Wang Dazhi, who returned to the ice city, didn't know that after he left the capital, his legends were still circulating in the capital, such as the editors of "Weapon Knowledge", "Ship Knowledge", and "Aviation Knowledge", which were regarded as the three major artifacts by military enthusiasts, were discussing Wang Dazhi, Shangfei and their Z-10 ......

"I heard from a friend of the 38th Army Army Aviation Regiment that the COMAC Group is really a bull X, they just made a Wuzhi-9 professional armed helicopter on the basis of the Z-9 aircraft, I heard that the performance of this Wuzhi-9 is more powerful than the early 'Cobra', it is really ......."

Reporter Wang, who spoke, kept shaking his head with emotion.

But someone next to him immediately disagreed with reporter Wang's words: "With the small body of the Z-9, can you make an armed helicopter?" I think that the Z-9G is the end of the day, and it is still a professional armed helicopter, and it is comparable to the early 'Cobra', which is too much, right?"

"Yes, yes," the reporters on the side immediately echoed: "Lao Wang, what you said is also outrageous, we haven't reported on the Z-9 and the 'Super Cobra', ordinary military fans don't know how big the gap between the Z-9 and the 'Super Cobra' is, we can feel like a mirror." ”

"Just the weak foundation of the Z-9, and a professional helicopter gunship?"

…………

Everyone mocked Lao Wang without malice.

It's not that everyone deliberately mocks Lao Wang, in fact, as the most professional military media reporters in China, you here can be said to be the most understanding of the current situation of the domestic military industry and military equipment, and also the group of people who know the most about the gap between Chinese and foreign military forces.

For example, the 212 jeep, if you remove the roof and the back seat, you can barely pull three or five hundred pounds of goods, but if you can pull it again, can you compare to the big red rock?

But Lao Wang was not happy, he retorted loudly: "You guys, what do you know, let me tell you, although the Wuzhi-9 is the foundation of the Zhi-9, but this aircraft is different from the previous Zhi-9, his overall layout and 'Apache', 'Super Cobra', European 'Tiger' these professional armed helicopters are no different, no longer the original transport helicopter looks, has become a low front and high back, front and rear tandem two-seat typical special gunship cockpit layout. ”

"Really?!"

Hearing what Lao Wang said, everyone immediately became calm: Could it be that there was really something going on? Having said that, if it wasn't really true, how could Lao Wang have said it so well? In other words, did COMAC really quietly build the first special armed helicopter in the real sense of the word in China?

it!

If this is the case, then COMAC is a big deal.

"Then can there be a fake?" Reporter Wang finally raised his eyebrows: "Let me tell you, according to the information I have gotten, the Wuzhi-9 not only has the standard front low and rear high, front and rear tandem two-seat layout, but also has the same short wings on both sides of the fuselage as the special armed helicopter, and fully absorbs the design characteristics and lessons of the special armed helicopters such as 'Apache', 'Cobra' and 'Tiger' when designing, and lengthens the short wing, which can provide about 22% for the aircraft when flying at high speed can be unloaded for the rotors.

The two hardpoints on the outside can be mounted on a quadruple basis for eight Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missiles, and the two hardpoints on the inside can be equipped with two 57mm or 90mm aviation rocket nests, and there is also a 23mm cannon ...... in the nose.

Speaking of this, reporter Wang patted his head: "By the way, the buddy of the 38th Army Army Aviation Regiment I know said that the wingtips of the wings on both sides of the Wuzhi-9 can also be mounted with a Thunderbolt-8 short-range air-to-air combat missile, that is to say, the Wuzhi-9 has the ability to oppose helicopters and anti-fighters, but because the Thunderbolt-8 is too heavy, one is more than 100 kilograms, and the power of the vortex-8A is limited, so it will not be mounted under normal circumstances, but my friend also said that COMAC is helping Lanxiang Factory improve the engine......”

Everyone's eyes straightened when they listened: Is it really fake? Can this Wuzhi-9 still be hung on the Thunderbolt-8?

As the most professional military media reporter in China, everyone knows too well about the Thunderbolt-8 short-range air-to-air combat missile, and as the domestic version of Israel's "Strange Snake" short-range air-to-air combat missile, the Thunderbolt-8 can be said to be the short-range air-to-air missile with the smallest technological gap between China's most advanced domestic and the world's most advanced short-range air-to-air combat missile.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all think this thing is more unbelievable: some time ago, we were still discussing that we are still far behind the world in terms of professional armed helicopters, and we will catch up in the blink of an eye?

In the midst of the surprise, someone suddenly whispered: "Some time ago, didn't Wang Dazhi, the general manager of COMAC, come to Beijing, could it be just for this?"

It's possible!

Hearing this, this idea suddenly popped up in everyone's minds: Wang Dazhi's coming to Beijing may really be related to Wuzhi 9.

"That's not right," someone immediately objected: "I heard that Wang Dazhi came to Beijing for the Z-10 plane." ”

Well?

Hearing this, the reporters were suddenly at a loss, and felt that their brains were a little insufficient: this is Wuzhi-9 again, and Zhi-10 again, what is the situation?

Someone muttered: "Could it be that their COMAC has developed a new aircraft?"

"That's impossible!" As soon as these words fell, someone immediately retorted: "Our country does not have the number of 'Wuzhi', I think 'Wuzhi-9' may be the internal number of the manufacturer of the armed helicopter, and 'Zhi-10' is the official number." ”

Someone next to him immediately answered and made a suggestion: "Or, let's just apply to the editor-in-chief and go to COMAC for an interview, anyway, whether it's Wuzhi-9 or Zhi-10, it's all from their COMAC Group anyway, let's go and figure everything out?"

That's right!

Everyone immediately reacted: no matter what the relationship between this Wuzhi-9 and Zhi-10 is, don't you understand everything if you go directly to COMAC for an interview?

As for whether this interview request will be approved, what does it have to do with us? What we have to do seriously is to make an interview request, and as for whether or not to agree, that is not a question that we need to consider.

When reporter Wang heard this, he was also moved: Yes, you can ask the editor-in-chief if you can interview this Wuzhi-9.
