Chapter 485: Unmanned Su-30 without a Pilot

Chapter 485 Unmanned version of Su-30 without pilot

After blushing, Yemelyanov continued to argue: "No, no, what I said is true. The aircraft we produced in the domestic factory is equipped with the avionics equipment I mentioned."

"Well, of course we believe it, but if you want to impress our domestic customers, you have to show your true skills!" Qin Tao said: "For example, let's launch a live ammunition or something, let's take our navy as an example. , if it can carry KH-31 anti-ship missiles, then the Navy might place an order on the spot, and it would be necessary to buy it at all costs, but now this aircraft probably can’t launch anything, right?”

Wu Shengli still stood there with dissatisfaction on his face: "That's right!"

The modern class has been bought back. This kind of warship uses P-270, which is the 3M80 anti-ship missile. The appearance of this missile is very similar to the KH-31 air-launched missile introduced by Yemelyanov, but its size is There is a big difference.

Yemelyanov frowned.

What Qin Tao said is that the Eastern Navy and Air Force have no money, so it is estimated that they will not be able to purchase their Su-30 for the time being. However, since they have sent the aircraft all the way here, they always want to sell it. What if they can succeed?

Orientals may say no on the surface, but what if they feel it really smells good in their hearts?

However, the Orientals are not as easy to fool as Ah San, and they will not be bribed with money. What the Orientals want are real weapons, and they must rely on advanced weapon performance to impress the other party!

Yemelyanov's mind began to think rapidly.

Wu Shengli continued to speak there: "Currently, our navy has been equipped with the modern class, and we are very satisfied with the Sunzhi anti-ship missiles used on it. If the Sunzhi missiles can be modified and mounted on the wings of such aircraft, they can be launched. , that would be more convenient for our navy.”

Hearing Wu Shengli's words, Lin Hu shook his head: "How is that possible? It's a ship-to-ship missile. How could it be launched from an airplane? Besides, the weight of that thing is too great. The Su-30 should not be able to use it at all." There is no ability to mount it!”

"Why is it impossible? I just heard Mr. Yemelyanov explain that the KH-31 missile is very similar in appearance to our Sunburn missile!" After Wu Shengli finished speaking, he looked at Ye Melyanov expectantly. Melyanov: "Mr. Yemelyanov, is the missile you introduced an air-launched model of the Sunburn missile?"

Although the Sunburn missile is a name given by NATO, many people know it, and the domestic media also calls it that. Of course, Lao Maozi also knows it.

"No." Yemelyanov shook his head: "Our air-launched anti-ship missile is KH-31. This missile was developed by our domestic tactical missile design bureau Xingxing Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau in 1977. This missile officially entered service in 1988. Compared with the 3M80 missile, it has huge differences in size, weight, range, and power. In terms of diameter, one is 360 mm and the other is 760 mm. The length of the two Pretty much the same.”

"In other words, the performance of this KH-31 air-launched missile is very poor?" Wu Shengli asked.

"You can't say that. Our air-launched missiles are for easy portability by aircraft and only weigh a few hundred kilograms." Yemelyanov was a little incoherent.

"Oh, it's just a useless product. It's no different from our anti-ship missiles. The range is probably only a few dozen kilometers. It's meaningless. Our Feibao can mount it."

The meaning behind Wu Shengli's words was clearly dissatisfied with this kind of missile, and he was also very dissatisfied with the fact that this kind of aircraft could only carry this kind of missile.

In modern warfare, if a plane is equipped with missiles with a range of tens of kilometers, it is obviously a matter of death!

Generally speaking, anti-ship missiles used by warships or shores need to add an additional booster because they start flying from scratch, so as to give the missile an initial speed. Even so, the range is not far.

Air-launched anti-ship missiles are different. This kind of anti-ship missile is launched from an aircraft. The altitude and speed of the aircraft itself can provide an initial energy to the air-launched missile, and the range will also be greatly expanded.

"As for anti-ship missiles similar to 3M80, we also have them in China, code-named KH-41." Yemelyanov said: "This missile is an air-launched model derived from the 3M80 anti-ship missile. This The weight of this missile is 6.6 times that of the KH-31, and its range is also 3.5 times. If launched from a high altitude, the range will be 250 kilometers, which fully meets your needs. "

"Two hundred and fifty kilometers? That's about the same. If introduced, it will be the air-launched anti-ship missile with the longest range in our country!" Wu Shengli was satisfied then, but he thought of something later: "But , can your Su-30 carry it?”

