Chapter 1170 White Elephant Brand Loitering Missile
Misfortune never comes singly. Just when the red side was anxious about logistical supplies, an even more worrying piece of information came from the intelligence reconnaissance unit at the rear.
20 Apache helicopter gunships appeared behind the White battlefield. They are currently more than 200 kilometers away from the battlefield in the direction of the river valley and are expected to enter the battle zone in 30 minutes.
The Apache helicopter is only second. More importantly, multiple radar reflection points were found in front of the Apache helicopter. According to the low-altitude radar illumination analysis developed by the red team specifically for drones, these are estimated to be the white team's drone group.
It seems that after White suffered the loss of Red, it also began to use up all its magic weapons, and also took out the treasures at the bottom of the box.
It should be said that White has also seen Red's progress in drones over the years, so they have also been thinking about drones.
But the development of drones requires a foundation. White's foundation is insufficient in this area. Drones are the result of the integration of electronic engineering, electronic technology, communications, and industrial manufacturing. Although White is relatively leading in the software outsourcing industry,
But everything else is a mess.
The drone dispatched this time is not actually a drone in the true sense. It is a small thing called the suicide drone PALM-400. According to Bai Fang, this drone uses the latest technology on the market.
The most advanced technology, including the best new generation dual infrared optoelectronic system as an advanced sensor, the best power system to provide ultra-long range, better warhead charge design, etc.
This new drone will have higher accuracy than existing products and an ultra-long range of up to 100 kilometers.
The PALM-400 has a double-cross aerodynamic rudder design at the front and rear, the same non-folding wings, and the same launch mode of rail ejection. It looks similar to the Lancet suicide drone used on a large scale by Da Mao on the Ermao battlefield.
very similar.
The system made by Bai Fang inverted the front and rear wings, further enlarged the body, replaced it with a higher-performance photoelectric head, and turned it into their own new suicide drone, which became their own trump card.
Seems very interesting.
Looking at the military industrial enterprise that produced this suicide drone, it turned out that they were established through a joint venture and technology introduction with Hoopoe.
The advanced technology of Hoopoe's drones is recognized around the world, especially in the field of small drones. Many drones on the red side also started learning from Hoopoo's Harpy drones in their initial stages.
The Lancet can be said to be the star product among contemporary suicide drones. It has fully proven its value in actual combat, and it is also the one with the most success among all Blue Star suicide drones.
Bai Fang found the two best learning targets when he came up. He used the two benchmarks in the field of loitering missiles as a reference for his killer equipment, and used the more advanced hoopoe technology to develop his own white version of the lancet. Then
According to their opinion, can this performance be any worse?
But soon, the white team discovered the gap between itself and the red team in terms of drone application and interception.
This batch of suicide drones originally relied on the GPS positioning system. Now that the Blue Team's GPS system is no longer available, they use visual and terrain matching systems to locate.
After all, the range of PALM-400 is not particularly far, so this navigation mode is just fine.
The problem is that the controller in the white drone control room soon discovered that the surveillance images disappeared from the screen one by one.
A large number of PALM-400 suddenly disappeared after approaching the red team's defense line and lost control.
I originally thought it was signal loss, but after some inspection I found it was not that simple. The drone was completely destroyed, and even the radar signal was gone.
The lack of radar signal means that the suicide drone was not simply lost due to interference, but was directly shot down.
"How is this going?"
The commander of the drone unit couldn't believe what he saw.
A total of 100 suicide drones were launched this time. According to current opinions, less than 1% of them can land, and even those that land seem to have been strongly interfered with, lost their accuracy, and cannot make too much impact.
big effect.
It was originally used to attack the armored targets on the red line of defense, but now it seems that not a single tank has been hit, and all of them have been blinded.
The commander of the drone unit could only order his subordinates to launch the vehicle again and launch the remaining 100 suicide drones.
There is still no difference between this batch of drones and the previous batch. They also started to black out and disappear when they reached the red defense line.
