Chapter 741

“Do you really agree? You won’t come back then? At present, our brigade is applying for an advanced air force to support ground forces, but there is no suitable model.” Tang Xin’s eyes widened.

These people held meetings for a long time, but the results after the meeting made them completely unexpected.

Xie Kai nodded, “Completely agree. Not only will these three be provided to you, but also the F-14s that will be repaired later will also be provided to the Special Operations Brigade.”

“How do I feel that there is a problem? When have these guys been so generous? Three fighters, which are hundreds of millions of dollars, and they will be given away? No superiors have spoken yet…” He Chao frowned and asked in a low voice. Yang Bin.

Yang Bin’s mind is also complicated, and he constantly speculates about the other party’s purpose.

But in any case, they didn’t understand.

“The most advanced in China is the J-8, which does not meet the needs of our special operations brigade. I don’t know when the J-8II will be produced… With the F-14, many of our theories can be put into practice.” Tang Xin Said happily.

“Chief of Staff Tang, I’ll give you the fighter, no problem. We are just a military science and technology research unit, but there is a condition…” Zheng Yucheng said.

Tang Xin looked at Zheng Yucheng, and she had been guessing what Zheng Yucheng wanted to do.

Sure enough, the old fox began to make terms.

With a smile, “Director Zheng, please tell me, as long as we can do it, it won’t be a problem.”

All foxes!

Xie Kai was listening, always feeling that his living environment was too complicated.

How good it used to be, there is no need to consider these issues at all.

“The fighter plane belongs to you. Whether it is fuel consumption or maintenance, you have to bear the responsibility of your special operations brigade, how about it?” Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.

Tang Xin originally thought it was a big problem, for fear that Zheng Yucheng and others would regret it, “This is natural. The fighter planes were given to us. We should be burdened with the current equipment, logistics maintenance and other issues that belong to us…”

“Chief of Staff Tang, we hope you can provide us with the data of each flight. In addition, these fighters are also our research objects…”

“No problem, overhaul, etc., are all entrusted to your experts. It just so happens that we don’t have personnel who can maintain this fighter.” Tang Xin didn’t hesitate.

She doesn’t agree.

The fighter jets were originally used for 404 research, and now the other party agrees to give them all these fighter jets. Should they not let them study it, isn’t it?

Seeing that the other party had no further comments, Tang Xin and Zheng Yucheng and others negotiated that the fighter plane would stay on the airport runway of the base, and even later obtained some fighter planes and stayed at the 404 airport.

Zheng Yucheng also had no objection.

The two parties reached an agreement. Tang Xin feared that the 404 people would go back, and hurriedly dragged He Chao, Yang Bin and others away.

On the way back, Yang Bin thought more and more wrong. People with 404 have never been so generous.

Tang Xin also found that Yang Bin frowned, “Political commissar, they finally agreed to give us the fighters to form a top-level air force, even if they have the eyebrows. Now the special operations brigade includes most of the cutting-edge arms, and the combat effectiveness of our brigade is the same. Far more than ordinary combat divisions, I should be happy.”

Tang Xin was really happy.

Although the F-14 from Persia is not the kind used by the United States, it cannot be compared with the F-15. It is also the most advanced and most capable fighter in China?

“We can use the F-14 as a sharp knife, with the J-8 or J-7 formation as an air assault force…” Tang Xin was full of longing for the future of the special forces brigade.

Less F-14?

not a problem.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Used as a sharp knife for the air force, it can not only attack the air, but also perform attack missions on the ground. Assisting some domestic fighters, the combat effectiveness will be very powerful.

“Chief of Staff, we seem to be fooled.” Yang Bin sighed, “According to our understanding, people with 404 will never do things that do not take advantage.”

“How can they take advantage? An F-14 is tens of millions of dollars. Our 359 tanks, they also sold us at a very low price? Political commissar Yang, do you think too much?” Tang Xin was a little dissatisfied. .

This is to treat people’s kindness as donkey liver and lungs.

He Chao looked at each other with Yang Bin, but in the end he didn’t speak.

When the F-14 performed the exercise mission in accordance with the requirements of the special operations brigade for the first time, the advanced Western fighters caused a huge loss to the ground forces, and the air defense firepower was not enough, showing extremely powerful combat capabilities.

When the military leaders learned that 404 was generous, they even sent a certificate to Zheng Yucheng and others to encourage him.



With a big wave of his hand, he set aside a special fund dedicated to F-14 flight training and combat training.

Normally, flight training, etc., basically only consume fuel, although it is expensive, it is not too obvious.

But this exercise will consume a lot of money. Three fighter planes are constantly taking off and landing at a high frequency, not only to counter the “enemy” air power, but also to deal with ground targets.

