Chapter 415: Wings of a Tiger
In fact, the Russian side is also aware of the seriousness of the problem.
On the basis of the Su-27, they developed the Su-30, hoping to correct the previous shortcomings.
We also imported a batch of Su-30 as a reference for the J-16.
However, the strange thing is that this Su-30 still has the problem of insufficient mechanical rigidity.
As with the Su-27. Its fuselage components are also prone to cracking.
From its birth to the present, the Su-30 has also fallen several times.
The most recent one was a crash over the Mediterranean Sea, where two pilots were tragically killed.
The explanation of the Russian side is that the bird was hit. But there are many doubts.
Due to the successive accidents of the Su-27 and Su-30, there is a certain shadow in the whole army.
In order to ensure safety, it will not be dispatched unless it is necessary for 120,000 times. In a way, this advanced fighter has become an ornament.
In a military exercise that was not very important, the Su-27 or Su-30 was supposed to be dispatched to participate, but the leaders of the troops were afraid that something would happen, and the last ones to be dispatched were the ancient Jian-7 and Jian-8. Caused the whole army to shake. Later, the top brass was furious. Many cadres of a certain division of the Air Force and a certain army have to write a review.
It is not for nothing that the J-20 became a star in the sky. At least, it is better in mechanical rigidity than the J-16. Meaning more intense action can be made. And the J-16, from its birth to the present, has been relatively low-key. The main thing is that I don't want to be the target of public criticism. Perhaps, it's also a little lacking in self-confidence, right?
"What's going on with Pei Lan?" asked Wang Buan.
She asked some pointed questions. The results were seen by Russian experts. It is believed that it has suffered serious slander. Putting pressure on us through various channels. "In order to avoid the situation from escalating, she applied for retirement herself." The turmoil was quelled. But this matter has never been conclusive. ”
"I see. ”
Wang Buan finally understood.
Why did Pei Lan retire as a purser.
It turned out that a sharp question was raised on the issue of the J-16, which made the Russian side uncomfortable.
The problem of the J-16 is, in fact, the problem of the Su-27 series.
The Su-27 fighter has a large number of derivative models, and it is also the most important export aircraft of the Russian side, and the Russian side must of course do its best to maintain its reputation.
A large number of such aircraft are exported. The countries of East Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia have a large amount of equipment.
Pei Lan believes that it is caused by the congenital design of the Su-27.
Of course, the Russian side cannot admit this.
If you rashly admit it, will you want to sell arms in the future?
In fact, Pei Lan is just a pilot. She's not a designer. She was not qualified to say that.
Two hours later, the transport plane landed at an airport in the northwest.
From the port of Cebu to the Great Northwest, it's two hours.
Xia Nan's flight speed can be imagined. Definitely above Mach 3.
There are already people waiting at the airport.
It was Pei Lan.
Her expression was a little sluggish, probably under a lot of pressure.
True, as a pilot, she was not qualified to comment on the design of the fighter. From that point of view, she was indeed wrong.
She apparently recognized her mistake herself. So he took the initiative to apply for retirement to calm the turmoil.
Russia's current attitude is a bit aggressive.
It seems that he wants to put all the responsibility on the Huaxia side.
"Purser, we meet again. ”
"Sorry ......"
"Why do you say that?"
"I've got you all involved. I'm causing you guys. ”
"It's fine. ”
Wang Bu'an smiled.
He was still a little in awe of Pei Lan.
After all, she's a fighter pilot. Huang Ruoxi is not as good as her.
How many female pilots are there in our Huaxia?
She's one of them!
That alone is enough to be proud of.
"You look at this first. Xia Nan handed Wang Bu'an a stack of information.
"Okay. Wang Buan took it.
But it was the news given by the Russian side, at X o'clock X Moscow time, a Russian Su-30SM fighter-bomber took off from the Khmeimim airbase, and had an accident in the process of climbing over the Mediterranean Sea. At present, the cause of the accident given by the Russian side is that the fighter plane hit a bird, and the bird was sucked in by the engine, making it difficult for the fighter to control it. At the same time, the Su-30 did not receive any fire during the entire process.
The information is complete. Justified. It seems that there is nothing to question.
However, everyone knows that things can't be that simple.
The Su-30 is a twin-engine fighter.
What does twin mean? It's two engines.
The two engines can work together or independently. A single engine can also control the aircraft.
In other words, even if one engine is damaged, you can continue to control the aircraft to avoid danger by relying on the other engine. At the very least, landing on the ground is a complete problem. Definitely won't crash easily.
However, the brutal truth is that the fighter crashed.
What's worse is that both pilots also died.
This is worth questioning.
Why did the pilot die?
Why not skydive?
Can't skydive?
Over the Mediterranean, there are no ground targets to protect!
