The command and control room on the Rush couldn't help but be quiet. It couldn't be helped. It was really unbelievable that the light transport aircraft of a certain big country in the East dropped in altitude quickly, and thenthenit just fell down, without even a trace in the middle. Not even a pause.
More importantly, even if one plane fell, all five fell down. Although Valenrio and others were not immersed in the scene, they were still so shocked that they could not say a word through the screen. come out.
¡¡
Valerio was speechless, but Zheng Quanli, who was on the shooting range island, kept talking the moment the plane landed. It was because such a complex command and coordination required him to take care of everything as much as possible, especially for this kind of situation. Unsupported short take-off and landing operations of fixed-wing aircraft at night, a slight mistake may cause serious accidents.
Therefore, from the time when the Yun-15plus began to descend to the time when they all landed on the shooting range island, Zheng Quanli's nerves were tense. It was not until all five Yun-15plus had landed that Zheng Quanli's hanging heart relaxed slightly. Immediately, he used the air-ground communication radio to say to Wen Kai, the commander of the air formation and the last Y-15plus pilot to land on the shooting range island: "Not bad, even better than usual training."
Wen Kai, who had already parked the plane, heard Zheng Quanli¡¯s praise through his earphones, and couldn¡¯t help but smile on his calm face: ¡°If the plane still can¡¯t fly well after installing EVS, then all my years of flying the transport plane will be in vain.¡±
"You can't say that. No matter how good the equipment is, you still have to look at people at critical moments."
"People are important, and the performance of the equipment is equally important. To be honest, I will report this time when I get back. All the fifteen Y-15plus we have are equipped with EVS. They are good things. Don't worry, you don't need to come forward this time. I I went to the Air Force Headquarters to apply by myself, and if they didn¡¯t approve it, I packed up my clothes and stayed in their office building without leaving.¡±
Listening to Wen Kai¡¯s words, Zheng Quanli couldn¡¯t laugh or cry for a while, but Wen Kai was very serious. He knew very well that as Zheng Quanli¡¯s position rose, Zheng Quanli had to avoid suspicion when it came to Ascendas Group¡¯s products.
¡°After all, Zheng Quanli and Zhuang Jianye are brothers-in-law. If Zheng Quanli blindly favors Ascendas Group, people will inevitably think too much.
Take this time for example, the modification of the evs system for Yun 15plus.
Zheng Quanli really followed the formal procedures strictly, but when the order fell on Ascendas Group, the rumors about Zheng Quanli immediately started to fall apart.
So much so that the original plan to modify 15 aircraft to transport the 15plus had to be reduced to five.
There is nothing we can do about it. If Ascendas Group makes the modification for free, nothing will happen. However, this time the modification of the Y-15plus for the airborne troops was not free. Instead, each aircraft received a modification fee of 3 million yuan.
This has left many people with mixed feelings.
Other aviation factories that point to the military orders are naturally jealous, and they must jump up and down to publicize that Ascendas Group's EVS system is not worth the price.
The troops who are accustomed to living a hard life are also unhappy. It costs 3 million yuan to install only one piece of equipment. It is not cost-effective no matter how you look at it. You must know that although the military funding at this time has been eased compared to the 1980s, it is still tight. What can I do with these 3 million? What kind of aircraft should I modify? How long has it been purchased? It¡¯s not that it can¡¯t fly. Why spend so much money on modifications? It¡¯s not a waste.
Among them, Wen Kai was the loudest. In his opinion, instead of spending the money on modifications, it is better to increase the number of Y-15plus. The modification fee for five aircraft reaches 15 million yuan, which is enough to buy one Y-15plus. Even if you don¡¯t buy a Y-15plus, you can buy a turbine. Propeller-powered Y-15 is also available.
After all, increasing the size of the fleet will have great benefits for the maneuverability of the airborne troops.
So Wen Kai really didn¡¯t know what Zheng Quanli was thinking at the time. Could it be that, as rumored, Old Zheng, who had spent half his life in the army to give money to his brother-in-law and boost sales, went crazy?
Until Wenkai personally drove the Yun 15plus with the EVS system installed, all the questions and rumors were dismissed by Wen Kai as farts. There was no way, the EVS system was really easy to use, and the modified Yun 15plus was so easy to use. Afraid of the dark night, it can carry out 24-hour uninterrupted take-off and landing transportation missions at simple field airports lacking support facilities.
For the airborne troops who have always been responsible for rapid response capabilities, this is much better than buying a few more aircraft.
You must know that before this, the airborne troops only had the ability to take off and land at large airports at night, and field airports were simply unthinkable. However, in modern warfare, not all combat areas will have large airports with complete infrastructure. support.
Not to mention airports, it would be nice to have a flat gravel road in many areas, such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, desert areas in border areas, and vast grasslands in the north.
Wouldn¡¯t you do something if you encounter such conditions?Got it?
Of course not, but equipment limitations have greatly restricted the ability of airborne troops to operate at night, and darkness has always been the favorite natural camouflage of military strategists.
Because of this, the United States and the Soviet Union paid special attention to the construction of night combat systems during the Cold War, especially in the development of equipment, and generally equipped night vision systems.
The country is lagging behind in this regard, so much so that the individual training of the airborne troops emphasizes night combat skills, while the hardware and equipment cannot keep up. This has greatly affected the airborne troops' concept of all-weather operations and all-region operations.
It will be different after the EVS system is installed. The Yun-15plus truly achieves all-weather takeoff and landing capabilities at field airports. The multi-mission combat capability of the airborne troops immediately increased by 28%.
This value cannot be achieved simply by adding one or two aircraft.
As for the claim by friends of Ascendas Group that the EVS system was not worth the price, Wenkai inquired about it afterwards. It was purely a malicious slander by a group of unscrupulous businessmen.
You must know that there are only two countries in the world that can produce EVS systems, one is the United States and the other is France.
Because of this, the cheapest EVS system in the international market is more than 4 million US dollars. In comparison, similar products of Ascendas Group not only break the foreign monopoly, but the price is only 3 million yuan. It is so conscience-stricken.
Therefore, when Wenkai met on different occasions some angry friends of Ascendas Group who criticized Ascendas Group's products for being too expensive, he would bluntly say: "If you have the ability, you can also localize foreign monopoly products. If not, can we stop bragging?"
Every time, the other party is left speechless and hides his face.
Of course, friends and businessmen know that their blind beeping is in vain, but now they really have nothing to do with Ascendas Group except for talking about it. If nothing else, take the 3 million EVS system as an example.
The Chinese name of this system is called visual augmentation system. This is not simply installing a telescope or microscope and calling it augmented vision. It uses complex technical means to enable the pilots of passenger planes, transport planes and even fighter jets to remain as white as white when flying at night. A modern imaging technology that "sees" airport runways or ground objects as clearly as day.
