Chapter 254: Medium Tanks Are Taking Off

What are the requirements for a strike machine?

Good protection.

A powerful and well-stocked arsenal.

Both of these conditions are closely related to the thrust of the engine.

If the protection is strong, more protective armor must be installed. In this way, the dead weight will increase rapidly.

Needless to say, bomb load and engine thrust are directly proportional.

Ordinary engines are not satisfied.

This is also the reason for the gradual decline of the strike aircraft.

Fortunately, the appearance of 125 gave hope to the attack machine.

As long as the thrust is sufficient, even if you add 10 cm thick protective armor to your body, it will be no problem.

Anyway, there is no question of fuel consumption.

The take-off weight is 20 tons and 30 tons, and the fuel consumption is zero.

In other words, the strike machine can be armed to the teeth while protecting itself as if it were an impregnable wall.

So, is the strike machine obsolete?

It's outdated indeed.

So, is the attack machine useless?

Yes!

Very useful!

Its attack capability is incomparable to that of helicopter gunships.

Especially low-altitude assaults. It's like the existence of a tiger descending from the mountain.

Relying on a powerful arsenal, it is simply possible to sweep all ground forces.

Limited to the different types, the gunship cannot achieve the speed of a strong attack aircraft. That is, it is very difficult to force a breakthrough.

And the Strike Machine can do it.

No matter how strong the line of defense is, it can tear a crack.

Especially in local wars, its fire support is simply a magic weapon for the ground forces.

What kind of strategic bomber do you have, you don't need it at all in peacetime.

On the front line, the Strike Fighter is busy, like worker bees in a swarm.

The ground forces make a phone call and it will arrive.

A round of tom tom tom can definitely achieve the effect of clearing the field.

This trick has been tried and tested by US imperialism repeatedly.

As it turned out, this trick was indeed very powerful.

Wang Bu'an also likes this effect.

Strategic bombers are actually not energetic.

You can't see the goal, and you complete the task.

The strong fighter is the real hand-to-hand combat.

Face-to-face fighting is enjoyable.

Of course, this refers to someone else. He himself will never play.

However, he will equip those who come on the field with the most powerful weapons. Like a handful of frost sorrow or something.

Rolling bombs and cloudburst bombs are the sorrow of modern frost.

"Your design needs to be overhauled. Wang Buan said.

"How to make a big change?" Chen Yifeng humbly asked for advice.

"The engine has to be up. ”

"Really?"

"It's the safest place to put it up. ”

"Good. ”

Chen Yifeng humbly accepted the suggestion.

As long as there is Wang Buan's support, the project of the strong attack machine will have a greater chance of being approved.

However, it is a pity that Chen Yifeng did not have the opportunity to have in-depth discussions with Wang Buan.

It turned out that Wang Buan was dragged away by other people.

The newly established 220 Research Institute is definitely fragrant now!

Everyone hopes to pull some resources from Wang Buan.

Wang Buan fell into a situation of lack of skills.

Thankfully, someone came to help.

After lunch, the No. 2 aircraft was ready for a test flight.

Liu Zhenhua called Wang Buan away.

The second machine is an ordinary aluminum skin. Its test items obviously have nothing to do with double three.

The main thing is mobility, but also ammunition load, ammunition counterweight, etc.

A large number of simulated weapons are mounted inside and around the fuselage.

These simulated weapons are all made of stainless steel. All of them are heavy. Exactly the same as the real weapon.

As the person in charge of the fire control system, Pu Qiancheng is simply overjoyed.

Finally, it's time to unleash your design abilities.

As long as he could imagine the weapons, he loaded them all.

The fighter plane, which originally had an empty weight of only 12 tons, took off with a staggering 40 tons.

In other words, it is equipped with a full 28 tons of weapons.

It's just horrible.

The bomb load is more than that of the average bomber.

The slender and slender man in the air was dressed up as if it were a Christmas tree by adding countless weapon suspension systems.

To a certain extent, the beauty of Cai Guoqing in the air has been weakened.

Instead, it was the greeting of death.

"Professor Pu, I have a question. Wang Buan asked seriously.

Say. Pu Qiancheng said with a dance.

"You say, is this a fighter, or is it a bomber?"

"Dual-purpose fighter-bombing. ”

Wang Buyan circled the fighter several times.

There are too many weapons hanging by the eighth master.

Eight air-to-air missiles.

Eight air-to-surface missiles.

Eight air-to-ship missiles.

There are also four heavy aerial bombs. Each piece weighs more than 500 kilograms.

Inside the cabin, there were also four cloudburst bombs. That's amazing. Each one weighs more than 5 tons. Four is 20 tons!

Among the conventional ammunition, the cloud burst bomb is definitely a well-deserved killer.

A 5-ton cloudburst bomb is enough to flatten a ground area with a radius of 300 meters. Including bunkers at a depth of 30 meters underground.

In front of the cloudburst bomb is a special drill bit that can drill into the ground.

In a sense, it's also a ground-penetrating bomb.

If you want to say ferocious, nuclear bombs are not as ferocious as it.

When the cloudburst bomb hits the ground, all the air is evacuated.

All the creatures around them, even if they are not shocked to death, will suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

If it's used in a cave or tunnel, it's just terrifying.

Fortunately, it was the era of Shangganling, and there were no cloud burst bombs. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Of course, this is an experiment.

