Great Power Fighting Falcon

"External weapons can only be controlled by the captain and co-pilot, so when external weapons and ammunition need to be used, the weapons operation team is responsible for determining the target, and the crew is responsible for launching."

Li Yunxiao said, "Captain, we need to determine as soon as possible whether external weapons and ammunition are needed. The launch procedure needs to be programmed according to the actual mounted weapons and ammunition. Yang Shuwen is responsible for this aspect."

As he said this, he pointed to a colonel and asked him to come over.

Yang Shuwen stepped forward and said, "Captain, I am an ordnance engineer. The fire control system of Gaoxin-P is quite special. To use external weapons and ammunition, it needs to be programmed in advance according to the type and model of the weapons and ammunition, and then it can work normally. Weapons and ammunition are used, so it is necessary to determine the external weapons and ammunition to be used some time in advance.”

A very young colonel, he is estimated to be in his thirties. He is in the prime of life. It is certain that he is a highly educated person. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to carry two bars and three stars at this age, unless he is like Niu Jun. A monster with two doctorates.

To Li Zhan's surprise, Yang Shuwen was very experienced when talking about the actual use of weapons and ammunition, and was not a mere technician who talked about it. This made Li Zhan quite fond of him. Some technicians have no problem with their skills, but they lack practical experience. It is not enough to just rely on theory, but must also connect it with practice.

For example, No. 81198 Lao Feibao, in theory, the overloaded fighter aircraft exceeding 8 G will disintegrate in the air, but in fact, it is only deformed, and even in the case of severe deformation, it can still fly back in the hands of experienced pilots.

Li Zhan said to Yang Shuwen, "I will come up with a list of external weapons and ammunition in a moment. You can prepare according to the list."

"Understood!" Yang Shuwen saluted and returned to his seat.

Li Yunxiao simply pointed to another colonel and said, "Zhu Lijun, mechanic."

Zhu Lijun saluted Li Zhan, and Li Zhan returned the salute.

Li Yunxiao pointed to the last one and said, "Wang Fei, avionics engineer, these three are the random support team."

Wang Fei is a civilian officer, equivalent to a deputy lieutenant colonel. He wears glasses and is polite. He salutes Li Zhan with a restrained smile. Li Zhan returns the salute and shakes hands with the three of them one by one. "I'll leave it to you to provide random protection." "

This kind of support team is usually only randomly assigned during test flights. There are no such people in the normal crew establishment. Of course, the Yun-9 crew will be equipped with mechanics, usually one cadre and one non-commissioned officer, but they are technical personnel, and Yang Shuwen and the others are technical researchers and members of the research team.

You can tell by looking at their levels and military ranks. There are two colonels and one civilian deputy regiment. Their standards are extremely high. Even Li Zhan could guess that this was because he wanted to go out to sea to fight pirates, and he was serious about it. Otherwise, the research team would like to cram as many people into the plane as possible, so that one more person can do more things.

In order to develop the Y-9, many senior technical personnel have been lost. It is truly a new tactical transport aircraft forged with passion.

Li Zhan spent more than an hour getting familiar with Gaoxin-P. In terms of familiarity, he has the most profound understanding of using aerial gunships and absolute practical experience above all else. This is the most important thing. As a secondary model of the Yun-8, there are no technical obstacles for Li Zhan to drive the Yun-9.

Li Yunxiao and others were simply amazed by Li Zhan's ability. In just over an hour, Li Zhan was completely familiar with the use of various systems of the aircraft, which is something that most pilots cannot do. No wonder the superiors asked Li Zhan to be the captain of this aircraft by name.

Later, Li Zhan wrote a list of external weapons and ammunition.

2 500kg standoff precision bombs (LS-6 rocket-assisted glide bomb, 500kg), 16 cluster bombs, 8 250kg precision guided munitions (LS-6 unpowered glide bomb, 250kg) ), 8 twin-mounted 90mm aviation rocket launchers (16 launchers, each loaded with 7 bombs), plus 4 PL-9 combat missiles.

Li Zhan did not hesitate at all about whether to use aircraft fire. As a member of our military's air force, Gaoxin-P cannot break the tradition of aircraft fire. Another important reason is that there are not many direct-fire weapons that the captain can directly control. Apart from the 730 multi-barrel aerial cannon on the nose, there are only aircraft fires.

What? Does Gaoxin-P have so many racks?

Gaoxin-P has reserved 22 rack installation positions, and all of them were installed before moving over. Cluster bombs, aircraft fires, and combat missiles all use multi-unit composite pylons. Cluster bombs are mounted in quadruples, and aerial fire and combat missiles are mounted in twins.

There are still two racks left.

Li Zhan wasted no time and hung up the comprehensive tactical pod, and another rack mounted a conformable inflatable lifeboat.

Because the Y-9 uses a high-wing monoplane and a turboprop engine, many locations on the wings are not suitable for mounting powered ammunition, so attack ammunition and aircraft fire are mounted on pylons under the belly of the aircraft. Four PL- 9 is hung at the wing tip.

It can be seen that Gaoxin-P is specially manufactured, otherwise so much external weight will definitely affect the wing. Moreover, Li Zhan had already discovered that the landing gear of the Gaoxin-P could actually be height-adjusted in order to meet the conditions for loading ammunition on the belly of the aircraft.

