Nitka base?

Qin Tao's eyes suddenly lit up.

It took no effort to get there even though there was no place to look for. Originally, Qin Tao was thinking about how to find a chance to hunt for treasures at the Nitka base, but he had no way out. Now, the opportunity has finally come!

Wow, wow! Qin Tao opened the gift he brought, took out some wine and meat, and placed it on the terrace table.

"Today is such a good day. It's fate that we can get together here. Come on, have a drink!"

Put aside other things first, and after you finish drinking, of course things can be settled.

Nitka base!

Zheng Ming, who was silently doing the work, was excited.

In addition to being a famous tourist destination, the beautiful Crimean Peninsula also has three places that are very famous. One is the capital Simferopol, which is the largest city on the island, and the other is the port of Sevastopol.

, countless wars have occurred here, and it is still a famous military port. Yalta is also the most famous tourist city, and it was once recorded in history because of a conference.

These three locations are located exactly on the three vertices of an approximate equilateral triangle. As for the Nitka base, it is located on the northwest side of them. By connecting the Nitka base, a parallelogram can be formed.

Nitka Base is unknown compared to the other three places, but in the eyes of professionals, it is quite important because it is a training base for carrier-based aircraft aviation!

Even if it is a helicopter, if you want to land on the deck of a warship, you cannot rush for success. You have to practice it many times on land and finally land in a small circle.

It is even more difficult to land on a shaking aircraft carrier deck.

You must practice first, and after a period of training and adaptation, you can board the ship. This requires a specialized land simulation training system for carrier-based aircraft.

When Lao Maozi decided to build a heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser, they also needed such a system, so they built this facility at the Sakhi Aviation Base in the Crimean Peninsula.

Therefore, speaking of the Nitka system, it does not exist in isolation. It is located in the southwest corner of the Saki Air Force Base, next to the base's widest main runway.

However, because the Nitka base is very famous in professional circles, the ordinary Saki aviation base has almost been forgotten. When mentioning it, Nitka base will always be mentioned.

In 1976, the construction of this system began. The key to it was a five-meter-high, 60-meter-long, and 30-meter-long T-1 ground ski jump. This T is actually the Russian word for jump.

The initials of . To build this thing, thousands of tons of steel were used.

Of course, in addition to the T-1 ground skid deck, the base also has carrier-based aircraft landing arresting devices, command and control systems and other facilities. After several years of construction, this system was officially put into use in 1982, and has since become

An important training ground for the Laomaozi carrier-based fixed-wing flying force.

Even in the later stages, after Mao tightened his belt and equipped the Kuznetsov with Su-33 carrier-based aircraft, he had to rent the base here to train his own pilots.

(Actually, when it comes to training bases, this is not the only one. Lao Maozi has built relatively small aircraft carrier simulation decks in Novorossiysk and Baku. However, because they are too small, the Su-33 cannot

Taking off and landing, if you want to train, you have to use Nitka.)

At present, although there is no official project in the country, in Mr. Liu's mind, the aircraft carrier project must be launched, and the supporting equipment must be brought back!

There are a lot of good things in the training base for aircraft carrier-based pilots. If you have the chance, you can get them all!

Thinking of this, Zheng Ming's eyes sparkled.

Yarmolenko was just bored and came to visit Makarov. After all, the two of them were in the same system. Unexpectedly, he met a guest from the East. The nuclear-powered heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser was

It was broken into scrap metal and piled up without anyone wanting it. Later, a mysterious guest from the East bought it. Yarmolenko was very curious. Now that he had met the real owner, how could he not be happy.

With good wine and food, this little life is very good. Even if you just tear open the package and eat the cooked beef with your hands, it will be very good.

"Come on, Qin, let me respect you!" Yarmolenko raised the bottle.

After a hearty meal of wine, Qin Tao finally made his request when it was over.

"I'm curious about your Nitka base. Can I go there and have a look?"

"Of course, no problem." Yarmolenko nodded: "I'll take you there right away!"

"This, are you okay?"

"Of course." Yarmolenko said, stood up, swayed, and got under the table.

The next day, a passenger ship departed from Nikolaev City and headed for the Crimean Peninsula. At around ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Tao and others arrived at the Nitka base.

Weeds are growing wantonly, and the multi-story buildings in the base that resemble a ship island are covered with green ivy. In the distance, there is the endless Black Sea.

"This is a really nice place. If this land is developed, it can definitely become a resort." Qin Tao put forward this suggestion.

If you want to be rich, then develop real estate. Build a resort here, with sea view rooms or something like that. It will definitely be popular!

Yarmolenko shook his head: "Qin, this is a military base, not a tourist attraction. As for beaches, there are many on the Crimean Peninsula."

Although this place is temporarily abandoned, if it is to be transformed into a resort, many people who have lived and worked here will still be filled with resentment.

