Balotov, who had always been calm and calm, was very restrained, but he still had trouble controlling his expression when he saw the four armed helicopters that looked like flying insects passing by the command post at low altitude.
There¡¯s no way the leader can¡¯t help but be shocked by this scene.
China actually has its own dedicated armed helicopter? When did it happen? How come he has no news at all?
You must know that it is a special armed helicopter, and its technical and tactical indicators have extremely strict requirements. It cannot be produced by anyone who wants to.
What's more, even if we step back ten thousand steps, China has the production capacity of special armed helicopters, but to develop such an armed helicopter, there must be some advance preparations, right?
You can¡¯t just appear out of thin air without even a single clue, right?
The results of it? The four special-purpose armed helicopters flying in the sky passed by in such a mighty manner, leaving behind what was like a mystery of their origins.
After all, Balotov is a guest and spokesperson of the Russian arms manufacturer. He has never seen a pig bleating, but he has also seen a pig running. He does not believe that China's special armed helicopters can pop out of the cracks in the rocks like Sun Monkey. .
However, his brain thought rapidly for a long time, and he could not find any clues in his memory that China had developed a special armed helicopter.
Don¡¯t the Chinese use high-performance turboshaft engines? Why not use new lightweight and high-strength materials? There is no need for a comprehensive targeting attack system
A series of questions swirled in Balotov's mind. Fortunately, the Russian colonel was a living organism. If it had been in any other form, with so many unanswered questions superimposed, the computer would have crashed and exploded long ago.
"This is the wz-12nb armed helicopter that we have just finalized!"
Just when Balotov ignored the dazzling sunshine in the northwest and stared at the four WZ-12NB armed helicopters flying away, with countless questions in his mind, Zheng Quanli, who walked out of the command post leisurely, suddenly introduced: "He is here A special armed type developed based on the Z-12."
As Zheng Quanli spoke, a miniature model of the wz-12nb armed helicopter appeared in his hand as if by magic. He held it in his hand and continued to introduce it to a group of foreign military observers with a calm expression: "Our wz-12nb The armed helicopter has a total length of 16 meters, a total height of 4.35 meters, a rotor diameter of 13.2 meters, a tail rotor diameter of 2.8 meters, an empty weight of 4,500 kilograms, a maximum take-off weight of 7,000 kilograms, a maximum internal fuel load of 1,080 kilograms, and a maximum weapon load of 1,200 kilograms. .
The engine uses a wd-43z turboshaft engine with a maximum power of 1280 kilowatts, equivalent to 1740 shaft horsepower. Due to the excellent energy-saving and emission reduction technology, the wd-43z turboshaft engine is not only powerful but also has extremely low fuel consumption. Capacity, because of this, the wz-12nb armed helicopter has a practical ceiling of 7,200 meters when fully loaded, a maximum range of 850 kilometers, and a combat endurance of 3 hours"
Listening to Zheng Quanli¡¯s words, military observers from Cuba, North Korea, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Iran and other countries didn¡¯t think anything of it at first. After all, the investment in this new equipment is usually introduced to the foreign military observers.
But as I listened, the expressions of these foreign military observers were a little different. Even the military observers from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and other countries looked surprised and shocked. The reason for this is very simple. The performance of the wz-12nb armed helicopter is a bit too good.
How excessive it is, others don¡¯t know. Those countries such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Belarus, which have been brainwashed by the Russian arms manufacturer¡¯s special armed helicopters for many years, know best. In a sense, China¡¯s wz-12nb armed helicopter It is no less than Russia's next-generation armed helicopter Mi-28n "Havoc" armed helicopter.
It even exceeds many in some indicators.
Not to mention anything else, but in terms of range and endurance, the wz-12nb armed helicopter rubs against the ground like the Mi-28n "Havoc" armed helicopter.
Because the Mi-28n "Havoc" armed helicopter has a maximum range of only 470 kilometers, which is only half that of the WZ-12nb armed helicopter. As for the endurance time, even if it is equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank, it only lasts for 2 hours, and the combat cruise is less than an hour.
The wz-12nb armed helicopter has a range of 850 kilometers based on internal fuel alone, and a combat cruise endurance of 3 hours.
We must know that long range and long endurance have a vital impact on the combat effectiveness and survivability of armed helicopters. Long range can at least set the airport at a greater depth, thereby avoiding local harassment and attacks; longer endurance is more Needless to say, it can hover in the air for a long time and support ground troops at any time.
In ?In two respects, the wz-12nb armed helicopter is so good that the resulting bomb load is only 1,200 kilograms, which is far less than the 2,800 kilograms of the Mi-28n "Havoc" armed helicopter, which makes it less important.
After all, the main attack targets of armed helicopters are high-value targets such as local tanks and armored vehicles, solid fortifications, communication centers, command centers and logistics nodes.
The weapons used are mostly precision-guided weapons such as anti-tank missiles.
Because of this, it is not a problem for an armed helicopter to carry a small bomb load. As long as it is well-armed and has high attack efficiency, it is not a problem. In this regard, the wz-12nb armed helicopter has a complete comprehensive attack avionics system.
In addition to a comprehensive photoelectric detection system that can rotate freely 270 degrees under the nose, a small millimeter-wave detection radar is also installed above the propeller hub.
Coupled with the "Sniper" type 5 flight control system on the pilot's head, the wz-12nb armed helicopter becomes a flexible, stable and efficient low-altitude killer.
In comparison, today's Mi-28n "Havoc" armed helicopters are mediocre in terms of integrated avionics systems. In addition to a set of photoelectric probes from France, the pilot's helmet still uses an old Soviet-era helmet from the 1980s. Although the object can achieve the so-called effect of hitting wherever you point it, the overall weight is extremely large and the operation is also very complicated. Even with professional training, it is inevitable to be in a hurry.
Of course, I heard that the Kamov Design Bureau has improved the integrated avionics system on the latest Ka-50 armed helicopter. However, the problem is that the overall Ka-50 helicopter is too complex and the maintenance cost is high. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, it may not be as good as the Mi-28n." If not for this, the Soviet era would not have positioned the Mi-28n "Havoc" armed helicopter as the main model of the next generation of armed helicopters, leaving the Ka-50 aside.
Because of this, before Zheng Quanli finished speaking, military observers from many countries had a strong interest in the newly emerged wz-12nb armed helicopter.
Balotov was not an idiot. He couldn't tell at this moment that Zheng Quanli was conducting a fire drill. It was clearly a large exhibition of weapons and equipment created as a gimmick. What was even more depressing was that , China was originally worried about how to attract people to visit, but as a result, this stupid young man hurriedly solved this most critical problem, and attracted military observers from more than 20 countries at once, more than 20 countries ¡
