Chapter 852 Arrival

Huaxia, Chengdu Military Region, 6th Aviation Second Regiment.

As an air force directly under the military region, the 6th Aviation Regiment has a long history. It was the first unit to come into contact with the 'Black Hawk' helicopter, and it can be regarded as the Chinese unit that knows the 'Black Hawk' the most.

'Black Hawk' has been in China for more than 30 years, and it is still the main force of Air China. Although it is a bit old, the army still loves it very much-no way, there are not many helicopters that can be used in plateau areas. But the land of Huaxia is so vast, and the terrain is too complicated.

Captain Qiu Ronghua led the crew to complete daily training and carry out maintenance work as usual. Compared with the exhausting maintenance work of the Mi-17, the 'Black Hawk' is much simpler. But without waiting for Captain Qiu to take a break after work, he was transferred overnight with several crew members and ground crew of the Second Regiment with a single order.

"Immediately after receiving the order", there is no room for bargaining with the superior's order, and it is urgently urged, and the destination is the magic city. Captain Qiu knew that this must be a confidential task, so he arranged the follow-up work and led the team out immediately.

Fly directly from Chengdu to Shanghai, and then take a car to the military port in the direction of Tianjin. When we arrive at the port, we see a huge container ship being loaded and unloaded.

"Why did you drag us all this way?" Everyone including Qiu Ronghua murmured in their hearts. Judging from the guard post at the port, it is obvious that the outside is loose and the inside is tight, and the containers loaded and unloaded are very important.

"I guess it has something to do with the helicopter, and it has something to do with the 'Black Hawk'." Someone made such a judgment.

Qiu Ronghua also agreed with this, because the crew and ground crew who came here were all familiar with the 'Black Hawk', and even the technicians who were responsible for the flight and testing when the 'Black Hawk' was introduced back then. With this posture, one can tell at a glance that most of the containers are 'Black Eagles'.

'Black Hawk' is a good thing, and it has been developed and produced for decades, and it is not outdated at all. But the United States has embargoed it, and rabbits can't buy it even if they want to.

After the container was unloaded, Qiu Ronghua, as the captain with the highest military rank, personally opened a container numbered 'oo1' with several personnel from the national security. As soon as the door of the box was opened, he was overjoyed, "It really is 'Black Eagle'."

Black and gray paint job, nose with raised leading edge, wide cockpit. Seeing this, Qiu Ronghua couldn't help laughing, and asked the national security personnel who opened the box together: "Good job, you smuggled it from abroad? It's amazing!"

"The source is confidential, don't ask. Your job is to reassemble these helicopters and conduct test flights." The national security personnel did not disclose any information.

The helicopters in the container are shipped with the external components such as the rotor and tail rotor removed, along with the corresponding assembly and test instructions and special tools, and a full set of equipment.

Regarding the cautiousness of the national security personnel, Qiu Ronghua smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He wanted to confirm the models of these helicopters first. After all, the 'Black Hawk' is Sikorsky's signature product, and there are many improved models. But it's okay even if it's an old model, rabbits are not picky about this stuff.

But when all the containers were loaded onto the truck, Qiu Ronghua was taken aback by the number of containers, "How many are there?"

"A total of 50 containers, 24 of them were approved, with supporting maintenance parts and even spare motives." The national security personnel did not hide this.

"Twenty-four? Or batch? Is this really smuggling? What's the difference between this and the official introduction?" Qiu Ronghua was really surprised.

Twenty-four "Black Hawks" were introduced in the 1980s. After so many years of use, four have been damaged. It's good now, twenty-four planes have been replenished at one time. It seems that there are more behind.

All the staff who were preparing to pick up the plane suddenly became very enthusiastic, thinking that this is a good thing that the country has acquired at a high price. You must know that although the imitation of the 'Black Hawk' Z-20 is already undergoing the final test flight, the problem of production is a big trouble.

Twenty-four 'Black Hawks', that's two flying brigades. The Chengdu Military Region is responsible for combat missions in the southwest, where the altitude is high.

