Qin Zhenhua would never have dreamed that he, who was engaged in tanks, would be mixed with helicopter gunships again, which was simply not a proper job.

However, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, since the opponent of the tank is a helicopter gunship, then it is necessary to study the helicopter gunship. On the battlefield of the future, helicopter gunships will really become a big threat to tanks.

Porcelain Town, Helicopter Design and Research Institute.

In the big country in the East, there are two units for the production of helicopters, one north and one south, and the production project of the Dolphin helicopter introduced from France is in the factory in the north, however, Qin Zhenhua did not take Pinar to the factory in the north, after all, there are also French people present there, if you go, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble, and in the south, the helicopter factory is set up in Porcelain Town, and at the same time, there are also helicopter research and development units in Porcelain Town, which is the only professional helicopter design and research institute in the Eastern country, so, Bringing Pinar here, it was the best choice.

However, when Qin Zhenhua walked into the conference room of the research institute, he was still a little surprised, here, he actually met an old acquaintance?

Professor Wang Limin and his wife Cao Jianli were all in the helicopter design institute, which made Qin Zhenhua feel surprised and seemed to understand something.

"Let me introduce to you, this is a foreign guest, and they plan to exhibit their various equipment at this year's international defense exhibition, including their helicopter gunship." Qin Zhenhua said.

"We are very welcome, and we express our great admiration for your achievements in all aspects of the military industry." Director Cheng Ming stretched out his hand to the other party and shook hands with several people from afar, and at the same time, he was also looking at Qin Zhenhua with grateful eyes, that look, as if to say, you are sending charcoal in the snow.

Qin Zhenhua still stumbled crookedly.

The most important thing in the formation of army aviation is to have a special armed helicopter, and it is impossible to purchase from outside, and it cannot meet the huge demand of the big countries in the East, so it can only be produced by itself, and what else can meet the needs in China? It's only Zhijiu.

In 1979, the original "Z-5" helicopter in China was discontinued due to backward performance, and the helicopter was in a state of inorganic follow-up. Although helicopters are a small category, they are indispensable; in this grim situation, the military and the aviation industry department have organized a helicopter inspection group to the United States, France, and Canada to inspect the production status, technical level, and sales of helicopters and their engines.

The first URL

Among them, the Bell 212/412 helicopter of the American Bell Company was originally the most promising bidder, after all, they thought that this helicopter had advanced performance, and it had entered the oil and other departments of the eastern powers, and had begun to be civilian, so the Bell company was the one who ate the contract.

It's just that, like other imported projects, the Bell company does not let go, exports technology and the like, and just wants to make money, so it was successfully bid for the SA365N/N1 "Dolphin" helicopter of the unknown French aerospace company, and the French provided all kinds of favorable conditions, as long as they can sell it, they succeeded, and in this way, they successfully snatched the contract from the Americans, and there was the reproduction and development of the Dolphin helicopter in the big eastern countries.

In fact, if we talk about technology, the Dolphin helicopter may not be comparable with the United States, but compared with the original helicopters of the eastern powers, it is too advanced.

The "Dolphin" helicopter has good flight performance, light structural weight, large payload, high reliability, long life and easy maintenance. Because it is only four tons, the power plant is two 520 kilowatt turboshaft engines, and most importantly, the helicopter and the supporting engine, the French will authorize the eastern powers to produce their own, so the purpose of the introduction of this helicopter is to absorb and digest and then master the advanced technology and advanced materials of international helicopter manufacturing in the 80s. In this process, promote the leapfrog development of domestic aviation technology, that is, helicopter technology.

Now, this plan is developing step by step, and at the same time, the army aviation, in fact, has already taken a fancy to this helicopter.

This doesn't need to be promoted by Qin Zhenhua, who is more anxious than the army aviation.

Now they only have single-digit Antelope helicopters, which are destined not to become the main force, and the other helicopters are all transport types, and if there are no modern helicopters, then the army aviation is a showcase.

Looking at the country, only the Zhijiu can take on the heavy responsibility, so under the entrustment of the Army Aviation Corps, the helicopter design institute began the process of converting the Zhijiu into an armed helicopter.

What is the most important thing for a helicopter gunship?

Weapons, of course.

Helicopters are the natural enemies of tanks, and if you want to fight tanks, armed helicopters are, of course, equipped with anti-tank missiles, and looking at the country, there are already mature Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missiles.

Wang Limin is engaged in anti-tank missiles, and his wife Cao Jianli is engaged in optical systems, that is, fire control systems.

Therefore, they came here to study this matter, and it just so happened that Qin Zhenhua sent them a big gift.

Pienaar was also very happy, in his eyes, this was an opportunity, a great opportunity, a good opportunity for him to sell.

"They are also very good at professional helicopter gunships." Qin Zhenhua said: "Now, I would like to ask Mr. Pinar to introduce it to you. ”

More pictorials were taken out, one per person, the big guy looked at the domineering gunship, and was immediately attracted by the same Qin Zhenhua at that time, this is what a real gunship should look like!

Pinar continued to brag.

The serial cab, how many advantages, sufficient engine power, so that this kind of aircraft has a strong battlefield survivability, even if one of the engines is destroyed, the power of the other engine is enough to maintain the hovering and landing of the aircraft, and so on.

A few people listened very carefully.

After Pinal's introduction, Cao Jianli first spoke: "Mr. Pinal, can you introduce us to the fire control system of your gunship?" ”

The other party just said a lot, but it just didn't say about the fire control system!