As a result, Tang Xin became worried, “It seems that the flight cost of this fighter plane is a bit high? Just one exercise, not to mention ammunition, just aviation fuel, three F-14s consumed 2.6 million, which accounted for the entire brigade exercise cost. One-third of…”

Yang Bin smiled bitterly.

He Chao just didn’t speak.

The cost of the exercise was higher than expected by the superiors, but not much.

In the end, helpless, the military chiefs waved their hands and added some additional funds.

In the second year, 404 repaired the F-14 at the base, and even repaired two of the obsolete aircraft provided by the Persians. The Chief of Staff Tang Xin happily accepted another three-plane attack formation.

Therefore, the new exercise script is to test the survivability of ground forces under large-scale air strikes by the Western Air Force.

In the two three-aircraft formations, due to the large ammunition capacity of the F-14, the maximum external load can exceed 6.5 tons. In order to ensure the combat capability and range, neither the US military nor the Persian Air Force will do this.

This problem does not exist in the special forces brigade hidden in the Qilian Mountains.

What’s more, what is being tested is the air defense capabilities of ground armored units under large-scale air strikes. The distance from the airport to the exercise site is only 200 kilometers. Even a fully loaded F-14 is just a matter of a kick.

The larger the scale of the air strike and the more bombs dropped, the better the effect of the exercise.

Ever since, 404 electromagnetic bombs, heavy aviation cloud explosive bombs, the top domestic aviation bombs, and ground attack missiles can be mounted on six F-14s.

In order to see the effect, many military leaders have come to the special operations brigade.

The invigorating fast-paced attack, the air echelon ran away after dropping the bomb, and even fled the combat area before the ground air defense system was working, and appeared in another area, which made the superior leaders very happy.

The Air Force needs advanced fighters with outstanding combat performance.

Especially Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan are happier.

This exercise is said to be testing the survivability of ground forces in the face of large-scale air strikes, rather than showing the scientific research results of the 404.

With the development and the appearance of more and more new equipment in the world, military leaders also found that more and more equipment in the world are developing more and more in the field of electronic information.

Therefore, the electromagnetic bombs that even the military leaders have forgotten were also used in this exercise.

“The effect of this exercise is very significant. No matter how powerful the armored cluster is, under large-scale air strikes, the air defense firepower cannot be too effective for defense. The only thing that can be solved is the interception of the air force and the interception of medium and long-range air defense missiles… We have absolute guiding significance throughout the construction of ground forces…” After the end, Tang Xin happily reported to his superiors.

The effect is remarkable.

In this attack mode, a brigade of special operations brigade, even if it does not use special operations to perform beheading operations, does not use tactical support, the ground red flag ground-to-ground attack missile with a range of more than 220 kilometers, just air strikes, let the defending party be attacked. There was no strength to fight back.

“With the combat effectiveness of the special forces brigade, one brigade challenging three full-staffed divisions should have a great chance of winning!” a general said with emotion.

Another general also nodded in agreement, “If there are more special operations brigades in the country, the fewer the number, the more combat effectiveness will be increased.”

When the superiors were happy, He Chao stood up solemnly, “Dear leaders, I think you should first listen to the cost of this exercise. The total cost of this exercise was 43.785 million, of which six F-14s were used. The 60 fighter fleets consumed 37.88 million, accounting for about 86.5% of the entire exercise cost. Among them, fuel consumption alone exceeded 10 million…”

The chiefs only saw the effect, but did not see how high the cost was in the middle.

During the three-day exercise, six F-14s were dispatched for a total of 60 sorties, and nearly 300 tons of bombs and missiles were dropped. These bombs and missiles are not cheap goods like ordinary aerial bombs. Every single one can cost one to two hundred thousand. The friendly price.

In the end, two F-14s had parts problems and had to be overhauled, which was a cost of millions.

“In addition, the tactical missile battalion and the long-range rocket artillery battalion of the special operations brigade have not yet been dispatched. If the first option was adopted, the fire support battalion would participate in it. At the price of a ground red flag of 600,000, a 304 long-range rocket artillery shelled 370,000 shells. The price of the whole exercise will exceed 100 million…” Yang Bin stood up and asked with a serious face.

“So much?” The general who said that there should be more special operations brigades opened his eyes wide. “The national defense budget has not risen at all in the past two years. This year’s budget is only 21.8 billion, and one exercise will kill 100 million?”

“If you include the cost of equipment, a brigade will account for almost one-tenth of the national defense budget. This is still not included in the cost of the F-14 fighter, and it is even higher…” Long Yaohua sighed.

He understood, why Zheng Yucheng and the old guys agreed to give the F-14 to the Special Operations Brigade for free.

Tang Xin also understands, but now, isn’t it?

404 obviously shared the cost for them!

“Leader, we are kind. You doubt it, isn’t it inappropriate?” Zheng Yucheng complained, “At the beginning, you also asked to provide these fighters to the special operations brigade, but we got it back at a considerable cost… …”
