Chapter 45 Air Force Base Taobao
"General Nikola, I'm so happy to see you." From afar, Zubayev, the head of the aviation base, came up with a smile on his face. When he saw the two strange faces beside Nikola, he was a little surprised: "What are these two?"
"Zubayev, they are my friends." Nikola said openly: "This is Qin, this is Qin's beautiful secretary."
"I'm very happy to know you. We'll have a few drinks tonight." Qin Tao stretched out his hand to Zubayev: "Let's come here to see what you don't want to rag and help you clean it up."
Zubayev reacted instantly. If he took away the rags from him, he could get a piece of the pie! Moreover, when Qin Tao mentioned drinking, Zubayev's eyes shone brightly.
"Of course there are many good things here, such as..."
"Is that the large MiG-25? I heard that it is made of stainless steel, and buying scrap iron is also valuable. If this kind of aircraft is eliminated..." Qin Tao pointed his hand at the plane beside him.
The large MiG-25? The MiG-25 is equipped by the National Air Defense Forces. What does the large MiG-25 mean? When Zubayev looked over, he was immediately amazed.
"Qin, that's our Tu-22M bomber, not the large MiG-25. Look at the vertical tail, our bomber is a single vertical tail." Zubayev held back his laughter and explained to Qin Tao.
He is really a military blind man!
Of course we know it's Tu-22M, but we just pretended not to understand it on purpose.
Qin Tao looked at Tu-22M with his eyes rippling. This is the big weapon of the aircraft carrier!
The products under the Tupolev Design Bureau are all started with pictures. They are engaged in large aircraft, and all kinds of big guys who make the West dare to be afraid of the enemy come from their subordinates.
Tu-22M is an outstanding representative.
Speaking of this model, there are actually two models. The early Tu-22 is a model that replaces the Tu-16. It adopts a conventional layout and only has two cylindrical engines installed above the tail wing, which is similar to the layout of the early passenger aircraft. Although it has supersonic flight capabilities in theory, it actually has many restrictions, which is a waste of money.
Originally, Tupolev, with his status as a design bureau, thought that whatever he produced, the Red Empire's aviation troops would have to be equipped. As a result, the military was very angry and the consequences were serious. Sukhoi's T4 bomber stood out.
Seeing that his cake was about to be divided by others, Tupolev was anxious and simply pushed it down and started again, creating a variable sweep wing bomber, which is Tu-22M.
Judging from the appearance, this bomber has nothing to do with the Tu-22. It is more like the single vertical tail enlarged version of the MiG-25. The huge rectangular air intake, the huge wings, and the engine that can stand in people all show the awesomeness of this aircraft.
Tu-22M was soon finalized and put into service. Not only the Air Force and Land Air Defense Forces were equipped, but also the Navy Aviation Forces were equipped with a large number.
The model of naval equipment is of course to perform anti-ship missions. It can carry three Kh-22 anti-ship ballistics designed by the Rainbow Bureau (NATO is code-named AS-4 Kitchen), and fly supersonically to the American aircraft carrier formation, launch outside the opponent's air defense fire circle, that is, six hundred kilometers away, and then spread its wings and leaves.
If several aviation regiments' Tu-22M attacked together, it would definitely be a nightmare for the US Navy.
Many military fans were sighing. After the disintegration of the Russians, why didn’t we buy the Tu-22M? If we could buy it back, we would not be at a loss when facing the American aircraft carrier.
But, do you think a killer like Tu-22M is easy to buy?
Now is Qin Tao's first attempt.
"So is it made of stainless steel? If we put it back and remove it, we can build a stainless steel washbasin..."
"Qin, it is made of aluminum alloy, and this kind of aircraft is in service. If you want to see it, you can do it. If you want one, I'm sorry, no." Zubayev's answer was very straightforward.
Qin Tao glanced at the sky. At this time, the sun had already set. If you want to find the right junk to complete the transaction before dark, you have to move quickly.
"It's okay if you don't, let's continue to look. By the way, what exactly do you have here?"
Qin Tao is going to fight quickly. If he drags on, he might make his old friend Nichola suspicious, and that would be a problem.
"Please follow me here." Zubayev and everyone walked through the Tu-22M aircraft group, through the Yak-38 aircraft group, through the helicopter aircraft group, and arrived at the foot of the mountain that Qin Tao and the others did not visit last time. A group of large aircraft appeared in front of Qin Tao.
The body is very large, with a row of portholes from front to back, which means it is a passenger aircraft. However, there is no engine under its wings and tail. The cylindrical engine bay is arranged at the base of the wings.
This is the layout plan of the early bomber. Since the engine is close to the fuselage, even if one of the unreliable engines is shut down, the aircraft can still keep flying.
As for the passenger plane in front of us, of course, it was the Tu-104 passenger plane modified based on the Tu-16 bomber. In the early days of the Cold War, many passenger planes in many countries were modified based on the bomber, and the Russians were well aware of this.
The Tu-16 bomber has another descendant in China, namely the H-6. After repairing and repairing, it has been used until the 21st century.
"Since the Tu-104 passenger plane accident a few years ago, we have eliminated all of this passenger plane. Because civil aviation does not have a suitable airport, all of these eight Tu-104 passenger planes have been placed on our open space." Zubayev said: "These passenger planes should have been thrown away long ago. Qin, if you want, you will give them all eight aircraft."
Speaking of this air crash, Nicholas present also had a serious expression on his face.
In February 1981, the Soviet Navy Joint Combat Command Exercise was held at the Leningrad Naval Base. The Pacific Fleet among the four major fleets received an "excellent" assessment from the Navy Commander-in-Chief. This made them very happy. After the exercise, these local buns from the Far East purchased a large number of TV, refrigerators, washing machines and other furniture from the large shopping mall in Leningrad.
It is said that they put these things on warships and transport them back, which is the safest thing, but it takes several months for warships to go back to the Pacific Fleet in a big circle. In order to deliver the gifts to their relatives before Women's Day, the generals asked the Tu-104 passenger plane to be brought back.
On the morning of the 7th, it was snowing heavily at the Pushkin City military airport. However, the Russian, who had always been crazi, didn't care at all and continued to take the plane back. As a result, it took just eight seconds to take off, and even fell down before the plane left the runway.
Admiral Andurt Sbilidnov, commander of the Pacific Fleet, and Lieutenant General Goorki Pavlov, commander of the fleet aviation force, all fell to death and burned to death. The top leaders of the Pacific Fleet were almost taken down.
Of course, if these people were not leaving, then people like Nikola and Zubayev might not have the chance to climb to the high position.
All the culprits, Tu 104 passenger planes, have been retired, and eight of them are left at the base here.
Qin Tao looked at the eliminated passenger planes, swallowed and said, "Can these planes still fly?"
