Three days later, four Ukrainian Air Force An-124 large transport planes arrived at the Somali Air Force's northern Vanlais base carrying six fighter jet parts sold to Somalia. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Chief of the General Staff of the Somali Defence Forces and the Commander of the Air Force, Major General Hussein, personally rushed to the airport to greet him.

Ostensibly, Major General Hussein was trying to show the importance of the Somali political axe, but in fact a few people knew that Hussein was in a hurry to come in order to airlift six unassembled fighter jets.

The leader of the Ukrainian side is an air force colonel, and after introduction, Hussein learned that the person in front of him is called Vishniak, the deputy commander of a Ukrainian combat flight regiment, and this time he came to Somalia, in addition to being responsible for transporting fighter parts, he took several Ukrainian air force pilots to train Somali air force pilots until the Somali air force pilots were able to skillfully fly Su-27 fighters.

"General Hussein, this is the Pavel engineer from the Zaporosh company and the team he leads, and they will be responsible for guiding your country to assemble these fighters." Colonel Vishniak introduced the team of engineers of Ukrainian Airlines, which totaled more than thirty people.

Hussein was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly shook hands with everyone to express his gratitude. Although the Somali Air Force also has a small logistics bazaar team, most of them are improvised and lack the experience of learning advanced science.

This time, being able to watch Ukrainian engineers assemble the aircraft with their own eyes will give you a more intuitive understanding of the aircraft's architecture. If you don't understand something, you can also ask to learn. After all, in the order contract, Ukraine is responsible for training a group of qualified logistics technicians for the Somali Air Force.

Of course, Hussein also understands that it is impossible to fully control the logistics and maintenance of the new aircraft on his own. Although the Ukrainian political axe on this order, give Somalia many preferential conditions. But the Ukrainian political axe is not a philanthropist, they also hope to be able to obtain the cost of providing technical services and repairs and replacement parts for these fighters when they encounter major problems in the future, and command and teach the logistics personnel of the Somali Air Force to carry out simple maintenance and logistics maintenance of the fighters.

Therefore, everything is on your own. If you rely on others for everything, you can't develop or grow.

Hussain did not stay long here, first unloading all the parts of the aircraft and transporting them to a makeshift assembly hall before handing it over to the airbase management, leaving behind the 30 pilots of the 1st Fighter Squadron of the Air Force who came with him.

Today, after more than a year of development, coupled with the strong support of the state and the Star Organization, nearly 100 people have passed the training of junior instructors of the Air Force, most of whom have more than 100 hours of flying experience. These people are basically from the first batch of 50 reserve personnel recruited, and the final qualification of 20 junior instructors is 20, and the remaining 10 are foreign pilots who have been recruited.

Among these 30 pilots, some have actual combat experience, such as Captain Jababa, the current ace pilot of the Somali Air Force, who shot down a Somaliland reconnaissance plane and a Kenyan F-5 fighter plane during the Soken War, which is a well-deserved trump card of the young Somali Air Force.

Now that he has a squadron of Su-27 fighters procured from Ukraine, Hussein intends to correct the pilots of the second squadron in reserve. It also plans to find an opportunity to open a pilot training course at the Military Academy, and bring together the air force pilots sent by Ukraine to help Somalia train pilots.

I don't believe that these pilots can withstand the smashing of dollars. Hussein, who was sitting in a car and leaving the airport, snorted and had a smug smile on his face.

If this group of elite Ukrainian pilots is really poached and served as instructors for pilots in military academies, the boss should reward him, absolutely.

As soon as he thought of the dollar money rewarded by his boss, Hussein felt that the speed of the car was too slow, and he regretted it a little, knowing that he should have come by helicopter and then take a helicopter back. However, I thought that the boss had specially ordered that it was not an emergency, and that the troops of the various departments equipped with armed helicopters were forbidden to use helicopters. Hussein felt a little bad in his mood, and wondered if he should go and talk to the boss again and buy a batch of transport helicopters? It would be nice to be able to buy a big guy like that. Hussein's mind couldn't help but think of the four An-124 large transport planes at the airbase.

When Hussein returned to Mogadishu, he called his boss Li Mo, and when he learned that the boss was now in the industrial park of Batada Town, he immediately found a reason for himself to use the helicopter equipped by the First Armored Brigade of the Capital Military Region to rush to Badada Town. He has an emergency to report to his boss, doesn't he?

With the establishment of the Soi R&D Center, the area of the entire industrial park is much larger again. Fortunately, Li Mo planned to build this place into a large-scale military base, and the land area allocated at the beginning was not small. Half of the land in the industrial park, which has only completed the first phase of the project, plus several factories and research rooms equipped with the R&D center, is empty.

