Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 40 Playing Concepts
People in a certain sense of divination, after the fourth Indian war point. 【Full text reading】The exhibition is the most ashamed... and Army Aviation.
From another point of view, the fact that the army aviation has been able to make great strides is precisely because it needs to make great efforts to resolve the dispute between southern Tibet, the crisis on the peninsula, and the conflict in South Asia.
In the Peninsular War, the Republic Army Aviation made its debut in the republic's army aviation.
Although throughout the Peninsula War, the Army Aviation that accompanied the air assault mainly played the role of low-altitude strikers, played a vital role in dealing with the armored forces of the US-South Korean coalition, and also provided the most powerful support for the attacking forces during the large-depth and fast assault, and at some times, even the only combat unit that could provide timely fire support to the ground troops, but in this war. The tactical transport capabilities of the Army Aviation have been put to the test, especially in previous campaigns, and the fast transport capabilities provided by the Army Aviation have provided the strongest support for combat operations. In Pei Chengyi's words after the war, if he did not have the tactical airlift capability of the Army Aviation, he would not have regarded the annihilation of the US Marine Division as the main goal in the first battle, and at most would only consider defeating the US army. The mother is undoubted. Crush and annihilation are two completely different concepts. Judging from the situation, if the two US Marine Divisions break through the Wulao defense line with losses and retreat to the south of the 38th parallel, then in the third battle, Pei Chengyi will have to deploy more main forces on the flanks to guard against the strategic counterattack of the US army. The combat operation of the assault on Seoul was affected. In this way, even if the U.S. and South Korean coalition forces are still defeated, the final outcome of the Korean Peninsula War will be completely different, and it may even lead to Japan's entry into the war.
It is well known that the War of India was the most thoroughly manifested war by the Army Aviation of the Republic.
If the Vietnam War from the Century Era to the Blade Era was a war of helicopters, then the Indian War of the Middle Age of the Century Blade was a war of vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft. According to the relevant data released by the Republic after the war, during the entire war, the Army Air Force persuaded a number of ugly vertical take-off and landing transport planes to carry out a total of nearly 10,000 flight missions, accounting for the total number of sorties flown by the aircraft during the war, transporting officers and men to the front line, and transporting 10,000 tons of tactical airlift materials to the front line. These statistics are enough to prove that the army aviation played a very important role during the war.
In addition to performing battle-hung airlift missions. The main task of the Army Aviation is close air support.
Because there were serious differences between the army and the tactical aviation on the ownership of the aircraft, the army aviation also assumed the heavy responsibility of close air support while maintaining the low-altitude attack aircraft group. Throughout the Indian War, the Army's low-altitude attack aircraft groups performed close-range air support missions of jumping and jumping, while the Air Force's tactical aviation mainly carried out battlefield interdiction and focused bombing missions. Although the fundamental intention of the Air Force was to use the Indian War to delegate power to the Army and thus improve the status of the tactical aviation force, the actual result was the opposite, and the outstanding performance of the Army Air Force's low-altitude attack aircraft group strengthened Xiang Linghui's idea of supporting the Army Aviation and finally determined the status of the Army Aviation Corps. In the words of Lee Dong-seok, who participated in the Battle of Ranchi, was promoted to major general after the Indian War, and became the commander of the 10th Combat Unit, the Airborne Brigade was able to hold Ranchi and defeat more than 100 times the enemy, thanks to the Army's low-altitude attack aircraft group. Under the circumstances at that time, limited by various factors, such as Ranchi being in the enemy's rear, being too young a kilometer away from the nearest artillery position, and the maximum range of the electromagnetic cannon at that time was only 3 concave kilometers, the air force concentrated its forces on striking India's strategic targets, so only the army aviation could support the airborne troops, and in many cases, it was the "air artillery" of the airborne troops. The new address of this site has been changed to: Regret Heart. 8, so please read the law!
It can be seen from this that there are only two main tasks of the army aviation, namely, tactical support and tactical airlift.
Comparatively speaking, the latter is more important.
At the tactical level, there are two indicators to measure the strength of the army, one is the ability to project firepower, and the other is the ability to project troops.
Although many people think that the former is more important, in fact, the ability to project troops is more important. The requirements are also higher. If nothing else, after the war entered the mechanized era, the problem of fire projection was solved. Whether it is artillery or aviation, it plays the role of a firepower projector. In World War II, which is the representative of mechanized warfare, both warring sides had a sufficiently powerful firepower projection capability. However, the United States is the only one that really has sufficient troop projection capabilities. Throughout the Second World War. Only the United States can project forces sufficient to defeat the enemy in the Pacific and European theaters. And finally defeat the enemy. After entering the information age, firepower projection is no longer won by quantity. Rather, it is won with precision, so the need for firepower delivery capabilities in the war has changed. Quality replaces quantity, and technology becomes the key to success. As another factor in success, there has been no substantial progress in the means of force projection. In fact, even during the war in India. Force projection remains a very serious problem.
A key factor in the Republican Army's ability to determine the situation on the battlefield in the Indian War was to maximize its force projection capabilities.