In a real battle, it is impossible to hang so many weapons.

After all, in terms of comprehensive performance, the J-8 is already seriously lagging behind. If you encounter the enemy's F-15, F16 or something, there is no room to fight back.

It was shot down before they met, and no matter how many weapons they had, they were all in vain.

However, there are not too many F-15s, F16s or anything around our country.

The reason why Chen Yifeng's project is dangerous is that it is dangerous. It's like a fighter like J-8, when necessary, it can also penetrate at a low altitude!

Our army has always had the habit of seeing red with bayonets. Even the Air Force Rabbit is the same.

I was really in a hurry, and I crashed into it directly on the plane.

Besides, it's just a test item.

Once the 125 has proven its excellent performance, it will be used in other fighters.

It's like the J16 is a heavy fighter/bomber. It is a replacement for the J-8.

The comprehensive performance of the J16 is much more powerful than that of the J-8.

"Plane two, ready to take off. ”

"Plane No. 2 is about to take off. ”

Under the command of the tower, the second machine slowly began to slide.

Pu Qiancheng's expression suddenly became a little nervous.

After all, that's a take-off weight of 40 tons.

What was originally a light fighter turned into a heavy fighter in an instant.

40 tons, which is exactly the weight of a medium tank.

In today's world, there seems to be no pure fighter with a take-off weight of 40 tons.

The famous US imperialist F-15 heavy fighter has a maximum take-off weight of 31 tons. The amount of ammunition carried was only 11 tons. But it has dominated the world, and there are almost no rivals left.

That is, the thrust of 125 is strong enough for Pu Qiancheng to dare to let go.

Engine ignition.

The tail erupts with terrifying flames.

Hasten.

Elevating.

Takeoff.

The second machine made a smooth jump.

The take-off distance is about 160 meters. The same meets the needs of carrier-based aircraft.

You know, it carried a full 28 tons of ammunition.

If all of them are equipped with anti-ship missiles, dozens of them can be hung, and it is possible to directly penetrate three aircraft carriers.

According to the flight plan, the speed of the No. 2 aircraft will remain at about Mach 2 and the altitude will remain at 18,000 meters. This is the combat speed of most of the fighters.

The second machine makes a variety of tactical moves.

S-shape, figure-8, reverse figure-8, string flowers, dive, roll, cobra action......

There are no problems with the previous movements.

Only the cobra action made everyone secretly sweat.

After all, this maneuver is more difficult for a heavy fighter. If it gets out of control, the fighter can easily get into a stall.

Only Wang Buan was unfazed.

Stall?

It's impossible.

The structure of the 125 is destined to be impossible to stall.

The air flow it ejects is so powerful that even if it is straight upward, it can get enough thrust.

On the same principle, stall tailspin is also impossible.

As long as the engine does not stall, there is no possibility of stalling. to continue to control.

So, does the engine stall?

Absolutely.

Actively turn off the fire.

Will it passively turn off?

No.

Unless it was shot down and crashed.

As long as it's still in the air, it won't go out. There is absolutely no possibility of air parking.

Sure enough, everything went well.

All the prescribed actions have been completed.

The cobra's movements are also smooth, as if a senior chef is making a simple bowl of egg fried rice.

There were no surprises.

The most feared stall did not appear.

Li Tonghe even deliberately manipulated, hoping that he would stall. But no.

The 125 engine is so powerful at all times. Even a straight jump can reach a climb rate of more than 10 meters per second.

Smooth return.

Smooth landing.

Aircraft No. 3 prepares for takeoff.

It is constructed of stainless steel. The empty weight reached 18 tons.

Now, it is also loaded with 28 tons of ammunition. The take-off weight reached a staggering 46 tons.

This is already not a fighter take-off.

It's all about a medium tank taking off.

Unlike the No. 2 aircraft, the No. 3 aircraft does not have many missiles suspended.

All it hangs is heavy bombs.

The weight of each is more than 5 tons.

Initiate.

Elevating.

Jumped.

Smooth take-off.

The take-off distance is about 180 meters. It still meets the requirements of carrier-based aircraft.

The existing J15 carrier-based aircraft, if unloaded, have a take-off distance of 105 meters on the aircraft carrier. If it is fully loaded, the take-off distance on the aircraft carrier is 195 meters.

There are three take-off points on the Liaodong aircraft carrier, the first two are 105 meters and the last one is 195 meters.

In other words, the maximum take-off distance can only be 195 meters.

From this point of view, there is still room for improvement in the 125.

The main thing is the lack of instantaneous explosiveness.

It is best to be able to compress to within 50 meters for takeoff.

It's just that in that case, the requirements for pilots are strict. The overload will be significant.

The steam catapult of the US imperialist aircraft carrier is able to ensure that many types of fighters take off in just 70 meters.

Can we do it?

Air Force pilots, I'm afraid, can't. Navy pilots are needed to come.

The No. 4 machine is for naval pilots. The goal is to simulate take-off from the deck of an aircraft carrier. The shortest take-off distance is required.

The No. 4 machine is also an aluminum skin structure, with an empty weight of 12 tons. Suspension of 12 tons of ammunition. Take-off weight 24 tons.

Test pilot Zhou Lingfei is from the Navy. It is the leader in handling carrier-based aircraft.

Wang Bu'an suddenly saw Xu Ban's figure.
