Chapter 748: "Starer" Unmanned Helicopter
It is no wonder that Professor Ali Khan expressed such emotion, it is really that the series of counterattacks that have just ended are too unexpected for him, especially the "Starer" unmanned helicopter that he is focusing on, which can be called the key to Pakistan's surprise victory this time.
Speaking of the "Gazer" unmanned helicopter, it has to be said that the introduction of a series of equipment and transport aircraft from Tengfei Group in the past, when more than 3 billion US dollars of super large orders were signed and landed, both parties were very satisfied, so there was a mutual gift link, in order to show the attitude of sincere cooperation between the two sides.
On the Pakistani side, represented by Rahman, he presented 100 sets of handmade Persian carpets and 200 kilograms of saffron to the Chinese side.
On the Chinese side, Zhuang Jianye, as a representative, presented a set of "Starer" unmanned helicopter system to the Pakistani side.
The entire system consists of a ground command station, an international communications satellite system, and two "gazer" unmanned helicopters.
The Pakistani side that accepted the gift did not think about this unmanned helicopter system at first, after all, compared with traditional high-altitude drones or reconnaissance drones, the flight speed of the "Starer" unmanned helicopter is slow, and the endurance and cruising radius are not prominent.
In addition, Zhuang Jianye emphasized at that time that this "gazer" unmanned helicopter system is an unmanned platform for climate and terrain detection built by Tengfei Group, which is limited to investigating and monitoring climate change, wind speed, gravity indicators, air density and terrain and landform in a certain area, and can form a real-time data signal to be transmitted to the ground command station in the rear for scientific research personnel.
A proper set of purely civilian equipment!
If it weren't for the Tengfei Group as a gift, Pakistan probably wouldn't even look at it, there are more equipment to study climate change, and Pakistan has a lot of similar equipment in the hands of Buji, and there is really no shortage of "gazer" unmanned helicopters.
But as the saying goes, don't be in vain, anyway, it's a free gift, and it's not for nothing in the chicken ribs, so as soon as the Pakistani military returned to China, it handed over the "Starer" unmanned helicopter system to the Meteorological Research Center under the Pakistani military, and it shined in the Pakistani army as a special meteorological detection equipment.
The Starter unmanned helicopter system was expected to die alone at the Pakistani military's meteorological research center, but it all came in a striking reversal during a military exercise held by the Pakistani military in June.
The reason is that a "gazer" unmanned helicopter that provides meteorological data detection for the blue side has accidentally flown to the assembly area of the red side due to an operation error, and that's it, the key is that the red side, equipped with advanced radar and air defense equipment, did not find it.
The reason is very simple, the "Starer" unmanned helicopter flies at a low altitude, coupled with the unmanned system, and the whole aircraft is extremely small, and it is easy to use the advantage of low altitude to penetrate through the enemy's radar blind spot.
Therefore, the "Starer" unmanned helicopter, which was supposed to detect meteorological data and provide meteorological support for the blue air force, used the photoelectric probe on board to see the situation of the red side's troop build-up clearly.
The news was reported to the commander of the blue army, which aroused the interest of the commander of the blue army and the Pakistani General Staff, who served as the chief director, and all the bigwigs immediately gathered at the ground control station of the "Starer" unmanned helicopter system of the Pakistani Army Meteorological Research Center.
This is a terrible sight, only to see the real-time picture on the operation screen that looks like a fixed position hanging in the red assembly position, and all the Pakistani military bigwigs are stunned.
They have not seen the return image of the drone, although the supplier will claim that the reconnaissance screen of their drone is stationary relative to the target, which can provide users with accurate and clear target interpretation.
However, due to its own characteristics, how can the fixed-wing aircraft be completely stationary, it is nothing more than hovering in a small radius over the target, and the photoelectric probe carried will be constantly fine-tuned to point to the target.
This process can be automatic, but more is the manual operation of the ground control personnel, no way, the 80s and 90s PTZ technology is not very advanced, automatic is time-saving and labor-saving but there is a high probability of losing the target, so you have to rely on manual locking of the target.
Because of this, fixed-wing UAVs, although the targets for reconnaissance are valuable, cannot be refined.
The most important function of the helicopter is to hover, which is like fixing a pair of eyes on the top of the enemy's head, steadily, steadily, and silently watching every move of the enemy below, with a complete God's perspective.
In addition, thanks to the helicopter's low-altitude flexibility, the "Gazer" unmanned helicopter can hide in the woods, mountains, and high-rise buildings, plus the clever use of radar blind spots, thereby reducing the probability of detection and greatly increasing the survivability on the battlefield.
However, the "Starer" unmanned helicopter only has this ability, which will not make a group of Pakistani military bigwigs so hot, and what makes them most irresistible is the meteorological and terrain data next to the real-time monitoring screen.
Air pressure, gravity, wind speed, angle of attack, air density, terrain undulations, observation height, relative distance from ground station......
In the eyes of meteorologists, a series of data is really the parameters of meteorological changes, but are the key indicators in it simple meteorological data in the eyes of these Pakistani military bigwigs who have actual combat experience, especially those who have ground command and combat experience?
Is the proper artillery firing parameters good.
Moreover, these data do not even need to be solved later, they can be directly converted into aiming parameters by handing them over to the artillery, and they can be loaded with shells to make a fire attack on enemy targets.
This is not counting, after striking the target, the "Starer" unmanned helicopter can continue to stay over the target for damage assessment, where to give up, where to make up the knife, the "Starer" unmanned helicopter from God's perspective can see it clearly.
Realizing this, the General Staff of the Pakistani military immediately ordered the artillery of the Blue Army to cover the Red Army with artillery fire in accordance with the parameters provided by the "Starer" unmanned helicopter, and the results were unexpectedly good after several rounds.
When the "Gazer" unmanned helicopter returns, the military bigwigs and experts will look at the "Gazer" unmanned helicopter at close range, and their eyes will be different.
As a result, the Pakistani military bigwigs gave an order, and the "Gazer" unmanned helicopter system, which was given to the Pakistani military as a gift by the Tengfei Group for scientific research, was immediately transferred from the Meteorological Research Center to the reconnaissance operations office under the Pakistani General Staff, thus being transferred from civilian to military and becoming an official military unmanned helicopter.
