In order to prevent Ah San from falling in love with the Su-30, Qin Tao ghost-wrote the news report that Delano transferred to the Los Angeles Daily News, and wrote it very carefully.
In addition to the flaws in the aerodynamic layout, the more important issue is the avionics problem!
At air shows, the Su-30 has frequently appeared, demonstrating its powerful mounting capabilities. When we see its wing pylons loaded with various precision-guided weapons, we will be impressed by the power of this aircraft.
And shocked. However, please note that these are all just for show. So far, Damao simply does not have the ability to complete this kind of system integration work!
The Su-30 that appeared at the air show was just a repainted Su-27ub, and it had no ability to guide these weapons at all!
Although Da Mao claims that this aircraft has a variety of radar options that are more advanced than the Su-27's avionics system, in fact, these radars are immature, especially because they were originally planned to be used as Su-30 fighter radars.
The system's Snow Leopard radar, they claim that this radar can effectively guide r77, r73, r27, kh31 and other missiles to attack targets. It can track 15 targets at the same time and launch attacks on four targets, and can be detected 150 kilometers away
Surface ships generally exceed the performance of the F-15 radar, and can even compete with the AN/APG-77 radar used by the most advanced F22A.
However, these are all false. This is just a radar that is still in a testing state and is far from mature. Moreover, its air search distance will not exceed 60 kilometers!
"That's right, someone must have leaked the secret. Otherwise, no one would know the detailed parameters of our avionics, and we have never introduced our Snow Leopard radar to Easterners!" Yemelyanov finally did.
A definite conjecture was made.
He continued to look down, and the volume loss nozzle was mentioned below.
Lao Maozi has been studying thrust loss technology, trying to create a variety of dazzling maneuvers. In this era when beyond-visual-range combat has gradually become the mainstream and stealth capabilities are becoming more and more important, blindly pursuing maneuverability will not achieve anything at all.
Meaning, and this is based on the fact that the displacement nozzle only lasts ten hours!
If you want to use this function, you need to replace the displacement nozzle every few days! Even the United States, which is rich and wealthy, will never be able to withstand this kind of consumption.
In short, there are a lot of problems with the Su-30. Whoever buys it will be fooled! Buyers must keep their eyes open!
"Damn it. This article smearing our Su-30 is clearly meant to block our Su-30 export channels!" Yemelyanov became angry.
According to international fighter export practices, there are few restrictions on the export of air superiority fighters. After all, aircraft that can only fight in the air are not threatening, but fighters with powerful ground attack capabilities are difficult to obtain.
Lao Maozi rarely exported fighter bombers before, and other countries did not export much either. However, with the collapse of the Red Empire, Lao Maozi could sell anything in order to make money, even those for domestic use, which were not as advanced as exports.
If they want to export the Su-30, they can sell it for more money, and they can sell it for more. But now, with such a smear campaign, it is difficult to sell their aircraft anymore.
Some can be refuted, such as the aerodynamic problems of ultra-low-altitude flight, which are completely nonsense, and some they cannot refute, such as avionics issues. They do not have such advanced avionics equipment. Those announced to the outside world,
They are all bragging.
They all have a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Qin Tao has returned to Mingzhou.
I have been out for such a long time and have been so busy that I have not paid attention to the development of the shipyard.
When he came back, the first thing he went to see was the Oriental Sea Castle.
After several months of rust removal work, the entire exterior of the warship has finally been polished. At this time, workers are carrying out spray painting operations. The first thing to spray on is of course the gray primer, and the second coat of topcoat will have to wait until
Spray again when the modification has reached a certain level.
There was a smell of paint floating in the air. Qin Tao stood outside the dock and looked at the scene of painting work being done inside, feeling emotional in his heart.
"It's so happy to see it look brand new!" A voice came from behind Qin Tao.
"Old Ma, you look very good." Qin Tao said to Makarov with a smile.
"Yes, I feel like I am alive again with this warship." Makarov said: "The power system has been installed. Yesterday, we re-welded the upper opening of the power cabin.
It's a pity that sea trials can't be carried out, otherwise, it can be tested by igniting it."
Qin Tao smiled: "You have welded the opening before the sea trial. If something goes wrong, don't you have to dismantle it?"
"No, I've seen it. The quality of the boiler you made is quite good. It's better than the original boiler. There will definitely be no problems!" Speaking of this, Makarov was extremely excited: "The auxiliary engine
It has been installed in place, and our focus in the next period of time will be the modification of the internal cabin."
