Chapter 107 We Are Humans, Not Gods
Giant Wolf didn't say much to Hou Dasheng about this drone. Because he didn't know anything about what happened to this batch of drones. The other party just asked him to take on this mission and told him that there was a team that would provide him with firepower support. He could also get the money.
But the condition is that he must report the impact of the attack.
"I have only seen this kind of drone once, but you have the chance to see it. After all, they still need us to cooperate in combat." The giant wolf smiled and said to Hou Dasheng: "But I hope your curiosity is not so strong. You have to know that sometimes this will cause trouble."
Hou Dasheng nodded and said that he knew. Then the giant wolf smiled and told Hou Dasheng about what he knew.
This time, they were fighting with them. Some of them were responsible for using drones, some were responsible for maintaining and maintaining them. Some were responsible for keeping them confidential, which means that others were not allowed to easily get to the drone.
What they now call the jackal dogs, and even the jackal dogs arranged it for them at the simple airport.
The take-off environment required by this kind of drone is not high, which is also one of the requirements in the early stage of design. You should not be too picky about the environment. As long as it is temporarily flat, it can take-off and land.
"In terms of appearance, they are more like fighter jets. But there must be some improvements in aerodynamics. I am not aerodynamics, nor fluid mechanics. So I am not clear, but I can see some situations from appearance."
The giant wolf explained patiently to Hou Dasheng: "This should be the initial design, the combat radius is not large. It is only about 200 kilometers, and the attack methods are also very single. They are rockets and honeycomb rockets."
"At present, their drones cannot transmit data in real time, so we have to provide them with accurate coordinates. Then they will indicate on the map and calculate the attack distance and time gap after approaching the combat area. Launch the rockets in advance."
Hou Dasheng nodded. He now roughly understood. This should be an early test piece, based on the impact and range of strikes. This should be air support for small troops, with higher flexibility, stronger portability and better adaptability.
This is obviously air fire support provided for small and elite troops to fight. Although the fire support of both fighter and helicopters is greater, they also require a complete maintenance, maintenance and combat team.
At the same time, the requirements for the pilot are higher. If a qualified pilot is trained, the money will burn will only be more or less than a fighter. Once a problem occurs, it will be a huge loss for the troops.
In terms of site, helicopters are better. They are not so picky about the environment, but fighter jets are different. Although they are faster and have higher attack power, they need airports and at least highways to take off and land.
But this kind of small combat drone is different. It requires fewer maintenance teams and there will be no danger to the driver. If the loss is at most, it will lose a drone. The trained driver will not be in trouble.
Because of the few teams, their dispatching will be more flexible. They can take off and land within a small safe area and quickly provide troops in need of support, providing fire support and strikes.
The on-site image data can even be sent back to better support to combat troops.
"This type of drone should use a miniature jet engine. It also uses a dedicated aviation kerosene, which is equipped with dedicated aviation rockets. At present, it is good for field coverage shooting..."
At this time, the crane also joined the discussion. As a Russian crane, he had more say in the use of aviation rockets. Since the former Soviet era, the Russians were the main representatives of the cannon and giant ships to kill you.
Even rocket launchers are named as feminine like Katyusha. From this we can tell the extent of Russians' love for rockets. Moreover, they not only vigorously develop vehicle-based rockets, but also vigorously develop aviation rockets.
Although the United States also uses aviation rockets and even individual rockets, there is always a certain gap between the use of rockets and Russia.
"Of course, this kind of aviation rocket should be provided for field air firepower support for small troops. If the other party has heavy dealer weapons or permanent fortifications, the effect will be reduced."
As he said that, the crane smiled and said, "Boss, if you don't say it, I'll guess who made us experiment. Some people suffered a great loss in Mogadishu, knowing that helicopter support is not omnipotent. They are looking for a new way to provide air firepower support!"
After calling the crane, Hou Dasheng suddenly realized that he was no longer the rookie who just entered the mercenary circle a few months ago. He had learned a lot of things through chatting with others, professional mercenary magazines, and military magazines.
