Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 326: Gradual iteration, Snow Leopard Commander (please vote for me!)

Although the members of the reconnaissance team were hiding in a concealed area a few kilometers away, the joint patrol of Genna and the government forces still discovered anomalies, and AK bullets were fired directly at them.

"Da~da~da~~"

The battle was about to break out, and the leader of the reconnaissance team immediately fired back.

There were seven or eight people on both sides, and they all felt that they could win, but in this kind of light infantry confrontation, the side with higher individual combat literacy obviously had the advantage.

"Bang~~"

A gunner precision shooter on the patrol team raised his SVDS semi-automatic sniper rifle (SVD folding stock version) and fired. The person in charge who was still shooting fell to the ground and fell into a baby-like sleep.

"Bang~~"

He adjusted the muzzle of the gun smoothly, aimed at the second target, and fired again.

The intensity of the counterattack suddenly increased, and the two attackers were seen fighting and rushing, beating the opponent so hard that he couldn't keep his head.

"Keep alive!"

Seeing that the militants were completely suppressed, the patrol leader shouted to everyone.

"Bang~~"

Because of his words, the precise shooter who locked the third target pointed his gun slightly to the left, and the shot hit the opponent's right hand that pulled the trigger.

Old guns perform stably. As for the SVCh semi-automatic sniper rifle released by the Kalashnikov Group last year, it will take several years of modification and testing before it can be finalized.

Similarly, the precision shooter who retired last year has only used SVD.

As a soldier, it is enough to use one gun for a lifetime, but after Gerner made money, he used his salary to upgrade the scope of his gun.

The original PSO-1 type scope has a magnification of only 4 times. It was sufficient in those days, but now it has been overtaken by assault rifles.

If you don't change, the battlefield will teach you how to behave.

He purchased an aluminum alloy kit from the Czech SURESHOT Equipment Group, as well as a 5-20×56 PMII compact scope from Dezi Schmidtbender.

Except for not replacing the heavy barrel, the performance of this sniper rifle after modification is directly catching up with the official modernized and improved SVDM.

It's a pity that if you hit anywhere within the range, you won't necessarily be able to catch him alive.

"Boom~~"

The grenade exploded, signaling the end of the battle.

"The last one who was not injured shot all the wounded and then committed suicide by pulling a grenade."

Back at the outpost camp, Lao Yefu stood in front of the corpse and introduced the specific situation to Xia Yu.

"There are no survivors, and the same goes for our own people. In typical Ace style, the other party noticed you and came to the camp to collect intelligence."

He said, picking up an Enlightenment 2.

"This is a drone that automatically returns home when the battery is exhausted. Your Chinese products are very popular around the world, not to mention in Syria."

"The flight control software should have been cracked. There are still planes here. They are all no-fly zones."

Xia Yu took the battle-damaged version of the drone and looked it up and down before speaking.

Xinjiang has always had a strong desire to survive. Seeing that consumer drones were gradually developed for military purposes, it immediately launched a no-fly package.

But it’s useless, it’s easy to get around it, because it is an escape measure in itself.

The drones of these black forces were cracked as soon as they were obtained. As for the FPV time-traveling machines that did not require aerial photography quality, they were basically assembled by themselves, and there were no restrictions at all.

Xia Yu is optimistic about the development prospects of cruise missiles, and naturally also sees the potential for the military use of FPV traversing aircraft and becoming a low-profile version of cruise missiles.

This is why he did not use it first, in order to avoid, or delay, opening Pandora's box.

With the financial situation of Concentrated Fire Defense, they do not need to save these thousands of dollars. On the contrary, it is an important asset of the company, and they must strictly prevent the targets from using this new weapon.

Xiayu spent a lot of money to introduce red cheetahs for this reason.

And in the past two years, one car is enough. In a few years, if the situation continues to worsen, a second or third car will be needed.

After all, the company is always expanding, and each fleet must have one.

"There is no no-fly zone for the drones that you assemble yourself. You can use this to collect intelligence, but the picture quality is better. Ace is using another drone to throw badminton bombs."

Old Yefu had been bombed, so while he was staying in the camp, he would send out many patrol teams to pay attention to any suspicious people around him.

Only military-grade loitering missiles have an ultra-long attack range, while civilian-grade missiles generally cannot exceed 10 kilometers. It is relatively easy to defend in the fan-shaped area of ​​the opponent.

"It's a genius idea to use a badminton as a tail fin to stabilize the bomb's posture, but they secretly sold so much crude oil, why not buy a few 3D printers?"

