Chapter 476: Total Defeat, Consultant Fees

A target without value is not worth wasting missiles on. This hangar, which seems to have been decommissioned due to multiple strikes, can be said to be the most suitable hiding place for TB-2.

And how many TB-76s can be operated in a hangar that can accommodate Il-747 and Boeing 2? This is a great question.

According to public documents, Turkey has so far transferred 18 drone systems, or three sets, of this type to the Government of National Unity.

Several of the Armor S1s given by A-Lian were destroyed in the early stage, but after the radar was turned on, several were killed in return, so the opponent's TB-2 may have 14 left?
"I bet ten thousand that there are at least 10 drones in here."

Xia Yu placed the bet first.

“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Will the National Unity Government put all its drones in the same hangar?”

Old Yev obviously underestimated the level of abstraction of the Libya people.

The other side has already implemented tactical deception, and it is meaningless to further disperse the deployment. For example, Xia Yu bet that the two hangars next to it that look intact are empty. They are the real fake targets, used to deceive the National Army's missiles.

"I bet there's at most 6 aircraft with one system, and the rest are in these two hangars."

He placed the same bet.

"But you are the advisor, so we'll attack this hangar if you listen to us."

Yevgeny reserved his own opinion and chose to implement Xia Yu's plan, contacting the control team thousands of miles away to attack the target hangar.

"Muneim, how many drones did we dispatch today?"

In the flight control room of the tower, looking at the small light spot on the radar, the controller on duty asked his colleague.

"Two planes, didn't they just land? What happened?"

"What about this goal?"

He pointed at the display screen and said, covered in cold sweat.

"this…"

"Boom~~"

A loud explosion was heard in the distance, announcing the start of the attack to everyone at the airport.

The TG-100 composite guided bomb weighing only 100 kilograms made a new hole in the ceiling of the target hangar and exploded. Its power was only equivalent to that of a 200-pound iron bomb, but today they were not demolishing a building, and the splashing fragments indiscriminately destroyed every TB-2 within reach in the hangar.

Unit 3 then dropped the remaining three TG-100s from the rack.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~~"

Following the combined guidance of GPS and inertial navigation, the three precision-guided bombs hit the target accurately. The shock wave of the explosion shattered all the glass in the hangar, and smoke rushed out through the gap.

If the target hangar contains a tank, the damage will be very limited unless it is accurately hit.

Unfortunately, the drone among them was the most fragile, and was taken away in one wave after this round of bomb attack.

"Anti-aircraft unit spotted, confirmed to be one of our Armor S1s."

作为支援大毛烂尾项目完工的金主，阿联鰌一共装备了50套这种防空车，看不上苏系卡玛兹的大户连平台都是用的MAN SX-45型4轴8X8底盘。

Now that you are competing with Tu'erqi, you have directly given the National Army a double-digit Armor S1. The problem is that now that you have the gold coin car, you have to turn on your radar!
If they are not in use, they will be sitting ducks. All the anti-aircraft vehicles of this type destroyed by TB-2 had their radars turned off, and the captured one was parked in the hangar and was not used at all.

If it's a base that's being defended by concentrated firepower and is attacked by surprise, even the anti-aircraft vehicles will have to keep their guns level and fire at the enemy, there's no way they can be captured.

Maybe Hartaf simply didn't understand how to use the Armor S1. This guy was captured during the battle of Zaodi, and Colonel Ka was so angry that he didn't even redeem him. His military level can be seen from this.

"Knock it off!"

Xia Yu gave the suggestion without hesitation.

This captured Armor S1 will become an obstacle to the National Army's attack in the future, so it would be worth it even if it was exchanged for a Wing Loong II.

"Hey~~"

A Blue Arrow 7 anti-tank missile on the underwing composite pylon ignited, and it rotated towards the radar following the guidance of the coded laser beam. The missile launcher flew rapidly with the corresponding Pantsir S1.

"Hey~~"

The No. 9 machine next to it also launched a missile. The effective range of the 335M20 is kilometers. If they fail to destroy the enemy, they will be the ones destroyed.

"Boom~~"

The Pantsir S1, which was about to launch a missile, was successfully hit by the Blue Arrow 7. The detonated missiles and 30mm shells indiscriminately attacked everyone in the vicinity.

The anti-aircraft vehicle worth $1500 million was hit by a single shot, and the two drones that did not intend to return with the missiles also began to look for the remaining high-value targets.

The news of the attack on Tripoli International Airport was reported as quickly as possible, and the National Unity Government and the Tuerqi people learned the sad news that the TB-2 drones were completely destroyed at the same time.