Painting and installing the engine may seem like a huge project, but in fact, they are all small things. The next work will be more cumbersome. Every cabin needs to be modified. Even the cabins that were installed before will lose many things inside.
.
The wiring needs to be reinstalled, the ventilation ducts need to be repaired, and every detail must be paid attention to. When the paint is finished, there will be a large number of workers working inside, day after day, year after year.
Makarov will also resume his previous work style and walk back and forth on the warship every day.
"Well, you must be careful and pay attention to safety when working." Qin Tao warned.
During the refitting of warships, accidental fires often occur and workers are killed. In serious cases, the entire warship can be scrapped.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Needless to say, the always neurotic old man, even the Americans have done this kind of thing. Back then, the American amphibious assault ship "Goodman Richard" was trying to
Carrying the F-35 carrier-based aircraft, it returned to the shipyard for renovation. As a result, one day, a fire suddenly broke out from the vehicle storage area on the lower deck. The flames burned upward, not only burning the multiple decks inside the amphibious assault ship.
, and also damaged facilities such as the ship island, mast and flight deck.
After some evaluation, the Americans thought it would be too troublesome to repair again, so they scrapped it.
We cannot afford such an accident. If a fire burns down the ship, it will definitely be a crime!
"We will pay attention to safety." Babic said from the side: "We will not let any accidents happen to this ship. It is of great significance to us!"
This ship is also Babbic's hard work. Babbic came to the East for several years just for this ship. Now, seeing his dream becoming a reality little by little, Babbic works seriously and responsibly, and must not make any mistakes.
What a surprise.
"Moreover, compared with the original design, it has made a lot of progress, such as its power supply system. We believe that the solution proposed by Ma Gong is the most suitable. This is simply a revolution in warship power." Ma.
Karov said.
Qin Tao smiled, of course there is no problem with Ma Gong's route. Otherwise, he would not support Ma Gong. However, the modification cycle of warships is very long, and the tests to be done will also be very long. Really
It will take some time to demonstrate the power of the medium-voltage DC power supply system.
"That's right, the power supply system of the 1164 cruiser has also undergone the same improvement. The steam turbine that drives the generator remains unchanged. It is just replaced with a multi-phase generator, and the power generation capacity is increased by 20%.
It’s so advanced!”
In addition to this aircraft carrier, the transformation of the Glorious class is also continuing. Although this warship is more than 90% complete, many parts were lost when it was on the outfitting dock, including all parts.
Many of the cables used in the ship's power supply system have been sold by various dealers for money.
When we first came back, we connected the cables directly from the power cabin. No one dared to close the switch directly to energize the whole ship. Then there would be electricity leakage everywhere.
In order to make the modification of this warship more complete, the entire electrical system of the ship also needs to be replaced. Since it needs to be replaced, the generator is simply replaced.
The warship's modification plan did not include this item. It was Yang Dawei who made the decision during the modification process.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, I want to go over and have a look."
Anyway, the aircraft carrier is still being painted. Even if you smell the paint, it is as intoxicating as smelling the engine exhaust when you were a child. Smelling it too much is not good, and you can't go in and look at it while it is being painted, so you can only take a quick look here.
.
The 10,000-ton destroyer with hull number 138 can be looked at more carefully.
Things that need to be dismantled have been dismantled, and things that need to be cut have been cut off. This warship looks a bit messy. However, it cannot be built without destruction. Only such drastic improvements can bring this warship back to life.
"President Qin, you are here." Seeing Qin Tao coming, Mutisin ran over first: "Currently, the disassembly work of this warship is almost complete, and the modification of the power system is also continuing. However, there are some things
It would be a pity to tear it down.”
"What a pity?" Qin Tao looked at Mutisin curiously.
"Yes, take the naval gun as an example. The AK630 naval gun was also dismantled. I remember that you also imitated this naval gun in your country. Is your imitation more advanced than our original version?"
Qin Tao smiled: "Yes, the warships we produced before used imitations of the AK630 naval gun, but we already have a brand new close-in defense gun, so this device has been eliminated."
In terms of dealing with sea-skimming anti-ship missiles, the last line of defense is close-in defense artillery. The mainstream in the West uses Phalanx, and Lao Maozi uses ak630.
The country has long been paying attention to this project. In the mid-1980s, the Navy conducted a demonstration of close-in defense artillery. After a comprehensive evaluation, it decided to choose the 730 naval gun solution, which is called Project 857.