After Xia Yu finished sighing, he had new questions in his mind.

Rifles can be printed directly, and simple plastic parts are even easier.

Husseini, who was tossing the badminton in his hand and supervising his men to make bombs, also had this question in his mind.

Easy acquisition is one reason, and the other reason is that the bomb warhead specifications are not uniform.

The weapons are purchased on the black market and seized from government forces and hostile armed forces. The calibers come from many sources. The grenades alone have three calibers: 30mm, 35mm, and 40mm.

Of course, there are also glass bombs that are old and new.

Put the unlatched grenade into a glass of suitable size and pin it to the tablet. If you throw it from a high altitude, it will not explode prematurely in the air. Moreover, the grenade has more charge than the grenade, so it is more suitable for bombing cars.

If you want to blow up a tank, you have to use mortar shells. Can a four-axis machine barely move a 60mm shell?

A large-caliber weapon must be equipped with a multi-axis plant protection machine, but that thing makes a lot of noise and will be discovered by the target if it drops to a distance suitable for bombing.

If you find out, it's over. The size of the plant protection machine is easier to be shot down by a machine gun than the four-axis machine, and the infrared signature is obvious.

Newer models of portable air defense missiles can lock on to targets and are equipped with proximity fuses, and can destroy drones without hitting them.

In the battle where Pannaka wiped out the White Hat Branch, the opponent killed Xiayu's MG-1S as soon as he fired his Needle-S. However, Lao Mei, who was frightened by the bombings in Xuliya and Zhenlaqi, quickly iterated their sting.

Not only has the impact fuze been upgraded to a proximity fuze, but the replacement seeker has a more sensitive infrared heat radiation sensor, which can lock on low, slow and small UAVs ranging from 2 kg to 20 kg.

But how much does a stinger cost?

Replacing this thing with a helicopter would be a huge profit, but exchanging it with a consumer-grade drone worth several hundred dollars would be a huge loss.

This is also the reason why Xiayu did not integrate portable air defense missiles into the red cheetah. You must know that the modern cheetah 1A2 has two stinger integrated on the left side.

Under the synthetic system, he would rather equip the weapons hunting near the convoy with two Mistrals.

The portable anti-aircraft missile is fired from the sky, and its range and shooting height can be more ideal!

Launched on the ground, it only extends one or two kilometers further than the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, which is really unnecessary.

Extremist groups like Ace Ace only robbed one MiG-21 and two MiG-23s from the government forces at the beginning of the war. They were still training at the Jialar Air Force Base, but two of them were killed. Three of them were also unable to take off.

Xia Yu estimates that the upper limit that extremist organizations can reach is this level.

In the future, if we encounter a more powerful enemy, it will be more practical to kill them in air combat than using portable anti-aircraft missiles.

Now, these hand-rubbed badminton bombs are the most common type of air attack encountered in concentrated fire defense. A 40mm grenade on the workbench was cut into eight pieces by organized engineers. With the help of pins and screwdrivers, a purely mechanical safety was modified, so that the warhead did not need to be pushed out by propellant as in the past. The safety could only be released after it was more than ten meters away from the chamber.

After it is assembled and put back together, it will be a badminton bomb that explodes when it touches the ground, which can effectively kill soft targets.

Husseini was very satisfied with this. He liked this new gadget.

Even two years ago, a Chinese couple used drones to cause them certain losses.

At that time, drones could only guide and calibrate artillery and report bombing points, unlike now when they can directly drop bombs.

"Report to Commander, we have completely lost contact with the reconnaissance team."

Deputy Usamah opened the door and came in to report to him.

They are all the most loyal warriors of Pearl. Losing contact means encountering an unexpected event. The vigilant Osmora and government troops killed the entire team.

"Are you not willing to let us see your trump card and make targeted defenses?"

Husseini was stroking his beard and still talking.

This just proves that the opponent will take action in the near future. The sacrifices of those seven warriors are not meaningless. At least it has strengthened his determination to enter a state of full preparation for war.

"Tell Jamil to keep an eye on the south."

Husseini ordered to Usamah.

Jamil is the grass-roots leader of the black army deployed in Palmyra Castle. They are the first to know when there is any trouble between the Russians and the government forces.

"Yes!"

The deputy took the order and left. At the outpost camp on the other side, a batch of supplies was sent along with the transport convoy, and the commander of the Red Cheetah also arrived.

