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

Chapter 475: Tactical Guidance, the Yellow Bird Behind
"Nothing, I just found some business opportunities. Libya is a good place!"

Xia Yu said with emotion.

As the country with the largest oil and gas reserves, Afika should not have purchased too many weapons and equipment during the Gaddafi era.

Even though most of them are outdated, when he comes here, he is still like a weasel into a chicken coop or a garbage man into a scrap yard.

On the other two sides of the apron, which were invisible to the couple, there were 15 MiG-25 Foxbat fighter jets parked.

They were just as unworthy of the Taiping Army and the Government of National Unity to waste missiles on as those Tu-22Bs, and they were retired and turned into zombie aircraft during the colonel's tenure.

For example, Aljilia next door is still maintaining the operation of the Foxbat Squadron, but it seems that it will not last for many years. Xia Yu’s idea is to take over all the MiG-25s of the two countries.

The ones in poor condition at Libiya will be used as spare parts, while the ones in the next batch that have always been airworthy will be converted from single-seat ones into unmanned target aircraft and from two-seat ones into operating aircraft to form a ground-based Foxbat squadron.

The powerful stainless steel brick could not be put on the ship, so it remains in the Cold War branch of Mary, allowing visitors to experience the top speed of Mach 2.65 (two-seater).

Not to mention unmanned target aircraft, the MiG-28 is only the officially recognized CP of the Tomcat. In actual combat, more were shot down by the MiG-25.

Lao Mei's performance was relatively poor, but Persian Cat got several kills.

The aircraft has sacrificed maneuverability for the sake of high-altitude and high-speed performance indicators. It cannot catch up with close-range combat missiles with an average speed of about Mach 2, but medium-range missiles can teach you how to operate a plane, not to mention heavy long-range air-to-air missiles such as the AIM-54.

Customers who want to experience the F-14D in depth will definitely not be able to refuse a MiG-25. If the budget is sufficient, you can choose a Phoenix with full equipment, or just use it as a semi-target plane.

A sharpshooter can kill an enemy with one bullet, and our ace pilot can destroy an enemy plane with one missile.

Once the batch of airworthy target aircraft at Aljilia are used up, the batch of zombie spare parts aircraft at Libiya will not attract much attention. After all, these things are quite difficult to serve.

After settling down in the assigned accommodation, the convoy that set off earlier arrived at Jufra Air Force Base before dark.

Mr. Ye, who had just finished his work, came to the restaurant and drank three glasses of wine as a punishment, expressing his apology and happiness.

"I don't know if they will come tonight. The last attack was a week ago."

Putting down the glass and refilling it, Old Yefu said expectantly.

"Khartaf promised me that he would dispatch two Wing Loong IIs to take turns defending Jufra Air Base. We can all sleep well tonight."

Both are reconnaissance and strike drones produced in China. The performance indicators of CH-4 are slightly inferior to this one, and only CH-5 can compete with it.

However, after solving the problem of whether or not to have them, many users bought both types of drones, forming high and low configurations in their use.

However, the army's combat effectiveness is poor, and the reconnaissance and strike drones are forced to be used as consumer-grade drones. Large manufacturers prefer to package the entire production line.

It is needed for the defense of their own homeland, and it is also needed for long-distance missions to teach the Slipper Army a lesson and to support Libya. The few hundred aircraft purchased are indeed not enough.

Buying parts and assembling them can improve the country's industrial level to some extent. The risk of having too single economic institutions is too great, and oil prices have also plummeted before.

"If they don't come today, they will most likely come in a week or two. Besides, the Tuerqi people have suffered a loss, and given their character, they will definitely seek revenge."

After finishing a glass, Xia Yu continued to analyze for Old Ye Fu.

Controlling a drone is not very difficult, but it is not something you can learn just by getting the equipment. The drones on both sides are controlled by the original crews of these drones.

If the ground control station and TB-2 were destroyed together, others might have swallowed their anger, but Tuji definitely wouldn't.

In order to get back their position, they will definitely take action.

"These guys won't send out F-16s, will they? My Beech will be waiting for them then."

There is no word "give up" in Lao Yefu's dictionary, but he is a businessman who has climbed up from the bottom. Even if he has not heard the story of Tian Ji's horse racing, he understands similar principles.

Germany's MiG-29 faces off against the enemy's F-16. To be honest, the local fighter with self-developed radar has not yet fully upgraded its phased array like Jiehuo Defense (after all, there are two of them), but the enemy has early warning aircraft!
If we have no chance of winning, of course we have to avoid the enemy. It is not shameful for us to use anti-aircraft missiles.