According to Pei Chengyi's summary report after the war, among the factors for victory, the fast delivery force ranked second, second only to the node-based network information command system. According to the statistical report submitted by the Army Airlines, during the war in India. The average daily dispatch rate of the fleet is over. Because the war in India lasted almost half of it. In other words, during this half-year period, it is necessary to ensure that there are 2 sorties per day, so this can definitely be regarded as a non-joint view of the porcelain. Peacetime. The average daily sortie of the Sidazhang group is lowly and does not return sorties, that is, once every two days. If you switch to a vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft using a conventional power system. For example, in the United States, the average daily sortie rate based on half a year must be about one sortie, that is, every three days. In fact, most of the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft using the transmission power system must be overhauled after successive power sorties, overhauled after four consecutive sorties, and returned to the factory for overhaul after continuous flight sorties. During the entire Indian War, many of the planes that persisted until the end of the war continued to fly sorties, during which only two overhauls and overhauls were carried out, and the accident rate was less than 3 per 10,000. If it were to be replaced by one to one, I am afraid that the accident rate would reach more than three percent. Thus. How good the tactical airlift capabilities of the Army Aviation are.
After the Indian War, affected by the military reform, that is, the tactical airlift was all in charge of the Army Airlines, the Air Force abolished the tactical transport aircraft group, and concentrated on replacing all the old and small occupations, and mentioned the small old early models of general transport aircraft, the Army Aviation found the main direction, that is, to improve the tactical airlift capability, through the development of the general platform, the development of alternative... Low-altitude attack aircraft of Luan.
In fact. It is also impossible for the Army Aviation to develop two tactical platforms at the same time.
To put it bluntly, even if Lu Airlines had money, such a profit calculation would not be approved.
Leaving aside for the time being whether the Ministry of Defense will approve the two tactical air platforms, in the case that the entire army family does not have enough to eat, the army aviation will show its wealth everywhere, and there will certainly be no good results.
In response to this situation, the Army Airlines has adopted the exhibition policy of "saving the country by curve".
At the beginning of the calendar year, the Army Aviation proposed the development project of a "universal tactical air platform", and obtained the approval of the Equipment Office, and obtained the start-up funds, because of the superior performance of the Army Aviation in the Indian War, coupled with the annexation of the Air Force's tactical transport fleet, so the Army Aviation obtained independent budgetary power. At the end of the year, when the national defense budget for the financial year was formulated, the development plan of the army aviation was affected. In accordance with the requirements put forward by the newly appointed defense minister, the Army Aviation should not spend tens of billions of dollars to develop a brand-new air platform, but should try its best to tap the potential of existing equipment, provided that it is not outdated. Fortunately, Lu Airlines had already made preparations and spent most of the research and development funds applied for on the improvement of the stone platform.
In fact, from the very beginning, the company did not intend to develop a completely new air platform.
When applying for the development project, the idea of the army aviation was to improve the development of the aircraft and start a new research and development plan, the main purpose of which was to complete the accumulation of technology and lay the foundation for opening a better air platform in the future.
Judging from the actual situation, the dish is fully capable of meeting the needs of future operations.
Lu Airlines did not rush to propose. For example, the standard combat mass of the main battle tank is a blade ton, so the standard air transport capability of the army aviation tactical transport aircraft should be based on this, and it is generally possible to put it into a paste, and when it is designed, it requires a standard air transport capacity of millitons to spinning tons.
Although according to the general practice, or the practice of Western countries, because the development cost and development cycle of the air transport platform exceed that of the ground main battle platform, the main performance indicators of the transport aircraft should be determined in accordance with the assumption of future wars, such as air transport capacity, cargo compartment size, and endurance capacity. Then the performance indicators of the transport aircraft are used to determine the technical indicators of the ground main battle platform. However, there is an irreconcilable contradiction in this development method, that is, the tactical performance of the ground main battle platform is often affected by the over-accommodating strategic performance, resulting in difficulty in completing the combat mission. Take the US Army's "Stryker" wheeled armored vehicle as an example, because it needs to be transported by air by concave transport aircraft, its basic weight must be controlled at about a force ton, so that its protective ability is greatly affected, and it can only be used in low-intensity ground battles, and has almost no survivability in high-intensity war cattle, especially in armored warfare.
In response to this request, the Republic Army adopted an inverted development method, that is, first developed a ground main battle platform. Then, the technical indicators of the ground main battle platform are mainly the combat weight and external dimensions to develop the air transport platform, so as to ensure the combat performance of the surface main battle platform to the greatest extent.
Exactly. Until dish 3 old with.! Qin's technical indicators were introduced, and Lu Airlines began to improve.
In fact. The improvement project of the concave, that is, the later Bidahui, is not complicated by 10,000. It is an improved model for export on the basis of the model, mainly to cancel some equipment that is only available to the army of the republic, and to add some minor equipment according to the requirements of customers. The reason is very simple, the main technical indicators of the batter lead and notch are basically the same as the initial model, even if the exchange is not improved, it can be transported by air. Of course, in the case of relatively abundant funds, coupled with the overuse of the air fleet during the war in India, the aircraft structure was seriously strained, and the cost of life extension improvement is not much lower than the cost of purchasing a brand new aircraft, so when it is necessary to replace the transport fleet, the army aviation has enough reasons to improve the aircraft and purchase a better transport aircraft.