Judging from what the other party meant, it was already obvious that if the Su-30 could mount such a killer weapon, they might purchase it!

"Of course, no problem. We have a maximum loading capacity of eight tons."

"The mounting capacity is no problem, but can our single rack bear such a heavy weight?" Mr. Lin asked from the side.

Just because an aircraft says how many external weapons it can carry, doesn't that mean it can definitely carry it. If it has an external external capacity of eight tons, can it carry an eight-ton bomb?

Of course it's impossible.

This is the sum of the loading capacity of all the pylons outside the aircraft. Generally speaking, the closer to the central axis of the aircraft, the stronger the loading capacity.

"Of course there is no problem. The belly pylons of our fighter planes can carry such missiles," Yemelyanov said.

For Sukhoi series aircraft, the outer pylons are used to mount air-to-air missiles and the like, and the weight cannot be too large. The two pylons under the air inlet have a maximum loading capacity of two tons and can be mounted It carries KH-31 series missiles, and the pylon on the central axis of the belly has the strongest loading capacity.

Only the Sukhoi series aircraft have this capability, because it uses the engine layout in the nacelle under the belly. There is still a lot of space between the two inlets, which can be used to mount the final The missile is directly connected to the fuselage beam, and there is no need to worry about counterweight.

So far, the Su-30 has not tried to mount the KH-41. However, its brother, the Su-33, a carrier-based aircraft, has done so. After all, the mission of the carrier-based aircraft is to attack the enemy fleet. To launch an attack, of course you need to mount advanced anti-ship missiles. This large supersonic anti-ship missile is its most powerful weapon.

"Really?" Wu Shengli became excited: "Can you show it now?"

Show now?

Yemelyanov frowned again, could he say no? He has to find an excuse.

"We don't have relevant missiles either!" Yemelyanov quickly thought of a countermeasure.

"No missiles? You just said that this kind of missile is the same as the Sunburn anti-ship missile we purchased, right? We have sixteen Sunburn missiles in stock in our base here... I don't know if it can be changed, so forget it. Even if it can be changed, it will be very troublesome. It would be great if it could be verified."

Hearing what Wu Shengli said, Yemelyanov immediately nodded: "If you have Sunzhi anti-ship missiles here, it shouldn't be difficult to mount them. We just need to make some changes!"

"Isn't this not good? What if something goes wrong?"

"There will be no danger. We are all the most experienced engineers. If we match the fire control system, it may take a while, but if we just fly around with the missile, it will not be difficult."

It is impossible to launch. After all, the fire control system of this aircraft has not been upgraded and it does not match it at all. However, if it is just to take off and land with a missile mounted on it, it will be easy if it proves that the aircraft has this kind of mounting capability. too much.

The navy in the East is most looking forward to acquiring this kind of attack capability!

In the Navy's equipment sequence, only the H-6 can carry this kind of missile, but this kind of bomber is too outdated and has no self-defense capabilities. In modern warfare, flying out will almost lead to death.

The Flying Leopard is the most advanced tactical bomber, and it cannot hang such a heavy missile on one pylon. Feibao only carries a YJ-81 anti-ship missile.

The Navy needs long-range air-launched anti-ship capabilities!

Wu Shengli said enthusiastically: "It would be great if we could see this kind of aircraft take off with this kind of missile and come back around the sea. Our navy needs this kind of weapon combination!"

"Okay. Don't worry, we will definitely fulfill your wish. Let's study how to mount it now."

How to mount it is Lao Maozi's business, and the request is made by myself, but it's okay for the big guys to help.

In the following time, a group of people hung around the plane and began to study it.

From the appearance point of view, the Su-30 is very similar to the two-seat version of the Su-27. However, its interior has been significantly updated. As a fighter-bomber, it places more emphasis on the mounting capacity and training capabilities. Machines are very different.

As for the belly pylon, a lot of people were studying it, and soon the thick Sunburn missiles were put on it.

"If this kind of missile can be hung into the sky, the combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced." Wu Shengli was very satisfied with this operation: "I just don't know if it is safe or not!"

"Safe, of course it is safe. It can not only fly to the sky with missiles, but also land with missiles. The landing gear of our aircraft has also been strengthened." Yemelyanov said.

"It's getting late today, how about we fly again tomorrow?"