It must be a powerful 'Black Hawk'. This batch of 'Black Hawks' could really come in handy.

The owner and the container were quickly transferred from the port to Inner 6 Airport for subsequent assembly. And even bigger surprises are still waiting for Qiu Ronghua and others. They soon discovered that these 'Black Hawks' were not second-hand goods, but the latest uh-6om currently in service in the US military.

This is Sikorsky's model for mid-term life extension missions for the U.S. military. The new wide-chord composite rotor is especially suitable for high-temperature plateau environments and reduces maintenance costs.

The new digital cockpit reduces pilot workload, improves crew situational awareness and provides new communication capabilities. Moreover, the power of the engine has been increased again, and the avionics and other equipment are all the latest.

"Hahaha..., this is really a shotgun change!" Although these 'Black Hawks' are second-hand, their performance is much better than the old ones equipped by Huaxia more than 30 years ago. Just a digital cockpit can make Qiu Ronghua and other crew members laugh.

Although there is a lot of unfamiliarity with the new equipment, there is no doubt that this batch of 'Black Hawks' is worth the money, and the accompanying tooling equipment is also very complete, and even equipped with a special training video, basically teaching people hand in hand. How to use this batch of 'Black Hawk'.

Due to unfamiliarity, the first uh-6om took a whole week to complete the assembly. However, when the first short ground test flight was carried out, after Qiu Ronghua personally drove the "Black Hawk" to complete a few minutes of take-off, hover and landing, all the crew and ground crew involved in the mission cheered and laughed.

"Not bad, not bad, very easy to use. Laomei's ability to make weapons and equipment must be affirmed. Good things are good things." Qiu Ronghua said several advantages of this batch of 'Black Eagles' in one breath, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. .

He couldn't help but asked the national security personnel who had been present all the time: "For these good things, you must have spent a lot of money?"

This is the active equipment of the U.S. military, and the export price is 35 million U.S. dollars each, and it is only given to so-called "friendly" countries. Rabbit wants it, but Eagle Sauce is not for sale, they are so arrogant!

From Qiu Ronghua's point of view, it must have been smuggled just by sneaking into the country. With such a large-scale smuggling, the cost is probably more expensive than 35 million US dollars. It's just that the national security personnel just smiled and said nothing, only asking if the goods are worth it?

"It's worth it! Of course it's worth it. Although it's a bit old, it can last at least ten or even fifteen years if you take good care of it." Qiu Ronghua's old 'Black Eagle' has changed several batches of pilots, but the equipment is still in good condition. use.

"As long as it's easy to use, don't ask about the price." This is what the national security personnel wanted. In fact, the entire assembly and flight test process was evaluated in detail.

The superiors gave Guoan a task - to make a correct valuation of these 'Black Hawks', as much as they should, and we will not take advantage of it. We also count on the remaining hundred Black Hawks to be of the same quality.

Don't look at the domestic singing and dancing in China, but the world is not peaceful now. Rabbit is extremely hungry for military helicopters, and now he is constantly expanding his military strength. And a 6th aviation regiment only has fifty or sixty helicopters, and more than 100 helicopters are equivalent to adding two 6th aviation regiments.

If they are all the latest 'Black Hawks', the increase in combat power is obvious. You can't waste food because of choking, and mix up the subsequent business - now the uncle has plenty of money, but lacks equipment. If it can be sold for money, I dare to buy a dozen of Yingjiang's aircraft carriers.

After the test flight by Qiu Ronghua and others, a preliminary conclusion was drawn: these 'Black Hawks' were in good condition, and their performance was higher than that of our army's existing equipment. Although it is a second-hand product, its flaws are not hidden, and it is worth continuing to import.

What surprised Qiu Ronghua and others the most during the entire assembly process was that a strange guy emerged from the fifty containers.

"What the hell is this?"

"This is not 'Black Hawk'!"

"Holy shit, the person who smuggled this stuff can make Ying Jiang vomit blood." 8
