"Yes, this Y-33 is indeed the first real early warning aircraft equipped by the Air Force!" Hearing many military leaders calling out the three words "early warning aircraft", Chief of Staff Feng who was explaining couldn't help but smile and said directly Turning the focus to the more familiar early warning aircraft, he then raised his tone and said quite proudly: "Please note that the word I used is a real early warning aircraft, not the so-called radar warning aircraft used in our previous troops! "
Before he finished speaking, Chief of Staff Feng pressed the switch in his hand, and the slide player immediately started, and a large and clear picture of the Y-33 early warning aircraft instantly appeared on the screen.
It was then that people discovered that the entire layout of the Y-33 early warning aircraft, although it roughly followed the appearance of the trj-700 regional passenger aircraft, had its own uniqueness in many details.
For example, except for the electronically scanned balance beam radar above, the nose of the Sino-33 early warning aircraft is different from the civil aviation model. It appears more rounded and larger in diameter. It has the same mine protection stringers and black color as the fighter radome. Painting. It is not difficult to imagine that a radar must be installed in this location.
The corresponding tail of the fuselage also extends backward for a short period, which is also wrapped with a radar, and is matched with the shark fin-like antenna stabilizing wing on the T-shaped vertical tail to prevent the back balance beam from interfering with the overall aerodynamic layout, as well as the fuselage. Densely packed antennas on the sides and below
Basically, except for the two engines mounted on the tail of the fuselage and some traces of the trj-700 regional passenger jet, the entire layout has been changed to the point where even my own mother can hardly recognize it.
But it is precisely because of this that this aircraft will break through the previous radar warning aircraft that used the MiG-31 fighter airborne radar and combined it with the TRJ-500 regional airliner.
¡°Whether it is search distance, search range, or command and guidance, the Y-33 early warning aircraft far exceeds the TRJ-500 radar warning aircraft by several times or even ten times.
Because of this, the command center of the Golden Helmets is not at the air base where Xue Weidong is located, but on the Y-33 early warning aircraft numbered 68732.
However, before many of the army chiefs present could digest the profound meaning of Chief Feng's words "real early warning aircraft," Chief Feng's next words once again plunged everyone present into an inextricable shock. With a sudden click on the switch on the screen, a detailed performance table appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Immediately, Chief of Staff Feng pointed at the screen with the pointing stick in his hand: "Everyone, please take a look, this is a detailed list of the basic technical parameters of our Y-33 early warning aircraft. I will not go into details about the basic performance of take-off weight and flight altitude. Basically, it is not much different from the trj-700 regional passenger aircraft. Now I will focus on the zbf-219 carried by the Y-33 early warning aircraft.
Airborne early warning radar system.
This radar system uses the latest high-performance chip module developed and produced by China Tengfei, making the radar smaller, with lower actual power, higher degree of automation, longer detection range, and more accurate measurement accuracy than similar products.
Thanks to the successful application of this radar, the Y-33 early warning aircraft can conduct uninterrupted searches over a vast area of ??500 kilometers around.
The detection range for bomber-sized targets is 450 kilometers.
The detection range for targets the size of fighter jets is 350 kilometers.
The detection range for low-altitude incoming targets such as cruise missiles is 120 kilometers.
At the same time, the Y-33 early warning aircraft can also command and guide at least eight batches of our fighter jets to intercept and attack incoming targets.
Of course, the Y-33 early warning aircraft is not without its shortcomings. The biggest disadvantage is that it is too expensive. The unit price of a Y-33 early warning aircraft is as high as 1.2 billion yuan.
However, this has not yet reached the record of the Air Force equipment procurement unit price so far, because the Yun-33 early warning aircraft's sibling, the joint ground attack radar command aircraft also modified from the TRJ-700 regional airliner, the procurement cost of the Yun-34 has reached At 1.5 billion yuan, it is the most expensive aircraft purchased by the Air Force so far.
Someone may ask, can the Air Force use such an expensive aircraft? After all, we don¡¯t have to copy the military of a major foreign country in every aspect of our operations! "
Having said this, Chief of Staff Feng paused for a moment, then pressed the switch button in his hand, and the slideshow player started again. A topographic map of a certain area on the southeast coast with a Y-34 command plane as the background appeared on the curtain.
Immediately, Chief of Staff Feng tapped his instruction stick upward twice, and said again in a serious tone: "I personally don't think it matters if there are other special support aircraft or not, but I really think this Y-34 command aircraft Be equipped no matter what the cost.
The reason is simple, this place"
???????????????????????????? Chief of Staff Feng clicked the instruction stick twice more.Below is a certain area: "Not only are there numerous ground fortifications, but there are also countless underground bunkers. Traditional investigation methods cannot cover all underground bunkers.
But our Y-34 command plane can! "
Before he finished speaking, Chief of Staff Feng pressed the switch in his hand again, and a clear photo of the Y-34 command plane appeared on the screen.
Different from the Yun-32 and the Yun-33, the Yun-34 is generally closer to the TRJ-700 regional airliner. If it were not for the military emblem and serial number as well as the Chinese Air Force words on it, it would be said to be a high-end business jet with fine workmanship. No one would believe it, because the overall strength is right there.
The only difference from the civil aviation model is the eight-meter-long radome under the entire belly.
This aircraft instantly gives people an indescribable sense of mystery.
At this time, Chief of Staff Feng clicked on the radome that almost covered the entire belly of the aircraft: "The reason why it is indispensable is because the Yun-34 is equipped with this set of ZBF-119 synthetic apertures. Radar, in addition to its important role in accurately positioning ground targets, its most important function is to accurately detect underground underground fortifications.
After nearly a year of actual testing and verification, the Y-34 command aircraft equipped with the ZBF-119 synthetic aperture radar can accurately find a fixed target 50 meters underground at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then use the computer to form a strike Zhuyuan is transmitted to the ground attack formation through the data link, and then the special ground-penetrating ammunition is carried by the FBC-1A fighter-bomber or Su-30mkk fighter-bomber, thereby completing the precise sniper killing of such high-value targets! "
As soon as these words came out, all the army leaders present were completely shocked. Everyone present was aware of the complexity of a certain area on the southeast coast, especially the fixed fortifications hidden deep underground. Although the domestic troops had drills For a sharp weapon like a ground bomb, determining the target is a huge headache.
Once something happens, it can only be temporarily discovered and solved temporarily, which means that the troops will inevitably suffer considerable losses.
Now, the Y-34 command aircraft equipped with the ZBF-119 synthetic aperture radar is equivalent to having a pair of blazing eyes, allowing the hiding gophers to have no way to hide. This is of great significance!
