Chapter 499: Lockheed

Two years ago, during the Atlanta Olympics, Ryuzheng had just arrived in Atlanta when he was approached by Lockheed Martin Space Systems, which is based here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The infoC-5 Galaxy, the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-117A stealth attack aircraft are the three models that Lockheed Martin Space Systems is focusing on marketing to Ryuzheng.

At that time, the equipment of the Salwehr Air Force was clear at a glance, with 10 Mi-24 gunships, 10 Mi-8 multi-role helicopters, 10 tactical UAVs, and 24 F-15 Hawk fighters, of which 24 F-15 Hawk fighters had not yet been delivered, and were still in the assembly hall of the McDonnell Douglas Company.

The Salween Federal Air Force did not have a transport plane, so Lockheed Martin Space Systems recommended the C-5 "Galaxy" transport plane, a large strategic military transport plane, to Long Zheng. The Salween Federal Air Force did not have light fighters, so Lockheed Martin Space Systems recommended the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter -- one of the most successful light fighters in the world. The Salween Federal Air Force did not have bombers, so Lockheed Martin Space Systems recommended the F-117A stealth attack aircraft -- the world's first stealth fighter-bomber that could be officially combated.

The C-5 Galaxy, the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-117A stealth attack aircraft are all three types that the air force of any country in the world wants to have, and the Salween Federal Air Force is no exception. It's a pity that Lockheed Martin Space Systems didn't know that Long Zheng's mind was on Russia's Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group at that time, and Long Zheng had racked his brains in order to prepare for the payment of 10 billion US dollars. You must know that because of inflation, the purchasing power of $10 billion in 1996 was greater than that of $20 billion in 2016. Even if all went well for the Atlanta Olympics, Ryu won five events and earned $7.6 billion in betting revenue, leaving a $24 deficit to be filled. Under such a premise, how could Long Zheng still have the spare energy to buy new military aircraft.

Therefore, at that time, Long Zheng could only reluctantly refuse the promotion of Lockheed Martin Space Systems. Time has changed, and now Long Zheng has wholly acquired Lockheed Martin Space Systems, and has a huge amount of cash in his hands, and the situation is completely different from that of '94.

The General Headquarters of the Salween Armed Forces has two major organs at the same level -- the Ministry of Public Security Administration and the National Defense Force, and under the National Defense Forces, there are the National Defense Army, the National Defense Army Navy, and the National Defense Force Air Force.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Salween Defense Force, in addition to the Wehrmacht Navy, which already has two aircraft carrier battle groups, the Wehrmacht Army and the Wehrmacht Air Force have placed huge equipment orders with Lockheed Martin Space Systems.

Lockheed Martin Space Systems' products are divided into six sections. The first section, military transport aircraft products; the second section, fighter products; the third section, reconnaissance aircraft products; Section 4, Rocket and Missile Products; Section 5, Satellite Products; The sixth section, civil aviation passenger aircraft products.

In the first section of military transport aircraft products, Lockheed Martin Space Systems has four flagship products, the C-130 "Hercules" medium transport aircraft series, the C-141 "Transport Star" long-range jet transport aircraft, the C-5 "Galaxy" heavy transport aircraft, and the C2 "Greyhound" transport aircraft.

Among them, the C-130 is one of the world's most successfully designed, longest-used, and most countries in service; it has been in service for more than 40 years since its first flight on 23 August 1954, and has been used by more than 60 countries or regions, with a total production of more than 2,000 planes, and nearly 40 modifications of various missions. The C-130 can take off and land on front-line airstrip runways, deliver or airdrop military personnel and equipment to the battlefield, and can be used to evacuate the wounded on return. After modification, it is used to perform various tasks, and the models used for electronic surveillance, air command, control and communication include EC-130, EC-130Q, etc.; In addition, there are search and rescue and recovery, air refueling, special mission, meteorological detection, maritime patrol and air early warning, in addition to a large number of civilian types.

The C-141 "Transport Star" transport aircraft is one of the main strategic transport aircraft of the US Air Force, the world's first jet aircraft designed entirely for cargo, and the first large transport aircraft to use turbofan engines. The C-141 "Transport Star" transport aircraft has a crew of 5 people, equipped with TF33-P-7 turbofan engines, 4X9526 kg thrust. The wingspan is 48.74 meters, the length is 51.29 meters, the height is 11.96 meters, the maximum speed is 912 kilometers per hour, the practical ceiling is 12,680 meters, the maximum take-off weight is 155582 kilograms, the combat radius is 1,112 kilometers, and the maximum range is 5,148 kilometers. The transfer range is 10,284 km. It can carry 30-40 tons of cargo or 200 heavily armed soldiers. Although the C-141's cargo compartment was not as large as that of the C-5 and C-17, it could easily carry large cargo up to 31 meters long. Its cargo hold can also carry 208 heavily armed ground force soldiers or 168 fully equipped paratroopers at a time. The aircraft can also deliver Minuteman strategic ballistic missiles. During the Gulf War, the C-141 flew 37,000 sorties, 90 percent of which reached its destination on time.

