Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 822 Sky Knight's First Battle

In the canteen of the First Aviation Division, the officers and soldiers were dining quietly, and Li Lan was no exception.!

Unlike the soldiers around, Li Lan never stopped asking Smith Kay about the current situation of some air force during the meal.

"Except for training trainers and models occupied by potential pilots, our Air Force currently has about 80 transport aircraft. The number of large transport aircraft jointly developed and produced by us and China also exceeds the number of equipment purchased from Russia. -76. In terms of fighter jets, the commander has never stopped the production of fighter jets over the years, and the size of the air force has also maintained a constant growth. Today, the land-based air force has an integrated air division and six aviation wings, and has combat operations. There are 550 aircraft, hundreds of other types of aircraft. Among them, the advanced sixth-generation fighters account for only 20%..."

A brief introduction gave Li Lan a basic assessment of the current combat effectiveness of the Air Force. The numbers mentioned by Smith Kay refer to fighters under the Air Force Command. If you count the independent air force of the military region. The number of fighter planes of the army and naval aviation force, and now the Red Police Corps has a trend of 900 fixed-wing aircraft.

This has a lot to do with the fact that Li Lan has been increasing the number of tank factories over the years. When the high-level authority was just reached, at that time one intruder could be produced every day, and it could be produced in just over 30 hours. A Black Hawk fighter, and now Black Hawk fighters can reach more than one Nissan.The air force is the arm that Li Lan wants to grow the most. As a result, the strength of the air force can be increased by one more wing every two months.The speed of expansion.It's amazing.

However, with such a large number of air forces, Li Lan never meant to stop, because the enemy in front of him was too powerful. The fourth-generation combat aircraft owned by NATO had long since exceeded three thousand. The number of shelves, especially the American one, is extremely large.

Therefore, it took four or five years to build this air force.Compared to NATO, it does not have any power advantage.

"Are all the new weapons complete?" Li Lan asked.

"As of today, the formation has been completed. The Vanguard Armed Fighter has formed a brigade with six vanguard armed fighters that can directly participate in combat missions. In terms of bombers, in addition to the formation of the Lightning Supersonic Bomber Wing, we A strategic support group consisting of six full stealth century bombers has also been formed. The formation of the UAV unit has also been completed. In addition to the land-based team of Sky Knight UAVs, we have also formed a self-destructive unit. The man-machine team. The sixth-generation stealth fighter. The fifth-generation stealth fighters of the three types of Apollo, Black Hawk, and Invader have also completed their respective construction..."

"The efficiency is very good. I have ordered the military factory to stop the production of the fourth-generation fighters. After the production of the last batch of fourth-generation fighters is completed, all production lines will be stopped, all fifth-generation fighters will be produced, and the sixth-generation fighters will be started. We have many types of fifth-generation fighters, so you should focus your work on the coordination of the various types of fifth-generation fighters, and strive to give full play to the combat effectiveness of each type. In this way For one thing, we will be able to effectively fight for air supremacy when we face the future complicated air enemy situation." Li Lan ordered.

"Commander, please rest assured, we have already started this work, and we will definitely come up with a satisfactory answer." Smith Kay nodded.

"Training and drills are to be carried out, and in the next war, the Air Force has to fight more beautifully." Li Lan exhorted again, then asked: "Are all the subjects ready?"

Seeing Li Lan talked about the topic, Smith Kay immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and said: "All subjects are ready, and the rest time after lunch will begin."

"Very well, I will be here with you throughout the process." Li Lan nodded.

...

After lunch, during the half-hour break, Li Lan sat on the lawn next to the airport, chatting with all the pilots, and finally took a group photo.

After the break, Li Lan stood quietly on the lawn, watching the busy ground crews and the neatly lined up planes. The elevators began to lean on the planes, and the mechanic engineers began to prepare for the final flight. The personnel began to pull out the ammunition from the underground ammunition depot. Dozens of suspended carriages drove out from the underground passageway. They were filled with neat ammunition and missiles. Driven by the trailer, they approached the aircraft's waiting runway.

The intense loading work began. At the location of the eight lightning supersonic bombers, a 500-kilogram aerial ground bomb was hoisted into a closed magazine by a crane. A dozen vehicles of bombs were quickly loaded. , Soon more than a dozen vehicles came over, which filled the eight bombers.

After the eight lightning bombers were loaded, the two Century bombers next to them were still loaded. The bomb load of the Century bombers was obviously 45 tons higher than the lightning bombers.Of course, the century bomber itself has a lot of lightning.

Next to it, eight Sky Rider drones are already full of missiles. Under each wing, two quadruple missile launchers are filled with missiles that open the laser shield. One Sky Rider is unmanned. The aircraft can carry sixteen medium-sized ground-to-ground laser-guided missiles.

At the same time, the pilots and bomber crews put on aviation suits began to line up in front of the aircraft, asking the mechanics about the inspection of the aircraft and understanding the electronic equipment on the aircraft.

Everything went well. After they started to board the plane, Li Lan was riding in the airport jeep and came to the Air Force Command.

In the headquarters, Li Lan did not board the superstructure of the headquarters. After getting on the elevator, the guard entered some passwords, turned on the inner elevator behind the elevator, and descended directly to 120 meters underground. The base camp of the Air Force Command.

In the huge underground space, neat rows of electronic instruments are placed around, hundreds of workers are sitting in front of the computer, and they are quickly tapping on the keyboard with earphones.

A corner of the space is divided into small independent areas.Nowadays, a small part of the electronic equipment in a corner has been turned on. The display wall is composed of three to five 21-inch LCD monitors on the top and bottom. Below is a keyboard with many complicated symbols, and there is a joystick like a fighter plane on the side. Style things.