"That's not the case, but these two Wing Loong IIs may be shot down."

Xia Yu made a bold prediction.

Many MQ-9 Reapers have been shot down by our fellow countrymen. This reconnaissance and strike drone has little maneuverability and relies entirely on flying high to avoid portable air defense missiles.

But when facing fighter jets and serious anti-aircraft missiles, to be honest, it is just a sitting duck.

"Just destroy it, and let Khaltaf ask the UAE for more. Anyway, they have production lines to produce them. I feel a little sorry for them. Don't save money for them."

Old Yefu said nonchalantly.

He was being generous to others, although he was also a little jealous.

"In Libi Ya, we just fought a lot of battles and exchanged equipment with each other. I feel like this civil war will never end in my lifetime."

After another glass of wine, Mr. Ye, who was drunk, finally said.

Because this is not Syria, a country composed of loose tribes. Without the suppression of strong men, wars would break out every other day.

Originally, Xia Yu thought that Colonel Ka was very abstract, but the truly abstract one was actually Libya.

"There is money to be made only when there is war. I'm sure Mr. Yevgeny is unwilling to give up the benefits here!"

Xia Yu, who had also finished his last glass, put down his glass and said.

"Yes, the business in Libi Ya is a no-brainer. Other places that can't pay cash have to run them themselves, which always feels troublesome."

Old Yefu was talking about Zhun Fei's business. He had to learn how to run a mine. Even though the expected profit would be higher, he still had to put in the same effort.

“It’s a bit troublesome, so apart from uranium mines and oil fields, I choose to cooperate with others to develop other types of minerals.”

Xia Yu said with deep agreement.

Gold mines and diamond mines are no exception, and he is more inclined towards energy in his development plans.

"Hahaha, I actually prefer these two minerals. Or rather, PMC companies all prefer these two minerals. Sherlock, you and Fire Defense are special."

Old Yefu laughed and joked.

But if you think about it carefully, haven't they always been so unique?

The museum business makes much more money than these two things, and the other party's involvement in the mining business seems more like a dispersion of its own strength.

Not to mention the BTR-82S with a new head, the Weasel Infantry Fighting Vehicle is also equipped with upgraded anti-tank missiles. What do those peers who only have light armored vehicles or even pickup trucks think?
Anyway, Yevgeny followed up and combined the BMP-1 with the BMP-2. It was a bit brittle, but cheap and easy to use.

There is no need to buy a BMP-3, and I heard that Xia Yu bought a second-hand BTR-80 at a low price in China, so if he wants one, he can only buy a new one.

That's not as good as the old BMP-1 and BMP-2. The two with high and low firepower are definitely enough.

As for being easily destroyed by RPG-7, that was no problem in front of the bulletproof grille. The only thing he had to worry about were those consumer-grade drones.

It was no problem to equip each mine with an armored unit, but he couldn't equip two armored units with a dedicated anti-aircraft unit.

All I can say is that we don’t feel bad about the destruction of the BMP-1 and BMP-2. At most we can give high-standard compensation to the crew members who were attacked, and help them get revenge.

As for using black people like the Fire Defense, well, they can't find or train so many high-quality local employees. The labor cost of their own people with a monthly salary of 3000 is also a bit high. It is basically a rotation after high-intensity deployment. After all, it is not as dangerous as facing the war directly.

The two people who had enjoyed drinking dispersed and returned to their respective residences to rest.

Just as Xia Yu had expected, there was no fighting tonight and the TB-2 of the National Unity Government did not drop missiles.

But when Hans and his men went out to buy back guns and ammunition and Xia Yu started looking for enriched uranium, the other party planned to take action.

"Buzz~buzz~~"

Two TB-4s carrying four MAN-L miniature air-to-ground missiles took off and flew towards Jufra province.

According to intelligence, two Il-76 transport planes will land at the target air base today, and the mission of the two TB-2s is to completely destroy them.

"Everyone, please note that our targets this time are only those two transport planes. Even if they are not there, we cannot attack the marked area on the map."

In the forward UAV ground mobile control station, a lieutenant colonel gave instructions to the crew members.

"That is where the UN and EU hired teams operate. If they are attacked, it will easily lead to international disputes."

"Yes, sir!"

Although the natives are arrogant, they are not as extreme as the Jews. They still need to pay attention to the international impact.

However, the territory of the National Unity Government was compressed to the vicinity of Tripoli, forcing them to increase their support.

The two high-flying TB-2s passed over the control vehicle and successfully entered the Jufra province.

