Huaxia, Chengdu Military Region, Army Aviation Second Regiment.
As the air force directly under the military region, the Army Aviation 2nd Regiment has a long history. It is the earliest unit to be in contact with the "Black Hawk" helicopter, and it is also regarded as the Huaxia Force who knows the "Black Hawk" best.
'Black Hawk' has been in China for more than 30 years and is still the main force of the Army Aviation. Although it is a bit old, the army still loves it very much-there is no way to use helicopters in the plateau area. But the land of China is so vast and the terrain is too complicated.
The Qiu Ronghua captain took the crew to complete the daily training and carried out maintenance work as usual. Compared with the maintenance work of Mi-17, which is exhausted, ‘Black Hawk’ is much simpler. But after the work, Captain Qiu took a break, and with a single order, he and several crews of the second regiment and ground crew were transferred away overnight.
'Let's start immediately after receiving the order', the superior's order has no room for bargaining, and it is urgent, the destination is Shanghai. Captain Qiu knew that this must be a confidential task. He arranged the follow-up work and immediately led the team to set off.
Flying directly from Chengdu to Shanghai, and arriving at the destination, we will drive to the military port in the direction of Tianjin. When we arrive at the port, we will see a huge container ship being loaded and unloaded.
"What the **** are these thousands of miles pulling us over?" Everyone including Qiu Ronghua murmured in his heart. From the point of view of the port, it is obvious that the outside is loose and the inside is tight.
"I guess it has something to do with helicopters, and it has something to do with" Black Hawk. "" Someone made this judgment.
Qiu Ronghua also agrees with this, because the crew and ground crews familiar with the ‘Black Hawk’ came over, and even the technicians responsible for flight test and testing when the ‘Black Hawk’ was introduced. This posture opened up, and at a glance, it became clear that ten or nine of those containers were 'Black Hawks'.
'Black Hawk' is a good thing, it has been developed and produced for decades, and it is not outdated at all. But the old and beautiful embargoes cannot be bought by rabbits.
After the container was unloaded, Qiu Ronghua, as the captain with the highest military rank, and several personnel from Guoan personally opened a container with the number ‘001’. As soon as the box door opened, he was happy in his heart, "It really is" Black Hawk. ""
Black and gray paint, protruding nose on the leading edge, and a large cockpit. Seeing this, Qiu Ronghua couldn't help but chuckled and asked the Guoan staff who unpacked the boxes together: "Well done, you smuggled from abroad? Amazing!"
"The source is confidential, don't ask. Your job is to reassemble these helicopters and conduct test flights." Guoan personnel did not disclose much information.
The helicopter in the container is disassembled and transported with the rotor and tail rotor and other external components shipped together with the corresponding assembly test instructions and special tools, complete with equipment.
For the caution of Guoan personnel, Qiu Ronghua no longer asks more questions. He wanted to confirm the model of these helicopters first. After all, the "Black Hawk" is Sikorsky's signature product, and there are many improvements. But even the old model is okay, the rabbit is not picky about it.
However, when all the containers were loaded with trucks, Qiu Ronghua was taken aback by the number of containers. "How many are they?"
"A total of fifty containers, the first batch of twenty-four, with supporting maintenance parts, and even spare engines." Guoan personnel did not hide this.
"Twenty-four? The first batch? Is this really smuggling? How is this different from the official introduction?" Qiu Ronghua was really surprised.
In the 1980s, the introduction of ‘Black Hawk’ resulted in the introduction of 24 aircraft. After so many years of use, four aircraft have been damaged. Now it's all right, and I added 24 at a time. It seems there is still behind.
Everyone who is ready to pick up the plane suddenly becomes very hot, and feels that this is a good thing that the country has spent a lot of money on. You should know that although the Zhi 20 that imitates the ‘Black Hawk’ is already undergoing the final test flight, the production problem is a big problem.
