1205 Target drone capable of counterattack
"Just in the valley in front..." Liu Yijiu pointed to the helicopter in front where he circled. When the helicopter flew over, he found that there was a valley below. The soil on the newly built road was very obvious.
Long Yaohua suddenly asked Liu Yijiu, "Xiao Liu, I think the chariot you are studying is wheeled. If there is no convenient transportation in the place where the war occurs, and the terrain is rugged, if the paratroopers airborne, how can they be used for support? Should they be artillery directly at the landing place? Even the airdrop cannon is better than this!"
Liu Yijiu was a little embarrassed.
This is exactly why he didn't want to introduce the details of their light infantry chariot to Long Yaohua.
Although the wheeled type has much better mobility and movement speed on the road than the crawler type, there is no need to worry about crushing the road, in the wild environment, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles have great defects. It is very difficult to get up without roads or with a larger slope.
"This is also a problem we didn't expect at the beginning. After all, these projects have not been demonstrated in detail. The wars over the years have basically been near the city, with convenient transportation..." Faced with Long Yaohua's inquiry, Liu Yijiu could not escape even if she was embarrassed.
There are roads in the test site here. Although they are all gravel roads, they have also been manually excavated.
It is not a complete simulation of the field environment.
Even when entering the test site, these infantry fighting vehicles are very difficult to move, and the road conditions inside are even worse than those without roads. This is originally a test site for testing heavy weapons and equipment such as tanks and artillery.
The south is very different from the north. It is mountainous and has rugged roads, and wheeled travel is not very convenient.
The wheeled infantry fighting vehicle was also designed by the personnel in the fifth zone, considering that there was no such thing as China, and it took time to design it.
Light infantry fighting vehicles were used for urban support operations, and the United States and the Soviet Union were vigorously developing, but they did not expect that they would be in the mountains during the test, which caused Director Liu's current embarrassment.
If we consider not only the wheel type, but also the crawler type, it will be considered when designing at the beginning. There will be no embarrassment when the two are together.
"So, at the beginning, I didn't introduce it to you in detail. At present, the test of firepower is completed. After we are finished, we will redesign and replace it with a new tracked chassis..."
The smile on Long Yaohua's face seemed to be a smile.
At the beginning, he guessed that there must be something wrong with the chariot at this stage, otherwise it would be strange if Liu Yijiu didn't show off to him.
Wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are a future development direction. After all, urban street fighting is very different from previous wars.
The emergence of precise strike missiles, high-explosive warheads with high power, and heavy bombers with greater capacity have made field wars and large-scale group-based wars difficult to get ahead.
A full-scale war between two countries such as the Iran-Iraq War has become difficult and will not even occur in the future.
Especially the war between great powers.
"Urban war is indeed very important in the future, and the existence of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles is also necessary. However, the adaptability of the crawler type should be stronger." Long Yaohua did not mock Liu Yijiu.
The Ninth Academy's research in this regard has always been at the forefront of various units in China.
Where the armed helicopter was hovering, the helicopter with infantry fighting vehicles began to descend to the height. Even the transport helicopter was rapidly lowering the height. When the tires of several infantry fighting vehicles touched the ground, two soldiers emerged from the inside of the tank and climbed onto the roof. The helicopter's height continued to decline. The originally straight wire rope became bent. They quickly took down the hooks hanging near the chassis of the vehicle to signal the helicopter to raise the height.
Soon, four infantry fighting vehicles headed towards the test site in front, and the unhardened ground raised gusts of dust and smoke as the car moved forward.
The helicopter was quickly lifted up. The armed helicopter that was originally hovering in the air did not continue to hover, but waited for several other helicopters to form a formation with it.
The armed helicopter took the lead, and the three Z-91s were in a herringbone shape, surrounding the transport aircraft without attack capabilities in the middle, flying quickly towards the test site like an arrow.
"The infantry inside didn't come down?" Long Yaohua asked Liu Yijiu.
He thought that the infantry would come out in this valley.
"Get down from the front, the armed helicopters will be used for air strikes, and the infantry will quickly rush to subdue!" Liu Yijiu has not yet come back to his senses from the embarrassment that the infantry fighting vehicle was not used in many complex environments.
The helicopter continued to fly forward. When approaching the test site, there were suddenly several people dragging long tail flames on the ground, and I don’t know whether it was a missile or a rocket flying towards the helicopter group.
Long Yaohua's face suddenly changed!
This is an experiment. If you play like this, you won’t be able to die?
