"What? The weapon configuration is based on the American Apache? Boy, aren't you fooling me?" Long Yaohua didn't believe this. The American Apache is the most advanced armed helicopter in the world. This thing not only has strong firepower configuration, but also has very advanced performances.

When China and the United States were negotiating, they were preparing to introduce Apache armed helicopters at the beginning. As a result, the Americans did not provide such armed helicopters at all. Even the military version of the Black Hawk did not provide it, but only the civilian version of the Black Hawk helicopter.

"This is really not bragging, especially in terms of firepower configuration. If we have enough advanced supporting weapons and equipment in China, our helicopters can achieve Apache's attack performance and other aspects of performance, such as the maximum flight speed and range, even more advanced than Apache." Liu Yijiu had not spoken yet, and Liao Zhuojing and other groups of technicians also came here.

Armed helicopters are a very large project they have invested in, and these researches are aimed at the world's number one armed helicopter.

Apache is at least the most powerful among the world-recognized armed helicopters.

The paths taken by the United States and the Soviet Union are somewhat different. Their weapons and equipment are very subdivided. The Soviet Union considered multi-purpose. Even if it had professional transportation helicopters, they were mainly based on Mi-24. However, in the war in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union discovered that the mi-24 armed transport helicopters had too many shortcomings and reopened the professional armed helicopter design.

This is not a secret. For the senior management of the Republic, all these news are known.

"How about it compared to the latest Mi-28 and K-50 developed by the Soviet Union?" Long Yaohua asked Liao Zhuojing and Liu Yijiu.

This problem stumped the two of them.

"The Mi-28 is called Apachisky by the West. In addition to its performance, some of it cannot be compared with American Apachi, such as armor protection, survivability of personnel on board, etc., it is better than American Apachi. As for the Ka-50, our attack firepower cannot be compared with them!" Liao Zhuojing had to admit that their armed helicopter is still somewhat different from the mainstream and advanced armed helicopters in the world.

The Soviet armed helicopter design can even be said to be a bit crazy. For example, the four pylons under the wings can carry 16 laser-guided "cyclone" anti-tank missiles, as well as 4 sets of 80mm C-8m "open-ground" rockets, a total of 80, and a limited rotation turret on the right side of the nose.

The firepower alone is much stronger than the attack firepower of the Ninth Academy. Not to mention, in order to improve the survival performance of helicopter pilots, this helicopter was put on the pilot ejection seat, which is the world's first helicopter to take ejection seats. Moreover, the degree of automation of this helicopter is because it purchased a large number of advanced computer chips from China, and the degree of automation control is very high, even higher than that in history.

An armed helicopter can operate firepower while flying.

In this regard, the armed helicopters of the Ninth Court are not as good as those of them.

It can even be said that the United States is incomparable to the Soviet Union in this regard.

There is also the Mi-28, an armed helicopter, which is designed according to some characteristics of the American Apache. It has many similarities in appearance, aerodynamic layout and structure, which also greatly restricted the development of the Mi-28, especially in terms of funding. However, even so, with the Soviet Union's huge defense industry basic strength, it began to develop in 1976 and made its first flight in 1982. It was also equipped with troops last year.

"Where is the main gap?" The surrounding sky has begun to brighten, and the helicopters have become more obvious in the light.

Long Yaohua looked at the armed helicopter that was still being inspected by many technicians, and asked the people from the Ninth Court.

"We don't have the ejection seat of Ka-50, and the firepower is even worse than them. In addition, we did not use the full armor of Mi-28, mainly to reduce the weight of the helicopter, but in terms of defense, we are not much worse than them." Liao Zhuojing looked at Liu Yijiu, who shook his head, and he didn't tell the truth.

When the Zhi-91 was designed, they began to consider the problem of defense. In this regard, their best solution was to use a large amount of graphene armor, but the production and manufacturing of this material was too difficult and the cost was too high.

Moreover, the number of Z-91 exports is very large, and I am worried about the existence of graphene and leaking out.

Even if professional armed helicopters are used in China, they will not be exported and used too much, and poor squadrons cannot afford to be equipped.

The Soviet Union developed their military industry at all costs, and did not consider how much it was for equipment troops or anything else.

