Red Soviet Union

As a mechanic, we must constantly learn to improve our business level. Sokolovka base sends mechanic to Vladivostok for further study every year, and every time, it is the Aki in front of us. M led the team.

Went there, what did they learn? They complete their daily study absentmindedly every day, and when they are most active at night, they all go out to drink! Some even go to women...

Who can complete the task of adding a cannon? Andre asked the mechanics.

Not all mechanics have the same virtue as Akim. No matter where they are, they always have to be divided into two factions. If everyone is like Akim, it can only mean that the Soviet Union is terminally ill and has no cure. .

Me. At this moment, a voice came from behind the crowd, and a young mechanic stood up and said, I once learned the maintenance of the MiG-21, one of which is the GP-9 cannon. Pod and UPK-23 cannon pod.

MiG-21! This kind of aircraft, which was actually only a transitional type in the aviation history of the Soviet Union, has blossomed everywhere in foreign countries, especially in Huaxia, where the fighter aircraft with the new J-7 number is almost the backbone of guarding the Huaxia sky.

At the same time, the Soviet Union also exported a large number of MiG-21 fighters to the Warsaw Pact countries, and this fighter has appeared in various models. Among them, the MiG-21PF series canceled the fixed cannon on the fuselage and adopted the form of the cannon pod. This pod is the GP-9 cannon pod.

This cannon pod is equipped with a 23mm GSh-23 double-barreled cannon, which is also the most common type of aerial cannon in the Soviet Union.

The Gsh-23L cannon is a 23mm double-barreled cannon developed by the Soviet Union in 1965 according to the Gast rule. The so-called Gast law refers to that in the two barrels of the machine gun, when one barrel fires a projectile, its recoil force drives the other barrel to load and fire the projectile through a lever device, and so on. Shots are fired back and forth. The advantages of this World War I-era device invented by Gast are many: simple and compact structure, high reliability, and a very high rate of fire.

This Soviet cannon has a total weight of only 51 kg and a rate of fire of 3,000 rounds per minute. On the MiG-21PF, it is installed in the GP-9 turret under the middle of the fuselage. This turret is like a big drum, which solves the problem of no cannon. At the same time, after improvement, the shape is more streamlined. UPK-23 cannon pod, this pod is completely designed to hang on the external hard point of the aircraft.

Although in Andre's heart, what he prefers is the Gsh-6-23 23mm 6-barrel revolving cannon. This six-barrel Gatling cannon developed with reference to the American M61A1 Vulcan cannon has 5,000 rounds. The rate of fire of /min, as long as it is launched, there is a sea of ​​metal projectiles in front of it! The covered target must be destroyed!

It's a pity that this kind of cannon will not be developed until next year, and Andre can't get it now.

Okay, Victor. Andrei knew this mechanic, and he was very attentive when he was doing fighter plane maintenance. He was a good Soviet guy! Andre said: Then it's up to you to help me with the No. 032 cannon pod. If necessary, I will apply to my superiors to modify my fighter at the fastest speed. Who of you is willing to help along? ?

Andre's meaning was very clear. Of course, the people who followed Akim didn't want to. Only these new mechanics expressed their willingness to complete the task.

The old guys are all sneering on the side, thinking they are aircraft designers? I'm just an operator!

When the modification is completed, I will ask my superiors for credit, and there will definitely be awards at that time. Andre said: We now need to modify our fighters as soon as possible.

Yes. Several mechanics replied loudly,

Of course they were excited.

Andre, I remember that there should be UPK-23 cannon pods in our warehouse. Before we switched to MiG-25 a few years ago, our base used MiG-21 fighters. The gun pod is backed up. At this moment, Ivanov on the side spoke.

own? That's the best! Andre said: Great, we will start now, and we can complete the hanging and debugging of the cannon today!

What a big change here! It's all ready! Hang the cannon pod on the fighter, and then adjust it according to the fighter's fire control system! If you can't even do this well, it's not a qualified maintenance at all!

At this time, Akim next to him showed a bitter face: Head, it was all a few years ago. I don't know where it was piled in the warehouse. How can I find it?

Hearing this, Andrei's face darkened immediately: What? Can't find it? That's the property of the Soviets! If it's lost! Then go to the Air Defense Command in Vladivostok. Go and explain!

As soon as Andre said those words, Akim's expression changed.

Go there and you'll be punished for sure!

As an air force base, the warehouse is very large. In this era, there is no computer management system, and the items in the warehouse are all managed manually.

Andre, who came from later generations, knew how Huaxia was managed at that time. The warehouse manager had a thick book to record various items, and, more importantly, he relied on his brain. They read these records when they were free. , after a long time, you will remember it all, and in the system, there will be such a competition, to see who can remember it all, and it is accurate, you can get rewards.

At that time, even foreign friends were stunned by Huaxia's method. Huaxia's warehouse manager was a computer!

But what about now? Entering the warehouse, you can see that it is in a mess. There are only a few recent large boxes. Inside are the backup engines. This thing looks very new, while the others are scattered everywhere, and many of them are on it. A thick layer of ash.

so messy! As Andre walked, he said, According to the regulations, we have to carry out an inventory of spare parts in the warehouse every year, right?

Yes, but, but the maintenance of the fighter jets is too busy at ordinary times, and we really don't have time to carry out the inventory. As the captain of the aircraft maintenance, of course, Akim knew that if he really did an inventory, there would be too many things in it. Because many of them were secretly sold by myself, just to exchange for a few bottles of vodka. In the past, I was racking my brains about how to make a fuss about the records, but later, I just took it directly.
