A Mercenary’s War

Helicopters are too important in Gao Yang's plan, so he can put everything first, and he has to look at the plane first.

Many fighters were parked on the runway of the airport. Gao Yang looked at it, basically all MiGs, and the most frequent takeoff and landing was MiG 27. During his arrival, there have been four sorties. Dropped.

A group of people left the runway in a mighty way, passing behind a row of fighter planes placed on both sides of the runway. After passing between the two hangars, a large helipad was seen.

Reaching the apron, in a corner near the airport control tower, Giranor pointed to three helicopter lanes: "Major, that is the plane prepared for you."

Two Mi-24 female deer armed transport helicopters and one MiG-17 Hippo transport helicopter, Gao Yang already knows what they will get, which is not surprising. Syria is almost all Russian-made weapons. In terms of helicopters that can be provided, it can be said It is lackluster. In addition to these two, Gao Yang does not expect any helicopters from the Syrian side.

It can be seen from all angles that the Syrian side attaches importance to this cooperation. Although the top person in charge of the airport did not appear, but only an ensign was sent to greet, the three helicopters were full of people standing around, no need to ask, it must be the crew Personnel and specially arranged ground handling.

There are two pilots next to the two Mi-24 helicopters, and three people are standing next to Mi-17, because the crew members of Mi-17 are three≮∝, ww∧w. In addition to the co-pilot, there is also a random mechanic.

Even if the flight performance of the Mi-17 is not as good as the Black Hawk, the most annoying thing is that the crew must be three people, and a random mechanic is indispensable. You can even remove a pilot. There is no shortage of random mechanics. For Gao Yang, pilots are easy to find, but the professional level of the random mechanics of Mi 17 is too strong. This is really hard to find.

Gao Yang has been worried. He is worried about whether Israel and Irene, the pilots they trained in the West, can fly Russian aircraft. After all, the cockpit and the operating system. The instruments and the like are different from the ones they have flown before.

Fortunately, though, Israel is not equipped with Russian helicopters, but they have training courses on how to fly Russian aircraft. After many wars, the Russian weapons seized by Israel are stored by Israel and used as imaginary enemy troops. Equipment, or storage to deal with in case, so Jaclán and the old pilots really have practiced, although it may not be familiar, but it will not be too strange. You can fly if you get used to it.

Of course, the best way is to find a pilot from Russia. After all, they are most familiar with Russian aircraft, but unfortunately, good pilots have not been found, and Syrian pilots, given their poor record and only an average of 30 hours of flight time a year, Gao Yang is really unbelievable.

A few people approached the plane, and Jakran and Irene, who were driving the transport plane, walked straight to the transport plane, while the four old pilots walked directly to Mi-24.

After walking to the Mi-24 helicopter, Gao Yang touched the dual-mounted 23mm cannon mounted on the nose, then nodded and said, "Is this Mi-24e?"

Gilanor immediately said: "Yes, sir, both are Mi-24e."

The two helicopters have 57 mm rocket nests mounted on the short wings, as well as a pair of at6 anti-tank missiles, and a pair of 80 mm rocket nests. The nose is a double-mounted 23 mm cannon, and the firepower is very powerful.

Gao Yang nodded in satisfaction, and the Syrian side took out all the good things at the bottom of the press box.

At this moment, Gao Yang saw several helicopters seemingly placed on the tarmac in the distance. He pointed to the small plane he saw and said, "Is that a small antelope?"

Giranor immediately said: "Yes, sir, sa342l small antelope helicopter."

Gao Yang pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if you have a small antelope, can you give us a small antelope, make a modification, and add a 12.7 mm caliber machine gun to the back seat space?"

If Groryov wants to participate in assault operations, his ability is wasted. Gao Yang does not want a machine gun artist to stay on the Mi-24 to watch it lively, nor does he want Grolov to take the Mi-17 and then hold the machine gun as an assault The hand, suitable for Grolev is to take a small and flexible helicopter, get a very good view in the air, and carry out flexible and effective fire suppression.

Gao Yang made a new request, and Giranol immediately said: "Sir, I will reflect your request to the superior."

Gao Yang nodded, looked at the straight pilot standing next to the helicopter, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Lieutenant, we have our own pilot. As a whole, we will use our own pilot, but I need you. Provide a random mechanic for Mi 17. "

Gilanor said in a deep voice: "If you can guarantee that the pilots of your ministry have sufficient capabilities, this is no problem, sir."

