"Didn't you just video call him a few days ago?"
Hua Jin said again, "Daddy is so busy, he might not have time to come back!"
"Why don't you call him and ask when he will come back?"
Natalia's eyes were wide open, and she looked expectant.
Hua Jin didn't want to disappoint her, so he walked to the side and took out his phone. He looked at Gong Jie's FaceTime, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed.
…
Hurricane Group.
Gong Jie put on a windbreaker and walked into the maintenance hall. He looked at the huge monster parked on the tarmac – an armed helicopter.
This was his personal vehicle.
Armed helicopters were equipped with weapons and developed for the purpose of carrying out combat missions. They were divided into ordinary armed helicopters, stealth helicopters, and high-speed armed helicopters.
Armed helicopters could be divided into two major categories: special-purpose and multi-purpose.
The special-purpose type had a narrow fuselage and stronger combat capability. The multi-purpose type could be used to carry out attack missions, as well as transport, landing, and other missions.
Modern armed helicopters not only carried a variety of weapons, but also carried a large amount of ammunition.
In terms of single aircraft, helicopters with a higher takeoff weight could carry more ammunition. For example, the Mi-24 armed helicopter used in the Eton P2H war and the AFH war. The nose is equipped with 1 four-barreled machine gun, 1500 rounds of ammunition, 4 anti-tank missiles can be hung on the short wing tips, and 4 hangers can be hung under the short wing
Four 57mm rocket launchers with a total of 128 rockets.
If rockets weren't installed, 1500kg of bombs could be installed. Another example was the AH-L armed helicopter used in the Vietnam battlefield. It was equipped with a 20mm cannon or 30mm cannon in the nose.
Eight anti-tank missiles or 76 70mm rockets could be installed under the short wings of the fuselage. The A-129 helicopter with a takeoff weight of less than 4t was equipped with an organic gun. It could carry eight "Hort" missiles or 52 70mm rockets. The air combat type could carry eight "Mistral" air-to-air missiles. For an organized armed helicopter unit, its firepower couldn't be underestimated.
At this moment, this huge armed monster was undergoing daily maintenance.
Men were creatures with a strong desire to conquer. Therefore, they liked cars, tanks, and guns.
Not everyone could own such a huge armed monster.
This military helicopter was a gift from Gong Shaoying when he came of age. So far, it had been in service for ten years.
If the results of this maintenance were not good, he would probably have to retire.
Gong Jie could not bear to part with her.
After ten years, it was impossible to say that he had no feelings for this "comrade".
This was the most precious gift he had received when he was 18 years old. For so many years, he had treated it like a treasure. However, now that he was about to retire, he could only lament that time had passed too quickly.
This big monster was the AH-1 Cobra armed helicopter. After the end of the Vietnam War in 1990, the United States Marine Corps decided to use the AH-1W "Super Cobra" as a base to upgrade their armed helicopters in all aspects, and the result was the AH-1Z.
"Viper."
The first prototype of the AH-1Z was successfully tested in 2000. Nominally, this was an improvement in the Super Cobra's performance.
Within its lifespan, just the cost of maintenance and training alone would be hundreds of millions of USD, or even more than one billion USD.
