Chapter 278: Golden Combination

At the same time as the Navy expanded, the active members also began adaptation training. They need a two-hundred-man formation to be familiar with the Mistral amphibious ship, but for the soldiers who had only touched the missile boat before, it was really a little difficult to start when they suddenly came into contact with this guy with a displacement of 20,000 tons.

Victor, who was helpless, could only use his circle of contacts to hire retired officers of the Navy to train the Navy at the cost of high returns + VIP pleasure in Liberty City. The French officers who were transferred were carried out in an orderly manner, and the navy was operational.

What did not disappoint was that although this was mainly a group of black people, because of the foundation of rapid education, the foundation was very solid, and after a week of exploration, I almost understood the pattern, and then formally sailed for a week, and I was already able to do this job unfamiliarly.

Later, the long-awaited aircraft carrier defender, the 054A frigate, finally arrived, and the naval soldiers probably had to cry wolf for a while - the hired officers were not ordinary strict, and it could also be because they were busy with work and went to Liberty City for a vacation, and the casino tried their luck.

054A stopped next to the northwest wind, it looked much smaller, and the full load of 4,100 tons of drainage was not as large as the other party's 20,000 tons, but its own strength was not bad.

In addition to radar, naval guns and the like, it has a 32-unit vertical launch system in the front, which can launch 32 anti-aircraft missiles, and a 16-unit vertical launch in the middle, which can launch anti-aircraft and anti-submarine missiles.

After the same training, the frigate began to go to sea, first of all, it must escort the safe passage of its own merchant ships through the Gulf of Aden Strait, Malagashi is geographically very close to Somalia, and merchant ships will pass through Somali waters most of the time, and anti-piracy is very important.

Somali piracy has been almost wiped out in recent years, but recently there has been a resurgence of the trend. hijacked merchant ships several times and exchanged a lot of dollars; They have a very accurate grasp of the time, and their weapons have been upgraded, and it is said that there are anti-aircraft missiles.

There are also rumors that the upgraded pirates are actually al-Shabaab, an extremist group known around the world for their bombings. A typical "black + green" combination.

The 054A painted by the Navy of the Malagash Special District majestically accompanied the domestic freighter to escort more than a billion dollars worth of high-tech products and materials to Europe.

Halfway through the voyage, enter. After entering the Gulf of Aden, there was a situation nearby: several airships were heading towards the freighter, and the waves were crashing behind them.

The crew observes with binoculars, and although the equipment has been upgraded, the golden partner of AK47 and RPG7 still reveals their true nature.

"Encounter with an unidentified armed ship!"

The news was transmitted to 054A, which was on additional patrol. During this period of training, the Navy soldiers have formed a conditioned reflex and immediately return to combat duty.

"Full speed ahead!"

At the captain's command, the frigate broke through the waves and chased after the merchant ship, appearing just in time before the armed ship approached the merchant ship.

There was no doubt, there was no need to shout, the 76-mm naval guns on the frigate opened fire on the target. There was a few booms, and there were waves on the sea. The boat could not withstand the waves caused by the explosion, and unfortunately it was overturned, the AK47 and RPG were gone, and the sandals were still floating.

The other airship turns around and wants to run when it sees that the situation is not good, but the Navy soldiers who are addicted to it, where will they miss it? Exercise. The ship's 12.7 mm machine gun was raised. Crazy Strafing ...... After wasting hundreds more bullets, they were successfully brought to the sea and finally captured.

Meng Qian saw the news at tea time.

"Well done!" He was satisfied that they would be able to put it to good use - despite the claims of the pirates on the Internet - that they would take revenge on the Malagasy Navy and its people.

"Come on!" Meng Qian was not afraid of these pirates, so he took a leisurely sip of tea, and then paid attention to the root cause that gave him fearlessness - intelligent weapon testing.

The first is drones.

Although the development of aero engines has some twists and turns. Other enterprises manufacture aviation development, at least unite dozens of large and small enterprises. This is also the status quo in today's cutting-edge technology field, who can be alone. Do it all right away? Not Lo Ma, not Boeing.

Not all of Boeing's planes are made in-house. On the contrary, parts dealers are located all over Europe and Asia. The same is true of Mont Aerospace, the core technology is them, and other parties cooperate with foreign companies, through the relationship of the brotherhood, cooperate with foreign-controlled subsidiaries, and mobilize.