However, this kind of advanced close-in defense artillery using external energy cannot be developed overnight, and there is also an urgent need for close-in defense artillery in China. Therefore, when Qin Tao got Lao Maozi's second-hand warship back, The 713 Research Institute in China, which failed in the bidding, took over the above AK630 naval gun and quickly copied it.
Therefore, the warships manufactured by Mingzhou Group, whether they are catamaran 022 missile boats, 051c air defense destroyers, or 054 frigates, all use this kind of imitation naval gun.
Therefore, in Mutisin's eyes, this warship does not need to be picky and can just use the original naval guns.
However, they dismantled all those naval guns!
He was very curious, even a little confused.
"Eliminated?" After hearing Qin Tao's words, Mutisin became more curious: "Do you have a better close-defense weapon than the AK630 naval gun in your country?"
"Yes, we have developed advanced close-in defense artillery in China. The firepower density of this weapon system is much greater than that of the ak630, and its shooting accuracy is three times that of the ak630."
"The accuracy is three times that of ours? How is it possible?" Mutisin didn't believe it.
Qin Tao smiled: "Yes, it has an external energy source. You will know when the sea trial is held in the future."
For shipborne weapons, close-in defense guns are insignificant. Therefore, Yang Dawei, who has been busy revising the design drawings, did not introduce these to Mutisin. Recently, Mutisin just directed the workers to disassemble them according to Yang Dawei's instructions. Regarding parts on warships, although I don’t understand some of the work, I reserve my opinions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The imitation of the Lao Maozi naval gun used in the past few years is just a temporary alternative. When the domestic 730 close-in defense gun is produced, it is code-named pj. After the -12 type short-range anti-missile naval gun weapon system was successfully developed, almost all domestic warships have installed this system, making it the world's second-most close-range defense weapon after Phalanx.
Now, since Yang Dawei has made this design arrangement, it means that the 730 gun has been successfully developed and tested.
"Mr. Qin, for a close-in defense gun, is accuracy so important? It is precisely because the accuracy is not high and the projectiles are spread over a large area that all-round damage can be achieved." Mutisin was still a little curious.
This is also the view of many people: the accuracy is not enough to match the numbers, and even the larger the dispersion area is, the easier it is to intercept the target.
"Yes, you are right, but that is a waste of ammunition!" Qin Tao said: "After the accuracy is improved, we will use fewer shells to intercept the same target, so our continuous interception capability will be better
powerful."
The close-in defense gun can fire at a rate of several thousand rounds per minute, which sounds impressive, but in fact, it only has a few hundred rounds of ammunition.
The higher the accuracy, the fewer projectiles consumed for interception, which has great practical significance.
Mutisin nodded, full of curiosity about this brand new close-range defense cannon.
"In the past, our weapon systems were very advanced, but now, I always feel that we are standing still, and you are already making great strides to surpass us. This No. 138 should be the last warship you purchase.
, in the future, maybe it will be our turn to purchase from you." Mutisin said with some emotion.
However, his emotion made Qin Tao a little dissatisfied: "Mr. Mutisin, what is yours and ours? Aren't we all from the same group?"
Mutisin was speechless: "Yes, I made a mistake just now. We are all from the Mingzhou Group, and we are all in the same camp. Alas, I always live in the past and can't get out of it."
Qin Tao smiled: "You are not wrong. Of course, a person cannot forget his roots. However, it is not enough to always live in the past world. You must constantly look forward."
Look forward!
Qin Tao's words made Mutisin nod in praise: "Yes, we have to look forward! This warship is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more and more advanced warships in the future!"
"Let's go down and take a look." Qin Tao said, walking towards the dock.
The warship in the process of modification looks very messy, with dense scaffolding tied up outside the warship and even extending to the top of the bridge.
The crane on the side of the dock is busy moving various parts.
At the rear of the warship, arc sparks flew, where the flight deck had begun to be enlarged and related welding work was being carried out.
Time is tight and the task is heavy. According to Qin Tao, it is best to complete it by the end of this year or early next year. Therefore, the dismantling and modification of the warship are almost carried out simultaneously.
Yang Dawei stood on the mast at the back, directing the long-range early warning radar equipped with a meter-wave antenna. They had long been accustomed to Qin Tao coming and going without a trace. Even when they heard that Mr. Qin had arrived, Yang Dawei did not run over.