The C-5 "Galaxy" transport aircraft is a large strategic military transport aircraft produced by Lockheed Corporation of the United States, and it is also the largest strategic transport aircraft in service with the US Air Force. The C-5 is capable of carrying oversized cargo around the globe and taking off and landing over relatively short distances. Ground crews can simultaneously load and unload the C-5 in the front and rear hatches.

The C-2 was developed from the E-2A "Hawkeye" aircraft and was designed specifically for transporting cargo for aircraft carrier aircraft. It is compatible with the lifts and deck hangars on the CVS-10 and CVA-19 aircraft carriers, and can be taken off with a catapult device (with nose towing) or a blocking landing. Many components of the C-2A can be common to the E-2A, having similar all-weather capabilities. A total of three pre-production aircraft were produced, one for static testing. It first flew on November 18, 1964 and was officially delivered to the Navy on December 2, 1964. Production aircraft were delivered to the U.S. Navy shipboard transport units from 1966 as a complement to the C-1 aircraft.

In the second section of fighter products, in addition to the P38 Lightning fighter that has been discontinued, and the F-22 "Raptor" stealth fighter and F-35 "Lightning" stealth fighter series under development, Lockheed Martin Space Systems has two flagship products, the F-16 "Falcon" multi-role fighter and the F-117 "Nighthawk" stealth fighter-bomber fighter.

Among them, the F-16 is one of the most successful light fighter types in the world, and since the beginning of mass production in 1976, a total of nearly 4,600 F-16s have been born, and the production volume of the F-16 alone can exceed the total number of aircraft of the air forces of most countries, and it has been exported to nearly 30 countries and regions. Since the 1981 Bekaa Valley air battle, the F-16 has participated in almost all large-scale wars, and its excellent performance has also withstood the test of actual combat. In terms of design, the F-16 greatly optimizes the combat performance in the visual range in response to the experience of air combat in the Vietnam War, and is the first fighter in the United States that can carry out 9G overload maneuvers, and it is also one of the first fighters in the United States to adopt wire-by-wire flight control and ergonomic cockpit. Starting from the F-16A/B Block 15 batch, the F-16 has been improved to be multi-purpose, and has the ability to fight at night and launch air-to-ground missiles, anti-ship missiles and other counter-strike capabilities, becoming a multi-role fighter.

The F-117 is a stealth fighter-bomber developed by the former Lockheed Corporation of the United States. It is the world's first officially operational stealth fighter-bomber. The design of the F-117 began in the mid-70s of the 20th century, and the test flight was finalized on June 15, 1981, and deliveries to the US Air Force began on August 23 of the following year, with a total of 59 aircraft delivered to the Air Force. The F-117 remained a secret after it entered service until November 10, 1988, when the Air Force first released photos of the aircraft, and in April 1989 the F-117 was unveiled at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. Later, the F-117 also participated in military operations such as the U.S. invasion of Panama and the Gulf War.

In the third section of reconnaissance aircraft products, Lockheed Martin Space Systems has two flagship products, the U-2 high-altitude spy reconnaissance aircraft and the SR-71 Blackbird high-altitude high-speed strategic reconnaissance aircraft.

Although the U-2 high-altitude spy reconnaissance aircraft and the SR-71 Blackbird high-altitude high-speed strategic reconnaissance aircraft have been included in the ranks of retirement by the US military and have entered the countdown to retirement, in other countries, the U-2 high-altitude spy reconnaissance aircraft and the SR-71 Blackbird high-altitude high-speed strategic reconnaissance aircraft are undoubtedly still tall and tall.

Among them, the U-2 is a reconnaissance plane manufactured for a specific purpose by the "Skunk Works," a secret department of the Lockheed Martin Space Systems Corporation, at the request of the US Government, and the U-2 is a single-engine turbojet high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft developed by the US Lockheed Martin Space Systems Corporation. The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed Lady Jiaolong, can carry out all-weather reconnaissance missions at an altitude of 70,000 feet day and night. Provide critical intelligence to decision-makers in peacetime, crises, skirmishes, and wars. It is also used for electronic sensor development, satellite data confirmation and calibration. The U-2 secretly completed its maiden flight in August 1955, and in 1956 it began to equip the US Air Force, the US Air Force and the CIA to reconnoiter strategic targets behind enemy lines, and can still be used as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft today.

The SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft was developed and produced by Skunk Factory, the secret division of Lockheed Martin Space Systems, and used a large number of advanced technologies at the time, and could be designed with low detectability technology, and could also evade enemy aircraft and anti-aircraft missiles at Mach 3 speeds. In terms of combat records, not a single SR-71 has been shot down since it entered service in January 1966.
