Chapter 394: Military Strength Enhancement (3)
The number of the Wehrmacht has reached more than 2 million, ranking first in the world, but there are only about 900 military helicopters.
It seems to be a lot, it can rank third in the world, only less than the Lijian country and the Rakshasa country, but if you only count the average number of officers and soldiers, not to mention compared with the developed countries in Europe and the United States, it is even inferior to some second-rate countries, and even far below the world average.
In developed countries, on average, there are more than 140 military helicopters per 10,000 army officers and men, accounting for more than one-third of the total number of military aircraft of the three armed services and more than 10 times that of the national defense forces in this respect.
This situation is not commensurate with the size, population size, and market demand of Xinhua, nor does it match the size and tasks of the army.
The earthquake in '08 was damaged by complex terrain and strict traffic, and only helicopters could quickly enter the affected area to carry out search and rescue work.
It was also this earthquake disaster that made everyone feel the shortage of helicopters in Xinhuaguo.
Not only is the quantity insufficient, but the quality is also worrying, most of the helicopters of the Wehrmacht are old models, and there are not many helicopters that are really domestically produced, and it is not too much to say that they are "Wanguo brand", and there is no reasonable proportion of allocation, especially the lack of heavy helicopters.
The birth of rare earth nano batteries and the successful development of new aviation DC motors have brought a new year to the helicopters of the National Defense Forces.
Taking the armed helicopter as an example, after the all-electric modification, its maneuverability and flexibility have been doubled, and it has a great advantage in helicopter air combat.
Helicopters have always been considered to be complex, expensive and expensive to maintain, with high fuel consumption and therefore short range.
The operation and maintenance of the DC motor are simple. The efficiency is as high as 97%. The total efficiency of the acceleration and deceleration mechanism of the turbine is only about 30%. The difference is huge.
Once the main rotor is driven by the electric motor instead of the turboshaft engine and reducer, the complex lubricating oil system, gear reducer, fuel supply system, etc. can be eliminated, and the high efficiency of the electric motor greatly improves the range of the helicopter.
Because the motor is fully enclosed, it is not afraid of sandstorms and birds at all when flying at low altitudes, and the safety performance is improved.
Helicopters are a priority project and there is not much space in the cabin, so the results are the highest-grade C-type rare earth nano-batteries with an energy density of up to 14 kW/h/kg. This has already exceeded the calorific value of jet fuel.
Taking the Wuzhi-10, codenamed "Thunderbolt", as an example, the maximum speed of the electric Wuzhi-10 has been increased from 290 km/h to 380 km/h after the transformation of the electric motor; The range was increased from 1000 km to 2000 km; The maximum endurance has been increased from 3 hours to an astonishing 7 hours, and other performance such as usable load capacity and practical ceiling have been greatly improved, which is crucial for the gunship.
The electric motor is running with extremely low noise, which increases concealment, and the working conditions of the driver are greatly improved, allowing him to fully exploit his combat skills.
In order to rapidly increase the number of helicopters in the Wehrmacht, not only did the production lines of domestic helicopter manufacturers start working in full force, but also ordered a batch of helicopter casings that did not contain the power system from the Rakshasa country. for all-electric modifications, mainly heavy and utility helicopters.
……
Thousands of main battle tanks on active service with the Wehrmacht. Large-scale electrification has also been carried out, covering the newer Type 88, Type 96, Type 98, Type 99 and Type 03P amphibious tanks.
The DC motor is most suitable for tanks with extremely variable power requirements, after removing the internal combustion engine, with a 1400 kg B-type rare earth nano battery, its peak drive power reaches more than 1800 kilowatts!
This surpasses the German Leopard 2 series tanks, the Likenguo M1A2 series main battle tanks, and the Rakshasa T-90 tanks.
The increased power allows the tank to travel faster and more mileage.
And increased mobility means increased survivability.
With electric drive, several links in the middle are omitted, and the tank can be driven forward with a push of the speed lever, and in ten seconds, the tank can accelerate from a stationary state to the maximum speed, which is incomparable to the internal combustion engine tank.
By eliminating the cumbersome deceleration, power distribution, and oil systems, as well as eliminating the intake and exhaust pipes necessary for gas turbines, the huge fuel tank was reduced to less than a fifth of the battery compartment, allowing the extra space to increase the tank's bomb load.
The reduced weight also allows the armor of the tank to be strengthened, and modern main battle tanks are basically modular armor, and it is convenient to replace the armor block.
The independent electrically driven hydraulic system, which supports the hydraulic suspension system and the powerful two-way turret stabilization system, greatly improves the starting accuracy of the main gun.
The most obvious thing about the electric tank is that it is extremely quiet and travels at full speed.
When the electric motor is started, the heat is very small, almost no heat, and it cannot be like it at all on the thermal imager, and its concealment is beyond the reach of the internal combustion engine tank.
This is crucial on the battlefield, as many anti-tank missiles are guided by thermal imaging and electric tanks make many anti-tank forces useless.
The electric tank does not have the high heat of the engine, which also greatly improves the interior environment, and the expansion of the cabin space makes the crew more comfortable and more conducive to long-term and long-term combat.
After the electric transformation, these tanks have been reborn like "rebirth", and their combat effectiveness has been qualitatively improved, and they are more powerful than the latest models of tanks in various countries.
The transformation of the Wehrmacht's in-service equipment is only the first step in a major upgrade of military equipment, and in the future, the original design will be overturned and a new design of equipment electrification will be carried out
The use of rare earth nano batteries can not be said for three days and three nights, and in the military alone, from transport aircraft, helicopters, drones, tanks, armored vehicles, transport vehicles to submarines, warships, etc., the army, navy and air force are all-encompassing.
With the establishment of an initial relationship of mutual trust between the National Defense Forces and the Galaxy Military Industry, the scope of its orders has become more and more extensive, and all the equipment and components that cannot be manufactured by Xinhua at present have been purchased from the Galaxy Military Industry Trading Company, from radars, missiles to bearings, turbines, fan blades of aero engines, etc., including technical authorization.
With the help of the Galaxy Military Industry, the military aviation engine of Xinhuaguo has achieved 100% localization, and the WS-15 engine has been successfully improved.
Compared with the original, the thrust has been increased by nearly a quarter, the thrust-to-weight ratio is more than 11, and the vector tail spray is installed, its reliability has also been improved, the overhaul time has reached 10,000 hours, and the performance far exceeds the original design standard.
Thanks to this, the first small batch of J-20 fighters began to be produced.
At the same time, the J-31 is not far from being officially finalized, and the carrier-based aircraft model of the J-31 is already in test flights and will be equipped soon.
With the help of these important opportunities, the Wehrmacht ushered in a great change, and the military strength began to take off. (To be continued......)