The other party was fully clothed and wearing a peaked cap. He had a HK416 in his hand with certain signs of use. He had sharp eyes and a well-proportioned figure.

The first impression you get is that you have served in the military, but it is difficult to associate it with anti-aircraft artillery.

Lu Xianglin had been a soldier for 12 years and played with anti-aircraft artillery for 12 years. When he was discharged, he was assigned to the Meteorological Bureau, but the treatment in the system in inland provinces was far less than that in coastal areas.

Therefore, Lao Lu did not choose stability, and took the path of PSC and came to Jilaoke. Until recently, after handing over the job, he came to Xuliya next door and changed jobs to become an employee of Jihuo Defense.

I still handle guns for work, but more often I deal with old guys.

Xia Yu led him to the tent and saw a red cheetah that looked similar but different.

"Lao Lu, you should have a clearer view than me about the drone attacks that are getting serious in Zalaqo."

He planned to take this opportunity to have a good chat with the other party and get to know the new employee as soon as possible.

"Yes, boss. Just last month, the commander of an M1A1 tank belonging to the Zarako government army was named by a badminton bomb after he only opened the hatch to reveal his upper body."

This is how it is when being targeted by a drone. If you act professionally enough, you can still wait until the battery is exhausted. After all, a few dozen grams of explosives are nothing to a tank.

But you are not professional and cannot effectively use the commander's peripheral vision mirror to hunt targets or detect threats. If you lean out to get a better view, you directly become a living target.

"After decades, they still haven't made any progress. Maybe the poorer the Middle East is, the more effective they are in fighting!"

Xia Yu was unable to complain about the other party.

In concentrated fire defense, such low-level mistakes will never happen.

"But this also proves what I said. The battlefield in the Middle East is more intense than Afika. I need you to get familiar with this Cheetah A9 as soon as possible."

He continued to talk to Lu Xianglin.

Cheetah A9 is the official number of the red Cheetah in the company.

"It shouldn't be too difficult for you. The operations are the same. The chassis is the Leopard 1 chassis and has more ammunition capacity. I will assign you a driver, but he will also be responsible for an armored vehicle. Repair the car."

Xia Yu was talking about 06. Armored repair vehicles usually stay in the camp and will be dispatched when needed.

Then it would be more appropriate to place 06 on a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

Furthermore, to avoid facing saturation attacks, a two-person crew is enough for the Cheetah A9.

Anyway, it was hard for Xia Yu to imagine that more than 100 drones launched a death charge towards their convoy.

It cannot be an extremist organization with such organizational capabilities and technical personnel reserves. Only a serious military of a major country can achieve this level.

"Yes, boss!"

After getting into the car and taking a look, he found that he was indeed very familiar. Lao Lu responded.

As a professional in air defense, he is also the commander with the highest degree of freedom in the team. He only has to take care of professional matters, so it does not matter that he did not participate in the joint training ahead.

The driver 06 is more under the command of Kuhn.

Among the ground forces for concentrated fire defense, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are allocated with two infantry fighting vehicles instead of two tanks.

If the intensity of the battle is too high and the Weasel S30 and S3 run out of ammunition, the Cheetah A9 can also flatten its muzzle and fire output toward the ground like it did when facing north.

When the battle is at its fiercest, it is not about cost-effectiveness, but about using all available weapons to destroy the opponent.

Next, the two talked about weapons and life, and Xia Yu asked him to give him a code name.

Lao Lu thought about taking the cheetah, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that the snow leopard would be better.

"Indeed, snow leopards are better. They eat birds here and animals below. They eat both the sky and the ground."

Xia Yu nodded in agreement.

"Quoll, this is the Snow Leopard commander of our self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. Please take him to get familiar with his colleagues."

Xia Yu called Lao Liu and asked him to take charge of this matter, which was more suitable than Huang Jingxiu.

"Yes, boss!"

Lao Liu took the people away, and Xia Yu returned to his barracks.

Today’s itinerary is very fulfilling, but it’s not over yet.

When it gets dark and the lights of a normal city come on.

"Om~~"

When the propeller speed reaches the standard, the charged launcher ejects Sparrowhawk A into the air.

I saw the drone flying straight to Palmyra in the north.

Due to years of war, the power supply facilities here have long been destroyed, and the surviving civilians have long been accustomed to living without electricity.

The only people in the city who can still turn on lights at night are Ace members equipped with diesel generators.

They initially had a blackout, but the government troops surrounded and refused to fight after several attempts, which made this group of people relax their vigilance.
