"What? Weapons configuration according to the American Apache? Boy, you're not fooling me, are you? Long Yaohua didn't believe it anymore, the American Apache, that is the most advanced armed helicopter in the world, this thing not only has a strong firepower configuration, but also a variety of performance is very advanced. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When China and the United States were negotiating, they were also preparing to introduce Apache helicopter gunships at the beginning, but the Americans did not provide such gunships at all, not even the military version of the Black Hawk, but only the civilian version of the Black Hawk helicopter.

"This is really not bragging, especially in terms of firepower configuration, if we have enough advanced supporting weapons and equipment in China, our helicopters can achieve the attack performance of Apache, and the performance in other aspects, such as the maximum flight speed and range, is even more advanced than Apache." Liu Yijiu hadn't spoken yet, and Liao Zhuojing and a group of other technicians also came here at this time.

Helicopter gunships are a very big project that they have invested in, and these studies are headed for the world's first helicopter gunship.

Apache, at least in the current world, is recognized as the most powerful helicopter gunship.

The United States and the Soviet Union take a somewhat different path, their weapons and equipment are very subdivided, the Soviet Union is considering multi-purpose, even if there is a professional transport helicopter, it is also based on the Mi-24 as the main force, but in the war in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union found that the Mi-24 armed transport helicopter has too many shortcomings, reopened the professional armed helicopter design.

This is not a secret, for the top brass of the military of the republic, these news are known.

"How does it compare to the latest Mi-28 and K-50 developed by the Soviet Union?" Long Yaohua asked Liao Zhuojing and Liu Yijiu.

This question stumped the two of them.

"The Mi-28 is called Apacski by the West, except that it cannot be compared with the American Apache in terms of performance, such as armor protection, survivability of onboard personnel, etc., which is superior to the American Apache. As for the Ka-50, we can't match their attack firepower with this thing! Liao Zhuojing has to admit that there is still some gap between their armed helicopter and the mainstream advanced armed helicopters in the world.

For example, the Ka-50, four pylons under the wings can carry 16 laser-guided "Whirlwind" anti-tank missiles, as well as four groups of 80 mm C-8M "air-to-ground" rockets, a total of 80 pieces, and a limited-turn turret on the right side of the nose.

These firepower alone are much stronger than the attack firepower of the Ninth Academy. Not to mention, in order to improve the survivability of helicopter pilots, this helicopter is equipped with a pilot ejection seat, which is the world's first helicopter with an ejection seat. In addition, the degree of automation of this helicopter is very high because of the large number of advanced computer chips purchased from China, and the degree of automation control is even higher than that originally in history.

A helicopter gunship, with only one pilot, is able to carry out fire operations while flying.

In this regard, the armed helicopters of the Ninth Academy cannot be compared.

Even, it can be said that the United States cannot compare with the Soviet Union in this regard.

There is also the Mi-28, this kind of armed helicopter, itself is designed according to some characteristics of the American Apache, in terms of appearance, aerodynamic layout and structure, etc., there are many similarities, which also makes the development of the Mi-28 very limited, especially in terms of funding. But even so, with the huge strength of the Soviet Union's defense industrial base, it began to develop in 76, made its first flight in 82, and equipped the troops last year.

"Where are the main gaps?" The surrounding sky had begun to light up, and the helicopter became more visible in the light.

Long Yaohua looked at the gunship that was still being inspected by many technicians, and asked the people of the Ninth Academy.

"We don't have the ejection seat of the Ka-50 on this, and the firepower is a little worse than theirs. In addition, the full armor of the Mi-28 was also not used, mainly to reduce the weight of the helicopter, but in terms of defense, we are not too far behind them. Liao Zhuojing looked at Liu Yijiu, who shook his head, and he didn't tell the truth.

When the Z-91 was designed, they began to consider the problem of defense, and in this regard, their best solution was to use a large number of graphene armor, but this material was too difficult to manufacture and too costly.

Moreover, the number of Z-91 exports is large, and there is a concern that the presence of graphene will leak out.

Even if specialized helicopter gunships are used domestically, they will not be exported, and if they are used too much, the poor Chinese army simply cannot afford to equip them.

The USSR developed their military industry regardless of the cost, and did not think about how much money was paid to equip the troops or anything.