"A trap. The two Il-76s at Jufra Air Force Base were a trap to lure us in. Their drones had already taken off, waiting for us to attack, and then tracked us all the way to Tripoli, confirming the exact location of TB-2."

A major general adviser to Tuji immediately realized that they had fallen into a trap.

"Then what should we do now?"

the representative of the Government of National Unity asked hastily.

Their level is totally incapable of coping with this level of confrontation, and they have to rely on their own backers for everything.

"We have suffered too much loss this time. We cannot let them get away with it. I will report this to the higher-ups immediately."

The major general already had a tactic in mind, but he was in the army, and he could only send out the navy if ordered from above.

Encrypted radio waves exchanged information rapidly across the Mediterranean until a Ghazantipu-class frigate near Libya, or a second-hand Perry-class frigate taken over by the Turks, received the order to attack.

不过没舍得用MK-41垂发单元里价值200多万美元一发的ESSM海麻雀，船上的MK-13 Mod4型标准单臂发射器架着一枚RIM-66E-05，也就是一发换用了标准2引导头的标准1改进型导弹转向了的黎波厘国际机场的方向。

"Hey~~"

I saw the expiring air defense missile engine, which had been discontinued 20 years ago and for which Raytheon would stop providing warranty service 20 years later, ignited, left the launch pad and disappeared at the end of the field of vision.

The second and third missiles followed closely. The missiles, whose recycling price was less than 50, were quite cost-effective. The local navy was launching missiles in a manner that was almost to clear out its inventory.

The 10-second launch interval is still too slow compared to the vertical launch unit. No wonder the single-arm launcher was eliminated. After firing four RIM-4E-66s in a row, the two Wing Loong IIs on the other side had just cleared their racks.

"Planet No. 2 increases its altitude and heads southeast!"

Xia Yu gave suggestions for the next step.

The No. 1 aircraft, which only carries two missiles, goes first and has a greater chance of survival. Then the No. 2 aircraft, which runs separately, needs to do is to attract enemy firepower.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

In the images sent back by the photoelectric camera, several portable anti-aircraft missiles were launched from the ground and attacked the direction of Unit 2.

It was an air defense shooter, but unfortunately the shooting height was not high enough and none of them hit the target. However, under the continuous tracking and guidance of the radar, the first Standard 3.5 improved air defense missile accelerated to Mach 1 and successfully engaged the target after flying nearly 40 kilometers.

"Boom~~"

Amid the imagined explosion sound, the image from Unit 2's perspective on the tablet instantly disappeared.

"I didn't notice it at all. It was an anti-aircraft missile launched by a warship. It looks like I won this time."

Xia Yu said to Old Yefu with a smile.

If only three or four TB-2s were destroyed, Turkey would never be able to break through the defense and use ship-to-air missiles to get back at the enemy. There must be more than ten drones in the target hangar.

"Yes, you won, but the biggest winner this time is Hartaf. He won't have to worry about being bombed by TB-2 for the next six months."

Yevgeny also nodded in defeat.

More than a dozen drones were destroyed at once, but it was fortunate that the Tuerqi people could produce them themselves. Their domestic economy is inflating every day, and their health bar is not as thick as Alianyu's.

Of course, they also have Kathar as their wet nurse.

Just exchanging dollars for drones will take time, and the local industry level cannot produce much production capacity.

The National Army will be able to maintain an advantage in the sky above Libya for at least half a year. Only when more TB-2s are in place can the two sides engage in a new round of confrontation.

"The No. 100 aircraft has flown nearly 1 kilometers away. Neither the ESSM Enhanced Sea Sparrow nor the Standard Improved Model can reach it. The National Army only lost one Wing Loong II this time."

After confirming the safety of the other drone, Xia Yu said in agreement.

Since he was the consultant, he must have a complete understanding of the other side's armaments. The local navy's assets were all bought from others, and their air defense equipment was all American short-range missiles.

As long as the vertical launch pit is filled with Aster 30, neither of the two drones can escape.

But to be honest, that thing is indeed a bit expensive, and some people may not be able to afford it. The reason why they are so deeply involved in Libya is just for the oil and gas resources in Tubeifei!
"Let's go to Benghazi and ask the old man for his reward. It would be unreasonable for him not to show some appreciation this time."

Old Yefu stood up and said.

For private military contractors, profit is the most important thing.

Even though Gna's situation is a little special and domestic business takes priority over profits, the Ministry of Defense cannot owe them salaries.

As for the outside business, everything is based on profit. Since Khartaf had no money to give them, Yevgeny dared to take people to Benghazi to demand their wages.

