Chapter 76 Hello Ping Dashi

Although the old Americans and the French were not very happy in Africa, but for some reason, the Yankees still sent a very strong lineup to participate in the Paris Air Show, and the French actually chose to acquiesce.

这次美国空军不但战斗机精锐尽出,像f-22“猛禽”、f-16“战隼”、f-15“鹰”、f-18e/f“超级大黄蜂”等一架不落,就连b-1b“枪骑兵”、不死老兵b-52“同温层堡垒”等战略轰炸机也悉数登场。

Of course, the b-2 "ghost" stealth bomber still stays at home, and the Yankees will not show all their housekeeping skills.

Originally, the Americans might not even send out the F-22 "Raptor" fighter jets. So far, the F22 has only participated in the Farnborough Air Show in Great Britain, a small American partner, outside the United States.

But the air battle over Tokyo more than two months ago made the Americans lose face. The U.S. Air Force urgently needed to justify the name of the f-22. Fighter jets will also perform air demonstrations.

此外美国空军参展的军机还有ah-64d“长弓阿帕奇”武装直升机,mv-22“鱼鹰”、ch-53“超级**”、ch-47“支奴干”等运输直升机;c-17“环球霸王”、c-5“银河”战略运输机等。

The Russian side was also not to be outdone, and sent the most powerful exhibitor lineup in recent years.A total of 46 Russian companies participated in the exhibition, including famous military manufacturers such as Sukhoi, MiG, Il, Irkut, Antai, and Rosoboronexport.During exhibition halls, open-air exhibitions and aviation demonstrations, the audience was able to witness the latest achievements of the Russian aviation industry.

Although the t-50 fighter jet under development and test flight did not appear, the fighter team led by the Su-35 "Super Flanker" has an equally strong lineup, and even sent a Tu-160 "Jolly Flag" strategic bomber to compete with the Americans for the first time. .

As the host, Old Europe was unwilling to be overwhelmed by the two powerhouses. Not only did Rafale M, Mirage 2000, ef2000 "Typhoon", Jas-39'Gripen and other fighter jets participate in the exhibition, but France led the show, Sweden, The "Neuron" stealth drone jointly developed by Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Greece.

As for the field of civil aircraft, large wide-body airliners are still the duo of Boeing and Airbus. Business aircraft manufacturers Bombardier and Embraer also have a lot to watch.

But what makes people feel funny is that even though the major aviation powers have tried their best, the most popular one at this air show is the Chinese delegation with a bunch of models participating in the exhibition.

The aftermath of the Emirates hijacking has not yet dissipated. In the past two days, the global media has been full of reports of the hijacking, especially the four guards who participated in the anti-hijacking operation and the young man who successfully landed the plane at Paris-Charles de Gaulle International Airport at the last moment. , is still the focus of media discussion.

On the night of June 6, the hijacking of the Emirates Airline at Charles de Gaulle Airport even made the headlines on CCTV’s 2 o’clock “News Network” for the first time, and gave nearly 7 minutes of broadcast time.

Although there is a lot of complaints about this program on the Internet, for example, the first 10 minutes, the national leaders are very busy, the middle 10 minutes, the people of the whole country are very happy, and the last 10 minutes, other countries are miserable.

In fact, everyone knows that the news on "News Lianbo" usually contains some kind of political meaning, and it depends on how people interpret it.

And Chen Xin did not expect that the official media would be so powerful. The only thing that made him feel lucky was that in the news, apart from the names, there were no photos of Chen Xin, Yan Shan and others. For Chen Xin The introduction is that he is a senior executive of a domestic company, and he is going abroad for business activities.

Even so, the names of Chen Xin, Yan Shan, Le Yong, Chang Xiaoning, and Liu Hong have resounded all over the world.

In the past few days, except for Chen Xin who occasionally went out for a stroll, Yan Shan and the others basically hid in their rooms and did not come out. Qiao Ting seemed to be elusive, and she was often not seen when eating.

