"I don't know about the gunship? Xie Kai was stunned for a moment by this sudden change of topic.

He didn't know what the situation was.

Liao Dong hasn't gone back yet, and he doesn't know when Liao Dong will make a move.

If the river crab mercenary group can't steal this helicopter, it will have to be blown up at that time, so as not to cheapen the United States.

Although the United States also paid a lot of money for this helicopter, it was blackmailed by a poor country like Chad, not only paid a fee of 2 million dollars, but also gave a ship of FIM-92 "Stinger" shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.

The Americans can pay such a big price, and they will certainly not be left without arranging personnel to watch.

After all, if you want to get a Mi-24 gunship, you have to thoroughly understand the combat performance of this kind of Soviet gunship equipped with thousands of helicopters, and there will be no store after this village.

"In a hurry?" Xie Kai asked the two of them.

Before returning to the base, he did not go to understand the specific situation of the helicopter, from the beginning, although the Z-7 team was taken over by 404, it has always been a situation where grandma does not hurt and uncle does not love.

So far, there has been no creation of a fully professional army aviation unit in the country.

Only when the Gulf War breaks out and the whole world shuddes after realizing the Americans' sharp combat mode supported by information technology will China's thinking on army building change in China.

Even now, because of the strength of the Soviet Army, the domestic military wants to build a torrent of steel like the Soviet Union.

Therefore, even if you know that the performance of the 59 tank is backward, you have to produce a batch of equipment troops every year and slowly accumulate your family. It's similar to the idea of stupid Damu, a lot of tanks were consumed in the war, and the purchase of advanced ones could not afford money, so the purchase of tanks like 59 was solved by quantity.

How do they know that in the future three-dimensional combat battlefield and the ability to perceive the battlefield with a high situation, the war will no longer rely on numbers to win or defeat or turn the tide of the war.

"The Special Operations Brigade is applying for helicopter gunships...... The Z-8 is simply not capable of installing numerous anti-tank and ground fire support land weapon systems......" Wang Guilin gave a briefing on the situation.

Xie Kai frowned.

The Z-8 was originally a multi-purpose transport helicopter, and the introduction of the French Super Wasp was initially used as a carrier-based aircraft, with some anti-submarine equipment added at most.

"China didn't introduce the French SA-365N Dolphin helicopter before, that can be changed to an armed helicopter. Xie Kai said.

China has introduced a lot of equipment from Western countries, and the Z-9 is the patent for the introduction of the French Dolphin helicopter, but it does not seem to have really become a domestic armed helicopter.

The truly powerful armed helicopter will have to wait until the 21st century later, when the Wuzhi-10, a armed helicopter independently designed and developed by Chinese experts, appears.

Buying from abroad?

Don't even want to buy advanced defense equipment.

National defense, that can't be bought.

"That's not good, and it hasn't been localized yet. At present, the fourth stage has not been completed, the French side provides the tail beam, vertical tail, side vertical tail, horizontal stabilizer and transmission system and some raw materials excluding the main shaft and tail drive shaft, and the rest is completed by our own country, which has not been completed until now. The core spindle is processed in our precision machining workshop......" Wang Guilin shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The French don't really want to help us, and a lot of technical information is not included in the technology transfer......

"You can find them. Xie Kai was speechless.

It is no wonder that the production of the Z-8 and Z-9 was not very high before the 21st century, and only a few dozen aircraft were produced in total.

So much so that the country even imported helicopters like the Mi-171 from Russia.

It was not until the later Z-20 appeared.

Domestic production is still more reliable, although the technology is not as advanced as the most advanced abroad.

"It's useful to find them? Do you remember when you cheated Pakistan for the use of technology? We lack basic technology, and they will definitely not provide it. It's like they provide materials, but they don't provide tools for processing these materials, and they won't give us craftsmanship ......" Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai, and the bitterness on his face was even worse.

Xie Kai can use such means to pit Pakistan, which has no technical foundation, and he can't blame the French for using the same means to pit China.

If you don't have a technical foundation, you can't complain about others.

Xie Kai was stunned.

He really didn't think of such a question.

The more I learned the truth of the matter, the more I felt that these things were difficult to solve by manpower.

When encountering such a situation, you can either give money to buy basic technology and accumulate experience by yourself, or you can only invest more manpower, material and financial resources to research and slowly accumulate experience by yourself.

"What do you think?"

"We'll do it ourselves. Anyway, we don't have a general-purpose helicopter in our country, if we really get it out, when the time comes, we will use it as a prototype, and the domestic troops don't want it, they can export it, and they won't lose too much anyway. "Zheng Yucheng is now very concerned about foreign sales.

The domestic troops are poor, the prices are low, the profits are thin, and it is not good if they are not sold.

