Chapter 972: The Defense Exhibition Opens
The equipment of the British also arrived.
The French were the first to come, and after they came, they immediately asked to choose the exhibition venue, and after some weighing, they still asked to be placed together with the exhibition venue of the first machine factory, and the location of the exhibition venue of the first machine factory was the best. This is also the power of the first comer.
And the equipment of the British, on the other hand, was the most numerous and the most massive.
Britain and France are two great powers in Europe, so the relationship between the two countries looks good on the surface, after all, it is a strong alliance, and in the previous war years, the two countries were often allied. However, when it comes to arms sales, it is also a natural competitor, and not long ago, after France had negotiated a cooperation, the British followed suit and pried the contract away.
So, after coming, the British booth chose to be far away from France, but next to the American booth, and now, the British wear the same pants as the Americans, and in all kinds of international affairs, the British follow the United States.
In the distant Falklands naval battle, the British crossed thousands of miles and finally won, so the British at this time also had some pride, with the afterglow of victory, came here to participate in the exhibition, and also sent a strong lineup to make money.
How powerful is it? On the day of the exhibition, Edwin Bramall, a heavyweight in the British army, also came to the scene, because of his noble status, so at the opening ceremony, when the ribbon was cut, Zhang Lao in China pulled Edwin and cut the red silk cloth together.
The whole venue was waving flags, colorful flags fluttering, the emblem and flag of the red helmet were also fluttering in the wind, in a burst of excitement and hustle, the audience who had been waiting outside for a long time, along the passage, walked into the venue, the whole venue, soon was crowded with people, and the crowd surged.
Qin Feng, who was wearing regular clothes, walked in the crowd, and in the busy test flight mission, he took time to come here to open his eyes.
After entering the door, there was a British booth on the side, he stopped in front of a booth and said to his wife beside him: "This big nose is the most lacking in our country at present, if only we could import a few units." ”
Gu Tingting, who was beside her, also nodded: "Yes, this is the prototype of the air early warning aircraft, however, its performance is not advanced, at most it is used in the navy, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find the target in the complex echo on the ground." ”
"If you are not mistaken, it should have been developed from the failed technology of the early warning aircraft of the Hunter." Qin Feng continued there: "It's a pity to hunt fans, but they can also be regarded as learning a lesson from failure, when the air early warning aircraft is not qualified, but when the radar of the maritime patrol aircraft is still good." ”
As a test pilot of the Air Force, Qin Feng is very clear about the lack of equipment in the Air Force, and the lack of air early warning aircraft is the biggest shortcoming, but this is not something that can be made up overnight.
Needless to say, in China, even in the UK, didn't it fail to develop itself? They installed two large bulges on the nose and tail of an anti-submarine plane, so that two radars at the front and rear shared a transmitter and worked intermittently at the front and rear.
It's a pity that the requirements are too high, the technology can't be reached, although the pulse Doppler system is adopted, the repetition rate is too low, the signal processing is too simple, and the antenna sidelobe is large. These have led to the frequent occurrence of false alarms, a large number of fixed targets can not be filtered, too many targets, the computer can not handle them, and they often crash.
What's worse is that because one transmitter drives two antennas, the reliability of the radar transmitter is too low, and the traveling wave tube often burns the circuit, and the average failure interval is only 17 hours.
The British Air Force naturally doesn't look down on such equipment, and plans to purchase E-3 early warning aircraft, and the huge investment in research and development projects cannot be wasted, so it has changed the name called Air Overlord and plans to sell it.
It is in the shape of a big nose, which is only mounted on the nose of the aircraft, and there is only one radar antenna, and the reliability is improved, and it is immediately easy to work at sea without having complex echoes on land.
Of course, since it can only be used at sea, it is impossible to provide air warning to the Air Force, and the Air Force does not need such low-grade goods, and it can only be seen.
The two walked past the booth and continued to move forward, looking at the banner of the emblem on display, Gu Tingting said, "Look, the emblem you designed." ”
"We designed it together." Qin Feng said.
Gu Tingting's voice was a little loud, many people heard it, and they all cast strange glances, and in the crowd, a young man of about the same age walked out and stretched out his hand towards Qin Feng: "Excuse me, are you Qin Feng, a test pilot of the Air Force?" ”
Originally, he just planned to use his private identity to take a look, but he didn't expect to be recognized here, Qin Feng touched his nose: "That's right, it's me, you are?" ”
"I'm from a machine factory, Qin Zhenhua." Qin Zhenhua stretched out his hand: "The emblem you designed is really good, and I thank you on behalf of the organizing committee." ”
As the organizer of this exhibition, by now, Qin Zhenhua has been able to retire successfully, of course, he has been busy for so long, and he doesn't care about the past few days, he originally planned to return to a machine factory after the exhibition is over, but now, he is wandering around the exhibition, but he didn't expect to meet Qin Feng?
At the beginning, this emblem made Qin Zhenhua hesitate for a long time, and he still had a pimple in his heart, how could he let the Air Force bargain? But now, I have been relieved, I heard that this Qin Feng is a famous test pilot of the Air Force, and it is much more dangerous to test a fighter than trying to drive a tank, a person like him is a national hero, and Qin Zhenhua also admires it very much.
"It's a great honor." Qin Feng said, the hands of the two people shook together: "The air and the ground are not separated, the future war will be the integration of the air and the ground, the air power and the ground power will be more closely combined, and we will definitely have more connections in the future." ”
Although it was not until the oil war in the nineties that the combined air-ground operations of the Americans were eye-opening and simply opened a new door, now, far-sighted people can still see this.
"Vacant land is not separated?" Qin Zhenhua's eyes also lit up: "What you said is great, the exhibition is the scene, we arranged it, now, I will take you around, let's go around here." Our army can also fight planes, this time, the booth in France also brought a Mistral air defense missile, and you can also have the opportunity to operate it yourself, I will take you over to have a look, go through the back door to let you feel the feeling. ”
