Chapter 324: Great Navy, Speed Up! [Request Full Order]
Zhang Chengjie knew that at this time, the direction must be accurate and the brakes must not be activated.
The engine cannot be throttled either.
Instead, the aircraft can only be slowed down by the powerful pulling force of the arresting cable.
This is because the fighter jets may not be able to intercept successfully in one go.
If the aircraft cannot be stopped by the arresting wire, then it is necessary to increase the throttle and take off again.
Only in this way can the safety of fighter jets and pilots be ensured.
The pilot can only start to reduce the throttle and brake after the arresting cable successfully hooks the fighter and successfully slows down.
This is a great test of the pilot's psychological quality and technical ability.
Only the best pilots can perform this kind of maneuver.
The landing hook on Zhang Chengjie's fighter plane accurately caught the arresting cable!
Blocked successfully!
Zhang Chengjie immediately released the accelerator and started reverse braking measures.
The timing was perfect.
The fighter plane stopped steadily!
The J-15 successfully landed on a domestically-made aircraft carrier for the first time!
This is of great significance.
Wang Haoran was standing on the island at this time. Next to him were Liu Zengguang, the head of the navy, and Wang Huai'en, the chief engineer of Chengfei, and others.
Seeing the first J-15 successfully land on the deck, Liu Zengguang couldn't help but feel excited.
"it is good!"
He shouted "good" and started clapping.
Wang Haoran and others also began to applaud enthusiastically.
It is really important for carrier-based aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier.
Before the first successful landing, Suo Yorun was actually very nervous.
Although many simulated landings on land have been performed before.
But it’s a little different out on the sea.
Wang Haoran was also very excited at this time.
This is the first J-15 fighter jet to successfully land on a ship!
Everything is difficult at the beginning!
As long as you succeed once, the next step will be easy.
The first fighter plane that successfully landed was quickly towed away and sent to the hangar below the deck by an elevator.
Then came the second, the third... a total of thirty fighter planes successfully landed on the aircraft carrier.
As the first pilot to successfully land on an aircraft carrier, Zhang Chengjie was brought to Liu Zengguang and others.
Zhang Chengjie saluted the leaders and said loudly: "Comrade Commander! Member Zhang, pilot of the No. 001 carrier-based aircraft on the Liaosheng aircraft carrier, reports to you! I have completed the mission of landing on the aircraft carrier, please give instructions!"
Liu Zengguang grinned and said, "Good! Very good!"
"Zhang Chengjie, you are the first pilot to land on the Liaosheng aircraft carrier!"
"You are calm and brave. You completed the landing mission in one go and set an example for other comrades!"
Zhang Chengjie saluted again and said, "Thank you for your trust in me and for giving me this honor!"
Zhang Chengjie's gaze was now on Wang Haoran.
He had never met Wang Haoran before.
However, he had heard too many legends about Wang Haoran.
Liu Zengguang was in a good mood and said, "Opportunities are for those who are prepared!"
"Your group of carrier-based aircraft pilots can be said to be carefully selected from the Air Force!"
"Thank you for joining the navy. With you, our navy will also be a blue-sea navy with air superiority over the seas in the future, haha!"
Air superiority is extremely important in modern warfare.
Without air superiority, logistics and command systems will be difficult to maintain.
Many times the war cannot be fought.
In the 1V16 conflict on the peninsula, if the dragon had an elite air force and air superiority, the battle would not have been so difficult.
Maybe the Eagle Army had already been driven into the sea.
Let’s talk about the modern navy again. Without air superiority, there is no way to truly go to the depths of the ocean and fight a decisive battle there.
Of course, after the missile technology is formed and quickly put into service, missile destroyers can actually patrol and cruise in the ocean alone.
But it was only the beginning of 1986, and even the Eagle's air defense missiles were not that mature.
Warships are still at a disadvantage in front of aircraft.
However, today, Longguo's missile technology has truly formed three major series: sea, land and air.
Ship-borne air defense missiles can strike fighter jets as far as three or four hundred kilometers away.
This makes the combat capability of Longguo's 052D much stronger than Eagle's strongest missile cruiser, the Tikonjac class.
If the battle is really unleashed, one 052D can now deal with at least five Ticonderoga-class cruisers.
After all, the 052D is a groundbreaking technology.
The missile can reach a maximum range of 600 kilometers and is hypersonic. One YJ-18 can destroy a -ton ship.
