Chapter 975 The Standards Are Inconsistent

The helicopter is too important in Gao Yang's plan, so he can put everything aside first, but he also has to see the plane first.

There were many fighter planes parked on the runway of the airport. Gao Yang took a look and found that they were basically all MiG aircraft. The one that took off and landed most frequently was the MiG-27. During his arrival, there had been four sorties. Down.

A group of people left the runway in a mighty manner, passing behind the rows of fighter planes placed on both sides of the runway. After passing between the two hangars, they saw a large helipad.

Arriving at the tarmac, in a corner near the airport control tower, Gilanore pointed at three helicopters and said, "Major, those are the planes prepared for you."

Two Mi-24 Hind armed transport helicopters and one MiG-17 Hippo transport helicopter. Gao Yang already knows what they will get. This is not surprising. Syria is almost entirely Russian-made weapons. In terms of the helicopters it can provide, it can be said that Apart from these two, Gao Yang did not expect Syria to provide any other helicopters.

It can be seen from all angles that the Syrian side attaches great importance to this cooperation. Although the top person in charge of the airport did not show up and only sent a second lieutenant to greet them, there were people standing near the three helicopters. No need to ask, it must be the crew. personnel and specially arranged ground handling.

There are two pilots next to the two Mi-24 helicopters, and three people stand next to the Mi-17, because the Mi-17 has three crew members, ww∧w. In addition to the pilot and co-pilot, there is also a random mechanic.

Even if the flight performance of the Mi-17 is not as good as that of the Black Hawk, the most annoying thing is that the crew must be three people, and a random mechanic is indispensable. Maybe even remove a pilot. The random mechanic cannot be missing either. For Gao Yang, pilots are easy to find, but the Mi-17's random mechanics are so professional that it's really hard to find them.

Gao Yang has been worried about whether Israeli and Irene pilots trained in the West can fly Russian aircraft, after all, the cockpit and operating system. The instruments and the like were completely different from what they had flown before.

Fortunately, although Israel is not equipped with Russian helicopters, their training includes courses on how to fly Russian aircraft. After many wars, the Russian weapons captured by Israel were stored by Israel and used as imaginary enemy forces. equipment, or sealed up to deal with emergencies, so Jaclan and those old pilots have really practiced. Although they may not be very familiar, they are not too unfamiliar. You can fly once you get used to it.

Of course, the best way is to find pilots from Russia. After all, they are the ones most familiar with Russian aircraft, but unfortunately, good pilots have not been found yet, and Gao Yang really can't trust the Syrian pilots, given their poor record and only an average of thirty hours of flying time a year.

Several people walked to the side of the plane,

Jaclan and Irene, who were driving the transport plane, walked directly to the transport plane, but the four old pilots walked directly to the side of the Mi-24.

Gao Yang walked to the side of the Mi-24 helicopter, touched the twin 23mm cannons mounted on the nose, nodded and said, "Is this the Mi-24e model?"

Gilanore immediately said: "Yes, sir, both are Mi-24e models."

The two helicopters are equipped with 57mm rocket nests on the short wings, as well as a pair of AT6 anti-tank missiles, and a pair of 80mm rocket nests. The nose is equipped with twin 23mm cannons, which have very powerful firepower.

Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction, and the Syrian side took out all the good things from the bottom of the box.

At this moment, Gao Yang saw what seemed to be several much smaller helicopters placed on the tarmac in the distance. He pointed at the small planes he saw and said, "Is that a small antelope?"

Gilanore immediately said: "Yes, sir, sa342l Gazelle helicopter."

Gao Yang pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know if you have a small gazelle. Can you give us a small gazelle, modify it, and install a 12.7 mm caliber machine gun in the back seat space? Is that okay?"

If Grolev wants to participate in assault operations, his ability will be wasted. Gao Yang does not want a machine gun artist to stay on the Mi-24 to watch the fun, nor does he want Grolev to ride on the Mi-17 and then hold the machine gun as an assault What suits Grolev is to take a small and flexible helicopter to obtain an extremely good view in the air and carry out flexible and effective fire suppression.

Gao Yang made a new request, and Gilanor immediately said: "Sir, I will report your request to my superiors."

Gao Yang nodded, looked at the upright pilot standing next to the helicopter, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Second Lieutenant, we have our own pilots. As a whole, we will use our own pilots, but I need you." Provide a random mechanic of Mi 17."

Gilanore said solemnly: "If we can ensure that your pilots have sufficient capabilities, there is no problem, sir."

Gao Yang nodded and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about their abilities. I have full confidence in them. Thank you for your cooperation. Second Lieutenant, can you let our pilots check the mechanical condition now?"

