A Mercenary’s War

Breaking through the air seems to be very simple, but how do you say, such a thing as modern warfare, it really does not mean that you are invincible, and everyone is equal before the bullet.

Although the Northwest Wind Air Defense Missile is also known as a portable missile, how to say, this is not a simple missile, but it can form a unit of an air defense system.

The Army-type Northwest Wind missile has three modes, two in a group, with a tripod used as a portable air defense system. It is also a Northwest Wind air defense missile. It is mounted on a vehicle and equipped with a search radar. It can be many kilometers away. If you find an air target, you can not only hit a plane, but also cruise missiles. There is also a ground-to-air defense type. If you have a large radar, you can search for a longer distance. If you want to use a small radar, you can search for a shorter distance. It was impossible to rush past the missile position.

The portable northwest wind can find and attack a target of six kilometers at the farthest. Using search radar, it can find high-altitude targets tens of kilometers away, low-altitude targets ten kilometers away, and ultra-low-altitude targets five kilometers away. For example, for a flying object with a height of 15 meters, and then search for the radar, after finding it, just wait for the flying object to hit within the range of the missile.

In order to support the Syrian rebels, France also counted the blood, and the cheapest portable system also cost more than one hundred thousand dollars. But the deadly thing is that France provides not only portable systems for free, but also two sets of vehicle air defenses. The missile system, and these two sets are all in Aleppo.

How much does it cost to have a vehicle-mounted air defense system such as a search radar and a laser rangefinder? The cost of conscience, a set of eight million US dollars, no counter-offer. This is the internal purchase price of the French army.

The news that Gao Yang got was reliable and could no longer be trusted. The missile that made him dare not sit on the plane was Polovic ’s former helper who resold it to the rebels who surrounded the Aleppo prison.

So it ’s not about being timid, but under the conditions of modern warfare, you have to believe in science. In awe of science, France is also one of the world ’s top five people. The Northwest Wind missile system is also the main weapon for people ’s light air defense. It is not a joke.

Also, the northwest missile system. However, the current sales champion of portable anti-aircraft missiles in the world has defeated the sales champions of famous brands such as American Stinger, British Starlight, and Russian needle.

If it were not a taboo against rebel air defense missiles, Gao Yang ran away early.

Of course. The northwest wind missile is not unsolvable. If it can fly at a low altitude, the infrared seeker of the missile cannot catch and lock, and it can also break through the air defense network of the northwest wind missile. But the problem is that this ultra low altitude is really ultra low altitude. The minimum height of northwest wind is fifteen meters, to ensure safety. It must be under fifteen meters.

What is the concept of fifteen meters?

Below 100 meters is the ultra-low altitude, reducing the height to below 15 meters. It really flew close to the ground, so to speak, an inattentive, pole can also poke the helicopter off.

The height of the ground is not fixed, there are buildings, there are mountains and hills, and there are iron towers, wires and flagpoles.

Ultra low altitude flight. Below fifteen meters, it is not so easy during the day. You can watch a movie or a TV. There are not many pictures of helicopters flying at very low altitude, and they may be very low when taking off and landing, but after flying, there are places that fly close to the ground. Unless there is a simple terrain such as the water surface or grassland, there are a few Films that fly below fifteen meters in height are not dared to do so.

Why is the American longbow Apache gunship powerful? Because a millimeter-wave radar named longbow is installed on the top of the aircraft, it can search and attack hidden targets at the height of the treetop. The search distance is far, and it can conduct ultra-low-altitude penetration at the height of the treetop. When it was found, the longbow Apache appeared.

The United States is the world's number one military power. What the United States can do, Russia may not be able to do it, Syria cannot do it, and what the longbow Apache can do, Mi-24 cannot.

Longbow Apache can fly and fight at night. The old version of Syria, Mi-24, is far from enough. It can perform transition flight at night, but it is almost the same as dreaming if you want to fight. Without a night vision system and a good radar, it is like a blind man. How to fight.

Gao Yang bought night vision equipment and modified two Mi-24s, which is very important, because after the modification, Mi-24 has preliminary night combat capabilities, but want to carry out ultra-low-level flight at night, the limited modification of Mi-24 It's hard to make it difficult.

The Apache helicopter has a terrain following system, a terrain following radar, and Mi-24 has nothing ...

What is terrain following radar? Terrain following radar automatically detects terrain changes and then automatically informs the pilot. For example, when flying and flying, a tree suddenly hits the helicopter, the terrain following system will notify the pilot, and then the pilot will escape. That's it.

There is only one night vision device available for the Mi-24, which can be used by Gaoyang, and it has limited help.

