The AK630 close-in defense gun still has a certain power. It has a rate of fire of several thousand rounds per minute, plus a reserve of two thousand bombs. Under the guidance of the fire control radar, it sets a target for an incoming anti-ship missile.
The metal storm composed of cannonballs is still no problem.
Although its accuracy is not high enough and the shell scattering area is relatively large, it is still very confident to intercept a subsonic anti-ship missile without performing a terminal snake maneuver due to the quantity.
successful.
According to Qin Tao's idea, he wanted to display this domestically produced PJ13 naval gun, which was improved from the AK630 close-in defense gun, and use it as a defense weapon for Siam to build an aircraft carrier. However, he did not expect that the catamaran missile boat was too good.
The Kingdom of Siam actually submitted a purchase application.
Can it be exported?
Qin Tao doesn’t care. After all, this kind of weapon is one of the Navy’s few trump cards and cannot be sold for money. The Navy will continue to place orders, and the Mingzhou Shipyard can continue to produce it, so there is no need to export it.
After hearing what the big shot said, Wu Shengli thought for a moment, and then said: "This kind of missile boat is currently only suitable for mobile operations in offshore areas. It is used by us to fight guerrillas at sea. It has a displacement of only more than two hundred tons and has no air conditioning equipment. It is not
I want to know whether it can adapt to the combat environment in tropical waters. If you have needs, you can ask Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group to conduct some adaptability research. After the research, you can make a choice. Wouldn't it be better?"
What Wu Shengli said makes sense. Is the 022 missile boat really designed for the tropical environment? After all, there is no need for this kind of offshore defense missile boat to jump to the South China Sea to fight. The missile boat does not have a special air-conditioning system.
, the temperature inside this iron/aluminum alloy shell is estimated to be 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, and it is impossible for the sailors to maintain strong energy to fight.
Therefore, this requires some research.
Let's delay it for a period of time, and then make a decision after careful study whether it can be exported. Anyway, Mingzhou Shipyard has the aircraft carrier construction contract, and it is already full of food, so it doesn't care about this.
Summer is coming to an end and the climate in the capital is pleasant.
After returning from the sea, the guests from Siam carefully studied the various parameters and quotations of the Sea Sidewinder and the PJ13 close-in defense gun. After a day of careful consideration, the big shot finally made a decision.
The quality is reliable, the firepower is ferocious, the interception success rate is high, and the price is cheap. What can I say? Just install these weapon systems on their aircraft carriers!
In this way, in addition to some electronic equipment on the ship island that needs to be imported from the West, the weapon systems are also directly assembled by Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group.
"We are very interested in the Yak-141 carrier-based aircraft. I wonder if there is a chance to visit it?" Just after the entire contract was signed, the big man put down his pen and suddenly asked such a question.
Visiting the Yak-141?
Qin Tao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Sure enough, he had gone too far and the other party was serious!
All the Chinese representatives present were very embarrassed. Everyone knew very well that the so-called Yak-141 was Qin Tao's trick to deceive people. It was the most important bargaining chip to win the aircraft carrier order. They originally thought that it would be enough if they deceived people.
But now, I didn’t expect that people actually took it seriously and now asked to visit!
At this time, you must not show any cowardice. Although the contract has been signed, the other party has not made the down payment yet. If you know that Qin Tao is talking about the truth, it will be okay. Not only may the order be ruined, but it may also affect the
The reputation of arms sales to the motherland!
Qin Tao's mind was thinking rapidly. If it were the official way, it would definitely not work. After all, if an officer from Siam appeared at Lao Maozi's place, it would definitely cause a sensation in the world.
But if you change the way, it's very simple.
Then, a smile appeared on Qin Tao's face: "Of course there is no problem, but we can only use unofficial methods now. You can send one or two officers to pretend to be our people. You can first go to Yakovlev to design
I would like to visit the bureau. As for formal procurement, that will have to wait until a few years later. By that time, our navy's aircraft carriers will also be built, and we need to purchase a batch. This will give us room for operation. I hope you can understand.
"
After all, this is related to international politics. When other brains said this, the big man hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Then, let's keep Lakul and his adjutants, Mr. Lao Qin will take them to the Red Army.
Let the empire investigate."
Rakul nodded: "Yes, next."
Qin Tao let out a long breath, and it would be better if he left LaCour. Now LaCour and Qin Tao are already good friends.
Wu Shengli stood aside and broke into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Qin Tao solved the problem. When Qin Tao proposed an unofficial method and pretended to be one of his own personnel, Wu Shengli had already guessed Qin Tao's plan, and this was the only way.
