God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 332 Raid on Omelan

"Drone?"

Saddam regained his energy and hurriedly asked, "Is it a drone like the US "Predator"?"

The "Predator" drone is famous in the Middle East.

It is an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft with attack capabilities developed by General Atomics of the United States for the United States Air Force.

This type of UAV has many uses. It can not only provide tactical reconnaissance for combat soldiers, but also carry 8 AGM-114 "Hellfire" missiles or "Stinger missiles" to destroy ground armored targets, or airborne to fight.

In addition, the head of the "Predator" drone is also equipped with a high-definition camera lens, which can transmit real-time video images back to the command post on the ground.

Since the war between the two sides, the communication hub of the Iraqi army has been repeatedly destroyed because of the presence of such drones, which relay communications in the air and monitor their every move.

As a result, all personnel transfers of the Iraqi army are under the watchful eye of the US military.

The U.S. military only needs to send fighter jets to carry out precise strikes based on the images sent back by the drones, and it can achieve great results.

However, the Iraqi soldiers had no power to fight back, they could only hide in the cave, not even daring to pop their heads out.

Saddam also tried to let soldiers use weapons to shoot down the U.S. drones, but after some attempts, he found that this was simply not realistic.

Because the shooting height of the bullet is usually more than 1000 meters, a little better of 3000 meters, but the maximum flying height of the Predator drone can reach 16000 meters.

It belongs to the unattainable existence.

"Mr. Victor, I don't know how much your drone costs?" Majid, who was standing next to Saddam, asked this question that everyone cared about.

It is said that the U.S. military's Predator drone costs as much as 500 million U.S. dollars, but although the price is high, if it can really work, the price is still very cost-effective.

As for the drones made in Mao Russia, they have never heard of them before, let alone know the specific performance
After all, no one wants to buy a test product.

Victor seemed to see their concerns, smiled, and said, "Mr. President, we gave you these two drones for free. As for the price, we can talk about it later."

He hasn't returned to China for nearly ten years, and he doesn't know much about the internal situation in Mao Russia, but for things like drones, it shouldn't be a very complicated technology in his memory.

Even the United States can do it, and Mao and Russia must be no problem.

"Thank you! Thank you! Mr. Victor! As long as your drone can reach half the level of the "Predator", we will make a big purchase!" Saddam shook his hand enthusiastically and promised on the spot.

A group of core personnel of the Iraqi army also beamed with joy.

They secretly rejoiced that this time, Lao Maozi finally had a conscience and did not sell them defective products that had not been tested.

Otherwise, with their current relationship, they would have to "actively" buy it in the end.

Soon, Saddam sent people to transport all these wooden boxes back to the command post.

Several experts immediately assembled some of the parts.

In the evening, a "Peregrine Falcon II" UAV with a length of 6.8 meters, a wingspan of 12.46 meters, and a height of 2.1 meters was successfully assembled.

Several Iraqi soldiers pushed the drone, and after sliding forward for a certain distance, as the tail accelerated and rotated, a faint buzzing sound sounded, and the "Peregrine Falcon II" successfully flew up to an altitude of 300 meters. and continues to rise.

Victor and Saddam were in a temporary electronic command room, watching the drone looking down on the ground from the first perspective.

During this process, the "technicians" brought by Victor are also patiently instructing the Iraqi soldiers on how to control the drone.

Its controller is actually something similar to a Sony game console.

In addition to eight buttons with different functions, the left side is also equipped with a small rocker, which can be pressed and held with the thumb to make simple fine-tuning of the flight of the drone.

This design allows an ordinary person who has never been in contact with a drone to get started quickly.

In order to make it easier for Saddam to watch, the technicians connected an external video cable to project the image returned by the drone onto the wall directly in front of him.

An Iraqi soldier, under the guidance of a technician, controls a drone and flies towards the town of Haji Omeran in Erbil Province in northern Iraq.

The appearance of "Peregrine Falcon II" is covered with gray stealth coating materials, which can minimize the possibility of being detected by radar.

The goal of their operation this time was to raid a stronghold of the US military.

Baghdad is about 600 kilometers away from the town of Omeran.

However, the "Peregrine Falcon II" UAV uses a fuel-electric hybrid, and its battery life can reach 60 hours. It can even hover in the air for a long time when necessary, for reconnaissance.

And this only needs to consume a very small amount of kinetic energy.

This is due to its falcon-like wings, which can maintain a gliding state for a long time at high altitudes with the help of wind.

Researchers in the Optoelectronics Laboratory finally designed this drone after countless experiments and combined bionics and aerodynamics.

Its maximum activity radius can reach 4000 kilometers, and its maximum flight speed is 389 kilometers per hour.

That's 108 meters per second.

Just like its name.

At this time in Iraq, it was not completely dark yet, and all the buildings on the ground were clearly visible, and occasionally some native Iraqi residents could be seen moving outside.

When the sky was completely dark, the technicians immediately turned on the infrared detection mode, and all objects on the ground that could emit heat reflections would be scanned.

Along the way, the infrared thermal imaging camera also found some wild animals such as cheetahs, caracal cats, and hyenas, all of which were automatically identified and marked by the system.

The "Peregrine Falcon II" UAV is like a pair of sharp eyes, looking down at the creatures on the earth.

Saddam and other people have long been dumbfounded. When have they seen such a high-tech gadget?

No wonder the U.S. military can beat them to the ground.

The gap in technology and information between the two sides is really too big!

At this moment, he has made up his mind that no matter how expensive the price is, he must buy a few, even if it is only used for aerial reconnaissance, it is worth the money!

soon.

In just over an hour, the "Peregrine Falcon II" drone had already reached the sky above the town of Omelan.

There was no danger along the way.

Saddam and others were also pleasantly surprised.

The U.S. military's radar surveyor did not even find their drone, which had already parked above their heads!

Eight twenty minutes past night.

Victor and Saddam conducted a brief analysis and exchange based on the image of the stronghold sent back by the drone.

Ultimately, they settled on a target reference on the image.

Subsequently.

Under the guidance of technicians, Iraqi soldiers constantly adjusted the angle of the drone and locked on a throwing point.

At the same time, a red button was pressed.

thump~
Thousands of meters above the sky, a "shooting star" shining with white light pierced the dark night sky and plummeted down.