Two supported helicopters were shot down, and two supported helicopters were injured. A bunch of supported armored vehicles could not be hit, and they were directly exposed by the RPG-7. That operation could be said to have failed due to huge losses.
A certain country had to withdraw from the entire line, which led to the billions of dollars they invested in Somalia being directly drained. Hou Dasheng smiled and looked gloating. The same expression as him were fat dogs, giant wolfs and cranes.
"Hehe... Guys! Even if you gloat, you don't have to show it so obviously?! I'm an American, I'm still here!!" The scalpel muttered with great dissatisfaction: "It's not their fault, it's really."
"We have to die if we move our mouths. Yes, even if we go to die, we have to go. Those damn Bichi will always throw them to us for some messy tasks for this and that reason! These damn idiot missions have killed many of my teammates!"
Hou Dasheng and others shut up, and the scalpel sighed and continued: "From the 'Ivory Coast' of Xishan prisoner-of-war camp, to the 'Blue Light Operation' that wants to enter Tehran, and then to the 'Operation Irene' in Mogadishu. We are all regarded as omnipotent by those idiots! There is a hole in there, and I want us to block it!"
"Damn it! Even if we have superhuman combat skills, our essence is still human! If the bullet hits it, we may still die or be disabled, and we may still make mistakes! We are not gods, and we will suffer heavy casualties when facing dozens or even hundreds of times of enemy attacks. We are not divine weapons, we can be invulnerable to swords and guns. When heavy weapons are bombarded, we will still be crushed to pieces!"
The complaints of the scalpel made Giant Wolf and others silent. Operation Ivory Coast was a divine pit. I originally planned to rescue the prisoners of war, but at first the plane was dropped into the wrong position. Then it was lost - the prisoners of war were transferred.
Then he had a fight with a team of Soviet troops for no reason. On the return trip, two F-105s were shot down directly by the North Vietnam Sam missile. After a long time of trouble, no prisoner was rescued.
Operation Blue Light was even more deceptive and prepared for several months. When the operation finally started, eight operation helicopters encountered a sandstorm and lost two at the beginning. Subsequently, the hydraulic system of the No. 3 helicopter failed, resulting in insufficient minimum operation helicopter number.
The mission was forced to be terminated. It would be fine if it was suspended. On the return trip, the first C-130 collided with the same helicopter that had not yet taken off. The two planes caught fire and exploded. Eight were directly killed and injured.
"We are not afraid of death, and we are even willing to perform tasks that seem mortal for the sake of the country. None of these problems. But can we reduce tasks that are unnecessary but greatly exceed our capabilities?!"
The scalpel was very sad and angry. The giant wolf sighed, stood up and patted his shoulder: "Man, we are in it many times. We can only obey and obey the will of politics, even if they sometimes make decisions, they are so stupid."
At this time, the crane whispered to Hou Dasheng: "The brother of the scalpel was killed in Mogadishu. In order to reduce his responsibility, the US military did not report his death."
Hou Dasheng nodded to show his knowledge. In fact, he had learned from the service station and other jackals that the US military in Mogadishu suffered not only so little, but in order to make the data look better, they deliberately concealed some of the facts.
Some of the names of the dead were put into the training and death. At least in this way, the open data will look better. This is also their usual method. After all, if the loss of action is too great, it will be difficult to explain to the public when it comes to being kicked out.
The group of people were almost talking, and the giant wolf waved his hand and asked Hou Dasheng to rest first. Everyone laughed and left Hou Dasheng's ward, and the doctor walked in and smiled and said, "Cook, you still have to cultivate for a while."
"Dani will come to take care of you during this period." As he said, a sympathetic expression appeared on the doctor's face. The robotic Dani stood at the door with a smile. The smile made Hou Dasheng tremble.
This woman is not easy to mess with. Hou Dasheng looked at the doctor with a bitter face: "Doctor, I am a wounded person! Can you give me some better treatment?! Even if you are a prisoner of war, you won't suffer this torture..."
"What?! I'm here to take care of you, you still dislike it, right?" Danni's finger joints twisted straightly, and Hou Dasheng looked at his physical condition. He felt that he probably couldn't beat Danni now.
