However, it is one thing to be sure that it can be used, and it is another thing to be able to use it.

Although the Dornier-228 small transport aircraft is very good on paper, it has a payload of about two tons, or a passenger capacity of 19 people, a take-off distance of 792 meters, and a landing and running distance of 451 meters, which is a typical short take-off and landing aircraft.

It can be said that it crushes all small transport aircraft of the same class.

But the problem is that just because the data on paper is good doesn't mean it's good in practice, the Dornier-228 has a good payload, but it has a range of only 1,100 kilometers, while the Dornier-228 station in Bangalore is 1,800 kilometers from the northern border town of Ruger.

In other words, the Dornier-228 took off from the air base in Bangalore and had to go through at least two landings to refuel and resupply before it could fly to the town of Rugel to pick up Marcelo and others.

Why twice, it's very simple, as the hardest-hit town of Ruger, the victims don't even have enough food to eat, and they still expect them to have extra aviation fuel and complete ground maintenance?

Therefore, before entering Ruger Town, the aircraft must be adjusted to the best condition, so that the Dornier-228 can take off and return home without supplies after entering Ruger Town.

And on this line, the military does have several airfields at its disposal.

As a result, New Delhi sent Dornier-228 to Rugar Town to evacuate three Western journalists, and the plan was finally formulated, and the plane successfully passed through the supply and maintenance of the two alternate airports, and finally reached the sky over Rugel Town.

The pilot flew around the town of Ruger several times in the Dornier-228, and finally flapped his wings and swaggered back.

This made Marcelo and Merklein, who were both abused by the local garrison and the victims in Rugel Town, and Marcelo and Merklein, who wanted to go home in the hope of the stars and the moon, almost didn't cry, and regardless of their identity as Western big Vs, pointed to the Dornier-228 who flew away.

It's just that the pilot who piloted the plane couldn't hear it at all, and it was destined that the two of them would scold in vain, but even if they heard it, the pilot would not land.

The reason is very simple, although the DORNIER-228 has short take-off and landing capabilities, due to the fact that the landing gear is too short from the ground and the retractable landing gear is not deliberately strengthened, the DORNIER-228 does not have the take-off and landing capabilities of complex ground.

In other words, in addition to regular airports, the DORNIER-228 can take off and land on flat roads at most.

This is not a problem at all in Europe, after all, there are not only many airports in Europe, but also a well-developed road network, and the Dornier-228 can be tossed as much as possible.

But in the South Asian subcontinent watered by the Ganges, Dornier-228 could not play around, and as long as people could walk on the muddy ground of the road, it was an excellent road.

This is like a noble lady from a wealthy family, married to a rough man who has nothing, and wants to live a delicate life?

This is the case with Dornier-228, not because he doesn't want to sleep with rough men, but because once the stinky body is pressed down, the delicate little body has to lose half a life.

So the ambitious plan ended as soon as it began, because New Delhi couldn't even count on the victims of Ruger Town, who couldn't even fill their stomachs, to build a kilometer-long asphalt road, right?

Even if the victims are willing to repair it, what will happen to the construction machinery? What should we do with the engineering materials? You must know that the road leading to the disaster area has not yet been opened, and if all the construction equipment and materials can be transported in, then what are the planes for? Several reporters came back along the landing route.

No way, New Delhi officials can only use helicopters to complete this task, no matter what, helicopters are more flexible in take-off and landing than fixed airplanes, not to mention that New Delhi is still very confident in this regard.

If it hadn't been for the fact that it wanted to compete with a certain big country in the East on small fixed-wing transport planes, New Delhi would have sent helicopters over long ago.

Yes, New Delhi is once again full of confidence in helicopters, even if a French Skylark III helicopter with a disaster relief mission crashed not long ago, New Delhi still feels confident, because in addition to the Skylark III helicopter, they also have a SA-3158 "American" helicopter in their hands.

Knowing that this model is purely domestically made, New Delhi believes that it is not only cheaper but also more reliable than the French Skylark III.

After deciding on a new plan, New Delhi immediately launched an operation, and the two "American" helicopters finally arrived in the town of Rugel after three transfers.

As a result, what made Marcelo and Merklene, who had been waiting for a long time, cry without tears, only one of the two helicopters came, but even the one that arrived could not take them back.

Because when the "American" helicopter landed again, the engine suddenly turned off, and then it was slapped to the ground under the incredible gaze of the two.

That's all, what made the two even more confused was that the pilot, who had escaped by luck, actually radioed him to inform him that he had successfully arrived in the disaster area, but it was just a small mistake and turned into a hard landing, and he needed some rear support or something to evacuate the converging foreign reporters.

Hearing this, Marcelo and Merklein were crazy, this NM is still called a success? Is it still a hard landing for NM? The helicopter is scrapped by NM, is it okay, and there is a face to say that Xiu Xiu can fly back?

By the way, what about the other one?

Marcelo and Mekline were trapped in the disaster area, even if they wanted to find it, they couldn't find it, but the New Delhi officials were very good, and it took less than a day to determine that another "American" helicopter had crashed, and the reason given by the New Delhi officials was pilot error.

In other words, New Delhi does not admit that there is any problem with its own helicopters, only bad pilots, and no bad domestic aircraft.

As a result, when New Delhi officials were talking about the achievements of the country's aviation industry, the Dornier-228, which was responsible for the rescue a few days ago, suddenly crashed on the way to the town of Rugel after being refitted, killing all eight people, including a German engineer.

A day later, another modified Dornier-228 suddenly lost control and taxied off the runway during takeoff, killing two crew members and injuring four.

Add to this the crash of a MiG-23 three days ago, and in just four days, a total of five aircraft were lost.

Almost one more than one plane a day, this probability is higher than the typhoon blowing in the Indian Ocean, no matter how typhoon there is no day.

At this time, New Delhi officials could not say that there was nothing wrong with their own aircraft, but they changed their tune and began to criticize the original design of these planes as problematic and had nothing to do with their own production.

As a result, as soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to putting a map cannon, the original design of the "American Ostrich" helicopter was given by France; Dornier-228 is from Germany, and the MiG-23 is from the Soviet Union, good guys, there are problems with the aircraft design of the three countries, and you are the best ~~ in New Delhi?

As a result, the media of the three countries and the media of New Delhi were engaged in all kinds of pen battles and sprayed each other on the matter of the crashed plane, and the result was that New Delhi was sprayed all over the body.

In addition, the three countries are not much better, and the reputation of the three models has plummeted.