With a solid foundation and future help, the engine tested in the wind tunnel was successful. So the engine was officially equipped with the aircraft, and the company named this heavy fighter: FM-1. F is for fighter jets, M is for Malagashy.

FM-1 was transferred to the airfield of the Air Force in preparation for a test flight.

It is larger than any fighter in the world, more like a bomber, it needs more space to store oil, and because of hypersonic speed, it needs a stronger fuselage, and then it has to be invisible, and it has to be bigger, so that its wings are completely integrated with the fuselage, and there is no vertical tail.

The test flight of the drone is much simpler and cruder than that of a manned aircraft, with the rocket engine ignition, a short take-off on the runway, and a head up into the blue sky.

AI displays the aircraft camera image and sensor data, and performs various maneuvers in subsonic mode to test the overall structure of the fuselage.

It's huge, but it's flexible.

This project is going smoothly, after all, it uses composite materials that are decades ahead of the world's mainstream, and if this technology is judged, it is far superior to the sixth-generation aircraft.

"Next up is supersonic flight." Isabella said.

The increased power of the engine allowed the aircraft to achieve supersonic speed, and the speed kept pushing upward, and when the Mach reading exceeded 2.5, the ramjet engine worked, and continued to push the speed to a crazy critical point, and it only took a short time to break through Mach 5, and it was not its limit.

Its limits play out over the Indian Ocean: the speed breaks through Mach 8, eight times the speed of sound! It's unimaginably fast! It's as fast as a ballistic missile! In this case, the ultra-high-speed defense can not be intercepted by any country!

But fuel consumption was also very high, and it reached Mach 9 before the fuel level warning was enough for the return trip, but it was already difficult to get away from the theoretical 10 - it reduced its power and began to make a U-turn.

The ultra-high-speed U-turn also brought a super high G value, which soared to 14 G in that instant, if it was someone driving, even if it was the trump card of the trump card, it would be dizzy at this time.

But the data on the screen shows that everything is normal with the drone and fully withstands this intense high overload, creating the limits of a human fighter.

How much can the U.S. military's F22 run? It can't run to Mach 3, and it's hard to break through an overload of 10 Gs!

The sixth-generation aircraft being tested by the US military is only aiming at Mach 6 and is only intelligently controlled, which is too far behind the current one.

Not to mention the plane, there are already no missiles that will be able to catch up with it. Even ICBMs that can surpass its speed are not so agile and maneuverable.

Even the electromagnetic cannon developed by Meng Industry can not do anything except the highest level to catch up with it; Lasers may be possible, but warplanes are not fixed in the air.

After another extreme acceleration returned, the top speed was still hovering at Mach 9, and it landed safely on the military airfield in front of the fuel red line.

"Wonderful show!" Meng Qian applauded him.

According to the test results, it is already very good, and even though its engine has only been tested for 1,000 hours, its other performance has not been verified.

But just because it doesn't differ from the results of computer simulations can afford to applaud.

And the most important reason: it's a drone.

UAV is destined to be simpler than the test of manned aircraft, which also needs to pay attention to pilot safety, landing safety, use safety and so on.

What about drones? Strictly dispensable, it has no pilots and no worries about manpower losses; If the landing problem is broken, forget it; There is no way to talk about safety in use.

If there is an urgent need, the FM-1 can enter immediately. into the mass production process, to contribute to the national defense force!

Now that Meng Qian is not in a hurry, and Malagash is not facing any external threats, the company will continue to comprehensively test and improve the prototype in detail, so that it can achieve a longer service life, lower failure rate, and stronger combat capability.

After the successful test of the test machine, another defense contractor, Montson Industries, is also making efforts.

Their electromagnetic cannon system has been advanced. In the third phase of the test, the first two ranges: 1000 km and 2000 km were very good.

The guidance system of the electromagnetic gun can also share information on land, sea and air through the data link, providing more accurate guidance and correction, and the accuracy rate of hitting is more than 99% after loading artificial intelligence.

In terms of cost, electromagnetic guns are much more economical than missiles, and missiles with a range of 1,000 kilometers, such as the American Tomahawk cruise missile, cost $1 million.

The total cost of an electromagnetic gun with the same range and guidance system is more than $10,000, and the launch cost is less than $1,000.

Such a cheap and powerful weapon must be equipped in large quantities!

Electromagnetic cannon + hypersonic drone, these two combinations can basically ensure homeland security in a severe situation, and if you add other carriers, there will be no problem in producing a military superpower in the next five years - they are already doing this. (To be continued.) )
