"To say that this reconnaissance and combat integrated UAV, in fact, to say a little bit, this is a UAV that can not only perform reconnaissance tasks, but also have the ability to perform ground attacks, and this will be a milestone change in the history of UAVs, which means that UAVs have begun to gradually encroach on the traditional field of manned aircraft from the low end. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Since this time we want to talk about the problem of drones, of course, we need to first say the importance of the UAV and its symbolic significance, but it is far from enough to boast about it now, if you really want to be convincing, then you still have to be able to come up with something convincing to let people see, knowing that this project is promising.

Then, it is natural to put out some unique designs of this reconnaissance and combat integrated UAV, such as dual-mission changeable wing technology, high-performance guided munitions specially prepared for ground attack: two satellite-guided bombs, a 50KG anti-armor missile that needs to be developed in the plan, and more importantly, this aircraft has a long endurance and long-range endurance like a metamorphosis.

At the beginning, when this problem was mentioned on the phone, the army thought that AVIC Southwest deliberately exaggerated the range and flight time in order to attract people's attention, but this time I really came to AVIC Southwest for a field investigation, and saw a variety of high-end technologies to ensure the range and flight time of the aircraft, which was finally completely convinced of the flight range.

The look and expression in his eyes were really like a long drought and a rain, and he drooled and said: "Can it really reach 40 hours of flight time?" With such a flight time, the army can completely make a decision! After such a powerful flight is equipped with reconnaissance equipment, the reconnaissance and perception capability of the entire ground battlefield in the future can last for more than a day at a single takeoff and landing, so as to ensure the unilateral transparency of battlefield information. This was one of the many key factors that led to the defeat of Iraq by the multinational coalition forces in the last Gulf War, and now we have the opportunity to build this combat capability through unmanned personnel, and it must not be missed. ”

Yang Hui also didn't expect that this time the army aviation really came to an expert in advanced military theory, as long as you can see the importance of long-term battlefield reconnaissance of UAVs in the 90s, let's not talk about whether this method will work for the time being, just to be able to recognize this, it can already be regarded as quite valuable in China, as for whether the UAV can maintain a long-term existence in the battlefield, this point naturally needs to be divided.

For drones, although Yang Hui also understands the huge potential of this thing, he does not blindly think that with this thing he can conquer the world, at least now he has encountered a job that drones are not capable of.

"Long-endurance UAVs can indeed ensure long-term reconnaissance and situation perception over the battlefield, but considering the maneuverability of UAVs, if the Air Force cannot guarantee air supremacy, it is impossible for UAVs to exist in the air for a long time, and even as long as the other side is equipped with a medium and short-range air defense missile, UAVs are also very likely to be cleanly destroyed."

In fact, this is the case anyway, there are indeed many benefits of being unmanned, but there are definitely a lot of problems in this, that is almost impossible to compare with the maneuverability of passenger aircraft****** the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole aircraft, if you want to achieve long-term reconnaissance under the nose of the enemy with a certain air defense capability, it is absolutely impossible.

After hearing such a statement, Lu Hang also came to his senses a little: "According to this statement, it seems that this drone can only be used when patrolling the border, or as you planned at the beginning, it can be used in small countries to suppress the anti-government that has no air defense on the ground. The government armament is also very good, and this kind of thing can indeed be easily shot down by the opponents our army faces, which is inconsistent with what you said before? ”

Of course, this contradictory statement is wrong, and when the Republic faces the surrounding countries such as the United States and Japan, its survivability is indeed quite worrisome, but to say that this UAV has no effect on the Army Aviation of the Republic is pure nonsense.

"It's different, there are many places where the domestic ground forces can use it, such as border patrol, anti-narcotics, anti-smuggling, etc., the efficiency of this drone is much higher than the use of artificial intelligence, even if most of the border armed police of the Republic are compulsory soldiers, labor costs can be very low, but after all, there are only so many people, and the ground vision is certainly not as clear as the aerial bird's eye view."

Yang Hui's so-called ground forces of the republic at this time certainly did not refer to the army, according to the tasks mentioned, it must refer to the armed police force, but the army aviation certainly does not need to consider the needs of the border armed police, in the final analysis, what the army aviation wants is to be able to attack the enemy's regular military targets with a strong attack capability, and this point requires Yang Hui to open the eyes of the army.

Reflecting again: "To say that the current Soviet Union has collapsed, the tremendous pressure we faced before from the north has been greatly eased, and the Soviet army's ground steel torrent has been scrapped in large quantities, then what is the army's current combat goal?" Is it to crack down on drug possession and Xinjiang drugs? ”

Of course, there is a certain amount of truth in this question, so it is not easy to say for a while on the side of the army aviation, but to say that the army is needed to maintain the stability of the republic, it is absolutely impossible, and under normal circumstances, this kind of work is still done by the armed police.

At this time, there is no need to wait for a confirmed reply, Yang Hui directly gave the answer: "If it is, drones can naturally play a huge role, but I believe that this is definitely not the main operational goal of the army, and the goal of the army should be to take into account more large-scale self-defense counterattacks abroad, or to maintain the unity of the country across the sea." And what is needed is to be able to ensure accurate long-range fire support in the anxious phase of the war, and at that time, the UAVs that can ensure the existence of long voyages over the battlefield are incomparable to all other support weapons. ”

The so-called anxious stage of the war, in layman's terms, is actually the problem encountered by the US military in the middle and late stages of the Iraq War, and the guerrillas were invented by the Taizu of the Republic, and the weapons that can effectively deal with the guerrillas in the future should naturally be the first to establish a set of theories for the use of the guerrillas.

At least, Yang Hui believes that in the future, whenever the Republic really needs to liberate the opposite island across the sea, there is a high probability that the United States will not directly help the other side and the Republic to be tough, but it will definitely not be less to come up with the methods used to deal with the Soviet Union in the Afghan battlefield to deal with the Republic.

As far as the mountainous environment of the island is concerned, only combat forces from the air can most effectively guarantee the effectiveness of the strike.

It was the first time I heard this kind of statement, and the army aviation had some sudden realizations that it was still possible to deal with the guerrillas in this way, and it was true that judging from the combat cost and effectiveness ratio of the integrated UAV, this was definitely the best solution to the guerrillas at present.

He also shook his head with a wry smile: "If we can have this kind of thing fifteen years in advance, why should we retreat quickly when we are fighting against Vietnam, it is really that Vietnam has already learned the essence of guerrilla warfare that we taught when it was fighting against the United States, so we ourselves did not have a good solution when we fought against Vietnam, but we did not expect to find a feasible solution from you."