Specializing in exports, how good.

To earn foreign exchange, people don't give enough money, so they don't sell.

"So, we need that Mi-25, you ask your brother-in-law to work hard over there and see if you can get the information. Wang Guilin was also very tempted by this. "Not to mention anything else, as long as it is done, Pakistan will buy a lot of it. ”

"......" Xie Kai was a little speechless.

Now we are talking about loans to sell weapons and equipment to Tanzania, and these two old guys are not serious at all, and they are very crooked.

"So, you have to get that helicopter back as soon as possible," Zheng Yucheng continued......, "We are based on the Z-6 and Z-7, and with the Mi-25, a product of the Miri Design Bureau modified from the Mi-24, we can quickly level the gap with the Soviet Union in this regard." ”

Both the Z-6 and Z-7 were designed on the basis of the Z-5, although they were not equipped with troops in the end because of their technical foundation.

However, these two projects have been carried out for more than 20 years, and China has gained a lot of experience and technology.

And 545 Z-5s were produced in China, which was copied from the Mi-4, an early product of the Soviet Miri Design Bureau.

The Mi-24 is also a product of the Miri Design Bureau.

Before the appearance of the Mi-24, the Miri Design Bureau had been engaged in the design of special transport helicopters.

Therefore, the Mi-24 armed helicopter is the helicopter design and development direction that China needs to understand.

"Do you really want to engage in helicopter gunships?" Xie Kai was a little unsure.

In the area of helicopters, the domestic technical reserves are too small, even with the design and research experience of the Z-6 and Z-7, the gap with the international is very large.

Otherwise, there are really useful helicopters in China, and they will not wait for the Wuzhi-10 and the general-purpose Zhi-20 behind them to appear.

That's decades.

He understood the characteristics of this era and clearly knew that the inability to make a breakthrough in technology was not due to the lack of efforts of national defense science and technology workers, but the inability to make up for it.

"it. Now that we don't have any new things, we can't just sell those three things in the future, right?" Zheng Yucheng said with a worried face.

The base now exports the largest number of 359 tanks, ground red flags, and avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles.

And the number of exports is unimaginable.

If you don't have something new, you can't get new customers.

Helicopter gunships are the most effective for countering armored clusters.

"Okay, I'll urge. Xie Kai was speechless.

Anyway, it's not bad for money now, even if you can't get it, at least you can let Wuzhi-10 and Zhi-20 come out earlier.

"And your brother-in-law. ”

"Ukraine doesn't produce helicopters on its side. They produce only high-power engines used in helicopters. Xie Kai said with a roll of his eyes.

You can't expect anything to come from Ukraine, can you?

I hadn't thought about getting a helicopter from the Soviet Union or anything before, Xie Kai had always focused on the manufacturing technology of fighter jets, large planes and aircraft carriers, even if the tank was the king of land warfare, he was also staring.

You know, he even wants to get a tank engine factory in Ukraine.

I didn't think about helicopters or anything.

It's not that Xie Kai couldn't think of it, but he never paid attention to this thing.

In addition, the base usually does not pay attention to it, it turns out that 404 does not have an airport runway, and when you need to take the Z-5 to a nearby military airport for transfer, Xie Kai hates the bad riding experience of the Z-5, but he still thinks about it.

Later, the special operations brigade next to the base was replaced by the Black Hawk, and the airfield of the base was built again, so naturally there was no need to take a helicopter transfer, and I didn't think about it at all.

Who would have thought that the river crab mercenary group wanted to take helicopter gunships, and the research progress of helicopters in China was not very satisfactory.

"They don't have a helicopter production plant?"

"Where there is. Soviet warplanes and helicopters were all placed in Russia......" Xie Kai was also speechless.

Most of Lao Maozi's industrial base was established in Russia, the headquarters of the Soviet Union.

Otherwise, the Soviet Union would not have collapsed for decades, and Lao Maozi would still be able to survive by selling the Soviet legacy.

"So, we have to get that Mi-25?" Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

Wang Guilin nodded in support of his opinion, "Let's get it back, let's draw the drawings first, and then disassemble them, and gradually improve the assembly." ”

"I'm talking about the two of you, shouldn't we get down to business? Aren't you talking about lending money to Africa so that they can have money to purchase our weapons and equipment?" Xie Kai was a little speechless.

Do two old guys have such an eye for helicopter gunships?

There are no orders, it costs a lot of money, and you have to do a lot of supporting work, Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin are so active in such a thing, which is completely inconsistent with their style.

Looking at the two old guys nodding, Xie Kai asked, "Is it necessary to form a special attack helicopter unit in China?"

Maybe they got the news that a special helicopter gunship team should be formed in the country?

Isn't straight-9 more appropriate?