After entering the underground space, Li Lan walked directly to this area. In the first row, eight of the twelve seats were already sitting on it, and the five monitors in front of each seat were also turned on. Among these people , One of them is Alena.

This is the UAV operation area below the air base.Each seat represents a drone.An operation key and a joystick, the pictures displayed by the five displays are the nose, the tail, the camera under the fuselage, radar data and wireless operation signal data.

At this time, all the displays are turned on, and the airport screen has appeared on the three display screens.Li Lan who came over did not speak.Quietly looking at these concentrated drone operators.

Ready drone.Under the operation of these people, they took the lead in taxiing to the take-off runway, and soon the tower signaled that it could take off.A drone began to taxi smoothly into the air.

The camera under the drone's fuselage soon appeared a vast ocean, and even the white water belt pulled out by the ship could be seen.

At the airport, after the drones took off, eight lightning supersonic fighters also came to the take-off line, took off one by one, and finally two century bombers.

"All the planes have taken off." Smith Kay walked behind Li Lan and whispered.

Li Lan nodded and didn't say anything. The time passed by like this one minute and one second. Ten minutes later, the blue water under the drone's camera had disappeared, replaced by a piece of withered Gobi, and then gradually flew past. In some towns, the eight drones seemed to have dispersed at this time, flying in different directions.

"Detected an active radar signal, coordinate 211, drone height 12, course 52, distance 270 kilometers." Alena, who concentrated on operating the drone, suddenly said.

"Don't worry, go ahead, three minutes later, all drones will launch missiles at the same time." A colonel in charge of drone command replied immediately.

...

Subsequently, the drone pilots detected the radar signals separately and got the same response, waiting time, and attacking at the same time.

Three minutes passed quickly, and the colonel of all the news in the summary ordered: "No. 1 and No. 7 missiles, anti-radiation missiles, lock the radar radiation source, and attack at the same time in ten seconds."

Each drone pilot quickly selects the missile on the keyboard and activates the lock target. Ten seconds later, the two missiles on the drone screen detach from the pylon and fly towards the clouds below.

The tense countdown began. On the radar simulation screen, two flashing missile targets began to approach the target red dot, and the drone also continued to fly toward the red dot.

A minute later, the missile reached the target, and the UAV's high-definition camera also caught the faint light of the ground far away.

"Hit the target."

On the radar display, there was also a hint of successfully hitting the target. As for whether the target was destroyed, it can only be seen after getting close.This reminder only told them that the missile did not deviate and exploded in the target area.

"Each UAV began to perform follow-up missions. After destroying all the targets, it immediately returned home, maintaining a height above 10, and paying attention to anti-aircraft artillery fire and missiles."

"Yes."

The eight UAVs quickly fought each other. According to the first target location on the database, they kept their course and carried out missile strikes along the way. They did not start returning until all the missiles on the UAVs were launched.

Behind, Li Lan, who watched the entire process of landing on the ground, nodded in satisfaction, and muttered alone: ​​"Sky Knight, it really didn't disappoint me, it's worth it!"

Sky Knight UAV: ​​Air Force combat UAV, production price-1.2 million base funds, construction time-three days.

Description: This is a heavyweight model belonging to the sky battlefield. It has an ultra-long communication distance and can maintain a cruise state for a long time. It can not only perform ground and sea attack missions, but also a drone with a vector thrust engine. A good aerial fighting knight, a true pride of the sky.With a certain stealth shape and stealth coating, it can hide most wavelengths of radar.When necessary, it can also turn itself into a death blade, stab at the enemy, crush itself and take a suicidal attack.

Armament: Four quadruple missile pylons, three high-precision cameras, miniaturized phased array radar, operating system integrated into the base system, electronic warfare information network...

Special note: The drone itself has very advanced self-operability, which can be operated accurately by humans. You can also use the mission system to make the drone take the way of self-flying and attack. Everything only needs one command, and it has a certain degree of intelligence. The man-machine system itself is fully capable of complex sea, land and air attack missions, and can even automatically take off and land on an aircraft carrier.The drone also has an advanced friend-or-foe identification system. The drone, which is connected to the base data link at all times, can distinguish any of our aircraft, including civilian facilities and civilian aircraft.

Recommendation: He is the most loyal fighter, but his steel body has the potential of a hero.

...

A simple performance can see many problems. The first is the stealth aspect. Although it is an external pylon, it can still hide its traces under the detection of enemy radar. This alone can be praised.

The other point is the smoothness of the attack. From the pilot’s order to launch the missile here to the UAV’s official launch of the missile, almost zero delay is reached, which is extremely precious for a UAV.

The Bagua City aircraft carrier under construction will also be equipped with this drone in the future, and it will also become the main combat force. The combat effectiveness of the Sky Knight is very critical.

Now, the manually operated drones have not disappointed Li Lan, so even if the sky knights performing autonomous tasks fail to achieve the expected results, it will not affect the number of equipment of this aircraft in the Red Police Corps.

This is also a good start, because there is not only one drone, there is also a small self-explosive drone, and a professional reconnaissance drone. The production of machines has a promoting effect.

The same is true for the army. The army equipment in the third-generation red police weapons also has some automated ground combat platforms, allowing cold machines to replace manpower. In this process, Li Lan has always had concerns in his mind. Now the performance of the sky knights has allowed He is much less concerned, and in the future, it may be possible to realize unmanned remote-controlled war scenes.

However, this road requires some time of practice and exploration, and Li Lan also understands that in many cases machines cannot replace people’s position on the battlefield. The reason is simple. On the battlefield, combatants will think independently, while machines do not. meeting.
