Chapter 66 Arms Orders

After the sparring between tactical aircraft. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The Info Phoenix Nest UAV Brigade also used as many as 10,000 UAVs to demonstrate the way of drone combat to the vice admiral of East Germany.

Lieutenant General Theodor Hoffman had the privilege of visiting the operational command room of the Phoenix Nest UAV Brigade.

Seeing that the whole process was a soldier sitting in the CIC command post, and the drone swarm unit was commanded by remote control to destroy one target after another, and the human soldier was in non-contact combat with the target.

This undoubtedly shocked Lieutenant General Theodor Hoffmann!

If he remotely controls a few drones, he will not be shocked. However, the overwhelming momentum made him feel a huge curiosity about the new weapons.

"Drone warfare belongs to a revolution in the mode of war, and the biggest feature is that there are no ordinary cannon fodder soldiers, and all members are commanders." Li Feng said, "Human life is very precious, take East Germany as an example, the per capita annual GDP of 10,000 US dollars, can be worth 2 drones. The average worker can create a fortune of $350,000 after 35 years of work. This wealth can be exchanged for about 70 drones. If 70 drones can achieve the same results as cannon fodder soldiers, it will be a good business! ā€

"The second is scale, our drones win by scale. Now 10,000 drones is just the beginning, and in the future, we should fight against beta, it should be 100,000 or a million drones, which is also a very normal war of attrition. The number of betas is huge, and if we consume them with precious lives, we lose strategically. Therefore, as much as possible, this kind of machine, non-contact warfare, is forced to consume human life. ā€

"The UAV command system is very advanced, integrating reconnaissance and combat. It can be said that the battlefield situation detected by UAVs is far more accurate and timely than that monitored by satellites! ā€

"Therefore, the battlefield map of the UAV can not only be used as a reference for UAV operations, but also for reference when other troops conduct joint operations."

"Drones hunt the Ray class - the principle is numerical superiority, due to the fact that there are no flying units in the beta for the time being. Therefore, no matter how many betas there are on the ground, they will not be able to hit drones. Therefore, the drone ignores the beta threat on the ground and only cares about the light-level threat. However, it is necessary to be within a few hundred meters of the light level to be exposed to the threat of light level. The light level has a 12 second cooldown, and if there are 100 light levels in a cluster, they can only shoot 100 lasers in a salvo in 12 seconds, for a total of 500 lasers in one minute. The dispatch of 10,000 drones means that I have 20 minutes for the drone swarm to break through the ray-level defense network and approach the bombing! In fact, we only need a small number of drones to survive to complete the light-level annihilation mission. The success rate should be no less than that of a tactical aircraft brigade, and in terms of cost, the cost does not exceed 50 million dollars......"

After Li Feng's introduction, Lieutenant General Theodor Hoffman nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "If the results of the drone war are replicable, and the cost is really cheap." Well, it means that the future human war model against beta has changed, no ...... The pattern of human civil war in the future may also change! ā€

Li Feng was stunned for a moment and said: "Lieutenant General, with all due respect, now all countries in the world should give up all contradictions and unanimously resist beta, which is the last word." ā€

"I understand this righteousness! It's a pity ......," sighed Lieutenant General Theodor Hoffman.

It's a pity that even if life and death are at stake, it is difficult for humans to forget the infighting!

All humanity united?

Even East Germany, as a country, could not really be united.

……

With the approval of China's second-generation tactical aircraft, the J-8II, and the new weapon drone, Vice Admiral Theodor Hoffmann of the East German Navy, he subsequently submitted a report that had a decisive impact on East German weapons procurement.

With the approval of the East German Ministry of Defense, China was awarded a new arms purchase order for 50 Thunder tactical aircraft at $10 million each, for a total order price of $500 million.

This only includes the price of the airframe, not the price of the weapon, because the tactical machine mimics the human hand holding the weapon, and the weapon can be mixed and matched at will. As for the ammunition of fighter planes, under the coordination of the United Nations, the tactical aircraft of various countries basically adopt 36mm and 120mm calibers, which are relatively compatible.

Therefore, East Germany does not need to purchase weapons for tactical aircraft, but uses East Germany's original tactical aircraft weapons, which can be perfectly compatible.

The computer fire control system and power system of the Thunder tactical aircraft are not much different from those of the J-8II. The real difference between the two sides is the material of the body!

The J-8II aircraft uses a large number of graphene materials that have not yet been mass-produced, and its high interest resistance and strength are higher than those of traditional aircraft, and the weight is reduced.

The Thunder tactical aircraft was inferior to the J-8II in materials, and the weight was reduced in order to enhance maneuverability, which naturally sacrificed defensiveness.

However, a quasi-second-generation tactical aircraft for $10 million can only be provided by China!

In addition to orders for tactical aircraft, there are additionally $1 billion in orders for UAV base stations and UAV terminals. This includes 100,000 drones and 200 base stations. At the same time, the cost of training is also included.

Among the 100,000 drones, 10,000 of them are directly the Fengchao UAV Brigade, which will be brought to Europe and sold to East Germany, and the remaining 90,000 UAVs are shipped from China.

Seemingly...... China is desperately engaged in the chip production capacity of semiconductor production capacity, so the production capacity of drones and base stations is gradually increasing.

At present, the country itself has been equipped with 300,000 UAVs. In addition, the monthly production capacity exceeded 100,000 aircraft, and this production capacity is increasing month by month.

East Germany, under the name of the Navy, created a drone carrier. The conditions of the drone carrier are relatively simple, and a 20,000-ton freighter was slightly modified, well, for the time being, it was mainly painted. Then, a large base station provided by China was installed, but the signal coverage was only 25 kilometers. However, at the suggestion of Chinese technicians, only the radio antenna of the base station was enhanced without changing the program and chip of the base station. This has been slightly modified, and the signal range has been increased to 40 km.

This is naturally far inferior to China's drone carriers, which have a signal coverage of more than 100 nautical miles.

However, the drone carriers of the GDR are mainly used by the East German Navy for training purposes, and they do not need to be well equipped at the beginning.

As an after-sales service for weapons, China's Fengchao experimental unit will shoulder the responsibility of training relevant personnel in Germany.

In addition, the 666 Tactical Aircraft Squadron, which was part of the East German Army system, was also withdrawn to learn to use new equipment. (To be continued.) )