The anti-ship missiles on the Ticondero-class cruisers can reach a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
However, its maximum speed is only 0.9 Mach, so it flies slowly, is easily interfered with, and can be locked and consumed by anti-ship missiles.
So, overall, the 052D is still much better than the Ticondero-class cruiser.
Liu Zengguang now stands up straighter and speaks in a more confident voice.
There's no way, the navy is indeed becoming rich now!
The navy already has its first aircraft carrier, and the carrier-based aircraft have successfully landed, so, with just some more training, it will basically be able to form combat effectiveness.
Liu Zengguang encouraged Zhang Chengjie, and then he met with all the carrier-based aircraft pilots and gave them a lecture.
Then, he awarded the medals that he had prepared in advance to each carrier-based aircraft pilot.
Timely motivation is the key to leading troops.
The successful landing of a carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier is a third-class merit.
Wang Haoran participated in the entire aircraft carrier landing ceremony.
Afterwards, he held a discussion with all the pilots on the mother ship.
The main purpose is to listen to the pilots' opinions so as to upgrade and modify the fighter jets.
Pilots have the most contact with aircraft, so their suggestions are the most valuable.
At the symposium, all pilots spoke freely and put forward many suggestions.
Of course, everyone mainly praises the J-15.
Although the J-15 carrier-based aircraft is China's first self-developed carrier-based aircraft, it reached its peak as soon as it debuted.
Its various parameters are quite amazing.
The pilots all believed that although this was a carrier-based aircraft, its performance was even stronger than the J-10, the main fighter of the Air Force.
Because the J-15 is actually a heavy fighter that crushes the Hornet in all aspects.
The pilots couldn't imagine this.
In the mid-70s, although Eagle had not yet reached an agreement with Dragon to restore its relationship, Eagle was already trying to sell F16 to Dragon.
Even in 1979, Eagle was so enthusiastic that it sent the F16 to its doorstep for pilots to test fly.
At that time, Longguo really wanted to buy F16.
But, in the end, I didn’t want it.
The main reason is that the eagle is too expensive.
Longguo has no money to buy it.
Eagle dares to ask for 16 million dollars for an F1400 aircraft at this time!
How can the impoverished Dragon Country afford it?
However, Zhang Chengjie and others have test-flown the F16.
The shock that flying the F16 brought to Zhang Chengjie at that time was unparalleled.
What he was thinking at the time was: Oh my God! Are their aircraft so advanced? This is too incredible, right? After test-driving the F16, Zhang Chengjie felt very disappointed when he drove his J-.
Fortunately, the J-16 came out quite quickly, and Zhang Chengjie was one of the first pilots to test-drive the J- because he had flown the F before.
After he flew the J-16, he asserted that the performance of the J- was comparable to that of the F-, and even surpassed it in terms of avionics equipment and radar.
But when he flew the J-15, he suddenly discovered that the J-15 was actually much more powerful than the J-10.
He was completely defeated at that time.
Because according to his own idea, shouldn't the performance of carrier-based aircraft be slightly worse than that of the main fighter jets of the Air Force?
I really didn't expect that carrier-based aircraft are actually better than the main fighter jets of the Air Force in many aspects of performance.
Who can I go to for justice?
In fact, the carrier-based aircraft of the world's major powers basically choose heavy fighters.
Whether it is Eagle's F14 or F18, they are all heavy fighters.
There are many advantages of heavy fighters serving as carrier-based aircraft.
Because heavy fighters are usually equipped with high-thrust engines and advanced radar and electronic countermeasure equipment, which gives them higher maneuverability and survivability in air combat.
In addition, heavy fighters have large payloads, larger combat radius, and naturally stronger long-range strike capabilities.
The ammunition carried by heavy fighters has great lethality and a longer strike range. Just one taking off can pose a huge threat to the enemy fleet.
This is the main reason why carrier-based aircraft prefer heavy fighters.
When Wang Haoran was having a discussion with the carrier-based aircraft pilots on the mother ship, Liu Zengguang received a notice that Jiaoben had sent another plane to spy from afar.
Although the foot basin has not been able to gain any advantage in sending planes to harass in the past two or three years, it still refuses to give up.
Although the foot basin is now in decline, it still has its wolfish ambitions.
Moreover, it still proudly feels that it has a psychological advantage over the dragon.
Even its father, the eagle, didn't dare to get too close.
It dares!
The most infuriating thing about the foot basin is that it has drawn its identification area almost to a place only a few dozen kilometers away from the dragon.
