Chapter 1012: Air refueling capability

Looking up, I saw the familiar Hercules C-130 transport aircraft. This transport aircraft is one of the world’s most successfully designed, longest used, and served in the most countries. It first flew on August 23, 1954. It has been in service for more than 60 years in later generations and has been used in more than 70 countries or regions. The total production number has exceeded 2,300, and there are nearly 40 types of mission modifications.
This is an excellent tactical transport aircraft that can take off and land on the front airstrip runway, transport or airdrop military personnel and equipment to the battlefield, and can be used to evacuate the wounded when returning. After the modification, it is used to perform various tasks. The types used for electronic surveillance, air command, control and communication include EC-130, EC-130Q, etc.; in addition, there are search and rescue and recovery types, air refueling types, and special mission types. , Weather detection type, maritime patrol type and air early warning type, in addition to a large number of civilian types.
During the honeymoon period in history, the civil aviation department of Han had also imported two C-130 transport planes. Now, instead of buying them from Eagle Country at a high price, Qin Guan has already exchanged five.
As everyone watched, I saw the C-130 transport plane landed steadily on the runway and stopped steadily after sliding less than half the distance.
Its excellent short-distance takeoff and landing capabilities are enough to make Yunba hard to beat.
Now, everyone watched the transport plane descend and rushed onto the apron. After the transport plane stopped on the apron, the rear hatch opened, and inside, an armed helicopter was slowly rolling out.
AH-1!
Just a year ago, there were almost no decent helicopters in Han, and armed helicopters were even blank. But starting this year, Han has started to explode on armed helicopters.
Ordered the small antelope gunship from the chicken country, and jointly developed the A109 helicopter and the corresponding gunship model with the noodle country. Now, there is this kind of mature gunship.
Think about it, anyway, the other party flew over and brought AH-1, which is of course the best.
"The country has made a decision to immediately form an army aviation force. Our air force has already had a large number of helicopter pilots entering the army. These AH-1s are also cheaper than the army." General Lin said: "But those other helicopters can be used. It can’t be given to the army, our air force is also useful.

The AH-1 can be stuffed into the cabin of the C-130, but the CH-47 and CH-53 cannot. This type of helicopter can only be shipped and transported slowly.
"The army will definitely come and grab us." General Zhang also said, "If they want something great, give them a few. By the way, Qin, do you want one for the Northern Company?"
These are all the credits of Qin Guan. Qin Guan walks back and forth in the country. It would be much more convenient if he had a special helicopter.
Qin Guan shook his head: "No need, it's too wasteful."
It costs more than 10,000 to take a helicopter up and down. Although you are not short on money, you can't spend it like that. Besides, the machine is prone to malfunction.
At the beginning, on the plateau, a Black Hawk fell and sacrificed so many senior Air Force generals. This lesson is profound. It is safer to take a car or train.
"Gas machine, tanker!" As everyone looked at the unloaded AH-1 gunship, someone cheered again.
It should be said that what they yearn most this time is the aerial tanker!
Air tankers are naturally a magic weapon to increase the combat power of the Air Force. They can greatly increase the amount of time the aircraft stay empty, which is equivalent to increasing the number of aircraft.
The world’s major powers have plenty of air tankers. For example, in the war between Eagle and Monkey countries in the past few years, the pilots of Eagle countries almost ran out of fuel before they finally found the air tankers. Combat.
Han's fighter jets have been left empty for a short period of time. If air refueling technology is available, it can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of Han's air force.
Although the current J-7 and J-8 do not have aerial refueling technology, the Tomcat fighter has it!
"It's not enough that we just have these aircraft. Refueling in the air is equivalent to walking a tightrope in the air. Only rigorous training will do. Our Air Force can now conduct aerial refueling training so that more pilots can work hard to master this technology. Qin Guan said.
Without rigorous training, it is not easy to align the fighter's fueling pipe with the cone sleeve.
Back then, the H6 and J-8D oil receivers had accumulated experience after countless failures. Now Qin Guan is of course not optimistic. With the aircraft, it will take a long time to train.
Qin Guan's words made everyone nod their heads one after another: "Yes, we have these tankers, and they can be deployed soon. By the way, let Chen Rui come first!"
If you have technical equipment and other difficulties, you should first find Qin Guan, then if you have a flight test mission, you must first find Chen Rui. Chen Rui is simply a precious pilot in the Air Force. As long as he is flying, everyone can rest assured.
Chen Rui? Qin Guan suddenly remembered Lin Xiaoxia from the Art Troupe. Lin Xiaoxia had a lot of heart for Chen Rui, as long as she matched it up.
Well, I have time to see this kid Chen Rui, who is not ready to get married yet. The old Chen family is still waiting to hold his grandson.
Everyone looked at the huge KC-10 aerial tanker landing, with unspeakable joy in their hearts. There are not many such big guys in the world! Now, Han's equipment has been upgraded to a new level.
"President Qin, Minister Amir of the Date Palm Country is here." At this moment, the Xiucai gently walked to Qin Guan's side and said to Qin Guan.
Minister Amir? Qin Guan was taken aback for a moment, he came so fast!
Looking at the giant tanker about to land, Qin Guan said, "Where is he?"
"I have arrived in the capital. I heard that you are here and are rushing towards us. It is very urgent to see him like that."
Qin nodded his head, adjusted the contradiction between them, and obtained these equipment from the Shah Nation. This must make the Date Palm Nation very anxious.
"Please go to factory 1172." Qin Guan said: "Let's leave for factory 1172, too."
The two factories are not far apart, and the 1172 factory is the production factory of Feibao. Now Feibao has completed the finalized flight test mission and is entering the production stage, so we can take them to take a look.
Do you want such a powerful flying leopard?
Flying Leopard’s first export target is Silver Country, which is also determined to be obtained. Now, Feibao’s export negotiations to Silver Country should be stepped up.
and many more!
Qin Guan suddenly thought of something.
Now we happen to have an aerial refueling machine. If we add an aerial refueling pipe to the Flying Leopard and fly the Flying Leopard directly to show the Silver Nation, this will definitely be a sensation!
Well, just make preparations like this! However, the long flight is really a test for the pilot. It seems that Chen Rui has to be dispatched.
