"Are you not conducting equipment testing? In this way, it is easy to have problems if you conduct combat testing directly? Moreover, with many weapons and equipment, this is not too accurate for firepower testing, right?" Long Yaohua got on the plane. The Z-91 looked out from the porthole on one side, and his vision was not very good.

The hatch is pretty good.

A lot of cameras are installed on the helicopter.

Obviously I am planning to record all of these. If the flight is too low, it is easy to be accidentally injured.

What's more, the focus of each weapon and equipment is different. If you perform a volley, it is really hard to tell the power of that weapon.

"Each weapon and equipment are tested is different. Chief, look at it, this is also the Blue Army's future combat mode. Although it is just a test, if all the weapons and equipment are numerous on the battlefield, we can imagine that scene. And, the biggest advantage of doing this is that once we find any problems during the test, especially technical problems, we can completely modify and design in a targeted manner, which is more in line with our equipment to adapt to the battlefield..." Liu Yijiu explained.

After the two got on the helicopter, Wang Yueshan and others also came up. After the person came up, the helicopter's engine began to roar. The two-layer rotors, which were originally stationary and slightly drooping, began to slowly rotate under the engine's output power, and the helicopter's rotors began to become straight.

Liu Yijiu pulled Long Yaohua and sat on the hatch door of Zhi-91 and looked outside.

This Z-91 used for observation took off first, and after taking off, it hovered at a height less than fifty meters from the ground. The rotors of the helicopters on the ground also began to rotate. The first one to rise from the ground was the armed helicopter. It felt easier than other helicopters when taking off.

Long Yaohua is not worried about the flight problems of this helicopter.

Immediately afterwards, the team of fully armed soldiers began to line up and quickly pedaled towards the transport helicopter that opened the tail hatch door. The helicopter's huge rotor was spinning faster and faster.

"Is this a platoon of soldiers?" Long Yaohua asked Liu Yijiu.

"Well, a platoon's troops, plus all individual equipment. After all, we were planning to create a helicopter for platoon-level troops transportation." The Zhi-7 project was originally a technical requirement, but the Zhi-7 project was dismissed and the entire team was taken over by the Ninth Academy.

Later, the Zhi-91 was created, saying that it could transport such a lot of troops, but the cabin behind was really small and not suitable at all. It would be okay to not bring equipment. If you bring equipment, the entire space would not be enough.

This is also the reason why professional transport helicopters are needed.

"This time, if you gradually respond quickly to the troops..."

"Helicopters and other equipment existed for the establishment of the fast-response force. Except for armored forces and missile forces, the Blue Army's troops were built towards the rapid response force." Liu Yijiu nodded.

The military has concentrated helicopters to use before and has accumulated a lot of experience in the use of helicopters. In addition, the emergence of the Z-91 and the use of helicopters by the Blue Army have made the military senior management earlier proposed to gradually respond to the troops quickly and place troops on the battlefield faster, or use them to block the enemy's advancement.

"It's a pity that if we could have a medium-sized transport helicopter like Chinook, the Chinook of the United States, which can hoist more than 10 tons externally, or a heavy helicopter with a maximum load of twenty tons like the Mi-26 of the Soviet Union, we could equip some heavy equipment for fire support in our rapid response force..."

When Long Yaohua said this, his tone was full of loneliness.

However, when he said that, when he saw the scene outside, his eyes widened and he could no longer say anything.

Outside, a shocking scene appeared - the transport helicopter equipped with more than 30 fully armed soldiers had left the ground and flew to the top of an infighting chariot, with several slings hanging from the belly of the aircraft. Some soldiers in military uniforms on the ground were commanding the pilots on the helicopter to move and cooperate!

Obviously, this is to lift this new infantry fighting vehicle and put it on the exercise venue!

"So, now we don't need to envy other countries for what they have, we have. But tanks and other things are really too heavy!" Liu Yijiu said proudly to Long Yaohua.

"Isn't this chariot the previous one? How heavy is it? What is the cannon on the top?" Long Yaohua understood.

It's really worth it to come to the mountain this time.

If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, no one would have reported this situation to the top leaders.

Judging from the proficiency of the soldiers on the ground, it is obvious that they have experienced it many times.

"The newly developed infantry fighting vehicle is mainly equipped with our paratroopers..." Liu Yijiu did not introduce it in detail. "The current weight is still a little heavier. If the weight is reduced, the performance will be greatly affected..."

