However, after the initial excitement, Wang Dazhi also immediately realized one thing: if what the correspondent of the 338th Aviation Regiment of the former Soviet Union said was true, these planes were only used for about a year, but counting the time, these planes were also produced around 1995, that is, from the factory to the present, these planes are almost 9 years old.

You must know that the aircraft are designed with a service life, usually in the unit of "XXXXX take-off and landing sorties/XX years", and like the maintenance of the car, it is based on the first arrival, so take these Il-76 of the 338 Air Regiment as an example, although these aircraft have only been used for less than a year, I am afraid that there are not 400 take-off and landing sorties, but the fuselage life is solid and used up for 9 years.

The nine-year fuselage life is actually secondary, and what worries Wang Dazhi the most is the state of these aircraft.

Although Ralph said it well, saying that these planes have been sealed before, but Wang Dazhi is not the first time to come to Ukraine, and he is not unaware of the situation in Ukraine, so he is actually quite skeptical about the "sealing" in Ralph's mouth, you know, the storage of aircraft is very particular, first of all, in the choice of location, we should try to choose those areas with drought and little rain, why did the Millikans choose their "aircraft cemetery" in Tucson, Arizona? It is because Arizona is located in the interior of the arid and rainless desert of Millikan, where there is not only drought and little rain, but may even not rain for several years, which provides natural open-air storage conditions for mothballed aircraft - after all, rain is also corrosive, and obviously, Zaporizhzhia City, the capital of Zaporizhzhia Oblast of Ukraine, is not a desert with drought and little rain.

The choice of location is only one of them, the most important thing is the technical treatment required for the storage of aircraft, or take the "aircraft cemetery" in Milican as an example, the aircraft stored in the "aircraft cemetery" in Milican are divided into four categories, namely short-term storage, long-term storage, spare parts supply and surplus destruction.

There is not much to say about the spare parts supply type and the surplus destruction type, everyone knows at a glance that the first is to dismantle spare parts, and use the spare parts removed from these aircraft to supply the same type of aircraft in use; the second type of surplus destruction type of aircraft is simpler, that is, to dismantle and sell iron...... Scrap aluminum, in addition, a considerable part of the surplus destroyed aircraft comes from the kind that has been dismantled with spare parts.

For short-term storage and long-term storage aircraft, some special measures are required, such as draining all the oil and water, sealing all the inspection port covers and engine intake and exhaust ports, and even covering the cockpit cover with special materials to protect the cockpit cover.

But this is Milliken's treatment of mothballed aircraft, Wang Dazhi doesn't think that even the more than 20 million US dollars for the dismantling of the Tu-160 bomber, which requires the payment of the United States, will carry out such a fine treatment of this batch of Il-76s, let alone release oil and water, he even doubts whether the Ukrainian military has blocked the engine air intakes of these Il-76s, if even these basic storage methods are not used, then the overall state of this batch of Il-76s ......

"Igor, when your 338th Regiment sealed these planes, did you carry out the necessary technical processing of the planes?" Wang Dazhi asked Igor Kowalsky with a little expectation.

"This ......" Igor Kowalsky had a difficult face: "Sir, when I left the 338th regiment, the Il-76 in the regiment was still in normal use, so I don't know ...... very well"

Wang Dazhi's heart was sinking, but he still asked Anton, "Mr. Anton, do you know?"

Anton also lowered his head: "I don't know very well either......"

As the former captain of the Il-76 transport plane, Anton certainly knows very well how bad the overall state of an Il-76 transport plane that has undergone complete mothballing technology will be after seven or eight years of wind and rain.

"Anyway, let's go and see first. ”

Wang Dazhi sighed: With the current situation of the Ermao family, it is difficult for them to expect them to have an Il-76 in such a good state.

........................

After finalizing his crew, Wang Dazhi quickly got in touch with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Originally, Wang Dazhi thought that although George Jr. and Chen Geng had greeted the Ukrainian side, in actual operation, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense should still not be very easy to deal with, but the actual situation greatly surprised Wang Dazhi, because Wang Dazhi got in touch with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense through Ambassador Wang, so the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense confirmed Wang Dazhi's identity at the first time and showed great enthusiasm.

How enthusiastic is that?

In order to welcome Wang Dazhi's arrival, the Ukrainian Defense Minister even personally came forward to hold a huge welcome dinner for Wang Dazhi.

If this is nothing, then in the next dinner, the performance of the officials of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is what makes Wang Dazhi cry and laugh: the senior military officials of Ukraine have repeatedly confirmed to Wang Dazhi whether his boss is Chen Geng, and they have shown great envy for Wang Dazhi to be able to work for Chen Geng......

Wang Dazhi is not stupid, he knows how to make good use of his advantages......

"Yes, the boss of our COMAC Group is Mr. Fernandez," Wang Dazhi held his wine glass, looked at the Ukrainians around him who pricked up their ears and stopped talking, he smiled secretly in his heart: "That was almost 20 years ago, Mr. Fernandez was not the richest man in the world at that time, if I remember correctly, it seems that he had not yet entered the Money 100 in the list of the '500 richest people in the United States' launched by Fortune magazine in the United States, and he was ...... at that time."

Wang Dazhi blew the sky wildly, and the eyes of a group of Ukrainian buns were straight when they listened: If according to this Mr. Wang, then he is not the henchman of Mr. Fernández Chen's henchman, the hard......core of the iron? It's so enviable......

"Sir, why didn't you immigrate to Millican?" Finally, someone couldn't help it, and shouted loudly to Wang Dazhi: "Millican is the stage of the world, with Mr. Fernandez's trust and respect for you, if you want to immigrate to Millican, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

As soon as this question came out, the eyes of all the Ukrainians at the banquet fell on Wang Dazhi, for many Ukrainians, immigrating to Milican is the biggest dream of their lives.