Welcome, but continue to be busy here.
It wasn't until Qin Tao came over that he turned around and looked at Qin Tao.
"Mr. Qin, we encountered a lot of technical problems during the modification." Yang Dawei said: "The modification was much more difficult than expected."
"Really?" Qin Tao asked curiously: "What's the problem?"
"The main issue is compatibility. It is not easy for us to match the weapons produced by ourselves with the weapons produced by Lao Maozi and work together." Yang Dawei said: "Fortunately, we have been exposed to a large number of Lao Maozi's weapons before.
, Otherwise, not to mention the end of this year, even by the end of next year, I’m afraid it won’t be completed.”
If all the weapons are our own, then there will be no problem with compatibility, as they have been taken into consideration during the design. However, this kind of modified warship is different.
Even if they have already built two 051cs and another 054, which are equipped with some domestic weapons and some imitation weapons, the complexity is not as great as before. After all, those two weapon systems only have one anti-aircraft missile, and now , the number of anti-aircraft missiles on this warship is huge, and they are divided into long-range and medium-range.
When foreign technology was introduced to manufacture the 052, similar problems arose, which resulted in the destroyer taking a long time to complete debugging.
"We use this meter-wave radar as a long-range warning radar. After it finds the target, it can transmit the data to our Hongqi-16 system, but it cannot be transmitted to the S-300 system. When carrying out layer-by-layer defense, The two systems are also unable to coordinate and distribute targets."
Qin Tao frowned: "How did Lao Maozi's system work in the past?"
There was embarrassment on Mutisin's face: "In the past, air defense missions were divided into two types, one was long-range air defense, using the S-300 system, and the other was self-defense air defense, using short-range air defense missiles. According to different needs to switch between different air defense modes.”
This explanation surprised Qin Tao: "Can't they be used together?"
Mutisin nodded.
Now I understand how the Moskva was sunk. This 10,000-ton cruiser sailing in the Black Sea was said to be performing a long-range air defense mission at the time, aiming at the drones at high altitudes. Therefore, for the low-altitude drones flying over, The sea-skimming anti-ship missile did not take any precautions, but was killed by one shot.
What an injustice!
Talking about the three-layer defense system of far, middle and near is actually useless!
"Have you found a solution?" Qin Tao asked.
"Currently we are concentrating on solving the problem, but it is very difficult. After all, the Rif-M air defense system belongs to Lao Maozi, and we lack engineers in this area."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Mingzhou Group has many old technicians, most of them are shipbuilders. For them, supporting ship-to-air missiles, they Only responsible for installation, debugging work is also completed by supporting technicians.
Moreover, Lao Maozi has not completed the integration, so he directly created two different models, which is simple and crude.
"So we still have to have our own system. When our regional air defense missile system matures in the future, it will be easy to integrate it." Qin Tao also sighed.
Even if Lao Maozi provides anti-aircraft missiles, he will never provide the core secrets inside.
"Yes." Yang Dawei said: "We will definitely not use this kind of useless system in the future, but now, don't we have to try to reduce the cost of modification as much as possible."
If he had followed Yang Dawei's original plan and just replaced it with the red flag nine, it would be all his own, so there wouldn't be so much trouble.
"This kind of integration is difficult to complete, after all, it comes from flaws in the upper-level command system." Mutisin spoke.
This sentence reminded everyone present.
Flaws in the upper-level command system? This is easy to handle!
"I think we should simply use our own combat command system to completely replace the entire warship's original combat command system." Qin Tao immediately provided an idea: "We will invite relevant technical personnel to find a way to complete the Rif-m system
Integration, or you just need to provide the target data to this system.”
Domestic technicians who study the Hongqi-9 missile often study Lao Maozi's S-300. Even if the Navy and Army versions are different, they can still study it.
There is a problem with Lao Maozi's command system, so just replace it directly. In this way, this long-range air defense system is at the lower level of the system. As long as it can receive the target data from the combat command system and then intercept it, it is enough.
Yang Dawei was also impressed: This method is great!
We already have two mature air defense ships, 051c and 054, which use domestic command systems. All we need to do is transplant them over. Although it is necessary to dismantle Lao Maozi's system, which is a bit wasteful, in this way, the integration work will be smoother.
You can do better!
"Mr. Qin, then we will follow this plan! Complete the design within a month!"
The modification of warships must continue, and various missile launchers should be installed as needed. This kind of command system can only be improvised, but they are confident!
