Chapter 906: H-6KS
In order to welcome the launch of the H-6K/S, Xi'an Aircraft Corporation has been preparing for a long time. The entire launch ceremony site was decorated very festively, waiting for the leaders and guests who came to attend the launch ceremony.
The H-6K/S assembly plant was very lively. Hundreds of employee representatives came and formed a square team to welcome the leaders and guests.
A H-6K/S, wearing a big red flower, with a piece of canvas covering the fuselage, so that people can't see its true appearance. At this time, it stayed there quietly, like a bride covered with a red veil.
This made Liu Tao's memory emerge a very vague stalk in the depths of his memory. This stalk has become very clear now. At that time, there was a recruitment advertisement issued by the Chinese Air Force circulating on the Internet. One of the sections was a strategic bomber covered with canvas. No one knew whether it was the H-20 stealth strategic bomber or Liu Ye.
At that time, the H-20 strategic bomber was very much anticipated, but it had never been revealed. Except for a leader of the Air Force who revealed on TV a few years ago that a strategic bomber was being developed, no one knew what it looked like.
There was no way. Every time it was speculated that China was developing a new strategic bomber, the result was an improved version of the H-6.
For so many years, no one knew how many improved versions of the H-6 had been developed.
There are too many types of H.
Liu Tao smiled. It was actually the same in this life. The H-6 had undergone too many improvements before and after, and there were already more than a dozen improved models.
At present, the H-6K/S is the latest improved model, and it is a major improvement.
If it weren't for the fact that the H-6K/S seemed to be related to the H-6, normal people would not think that this was the same bomber.
At the off-line ceremony, a long red carpet was laid from the entrance to the rostrum.
Liu Tao chatted with the leaders of the Air Force and the aviation industry. They were very satisfied with the H-6K/S. The performance improvement was not a little bit, and it would take a short time for the first flight after it was off the line.
It can be mass-produced later, and the Air Force can't wait to mass-produce the H-6K/S.
Finally, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the H-6K/S off-line ceremony officially began.
The leaders gave speeches one after another, highly praising the H-6K/S, calling it the core of China's future air strategic force and a magic weapon to deter jackals, tigers and leopards, and then affirmed the efforts and hard work of the H-6K/S development team and the hard work of the workers.
After the leaders finished their speeches, it was time to unveil the curtain. Liu Tao and the leaders of the Air Force and the Aviation Industry pulled down the canvas on the fuselage of the H-6K/S.
At this time, the H-6K/S finally appeared in front of everyone!
Many guests and leaders who had never seen the H-6K/S couldn't help but exclaimed. There was really not much similarity between the H-6K/S and the old H-6. Not only the nose had changed a lot, but the entire fuselage and wings had changed. The whole H-6K/S became very good-looking, and even the engine air intake had changed.
It can be said that the H-6K/S is a brand new bomber.
Liu Tao had a smile on his face. With the continuous improvement of manufacturing technology over the years, the appearance of the improved H-6 is becoming more and more beautiful.
This H-6K/S, not to mention, adopts the most advanced manufacturing technology in China at present, and has been greatly modified in all aspects, using the most advanced technology in China at present.
All the aircraft guns have been cancelled and given to electronic jamming equipment.
The maximum range of the H-6K/S reaches 9500, the total length is 42.46 meters, the wingspan is 34.28m when fully extended, 23.3 meters when fully retracted, the total height is 11.05 meters, the wing area is 175.80 square meters, the empty weight is 50,000 kg, the maximum take-off weight is 135,000 kg, the maximum fuel load is 55,000 kg, the maximum external weapon load is 33,000 kg, and it can carry a variety of missiles and bombs to attack different types of targets.
For example, it can carry aerial bombs, the "Pili" series missiles, the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles, etc.
In addition, the H-6K/S can also perform electronic warfare missions, using highly advanced systems to monitor and attack enemy drones, and interfere with enemy communications and radar systems.
The maximum speed at sea level reaches Mach 1, the maximum speed at high altitude reaches Mach 1.5 (altitude 15,000 meters), the cruising speed is 950 kilometers per hour (altitude 12,000 meters), and the practical ceiling is 15,500 meters.
The H-6K/S is also equipped with the Beidou satellite navigation system, which can perform satellite navigation to avoid getting lost.
The crew is 4 people, uniformly arranged at the nose, divided into 2 rows, 2 people in each row, respectively, the driver, co-pilot, electronic warfare/communications officer and navigator/bomber officer, all sitting forward, and equipped with independent ejection seats.
The avionics system is reconstructed, the cockpit is stripped with a large-screen LCD, the human-machine engineering is optimized, and the operation is greatly simplified.
It can be said that the performance of the H-6K/S has been greatly enhanced and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. In particular, it is capable of launching long-range air-to-ground cruise missiles, which can greatly improve the strategic strike capability of the Air Force.
No wonder the Air Force is grinning.
Liu Tao also understood the good mood of the Air Force leaders. Just one H-6K/S can theoretically carry about 10 'Eagle Strike-10' anti-ship missiles, and can destroy 10 large aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 90,000 tons in the open sea.
One H-6K/S, equipped with more than a dozen 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles of various types, can theoretically destroy an aircraft carrier formation.
If mushroom bombs are launched... Tsk tsk tsk, unimaginable.
It can be said that at this point, China truly has the ability to carry out a three-pronged nuclear strike.
With the H-6K/S, the Air Force has greatly improved its air strike capability and strategic deterrence.
In the past few years, the Chinese Air Force has been like dreaming, and even the Air Force leaders dare not dream of such a beautiful dream.
The latest models of the J-7 and J-8 are both second-generation and semi-fighters, which greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Air Force; the J-7A advanced trainer and the Eagle advanced trainer can speed up the training of pilots in the Air Force; the J-10 and J-11 fighters have made China reach the world's advanced level in top fighters.
Now the only thing the Chinese Air Force lacks is time.
As for funding, the Air Force is just like the Army and the Navy, and it is thick-skinned and will negotiate with the Ministry of Finance every year.
Hasn't this been the case for all these years?
Now it's good, the performance of the H-6K/S has been greatly improved, which gives the Air Force a stronger strategic force.
In the future, when it comes to air power, after Eagle Sauce and Polar Bear, China will definitely sit in the third seat. Britain and France are far inferior to the Chinese Air Force.
To be honest, the Air Force or the entire military does not care about the ranking of foreign military journals. They even have people to publicize that China's military strength is not good. Some military journals even rank China's military strength outside the top ten.
In those military journals, the top two military strengths are either Eagle Sauce and Polar Bear, or Polar Bear and Eagle Sauce. As for the third place, it is also very changeable. There are only two or three military journals that rank China in the third place, and more are ranked fifth or sixth or even outside the top ten.
China has always been practical and pragmatic. As for false reputation, it doesn't matter.
Even so far, what China has announced to the outside world is that China has initially completed the construction of semi-mechanized troops and will complete the construction of semi-mechanized troops in the millennium, that is, in 2000.
