Chapter 508: The Malays also call trump cards?(1/2)
(Challenger 1 was discontinued for 86 years in 1990, and Challenger 2 was already under development. The Challenger 1 that participated in the Gulf War in 1991 was a Malay equipped with reactive armor, and those in hand are all obsolete models.)
The Malay armed helicopter here just ran away, and the six low-altitude Devil Birds here at Kuching Airport pulled the joystick and accelerated towards the battlefield.
Even if it is a propeller plane, its speed is far faster than that of a helicopter. It crosses the city and appears on the battlefield. As soon as the Devil Bird appeared, Craig Wright immediately ordered: air intelligence radar, ballistic missiles, early warning radar, anti-artillery
The radar is on level 1 alert.
Electronic jamming radar, opening the battlefield to blockade.
Craigie, this is to prevent the Malay anti-aircraft weapons. Although the Devil Bird far exceeds the Malay armed helicopters in terms of maneuverability, acceleration, climb rate and other aspects, you still have to be careful when facing anti-aircraft missiles.
(When the electronic jamming radar is turned on, it will not block own communications.)
The Devil Bird team quickly assigned the target on the communication channel without the need for a ground command team leader, and immediately began to dive and quickly lock the mounted Hellfire missile on the target.
The launch preparation period is the most dangerous time and is also the biggest shortcoming of the Hellfire anti-tank missile. The reflection height cannot exceed 610 meters. Once the height limit is exceeded, the locking cannot be completed.
Lock, complete lock. It only takes about 10 seconds. Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The six Hellfires detached from the fuselage, and the tail fins on the missile opened and accelerated in mid-air. Sparks and lightning shot towards the target tank.
After the launch, 6 Devil Birds showed their belly and quickly pulled up.
Just when it reached an altitude of 1,000 meters, the infrared locking alarm on the plane quickly blasted. The Malays also have anti-aircraft missiles, especially their ace troops.
Six missiles were fired from the rear of the Malay army and were detected by the missile early warning radar and air intelligence radar on the umbrella side as soon as they took off.
Calculate the speed and elevation angle of the opponent's missile through radar waves. After the ballistic trajectory is entered into the formula, the computer can quickly calculate the coordinates of the opponent's air defense weapon.
At this time, Craigie had no time to pay attention to whether the Devil Bird in the sky could survive after being locked by the missile. It all depended on the pilot's own ability. Of course, he could also pray to God.
In the ground command headquarters, after Craigie got the target measured by the radar team, he immediately ordered that the rockets should be accurately positioned and the coordinates should be set, and the attack would be covered with full firepower.
A normal rocket launcher company in the U.S. military should be equipped with nine m270 launch vehicles, but because some of them are included in the armored wing and have to give way to small oak tree anti-aircraft missile vehicles, the Umbrella combat brigade is only equipped with six.
But six 12-tube M270s can shoot out 72 rockets in one minute, which is enough to cover a small range of firepower.
It will take 5 minutes after receiving the coordinate adjustment and setting the basic dollar amount.
At this moment, the anti-aircraft missiles in the sky have chased behind our own Devil Bird team.
Everyone in the combat command room was paying attention to the high-speed moving red dot on the large screen where the radar was switched, almost sticking to the back of the green dot.
The sky at this moment.
The pilots on the six Devil Birds scattered and escaping had different expressions, some were solemn, some were relaxed, and some were shouting.
The excited shouts of Jiliwala were clearly transmitted to the command room through the communication channel.
The pilots of the six Devil Birds did not need to command at all. Each of them made their own judgment. They pressed the launch button of the interference bomb and made evasive actions at the same time before the missile approached.
If you take out the camera to take pictures, you will see that a moment before the missile approaches, a Devil Bird suddenly climbs vertically and quickly escapes the explosion range of the anti-aircraft missile.
This is still a relatively simple conventional evasive action.
But the other ones had more fun. They used a twin-engine turboprop aircraft to roll over in the air, draw an arc, and turn 90 degrees before escaping out.
On the other side, the Airborne Death Tumble Cobra Sport.
Is this what the fuck a propeller plane should do?
How about there being fewer white people? There is a reason for this.
While doing crazy evasive movements, he was shouting in the air, as excited as he was having an orgasm.
Four red dots on the radar screen in the combat command room exploded on the spot and disappeared. Two red dots suddenly surpassed the green dots and shot out in an unknown direction.
Okay. Sean was the first to shout and clapped. His hand holding a cigar was waving in the air. What does it mean to be an ace pilot?
Even the Malay Army calls him an ace pilot.
Can they be considered pilots?
Forget it.
He doesn't have this ability, you know?
Sean pointed with excitement, King Charles, Ahmad Zaidi and others also reacted, and a wave of missile attacks was perfectly avoided without any damage.
It’s no wonder that Sean is so arrogant. He has such hard power that he can’t compete with a few people. At this time, they naturally followed up and started a flattering frenzy. This is not a compliment, it is a statement of facts.
Sean is very happy.
At this moment, the correspondent next to him reported loudly that three of the five Hellfire rounds successfully hit the target and completed the attack on the top. The enemy tank was scrapped. The other two tanks were slightly damaged.
After hearing the report, Sean pursed his lips, crossed his legs, picked up the cigar and took a deep breath. Next to him, Charles immediately said loudly, unscathed, three kills completed, what is this? This is the gap.
