In fact, only Yang Hui knew at this time why the reconnaissance drone was made first, in order to be able to catch up with the special time node of 96 years, at least in terms of the range of the reconnaissance reconnaissance and combat integrated UAV. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In '96, whether it was to use this drone to track the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group for a long time, or to go around the opposite island for a long time, there was no problem anyway, and in '96 it was guaranteed to surprise all parties who paid attention to the incident in the strait.

As for the benefits of tracking the US aircraft carrier battle group, of course, there are all kinds of benefits, and the most important point is that it can directly give a very direct signal to the United States: Our Republic can constantly monitor your aircraft carrier battle group 24 hours a day, and there will certainly be many ways to deal with your aircraft carrier battle group.

The biggest difficulty in long-range anti-ship operations is how to locate the opponent's fleet, and as long as the Republic's reconnaissance and combat drones can find the US fleet and track it, and when the data is transmitted back to China, it does not matter whether it is to launch an attack with long-range sea-skimming anti-ship missiles, or to use ballistic missiles to densely cover the opponent's aircraft carrier battle group.

Anyway, with long-endurance drones for tracking, the Americans will naturally know what this means, and as for what kind of response the United States will choose in the end, this is the Americans' own business.

However, in any case, with the large-scale reconnaissance and tracking of reconnaissance planes this time, the Americans will certainly not dare to be as unscrupulous as the previous one in this area.

"About this time the UAV, let's roughly settle it, the number of the aircraft mainly depends on how the domestic army wants to give it, but before that, when we contacted the navy, the code name of this drone has been decided, and the navy means that this drone is called: sea patrol."

"Patrol" is a very simple and easy-to-understand codename, the code name also has a strong naval flavor, so the army aviation is still a little unhappy, what is my army aviation going to patrol the sea, so after thinking about it, I feel that the army should still be reflected in the code name of this aircraft, after all, our army aviation is also the first user of the UAV.

This group of people really sat on the side and racked their brains like this, especially the one from Lu Hang who was scratching his ears and cheeks, which was really attentive enough. But don't say it, in this world, as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron rod is sharpened into a needle.

Various ideas soon came into being, and the most reliable one is: "This time, the reconnaissance type uses an optimized wing, and the ground attack type is another airfoil design." Now the Navy has given a code name of "sea patrol," which obviously means reconnaissance and patrol aircraft, so we can refer to this code name specifically for the reconnaissance type, and the right to name the representative of the attack type belongs to our army aviation. ”

Just listening to this statement is actually still reliable, this time the UAV project is originally two design schemes, we need to give different code names to distinguish according to the design scheme and the different combat objectives.

In this way, there is a solution to the problem, and Yang Hui is also happy: "There is really no problem with this statement, we in the southwest of China Aviation do not have any opinion on the code name of this aircraft, since the comrades of the army aviation think that a new code name should be given to the ground attack type alone, then let's listen to the ideas of the army aviation!"

After getting the approval of the UAV R&D unit, the idea of land aviation is becoming more and more bold, and the code name that surfaced is: "To say that the code name of this ground attack unmanned agency type, our land aviation opinion should fully reflect the essence of its ground attack, so there is a "hellcat" code name after discussion, which is also fully considered The export needs of this UAV were thought of, mainly at home and abroad should be acceptable. ”

"Hellcat", this is indeed a code name that cannot find any relevant historical allusions in China, but this name has a name that makes people feel that there is incomparable danger in the small body after hearing it once, and this is also more suitable for the design of the integrated drone.

The UAV is only 1.5 tons of maximum take-off weight, which is very small compared to other ground attack fighters, so using a cat as an analogy is still more appropriate for this UAV, and the combat effectiveness of the cat is still good, and it is generally more appropriate.

And this code name still takes into account the acceptance of the code name by export customers in the future, which is quite appropriate: "Just the code name of this "Hellcat", and we will explain to the Navy in the future, it is true that the code name of this "sea patrol" is only limited to the use of the Navy, and we need a more common codename. ”

But the situation soon had a tendency to develop in another direction, and it was not known whether Lu Hang was addicted to giving code names to people, or if the person in charge sent by Lu Hang had a strong love for cats, and soon prepared various code names for cats for various reasons.

For example, the anti-radiation drone project that has been discussed this time also has a new code name this time: "Since no one has a code name, simply set the code name of the previous anti-radiation drone, I think I will use "Tmall" as the code name, it sounds simple and easy to understand, it is a suicide strike from the sky. ”

Yang Hui didn't have much reaction to this "Tmall", but if he was reborn in about 15 years after a few years, then now it must be all kinds of complaints about the so-called "Tmall", really what "Tmall" or something, is there still Jingdong, Amazon, Dangdang, and Excellence in the future?

It's a pity that Yang Hui didn't know that there would be Taobao in the future, and there would be such a thing as Tmall, just the code name I heard now is indeed more appropriate.

That's almost the case: "Okay, the code name of this "Tmall" is also very good, our anti-radiation drone will be called Tmall in the future, from now on, this project will be called the "Tmall Project" internally, it seems that our AVIC Southwest UAV is really related to cats! ”

It would be fine if Yang Hui didn't say this, but the problem was that he said this, that is, he directly encouraged this cat lover of Lu Airlines.

"Yes, yes, there is indeed a relationship between this drone and the cat, it just so happens that our previous artillery reconnaissance 1 drone does not have a code name, or also give a code name with a cat in the name, such as the pastoral cat is very good, because this artillery reconnaissance 1 drone is a reconnaissance drone, and it does not have the corresponding attack ability, and the pastoral cat does not sound so sharp."

At this time, it is completely understood, and in the future, the drones of AVIC Southwest will be all kinds of cats, and perhaps the follow-up drones will have Garfield, Ragdoll cats, and Persian cats...... (To be continued.) )