Like this time, it destroyed almost all the TB-2 drones of the National Unity Government, and also shot down a Pantsir S1, a Turkish version of the Avenger air defense system (a vehicle-mounted version of the eight-barrel Stinger), and two Shilka air defense vehicles.

It would be totally unacceptable for Hartaf not to give 50 or 60 million US dollars.

Seventy percent of this was Xia Yu's consulting fee, and Old Yefu, as the middleman and assistant, took the remaining 30%.

The boss of the Fire Defense Department made more than 40 million dollars by himself without making any moves.

However, Xia Yu said that he didn't like money, and it would be fine if 70% of his money was converted into cash.

For example, the Il-76 and Il-78, these scrap metals at the Jufra Air Force Base are not worth a penny, the good stuff is hidden in Benghazi!

"Go ahead, take my plane."

Xia Yu invited.

In other words, with the development to its current size, military transport aircraft is nothing, he only flies his own private plane. In chaotic areas like Libya, he needs at least one F-16 to escort him.

There is no other reason, just the fear of being shot down by a medium-range or short-range air defense missile. The North Philippine equipment has too high a confrontation strength.

It is not as popular as Syria internationally, but the financial backers behind both factions are really willing to spend.

Like this time, the National Unity Government suffered a setback, and the vehicle-mounted version of the Stinger was useless. It must definitely strengthen its air defense in the future.

With the dual 35mm anti-aircraft guns, it is not impossible to bring in the Hawk 3. This improved version of the old Cold War missile can also fire at a range of 45 kilometers, which is definitely enough to deal with reconnaissance and strike drones.

Therefore, the next six months will be the best offensive window for Wing Loong II. After this period, the equipment loss rate will increase significantly.

"Om~~"

The Fisher took off with the two men, and the Horseshoe Bat who came from Tripoli was flying a single-seat red Fighting Falcon with two LD-10 anti-radiation missiles mounted on the underwing pylons flying with them on their left side.

Old Yefu, who saw this scene from the porthole, was very moved. He said that he would also equip the MiG-29 with two KH-31P engines in the future. The sky over the northern Philippines is really too dangerous.

After arriving in Benghazi, Hartaf's convoy personally picked up the two at the airport.

The old man who was born before the end of World War II is 75 years old this year. Colonel Ka, who is only one year older than him, should just be in the first grade, unlike him who is still working hard to start a business.

But what can I say? The guy next door is also an old man fighting, and Big Mao’s 20-year agreement is almost up. It is not uncommon for politicians to age nowadays, so just delay their retirement!

However, compared with Gaddafi, Khaltaf's ability is still a little inferior. Just as Yevgeny said, the two factions will basically decide the outcome in their lifetime.

Without the colonel to unite so many tribes and distribute the oil and gas profits relatively reasonably, the local people might only have two choices: herding sheep and growing wheat.

oil?

Please pack up and get the hell out of my oil field.

The reality is so cruel. Lao Ha can't become a colonel, and Libya can't go back to the past.

"Mr. Sherlock, this is our first meeting, right? Although I've heard about you from time to time, I never expected you to be so young."

The old man with glasses and a mustache came up and shook Xia Yu's hands, his voice filled with excitement and surprise.

The drone that was not hit by the missile has returned. They can be said to have won a great victory this time, and the biggest contributor is the boss of Jihuo Defense.

They had previously helped the National Army to clear itself of any involvement in uranium enrichment, and this time they used drones to counter drones, fighting a beautiful battle.

Unfortunately, the other party did not accept his employment and had previously refused to sell them weapons.

Hiring is definitely not an option, but selling weapons is!

Xia Yu found that these people were all stubborn. If they sold it directly, it would be a slap in the face of the United Nations. They didn't understand what flexibility meant at all.

Whatever you want, ask a sponsor who is not afraid of trouble to buy it for you!

Xia Yu had no connections with A Lianyu before, and was just an acquaintance of Ha Xiaodeng. He would visit and entertain you when he passed by. Later, he became friends with Ha Zhongdeng, and only then did he have connections with the military.

Apart from anything else, it is no problem to transfer three or five Leclerc tanks. The only problem with the Pantsir S1 is that it is too expensive and its dual 30mm anti-aircraft guns are too weak, otherwise you could get one or two.

With such a relationship, if they want to wholesale second-hand equipment from Xia Yu, there is no reason for him to refuse!
But since the other party was "selling" it for the third time, he couldn't do anything about it.

Xia Yu's visit this time also meant to wake up the other party. The pattern needs to be opened up. In the future, maybe the shells can be rented from a third party! Not to mention these equipment.
