Chapter 569: Mercenaries Are So Tyrants?
Hellfire, one of the most outstanding anti-tank missiles.
Its correct designation is the "AG114" anti-tank missile.
It is an anti-tank missile developed by the American company Rockwell International for the US Army. It is a missile that can be launched from the sea, land and air to attack armored mobile targets at sea or on land, and there are a variety of improved models in service. It has the advantages of long emission distance, high precision and high power, and adopts laser guidance, strong anti-interference ability, and does not need target irradiation support.
At present, the Hellfire missile has been developed to the second generation. It is the main anti-tank missile of the US military.
As long as anti-tank missiles are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely the Hellfire.
It is claimed to be a tank that cannot be destroyed without Hellfire.
So far, more than 20,000 pieces have been produced. Demand is still in short supply.
If there is any downside to it, it may be that the price is too high.
The price of a single piece is as high as $65,000.
Subsequent models cost more than $100,000.
The Apache helicopter that appeared earlier could carry up to 16 Hellfire missiles.
In other words, a single Apache helicopter is capable of posing a lethal threat to 16 modern main battle tanks. Including the US imperialists' own Abrams main battle tanks.
If it is a squadron of Apache helicopters, it will basically be able to contain a tank regiment.
In fact, it is often possible to contain hundreds of tanks in real combat.
Of course, it is impossible for the Hellfire missile to hit the small spirit dragon helicopter.
However, it can set off sandstorms all over the sky.
The Earthflame missile hit a very high sand dune.
The dunes were almost overturned. The rising sandstorms are almost 100 meters high. The momentum is terrifying.
Compared to the large number of rockets, the Hellfire missile is much more powerful.
Ordinary tanks, if they are hit, 99 will be reimbursed on the spot.
It is estimated that only the Apocalypse tank will be able to block it head-on.
"Chief Engineer Wang, are you okay?" Bai Kainan heard the explosion.
"It's fine. Wang Buan said casually, "I'm watching a movie! War movies are very popular!"
"Oh. Then I won't bother. ”
"Okay. ”
Bai Kainan hurriedly hung up the phone.
He reflexively thought that Wang Buan was picking up girls again.
Calling Wang Bu'an at this time is really a big mess. Hurry up. I hope it doesn't add to the chaos.
The little spirit dragon helicopter passed directly through the sandstorm and continued to run wildly.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, two more Hellfire missiles were launched.
This time, it was not launched from above the tiltrotors. Rather, from the Predator drone.
Wang Buan's expression did not move.
The addition of Predator drones is inevitable.
This prestigious drone, combined with the Hellfire missile, is currently the most popular configuration.
Originally, the Hellfire missile was designed primarily to deal with large-scale armor clusters. To put it bluntly, it is actually to deal with the torrent of rolling steel of the Soviet Red Empire.
You know, the Soviet Union had 50,000 tanks. The numbers alone make people shudder.
Later, the Soviet Union collapsed, the Cold War ended, and the torrent of steel disappeared.
The Hellfire missile fell silent for a while. He thought that his historical mission had come to an end.
Who knows, in 2002, using the Predator drone, carrying the Hellfire missile, successfully eliminated an important target.
Since then, the Hellfire missile has ushered in its second spring - that is, it cooperates with drones.
This is known as targeted killing. No troops are required.
All you need is a drone, a Hellfire missile.
Then there's the long-range control.
The number of Predator drones can be significant.
The number of Hellfire missiles can also be significant.
Can be attacked alone.
Cluster attacks are possible.
The maximum attack range even exceeded 7000 km.
You know, the radius of activity of the Predator UAV has reached an astonishing 3700 km. The maximum flight speed is 240 kilometers per hour. The maximum battery life is 60 hours.
It can carry two Hellfire missiles. The positioning accuracy of the target can reach 0.25 meters. The performance is very advanced.
If there is any downside to this thing, it is that it is too expensive.
A Predator drone costs $20 million.
A lot of fighter jets don't need $20 million!
Such a terrifying price is indeed something that only the wealthy can afford.
Wang Bu'an squinted to the left.
Good fellows, there are six Predators.
Squint and look to the right.
Good fellows, too, six predators.
Don't look at the back.
There must be more to come.
"Mercenaries also?"
"Is there such a tyrant mercenary?"
Wang Buan sneered disdainfully.
It is impossible for a professional mercenary team to be equipped with so many Predator drones.
Unless there is a huge financier behind it.
These predator drones are swarming like locusts.
Three times five divided by two, they surrounded Wang Buan.
Surrounded and chased and intercepted, and copied the ......
Very good tactics.
It's a pity......
Wang Bu'an will not be restrained.
The autopilot system from the planet Cybertron will never be tied down.
Suddenly, it tumbled violently and flew firmly against the ground.
The landing gear of the helicopter, inserted directly into the desert surface.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
Countless grains of sand were blown up.
At just the right angle, the sand that flew up just covered the Predator drone behind.
The Predator drones couldn't dodge and crashed headlong into the sand.
In less than thirty seconds, the situation changed abruptly.
A Predator drone lost control and fell heavily.
But it was its engine that was severely eroded by the sand and could no longer function and could only crash.