These infantry fighting vehicles seem to be good.

"In this way, you infantry fighting vehicles have not been successfully researched yet? Isn't it said that you will conduct weapons testing today?"

"Weapon test is right, it doesn't affect it, right?" Liu Yijiu said cunningly.

Long Yaohua understood a little why Liu Yijiu and the others had not reported it.

"..." He really couldn't say anything about Liu Yijiu's words.

After more than 30 fully armed soldiers were installed inside, when they began to hover in the air to hoist the infantry chariots on the ground, other Z-91 armed transport helicopters also began to fly above those infantry chariots for lifting. Z-91 has a weapon system on it and its carrying capacity is not too strong. Even if there is no transportation inside, after hoisting those infantry chariots that are not known to be heavy, Long Yaohua's difficulty when he left the ground can be seen.

The transport helicopter dedicated to the Ninth Academy was not difficult to lift an intravenous combat vehicle after loading more than 30 soldiers and their equipment.

"Didn't they all use similar technologies?" Long Yaohua had to be surprised.

"The engines are different, and the power is naturally different. When the transport helicopter is fully loaded, it can carry about 16 tons of weight. Our infantry fighting vehicles are currently less than nine tons. The average weight of those soldiers is about 70 kilograms, and the equipment is only about 100 kilograms. More than 30 fully armed soldiers weigh less than four tons..." Liu Yijiu explained.

The Z-91 was first produced and did not have a power system. In addition, it has a weapon system on it, so the lifting ability is naturally not very strong.

The biggest difference between a transport aircraft and an armed transport aircraft is here.

"This is the biggest difference between professional transport aircraft and multi-functional armed transport helicopters. After all, in many cases, weapons and equipment on armed transport helicopters are not needed." Liu Yijiu emphasized the importance of transport helicopters.

"You don't need to explain this to me." Long Yaohua glared at Liu Yijiu.

The earliest one in the Republic was a transport helicopter. The Z-5's carrying capacity is not very strong and the speed is not fast enough.

Moreover, professional helicopter troops have begun to be formed in China, mainly for logistics support.

What China lacks is not only armed helicopters, but also transport helicopters with higher capacity.

What the Ninth Hospital now has completely filled the gap in the country.

It plays an unparalleled and important role in the entire China's national defense modernization construction.

When the helicopter was hoisting several infantry fighting vehicles on the ground, it began to form formations in the air. The height from the ground was not too high. The armed helicopter was not in the formation. Three weapons-equipped Z-91s surrounded the transport helicopter in the middle, while the armed helicopter flew quickly forward.

"The armed helicopters are responsible for air reconnaissance, cover, ground search and other tasks to ensure the safety of the transport fleet that follows..." Liu Yijiu introduced the situation.

When the armed helicopter was only a small point left, the transport plane completed by the formation began to fly towards the front, and the helicopter observed flew from the side with the group of aircraft toward the front, and could clearly see the various movements of the group of aircraft not far away through the unclosed hatch door.

Soon, the armed helicopter was no longer visible.

Long Yaohua did not ask Liu Yijiu. After the aircraft group took off, it began to rise into the sky, quickly crossed the top of the mountain, and then headed towards the test site dozens of kilometers away.

Without waiting for a long time, the armed helicopter that had gone away returned and circled in the air.

"Discover the target!"

Before Long Yaohua could ask, Liu Yijiu explained to him.

"This is telling the troops inside the transport plane to prepare for a rushing and subduction. Of course, it is also to prepare the helicopter to deploy infantry fighting vehicles lifted from outside the battlefield. Otherwise, when they enter the battlefield, this will affect the entire army..."

"In this way, the ground forces have to be out of touch with the air support force?" Long Yaohua was a little confused.

If the troops are sent outside the battlefield and the troops have not entered the middle of the battlefield, the ground troops will definitely not be able to catch up when the helicopter attack is completed.

"No, because the armored forces are behind, the troops inside the transport plane arrive first, or follow them into the edge of the battlefield, and the armed helicopters have found the landing site they need..." Liu Yijiu explained.

These are things that should be noticed during training in the army.

You must not make such a low-level mistake.

Otherwise, like in the previous war, after artillery bombarded the enemy's positions, the enemy hid in the anti-aircraft hole, waited for the infantry to come up, crawled out of the anti-aircraft hole and continued to resist.