As soon as the plane takes off, the dragon feels that there is danger to itself and immediately sends out fighter jets to deal with it.
Maybe the first aircraft carrier of Dragon Country was receiving carrier-based aircraft here today, so the foot basin sensed it and wanted to come over to collect some intelligence. After hearing the news, Liu Zengguang cursed and shook his head, saying, "This bastard is as disgusting as a fly."
"Recently, in order to deal with our electronic interference, they basically come here during the day when visibility is high."
"They even turned off their radar."
Wang Haoran laughed and said, “He’s still trying to show off his ability to fight us, haha!”
Liu Zengguang nodded and said, "That's right!"
"It still doesn't recognize its own strength."
"Because it's having a hard time right now, so it's trying."
Wang Haoran smiled and said, "My personal suggestion is that we should increase the intensity a bit and make them feel some threat of death!"
Liu Zengguang shook his head and said, "Just force them out."
"There's no need to fight it for now."
“It’s just a dog.”
"Although he's baring his teeth and pretending to be fierce."
“It’s not stupid, actually.”
"It knows that the gap in strength between it and us is getting bigger and bigger."
"If it really does, it will die miserably."
"Well! We are going to organize a fleet to go through its straits a few times to give it some trouble."
"Also, we should increase our air force efforts in the future and try to visit their homes every day."
"The more you take it for a walk, the better it behaves."
Wang Haoran nodded and said, "This is a good strategy."
"The devils are people who fear power but not morality."
"What they lack is a good beating!"
"We already have several Type 052Ds, and we just need to visit them more often."
"Well! As for the Air Force! I think we should get some large, long-range drones to fly around their homes."
"Their planes can basically only fly for one or two hours at most once they take off."
"Let's get some large drones with a range of dozens of hours to tease them from time to time."
Wang Haoran's words made Liu Zengguang's eyes light up. He nodded and said, "Well said!"
"That makes so much sense!"
"With the rapid increase in our third-generation aircraft, our old sixth-generation aircraft will definitely be eliminated sooner or later."
"Let me see, can it be changed into a drone?"
Wang Haoran smiled and said, "The J-6 can indeed be converted into a drone."
“However, the performance is not good enough.”
"What we need to develop now is a long-range reconnaissance and strike machine with advanced avionics equipment."
"It is definitely not possible to make this type of aircraft work just by modifying it."
It’s not that Longguo doesn’t have drones now. In fact, we also have drones.
But there is currently a gap in the large-scale reconnaissance and strike machine.
As for the Eagle, it has launched the U-50 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and the Fenghuo-2 military drone since the 147s.
Today, Eagle also has the most advanced Predator drone in the world.
In fact, drones are not technically difficult to operate.
Ever since the invention of the gyroscope, which controls the flight stability of aircraft, drones have had technical support.
Between 79 and 80, Long also had the opportunity to purchase these advanced drones.
But because it was too expensive, Long was unwilling to agree to Eagle's harsh conditions and ultimately missed the opportunity.
Liu Zengguang's eyes lit up and he said, "Comrade Haoran, have you come up with a plan?"
"After the results come out, don't forget our navy!"
Wang Haoran smiled and said, "We actually have a bold idea: to develop a series of drones, from large to small, from jet to rotor, everything!"
"Don't worry! Comrade Zengguang, the navy will definitely benefit as well."
Liu Zengguang grinned and said, "That's good!"
"I really hope we can have a drone as advanced as the Eagle."
……
The Dragon Country’s carrier-based aircraft are on board, which can be said to be a very big news.
However, Liu Zengguang believes that there is no need to publicize it.
It will not be too late to promote it until the Liaosheng aircraft carrier is actually put into service.
However, it is definitely impossible to conceal such a big thing.
Look, in the office of Prime Minister Inoue Kintake, Inoue Kintake is listening to the report of Defense Minister Yamamoto Kazuo with a serious face.
Yamamoto Kazuo said sternly, "Inoue-kun, Dragon's carrier-based aircraft has boarded the ship."
"Moreover, their carrier-based aircraft are heavy carrier-based aircraft."
"This is not good news for us!"
"Their naval power is growing stronger and stronger."
"And we have made almost no progress in recent years."
Inoue Jinwu said: "This is a huge threat to us!"
"I really didn't expect them to develop so quickly."
"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think we should do?"
Yamamoto Kazuo smiled bitterly and shook his head. He thought to himself that the times were changing too fast. If the foot basin did not change, there would be trouble in the future...
