Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 93 The Opponent of Jingwei No. [-]
Zhong Cheng showed the pass he had prepared in advance, led the convoy through five checkpoints, and arrived at the headquarters of the Red Army side of the military exercise.

In this military exercise, Jingwei No. [-] will participate in the battle on the side of the Red Army, and the opponent will be the Blue Army.

An officer in charge of logistics coordination took Zhong Cheng's convoy to a small airstrip in a valley one kilometer away from the headquarters.

This is a small airport with a runway of only 300 meters long and 20 meters wide. It can only be used by small reconnaissance aircraft or drones. The main air force of the Red Army has a dedicated airport.

At this time, the apron of the small airport was already full of various small aircraft, among which [-] unmanned combat aircraft of the same model were very eye-catching.

This unmanned fighter uses a flying-wing aerodynamic layout, abandoning the tail and vertical wings that affect the stealth performance. It is somewhat similar to the B-2 of the United States, but it is much smaller, but it is also five meters Left and right fuselage length and wingspan width.

It is equipped with a turbojet engine, and the speed should not be slow. At the same time, it also mounts a variety of missile weapons, which looks majestic and murderous.

Zhong Cheng's convoy drove to the side of the small airport and began to unload the cars. In fact, Jingwei No. [-] does not need the airport at all. As long as there is more than three meters of space, it can take off from any place.

Jingwei No. [-] was hoisted from the packing box to the concrete floor by a crane, and the soldiers who came to assist all commented on it, not knowing what it was.

At this time, several officers came from the tarmac, and the leader greeted Jiang Yan from a long distance away. He seemed to be an acquaintance of Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan introduced Zhong Cheng and others. He was Major Wang Xing of the 912 R&D Institute of the Air Force, a designer of military drones, and the others were his colleagues.

The unmanned combat aircraft on the tarmac is the design work led by him, called the long sword attack drone, which is the most popular military drone selection, and its performance is the most outstanding among the three drones selected in the initial stage. Advantage.

Therefore, the Jingwei drones that are not favored by the expert group are assigned to this side. One is strong and the other is weak, and the two are medium. According to their meaning, it is for balance.

Everyone introduced each other, and they will be temporary comrades-in-arms in this military exercise.

Wang Xing is a tall man in his early 30s, a little chubby, with a smile on his chubby round face.

Liu Yuzhu whispered that this is a smiling tiger, Zhong Cheng can only sigh, this Zhuzhu is a little bit crazy.

Wang Xing and the others were also attracted by Jingwei No. [-]. Jingwei No. [-] looked like a big iron pot turned upside down on the ground. They were also a little uncertain.

"There is no propeller, and there is no engine injection port, how can this thing fly?"

"Isn't it the legendary non-propellant engine? But can such a small thrust lift this thing up?"

"Maybe it's a Hall electric pusher, but it's not realistic. How much thrust is the best Hall electric pusher now?"

"Used anti-gravity technology?"

……

A few people chattered in low voices, they were obviously more expert than the soldiers just now, although they couldn't figure out the situation, they also believed that this thing would definitely be able to fly.

Since people dared to bring things, they couldn't be joking.

Wang Xing asked Jiang Yan with a shy face, "Jiang Yan, tell us, is this a drone?"

"It's not a drone, is it an iron pot?" Liu Yuzhu answered angrily first.

Jiang Yan ignored Liu Yuzhu and glanced at Zhong Cheng. Zhong Cheng shook his head. He was not sure about the current level of secrecy of the Jingwei drone, but it was better to be cautious.

Jiang Yan smiled and said to Wang Xing: "The specific situation will be known in two days. Do you know the situation of the drones in the Blue Army?"

Jiang Yan dismissed the topic lightly, and Wang Xing introduced the situation of the other two drones participating in the war with great interest.

One is the Ares unmanned fighter aircraft developed by Beihang University. It is driven by the most advanced propeller technology and has a take-off weight of [-] tons. It can carry a large amount of ammunition and can be used as an unmanned bomber. It can also be equipped with laser cannons and electromagnetic guns. Used as an attack drone.

There is a shortcoming, the maximum speed can only reach 0.8 times the speed of sound, which is too slow.And the speed of his long sword unmanned attack aircraft has reached twice the speed of sound, and God of War has only one word "death" when encountering a long sword.

The other is the migrating locust drone developed by the National University of Science and Technology. It uses the most advanced micro-electric injection engine. Its take-off weight is less than 300 kilograms. It can be equipped with a miniature rapid-fire cannon with very limited firepower.

Also no match for his longsword.

"Is your long sword the opponent of the Air Force's fifth-generation fighter 'Zhan-20'?" Liu Yuzhu snorted disdainfully, he was very dissatisfied with Wang Xing's bragging.

Wang Xing chuckled, "Are you kidding me? If you compare a drone with a real fighter jet, that thing is made with money. Let's talk about it in another 30 years."

"Okay, let's go install the console, it'd better be done tonight."

Zhong Cheng held back Liu Yuzhu who was still wanting to fight. It's no fun to talk about winning or losing. It's better to do something practical.

To be honest, after listening to Wang Xing's introduction, he really didn't regard these three drones as opponents. His current goal has risen to defeat the "Zhan-20" fifth-generation fighter in air combat.

"Zhan-20" is the latest generation of invisible fifth-generation air superiority fighter developed by our army with high stealth, high situational awareness, and high maneuverability. The future heavy fighter model of the purpose fighter.

This is a big guy with a take-off weight of 40 tons, and the cost is estimated to be hundreds of millions of yuan each. Zhong Cheng heard that a small number of "Zhan-20" will participate in this military exercise and conduct actual combat tests.

The opponent of Jingwei No. 20 will be "Zhan-[-]"!
Before Zhong Cheng and others took down the control console, Wang Xing told them that the inspection and maintenance equipment of the drone can be placed in a small airport, but the control equipment should be placed in the Red Army headquarters to facilitate unified command and dispatch.

Moreover, there are various communication and network facilities in the headquarters to facilitate the arrangement of control equipment. The drone control center of Institute 912 has already been installed in the headquarters.

UAVs at this stage are still inseparable from manual remote control. For UAVs to carry out activities within a radius of several hundred kilometers, powerful radio communication equipment and facilities are essential.

According to the wireless TV distance formula, the current combat radius of unmanned fighter aircraft is only about 250 kilometers.

(PS: These drones are not equipped with satellite data links, but only with KU-band microwave data links, which are affected by the curvature of the ground plane, so the higher the control signal transmitter, the better.)
Zhong Cheng and others had no choice but to send the console to the headquarters again.

This is a huge grass-green tent built on the flat ground halfway up the mountain. There are already countless technical officers and sergeants busy building various information-based command and monitoring equipment.

Modern warfare is already an informationized warfare.
