It was not until this moment that people noticed this medium-sized helicopter covered by the powerful halo of the Yun-17.

Wait... why is it another halo? It seems that the halo of Zhi-12 before also concealed the fact that Yun-15plus can carry the long-range maneuver of helicopters.

Why do halos come one after another in an earthquake rescue operation?

However, this is no longer important. Anyway, the military observers from all over the country on the scene are already numb. Compared with this, the Zhi-15 helicopter that transported supplies to the Shenxian Bay outpost is even more interested.

Although the general appearance is somewhat similar to the small-size straight-12, such as the round radar cover of the nose, the small vertical tail on both sides of the tail rotor, and four articulated propeller blades.

But if you need to observe carefully, you will find that the two are still very different in the fuselage. The straight-12 fuselage is full of angular muscle strength, but it has somewhat lost the agile beauty of an aircraft, which is a product of violent aesthetics.

The straight-15 is different. Due to its unique diamond-opening body cross-sectional design, the whole straight-15 maintains a sense of muscle strength while not losing its agile vitality.

To use an inappropriate analogy, if Zhi-12 is a strong man like Dwayne Johnson, then Zhi-15 is Bruce Lee wearing a training suit.

Not only is the muscles bursting, but it is also extremely flexible.

In fact, this is true. When Zhi-15 was replacing the post troops, the military observers didn't care much. They thought that it was just a little bigger than Zhi-12, but just a few more people were installed. It was precisely because of this that they focused all their attention on Yun-17.

However, when the Zhi-15 lifting board room components flew to the Shenxian Bay outpost, these foreign military observers discovered that in addition to the good carrying capacity, the external lifting capacity was also excellent.

Not to mention anything else, the integrated board room parts that were hoisted are not easy to see.

So someone asked, "Captain Zheng, how heavy are your parts in the prefabricated house?"

“3 tons!”

The person who asked was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then asked urgently: "What is the maximum lifting weight of this straight-15? What is the maximum load-bearing capacity?"

"The maximum lifting load is 3.2 tons, and the maximum comprehensive load capacity is 4 tons. There is no way, the maximum take-off weight of the entire helicopter is only 8.5 tons. If you remove the weight of 400 gallons of aviation fuel, oh~~ It is calculated based on the gallons in the US standard. The weight is about 1.2 tons, and the empty weight of the entire machine is only 3.3 tons..."

As he said that, Zheng Quanli paused, took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket, took out a piece of cigarette, lit it on his own, and took a deep breath, looking quite melancholy: "Oh... it's still a bit short of heat. Earlier, the development unit came to me to ask me about my opinions on this medium-sized helicopter of 6 to 8 tons. I said at that time that the 1800 kilowatt engine started, and 2200 kilowatts was barely enough. After all, on a plateau, the greater the power, the better, the result..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Quanli shook his head and smiled bitterly. The black and thin face that was dissatisfied with the red plateau was so helpless. After two puffs of cigarettes, he seemed to vent all his depression on the cigarette butts. Then he continued lonelyly: "As a result, the development unit said that the WD-47Z of the 1800 kilowatt to 2200 kilowatts should be used on large helicopters with a maximum take-off weight of 13 to 15 tons. In their words, the three release plans are enough to support this level of helicopters to perform various tasks on the plateau.

So the Z-15 is equipped with only two 1456 kilowatt WD-45Zs. Although the axle horsepower is 1979 horsepower, I think it is not as good as the WD-43Z on the Z-12 in terms of handling. Although it is only 1048 kilowatts and 1424 axle horsepower, I feel that the Z-12 is more powerful and more powerful after riding it. It may be due to my personal subjectivity. I just think that the Z-12 is more suitable for my appetite..."

While smoking, Zheng Quanli started talking with Shi-15 and Shi-12. There was no pride or pride in his words. Instead, he was like commenting on his two unscrupulous brats. Not only did he laugh and scold himself, but he also had the helplessness of being disappointed.

But when you hear these words, there is a sense of déjà vu that other people's children are so outstanding, why are they not satisfied? Many people even look at Zheng Quanli's eyes very strange, as if they are saying, "If you don't want to be straight-15 and straight-12, give it to me, I want it, any conditions are fine."

And all kinds of emotions surged in the mix, which made Norukov very uncomfortable at that time.

So much so that the rough man from the fighting nation looked at Zheng Quanli's various tales and wished he could pounce on him and strangle the Dawaris clan who had once slept on the lower bunk.

Can you lose more NM?

The 15-15 can achieve a comprehensive load level of 4 tons with a maximum take-off weight of 8.5 tons. This is also very average. Are you Zheng Quanli floating? You want to go to heaven!

The comprehensive carrying capacity of the Mi-171 helicopter improved by Russia on the basis of the former Soviet Union's Mi-17 in the past two years was only at this level.

The maximum take-off weight of a meter-171 helicopter that can reach this level reaches 13 tons. According to the current classification of helicopters, it already belongs to the category of large helicopters, but its comprehensive capabilities can only be comparable to that of medium-sized general-purpose helicopters below 10 tons.

What does this mean?

Mi-171 has a great backwardness in the reproduction and manufacturing process.

Perhaps the Mi-171 helicopter can be stronger than the Z-15 in space, but the price paid is also extremely obvious, that is, the Mi-171 helicopter sacrifices long-range air transportation capabilities.

In other words, ordinary transport aircraft cannot carry meter-171 helicopters at all for rapid maneuvers at long distances.

However, Z-15 can take the air-17 and make long-distance rapid deployment at any time and anywhere. From this point of view, Z-15 is more flexible than the Mi-171 helicopter and has stronger mission flexibility.

Not to mention anything else, if the Mi-171 helicopter encounters an important task such as the Karakoram Pass earthquake, there is nothing we can do except to use it to make long-distance transition maneuvers.

However, the Zhi-15 can reach the forefront with the cooperation of a transport aircraft.

This is disaster relief. If it is actual combat, the fast-reaching Zhi-15 is probably not a 3-ton board room component, but a D-30 type 122mm howitzer of the same weight. The cabin is loaded with an artillery squad composed of 5 soldiers and nearly half a ton of ammunition. It soars into the sky, arrives at a designated location, and quickly unfolds...

Thinking about the scene, Norokov felt sad for the New Delhi soldiers on the other side of the mountain.

This is still a straight-15. According to Zheng Quanli, there is also a 15-ton three-engine large helicopter in the process of developing it. The engine power has reached 2,200 kilowatts. If it continues to develop at this level, Russia's rotorcraft will probably completely lose the market of a major country in the East.

So Norokov glanced at the direction of New Delhi on the other side of the Karakoram Mountain and said silently in his heart: Motolsky has seen you this time.

Then he turned his head without hesitation and muttered to Zheng Quanli in a low voice: "My dear Davari, I remembered the price wrongly just now, meter-171 each aircraft is 6.5 million US dollars; meter-26 each aircraft is 15 million US dollars."
