Chapter 567 A New Generation of Air Platform to Replace Yun-8

Naturally, Ding Gaoheng couldn't know the content of Chang Haonan's slander, so he just regarded it as a normal emotion.

"Luck is only one aspect."

Ding Gaoheng leaned on the office chair in a quite relaxed posture, habitually putting a cigarette under his nose and smelling it:

"If we don't have the corresponding equipment, we won't be able to capture the submarine. Even if we happen to encounter it, there is a high probability that the target will be let go."

"The report submitted by the North Sea Fleet Carrier Aviation Corps also specifically mentioned the new equipment provided by the Ice Flying Group, saying that it played a very key role in handling the emergency."

After finishing speaking, he took out a more neatly bound report (a copy of course) from the file box that had just been placed below and handed it to Chang Haonan:

"Let's see."

"Although you have probably seen a lot of this kind of thing, I can't see enough anyway..."

Ding Gaoheng's thin face almost burst out with joy.

The fact that the army could write such a report, and even specifically thank the military-industrial system for its outstanding work, definitely made him look bad.

When a person reaches his age and status, there is not much room for him to climb higher.

It is inevitable to start thinking about your posthumous name.

In particular, Ding Gaoheng's father-in-law was the first head of the Republic's military industry system, which is similar in nature to his current position.

It is inevitable to be drawn out for comparison.

Although limited by the times, there should be no chance to accomplish such great achievements as two bombs and one satellite, but it still has to be left with a few strokes of color.

Of course, Chang Haonan's imprint is definitely indispensable here.

The landmark achievements made by the military industry system in the past two years are comparable to those in the previous ten years combined.

This does not include the impact on parts other than the military industry.

Opposite the desk, Chang Haonan quickly turned over the front part and went straight to the summary at the back.

This kind of serious report to be submitted to the top is not the kind of conclusion that is completely unclear. The whole article only has a valuable background introduction in the opening chapter.

It’s okay to pick and choose what’s important.

“The performance of the Z-9C aircraft has significantly exceeded that of the original French AS565 helicopter, especially in terms of range and mission load, but the ship-based helicopter force still hopes to further expand the mission scope and extend the mission time, which is very important for anti-submarine warfare. …”

"The French destroyer Jean Bart performed poorly in this operation. Diesel-powered ships are not suitable for anti-submarine warfare. The medium and low-frequency noise caused by the reciprocating piston propagates extremely far in the water, and the frequency is the same as when the submarine is sailing. The noise generated by the friction between the hull and the sea water is highly overlapped, which has a great negative impact on submarine search operations..."

"The anti-submarine warfare method of relying only on a small number of surface ships and ship-based helicopters cannot deal with the increasingly severe underwater threats around our country. Although this raid was successful, the initial discovery of the enemy submarine relied on coincidence, and the target submarine had already been It has entered the anti-ship torpedo range, so it is still necessary to strengthen the construction of our country’s anti-submarine capabilities..."

"In addition, the Navy's submarine force also needs new equipment. The long-term training of old submarines such as the Type 033 as imaginary enemies has seriously affected the combat readiness level of the People's Navy..."

"..."

The conclusion alone took almost three pages to write eloquently.

After reading it, Chang Haonan's first feeling was admiration.

Don't be arrogant when you win, don't be discouraged when you lose.

Even in the face of an operation that seemed to be a complete victory, the participating units still learned many lessons from it.

The People's Army has never been perfect, and has also experienced low periods due to various reasons that affected its combat effectiveness.

But he can always regain his strong combat effectiveness in a relatively short period of time, largely relying on his spirit of learning.

Not only are you good at learning from failures, but you are also good at learning from wins.

"The summary is very accurate, and it can be regarded as pointing out a direction for our comrades in the military industry system, especially those involved in naval equipment."

Chang Haonan closed the report and placed it on the arm of the sofa next to him.

Having said this, Ding Gaoheng put the cigarette under his nose back into the cigarette case and put away his relaxed expression:

"You probably don't know yet. The senior military leaders of the military took this matter very seriously. They even directly brought some of the grassroots commanders and fighters who participated in the operation to the capital and held several rounds of high-level equipment development strategy seminars."

"Such a big formation?"

Chang Haonan was stunned when he heard this.

This posture sounds a bit close to the bat hunting operation that went abroad to fight and finally shot down the MiG-25——

You must know that it actually achieved results, and it also involved a series of complex strategic considerations in the southwest. It also captured the physical jamming pod, which is very important for electronic technology.

As for the dike-building operation in response to the Royal Navy's provocation at the end of June last year, although the task itself was much more complex and grand in scale, the battle to sum up this aspect afterwards was much smaller.

If anything, I realized through the unreliable performance of the 8J that the air command platform still cannot completely rely on foreign countries, so the Air Police 200 was launched as a backup project.

"Of course."

Ding Gaoheng nodded:

"Although no actual results were achieved this time, the military significance of using a mine without a warhead to directly hit an enemy submarine is not much different in terms of military significance."

"What's more, we are facing the Japanese..."

Hearing this, Chang Haonan finally understood.

From a perceptual perspective, the vast majority of Chinese people still have different feelings towards Japan and Britain.