However, if we want to visit, such a good opportunity cannot be wasted! Should we also send a few aviation experts to follow Qin Tao to see it?
Well, you must, this opportunity cannot be missed!
The big shot had a lot of things to do. He came here to visit the sea show, signed a contract, and had some state exchanges. On the third day, he returned to Siam, leaving only Rakul and his adjutant.
The navy also acted very quickly. In a short period of time, it collected a boatload of good things for Qin Tao, including cans, ham, flour, fine wine... everything was done according to the old rules, and the navy could also take part of the benefits.
Qin Tao stood on the bow of the boat, facing the sea breeze, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Are you a shipbuilder or a second-rate dealer? As the boss of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, the time spent running around as a second-rate dealer is much longer than the time spent in the shipyard!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Qin, why do we have to bring so many things there?" Lakul asked Qin Tao.
The adjutant he brought with him is a language proficient and can speak several languages. Now he can act as a translator. Sometimes Rakul speaks simple English to communicate with Qin Tao, sometimes he speaks Siamese directly, and then asks the adjutant to
To translate.
"Because we want to make friends with Lao Maozi." Qin Tao said: "Rakul, my friend, after you get there, you'd better stay silent and don't speak to avoid exposing your identity."
Everyone is of the yellow race, so if you don't open your mouth to speak, Lao Maozi won't notice anything unusual.
Rakul nodded: "I know, my identity is Zhao's distant relative."
Rakul and his adjutant were assigned identities. Rakul was a distant relative of Zhao Ling, and they were closely related by blood. Therefore, it was understandable that they looked nothing alike.
Rakul looked around, then saw an old man and a young man standing on the other side of the deck, and said, "What are their identities?"
"They are our domestic aviation experts. They will go to Lao Maozi's Pacific Fleet to inspect aviation equipment. When the time comes, they will make a request to see the Yak-141." Qin Tao said.
He looked at the two people over there. At this time, the two people were also looking over and smiled at Qin Tao's gaze.
"Mr. Gu, it's windy on the sea. Don't catch a cold. You'd better go back." Qin Tao said to the older man.
Both of them came from the 601 Institute in China. The older one was named Gu and was respectfully called Mr. Gu. The younger one, a middle-aged man in his thirties, was called Sun Chong.
(Everyone should know about these two people. In fact, the Hero of East China also likes the 611th Institute. In the big power aviation, you can feel the hatred of the Hero of East China for the Northern Institute. However, now we are going to see the carrier-based aircraft.
As we all know, the carrier-based aircraft was developed by 601, and the vertical take-off and landing fighter aircraft our country developed in the 1960s was also developed by 601. So after thinking for a long time, we decided to invite these two to appear. Our J-10 is still
There are J-20s but they can’t board the ship, so we won’t involve the 611th Institute for the time being.)
There was a smile on Mr. Gu's face: "It's okay, my old bones are still strong. This time I can go to Lao Maozi with Mr. Qin for a private inspection. It's a rare opportunity. It's been decades!"
Although the Su-27sk fighter jets will be assembled in the 112 factory in the future, and then the 601 institute will study the above technology, and finally produce the J-11, but that is all for the future. Now, the contract for the first batch of Su-27sk,
It is also a method of directly purchasing the entire aircraft, which does not involve assembly. Therefore, those of them at the aircraft design institute have not yet had the opportunity to come into contact with Lao Maozi's aviation technology.
Thinking of going there this time to inspect the famous Yakovlev Design Bureau, Mr. Gu was very excited.
Sun hurriedly said: "The Yakovlev Design Bureau was so brilliant in the era of propeller aircraft. In the jet era, how come it was taken away by Mikoyan and Sukhoyin?"
Sun Chong, who is in his thirties, has been working at Institute 601 for nearly ten years. He graduated from Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, first engaged in avionics, and then in complete aircraft, and now he has gradually begun to show his talents.
He is naturally very interested in things in these industries.
Hearing what he said, Qin Tao sighed with emotion: "Among them are the personal abilities of Mikoyan and Su Huoyin, as well as personal relationships. However, when it comes to military aircraft research and development capabilities, Yakovlev Design Bureau also has many capable people.
Yes. Let’s go this time and build a good relationship. From now on..."
Sure enough, it was inconvenient to bring Rakul with him. It would be easier to talk if we were all on our own. However, for the sake of a large order of more than 300 million US dollars, Qin Tao still had to be more enthusiastic.
