And this is only one of the many unique skills of the Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade, if all these unique skills are taken out, the combat effectiveness of the Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade is no less than that of a core elite regiment under the A Army.

Of course, it costs a lot of money to build such a force, not to mention the others, the unit price of the Gridpad tablet imported from the United States in the hands of staff officer Xiaoman alone is as high as 4,800 US dollars.

The entire Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade is equipped with a total of 120 units, and the expenditure on this alone has reached 576,000 US dollars, which is millions when converted into RMB.

In addition, there is a series of advanced electronic equipment and reconnaissance equipment, and any one of them is worth millions or tens of millions of yuan.

Of course, this is a small amount of money for the Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade, the real big head is still on the 28 helicopters, in addition to some ordinary helicopters used for transportation, the Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade is also equipped with several special helicopters specially developed by the Tengfei Group, the performance is not to say, but the price of each special helicopter is also very touching.

It is common for tens of millions of yuan to be hundreds of millions at every turn.

In addition, the special forces brigade of the army aviation unit has a much higher treatment of officers and men than other units, and the army aviation unit has invested nearly 3 billion yuan in this battalion-sized unit alone.

This figure is equivalent to almost 38.4 percent of the total annual expenses of the army aviation unit, which is far from being affordable by the army aviation alone, but fortunately, the headquarters has provided a special budget, so it is barely possible to build this special force called special forces, but in fact it is an air assault force.

But that's about it.

If we want to form an air assault force of actual scale in accordance with the structure of the US 101 Air Assault Division, the headquarters is also more than willing but not enough, not to mention, even if it is formed, how to use strategy and tactics, how to build firepower allocation, and more importantly, how to make such a new combat unit completely embedded in the current domestic combat system, and how to give full play to its maximum combat effectiveness.

Not to mention the headquarters, it is the first time that it has been put in the whole army.

It is precisely for this reason that the special forces brigade of the army aviation unit that the General Headquarters has made great efforts to set up is not so much a bold attempt to further promote military reform as it is not so much to try some ways and means to enhance its combat effectiveness due to the influence of major events.

If this were not the case, there would not be a need to spend so many resources on a battalion-level unit, and the fundamental reason is that the General Headquarters believes that this new type of air assault unit represents the direction of the Army's future development, and even if it is unable to form a larger-scale combat unit now, it does not mean that it will not be capable in the future.

What should we do when the time comes, when conditions permit in all respects, and when we are preparing to form a unit, we suddenly find that we have no experience in all aspects? Therefore, before that, we must have a certain foresight and use one or two smaller units to explore new tactics and cultivate new methods, so as to play the role of seed troops.

It's like the Navy using the D-50 gas turbine to retrofit Type 037 ships.

In order to improve the performance of equipment, it is one thing, but more importantly, it is important to train the officers and men of the navy to be familiar with the use, maintenance and combat methods of gas turbine ships.

After all, weapons and equipment for future wars are an important guarantee for determining victory or defeat, but the key to the core is still people, if people can't do it, even if they are armed to the teeth, they will not be able to use anything in the end, they can only pick and run away, even if the weapons and equipment have surpassed the Zenith, it is nothing.

Of course, the people of insight in the headquarters understand these things, the leaders of the army aviation unit know it, and Jiang Liang and other participants know it well, but it does not mean that all the people in the army know this truth.

Because of this, when they heard that the army aviation unit had formed its own combat unit, some military cadres with the idea of heavy assault were very incomprehensible to this.

Do you think that the helicopters of the Army Aviation are helping to transport troops, and when the enemy is under heavy fire, it is enough to send a few armed helicopters to knock out the local tank armored detachments, or to strengthen the firepower points, and the impact, flat push and crush of the heavy troops that rely on them are completely pediatric, what combat troops are necessary?

Isn't this an obvious repetition of construction?

With that money, it is better to save more tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery for the army's heavy troops, even if not for the army, but for the air force and navy.

Forming a combat detachment for the army aviation that is no more than a reinforced company is a good thing to say is wasteful, but in fact it is nonsense, foolishness, and treating precious military expenses as child's play.

There are many people who think about this kind of thing, and it can be summed up in one sentence, Lu Hang is an auxiliary, and now he wants to play the main attack, it is not a question of whether it will work, but there is no need for it.

After all, the army accounts for the majority of the troops, and there are so many combat units with a long history and glorious war history, so why can't they be in charge alone, so why should they be special for the army and aviation?

As for the performance of the US 101st Air Assault Division in the Gulf War, these people have the same sharp viewpoint, that is, the Americans can only afford to play with strong national strength and sufficient military spending.

In addition to the Americans, look at the rest of the world, who dares to do this?

Envy is envy, but we must also be down-to-earth, carefully arrange according to our own national conditions, we can't come up with any new tricks from the United States, we will follow them, the Americans have more than 10 aircraft carriers, can China afford to keep up?

So be realistic!

Fortunately, the head of the headquarters resisted the pressure and strongly advocated the formation of an experimental air assault unit, which led to the birth of the Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade, otherwise only God knows when this new type of force, which represents the direction of future development, will appear.

But because of this, including Jiang Liang, the Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade held their breath, since most of them were not optimistic about them, then they showed their real skills to let those people see if it was those heavily armored iron armor who were invincible, or their flying army was superior.

Therefore, Jiang Liang's arrogant statement at the summary meeting of the military competition some time ago was not without a purpose, but it was necessary to let the whole army take a look at it, and the special forces brigade of the Army Air Force, which had initially formed combat capability, had the confidence to promise any enemy.

Sure enough, Jiang Liang's statement immediately caused an uproar in the army, and many elite veteran units with old qualifications and strong combat effectiveness shouted that they wanted to fight the special forces brigade of the army aviation force.

In addition, the headquarters and other military leaders want to see whether this unit formed in the midst of the controversy is a good character, whether it should be retained, or whether it is too far from expected and has to be dismantled.

As far as the troops are concerned, the best test is to pull a real knife and gun on the battlefield, followed by the exercise ground, and face to face the gong and drum battle.

There is a peaceful development in the country, there is really no war, it is a mule or a horse, and it can only be a good walk on the exercise ground!