From a rational perspective, everyone knows that although the Royal Navy may sound famous, it is actually already a thing of the past.

Even if they could piece together a fleet, it would be a bit of a bluff, and it would be impossible to pose a real threat to China far away on the west coast of the Pacific.

However, as an important part of the so-called "first island chain", Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force has put a lot of pressure on it in this era.

After a brief pause, Ding Gaoheng continued:

"In general, this incident made us realize that the anti-submarine pressure faced by the navy is at least not weaker than air defense, so we are considering putting the construction of an anti-submarine warfare system on the agenda..."

When he said this, he didn't expect Chang Haonan to do anything.

Just think of it as finding someone to talk to about happy things.

However, although Chang Haonan's specialized business is not in naval equipment, his influence is reflected everywhere in the field of naval equipment...

"Speaking of anti-submarine, I remember that the turbojet 14 aeroderivative that was previously developed by the 606 Research Institute should have been delivered to the 701 Research Institute of the Shipbuilding Industry and has begun actual testing. It should be able to alleviate some of the navy's urgent needs in this regard."

If the 054 can be designed and finalized according to the plan of Deputy Chief Engineer Lin Qing, it will become a general-purpose frigate with anti-submarine specialties.

Ding Gaoheng slapped his forehead and shook his head with a wry smile:

"Look, I forgot that the power of the ship has something to do with you..."

"It's really hard to imagine... In about two years, you have come up with so many projects that transcend the times..."

The sudden appreciation even made Chang Haonan unable to react for a while. After a while, he waved his hand:

"This cannot be attributed to me alone. Comrades from the entire military industry system also contributed a lot..."

After a decent but not too modest response, he brought the topic back to the part he had just left unfinished:

"In addition, what is said in this report is reasonable. Helicopters and surface ships alone are indeed of little help in the complex sea areas around our country. We still have to consider equipping fixed-wing anti-submarine patrols like P3C or Il-38. The opportunity will do..."

"The only model we are waiting for right now is the Y-8. Although it is not unusable, judging from the progress of Shanghai Airline, the C808 passenger aircraft assembled from large parts should not take long to roll off the production line for its first flight, so it is better to slightly Wait, get on the jet platform in one step..."

C808 is the Tu334 passenger aircraft produced in accordance with Chinese standards and improved using some of Boeing's public patents.

For most special aircraft, it is a much better flying platform than the Y-8 Category III aircraft.

It is even better than the P8A that will use the Boeing 737-700 platform in the future.

Most importantly, since no parts from Western countries are used, there is no obstacle to converting it for military use.

"C808..."

Mentioning this model, Ding Gaoheng's eyes clearly showed some importance:

"I remember that the maximum takeoff weight of this model is about 50 tons. It should be slightly smaller than the Y8?"

Although he is not a leader from the aviation industry, he still knows the basic performance of this key model.

"It is smaller, but the cross-sectional area of ​​the C808's body is designed in accordance with the standards of mainline passenger aircraft. It is much better than the Yun-8 in terms of cabin volume, flight quality, effective range, reliability and lifespan."

Chang Haonan explained:

"Among other things, the range under full load is about 3,500 kilometers, which is more than twice the full load range of the Y-8 airtight model. Moreover, when the military platform is modified, the luggage compartment under the floor of the passenger aircraft can also be converted into a fuel tank. Further Extend the combat radius.”

"Furthermore, in the foreseeable future, our military's equipment construction will focus on territorial recovery operations in the southeast and southwest. Even if the endurance is slightly worse than that of the P3C, it will not suffer a loss due to its home field advantage."

“So, except for some models that really require take-off weight and ultra-large range, such as strategic reconnaissance aircraft or early warning aircraft, which need to wait for the larger C909 platform later, in fact, most special aircraft can be directly modified on the basis of this model. "

"And, there's one more thing."

Having said this, Chang Haonan paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words:

"I'm worried that the C808 model, at least initially, may not be so easy to open up the civil aviation market."

"Being able to play a role in the military special aircraft platform can be regarded as a guarantee of a guaranteed order, so that there will be no place to sell the aircraft after it is built."

"Moreover, military users are also users. On the one hand, they can give feedback on some problems and suggestions during use, so that Hufei can make targeted adjustments and improvements. On the other hand, it can also be regarded as a demonstration to foreign users, showing that we believe in the products we have made." There is no problem with the aircraft and it will help expand foreign markets."

This remark was put more tactfully.

In fact, Chang Haonan was worried that internal enemies would cause trouble and cause trouble in the aviation industry that he had finally pulled together.

The profits of the aircraft manufacturing industry are extremely considerable, and the operating space behind it is also quite amazing.

Under the leadership of the Science and Technology Commission, the development of domestically produced large aircraft has offended Boeing quite a lot. No one knows exactly how many people’s money-spinners they have secretly ruined.

As the C808 is the first model after the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense took over the civil aviation industry, countless pairs of eyes are staring at it.

Chang Haonan doesn't believe it if these people don't do anything small.

It can even be said that the fiercest battle in the civil aviation industry will not officially begin until the day when the C808 makes its first flight.

A few more layers of insurance will give you peace of mind.
