Zhou Yan didn't know how Commander Man convinced the exercise director. Anyway, five or six minutes later, the "Red" military aircraft infantry division that was still gathering was attacked by shrapnel fire, losing about three companies of troops and 100%.
Twenty weapons and ammunition.
The Qingyan Aviation technicians who were guarding the drone's ground control cabin were all confused: Who even turned on the map cannon, and just made a phone call and wiped out part of the enemy army?
"At the five o'clock direction of the Red Army's assembly point, about twenty-five kilometers away, a company of self-propelled howitzers set fire. If you were outside the control cabin, you should be able to hear the sound of blank rounds..." As he said that, Zhou Yan looked at
He glanced at Captain Man, who had a surprised expression across from him, and said, "Captain Man, your mechanized infantry regiment is a bit oversized. For an ordinary mechanized infantry regiment, it would be nice to have an assault gun. Your company's self-propelled howitzers...
"
"How did you determine the location of the self-propelled howitzer and its position?" Commander Man frowned.
"If your mechanized infantry regiment does not have considerable mobile artillery fire, it is impossible for you to fight against a division. Even 10,000 pigs can kill you. As for the artillery positions..."
Zhou Yan thought for a while and continued to answer, "When the drone takes off, it will circle outward along a certain arc. I don't need to say more about where the center of your position is? As for the artillery position, I just said
Look at the concentration of the dead on the Red Army position, it is fan-shaped..."
"It's a pity that you don't join the army..." Commander Man smiled and said, "Guess what the Red Army will do next..."
"Send out reconnaissance troops on a large scale, locate the main force of the Blue Army, and encircle them with superior force..."
When Zhou Yan was talking, Xu Chongsheng on the side was a little unhappy: "Mr. Zhou, we are now the Blue Army..."
"The Blue Army equipped with C3ISR," Zhou Yan snorted coldly, "How can they be wiped out so easily? There are drones in the sky peeking at the screen, and C3ISR commands on the ground are given to each squad. If so, they can still be killed by the enemy.
If the encirclement and suppression is underway, at least there must be digital troops on the other side..."
"President Zhou," Captain Man looked at the screen with a smile, "If you were the commander of the Red Army, what would you do now?"
"Of course, we need to make good use of field anti-aircraft missiles and knock down the drones first. Without the big map," Zhou Yan smiled evilly, "At least we can use the advantages of numbers and firepower to overwhelm others..."
At the same time, all the field anti-aircraft missiles in the Red Army sequence were activated, and the guidance radars they were equipped with also began to rotate continuously.
"Mr. Zhou, the air defense radar scanning wave has been detected..."
"Climbing, the electronic countermeasures device is warming up..." Zhou Yan was not too worried, "The warm-up is completed, adjusted to full power mode, the two drones behind, with all ground attack mounts, are ready to take off..."
After saying that, Zhou Yan glanced at Captain Man, who didn't seem to be dissatisfied because Zhou Yan was taking over his duties.
"Local radar position has been locked."
"The drone is mounted! Do you want to take off?"
Zhou Yan glanced at Commander Man: "Chief, should we disable their mid- and short-range field air defense missiles now, or should we wait a while?"
"There's no rush!" Captain Man smiled, "Right now, their air defense firepower is concentrated. If we can't get it right in one step, our drones will easily get trapped. When their formation expands and they can't take care of both, we'll defeat them one by one."
After that, the two drones mounted for ground attack continued to stand by, while the drone responsible for electronic countermeasures was placed above the heads of the Red Army, monitoring the area beyond the coverage of air defense firepower from a distance.
Captain Man took some time off from his busy schedule to adjust his deployment in real time based on the enemy's situation on the "map" while chatting with Zhou Yan.
"Mr. Zhou, when you sell your drones to users, you have training on how to use them, right?"
"It must be there, but Lao Man..." Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head, "The price of this drone, together with the ground control equipment, is at least 70 to 80 million, and it must be at least a group army level
Only with such a strong establishment can we have such a large purchasing power.”
"Isn't it just a motorcycle engine and an aluminum alloy body? How can it be so expensive?" The political commissar thought it was a bit incredible.
"Motorcycle engine?" Xu Chongsheng said with disdain, "Ours is a serious turboprop engine. This engine alone is 10 million smaller. It has an aerospace-grade carbon fiber fuselage and a titanium alloy main beam. It's beautiful."
The Global Hawk is configured like this..."
Zhou Yan, who was sitting aside, naturally heard some of Captain Man's needs and handed over the samples of small and medium-long-range drones that had been prepared in advance.
"Our company is developing two more models. One is powered by an internal combustion engine, as Political Commissar Dou said, with a range of about two to three thousand kilometers and a payload of more than two hundred kilograms; the other is electric, with a maximum range of three hundred kilometers.
, the load is ten kilograms."
Captain Man took the sample, turned it over a few times, and put it on the table: "I'll take this back and look at it. Is it okay?"
"Originally it's for users," Zhou Yan smiled. "The internal combustion engine-powered one, with its ground control cabin, is smaller than this. Of course, the cost is also cheaper, 8 million for a set, and wholesale discounts are available. As for the electric one, it's 100,000.
, the turnover box, together with the ground control equipment, is only the size of an 18-inch suitcase."
"Oh," Captain Man frowned and thought about it, "According to what I know, AVIC has similar drones, but they use internal combustion engine power..."
"Using an internal combustion engine as power will naturally reduce the cost," Zhou Yan smiled, "And the same model in the beautiful country is also powered by an internal combustion engine. Captain Man, have you ever thought about why the beautiful country uses an internal combustion engine as a power source?
power?"
"Low cost, low-speed cruising, and good fuel economy?"
"This is just one of the considerations," Zhou Yan sighed slightly, "and the prerequisite for the beautiful country to use an integrated reconnaissance and attack drone is an asymmetric war or the premise of having achieved air superiority.
When we design drones, we need to consider the issue of air control or air defense. Internal combustion engines have an inherent disadvantage. Even if a turbocharger is used, the climbing height and speed will be limited..."
Zhou Yan paused and continued to preach.
"UAV bases generally need to be arranged in the rear. When they need to be dispatched, they already have a clear target. Soldiers are very fast. When the target is found, the speed of an internal combustion engine-powered UAV is definitely not as fast as a turboprop UAV.
If it is fast, the combat effectiveness will naturally be a little worse.
As for the efficiency of the power system, turboprop engines only need to set up several transmission gear combinations according to the working conditions.
In this way, the turbine core aircraft can always stay at the optimal economic speed, and the drone can fly in a suitable airspeed range.
Moreover, the high speed and aerodynamic design have a higher chance of survival on the battlefield."
"That's true." Captain Man thought for a moment and stared at Zhou Yan with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, if it is powered by a turboprop, it will be better sold to the big players in the Middle East, right?"
"Hehe..." Zhou Yan and Xu Chongsheng did not answer directly, they just giggled.