When determining the improvement index, the army aviation made it clear that the new transport aircraft should be heavier than the 3 old or Zhaoyi Jin by air without making any preparations, and then the new address of the station has been changed to: heart. 8, so please click to read! With ": inch larger. And in the case of not stopping at the small air-load source voyage, Zongcheng Shanmi's air transport mission is equivalent to retaining the endurance of the old minutes, on the basis of retaining the endurance of the old minutes, the full-load endurance should reach 44,000 meters, and 4 airlift missions should be carried out within concave hours. Although the army aviation did not put forward more specific performance indicators, such as cruising degree, flight altitude, whether to adopt modular design, etc., but from these overall technical indicators, the improved transport aircraft must have a cruise degree of more than 4,000 meters. In addition, the preparation time before take-off is reduced to less than a few minutes, which requires a modular design of the energy system and cargo hold. To a certain extent, such high requirements are equivalent to the development of a completely new transport aircraft.
In fact, that's exactly what the Army Airlines did.
When the fart is finalized, except for the power system and the main load-bearing structure, the other parts are all newly developed, and the versatility of the dish concave is less than 3. In the whole system, the most innovative is the modular "cargo carrying and maintenance platform", which is completely independent of the cargo compartment and crew compartment. Removing the cargo or crew compartment is an aircraft with only a fuselage load-bearing structure, wings, energy system, and propulsion system. When performing transport tasks, the cargo compartment can be mounted according to different tasks or the cargo compartment cargo compartment is divided into pressurized sealed cargo compartment and open cargo compartment, and the work of connecting the cargo compartment and the crew compartment is completed by the pilot remote control, and it only takes minutes. That is, before the arrival of the transport plane. Prepare the cargo or crew compartment and take minutes to reconnect. As a result, the time spent by transport aircraft at the airport to load and unload cargo and personnel will be significantly reduced. The efficiency of air freight has been greatly improved. What's more, the modular design of the cargo compartment and crew compartment has great flexibility, which can carry different materials or different types of personnel according to different tasks, such as carrying standard air containers with combat equipment, or carrying stewed liquid containers. If necessary, it was even able to carry several tons of bombs on bombing missions.
That's why the new platform is non-humble and versatile.
In fact, it's definitely a completely new concept.
Use. After that, tactical transport aircraft and low-altitude attack aircraft will be merged into one, and all aircraft that are even less anachronistic will be eliminated.
Among other things, at the request of the Army's combat units, the Army Aviation invested in an "air fire support system" system. Summoned and hanged, equipped with tons of ammunition for fighters, it has a devastating strike capability against any ground Japanese standard.
According to information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency. To the secret thug now hosts the module.
Although the size of the fleet is not large. But the air freight capacity is not bad, it is equivalent to a rack. Say. What's more, the company has signed a confidentiality contract with AVIC, which produces Shao 2 Hui, that is, when necessary, AVIC must unconditionally meet Lu Hai's needs, and as compensation, Lu Airlines will try to obtain an export license for the ugly or specifically for export development of 2 Hui, and will act as an "image ambassador" free of charge.
In fact, there are indeed a lot of countries that are interested in this completely new concept of airborne tactical platform.
Before the end of the year, a number of countries have asked AVIC for a letter of introduction and expressed their willingness to purchase. This includes France and Ukraine. That is, even the European Union and Russia are interested in Biva. The problem is that as the latest air tactical platform, Izushi involves too many key technologies, so the authorities of the Republic have not issued export licenses. According to external estimates. Even if the authorities of the Republic export horses in the form of "special cooperation", they will only sell them in small quantities to allies with whom Pakistan and Argentina have particularly good relations, but in recent years, Western countries, mainly the United States, have been able to offer them. Before the 10,000-rival vertical take-off and landing transport planes, the authorities of the Republic will try their best to sell the dish in order to maximize the profits. For AVIC, this is not necessarily a bad thing, first. Go back to make a profit, and then make a profit on the bottom, why not? The new address of this site has been changed to: Heart. 8.

Of course, Pei Chengyi cares. How quickly can the army air expand its fleet?
To this, the Military Intelligence Agency gave a very clear answer. Because. Blank with. The latter is the world's best-selling vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, and the production cycle has been scheduled to the end of the field, and AVIC Group at least has a Luo production line in full operation, so after making a war decision. Correct, within the month will be. The amount of sinks is increased to more than the shelf.
There is no doubt that if there is a jumper than 2, the transport capacity of the army aviation will be the transport of the air force.
According to Pei Chengyi's estimate, it only takes 2 pounds to make a rack of dishes to support the entire Middle East
Contend.
In any case, the strength of the army aviation should not be underestimated, and the explosive power is even stronger. It can be said that the situation of the army aviation is the most true reflection of the achievements of the third military reform. Comparatively speaking, the Air Force, which competes with the Army Aviation, has a much better time than the Army.
