PS: Three months of gorgeous willfulness without overtime, this month almost every day to eight o'clock in the evening, it's really tragic...... There are few updates, I hope you will forgive me! I also hope that everyone will support a lot, reward and subscribe, can you have more......

――――

The position of the global strategic transport aircraft, known as the Big Mac, in the combat sequence of the Red Guard Corps is irreplaceable.

It is even praised by the base as an excellent transport aircraft that can be used for 50 years, and its appearance can accompany every soldier of the Red Guard Regiment to the end of his life.

It was the first time for Cai Ruichen to look at the three giants side by side so closely, and now, even if he was really well-informed, looking up at these three huge transport planes, his heart was inevitably surging, and a lot of pride emerged.

The transport plane in front of him is also completely worthy of the cost of five million funds, and Cai Ruichen knows better than anyone how advanced the materials used in this transport aircraft are.

The empty weight of one hundred and ten tons, which is definitely not crispy, but a veritable steel and iron skeleton, the fuselage is all made of light superalloy, which was used only in the production of this transport aircraft.

Because the price is too expensive, the base will not use this light superalloy to produce other weapons and equipment.

This alloy has the hardness of normal superalloy, and also has strong willfulness and structural strength, and the entire fuselage is directly molded with light-curing three-dimensional modeling at one time, without any module assembly, and the entire aircraft shell is a whole as soon as it appears.

Because of this production method, the entire fuselage is completely one. It is also possible to achieve a ceiling of 50,000 meters, and to carry out subsonic cruise at an altitude of 50,000 meters in thin air.

And in fact, at an altitude of 50,000 meters. Because of the minimal air resistance, fuel consumption can be much reduced during subsonic cruising compared to normal flight.

Of course, the altitude limit of 50,000 meters is too difficult to reach under normal flight conditions, because the climb rate of transport aircraft is not high, unless it is a long-distance flight of more than 5,000 kilometers. It is possible to climb to that height.

If you want to fly more than 10,000 kilometers one way, you definitely need to climb to more than 50,000 meters to fly, increase speed and save fuel.

But in front of me this giant transport plane. It was also here that the modification was carried out, in order to be able to deliver hoplites to the battlefield.

However, unlike the armed mining vehicle, the modification carried out in the Big Mac does not have a logistics and maintenance module. It's all a bunch of assembly equipment cabins. The equipment bays are fitted into four rows on the edge and in the middle of the cabin, and there are also two wide conveyor tracks.

When Cai Ruichen opened the cabin door at the back of a Jumbo transport plane, he saw four neat rows of assembly equipment cabins inside, one row had twenty-five equipment cabins, and the four rows were one hundred equipment cabins, and this had reached the full load limit of the Big Mac transport plane.

If you need to add new carry-on, you can only reduce the fuel load. Otherwise it will not be possible to take off at all.

The weight of one equipment compartment reached two tons, and the heavily armed hoplites added up to almost a ton.

There are also a hundred hoplites to be added to it. And all of them are nearly 300 pounds, and the transport planes that are modified to transport heavy infantry can only keep their fuel capacity at about 120 tons, otherwise they will be overweight.

Yang Wu, who followed Cai Ruichen to the plane, pointed to the conveyor guide rail connected to each assembly equipment compartment on the cabin and said to Cai Ruichen: "In the process of airdrop flight, in order to maintain the stability of the aircraft, soldiers wearing armor are not allowed to walk in the cabin, so the soldiers wearing armor are transported to the outside of the hatch by using the airdrop hoisting track above. ”

A ton of armor and weapon modules, plus the weight of the umbrella bag and the soldiers inside, a ton of more than a ton of big guys walking around the cabin in flight, it would be a disaster.

After all, walking and sliding are completely different concepts, so such a guide rail is essential.

"Because the transport plane is only responsible for the task of delivery, there is no maintenance equipment in it, and the supply of hoplites after the airdrop is the responsibility of the one-time supply cabin delivered by the other transport plane, even if it is to fight deep behind enemy lines, there is no problem."

Yang Wu continued: "At present, the modification of the Jumbo transport aircraft has only completed the first one, and the other two are planned to be completed within a month, and then it will have the ability to send 300 hoplites at a time, and there will be no problem at all in cooperating with the airborne forces." ”

"And what about the conversion of peacekeeping transport aircraft and Nighthawk helicopters?" Cai Ruichen nodded, and then asked.

Unlike armed mining vehicles on the ground, flying vehicles to airdrop hoplites cannot be recovered from the aircraft on the battlefield, so there is no maintenance equipment in the aircraft.

Even in peacekeeping transport aircraft and Nighthawk helicopters, there is no assembly equipment compartment, because it simply cannot fit it.

The delivery method of these two transport planes is to put on individual armor of hoplites, hoist them onto the rails in the aircraft, and then transport the hoplites in the cabin to the battlefield like bombers dropping bombs.

At the time of Raqqa, the modification of the Nighthawk helicopter had not yet been completed, so it was not possible to transport hoplites to the front lines of the war.

Otherwise, as the vanguard of the air assault of the armored forces, it should be on the hoplite.

In the battle for Homs, the first batch of four Nighthawk helicopters had been refitted, one Nighthawk helicopter was capable of transporting eight hoplites at a time, and the peacekeeping transport aircraft had a slightly larger carrying capacity and was able to carry twelve hoplites.

Moreover, the peacekeeping transport aircraft is extremely fast, and can quickly transport hoplites to the nearest battlefield, but the range is a little shorter.

The three air transport methods are used to complement each other, maintain the connection of medium, long, and near battlefield projections, and at the same time have unique features in the combination of fast and slow.

Moreover, whether it is a peacekeeping transport plane or a Nighthawk helicopter, it will be able to board aircraft carriers or amphibious ships in the future, and it will also be able to transport hoplites from the sea to overseas battlefields.

This modification can also be used for Magnetotroph, which is also a hoplite unit.

"...... of work on the modification of Nighthawk helicopters and peacekeeping transport aircraft"

After listening to Yang Wu's introduction of the other two transport flight vehicles, Cai Ruichen left the underground hangar and walked towards the tactical training ground.

As a brand-new equipment in the history of human warfare, hoplites are the same as tanks that have just appeared, how to use it is a problem, how to use it better is to go deep into this problem, and it is even more indispensable to formulate combat tactics combined with other arms.

Because a lot of the equipment in the Red Guard Corps can be coordinated, such as the combination of bullfrog vehicles and hoplites.
