Most of the UAVs at this stage are reconnaissance UAVs. Most of them carry reconnaissance equipment and have almost no attack means. Although there are armed models, they only carry a small number of missiles for precision strikes.
After all, although the light weight of the drone is an advantage, the light weight also means a small load capacity. Two small missiles are already the maximum load capacity. One or two more missiles may affect the flight distance and flexibility.
As for some UAVs carrying cannons, they are already ground attack aircraft. Not only are they complicated to operate, but their accuracy is not as good as real enemy attack aircraft.
Although UAVs are cheap to build, easy to take off, and can even start flying by just throwing them into the sky with centrifugal force like a swing, they are not as good as real air force vehicles in some aspects, and their ability to compete with air enemies is also quite poor.
Even just two heavy machine guns are needed to block the sky, making it impossible for such fragile drones, which mostly fly at altitudes below a thousand meters, to carry out safe reconnaissance activities.
"Maybe we need a helicopter."
Edward was sitting peacefully in the military off-road vehicle. Although it was late at night, he was not tired at all. He gently knocked on the bulletproof window and thought quickly in his mind: "If it is reconnaissance and ground attack, a light helicopter
It’s pretty good.”
The helicopter's ability to stay in the air is obviously unique, especially after it is equipped with rocket launchers and aerial cannons. It is the natural nemesis of ground troops. After all, it is impossible to defend against attacks from high places.
Even the tanks of the King of Land can only end in disgrace if they do not have effective air defense means. After all, even their powerful artillery has the highest shooting angle. How can a helicopter that is almost ten degrees from the sky?
confrontation?
"Light reconnaissance helicopter, but we need supporting vehicles."
Jessica frowned slightly, of course she also thought of this kind of weapon, but the helicopter needed a platform to take off and land, and compared to the powerful heavy armed helicopter, it was actually not that powerful.
The most famous light reconnaissance helicopter is probably in service with the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps. The "Little Bird" AH-6 helicopter can not only provide command, rescue, reconnaissance, light attack, and even anti-submarine and troop transport, logistics support, etc.
ability.
And although it is a light helicopter, it also belongs to the scope of armed helicopters. It can carry standard 7.62mm heavy machine guns and 30mm cannons, even 70mm rocket launchers, and "TOW" anti-tank missiles.
If possible, this bird-like light helicopter can even carry "Stinger" missiles for air combat, and its combat ferocity is no less fierce than that of ordinary armed helicopters!
"Then we can still exchange one for the "Little Bird" AH-6 light armed helicopter."
Jessica nodded, estimated the matching weapons and vehicles, and then said to Edward: "If it is a take-off and landing platform, two modified trucks can carry and undertake the take-off and landing tasks."
The "Little Bird" AH-6 light helicopter only weighs a few tons and is only more than two meters when fully deployed. A specially modified truck can indeed carry it and serve as a take-off and landing platform.
"That's it." Edward nodded and opened the redemption interface in his eyes. The points required for the "Little Bird" AH-6 light armed helicopter in the vehicle category are only 35,000 points, which is basically compared to the T72 main battle tank.
Also the same price.
Moreover, Edward's total points are now close to 150,000. Excluding the more than 10,000 points used to replenish ammunition due to battle consumption, the remaining 140,000 points can completely replenish the entire company's personnel.
According to Edward's armored infantry company, due to the need to strengthen firepower, it is much larger than the original 120 people in the previous life. Basically, the result of Edward and Jessica's discussion is that the entire company has nearly 150 people.
Of course, the main infantry combat force is still the U.S. Marine Corps, and the rest of the Alpha Special Forces, Army Rangers, etc. are all second and third echelon combatants.
"We need 90,000 points to recruit three classes of Marines."
Jessica tapped her forehead slightly, and joined three classes of Marines. The current unit can basically be called a company-level unit. Excluding the light armed helicopters exchanged, it can just maintain the current points situation.
"But then our armored vehicles such as tanks and infantry fighting vehicles need to be postponed for exchange." Frowning slightly, Edward nodded and confirmed: "But adding light helicopters will obviously improve our combat capabilities a lot."
Endless points are waiting for him to harvest in the vast state of California. Edward is not worried about the shortage of points. He only needs to continue to capture a few DX expeditionary bases, and the points will still come back.
"Then confirm the exchange."
Looking at the dark night outside the window, Edward and the game system in his mind saw a large amount of data flowing through him. The system accepted Edward's signal and transmitted it to Jessica instantly. The large amount of data flowed and gradually materialized outside.
A large number of points dropped rapidly. As if receiving some order, the entire army slowly stopped advancing and gradually formed a circle to form a circular defensive position.
The black gun barrels were aimed at the outside, and in the open space inside, green light flashed. A large amount of data gradually became entangled, and quickly materialized into thirty fully armed soldiers and two infantry fighting vehicles.
and a huge truck.
"Sir, the Marines are reporting to you!"
The soldiers stood still, but Edward returned the greeting and looked at the two infantry fighting vehicles and the huge truck. These were obviously benefits given by Jessica because Edward redeemed them.
The two familiar "Weasel" infantry fighting vehicles did not shock Edward, but the black helicopter behind the huge truck showed that mysterious and wonderful color under the light.
The "Little Bird" AH-6 light armed helicopter is a real air force unit. It is not only a good helper for ordinary troops, but also a real good friend of special forces. By borrowing this vehicle, you can perform some stronger tactics.
.
"What I need!"
The corner of Edward's mouth curled up into a smile. He got out of the car and took a few steps forward. Looking at the pilot coming out of the helicopter, he felt a sense of peace in his heart. This was a real air force unit. For the non-air defense force,
will be fatal.
Especially the one equipped with a rocket launcher nest will give the enemy a hell-like feeling! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is mine.
