To say that Kuwait's purchase of a new generation of self-propelled artillery is actually 87 years old, this idea has always been because of the obstruction of the United States to prepare to forcibly sell M109 self-propelled guns, but Kuwait does not do it, so it has been still entangled.

Until the beginning of 88 at this defense equipment exhibition, Kuwait found a favorite good thing, from the Republic booth saw this PLZ45 model self-propelled gun, although this thing is still under development, but the data on this is really eye-catching, this up to 35 kilometers range is absolutely world-class first-class.

"That's it, Kuwait needs this kind of self-propelled artillery, can you supply Kuwait with this advanced self-propelled artillery system?"

In the past few years, I have heard that there are many foreign Kaizi, as long as they are willing to seize the opportunity, they can have a harvest, and they didn't believe it at first, until now, the development unit that developed the PLZ45 artillery here has finally been convinced.

In the past, I only heard that the republic's aircraft, tanks, and even 103 rocket artillery, rifles, etc., were exported, which could earn foreign exchange for the country and allow the units to live a nourishing life for a period of time, but I did not expect that the republic's artillery would also be able to embark on this road one day.

"Of course, our PLZ45 self-propelled artillery has a longer range than the world's current mainstream level, and we also have a more complete artillery combat system.

Just one cannon can say that the era of advanced has long passed, and there is no point in not having a more perfect supporting service system in these years, and you will not see the artillery originally used by the Republic in the Vietnam War to directly fire at Vietnam. And did not show an overwhelming advantage.

When Vietnam was really pressed and beaten in the war against Vietnam, it was because the artillery of the Republic had imported advanced artillery radars from abroad. With the help of counter-battery radar, Vietnam was truly pressed and beaten in artillery operations.

And counter-battery radar is only one part of a whole artillery system. These vivid examples prove the fact that modern warfare still relies on systematic warfare.

Systematic combat is not only a large land, sea, air and space system, but also a battalion-based artillery battalion in smaller artillery units, which also needs to be supported by a complete supporting system.

This point is the conclusion reached by the PLZ45 development project team after summarizing foreign advanced artillery systems and combining with the practice of the army of the Republic itself, and for the first time the development of supporting systems has been placed in the same important position as artillery.

This is why the PLZ45 R&D project team talked about the artillery combat system after a brief introduction of the artillery itself after less than half an hour of contact with Kuwait, which made the Kuwaiti side very satisfied.

"Yes, modern artillery needs equipment developed with modern thinking. It is necessary to have an artillery unit that adopts system design and development, so let's introduce this artillery system again and see what is so good about this system. ”

If you want to introduce the advantages of the whole system, it is necessary to talk about various supporting subsystems, and among these supporting subsystems, the developers of the PLZ45 artillery system said that we have our own killer features.

"Our system will be equipped with a fire command vehicle, an artillery ballistic positioning radar vehicle, a meteorological survey radar vehicle, an engineering rescue vehicle, a forward position observation vehicle, and our most critical battlefield artillery reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle system."

Speaking of the battlefield artillery reconnaissance UAV system, this is another masterpiece of Southwest Science and Industry, and it is also the biggest highlight of the PLZ45 artillery supporting system this time. The Kuwaiti side, which was already very satisfied, was even more stunned, when did it equip the artillery battalion with drones, this is also too advanced!

"No drones! Isn't it too advanced for you to equip your artillery system with such a high technology as drones? ”

It has indeed been a few years since the appearance of artillery reconnaissance drones. But this is still the technology that has been tested by various mainstream countries, and it will not be until the Gulf War in 91 that this technology really becomes famous, and now Western countries themselves are still playing the drums about this thing. How can it be taken out and hyped up.

However, this does not prevent the PLZ45 artillery system from using this as an opportunity to promote and add a sense of science and technology to the entire artillery system. At first glance, people know that this is a good thing, and it is definitely tall.

"Of course. Because the firing range of our artillery is too long, and it may even reach a range of 40 kilometers, the traditional reconnaissance method is too slow, the reaction speed is slow, and the perception range is too small, which urgently requires us to have a more advanced reconnaissance system to support it. The distribution of UAVs to the battalion level is our choice after careful consideration, if you are interested, I can now take you to see the supporting artillery reconnaissance UAV, the research and development of this UAV Southwest Science and Industry is now also coming to participate in the defense exhibition. ”

There is no way, the current PLZ45 artillery is still under development, and nothing has been brought to the exhibition, so it is really not good to be sub-commissioned, or should be taken to see the real thing, so this fooled the Kuwaiti side to the southwest science and industry to see the drone, which can be described as scheming

Fortunately, the Kuwait side was indeed interested in this artillery reconnaissance drone, and quickly nodded that he wanted to see the drone, and then ran to the outfield of the southwest science and industry side together, and the drone displayed in the outfield of the southwest science and industry just sent away the first wave of curious audiences.

"Come on, look at this is our artillery reconnaissance drone, it can do rapid response, the entire drone is deployed from the artillery system, it only takes ten minutes to launch into the air, and within thirty minutes you can collect perfect first-hand video data, and use the rear command system to coordinate artillery strikes against the enemy."

Seeing that a group of people just came over and pointed to the UAV developed by themselves to explain to the Arabs on the side, Yang Yue, as a chief engineer of Southwest Science and Industry, has dealt with Arab countries anyway, especially Saudi Arabia's arrogance is very impressive.

Now no matter what country these Arabs belong to, as long as they are interested in the things of Southwest Science and Industry, they must be well received, seize every opportunity, and make a business in case they become a business?

Thinking of Yang Hui's usual complaints about the greed for enjoyment of the Arabs, and the spirit of not enduring hardships and standing hard work, Yang Yue had a plan, swept away the feeling of exhaustion just now, and immediately threw himself into various propaganda.

"Yes, this is the reconnaissance drone developed by our Southwest Science and Industry for the PLZ45 artillery system, which can efficiently, quickly and safely conduct reconnaissance of forward enemy positions, with which there is no longer a need for scouts, observers, servicemen who are risking great danger can sit in the driver's cab of the vehicle-mounted drone to complete all the work."

Hearing that Yang Yue simply explained the role of this drone, and specifically mentioned various advantages, the Kuwaiti side was completely moved, this is the modern weapon needed in modern warfare!

"That is to say, our soldiers sit directly in the rear command center, and can complete real-time reconnaissance through the UAV control system, and can complete the originally very difficult enemy reconnaissance with air conditioning and cold drinks?"

As he spoke, he automatically made up all kinds of pleasant scenes in his head: a Kuwaiti soldier sat in an air-conditioned drone operation vehicle, and only needed to move the joystick and look at the reconnaissance images displayed on the electronic screen, and the enemy reconnaissance was completed.

Then the data is transmitted to the command vehicle, and the command vehicle gives orders according to the situation, and then more than a dozen doors roar together, and the enemy's forward positions can be covered under fire.

"Good thing, this kind of reconnaissance drone must be had, artillery systems without drones are backward, Kuwait will definitely not want it!" (To be continued.) )