After many experiences, he did not question Liu Yijiu at this time. Liu Yijiu and the others could not have been unable to consider such a problem, and they could not have joked about the lives of soldiers and pilots.
"Discover the enemy's air defense firepower positions and kill them!"
"receive!"
Perhaps in order to make Long Yaohua feel at ease, the broadcast system in the helicopter cabin was turned on, and the conversation between the pilots could be heard very clearly.
The things that were dragging the tail flames on the ground fell down without flying far.
The armed helicopter at the front of the fleet began to advance quickly toward the front. At the same time, a ground-to-ground missile was fired on each of the short wings on both sides of the helicopter.
The missile's speed was much faster than that of a helicopter. It dragged its long tail flames into the sky and flew towards the ground, while the armed helicopter that launched the missile began to fly quickly forward.
Less than four kilometers, rocket launch nests on both sides of the helicopter's wings began to fire rockets violently into the distance.
In the white smoke, a flame suddenly appeared, and the rocket bomb dragging the white exhaust gas fell densely onto the target on the ground. Soon, the ground was brought up layers of soil by the explosion shock wave, and the dense smoke rose after the rocket exploded.
The large area was covered by smoke rising from the explosion.
“Buzz…”
As the ground was just hit and the helicopter was still moving forward and was about to continue to use airborne air guns to continue to strike targets marked on the ground, a black dot in the distant sky flew towards this side, getting bigger and bigger.
"Discover the enemy's air support force!" Before the order was issued, the helicopter in front fired another missile. The missile flew towards the target plane in the distance at a faster speed than the ground missile just now. At the same time, it ignored it. The 23mm automatic cannon under the belly of the aircraft began to spit out continuous flames to the ground...
Long Yaohua was very satisfied with the view.
However, what he didn't expect was that when the air-to-air missile was approaching, the target aircraft in the sky actually sprayed a lot of things from all around, and then quickly pulled up. Soon a burst of smoke appeared in the original area of the target aircraft, and the bait bombs continued to fly quickly towards the surroundings.
"Boom!" A bright fireball broke out in the sky, and the long-awaited sword-01 air-to-air missile launched by the armed helicopter was actually detonated by a bait bomb.
"Didn't hit it?" Long Yaohua was a little surprised.
This is an exercise.
He knew the performance of Changkong Lijian.
"Isn't it normal for these target aircraft to release bait bombs when they encounter attacking missiles, and can also quickly lift them after releasing bait bombs. This is the same as the situation encountered on the battlefield..." Liu Yijiu felt that it was very normal if he did not hit them.
Long Yaohua felt that his chief of staff had little knowledge.
"Is this what you designed on purpose?"
"How can it be! Our missile technology is developing, and the enemy's aircraft dodging technology is also developing. Especially when pilots encounter missiles that are attacking, they can avoid them if they are skilled..." Liu Yijiu said with a smile, "but these target aircraft are controlled by someone, not the previous thing that sets the flight trajectory and flies in the sky..."
"remote control?"
"right!"
Liu Yijiu did not continue to explain.
The situation in the sky changed, and two missiles were actually fired on the original target aircraft!
"You guys are really playing? What if there is an accident?" Long Yaohua was really angry.
The target aircraft can actually launch missiles!
"Don't worry, the leader, there will be no surprises. The distance between the two sides is far enough. Those missiles have undergone specially designed exercise bombs. Once they are within twenty meters of the helicopter, the safety device inside will be quickly activated, so that the missile can turn!" Liu Yijiu could not explain these things in detail to Long Yaohua. "Besides, honestly shooting targets, the targets do not have the function of counterattack. These pilots are not stimulating at all, not nervous, and they do not have pressure, so it is difficult to improve their skills..."
After all, there are too many technical issues involved.
Some things, although the technology is not very mature at present, can still be used.
In terms of safety, since it has been used, it must be guaranteed.
"Besides, even if the technology fails, these missiles are very slow and do not exceed the speed of sound. Otherwise, we would not be able to see clearly with the naked eye, and there is no warhead installed on it. With our helicopter's own defense armor, we can withstand..."
As I want to confirm what Liu Yijiu said, one of the two missiles launched on the target aircraft turned around after approaching the helicopter, while the other one crashed straight towards the helicopter.
Long Yaohua was stunned, but his face became very strict.
This is simply nonsense!
Helicopters fly at high speed, even a bird may cause the plane to be destroyed, let alone missiles?
Chapter completed!
