The gunboat machine is not a high-tech equipment, the Soviet Union did not build that thing because of its own strategic thinking, and the US military likes this thing because of the special environment of the Vietnam battlefield: many people don't know, in fact, the air power of the Red Empire was much more supportive of the front line than the US army, which is a tradition since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.

Helicopter gunships, attack planes, fighter-bombers, and the Soviet Union's ground-supported air power construction was far more important than that of the United States, so they really didn't need such low-grade goods as gunboats.

Besides, the Soviet Union prepared large-scale mechanized, armored cluster tactics to be used against the Western European theater.

Take a gunboat machine and go to Western Europe?

Funny, looking for death!

Since it is not high-tech, and it used to be something that the Soviet Union did not look down on, it is natural to spend some money in Russia.

You don't need a 105mm cannon, you can do it with a few 23mm Gatling guns and a 12.7mm Gatling gun, and even a 30mm cannon is not necessary in Africa, so this trip is just right.

In normal times, the special equipment installed on the gunboat is dismantled, and the aircraft can still make a cameo appearance as a transport aircraft.

With two gunboats covering on both sides, any target that dares to open fire on the Airborne Forces will be covered in a torrential rain of fire - well, nothing so far.

There were a handful of Rwandans on the ground, but they were all running for their lives or simply in a daze, and no one was shooting.

The airborne fleet is not particularly worried about Rwandan anti-aircraft missiles, and in Kigali there may be a Sam-7 or two that can't do it, but in Nyamata City, it really can't be conjured.

MANPADS are strictly controlled in all countries, and the price is even more high, and the poor people of the Hutu government army cannot afford to buy them; even if there are one or two, the defense system of the airborne formation against infrared-guided portable surface-to-air missiles is not vegetarian!

Home-made missiles, don't be too familiar.

And in the air at a higher position, several Su-30 fighters are circling in circles, which will provide air cover for at least an hour for this parachute assault.

The range is not enough, and the Il-78 tanker will soon be hovering in the airspace of Zaire not far to the west, and fighter pilots can get a good view of Rwanda from the air.

Captain Valery Serdyukov was the first paratroopers to arrive on the ground, and as soon as he landed and unfastened his parachute, he summoned his subordinates who landed nearby.

The Soviet Union once had the largest airborne troops in the world, with 15 airborne divisions at the most, and on the eve of its disintegration, there were 7 airborne divisions and 1 training division, which belonged to an independent branch of the armed forces directly under the Soviet Union.

This would have gone the Soviet Union, but the Airborne Forces would still be an independent branch of the Russian army, not an army, navy, air force, air defense force, or rocket force.

Valery Serdyukov was the captain and company commander of the Airborne Forces in the Soviet Union, and he still commanded a company, and his subordinates were all from the former Soviet Airborne Forces - the Great Disarmament, and even if the Airborne Forces were elite, they were still cut a lot.

After being introduced by a friend to join the joint forces, he had fought in Angola before, and later the company formed an airborne force that could be formed into a combat operation if necessary, and Valery immediately signed up.

Don't be too cool when you jump off the plane just now, when you caught up with the tail end of the war in Afghanistan, it was just a plane landing, and parachute landing is the basis of the airborne troops, and it is also the most blood-pumping way to participate in the war.

The subordinates arrived on the ground one after another, and the parachutes hanging in the potato fields were hastily cleaned up, this time it was a battle, and there was no need to carry the umbrella bag back, just leave it in place for the time being.

It doesn't matter if it's broken, there are a lot of parachutes in the company's warehouse.

The Airborne Forces have a small number of people, a total of 98 people, not a single one, and none of the unlucky guys broke their ankles. Luckily, this parachute landing field is not particularly ideal, as long as no one is injured.

Unlike other combat units in the company that are accustomed to wearing U.S.-style combat uniforms, Valery's unit has stubbornly wanted to get back the sea soul shirt and blue beret that they were used to since the last time they were reorganized into airborne troops.

Since they are happy to wear it this way, there are these things in the Russian and Ukrainian munitions warehouses, and it turns out that the paratroopers who are preparing to leave in the potato fields, except for the lightweight paratrooper helmets with communicators worn by some of the personnel on their heads, which are customized by the United States, most of them are Soviet goods from head to toe, including paratrooper boots.

Out of personal habit, and again in Africa, many people don't wear helmets at all, just wearing an old-fashioned, cotton-cloth bumper hat like a tanker's cotton bumper cap.

When he had time, he would shove the hat that he usually wore very warm, but it was purely messy in Africa, into the paratrooper bag behind him, and took out his favorite blue beret and put it on.

The front of the hat has the company logo, and some of the metal logos of Soviet paratroopers are pinned to the side, and the company is very lenient in this regard. In the camp next door, former Chinese paratroopers, American paratroopers, and Israeli paratroopers all have this hobby, and they wear their own ones.

The Soviet berets are a little different from the blue berets of the United Nations, and this trip is estimated to make those peacekeepers stupid!

The city of Nyamata was just three kilometers away, and there was no special battle plan, with the platoon as a unit, supported by some paratrooper fighting vehicles, which dispersed and drove there in a mighty way.

It's part of the tank, there is no way, the Ivan who parachuted with the car is all alive, that is, there are two chickens and dogs jumping - one of the BMD-2 paratrooper tanks can't start after landing, this will be repaired, so they have to stay in place with a few people who parachuted into the field.

8 tanks were thrown down, 7 worked, and it was okay!

The airborne field is very important, there is no airfield nearby, and the men of the two battalions will have to rely on airdrops to temporarily get supplies.

The company's airdrop capacity is enough, and one An-22 is enough for these thousands of people to enjoy a few days, but the airborne field cannot be less.

Before the people here entered the city, another transport plane arrived in the air and landed at a low altitude, and even a dozen off-road vehicles were thrown down.

The walking chariot that had been lying in the nest before had finally been repaired, and it sped along with the new team of off-road vehicles, and the two paratrooper chariots were the fastest.

There were no shells, not even an opponent with AKs to shoot indiscriminately, but when they were still a few hundred meters away from the small and humble buildings in the city, the paratroopers intuitively felt the special nature of this mission.

Corpses, more and more civilian corpses are appearing in fields, on roadsides, in groves!

Some were robbed and killed, and many more died from knife wounds - men, women, old, young, and even babies were brutally killed!

After seeing the corpses of a mother and son on the side of the road, Valery Serdyukov shouted loudly to his subordinates without using a walkie: "Take the squad as a unit, speed up, and run into the city!"
