Chapter 173: The Beginning of the True Air Battle, Ma Wei's Pride (Add 15 to the Hjz666 Alliance Leader)
Helicopters, as expected, are not something that ordinary people can sit on. Especially in the cab, the scenery ahead is unobstructed, and the height of more than 4,000 meters makes people with fear of heights look desperate......
After a brief breath, Ma Wei began his own work, introducing military products to the guests, "Mr. Shen Hongshen, this is our Sukhoi Design Bureau, and all the Soviet-style fighters in Russia are from this design bureau. ”
Ma Wei took the officers of the Chinese Air Force to visit the Sukhoi Design Bureau. And also asked Russian aircraft designers to answer some of their questions.
The whole process lasted more than two hours. Until everyone had no other questions, Ma Wei clapped his hands and said to the air force officers, "Mr. Shen Hongshen, if there is no doubt, we, the Russian Air Force, have specially prepared a live-fire exercise in order to welcome you here. I wonder if you're interested, let's go watch it together?"
The air force exercise that Ma Wei prepared this time was not the kind of ordinary fighter jet bombing tank that entertained the Malaysian Air Force last time. The scene he made this time was something that even he was looking forward to.
"Live-fire exercises? Yes, Mr. Mavey. Shen Hongshen said with great interest.
"Okay, then please follow me. Ma Wei said, then turned around and led the group to leave the aircraft design bureau. Came to the tarmac where the Mi-26 landed just now.
On the tarmac at this time, a Mi-26 helicopter that looked a little different was parked. It has a cabin section with more explosion-proof windows. In a way, it's more like a helicopter for sightseeing.
Shen Hongshen, who saw this situation, and all the air force officers suddenly looked at Ma Wei with some confusion. I don't know what he's up to...... Generally looking at military exercises, shouldn't you go to the Air Force command center...... Since you went to the command center, why change to another helicopter......
"Mr. Mavi, you brought us here ......"
However, just when everyone was a little confused about the situation, they saw Ma Wei, who was standing in front of him, said lightly, "Everyone, this is the case, the air force live-fire exercise will be carried out in a no-man's land 100 kilometers away. And several unmanned fighters will also be used as target aircraft for our Russian Air Force to simulate real air battles. ”
"Therefore, in order to better watch the actual combat scene, I specially modified this Mi-26 so that it can better carry everyone and observe the scene...... In terms of safety, please don't worry, there will be several military helicopters in the vicinity to keep you safe while watching the exercise...... If necessary, they will do their best to ......"
The Mi-26 helicopter modified by Mawei has undergone special explosion-proof treatment. Unless he is hit head-on by a missile, ordinary bullets, or shrapnel, do not pose a danger to him, so the safety factor is higher.
His voice just fell. I only saw Shen Hongshen standing beside him, as well as more than 30 officers of the Chinese Air Force, who were stunned for a moment, and looked at him again!
"Using an unmanned fighter as a target aircraft for actual combat exercises? This is too extravagant, isn't it!?"
"The Russian Air Force is too strong! How much will it cost to spend this exercise?"
……
To put it bluntly, a military exercise is a waste of money, a bullet, a shell, all of them are money-burning things. Many countries are willing to use ammunition that is about to expire for military exercises.
Moreover, if live ammunition is to be used in ordinary air force exercises, it is often just carpet bombing, or rockets and missiles are launched to destroy strategic targets in the field.
But what Ma Wei did this time was very different! People directly threw money at the unmanned fighter plane. That scene was like a real air battle, and it was a thief who couldn't see it in peacetime......
Facing the surprised gazes of the air force generals, Ma Wei looked at his nose and nose with a calm expression. As if he was just a basic operation, nothing remarkable.
"Mr. Ma Wei, did you Russian Air Force deliberately get an unmanned fighter target aircraft to welcome our arrival? Or do you use this kind of military training in peacetime?" Shen Hongshen asked Ma Wei seriously.
Unmanned fighters, that's very expensive. There are simply not a few countries in the world that dare to do this in the exercises.
"Half and half. Ma Wei said without answering directly. He is embarrassed to pretend to be too much in front of his compatriots in the Chinese Air Force. said that this air force exercise was made by him with money. It doesn't cost much, just tens of millions of dollars!
According to the external price of the unmanned fighter, the price of one is 19 million US dollars. The actual cost of Ma Wei is 1.5 million US dollars (he has shares in two major design bureaus, and it will not cost a few dollars).
Hearing Ma Wei's answer so implicitly, Shen Hongshen didn't ask any more questions. I saw him nod to Ma Wei, and then followed everyone into the Mi-26 cabin. And came to the wheelhouse, waiting for the helicopter to take off.
The modified Mi-26 helicopter has a much wider field of view. This makes Ma Wei feel like watching an immersive special effects blockbuster when he sits inside. It's very exciting.
Ten minutes later, the Mi-26 helicopter took off from the tarmac with a roar. Then soared into the blue sky, and soon carried everyone to the uninhabited mountainous area 100 kilometers away. Take a closer look at the upcoming live-fire air battles later.
The sound of helicopter propellers, whistling overhead. Ma Wei and Shen Hongshen and others were in the cabin, waiting for about 15 minutes. I saw that on the mountain to their right, three army-green unmanned fighters flew in an instant!
Its model is the Sukhoi Design Bureau, designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau, Su-27 fighter.
These three unmanned fighters dived down in the air for a while, accelerated and pulled up for a while, and changed direction left and right. In order to simulate the fierce scene of air combat to the greatest extent.
And behind the three UAVs, closely followed by two Su-37 fighters, nicknamed the Terminator. is a fourth-generation fighter of Russian production. The combat effectiveness is very strong, and it made its first flight in April of the year before last.
Since the appearance of these five fighters, Ma Wei, who stayed in the Mi-26 cabin, as well as Shen Hongshen and others, immediately watched them chase them in the air with close attention.
Relatively safe due to the distance aspect. Ma Wei and the others don't have to worry, when the Russian pilots are concerned, a missile fired crookedly and hit them...... Otherwise, it would be a major accident...... Even if the surrounding helicopters help them block the missiles, the consequences will be unimaginable......
Five fighters, chasing from one end of the mountain to the other. Soon it was necessary to enter the area of the exercises, and it was allowed to open fire.
Minutes and seconds passed, when about half a minute had passed. Ma Wei saw the three unmanned fighters flying in front, one stretched and flew higher in the sky!