The United States, on the other hand, has money, and even if it has no money and a fiscal deficit, it can rob the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan, which are among the top economies in the world. That's their biggest vault.

China has nothing but to earn money honestly on its own, and then equip the army.

"Chief, I don't think there is any need to compare these with other similar types in the world, only those that are suitable for the development of our troops are the best." When Liu Yijiu saw this scene, he had to remind Long Yaohua that if he continued to do this, even the most basic self-confidence of the big guy would be hit very seriously.

Long Yaohua nodded and did not speak again.

After watching from the side for a while, he, a layman, didn't even see the excitement, and suddenly lost some interest.

"Chief, why don't we go and rest for a while?" Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua.

Long Yaohua shook his head.

"Lao Liao, tell the chief about the performance of our armed helicopters. Although at the very beginning the firepower configuration of our helicopter gunships was introduced. Liu Yijiu knew that Long Yaohua was lacking in interest because their helicopter was inferior in performance compared to the world's first-class main helicopter.

Of course, this is what Long Yaohua thinks himself, and at the same time, it is also shown by the Ninth Academy.

"There's no need, didn't you introduce it before? The maximum flight speed is 428 kilometers per hour......" Long Yaohua looked at Liu Yijiu in surprise.

Although Liu Yijiu's introduction before was not very systematic, he was able to understand a rough idea.

"How much does it cost?" Long Yaohua asked Liu Yijiu.

"8 million US dollars, equivalent to about 50 million yuan." Such a cost would have been relatively cheap for a professional armed helicopter.

The Soviet Mi-28 basically amounted to $16 million a plane, while the Ka-50 was more expensive. As for Apache, which has become famous in the world, no one outside knows the price.

Even Liu Yijiu could not deduce the price of this helicopter, according to the current technical basis, the price of the United States' own equipment will definitely not be less than $20 million, and other countries in the world will naturally purchase the price higher, and some of the wronged leaders have even purchased it from the United States at a price of $50 million.

"Our domestic unit, don't you use dollars?" Long Yaohua was a little angry when he heard the dollar, "At this price, if you equip a brigade, it will cost 600 million ......."

"That's a very low price!" Liao Zhuojing hurriedly said.

It's all when the price goes down.

"I know this, your gunship has been lowered, right?" Long Yaohua's question caught the people in the Ninth Academy a little off guard.

Even Liu Yijiu was a little surprised that Long Yaohua would ask like this.

"It's true that the configuration has been reduced, and a lot of design has not improved the performance very much, but it has increased the cost a lot. If the configuration is not reduced, these prices will be comparable to our fighters. ”

Liu Yijiu did not mean not to admit it in the slightest.

For the Chinese military, it did not realize that the role of helicopters was not much smaller than that of fighter jets, as later generations did.

Fighter jets cannot perform many tasks, especially low-altitude battlefield support and ground search and attack.

"Do you think that we all think that helicopters are not as useful as fighters?" Long Yaohua continued to ask questions that made Liu Yijiu a little uncomfortable.

Liu Yijiu just nodded, realized that something was wrong, and quickly shook his head.

He smiled, "Chief, how can you." Helicopters are not the same as fighter jets in their battlefield support missions. Moreover, the role is to seize air supremacy and provide combat support on the ground......"

"The reason why I gave you the establishment of the three brigades of the Blue Army before was to test the coordination between the various branches of the military on the real future battlefield. In war, no branch of the military can be inadequate. Every branch of the armed forces and every post has a bearing on the trend of the entire war. The establishment of three brigades is a very great pressure on your funds, but for our military, this establishment can completely build a modern army of joint operations......"

Long Yaohua suddenly explained why he had to give three brigades the establishment in the first place.

You know, at that time, there was a million-dollar disarmament going on in the country.

Liu Yijiu didn't think about these things at all.

"The reason why a lot of our equipment is not equipped is not because we don't know the importance. The construction of the whole country is centered on economic construction, and all policies and guidelines are inclined toward economic construction, and the progress of military development will certainly be affected. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly study technology, and start equipping troops after no technology has been used in equipment. The lack of money is the main reason, not that we don't recognize the role of these equipment! ”

Long Yaohua's words, for Liu Yijiu, are like an initiation.

He has always believed that the bigwigs above do not have a sufficient understanding of the importance of advanced weapons and equipment.

"So, you're fooling us with this downgraded version......"