The reporters haven't found the hotel where Chen Xin and the others are staying, and many reporters have asked the Chinese side. The Chinese side said that Chen Xin and the others are cooperating with the French police in the investigation. All information released by the French side shall prevail.

At the beginning, the French police said that the hijacking case was still under investigation, and they would only announce the identities of Chen Xin and the others after the results of the investigation came out. Later, the pressure of public opinion was too great, and the French Minister of the Interior had to come forward to explain that, out of In consideration of protecting the safety and privacy of the parties concerned, the specific identities of the five persons will be kept confidential for the time being.However, the young man who flew the plane and landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport will accept a joint interview with French National TV and Agence France-Presse in the near future. This program will be broadcast on June 6, which calms down the public opinion a little.

And with the opening of the Paris Air Show, most journalists hoped to hear news about Chen Xin and the others from the Chinese delegation, so the attention of the Chinese delegation was naturally high.

………………

After entering Boucher Airport, Chen Xin separated from Qiao Ting and his group. Affected by the hijacking incident, people of yellow race were quite popular at the Paris Air Show. Many people saw Chen Xin's yellow skin and dark eyes , they all greeted him friendly.

Chen Xin responded with a nod and a smile. Around his neck was a professional photo camera transformed from a steel coin, which looked no different from an ordinary photojournalist.

Today is the first day of the opening of the air show. Unfortunately, the weather in Paris today is not good, the clouds are overcast, and there are still traces of rain in the sky. Not long after Chen Xin entered the air show, he got the news from the radio. All air shows are cancelled.

But it didn't matter to Chen Xin, he wasn't here to watch the air show. After entering the air show, he went straight to the outdoor static exhibition area.

There were already many photographers around the Raptor. Although he had fought against this plane before, it was the first time for Chen Xin to watch this plane so closely.

The f-22 adopts a single-seat layout with two vertical tails and two engines. The vertical tail is inclined outward at 27 degrees, which is just on the edge of the general stealth design.The air inlets on both sides are installed under the extension surface of the leading edge of the wing (strip wing). Like the nozzle, they are all designed to suppress infrared radiation. The main wing and the horizontal stabilizer adopt the same sweep angle and trailing edge forward sweep The corners are all trapezoidal planes with a small aspect ratio, the blister-shaped canopy protrudes from the upper part of the front fuselage, and all weapons are concealedly hung in the 4 internal bomb bays.

It has a high trapezoidal wing with an integrated tail on the horizontal plane with a comprehensive aerodynamic shape, including vertical tails with rudders that are widely spaced apart and canted outwards, and the horizontal stabilizer is arranged directly adjacent to the wing.

Due to the use of small reflective shapes, stealth coatings and composite materials that absorb radio waves, the minimum radar reflective surface (rcs) of f22 design is about 0.005-0.01 square meters.

This means that on the radar screen, the reflection cross section of f22 is only about the same as that of a flying bird.

Moreover, Americans also widely use polymeric composite materials (km) of thermally processed plastics (12%) and artificial fibers (10%) on the airframe, and the proportion (by weight) of composite materials (km) used on mass-produced machines is even higher. up 35%.

As the most advanced combat aircraft in the world, the F22 can enter high-threat theaters and seize air supremacy by virtue of its advanced stealth, supersonic cruise, close combat and integrated avionics systems.

Of course, f22 is not without its shortcomings.

Since the f-22 was developed according to the atf plan in the 80s, the main goal of the atf plan was to go deep into the territory of the former Soviet Union to seize air supremacy and cover the b-2 bomber for penetration. Therefore, the f-22, like its predecessor f-15, has no The pound weight is used for ground attack, and taking into account the stealth capability, so although the f-22 is equipped with a link-16 terminal, it only receives and does not send. In particular, it cannot exchange information with other combat aircraft through data links.