Infrared night vision, the field of view itself cannot be too large, and when flying at low altitude, because of the height, the airborne night vision can only see a small angle directly in front, and then present the image in a On a very small screen, even if there are obstacles, whether it can be found on the screen in time is a problem. It is better to use a helmet-type night vision device to stare at the screen to control the aircraft.

The helmet-type night vision device is not like the daytime when it is put on. First of all, the distance is limited, and finally it is the electronic re-imaging device. But the pilot can fly at a very low altitude and high speed. With a helmet-type night vision device, he can see that there is a pole 100 meters away. How long can the pilot spend from finding to maneuvering the aircraft to hide?

Calculated at a flight speed of 100 kilometers per hour, the speed of 100 kilometers per hour is 28 meters per second. From discovery to avoiding, the pilot has only a little more than three seconds, and the pilot As you can see, everything is passing by very fast. It is difficult to tell if you can find the pole in time, so how difficult is it. One can imagine how dangerous it is.

The danger of ultra-low altitude flight at night is no less than flying out at high altitude in the daytime under the threat of the northwest air defense system.

To improve safety, the Mi-24 must be the most outstanding pilot. Ordinary people, he dare not fly this way. And they must be two very good pilots. The weapon operator is staring at the screen of the onboard night vision device. If there is a danger, quickly remind that the pilot wears a helmet night vision device and flies visually at night. These two people must The cooperation is especially tacit. Only then is it possible to complete the task.

Of course, do enough homework before flying, such as flying from a familiar channel, flying over the enemy's head with the shortest distance, knowing the obstacles on the flight path. Can also reduce some dangers.

Now, the four pilots that Polovic has found have arrived in Damascus, and Gao Yang has just received the notice, but they must study at least two or three days of aeronautical charts, plan the safest flight route, and hold it Remember to pick them up in your heart.

The pre-flight preparations can only be done by the pilots themselves, and Gao Yang will certainly not be able to help. However, Aleppo Airport has sent two pilots familiar with the situation to Damascus Airport in order to help Polovic's Russian pilots develop flight routes.

For an unremarkable evacuation work, the manpower and material resources consumed are really a lot. The insider looks at the doorway, the layman looks at the lively, the unfamiliar person looks at it is the helicopter flying over, and picking up the person is finished, and the person who understands the difficulty among them knows how difficult this seemingly simple flight is. How powerful is the pilot.

Gao Yang didn't understand very much, so he barely knew it. If you did not learn to fly, you did not learn to use helicopters for ultra-low-altitude raids in Israel. Knowing that, knowing the difficulty, he also thought that the helicopter evacuation was just flying over.

The older the rivers and lakes, the smaller the courage, and the ignorant are fearless. They all said the same thing. I do n’t know how powerful, maybe Gao Yang ordered the helicopter to pick him up early, because he knew the power of it, and Gao Yang was anxious. Only after he could not see the hope of leaving, he made a decision to forcibly break through under the condition that the risk was acceptable.

The closer to the day of leaving, the more complicated Gao Yang's mood is, and he looks forward to leaving, and is worried about being shot down in mid-air, but in general, he is still happy, because he can leave immediately after all.

There are too many things for Gao Yang to wait for him to do, but Gao Yang has decided that after leaving Aleppo prison, he has to do three big things first. The first thing is to eat. pause.

The second thing is to eat another special meal.

The third big thing is to eat another special meal.

For more than a month and a half, Gao Yang really had n’t eaten a full meal. He did n’t have any meal. He had nothing but two slap cakes every day. The fresh meat delivered to the prison was a meal. After eating, he gnawed the noodles for more than a month, during which he dropped a can of meat. Ten of their Satans ate two cans of meat, and they were as happy as the New Year.

The three years of living as a savages in Africa ~ www.readwn.com ~ Gao Yang has not been so painful, although it is also a hungry meal and a full meal, but it is always when I am full, which is like this half moonlight to eat noodles The day of the cake was starving, so the only big thing that Gao Yang had set for himself was to eat. When he was out of jail, he went to eat.

The day has been set. During the day of February 7, two Mi-24s will take off from Damascus to reach Aleppo, and then after overhauling and refueling at Aleppo Airport to adjust everything to the best condition, on the morning of February 8th At this point, the helicopter will land in the Aleppo prison, pick them up and leave.

Today is February 6. (To be continued)

ps: I went to the hospital today and looked at my legs. I was too tired, so I wrote this chapter too late and apologized first.

Also, explain why I wrote this content in this chapter, but I did n’t plan to write it. However, some friends asked me why I did n’t need a helicopter to go directly to the prison to pick up people. I think there are a lot of friends who are not military fans. The point is, there may be the same question, so just write it, so that everyone knows what is going on.

In the end, the ruyi in the group is me, um, verify it.