After the pilot parachuted, the plane crashed into the sea. At most, it is the loss of aircraft. Does not cause serious damage to the ground. It is totally possible to skydive.
A Su-30 fighter jet, worth about $35 million.
This loss is insignificant compared to the value of two pilots. The Russian side can fully bear it.
However, in the end, both pilots were killed.
You know, these pilots are special, very valuable. The experience is very rich.
They are all the most elite pilots who have been transferred from the polar bear country to fight abroad! It is absolutely not easy to train a pilot with combat experience.
Extrapolating from this, there must be something strange.
It's impossible for two engines to be hit by a bird at the same time.
Unless you're diving headlong into the flock.
That fully shows that there is a problem with the radar of the fighter itself. Even flocks of birds can't be detected.
You say that one or two birds can't be detected, and that's understandable. If you can't even detect a flock of birds, then there's really no way to explain it. Left and right contradictions.
"Purser, you go back first. Wang Buan said.
"I ......" Pei Lan was at a loss.
"This matter has nothing to do with you anymore. Wang Buan said in a deep voice.
"But......" Pei Lan wanted to speak and stopped.
"You can't be there like that. ”
"Why?"
"I don't say no, I don't. ”
"Oh. ”
Wang Buan's attitude is very domineering.
He didn't want to see Pei Lan continue to be under heavy pressure.
If she had appeared, the Russians would have definitely focused their fire on her. She might have to run away.
After Pei Lan was taken away, it was a pure technical discussion.
In the competition technology, Wang Buan has never been afraid.
No matter who the other party is, he doesn't care.
"Simon here?"
"Nope. ”
"Who's coming?"
"Androv. ”
"Good. ”
Wang Buan nodded.
Simon didn't come. It shows that the situation is not very serious.
Obviously, it is impossible for the Russian side to tear up its face with Huaxia. That's not good for everybody. This kind of technical discussion can be stopped.
Who is Simon?
General designer of the Su-27 fighter family.
If he had come in person, it would have reached a very serious point. The Russian side refused to budge.
He didn't come, but just came to a deputy engineer to explain the intentions of the Russian side, which may just be to "teach a lesson" to China. Or maybe it's to get rid of your responsibilities.
"Who's here on our side?"
"Vice Minister Liu. ”
"Oh. ”
It turned out to be an acquaintance again.
Vice Minister Liu Zhenhua is also very busy.
He can be found everywhere. I just don't know if he will name himself after meeting?
The two drove to an air force base.
There are many types of fighters gathered here. Including various variants of the Su-27.
Of course, it also includes several J-16s.
"When were these J-16s produced?" asked Wang Buan.
"A week ago. Xia Nan replied.
"Did you use new materials?"
"I used it. ”
"To the extent?"
"One hundred percent. ”
"Good. ”
Wang Buan was relieved.
The so-called new materials are what he provides.
The previous Su-27 lacked mechanical strength, and the root cause was never found.
Wang Buan's speculation is that it is not some kind of isolated reason. It's a question of the quality of the raw materials as a whole. The quality of raw materials at that time could not support the fierce actions of the Su-27.
The Su-27 is a fighter that pursues fighting skills and is very suitable for dog fighting.
The famous "Pugachev Cobra" maneuver was invented on the Su-27 fighter.
Due to the excessive pursuit of maneuverability, some of its mechanical parts, including tubing, hoses, liners, shaft sleeves and other usually inconspicuous parts, are subjected to extremely high pressure.
If the quality of these parts is not up to par, it will break. Thus causing the loss of control of the entire fighter.
Judging from the summarized information, the reasons for the crash are varied.
Either it's broken here.
Either it's cracked there.
The cause of almost every accident is different.
The only explanation is that the overall quality of raw materials is not good. A problem with a component that is not a specified.
Insufficient strength of metal parts.
Insufficient strength of rubber parts.
Insufficient strength of ceramic parts.
All kinds of material problems will cause it to accumulate and be difficult to return.
If it is a single component problem, after it is replaced, it will definitely not have another problem. The reason why the root cannot be broken is the material problem.
Isn't it reluctant for you to let a three-year-old child perform the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife?
The Five Tiger Broken Door Knife is very powerful.
The premise is that you are strong enough. Able to wield it up. Otherwise, you are self-inflicted.
On the flip side, however, this is another opportunity.
What was the opportunity?
It's super dog fighting skills.
As long as the problem of raw materials is solved, it can be strengthened.
Pugachev's cobra maneuver is not the most extreme dogfight maneuver. As long as the intensity is enough, the Su-27 can make more and more thrilling moves.
What is a side roll?
What is a somersault?
What is a stall spiral?
What is a broken S maneuver?
What is an Imaman maneuver?
All the most thrilling actions, J-16 can be easily completed!
That's right, it's J-16!
Huaxia's self-produced J-16!
J-16 with new materials!