Qin Tao smiled: "I'm just talking. It's too deserted here. If a resort is built, there will be more people. By the way, can we go up and have a look?"

The tallest building here is the one that looks like an aircraft carrier island. There are two rows of two-story buildings on both sides, and a four-story building in the middle. There is also an octagonal observation floor on the top with windows tilted outward, completely imitating an aircraft carrier.

It is designed with the ship island in mind.

"Okay." Yarmolenko took out the key, opened the rusty Iron General, walked through the dusty stairs, and reached the top floor.

The view here is wide, and everything around you can be seen at a glance, including green weeds, yellow land, and a dark red area.

"That area looks like rust, right?" Qin Tao pointed at the dark red area and said.

"Yes, that's our Nitka system." Yarmolenko proudly introduced: "Although it looks flat with the ground, in fact, there are three layers of structure underground, all metal, using a

More than 10,000 tons of steel.”

A T-1 ski jump deck uses several thousand tons of steel. Including the landing part at the back, it is three-layered. It is normal to use more than 10,000 tons of steel as a whole.

This is simply a land aircraft carrier!

"If we only build a ski jump deck, wouldn't we need so much steel?" Zheng Ming couldn't help but ask.

Even if it is to build an aircraft carrier, how much steel can be used? Isn’t it a bit overkill to use more than 10,000 tons of steel to build a simulation platform?

"Of course not." Yarmolenko shook his head: "The entire deck has a huge hydraulic device underneath, which can tilt the deck and simulate the shaking of the warship at sea. Only in this way can it be close to the actual situation."

Even if it is an old 100,000-ton aircraft carrier like the United States, the deck will shake from side to side when sailing on the sea. The carrier-based aircraft will take off easily, but when it comes to landing, if you are not experienced, you will be really scared.

This huge dark red simulation deck can actually move?

Zheng Ming felt extremely shocked. This big guy could move. It was really a big project!

If our own side wants to develop an aircraft carrier, it must also have such a training base on land, which will be a huge investment!

However, no matter how much it costs, the relevant systems must be put in place!

Today is a rare opportunity, so be sure to read more, think more, and remember more!

With this thought, he continued to look down.

The dark red rusty area is a simulated aircraft carrier deck, but it is very different from a real aircraft carrier deck. It does not need to consider other things, just take off and land.

In addition to the T-1 ski jump platform, you can also see a long deck area not far away, so Zheng Ming asked: "What's over there?"

"The area of ​​the steam catapult." Yarmolenko was very familiar with the situation here and answered immediately.

"Steam catapult? Is it for use on that nuclear-powered warship?"

"Yes."

It is said that steam catapults are difficult and only Americans can possess this technology. In fact, if you want to do it, you can make it.

On the Ulyanovsk, Lao Maozi planned to equip the angled deck with a steam catapult so that an early warning aircraft could be ejected.

By the time the Red Empire collapsed, 30% of this nuclear-powered warship had been built. Of course, the supporting technology had to be mature. The steam catapult technology prepared for this warship was in the Nitka base.

Ripe for experimentation.

Unfortunately, with the collapse of the red empire, this set of steam catapults also disappeared from history.

"Can we go take a look?" Zheng Ming couldn't wait to hear the steam catapult.

"Cough, cough." Qin Tao coughed twice, and then said: "Why didn't you see the carrier-based aircraft?"

Of course Qin Tao knew that there was a steam catapult in the Nitka base, but he was not interested in this thing. He had pinned his hopes on the electromagnetic catapult to directly overtake in corners.

Funds are limited, and there is no need to waste it on these outdated technologies, so he changed the topic.

Coming to the Nitka base, Qin Tao's target is definitely not the steam catapult, but the carrier-based aircraft!

After coming up, Qin Tao searched everywhere, but couldn't find even a plane.

Could it be that all those planes were taken away by Mao? No, there should be a few here. Could it be that they were put in the hangar of Saki Air Force Base? This is not right, Mao is not so careful.

After hearing Qin Tao's question, Yarmolenko pointed to the nearby grass: "Over there!"

The weeds were too high, and due to the angle, Qin Tao didn't even notice the plane hidden in the grass!

Now, following the direction of Yarmolenko's finger, Qin Tao observed carefully. Sure enough, under the blow of the sea breeze, the weeds were swaying back and forth, and the planes were looming.

"Let's go over and take a look!"

Zheng Ming gave up his obsession with the steam catapult, followed Qin Tao, ran down the stairs, and then ran straight into the grass.

What a waste! These planes are considered a waste here at Lao Maozi. They should be allowed to go to the East and play their role there!

The withered yellow weeds can actually grow to the same height as reeds! It’s unbelievable. Yarmolenko commanded a soldier and drove a lawnmower to open up a road.

Along this road, Qin Tao came to the side of the fighter plane.
