Chapter 659: Life is Tossed to Death
Of course, despite the roar in his heart, Zarif still pretended to be stable on his face, watching the deployment of troops in the distance, artillery targeting, armored advances, and infantry coordination......
In fact, the heart had already flown away with the Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft.
Because for Pakistan, the Y-15 is excellent, but the flexibility is poor, after all, the 14.3-meter-long, 3.2-meter-wide, and 2.1-meter-high cargo compartment seems to have a large volume, but it is limited to height, in fact, many weapons cannot be carried, at most it can only carry some light vehicles, and towed artillery.
The rest can only transport some light infantry or paratroopers, and the overall effectiveness is not outstanding.
The Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft is different, although the length of the cargo compartment is only 9.5 meters, which is nearly 5 meters shorter than that of the Y-15, but the height of the cargo compartment reaches 2.6 meters.
But in terms of numbers, the height of 2.6 meters is not much higher than the 2.1 meters of Yun 15, only 0.5 meters.
However, this mere 0.5-meter increase has already covered the height of the vast majority of light armored vehicles in the world today.
For example, the American-made M113 armored transport vehicle commonly equipped in Pakistan has a vehicle height of 2.5 meters and a total combat weight of no more than 10 tons, which can be easily carried by the Y-15plus light transport aircraft.
There are also Type 63 armored transport vehicles and Type 85 armored vehicles purchased by Pakistan from China, which are both below 2.6 meters in height and maintain their own weight at about 13 tons, which are all within the range that the Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft can withstand.
Not to mention the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle in the Soviet Union, the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle unloaded by the Y-15plus light transport aircraft just now was copied from the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle.
Not to mention other wheeled vehicles, the Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft can be easily promoted.
Even in some emergencies, transporting an entire helicopter is not a problem.
Pakistan is equipped with American-made Bell 206 helicopters, if the foot rotor and rear rotor are removed, the size fully meets the cargo requirements of the 15PLUS light transport aircraft, plus the Bell 206 helicopter itself is a light helicopter, even if the model of Pakistan's equipment has been armed and modified, its weight is less than two tons, and a Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft can easily transport it to any place where the Pakistani military needs it and do forward deployment.
There is no need to mobilize such helicopters as they are now, and they can only depart slowly from the station and go through two or three transitions to reach the deployment site.
All in all, Zarif feels that the Y-15plus light transport aircraft is a high-performance general-purpose transport aircraft no less than the American-made C-130, although its carrying capacity is not as large as the C-130, but the flexibility is not much worse than the C-130.
More importantly, the Y-15plus light transport aircraft is produced in China, and the cost performance is definitely much higher than the C-130 of the Americans, and from this aspect, the operating cost of several Y-15plus light transport aircraft can be worth the operating expenses of a C-130.
The capacity of the two Y-15plus light transport aircraft can catch up with the C-130, and the carrying capacity of several together will be much greater than that of C-130.
And whether it is an armored vehicle, a helicopter, a large-sized cargo or even a person with the same size as the C-130, it is natural to choose a more cost-effective aircraft.
After all, the army also has to eat and live, and money is also not blown by the wind, of course, it can be saved.
So Zarif is old to the 15plus light transport plane~~~ Demon Flower Girl, that's called a hot and unbearable, I can't wait to grab it back in the next second...... Phew~~ It's a test drive!
Zarif was satisfied with the Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft, and Zheng Quanli, who came to the exercise site with the No. 03 Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft, had nothing to say, whether it was performance, comfort or range, Lao Zheng was satisfied, but not satisfied.
What's more, with the Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft, their airborne troops are no longer a light infantry, but a shotgun for artillery, and they can also put a layer of armor on their own.
Although it is only light armor, it is still a few levels worse than those heavy troops with tanks, but some are better than nothing.
Not to mention anything else, since their airborne troops received four Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft from the Tengfei Group, in less than half a year, their airborne troops have almost swept through several battalion-scale exercises.
Of course, nothing can be Jedi, Zheng Quanli is satisfied, and naturally there is something unsatisfactory, that is, the quantity, there are only four Yun-15plus light transport aircraft at full capacity, and only four Type 86 can be transported in one sortie, and multiple sorties can compact the armored force.
It's okay in peacetime, but in wartime, how can you have time to grind the sorties slowly, of course, it's good to arrive all at once.
So when Zheng Quanli arrived, he ordered the troops to launch and conduct exercises according to the prior plan, and then handed over the command to the chief of staff, and he came to Xue Weidong: "Old Xue, you also saw that the Y-15PLUS light transport aircraft is really good, you are familiar with the headquarters, and when you go back, you can talk to the chiefs, return the six Y-15s, and replace them all with Y-15plus light transport planes." ”
"Wouldn't it be better for you to go directly to Lao Zhuang and say this? Aren't you two brothers-in-law?" Xue Weidong glanced at Zheng Quanli, at this moment, all sixteen planes had arrived and returned safely, and his hanging heart was finally put down, and he was in the mood to ridicule.
Over the years, there have been more people who ridiculed Zheng Quanli about Zhuang Jianye being a brother-in-law, Zheng Quanli took this as nonsense, and waved his hand with a smile: "One yard is one yard, that guy in Lao Zhuang has a lot of eyes, I'm afraid I can't play him, so please ask you to find the chief to press it." ”
"If the chief can suppress it, do you think it can make this mess of stew?" Xue Weidong didn't ridicule this time, but his tone was how helpless and helpless he was.
In fact, not only Xue Weidong, but also the people in the Air Force who participated in the advanced light transportation platform of the Tengfei Group, one is counted as one, and they are all the same as Xue Weidong, who was made by the Tengfei Group to cry without tears and was very helpless.
I thought that the seedling of Tengfei Group's advanced light transportation platform could grow into a straight and straight sorghum, but Zhuang Jianye didn't know what seeds to get and what fertilizer was applied, and what sorghum grew out, but a tree.
It's okay if it's a tree, as long as it can blossom and bear fruit, it doesn't matter if the air force is up and down, anyway, the black cat and the white cat catch the mouse It's a good cat, the process is not important, as long as the result is good, then it's no problem.
The results are good, not to mention the varieties of advanced light transportation platforms, there are still branches emerging one after another, and the growth of each branch is not ordinary fast, and it is about to blossom and bear fruit before others react.
Now the Air Force is confused, I want a light transport plane, what are you giving me?
Upper single-wing turbo-propeller, upper single-wing turbofan, lower single-wing turbofan, lower single-wing plus enhanced turbofan, I drop a good girl, Tengfei Group's technical fertility is not clear, is it still infected to the development of aircraft?
Or don't be born, or be tossed to death when you are born?