Therefore, although the f-22 has a powerful information acquisition capability, it cannot provide information support to other combat units. According to relevant data, the f-22's alr-94 electronic support reconnaissance system has a combination of radar warning and electronic support measures (e* *), precise direction finding and narrow beam alternate search and track functions.

When cruising at high altitude, it can receive electronic signals from opponents more than 300 kilometers away. The large-scale and high-precision detection capabilities allow traditional e-guns to break through the limitations of defense and become key equipment for detecting, tracking and attacking targets.

However, due to the lack of data link equipment, the targets acquired by the Alr-94 cannot be transmitted to the external command and control system, forming an information island phenomenon of the F-22, which obviously reduces the capability of the overall combat system to a certain extent.In a series of subsequent upgrades, improvements to the f-22's data link were included in key projects.

In addition, due to the initial positioning, the f-22 did not consider ground strikes when it was originally designed.However, judging from the experience of several air battles since the 90s, the U.S. Air Force generally has absolute air supremacy at the beginning of the war, so the f-15, which has no ground attack capability, is basically in a state of doing nothing in the middle and late stages of the war. Also a waste.

Especially in the new century, the F-117 attack aircraft of the U.S. Air Force has been decommissioned due to aging and maintenance costs. In this way, the U.S. Air Force has lost its stealth attack capability in the theater, which will inevitably increase the burden on the existing B-2 strategic bombers.

Therefore, the U.S. Air Force has also made corresponding adjustments to the combat capabilities of the f-22, adding ground attack capabilities. Compared with the f-117, the biggest feature of the f-22 is that it integrates air combat and ground attack capabilities. Mount air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground weapons, and attack ground targets after performing air combat missions, without the need for a dedicated escort fleet.

For the U.S. Air Force, these are minor problems. Relying on a series of follow-up improvement plans, the f22 can still guarantee its status as the most powerful fighter in the world in the next ten years.

Before the f22 entered service, the United States [***] had put forward a series of requirements for the maintenance and logistics of the f-22.

For example, in the case of a high attack, the f-22 must be able to carry out the next attack within 15 minutes. The special maintenance computer allows the ground crew technicians to read the required information without entering the cockpit when the engine is running. There are 1300 maintenance instructions stored in the computer.And most of the repairs can be carried out directly in the hangar or repair shop, saving more manpower.

此外,一个中队24架f-22执行30天的任务仅需要8架次c-141运输机补给和258名技术员,f-22可以在平均8.5架次出动后才需要重大维修,而f-15只有5.4架次。

However, after serving in service, the U.S. military discovered that the f22's maintenance cost and maintainability were far from what it expected.

The "Washington Post" once reported that a confidential test result of the Pentagon showed that the top fighter jet in the United States, the F-22 produced by Lockheed Martin, needs more than 1 hours of maintenance for every hour of flying in the sky. That puts it at more than $30 an hour to fly, a figure that vastly exceeds the fighter jet it replaces.

The Raptor's radar-absorbing metal skin is susceptible to rain and wear and tear as the main cause of the maintenance problem, according to Pentagon officials, internal documents and a former engineer.

Generally speaking, most aircraft will become easier and cheaper to maintain when they mature, but the maintenance trend of the F-22 has been reversed in recent years. Not long ago, Pentagon officials revealed that from October last year to May this year, On average, only 10 percent of deployed F-5s are capable of defending US airspace.

This is also an important reason why f22 chose to stop production after 187 aircraft were produced.

While Chen Xin was wandering around the f22 and taking pictures of it, a middle-aged bald man in a mountain camouflage uniform walked over with a camera in his arms. The other party held his hand in stunned eyes and said, "Isn't this Ping Dashi (Note 1)? Hello, hello!"

Note: Ping Dashi, the founder of a certain defense commentary, a well-known military expert, is rumored to be the head of the North American station of the Bureau of War and Negligence (sfa). Deeply misunderstood.