The United States has money. Even if it is out of money and fiscal deficit, it can rob the top Federal Germany and Japan, which are ranked among the world's top economically. This is their largest vault.

China has nothing, so it can only earn money honestly and then equip the army.

"Chief, I don't think these are necessary to compare with other similar types in the world. Only those suitable for the development of our troops are the best." Seeing this scene, Liu Yijiu had to remind Long Yaohua that if we continue to do this, everyone would even suffer a serious blow to their most basic self-confidence.

Long Yaohua nodded and did not say anything.

After watching next to him for a while, he, an amateur, didn't even see the excitement, and suddenly he was a little interested.

"Chief, why don't we go and rest for a while?" Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua.

Long Yaohua shook his head.

"Old Liao, let me introduce the performance of our armed helicopters to the leader. Although we introduced the firepower configuration of our armed helicopters at the beginning." Liu Yijiu knew that Long Yaohua became less interested because their helicopters were less capable than the world's first-class main helicopters.

Of course, this is what Long Yaohua himself believes, and it is also shown by the Ninth Academy.

"No need, haven't you introduced it all before? The maximum flight speed is 428 kilometers per hour..." Long Yaohua looked at Liu Yijiu in surprise.

Although what Liu Yijiu introduced before is not very systematic, he can still understand it.

"How much does it cost?" Long Yaohua asked Liu Yijiu.

"8 million US dollars, equivalent to about 50 million yuan." Such a cost is relatively cheap for professional armed helicopters.

The Soviet Mi-28 basically reached 16 million US dollars per aircraft, while the Ka-50 was more expensive. As for the Apache, which has become famous in the world, no one outside knows the price.

Even Liu Yijiu could not infer the price of such a helicopter. According to the current technical basis, the price of its own equipment in the United States will definitely not be less than 20 million US dollars. If other countries in the world purchase it, the price will naturally be higher. Some suckers even purchased it from the United States for $50 million.

"Don't you use US dollars for our domestic units?" Long Yaohua was a little angry when he heard the US dollar. "At such a price, if you equip a brigade, it will cost 600 million..."

"This price is already very low!" Liao Zhuojing said quickly.

This is all done when the price has dropped.

"I know this, your armed helicopter has been reduced, right?" Long Yaohua's question caught the people in the Ninth Academy off guard.

Even Liu Yijiu was a little surprised that Long Yaohua actually asked this.

"It has indeed reduced the configuration. Many designs have not improved the performance by a large amount, but it has increased the cost a lot. If the configuration is not reduced, these prices will be comparable to our fighter jets."

Liu Yijiu had no intention of not admitting it at all.

For China, it has not realized, as in later generations, that the role of helicopters is not much smaller than that of fighter jets.

Many fighter missions cannot be performed, especially low-altitude battlefield support and ground search attacks.

"Do you think we all think that helicopters are not as good as fighter jets?" Long Yaohua continued to ask questions that made Liu Yijiu feel a little uncomfortable.

Liu Yijiugang nodded, realized something was wrong, and quickly shook his head.

He smiled embarrassedly, "Chief, how can it be? The battlefield support missions undertaken by helicopters and fighters are different. Moreover, their functions are to seize air supremacy and provide combat support to the ground..."

"The reason why you gave your Blue Army's three brigades before was to test the cooperation between the various branches of the army on the real future battlefield. In war, no branch of the army can be lacking. Every branch of the army and every position is related to the direction of the entire war. The organization of the three brigades has a great financial pressure on you, but for our military, this organization can fully build a modern army for joint combat..."

Long Yaohua suddenly explained why he had to organize the three brigades.

You know, at that time, a million-dollar disarmament was underway in the country.

Liu Yijiu had never thought about this at all.

"The reason why many of our equipment is not equipped is not because we do not know the importance. The construction of the entire country is centered on economic construction, and all policies and guidelines are tilted towards economic construction. Progress in military development will definitely be affected. Therefore, we can only continue to study technology, and no technology is used to start equip the troops after the equipment is used. The main reason is that there is no money, not that we cannot recognize the role of these equipment!"

Long Yaohua's words were like enlightenment to Liu Yijiu.

He always believed that the bosses above lacked understanding of the importance of advanced weapons and equipment.

"So, you use this reduced version to fool us..."