The main landing gear of the Yun-9 is very short. If the pylons are added, it will basically wipe the floor. There is no way to mount weapons and ammunition.

Obviously, the structural rigidity of the Gaoxin-P's body is definitely stronger than that of the ordinary model of the Y-9. No wonder the cost is so high.

All the ammunition required for airborne weapons has been replenished and the warehouse is full. Yang Shuwen and Zhu Lijun cooperated to guide the maintenance of Dachang station to carry out external weapons and ammunition operations. Over time, Gaoxin-P has truly become an aerial weapons and ammunition depot. The dazzling array of external ammunition makes heavy fighter-bombers such as the Su-30MKK and J-16, which claim to be aerial trucks, embarrassed.

The look of his teeth and claws exuding a strong sense of battle.

Li Zhan requested that the fuel be replenished to 80%, which is about 18.4 tons, which can provide an endurance of 5,000 kilometers and a flight time of about seven hours. He and Guo Beimu discussed that if the Tiger Squadron could not complete the mission within three hours, then the mission would be a failure. No matter how slow the West Pacific pirates are, they will not do nothing for as long as three hours. For this reason, he specifically asked Yuan Boning, who was more cautious and believed that failure to complete the arrest task within two hours meant that all members of the Tiger Squad had sacrificed their lives.

In view of the fact that the distance between Dachang Station and Bawang Islands is less than 700 kilometers, Li Zhan made the decision to carry only 80% of the fuel. In this way, the aircraft can be more flexible and not like a severely overloaded heavy truck. Climbing like that.

After finishing the preparations for the High-tech-P, Li Zhan and Guo Beimu rushed to the arched hangar where the Flying Shark Team was located, and immediately studied the support work with them on site.

Li Zhan said to Dai Wenming, "Captain, the main task of the Flying Shark Squadron is air cover, and the mounting plan is mainly anti-aircraft ammunition. I need two of the four J-15s to carry Thunder Stone 6 rockets. For precision bombs, at least four 500-kilogram bombs must be carried.”

Dai Wenming said, "You can arrange it directly."

Nodding, Li Zhan said to Han Hongjun, "Han Hongjun, take four 500-kilogram thunder stones with me to carry out long-range ground strikes. In addition, carry air-to-air missiles according to the standard air combat configuration. In this way, your take-off weight will be It’s two tons more than others, so you have to be aware of it.”

Han Hongjun said, "I understand, chief teacher, please rest assured!"

This is Li Zhan's trust in him.

The first step of the strike mission was clarified in the combat plan. The combat team was to launch off-zone precision attack munitions from more than 100 kilometers away to the airport runway on the main island of the Bawang Islands. Li Zhan chose the 500-kilogram LS-6 rocket. Boost precision guided bombs.

LS is a series with many styles. For the same 500 kilogram class, there are both powered models that can fly 200 kilometers, and unpowered models that can fly more than ten kilometers by gliding. They are very complete.

However, the guidance method is the same, using satellite guidance. Because the Beidou satellite system has not yet been fully popularized, the LS series uses civilian GPS signals with an accuracy of only thirty meters, so Li Zhan is not concerned about such a blow. Put a lot of hope on it.

Li Zhan looked at Yang Fan and Gu Mingmu and said, "The Thunderstone bomb uses civilian GPS signal guidance, and its accuracy is very average, so everyone must be mentally prepared to fight against the enemy's elite fighters at any time. You must control the battlefield airspace, at least Keep me safe.”

"Chief Teacher, I won't let even a fly get close to you, please don't worry!" Yang Fan said seriously.

Gu Mingmu said, "If I want to shoot you down, I have to shoot me down first. Please don't worry, Chief Instructor!"

Whether the capture mission can be successfully completed depends entirely on Gaoxin-P and the Tiger Squadron. Gaoxin-P is the most important combat unit. It is not only responsible for airdropping the Tiger Squadron, but also has the important task of providing fire support to the Tiger Squadron at any time. Even attack and destroy key enemy targets!

"I believe you will make those pirates frightened by the news. I will wait until the operation is over to draw a five-pointed red star for your war eagle!" Li Zhan patted Yang Fan and Gu Mingmu heavily on the shoulders.

The four members of the Flying Shark Team quickly started preparations.

And what about Chengda?

After returning from the front line to the Fertile Land Naval Flying Training Base, he was left with a new mission - to lead a small team to the Light Strait area for combat training to contain the pirate power in the northern part of the West Pacific.

All the fighter planes were preparing nervously. The maintenance personnel at the station, especially those responsible for ammunition, were so busy that they pulled out a large amount of ammunition that they would never use at ordinary times and put it on the designated fighter planes, so that everyone felt a little uneasy. It's balanced - it's a pity that it's not the fighter plane of our Bald Eagle Division!

The Tiger Team continues to study the combat plan in depth, discuss and think over it over and over again, and make sure nothing goes wrong. They are the main force among the main forces and the key among the key.

Li Zhan found Niu Jun and briefed her on the mission. He had to take her with him when he brought the integrated tactical pod. Only she was the most familiar with the use of the integrated tactical pod.

The integrated tactical pod can play a big role at critical moments.