Gilanore immediately said: "Of course, you can do it at any time."

Gao Yang snapped his fingers and said to Erin, Jaclan and the other pilots: "Do you know what to check?"

Jaclan laughed and said: "Of course, of course, hey, beauty, let's go in and take a look at the instrument first?"

When four veteran pilots from Israel got together, the oldest pilot pointed to the helicopter behind him and said: "We want No. 1."

The pilot opposite him immediately said: "No! We want No. 1!"

"we are the best."

"Pooh!"

"How does that compare?"

"Rather than flying, having a fight, or the most peaceful way, flipping a coin."

"Okay, flip a coin, do you have a coin?"

"No, it's more about whose flight time is longer."

"I have flown five types of aircraft for thirty-two years and more than 5,200 flight hours!"

"Oh, he's a nice guy, but I've flown all types of aircraft for thirty-five years and more than 6,500 flight hours."

The four old pilots gathered together and after muttering for a while, a gray-haired old man walked proudly towards the helicopter newly painted as Unit 1, while the other pair reluctantly walked towards Unit 2.

Gao Yang was dumbfounded. He had also flown a helicopter, but only a civilian model. He had twenty hours of flying experience accompanied by an instructor and twenty hours of solo flying experience. A total of forty hours, the United States got the flying experience. Driving license minimum.

Inspecting an airplane is not like inspecting a car, where you just open the engine cover. Inspecting an airplane is much more complicated.

The three pairs of people each got on the plane, entered the cockpit, turned on the power and looked at the instruments and other things. Then Gao Yang and others got out of the way, started the engine, and turned on the rotors on the ground. They tried the engine and other things for a while first, and then, the pilots did not mind Please leave the cockpit again if you have trouble. With the cooperation of the ground crew, open all the canopies and other places to take a closer look.

After reading it, the Israeli pilot who was not the oldest but had the longest flying time walked towards Gao Yang, then frowned and said: "My aircraft is a piece of shit! I refuse to fly. You heard that Is the engine sounding? My 80-year-old mother is in better shape than this plane! Much better!"

Anyone who can deal with Gao Yang can speak English. Gilanore was not happy when he heard this. He immediately frowned and said: "Sir, if you don't dare to fly, we have plenty of pilots!"

"I don't dare to fly? Haha, that's so funny! I'm not a ground crew, and I don't know the engine overhaul time limit for the Mi-17, but tell me, do you follow the Russian maintenance manual for care and maintenance? Do you have it?"

Jiranor frowned, but he didn't speak.

Gao Yang secretly screamed in his heart that it was terrible. He was not afraid of a conflict, but what he was worried about had happened. That is, the maintenance level of Syrian aircraft was as bad as what he had heard, or even worse.

Before coming to Syria, Gao Yang contacted Jihad many times, and Jihad assured that their aircraft would be absolutely fine. Unfortunately, Jihad and Gao Yang had different standards for reliability, and the most troublesome thing was Yes, Gao Yang was still inexperienced and thought that he and Jihad had the same standards for the reliability and safety of aircraft.

At this moment, Erin and Jaclan also got off the plane.

There is no need to be vague about a life-threatening matter, let alone to save face. Irene frowned, shook her head at Gao Yang and said, "Don't even open it to take a look. It's too poorly maintained."

Gao Yang sighed helplessly, and then said to Gilanore: "Second Lieutenant, can you send your best ground crew and mechanics?"

Gilanoel wanted to say something, but in the end he said with some sadness and anger: "It's all here."

Gao Yang understood Gilanore, and he must have felt a sense of humiliation at this time. The country was poor and the army was weak, and he was judged by a group of outsiders, saying that this was bad and that was not good. As a soldier, it was strange that he could feel better.

But the fact is the fact. Gilanoel is a technical talent. He should know what the facts are, and the fact is that what Gao Yang and the others said is right.

Gao Yang was a little helpless. At this time, the old pilot said: "I'm not afraid of being shot down by missiles or anti-aircraft guns in the sky, but I can't accept flying a plane with problems. Being shot down is my problem, but if it falls due to mechanical failure, I But I can't stand it. If you want to fly these aircraft, you must carry out proper maintenance, comprehensive, meticulous and systematic maintenance to ensure that there are no problems, so you can either give me an excellent mechanic to take charge of my aircraft. Or I leave.”

Erin said with a tangled look on her face: "Sir, this plane is really not good. It may fly ten or a hundred times without any problems, but it may fall off the first time it takes off. This, this is really not guaranteed."

After Gao Yang scratched his head, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, we still have time, the people haven't arrived yet, wait for me for three days, and I will find you an excellent mechanic to ensure that your plane is safe. "