"No, for us, this kind of flying is trivial." Yemelyanov said.

"So, pilot in the back seat, do you want to switch to ours and let us feel it?" Qin Tao asked.

This was what he had promised, so after thinking for a moment, Yemelyanov nodded: "Of course, please invite him over."

"How about forgetting it? I don't know if this newly mounted missile is safe. If there is any problem, I won't be able to tell who will be held responsible," Qin Tao said.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yemelyanov said: "We have gone through a comprehensive inspection and confirmed that the flight is absolutely safe."

"Okay, that's what you said."

Delano, wearing a full flight suit and a flight helmet, walked over excitedly. When he came up to him, Yemelyanov was stunned: "Why is he a foreigner?"

"Foreigner? No, no, he is Chinese. Wu Song, come here, show him your ID."

Wu Song?

With a smile on his face, Delano took out the ID.

According to Qin Tao's request, they all need to give themselves a Chinese name. After studying for a while, Delano decided to name himself Wu Song. This name sounds domineering and is a tiger-fighting hero!

At this time, looking at Delano's ID, Yemelyanov was surprised. How could a foreigner come to the East? Especially, this person is not their old Russian, and speaks fluent English!

"He is a formal member of our naval aviation force. He also has the ability to fly a variety of aircraft. He has flown for more than 30 hours on the Su-27 simulator. Now, he is just feeling it in the rear cabin. If you think it is not appropriate, forget it, so as to avoid any accidents and trouble with our pilots."

"Since he is your pilot, there is no problem." Yemelyanov nodded.

So, Delano got on the plane excitedly.

Since the plane flew over the airport, Delano watched in the nearby bushes. The performance of this plane was too wonderful!

However, in order to avoid being exposed and arousing the vigilance of the Russians, all the foreigners in the airport stayed in the dormitory or went to nearby cities for tourism. There was only one foreigner at the scene, Delano.

Delano was bored waiting for the other party to hang bombs, and finally had the opportunity to get on the plane to experience flying.

For Delano, this is very important.

There are very few heavy fighters in the world, and the Su-27 series fighters are one of the few heavy aircraft. He has long been yearning for it.

In the past, he had also driven a Tomcat fighter and fought against the Su-27 of the Red Empire. He also heard about the beauty of the air scalpel, but he didn't have the opportunity at that time. Now, finally!

After Delano sat on the plane, the ground staff began to help check the seat, oxygen mask and intercom, and finally, the canopy was slowly closed.

In front of him was a sky blue dashboard. The Russian watch shop was really well-deserved. There was only one screen in this cabin, which looked too backward.

However, the view was quite good.

Looking at the Su-27, you can see that its nose is slightly drooped, giving the pilot a good view. The Su-30, a two-seater, has a large height difference between the front and rear seats. The rear pilot's butt is almost level with the helmet of the front pilot, which gives the rear pilot a pretty good view.

This layout is much better than the Tomcat fighter. The radar officer behind the Tomcat fighter can hardly see the scene in front.

"Wu Song, sit down, and don't move the red pull ring between your legs." The pilot in the front seat, Brannov, can speak English, so he just communicated with Delano in English.

"I understand. I'm not as stupid as some people. When I was flying a Tomcat fighter as an air taxi, the officer behind me moved around and flew out. After I got off, I beat him up."

"Tomcat fighter? It seems that you used to be very powerful." Brannov said: "Okay, now we're going to take off."

The two engines at the tail of the Su-30 sprayed flames and took off with a roar on the runway.

This scene is still very spectacular.

As a naval aviation base, Huangdi Village is of course very close to the sea. After taking off, the plane circled the airport twice, proudly showing the missile mounted under the belly, which did not have much impact on the flight, and then flew to the distant sea.

"Our aircraft has excellent performance. It can fly at high altitudes and penetrate at low altitudes." At this time, although the aircraft could no longer be seen, the people at the airport were still waiting, and Yemelyanov continued to explain the excellent performance of this aircraft to everyone.

"By the way, has the missile been tested?" Qin Tao interrupted him.

"Well, of course it has been tested. Please rest assured that there is no problem. If you buy it, the aircraft on the production line will be easily matched with this missile after it comes down. At that time, it can also be tested for target shooting, which will definitely satisfy you." Yemelyanov continued to introduce the performance of this aircraft.

"Oh, that's good."

The golden sunlight filled the cockpit, and Delano was very excited looking at the undulating sea water below.