Sean gave Charles an approving look.
After such a delay, the M270 rocket vehicle has completed preparations for launch. Craigie gave an order, and 72 rockets spanned a distance of more than ten kilometers, heading towards the target coordinates and covering them.
Boom boom boom, the target coordinates were covered with small rockets. In the sky full of fire, a small mushroom cloud rose into the sky, dozens of meters high.
The distance was too far and the sound of the explosion could not be transmitted to the command room with good sound insulation, but the real-time footage captured by the reconnaissance system was clearly visible.
There was another burst of cheers in the command room.
Of course, I don’t know the specific impact of the attack. Even if the so-called Malay ace troops are relatively weak, they should still have basic battlefield strategies.
It is common sense to run away immediately after firing an anti-aircraft missile to prevent it from being destroyed by local covering fire.
No, there really are people who don’t flee the scene after shooting in the wild.
No way? No way.
At least six M270 missiles on the umbrella side were launched. After that, they kicked the accelerator and ran away immediately, heading towards the second predetermined location.
Order: Devil Bird Team A continues to attack ground tanks.
Order: Devil Bird B team took off and mounted rockets to prepare to enter the battlefield. Craigie quickly gave the order.
If the Malay Army Taipan did not know how to escape after launching the anti-aircraft missiles, then the anti-aircraft firepower must have been wiped out under this round of coverage strikes.
If the Malay Army had basic combat qualities, they would definitely be changing their locations at this moment. But it would take a lot of time to complete the pre-launch preparations again.
Taking the current most advanced M270 rocket launcher system as an example, the combat operation change time is 2 minutes, which literally means the conversion time from combat state to marching state is 2 minutes.
The conversion time for marching and combat is 5 minutes, and reloading takes 5 minutes. The initial calibration time for combat is 17 minutes. After getting the coordinates, it needs to be adjusted. It takes 5 minutes to accurately shoot Zhuyuan.
Without changing the location or changing the shooting, the interval between two firings will be 5 plus 17 minutes. If it is necessary to run away, the time required will be as high as 40 minutes.
Of course, this is based on the pursuit of accuracy. If the shooting is to cover a large area, the minimum is 5 minutes per round.
If it is replaced by the 107 rocket launcher from the north, it will be faster.
For anti-aircraft missiles, there is no need to adjust the shooting. What Chu Yuan needs is that the time required to complete the lock can be faster, but the difference will not be too big.
Craigie did not believe that the Malay Army's anti-aircraft missile force could be more elite than his own American soldiers. He was confident that he would take advantage of the enemy's firepower gap to let the Malay Army's tank department
The team suffered heavy losses, and at the same time, he was also ready to induce the enemy's anti-aircraft fire or artillery units to expose their coordinates and then carry out key strikes.
After receiving the order, Devil Bird B used its cruising speed to target the rockets mounted in the sky, while Team A swooped down and assigned the target to hit, and the Hellfires swished indiscriminately.
This time there will be no gap period when there is no threat of anti-aircraft fire. There is no need to hover at an altitude of about 500 meters to lock, launch, lock, launch.
Destroy all mounted Hellfire anti-tank missiles in one go.
Facing the Devil Bird swooping down again, the Malay commander Sejitan almost cried and shouted to retreat.
But at this time, the challenger who is still entangled by protective umbrella m1, how can he retreat with peace of mind and run at full speed in a straight line. What is the difference between picking up soap while taking a shower in prison?
I'll blow up your ass.
This is how modern warfare is. Once the enemy takes away air superiority, it's all over.
In just 5 minutes, even though the Malay tank crews frantically tried to evade, the rear base also sent armored vehicles to cooperate with soldiers carrying individual anti-aircraft missiles, but they were still beaten badly in a short period of time. When the war started
, more than 20 tanks. How majestic they were when they went out? How embarrassed are the five tanks running away now?
The loss is too great, too tragic.
The money spent on purchasing the tanks, maintaining them over such a long period of time, training qualified tank drivers and gunners, and investing in the tank force exceeded 50 million pounds, which is close to 90 million U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate.
What concept?
(In 1979, the British Army placed an order of 300 million pounds for 243 Challengers at a unit price of 1.3 million pounds.)
In about 6 minutes, all the Hellfires hung by the Devil Bird team were empty. They flew at low altitude to measure Kiev and then hovered in the sky but did not turn around and continued to hang bombs.
There are other tactical tasks that have not been completed. The response speed of the Malay army's anti-aircraft firepower is too slow.
Originally, Craigie was afraid that the other side would deploy more than two firepower points to make the air force be careful. But now it seems that they are really just one wave.
Seeing that the M1 on the ground was already pursuing them, Craigie thought for a while and then ordered: The 212th Regiment was dispatched to cooperate with the tank troops in advancing.
He wants to force the opponent's heavy firepower to come out.
After 5 minutes, the Malay Army's anti-aircraft firepower was finally ready. The surface-to-air missiles took off again. The Devil Bird team, which had been prepared for a long time, formed a battle formation and began to accelerate towards Kuching.
In the battle formation, everyone is very close to each other, the distance is not more than 50 meters, each one does not even use a headset, and communicates with gestures as they did during World War II.
take a gamble
If anyone is shot down, he will strip naked in the camp.
