Super Weapon Swap System

Early warning aircraft is a multiplier of air combat power. When the radar is moved to the sky, it can stand high and look down on the earth, so as to see more targets flying at ultra-low altitude.

If Niu Guoren had an air early warning aircraft on the battlefield of Daxiyang, they would not lose so much. They would find those attacking attack aircraft flying at ultra-low altitude and across the sea in advance.

Therefore, Niu Guoren is also studying shipborne early warning aircraft. However, their aircraft carrier limits their efficiency, because without catapults, it is impossible to take off eagle's E-2 early warning aircraft. Otherwise, with the relationship between the two countries, Niu Guoren can directly purchase E-2 from Eagle.

They can only engage in helicopter early warning aircraft. On the side of Haiwang helicopter, they pick up a big ball. This thing has limited search distance and no data processing ability. At best, it is just a radar, which solves the problem of whether it exists or not.

This is the carrier based early warning aircraft.

Xiong Guo is developing. The first Kuznetsov, because it only has a jump deck, has to use a carrier based helicopter such as ka-31 as an early warning capability. The difference from Niu Guo is that they fold a large film under the belly of the aircraft, which is a phased array radar.

In the later motherland, after having an aircraft carrier, the ka-31 shipborne early warning aircraft introduced from xiongguo was first used, and then the zhi-18j shipborne early warning aircraft was self-developed.

Since the motherland already has powerful electronic technology, this shipborne early warning aircraft also has its own characteristics. It is equipped with a stick shaped AESA radar antenna at the rear.

China already has perfect phased array radar technology. Therefore, although the size of this radar is small, its detection ability is the strongest. It can meet the demand of searching targets near the sea at a distance of about 200 kilometers.

The range of anti-ship missiles carried by general fighters is about 200 kilometers. If several helicopters are networked, the demand for forming an air defense early warning network around the aircraft carrier can be realized. However, it is still backward. No matter how it is improved, it can not be compared with the fixed wing early warning aircraft. This is the king.

Xiong Guo naturally knows this truth. After all, according to Xiong Guo's plan, they will develop to 1143.7 nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the later stage. The first ship is "Ulyanovsk". This nuclear powered aircraft carrier has two catapults. Naturally, it can eject shipborne aircraft. The fixed wing early warning aircraft also meets the needs of boarding.

Xiong Guoren, of course, started the research and development of Shipborne early warning aircraft. They have two parallel projects.

One is the famous jacques-44 early warning aircraft. The shape of this early warning aircraft is very similar to Eagle E-2 early warning aircraft. The circular radome is placed above the fuselage, and the tail wing is H-shaped. It is the same as the design of E-2 early warning aircraft, so it is jokingly called "Eagle Eye sky".

It can be said that yaklev Design Bureau was full of confidence in this early warning aircraft, but it lost to an-71 early warning aircraft in the competition. Later, they planned to sell it to the outside world, but there was no result. Until the whole project was finally launched, only a wooden full-size model was left.

Therefore, this early warning aircraft is a fruitless project, and it is impossible to appear at nitka base.

In contrast, the project of an-71 is different.

This project was carried out earlier. When there was no aircraft carrier project, Xiong Guo thought that a new tactical early warning aircraft was needed. At this time, it was still used as a land-based early warning aircraft to catch up with and surpass the E-2C. Since Xiong Guo's first large aircraft carrier "Tbilisi" (later "Kuznetsov") was about to be launched, it naturally also needed a shipborne early warning aircraft.

In this way, the project began to bid for shipborne early warning aircraft again. Finally, Antonov Design Bureau was responsible for the project, and the official code name was an-71.

Of course, if you want to take off from the sliding deck, the an-71, as a carrier based aircraft, can't take off from the sliding deck even if it increases the power of the engine. From the beginning, it is doomed to take off only on the subsequent catapults.

The layout of this aircraft is special, especially its engine is arranged at the root of the wing, just like two big eyes open on it. In this way, it is difficult to install the radome on the fuselage through the support frame, which will be impacted by the engine exhaust. Therefore, Antonov Design Bureau genius placed the radome on the vertical tail, so as to effectively avoid the impact of engine wake.

The large disk at the tail is naturally a radar antenna.

At the same time, in order to balance the backward shift of the center of gravity brought by the rear of the radome, an71 changed the horizontal tail to the root of the vertical tail, tilted the vertical tail forward and changed the rudder to two pieces.

Due to the increase of gravity caused by the addition of radar and other devices, the an-71 is equipped with a new d-436k turbofan engine with a maximum thrust of 75 kn. The rd-38a turbojet engine with a maximum thrust of 29 kn is installed in the main landing gear fairing as auxiliary power or in emergency takeoff. At the same time, the wingspan is lengthened by nearly 1m, so as to ensure the dynamic performance and lift characteristics of the an-71.

Compared with the slow progress of the jacques-44 project, the progress of the an-71 project was very smooth. By 1985, three prototypes were built successively, the first to test flight performance, the second to conduct static test, and the third to test radar and electronic jamming and countermeasure.

In 1988, the an-71 passed the expert review, but at this time, the an-50 early warning aircraft also completed a comprehensive test. The homeland defense air force finally chose the an-50, and the an-71 has only one end, striving to become an aircraft carrier aircraft!

Therefore, it entered the nitka system for various tests, and later stayed at the nitka base.

Now, looking at the plane, Qin Guan was filled with emotion. The dusk of the Empire, the huge bear country, said it collapsed, and then it collapsed.

But fortunately, their empire collapsed, so they left so many good opportunities for their own side! A disintegrating bear state is beneficial to the Han state.

"President Qin, there are still good things?" just then, a voice came from behind.

No matter how strange things are, don't feel weird. For president Qin, nothing is impossible.

Now, looking at the huge leaping deck and the whole steel monster, the scholar doesn't think it's strange. These must have come from those scrap iron. Qin always has this ability, but this strange plane attracts him.

What's this? It's so strange.

"Scholar, all the soldiers in the base need to withdraw. New troops need to be stationed before dawn. You can arrange this now," Qin Guan said.

Scholars are not surprised. If the soldiers in the base suddenly find such equipment tomorrow, they are afraid to be shocked. If they drink and boast, or sleep and dream, they will be in trouble.