If the combat radius is not enough, this method can be used to extend the strike range, but the ground control station is too forward and can be easily killed by the enemy. And who can blame them for having short legs for their drones?

Tripoli is more than 700 kilometers away from Jufra Province. The ground control station is located in the capital, so the plane lost contact basically not long after flying.

Satellite relay communications are really important. Forward bases like Laomei’s are basically used to operate drones, and the crew members all get off work and commute in the local area.

In this mode, it is necessary to touch the eagle sauce.

"Du~du~du~~"

At the Jufra Air Force Base, the search radar of a Tunguska air defense vehicle responded, and its innate Wing Loong II detected the enemy in one step.

This is normal. The maximum detection range of optoelectronic head and synthetic aperture radar is for ground detection, and their air detection range is not as good as the search radar of air defense weapons.

But with the radar warning, it is much easier for the drone to lock on to the target.

"Sure enough, they came here after smelling the fishy smell, but the two Il-76s had already left after unloading the cargo."

Old Yefu said as he looked at the drone's perspective broadcast on the tactical tablet.

Although the two Il-76s were Ermao's, if they were destroyed here, it would be Gna's people who would be lost, so he drove them away after unloading the cargo.

"Two planes with eight missiles? The enemy won't bring any missiles back with them. Get ready to be bombed!"

Xia Yu, who took a day off, stayed at the base to watch the show and provided some tactical guidance as a military advisor.

This is not free. They took the job from the middleman Gena and it has nothing to do with Khartaf and the National Army.

"Understood. Anti-aircraft vehicles 1 and 2 will all return to the camp. The other vehicles cannot move."

Old Yefu picked up the walkie-talkie and gave orders.

The two Tunguska tanks with upgraded radars are not cheap, and it would be a huge loss if they were destroyed by a missile worth tens of thousands of dollars, so all of them were driven into the hangar and hidden.

Those light armored vehicles, including the T-72s that were specially pulled as "target vehicles", were left outside to attract fire. This was the tactical deception with the lowest cost.

Only when your enemies follow your rhythm can you defeat them.

The two Il-76s were also baits specially set up by Xia Yu when he saw that they had not taken any action for a long time, and he really took the bait at the right time.

Sure enough, experience-based tactics like fishing never go out of style.

"We didn't find the target. Is the intelligence wrong?"

A crew member reported from inside the control vehicle.

"This? I will report this situation when I return. Now we will select high-value targets according to the regulations, and we will withdraw after we defeat them."

The lieutenant colonel gave the attack order to the crew without much hesitation.

"Yes, sir!"

"Hey~~"

The first MAN-L left the rack and flew towards a "T-72B3" that was locked by the drone's optoelectronic head.

Having made money, Old Yev also upgraded a batch of equipment. For example, they finally got the top-of-the-line model of T-72 and deployed it in Libya.

I have to say, compared to fossils, Contact-1 is garbage.

But these "T-72B3" outside were all wrapped in empty shells, but there were still a lot of expired ammunition stuffed in the car, so when the missile successfully hit the target.

"Boom~~"

Amidst the violent explosion, the turret flew high up in the smoke and flames.

Cheers immediately rang out in the control vehicle. Even if they failed to destroy the transport plane, it would be the same if they destroyed a few more tanks and armored vehicles.

The targets locked in the field of vision were eliminated one by one until the eight missiles were used up. The crew members immediately controlled the two TB-8s to turn around and flee.

At an altitude of 9000 meters, a Wing Loong II drone followed silently.

In order to maintain its endurance, it only carried two anti-tank missiles for self-defense, but thousands of miles away, at an air force base near Xiji, the second Wing Loong II took off with a full complement of missiles.

The six underwing pylons each carry four anti-tank missiles (composite pylons) and four 6-kilogram precision-guided bombs.

The nearly 600-kilogram payload obviously exceeds the standard payload of 480 kilograms stated in the manual, but what does the user's overload have to do with me, the manufacturer? I designed it for 480!
The drone flew straight towards Tripoli, and when it was halfway there, the No. 2 drone, followed by two TB-1s, had arrived at the capital's international airport, which had suspended operations.

The terminal building and runway of this airport were badly damaged, but the F-14 was able to take off from the taxiway, and the TB-2, with a maximum take-off weight of only half a ton, was also able to take off and land on the relatively intact taxiway.

So under the watchful eyes of Xia Yu and Lao Yefu, the two TB-2s that had completed landing were towed by pickup trucks to the nearest hangar.

"There are several holes in this hangar that have not been repaired. This was left intentionally."

Xia Yu said with admiration.

Unfortunately, the devil is always one step ahead of the good, and he still caught me.