"Finally, we are flying over the sea again." Delano sighed, "When I flew Tomcat, I often liked to fly close to the sea surface, about one meter above the sea surface. The tail nozzle of the engine blew the seawater behind, and the jet could be sprayed one or two meters high, just like driving a speedboat."

Delano was just sighing casually, but Brannov took it seriously.

Hmph, what's so great about it? Isn't it just a one-meter flying altitude?

What the Tomcat can do, our Su-30 can certainly do too!

Brannov pushed the joystick and continued to descend.

Originally, there was a tactic to simulate low-altitude and high-speed penetration, and the current flight subjects were also in the plan.

Of course, generally speaking, flying to a height of ten meters is already very dangerous, and a height of one meter is only dared by anti-ship missiles. However, in the movie "Top Gun", the Tomcat fighter flew close to the sea surface, blowing the seawater behind it and splashing it, which still looked very spectacular.

Branov certainly couldn't let his American counterparts look down on him. What his counterparts could do, he could certainly do as well.

Lower and lower, finally, the plane seemed to be close to the sea surface, and the sea rushed towards him, looking extremely spectacular.

"Wu Song, is there any splash behind?"

Brannov began to ask. After all, even if the cockpit of the Su-30 fighter had a rearview mirror, the pilot in front could not see the situation at the tail, which was blocked by the back.

"Let me see." Delano said, pretending to look at the rearview mirror, and then suddenly shouted loudly: "Be careful, there are waves ahead!"

While speaking, Delano pressed a remote control switch in his pocket.

Boom!

The explosion suddenly came from the belly of the aircraft and quickly passed into the cockpit through the fuselage. When he heard the sound, Brannov's face suddenly changed. In this case, he had no time to react at all and shouted loudly: "Quick, eject!"

Except for the pilots in the East, pilots from any other country would choose to parachute first instead of saving the aircraft when facing danger, because the pilot's life is far more valuable than others, and the life of the test pilot is more valuable than the pilot.

What else can I say? It must be flying too low, and the waves hit and collided with the aircraft! As for the explosion, it must be because the anti-ship missile mounted on the belly of the aircraft exploded!

If it was a second later, it might have been blown away.

If it was his companion Maximenkov in the back seat, Brannov might have let his companion parachute first, but now, there is nothing to say, jump!

The canopy flew out, and flames rose in the cockpit. Brannov was overloaded by the ejection, and his eyes were dark and he knew nothing.

(I don’t know what the ejection order is. Even if the pilot in the front cabin pulled the ejection ring, the pilot in the back seat would eject first.)

A smile appeared on Delano’s face. He operated the throw button and threw the missile mounted under the belly into the sea.

With a bang, the anti-ship missile fell into the sea, and the plane was still flying steadily.

"Wu Song called the base, Wu Song called the base, the pilot in the front cabin ejected, and I was still in the cockpit. What should I do, what should I do?" Delano's voice was filled with fear.

"The pilot in the front cabin has ejected? Then what are you waiting for, eject immediately!"

"Got it!"

Delano said, putting his legs together and pulling the pull ring between his legs.

Under his butt, flames rose, and Delano finally experienced the legendary famous D-36 seat.

How many times has this ejected? Damn it, I don't want to experience this feeling again!

Delano's face was dissatisfied.

In the sky, the first parachute flower appeared. Brannov recovered from the overloaded black vision and looked down, then his face changed drastically: "Oh, damn, why didn't the plane explode?"

Just now, he thought the plane was about to explode, so he ejected quickly, and didn't even care about the life and death of the pilot in the rear cabin, but now, the plane that lost the canopy and the pilot is still flying in the sky!

If the plane exploded, it would be understandable that he ejected to escape, after all, the life of the test pilot is the most important, but now, he ejected himself when the plane was intact, and he didn't even care about the life and death of the pilot in the back seat!

At this time, the pilot in the back seat also ejected. Seeing that guy just came out now, Brannov suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Everything was in chaos in the Wasteland Village Base.

"Damn it, how could this happen?" Qin Tao's face was full of anger: "Your pilot ejected directly, leaving our back seat pilot helpless. If we had known earlier, we would have let our pilot sit in the front seat and fly the plane back!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up, contact the helicopter unit immediately and rescue the pilot. It's getting dark. If the search and rescue is unsuccessful, the two will be in danger!" Wu Shengli was busy dealing with the accident.