Twenty-four 'Black Hawks' are two flying brigades. The Chengdu Military Region is responsible for combat missions in the southwest. The region is located at a high altitude, and a high-powered "black eagle" is required. This batch of 'Black Hawks' can really be of great use.
Owners and containers are quickly transferred from the port to the inland airport for subsequent assembly. The bigger surprise is still waiting for Qiu Ronghua and others. They soon discovered that this batch of ‘Black Hawk’ was not a used product, and it was simply the latest UH-60M in active service by the US military.
This is Sikorsky ’s mid-life mission for the US military. The new wide-chord composite rotor is particularly suitable for high-temperature plateau environments and also reduces maintenance costs.
The new digital cockpit reduces the workload of the pilot, improves the situational awareness of the occupants, and provides new communication capabilities. And the engine power is increased again, and avionics and other equipment are the latest.
"Ha Ha Ha ..., this is really a shotgun for a gun!" Although these "Black Hawks" are all second-hand goods, their performance is much stronger than that of the old goods equipped by China over thirty years ago. A single digital cockpit can make crew members such as Qiu Ronghua laugh.
Although there are many unfamiliar and unfamiliar with the new equipment, there is no doubt that this batch of "Black Hawk" is worth the money, and the associated tooling equipment is also particularly complete, even with a special training video, basically hand in hand Teaches people how to use this batch of 'Black Eagle'.
Because of the lack of familiarity, the first UH-60M took a full week to complete the assembly. However, after the first short ground test flight, Qiu Ronghua personally piloted the 'Black Hawk' to complete a few minutes of takeoff hovering and landing, all the crew and ground crew involved in the mission cheered and laughed.
"Yes, yes, very easy to use. The skills of old and American weapons are still to be affirmed, good things are good things." Qiu Ronghua said several advantages of this batch of "Black Hawk" in one breath, excited It's hard to make.
He could n’t help but asked the Guoan staff who had been present all the time: “For this batch of good things, must he spend a lot of money?”
This is US military active equipment, and the export price is 35 million US dollars each. This is only for so-called 'friendly' countries. The rabbit wants, the eagle sauce is not sold yet, it is so tsundere!
In the eyes of Qiu Ronghua, it is definitely smuggled to sneak into the domestic posture. With smuggling on such a large scale, the cost is only more expensive than 35 million US dollars. The Guoan personnel only laughed and did not speak, just asking if the goods were worth it?
"Value! Of course it is. Although it is a bit old, but it can be used for at least another ten years or even fifteen years after a good maintenance." The old "Black Hawk" of Qiu Ronghua has been replaced by several batches of pilots, but it can still be equipped Very easy to use.
"It's easy to use, don't ask for the price." What Guoan personnel want is this sentence. In fact, the entire assembly and flight test process are evaluated in detail.
The superior has given Guoan a task—to make a correct estimate of this batch of ‘Black Hawks’, we will not take advantage of it as much as we want. We also expect that the remaining one hundred Black Eagles will be of the same quality.
Do n’t look at China ’s domestic singing and dancing, but now the world is not peaceful. Rabbit's demand for military helicopters is extremely hungry, and now it is constantly expanding its military strength. An army aviation regiment has 50 or 60 helicopters, and more than 100 helicopters equal the addition of two army aviation regiments.
If they are the latest ‘Black Hawk’, this improvement in combat power is obvious. But because of the choking of waste food, we can't disturb the subsequent sales-now the uncle has money and lacks equipment. If you can spend money to sell, I dare to come a dozen carrier aircraft.
After the test flight of Qiu Ronghua and others, it was initially concluded that this batch of ‘Black Hawks’ is in good condition and its performance is one grade higher than our army ’s existing equipment. Although it is second-hand goods, but its flaws are not concealed, it is worth continuing to introduce.
And what surprised Qiu Ronghua and others in the whole assembly process was that an alternative guy appeared in these 50 containers.
"What the **** is this?"
"This is not‘ Black Hawk ’!"
"I drop a day, the smugglers can spit the eagle sauce on their blood." (To be continued.)