Gao Yang nodded and smiled: "You don't need to worry about their ability, I am very confident in them. Thank you for your cooperation, Ensign, can we now let our pilots check the mechanical condition?"

Gilanor immediately said: "Of course, at any time."

Gao Yang snapped his fingers, and said to several pilots, Irene and Jaclane, "What should you check, do you know?"

Jacqueline laughed and said, "Of course, of course, hey, beauty, let's go in and look at the meter first?"

And after four old pilots from Israel gathered together, the oldest pilot pointed to the helicopter path behind him: "We want number one."

The pilot opposite him immediately said: "No! We want number one!"

"we are the best."

"Pooh!"

"How does that compare?"

"More than flying, fighting a fight, or the most peaceful way, tossing a coin."

"Okay, toss a coin. Do you have a coin?"

"No, that's longer than anyone's flight time."

"I have flown five aircraft types for 32 years and more than 5,200 flight hours!"

"Oh, the guy is not bad, but I have flown all models, flying for 35 years, more than 6,500 flight hours."

The four old pilots got together and grunted for a while. A gray-haired old man walked triumphantly towards the newly-painted helicopter, while the other pair went unwillingly to the second.

Gao Yang was silly. He also flew a helicopter, but only had a civilian model, and then had 20 hours of flying experience accompanied by a coach, 20 hours of solo flight experience, a total of 40 hours, the United States got the flight The minimum of driving license.

Checking an airplane is not like checking a car. Open the hood. Checking an airplane is much more complicated.

The three pairs of people got into the plane, advanced cockpit, power on to see what the instruments are, and then they all flew off, the engine started, the rotor was turned on the ground, first try the engine or something, then, a few pilots did not think Trouble again leave the cockpit, with the cooperation of the ground crew, open all the places that can be opened and look closely.

After reading it, the Israeli pilot who was not the oldest, but the longest flying time approached Gaoyang, and then frowned and said, "My aircraft maintains a shit! I refuse to fly, you heard that Is the sound of the engine? My mother in her 80s is better than this plane! Much stronger! "

All who can deal with Gao Yang are English-speaking, and Giranor was not happy when he heard it. He immediately frowned: "Sir, if you dare not fly, we have pilots!"

"I dare not fly? Haha, it's funny! I'm not ground handling, and I don't know the time limit for the overhaul of the Mi-17's engine, but tell me, do you maintain and maintain according to the Russian maintenance manual? Is there?"

Gilanor frowned, but he didn't speak.

Gao Yang screamed badly in his heart. He was not afraid of the conflict, but what he worried about was that the maintenance level of the Syrian aircraft was as bad as he heard, or even worse.

Before coming to Syria, Gao Yang and Jihad contacted many times, and Jihad had guaranteed that their plane was absolutely no problem. Unfortunately, Jihad and Gaoyang did not have the same reliability standards, and the most troublesome Yes, Gao Yang is still inexperienced, thinking that he and Jihad have the same standards for aircraft reliability and safety.

At this moment, Irene and Jaclán also got off the plane.

The life-threatening events should not be vague, nor should they be reserved just because they want to save face. Irene frowned tightly and shook his head to Yang Yang: "You don't have to open it to see it, the maintenance is too bad."

Gao Yang sighed helplessly, and then said to Gilanor: "Lieutenant, can you send your best ground crew and mechanic?"

Giranor wanted to say something, but he finally said with some sorrow: "It's all here."

Gao Yang understands Giranol. He must have a sense of humiliation at this time. The poor army is weak. He was criticized by a group of outsiders.

But the facts are the facts. Gilanor is a technical talent. He should know what the facts are, and the facts are to promote what they say.

Gao Yang was helpless. At that time, the old pilot said: "I'm not afraid of being shot down by missiles or anti-aircraft guns in the sky, but I can't accept driving a problematic aircraft. It is my problem to be shot down, but the mechanical failure fell. It's unbearable. If you want to fly these planes, you must carry out the necessary maintenance, comprehensive, detailed and systematic maintenance to ensure that there are no problems, so you must either give me an excellent mechanic to take charge of my aircraft. Either I leave. "

Ai Lin said with a tangled face: "Sir, this plane really can't work, maybe it's fine to fly ten times and one hundred times, but it may also fall off for the first time. This, this is really not guaranteed."

After Gao Yang scratched his head, he waved his hand and said, "Well, we still have time, and the staff hasn't been here yet. Waiting for me for three days, I will find you an excellent mechanic to ensure that your plane is safe. "