This time, the commander of White's drone unit was completely convinced, and he did not order any more launches.
After all, this drone doesn’t look particularly big, but its requirements for logistical support are quite high.
With 8 fins plus 1 missile body, including the battery and engine, it is neither small nor light, and still takes up a lot of space on the logistics truck.
Therefore, the number carried is not very large. This is the first time to participate in actual combat, so as to test the results.
Now it seems that the results are there, that is, they are pulpy.
In fact, the red side's method of dealing with white's suicide drones is very simple. The relationship between drones and anti-drone drones has always been a spear and a shield.
The red side has long been at the forefront of Blue Star in terms of miniaturization and diversification of drones, and is even more top-notch in anti-drone operations.
For example, the "Silent Hunter" system using laser, such as the FK-3000 integrated artillery and projectile field system, etc., there are so many options to choose from.
The main vehicle of the FK-3000 is equipped with a fire control radar and guidance station. As the core, it carries several FK-3000 sub-vehicles equipped with anti-aircraft missiles for air defense missions. 12 4-seat sub-vehicles are installed on one side of the main vehicle.
Equipped with an anti-aircraft missile launcher, which contains 48 micro-air defense missiles with a diameter of 40mm.
This kind of micro-air defense missile is mainly used to deal with low-speed and small targets such as drones and cruise missiles. It has the characteristics of being launched and ignored, that is, it can automatically track the target and hit it without continuous guidance. The range of this micro-air defense missile is 5
kilometers, the maximum speed is 600 meters/second.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The other side of the main vehicle integrates 6 Hongqi-16" single-tube air defense missile launchers, with 40 kilometers of air defense.
This Hongqi-16" air defense missile is mainly used to deal with high-speed large targets such as fighter jets and bombers. It has the characteristics of infrared/radar dual-mode guidance, that is, it can select the best guidance method according to the characteristics of the target, and use a proximity fuze at the end to explode.
.The maximum speed of this Hongqi-16" anti-aircraft missile is Mach 3.
There is a 30mm single-barreled cannon in the middle of the main vehicle, which has an effective strike range of 4,000 meters and has certain anti-air defense capabilities.
This 30mm cannon is mainly used to intercept low-altitude, slow-moving targets such as armed helicopters and drones, and can also intercept slow-speed loitering missiles. The maximum rate of fire of this 30mm cannon is 600 rounds per minute.
In addition, the system also integrates a four-sided small phased array radar, which uses millimeter waves to optimize the detection accuracy of low and slow speed small targets such as aerial drones. This small phased array radar can simultaneously detect and lock
Hundreds of incoming small targets in the air, with speeds between 2.57 and 411.56 meters/second, cannot escape the radar's lock. The maximum detection range of this small phased array radar is 30 kilometers, and the maximum tracking range is 25 kilometers.
If small UAVs use swarms to attack, the FK-3000 integrated missile and gun field system also has another set of photoelectric detection systems to assist in detecting incoming targets, using two unmanned air defense vehicles carrying micro missiles
, carry out air defense operations in coordination.
Therefore, White's wave of one hundred suicide drones is really not enough for Red.
The red side deployed an anti-drone system on one side of the defense line, and had already expected that the white side would use this new combat method to deal with itself.
Now for the red side, no matter what means the white side comes up with, the red side has the means to deal with it.
The only thing that gives Red the biggest headache is supplies.
This is the most important and fatal problem. Without ammunition, even a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. No matter how powerful she is, she cannot defeat her opponent with stones.
In view of the red side's low-altitude defense network being too scary, the white side's Apache helicopter group received an order from the headquarters when it was about to enter the war zone - retreat immediately, don't risk death!
Just when the Apache helicopter pilots in the fleet were still a little stunned, the two Apache helicopters at the front had already entered the attack range of the red team's FK-3000 artillery shell integrated system, and were fired by the red team's Hongqi-16 air defense system.
The missile turned into a fireball and exploded in the air.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the remaining Apaches quickly began to fire decoys wildly, turned around and retreated quickly.