"We have already contacted them. Once we reach their waters, a frigate will come to pick us up." At this time, Zhao Ling came out and said to Qin Tao.
There were six people in their party, excluding the crew, who were really going to inspect Lao Maozi's place. Zhao Ling was also transferred here. This has almost become a routine.
"The frigate is coming to meet you?" Hearing Zhao Ling's words, Lakul was surprised. The personal relationship between Mr. Qin and Lao Maozi is too good, right?
Qin Tao smiled: "We are all old friends. From now on, our business will reach the waters of Siam. If necessary, we will probably have to ask your navy to help us."
Rakul immediately patted his chest: "No problem!"
Time passed quickly on the ship, and soon it entered Lao Maozi's waters. Sure enough, a Lao Maozi frigate came over with black smoke. There was even a helicopter flying over, and several naval infantrymen came directly.
The plane came down.
"Hey, my old friends, it's nice to meet you." Qin Tao warmly extended his arms to Zayintsev and hugged him. This has almost become a normal meeting etiquette.
This kind of hug is nothing. When Brezhnev was still alive, he felt that hugs were not enough to express enthusiasm, so he went a step further. The two men hugged and gnawed together. The scene was so spectacular that it even became a propaganda poster.
, when the Iron Lady went on a visit to the Red Empire, she guarded against Brezhnev and did not let him succeed.
"Come, Zayintsefu, let me introduce to you. These two are experts from the 601 Institute in our country. They came out to see the world. The two here are relatives of Zhao."
Zayintsev shook hands with everyone enthusiastically: "Welcome to the Soviet Union. Since you were brought by Qin, you are our friends. I hope you can have a good time in Vladivostok."
In the afternoon of the same day, the ship docked and everything went smoothly. Qin Tao took Zhao Ling to Nikolai's office, while the other four people, led by Zayintsev, wandered around the port.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Qin, all the things agreed last time can be shipped out, but the modern class will have to wait for a while." I met Qin.
After Tao, Nicholas spoke.
Qin Tao nodded: "Well, I'm not in a hurry. When you finish the process, I'll come and drag it away."
After the two discussed and concluded the deal for selling goods, the phone rang.
Nikolay picked up the phone, and Zayintsev's voice came from the phone: "Hey, Comrade Nikolay, these guests have seen our Yak-38 fighter jets, and they heard that we have a more advanced vertical take-off and landing fighter jet here.
, I want to go and see it.”
"Really?" Nicholas thought for a moment, and then said: "They just crashed a prototype recently. The Navy is very sad. If this project succeeds, it can be used on our existing heavy-duty aircraft carrier cruisers.
Since our distinguished guests want to go, I will take them there to see if there is any hope for this project."
Hearing Nikolai say this, Qin Tao suddenly reacted, yes, how could he forget? The famous Yak-141 crashed a prototype in 1991!
All good airplanes fall out. The third-generation airplanes currently in service in the world all have crash records during test flights. The only one that has broken this curse is the domestic J-10.
The Su-27 also crashed during a test flight. However, it is a key project of the Homeland Defense Air Force. The Yakovlev Design Bureau is originally not loved by father and mother. A crashed prototype is enough to make them crash.
Into the abyss.
"Nikolai, my friend, the Yakovlev Design Bureau crashed the plane?" Qin Tao asked Nikolai: "Their plane was smashed into pieces. I wonder if it can be sold?"
Nicholas's face lit up with joy, yes, he almost forgot that Qin Tao often likes to collect rags when he comes here!
"I don't know, we can go and take a look." Nicholas said.
At the time just now, it was just out of a relationship between friends and I took guests to see it, but now that there are benefits, it's different.
Even though the Yak-141 is an era-defining aircraft, no one is optimistic about this project. The Navy has also begun to build a ski-jump aircraft carrier like the Kuznetsov. In the future, the carrier will be based on the Su-27k
Mainly, therefore, the Yak-141 project may even be terminated directly.
Since they are all unnecessary things, it is normal to sell them.
When he thought of this, Qin Tao suddenly had an idea. This is a good opportunity. Now, isn't it just a timely help? Anyway, the aircraft that the Yakovlev Design Bureau has painstakingly developed for more than ten years has been abandoned by the Maozi government, so it must be
Give them a way to survive. If the Yakovlev Design Bureau gets a sum of money, they can continue their research.
It's better to come early than to come by chance. I originally thought that Yak-141 dropped the prototype, which was bad news for me, but now I changed my mind and it became a good thing.
