Chapter 436: Army Building (2)
The Hualong State has canceled the original autonomous special zone system, and the Black Dragon Army is not the original government army, or it is not within the territory of the Hualong State; Either they will honestly hand over their military power, and they will never allow independence, autonomy, and so on.
At the same time, the military districts and regional commands of the former Burmese Army have also been abolished, the government army and various independent armed forces have been comprehensively reorganized, and 12 divisions have been initially formed, as well as missile battalions, air defense battalions, and other independent units.
Tanks have always been limited by mobility, and they are gradually replaced by helicopters on the battlefield, which has become an inevitable trend in future wars.
The Black Dragon Army is equipped with a large number of electric helicopters of various types, and its per capita ownership even exceeds that of Lijianguo, ranking first in the world.
Four of these divisions will be converted into air assault divisions, similar in strength to the 101st Air Assault Division in the country of Lijian, except with fewer personnel and more helicopters.
Each division consists of three air assault brigades and one combat aviation brigade, and the combat aviation brigade has three air assault helicopter battalions, three attack helicopter battalions, one medium-range transport helicopter battalion, and one command aviation battalion.
Together with the auxiliary units directly under the division headquarters, such as the communications battalion, engineer battalion, anti-aircraft artillery battalion, military intelligence battalion, aviation maintenance battalion, air ambulance company, anti-chemical company, and military police company, the total strength is 14,000 people.
The division is equipped with more than 500 electric helicopters of various types, including 188 Yin-05 attack helicopters, 54 Yin-01 reconnaissance helicopters, 207 Yin-03 general-purpose helicopters, 35 Yin-04 large transport helicopters, 26 Yin-07 medium transport helicopters, 20 Yin-09 heavy armed attack helicopters, and 5 Yin-08 electronic warfare helicopters.
Air assault divisions relied on helicopters. It has fast air mobility and powerful firepower and assault power. Ability to leapfrog terrain obstacles over long distances. Deliver a surprise blow to the enemy.
The original Burmese Air Force was very small, less than 10,000 people, with only 240 fighters of various types and about 150 combat aircraft, most of which were old and outdated. After two battles and many blows by the Black Dragon Army, there were still 121 left.
But the Black Dragon Army did not look down on these aircraft at all, and all of them were retired or sold to other countries. Including the MiG-29 fighters that were purchased from the Rakshasa country a few years ago, which are quite advanced.
The Air Force now has 64 "Tianlong" fighters, has just commissioned eight "Black Whirlwind" multi-role fighter-bombers, and is developing a suborbital bomber.
The suborbital bomber is a kind of space-based spacecraft, which can carry out long-distance direct strikes against ground targets in space orbit, and can also maneuver and change orbits and quickly change the strike area, so that the enemy army is overwhelmed and has extremely strong survivability.
This bomber can be radar stealth, produced. Up to 8 times the speed of sound, up to 80,000 meters above the ceiling. It flies higher and faster than the vast majority of existing fighter jets and anti-aircraft missiles, and has a global strike capability.
In addition, there are thousands of UAVs of various models that can perform a variety of tasks such as reconnaissance, attack, bombing, etc.
The Air Force purchased 90 electric transport aircraft of the My Neighbor Totoro series produced by Galaxy Aviation Manufacturing Company.
With its wide wings and a bit like a fat ray, the Totoro can hover in the air and take off and land vertically, does not require specialized airfields and runways, can fly at supersonic speeds when necessary, and can transport personnel and supplies for troops anytime and anywhere.
Totoro aircraft is a general term, according to the size, a total of more than ten models, whether it is carrying capacity, speed, range, maneuverability or safety, than the technology of traditional transport aircraft is several times stronger.
The small Totoro has a wingspan of 34 meters, a length of 30.8 meters, a height of 11.3 meters, and can carry 22 tons of supplies, with a range of 5,000 kilometers.
With a fuselage length of 49.6 meters, a height of 15.4 meters, a wingspan of 47.8 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 250 tons and a maximum load of 150 tons, the medium-sized Totoro can transport 240 heavily armed soldiers with a range of 10,000 kilometers.
With a fuselage length of 81 meters, a height of 20.4 meters and a wingspan of 77.5 meters, the largest Totoro aircraft is a true giant, with a maximum take-off weight of 560 tons, a maximum payload of 340 tons, and a maximum range of 16,000 kilometers.
Compared to the world's largest transport aircraft, the An-225, the large Totoro aircraft is a little smaller in size, but its carrying capacity exceeds that of the other party.
However, to be honest, the Black Dragon Army does not need this kind of transport aircraft with an ultra-long range for the time being.
Special models of Totoro aircraft can also be optical, infrared, and radar completely invisible, and can perform special missions.
In order to build the Black Dragon Army into the world's strongest army, Ye Guang expanded several military academies of the original Burmese army, hired a large number of military instructors from Xinhua State, and even established a new space academy to train talents in aerospace and space warfare.
In addition to the army, navy and air force, the Black Dragon Army also established a "space army", that is, the space force.
This is a multi-service composite force, which in the future will include a space fleet, a permanent space station, ground-based troops, an aerospace aircraft unit, a strategic missile force, an air defense system, an anti-missile system, a space surveillance system, and a command and control system.
Modern warfare is becoming more and more dependent on space reconnaissance, space communications, space navigation, space early warning, and wartime support, and the control of the space battlefield will restrict combat operations on the ground and sea battlefields to a great extent.
Seizing supremacy in the sky has become one of the basic conditions for seizing supremacy in the air, sea, and electromagnetic supremacy.
In future wars, whoever gets space, especially the low-level orbital space, will occupy the commanding heights of the earth; Whoever occupies the commanding heights will be able to gain the initiative in the war.
At present, all countries in the world that have space capabilities have already formed or are in the process of forming space forces.
The aerospace carriers, aerospace fighters, hypersonic weapons, suborbital bombers, space mines, spacecraft, satellites, space stations, and solar weapons that the Black Dragon Army plans to install in the next step are all under the jurisdiction of the Space Army.
Today's war is gradually changing from a three-dimensional war mode of land, sea, and air to a five-dimensional war mode of land, sea, air, space (space warfare), and electricity (network warfare).
And in the world, only the Xinhua Kingdom, the Lijian Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom have the ability to conduct space warfare, and now there is a Hualong Kingdom, which will occupy a great or even absolute military advantage.
In the future, it is very likely that only three or four world powers will be capable of conducting a five-dimensional war, and the vast majority of countries in the world will really not be able to afford such a war.
So don't look at the Japanese and Tianzhu countries, if they are one-on-one, Xinhua will definitely be able to knock them down.
The reason is very simple, the Wa State and the Tianzhu State do not have a perfect space system, and once the satellites are shot down and not replenished in time, the balance of war will fall in favor of the Xinhua State.
After entering the new year, the number of the Black Dragon Army exceeded 340,000, excluding the militia units and armed police.
Among them, the Sky Army has less than 3,000 people, the Air Force has 12,000 people, the Navy has a total of 16,000 people, and the Army has more than 310,000 people.
The navy and air force of the Black Dragon Army do not seem to be large in scale, but with the Skynet system, the Hidden Dragon Base and the Crystal Palace Base as supplements, in the event of a war, there are enough forces to protect the land, sky and sea of the Hualong Kingdom.
