Chapter 658

Not only the military observers in New Delhi, but also the military observers from other foreign forces were shocked. The six yun-15 planes that can take off and land in the plateau and Gobi have already made people very surprised. Is it possible that they are not finished yet? God, is this still the well-known Chinese army fighting all over the world on the sole of its feet?

There is surprise, there is excitement, for example, from Pakistan's military observer Hussein Zarif.

When he saw that the six yun-15 planes had sent the company with heavy firepower to the highland and Gobi in a short time, his heart began to surge. You should know that the northern part of Pakistan, especially the disputed area of Kashmir, is also on the plateau.

Although there is no such abominable situation as the average altitude of 4600 meters in Ali Tibetan area, there is still an average altitude of two or three kilometers.

It also belongs to the high altitude area defined by aviation industry.

Because of this, Pakistan's military support and logistics supply to the disputed areas are also urgent, so it has also thought of many ways, such as building infrastructure.

However, it costs a lot of money and has a slow cycle. In addition to the frozen soil, snow, climate, geological disasters and other factors in the plateau area, it is virtually impossible to repair it if you want to.

Air transport is a good choice. The problem is that there are many kinds of transport aircraft in the world, but few of them are in line with Pakistan's national conditions and can meet the take-off and landing conditions in plateau areas.

The C-5 "galaxy" heavy transport aircraft of the United States is good in all aspects. The problem is whether everyone is good or not. Pakistan's financial resources are limited and can't afford to buy it.

The medium-sized C-130 transport plane is barely enough, but the price is also expensive. Pakistan reluctantly bought several by relying on the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union and the military assistance from the United States. It is usually used as a treasure, and it does not dare to use it sparingly, because this kind of goods, like other American equipment, is a madman with high repair and maintenance costs.

As for the Soviet transport planes, Pakistan basically has no idea. When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the two sides had constant discord over Afghanistan. Apart from the surface layer, they had quarreled in private for a long time. How could the Soviet Union buy such advanced transport planes from Pakistan?

In the twinkling of an eye, the European people are very concerned. The key is that the overall environment of Europe is a vast plain. Therefore, European aircraft designers consider the aircraft's antifreeze performance more than the plateau take-off and landing performance. Even for the sake of cost, they simply ignore such strict performance indicators.

Anyway, there are only a few Highlands in the world, and most of them are not traditional markets in Europe. Naturally, European aircraft manufacturers are not willing to make great efforts to do such thankless things.

Because of this, Pakistan's military initially focused on Spain's production of cn235 light transport aircraft. As a result, after two rounds of tests on the Kashmir plateau, it resolutely gave up the idea.

There's no way. The 6-ton load advocated by the Spaniards dropped sharply to 2.5 tons in Kashmir.

That's all. Because of the severe power attenuation of the engine, the take-off distance is more than 2000 meters. You should know that the Kashmir Plateau belongs to the mountainous plateau, and the terrain is extremely complex. It doesn't matter if the 2000 meter runway is in the plain, but it's hard to be human in the mountainous plateau.

Coupled with the high maintenance cost of cn235 light transport aircraft and other factors, Pakistan naturally chose to give up.

I thought that the idea of gaining local advantages in the disputed areas by introducing some high-performance aircraft was so stalled. I didn't think that when I was invited to participate in the strategic delivery exercise in the Tibetan area, I saw Yun 15, which can take off and land easily in the harsh plateau environment.

Zarif, who participated in the evaluation of the Spanish cn235 light transport aircraft at the beginning, was very excited, He patted the table and yelled: "finally found it, finally found it ~ ~"

as a result, the excitement on his side was not too good, and the roar of the engine came from the sky. Don't mention Zarif's high energy, just one burst point short of high ~ ~ ~ tide, so he quickly told the adjutant around him: "don't care about your hand in the paper, we should take good photos of every detail of the plane."

The adjutant was also aware of the importance of Yun 15 to Pakistan. He nodded heavily at Zarif and held the camera tightly as an automatic rifle.

However, just as Zarif and others were ready to witness yun-15's elegant demeanor again, a familiar figure broke through the clouds and came into the eyes of all officers and observers present.

"This is..." Zarif some can't believe his eyes, in his side is preparing to take pictures of the adjutant is stopped action, a face see ghost appearance: "how can it be an-26?"

Then he looked at his commander Zarif and asked with some surprise, "Sir, when will an-26 of the Soviet Union be able to carry out the mission of flying over 4000 meters on the plateau?"

Zarif did not speak, because at the moment he is also full of shock.

It's not only Zarif, Singh and other foreign soldiers on the scene. They all have an incredible look on their faces. They may not know yun-15, but they can't be familiar with an-26 any more. Singh from New Delhi, in particular, is a frequent passenger on an-26. Because of this, his face is even worse than that of Zarif's adjutant Hell.Because they all know very well that although the Soviet Union improved an-26 on the basis of An-24, and then claimed that it had plateau take-off and landing performance, the big guys all know that it is OK to take off and land at an altitude of less than 3000 meters, but it can take off and land at an altitude of more than 3000 meters, and its engine power attenuation is extremely severe. In addition, it consumes a lot of fuel and has poor maintainability, so an-26 usually takes off and lands at an altitude of about 2500 meters .

Now, however, the an-26 equipped by the Chinese Army actually appears in the highland Gobi with a height of 4600 meters. If it's not for the highly recognizable appearance of the aircraft, these foreign military observers guarantee that they think there is something wrong with their eyes and regard an excellent aircraft as an-26.

However, these foreign military observers have not recovered from the shock, and the next moment they will be given more shock.

Singh and godopay, in particular, almost fell on their knees when they saw the scene in front of them. They prayed directly to the cow to see if their eyes were broken.

After landing, an-26 opened the cabin, and people jumped out of it.

Yes, it's not goods or ammunition. It's officers and men with guns and live ammunition. The total number of them is 32. They are intact, full of spirit and high morale.

The an-26, which started as a cargo plane, can carry passengers after simple modification, but it can only fly at a mid low altitude of about 2000 meters.

The reason is very simple. When designing an-26, Lao maozi only installed a pressurized cabin in the cockpit. Like an-12, the passenger and cargo cabins were only equipped with some temporary oxygen absorption equipment, and there was no air tight cabin.

As a result, the high-altitude performance of an-26 is very poor. Coupled with the poor de icing system, the safe flight altitude of an-26 can only be below 5000 meters. No matter how high it is, there may be problems. As for carrying personnel to fly high, we should not even think about it.

But now, the landing place of an-26 in front of us is close to 5000 meters. That's all. The key is that the cabin is loaded with heavily armed soldiers.

In front of this, Singh and others can't help roaring. God cow, is the reality too cruel, or is a country in East Asia too magical? How can they feel that the whole world is unreal