"Nicholas, my friend, I need your help." Qin Tao smiled and talked about his plan with Nikolai.
Anyway, it was just a plane that an old man didn’t want. Nikolai didn’t have any psychological burden and he readily agreed.
Yakovlev Design Bureau.
Chief designer Alexander Yakovlev looked at the pile of broken wreckage in front of him with complicated eyes.
(I really didn’t find out who the current designer of the Yakovlev Design Bureau is. I just found out the designer of the Yak-38. There is still only one name. He is probably the son of the old Yakovlev, who is the same as the Mikoyan Design Bureau.
Similar, I don’t know if it is correct, if anyone knows, please let me know. He is a tragic character. He has been engaged in vertical take-off and landing aircraft for most of his life, and he was about to achieve success, but in the end, he disappeared. This name is the same as the previous Alexander.
I have a name, but I can’t help it. This name is as common as our Xiao Ming.)
Alexander felt that this life was extremely hard. When he took over the Yakovlev Design Bureau, World War II had passed, and the glory of the past was gone. They had designed several jets for the army, but they were all squeezed out.
They have reached the edge, so they can only survive in the cracks and build training aircraft and regional airliners.
When the Navy needed vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, they were moved and took over the task. After all, the Navy did not have many carrier-based aircraft, and neither Mi Gaowao nor Su Huoyin liked it. In this way, this task fell to them.
In their hands, after more than ten years of hard work, they finally developed the prototype Yak-36 into the mature Yak-36m, also known as the Yak-38, which was deployed on several heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers, each carrying
The number is almost single digits.
Due to performance flaws, their Yak-38 was nicknamed the Peace Dove and Mast Defender by the Navy. However, they were not discouraged. By 1974, Moscow issued a pre-research project for a second-generation vertical take-off and landing fighter.
Not surprisingly, their Yakovlev Design Bureau won the bid again.
If you want to revive the Yakovlev Design Bureau, you can only place your hopes on this new vertical take-off and landing fighter! This aircraft, code-named Yak-41, was slowly produced under Alexander's hands.
From 1975 to now, Alexander has been focusing on the design of this vertical take-off and landing fighter. Unfortunately, due to a shortage of funds, it was not until 1987 that they obtained enough funds to build two prototypes. At the same time,
The model of the aircraft has also changed to Yak-141.
That's right, there are only two of them. One of them has to be dragged to the static test stand for static testing. The only one that is actually tested is the one in front of me. After more than two hundred hours of test flight, it fell.
Came down.
"When we were developing the Yak-38, we never crashed the aircraft. The cause of this crash must be thoroughly investigated. We are currently studying the flight control code. The fault is likely to be caused by the flight control." Next to Alexander
, assistant Andre said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The most dangerous part of this kind of vertical take-off and landing fighter is the take-off and landing phase, so the crash also occurred at this time. Due to the low flying altitude, this aircraft
It was not broken into parts. The entire aircraft still maintained its original shape, but was slightly flattened.
Therefore, they can completely study what went wrong based on the wreckage of the plane.
Since the plane crashed, they immediately set up a tent on top of the plane to protect the plane from the sun and rain and to cover up the faulty parts.
At the same time, they will also investigate in the order of software first, then hardware. For flight safety, this aircraft uses the most advanced three-redundant full-authority digital fly-by-wire control system. This is the first one in the Soviet Union.
Even the famous Su-27 uses analog fly-by-wire operation.
Because there is no experience, it is very likely that there will be a control system defect that leads to a crash. There is no other way but to continue to summarize through experiments.
"Yes, it is most likely caused by a defect in the flight control, but we no longer have the funds, and it is too difficult to build more prototypes," Alexander said.
"Can we still repair this plane?" Andre asked.
Repair it? The aircraft was flattened, and the main beam and frame were crooked. How can it be repaired? The difficulty of repairing it is almost the same as rebuilding it.
"If Moscow can allocate more funds to us, even if it only allocates five million rubles!" Alexander clenched his fists. Do you want to go to Moscow again and ask those big gentlemen for help?
(Why does it feel like the treatment is similar to that of Yun Shi back then? I can’t help but feel loved by my parents, so I am completely marginalized and left to fend for myself.)
"Comrade Alexander, Comrade Alexander, I have a phone call for you. It's from the Pacific Fleet."
Just then, someone ran over.
Pacific Fleet? Come to ask about the cause of the aircraft failure? Alexander's hope was raised.
When he finished the call, his face was extremely solemn.