Li Mo came this time, the main purpose of which was to learn about the production situation in the industrial park and the process of Soy's joint development of a new tank.

With this visit to the two countries, Li Mo really saw that a country's national defense is strong, not just to pull up tens of thousands of troops. Rather, it is where there is praise in all aspects. Somalia lags behind other countries, and apart from economic problems, industrial weakness is the biggest obstacle to development. Nowadays, with the investment promotion and the establishment of several major companies of Xingchen Company, although it has filled the gap in industry, it is still supported by Xingchen Company alone in terms of heavy industry, and a complete industrial system has not yet been established.

If you want to build a complete industrial system, it will take a long time, not to mention the huge cost. Li Mo doesn't have a golden finger, and he can't move his golden finger like some 'predecessors' to win billions of family fortunes. If you want to accomplish this goal, you have to develop it slowly.

Fortunately, in modern society, logistics is convenient, and most products can be purchased through commercialization. Even many advanced weapons and equipment can reach more than 50% of the commercialization of components. At present, as long as the Xingchen organization focuses on several key directions for research and development, it will have the ability to industrialize production as soon as possible.

In the industrial park, the experts brought a group of senior executives of the industrial park and the production department to welcome the visit of the big boss.

Li Mo said some words of praise and encouragement, and then let most of the people disperse, and only took a few people such as experts to visit several major factory workshops in the industrial park.

In the power factory, Li Mo looked at a diesel engine coming off the production line a little strangely. It's not that I haven't seen the Deutz BF6M1015 four-stroke diesel engine used in the Lion King 2 infantry fighting vehicle, and the diesel engine produced by the ultra-precision machine tool produced by the earliest machinery factory under Xingchen Company has not reached the highest 540 horsepower produced by the original German factory, but it has also reached 500 horsepower, which exceeds the similar diesel engine imitated by the production line introduced by Huaxia. That diesel engine is larger, and there is a slight difference in appearance.

Li Mo didn't remember when he signed the plan to produce a new engine, he remembered the engine imitation of the infantry fighting vehicle, or the engine production data he obtained with his own ability.

"Boss, are you surprised?" The expert's face was a little smug.

Li Mo nodded honestly, he was very skeptical about the origin of this diesel engine. Without him to provide data, the power plant has the ability to develop and produce a new engine on its own?

"Hehe, this engine is also born from the diesel engine used in infantry fighting vehicles. However, we have made some improvements, mainly to replace the fuel with the cylinder and some parts that require high pressure and high temperature to replace it with silicon-uranium alloy, and the engine you see is the test product we just made. Not only is the volume a fifth larger, but the weight is also much lighter. The specific data will not be known until it has been tested. However, I am sure that this engine will be more powerful and less fuel-efficient than the previous imitations. The expert explained with a smile and beckoned the staff to pick up the diesel engine for testing.

Although Li Mo does not know much about engines, he also knows that engine downsizing has always been the subject of research in the field of power. Even if there is no need for vehicle vessel miniaturization, the diesel engine with smaller size, greater power and lower fuel consumption will inevitably save more space and weight and be used in other aspects. Taking armored vehicles as an example, the smaller the engine size and lighter the weight, the space saved can be loaded with other equipment or ammunition fuel, and the long-lasting combat capability and distance of the combat vehicle can be improved.

"Is this engine useful?" Li Mo thought for a long time and couldn't help asking. As an engine for infantry fighting vehicles, the previous imitation of the Deutz diesel engine is advanced enough, after all, it is a German-made engine, and 500 horsepower to drive a wheeled combat vehicle is completely sufficient. If the power is greater and the volume is smaller, it will not be very useful for a wheeled combat vehicle. Infantry fighting vehicles are military weapons, and most of the main combat sites are in the wilderness, and it is impossible to run an off-road speed of 100 kilometers. A more powerful engine is completely wasteful when used on a combat vehicle. Of course, low fuel consumption is a good thing for armored forces to reduce logistical pressure. But this engine is made of silicon-uranium alloy. The cost is twice as high as that of the original imitation diesel engine.

In particular, the issue of the production of silicon-uranium alloy is already a pimple in Li Mo's heart. If it is still used on this kind of 'useless' engine, Li Mo will definitely be distressed.

The expert also saw the displeasure in Li Mo's expression, and hurriedly explained, "Boss, you can't blame me, it's all to blame He Ping's kid, saying that he wanted to provide a power-generating engine for the new tank, so he put the idea on silicon-uranium alloy." The expert also felt aggrieved in his heart, producing an engine for experimental use, he, the head of the production department, did not need to report to Li Mo for approval at all, and it was not a large-scale industrial production. It's just to use some silicon-uranium alloy, but it's nothing in his capacity, so he doesn't understand why the boss is dissatisfied.
