Chapter 658: Yun 15 plus
In fact, no one deliberately made a sound, and everyone present saw the strange plane that broke through the clouds and landed slowly.
It is different from the old and improved An-26 that has left one after another, and it is also very different from the previous Y-15 that shocked military observers of various countries.
The new model is clearly completely new, and if nothing else, the two turbofan engines under the wings give a sense of eye-catching.
You must know that in today's world, there are very few light transport aircraft that use turbofan engines, except for the C-1 transport aircraft that Japan claims to be "independently developed", there is almost no second similar model.
It is certain that the type of aircraft that is slowly landing must be a new type of transport aircraft equipped by the Chinese military.
But it's not always unfamiliar, because there are too many shadows of the Y-15 on the new plane, such as the nose fairing and the cockpit windshield layout carved out of a mold.
There's also the characteristic central wing box that bulges from above the cockpit and extends all the way to the tail of the fuselage, as well as the wide swept wings and tall T-shaped vertical tail.
All show that the genes of the Yun-15 flow in the bloodline of this aircraft.
But these can only be said to be similar to the Y-15, because the entire fuselage section is obviously thicker and rounder than the Y-15, and the length is significantly shorter than the Y-15, plus the two turbofan engines under the wing, it can be said that the Y-15 has a kind of soaring-like detachment.
So much so that everyone present was a little fascinated when they looked at the new transport plane that was landing, even Singer, who was a little vigilant in his heart.
At this moment, the on-site commentary broadcast sounded again: "Ladies and gentlemen, the plane that has just landed is a Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft equipped by our army, with a maximum take-off weight of 32.6 tons, 17 tons in the air, and a maximum load of 14 tons.
The range is up to 2,200 km with a 14-ton load, 3,600 km with a 10-ton load, and up to 4,500 km with a 6-ton load.
The aircraft is 24.6 meters long, 9.8 meters high, with a wingspan of 30.6 meters, the cargo compartment is 9.5 meters long, 3.2 meters wide and 2.6 meters high, equipped with two WD-48SM turbofan engines, a single maximum thrust of 3800 kg, and two engines can provide more than 7.5 tons of thrust, so the Y-15plus light transport aircraft has strong adaptability. ”
As if to confirm the broadcaster's remarks, the Y-15plus light transport plane that landed on the Gobi Plateau had just stopped, and the hatch under the T-shaped vertical tail slowly opened, and the hatch pedal at the tail was lowered, followed by the roar of a diesel engine, and then under the stunned gaze of many military observers, an Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle slowly drove out of the cabin along the pedal.
This scene directly stunned the military observers of those foreign armies.
Armored infantry fighting vehicles were driven out of light transport aircraft!
What does this mean?
The loading capacity of the Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft in front of you is not ordinarily strong, although the maximum load is only 14 tons, but this load has covered most of the light armored vehicles, plus its 2.6 meters high, 3.2 meters wide, 9.5 meters long cargo compartment setting, general towed artillery, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles and other combat vehicles can be easily accommodated.
This is simply too important for an army.
Because this means that once a quick response is needed, with the help of the Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft, it is completely possible to transport troops and weapons to any designated location that you want to go in a short time.
Not to mention anything else, the unit in front of him, which is already a battalion-sized unit, will increase its attack power exponentially after receiving the blessing of the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle.
You must know that in this harsh plateau and mountain environment, this kind of light armored force is equivalent to a tank in the plain area, and it can be used as an armored force to carry out a surprise attack, tear apart the enemy's defense line, and cover the infantry to continue to advance in depth, so as to complete the effect of infantry and tank coordination.
Yes, the assembled battalion-sized troops in front of them are fully capable of doing it, because the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles that were transported were not one, but four.
They were flown in by four Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft.
Although the number is not much, for a battalion-level combat force of more than 300 people, equipped with four infantry fighting vehicles, six 105mm recoilless guns, and six 107mm rocket artillery, it is already a luxurious lineup in the harsh plateau and mountains at an altitude of 4,600 meters.
In contrast, New Delhi's border troops in the highlands, despite how brave they are touted by the media, are actually only small-caliber mortars in addition to automatic rifles and grenades.
Heavy firepower and armored forces can only be deployed in the second line due to their own mobility capabilities, plateau adaptability, logistics and other issues, so they have almost no ability to resist in the face of such an offensive with armored assault forces.
And this is only the result of one airlift of sixteen transport planes, what if it comes twice, three times, infinitely?
Singh, who was sitting on the observation platform, looked at the Y-15Plus light transport plane that immediately slid away after unloading the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle, and his old face with a dissatisfied beard finally showed an unconcealable fear.
Godopai next to him was not much better, holding the hand of the Nikon camera, a layer of cold sweat oozed out, only to hear the click, Godopai was stunned, looked down, his heart was almost broken, the SLR lens he spent all his money to buy was directly broken by him in fear.
Godopai wanted to cry without tears, he brought this camera to find some loopholes in the exercise, take a few pictures and go back to earn some extra money, which Cheng thought that he didn't shoot a single one, and was so frightened that he broke the lens, and Godopai swiped the screen in countless MMPs in his heart.
"It's good that it's bad or not, it doesn't mean that we don't want to introduce China's progress, but that our cameras are not of good quality and can't withstand the harsh climate of the plateau, and damn the Japanese, they always make their cameras so delicate. ”
Just when Godopai was distressed, Singh suddenly said such a sentence as if comforting, Godopai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, this is not to let himself report on this strategic projection exercise, Godopai is a little unwilling, but think about it, Singh's words are not unreasonable.
Is there something wrong with our New Delhi? No, under the protection of the sacred cow and the nourishment of the water of the Ganges, we are the most bullish existence, how can we make a certain country in East Asia compare with the past?
Impossible, impossible, so all this is fake, well, when I go back and drink two more buckets of Ganges water, I will be sober, and when the time comes, what Yun 15, what Yun 15plus light transport aircraft, will be trampled under the feet of the great Brahmin god.
Thinking of this, Godopaj, who was still depressed before, gradually grinned and showed a smile full of oracles, looking at Godopai who had realized the true meaning, Singh nodded with satisfaction, and also showed an oracle-like smile.
Unlike the self-hypnotized Singh and Godopai, Zarif from Pakistan is much more realistic, if the Yun 15 makes him excited but some do not reach the G point of the high ~~~ tide, then the appearance of the Yun 15plus light transport aircraft directly made him reach the peak of his life, completely high to the tide.
The surging almost tore open his chest and shouted: "I want ~~I want ~~ I want ~~~"
