hoped that the aircraft would stay with them, after several flight tests to verify the performance of the aircraft, the recent international situation has changed dramatically, and the Navy has become urgent.

   Just like that, this T-10K-7 transformed into a No. 1501 carrier-based aircraft, becoming the first carrier-based fighter of the Navy!

  In the eyes of everyone, the plane slowly landed on the runway, and Delano gave a blank look: "The landing was not blocked, bad review."

Although it is based on a carrier-based aircraft, only a dozen or so people from the wasteland village base can use carrier-based aircraft to land in China. Even the test pilot who sent the plane over would definitely not dare to play like this. Landed down, and slid into the covered hangar on the side.

  Since it was put into use again, the infrastructure construction has not stopped. Obviously, the Navy intends to use this place as an important carrier-based aviation training base.

  Everyone also walked towards the hangar.

  As soon as the test pilot got off the fighter plane, Delano had already climbed up the gangway, looking at the things in the cockpit.

   "Why is it still a watch shop? Didn't it mean that it has become a glass cockpit?" Delano was a little curious.

  The cockpit is full of instruments, no different from the Su-27. People in the East say that aviation technology is very advanced, and advanced glass cockpits have begun to appear. Looking at it now, this is not the case at all!

   "This is only the first pre-experimental model. It was handed over to us for flight training. The later official production model must have a glass cockpit." The test pilot introduced.

   It turned out to be a test product!

   "Can it meet the take-off and landing requirements of carrier-based aircraft?" Delano continued to ask.

   "Of course no problem." The test pilot had heard of Delano's name a long time ago, so he stood below and exchanged a few words with Delano in fluent English.

   While speaking, there was another roar in the sky.

   "The trainer plane is here!" Someone shouted loudly.

  So, a group of people rushed over.

  The two planes did not come at the same time, one from the south and the other from the north. The J-15 took off directly from the runway of Factory 112 in the north, while the Su-27UB took off directly from the air force base in the south.

   (Looks like this export model should be called UBK.)

   "Boss Qin, let's go and have a look?" Li Yan, the person in charge of the base, said to Qin Tao.

  Qin Tao nodded, and just wanted to go with Li Yan, but thought of something, turned to look at the hangar: "Send more sentries, keep an eye on this hangar."

Mad Dog’s name is not for nothing. This Draenor is the instructor of the base. He has a lot of power and is usually supported. This guy is so bold that he might secretly drive the plane out. Thinking that the technology is good enough to fly directly, Qin Tao must not let this happen.

  Li Yan glanced at Qin Tao suspiciously, and then understood: "That's right, I have to drive a few more cars."

  Although the hangar is not open-air, it has no doors. It is actually equivalent to a bridge hole, with openings on the front and back. When the plane lands, it slides directly into the hangar, and when it needs to be dispatched, it slides out directly from the other side.

   Only the F-117 or B-2 need a fully enclosed hangar. Most of the hangars are in this way, which is already very good. Many domestic airports still release aircraft in the open air.

  Su-27UB did not slide directly into the hangar, but stopped on the runway. The flight instructor Li Mingquan sent by the Air Force came down from above and raised his right hand to the person in front of him.

   "Report, Air Force Lieutenant Commander Li Mingquan, come here to report. In the next period of time, I will temporarily obey the orders of the Navy!"

"Major Li, you don't have to be so restrained. We invited you to be an instructor. Next, these key pilots in our base will change to fly Su-27 series aircraft. We need you to fly them." Li Yan He looked at Li Mingquan: "Anyway, until my pilot can fully master the flying skills of the Su-27, I will never let you go. You must be mentally prepared."

"yes!"

   Li Mingquan saluted again: "I promise to complete the task!"

Li Mingquan was the first batch of pilots to fly the Su-27, the first batch of third-generation pilots under the strict guidance of the old Maozi instructor, and Li Mingquan was also the best of the first batch, so let him help train the pilots. It also took a lot of effort.

  Actually, it’s okay to find Lao Maozi’s flight instructor. In this era, Lao Maozi’s active pilots can’t get much salary. It’s not a big problem to invite them to the East, but there are a large number of Americans in the base!

  Who knows whether these Cold War opponents can work together under the same banner now, and there is a more important reason: the ongoing projects here need to be kept from the old man.

  Although the old Maozi will still find out in the end, it will take as long as it can. After all, when Qin Tao was fooling the old Maozi, he said with certainty that if the 601 can handle the carrier-based aircraft, then I would rather go backwards!

Qin Tao was prepared at that time. The so-called walking backwards is definitely not walking backwards with his head down and his hands on the ground, but walking backwards. This can be regarded as walking backwards, but he will definitely be scolded shamelessly by then .

   Avoid it if you can.

  So, domestic instructors are used, and everyone speaks the same thing, which is convenient for training. It would be good if these pilots can speak English now, so we can’t let them speak Russian fluently.

   "Flight instructor? I challenge you!" At this moment, a person came over with a low voice.

  Draenor!

Delano originally had an idea to fly the J-15 while others were not paying attention, but the ground was too tightly guarded, and there were traffic jams at the front and back, so he gave up and couldn't get out at all. !

  Draenor could only stroll to the airport runway, and when he saw the big guys surrounding the flight instructor, he was immediately unhappy.

  I am the flight instructor! You pilots are all taught by me. Now, why did a new instructor suddenly come here?

   Moreover, the most important thing is that this instructor has to teach Draenor, which makes him unbearable, so he still needs to teach?

   "You are...Mr. Wu Song, right?" Before coming here, Li Mingquan had already heard of the reputation of the American instructor here, but he didn't expect that after coming here, the other party would give him a blow.

"I heard that there is a sequence, and there is a specialization in the art. If it is the take-off and landing of a carrier-based aircraft, then I have to ask you to be my teacher. However, as for the Su-27, I have already flown it for more than 800 hours. "Li Mingquan said: "I have accumulated more experience on this plane than you, so if you want to fly, I have to fly you a few times."

   "Eight hundred hours? This kind of aircraft has been equipped with Dongfang for five or six years, and you can't even fly for two hundred hours a year?" Delano opened his eyes wide: "How dare you say that you have rich experience?"

  Everyone was embarrassed for a while.

  In the 1980s and 1990s, the country's economy was undergoing transformation, and the military had to be patient. Therefore, military expenditures were very small. In the aviation force, there were not many people who could fly 50 hours a year. They had no money!

  The Su-27 is equipped with elite troops, so they are guaranteed 150 to 60 hours of flying time a year, which has already made the whole army envious.

  In the eyes of Americans, this kind of flight is like fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

  Flying for one hour generally requires 5 to 6 hours of ground maintenance. In other words, under normal circumstances, the standard of the US Air Force is that pilots fly an average of 17.8 hours per month, and the flight time per year is about 213.6 hours.

   Of course, this is the standard of the nineties. The peak was in 1990, and pilots flew about 29 hours per month on average, and in later generations, the time began to shrink continuously.

   In the worst year of 2019, there were only 6.8 hours per month on average. In 2021, the average flying time will rise to 10.1 hours per month.

  By 2020, the basic standard of the Eastern Air Force will be able to fly more than 200 hours a year, which is twice that of the Americans.

   And now, Delano's contempt makes the big guys feel uncomfortable.

"Cough, cough." Qin Tao said: "Is there any way to do this? It's not because of insufficient funds. Wu Song, you have to know that the base here is continuously rotating, and you can fly for training every day. That consumes the fuel of other troops! You every day Flying to the sky is based on the fact that others can't fly to the sky, so don't take advantage of it and act like a good boy. Keep a low profile, low profile."
