838 The Importance of Night Vision Technology
"All battlefield areas!"
At the dinner table, in the face of Jiang Yuerong's question, Su Qiyue immediately gave the answer without thinking about it.
"Covering the entire battlefield area?"
Jiang Yuerong was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "This will definitely not be possible for the time being." ”
"At present, the most advanced night vision equipment in foreign countries can only meet a part of the battlefield firefighting area. If you want to cover it all, it's too hard. ”
Su Qiyue snorted and nodded: "Yes, Jianggong, this is our long-term goal." ”
"In the short term, it would be very good that the combat application range of night vision technology could be extended to 10 kilometers away."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhu Haipeng couldn't help but open his voice.
"It's not possible to be 10 kilometers away, right? For example, our C Division, although the artillery regiment and anti-aircraft artillery regiment have night vision equipment, the combat radius is 5 kilometers, and if you want to reach 10 kilometers, you have to go up two steps of weapons and equipment......
After Zhu Haipeng said this, Su Qiyue turned his face and explained to him.
"Division Commander Zhu, you are right, our army is currently lacking in the ability of our troops to fight at night because of the lack of technical level and military spending. A combat radius of 5 km is already the limit of night operations for conventional troops. ”
"However, when you look at the global military powers, this figure is not an exaggeration at all."
"After all, the United States and some Western military powers were able to expand the radius of their night operations to more than 8 kilometers more than 10 years ago."
After listening to Su Qiyue's explanation, Zhu Haipeng was slightly stunned, and then nodded with relief.
He is a well-known academic in the C Military Region, and he is naturally extremely familiar with the military history of the world.
Zhu Haipeng remembers very well that in the Gulf War, the multinational forces suppressed the Iraqi army because of their superiority in night-vision equipment and quickly won victory in ground operations.
The easy victory of the multinational forces in that war was not only due to their overwhelming superiority in the quality and quantity of weapons and equipment.
In fact, the ground forces of the Iraqi army at that time, both in terms of quantity and quality, were among the top in the world.
Their defeat is more due to the performance of night vision equipment and some other key technologies, which are much worse than the United States.
When Zhu Haipeng rectified it, Su Qiyue continued his statement.
"During the Gulf War, the M1A1 tank of the United States was equipped with a gun commander's thermal imager sight."
"This kind of equipment is very advanced, and it can expand the distance for finding targets to 4,000 meters and the distance for identifying targets to 3,000 meters under the battlefield and meteorological conditions with a unique ability of 100 meters."
In addition, the commander of the M1A1 main station tank has figured out the sight and the gun commander, and its laser ranging range is as high as 8,000 meters. These technical parameters are beyond the reach of the ground forces of the Iraqi army......"
After a slight pause, Su Qiping raised his hand and continued: "At that time, the Iraqi army was equipped with the T-32 tank gun commander's active infrared sight, which was only 700 meters away, and the commander's circumferential sight was only more than 2,000 meters, and the maximum range of the combined optical ranging was three or four thousand meters, which was only half of that of M1A1. ”
"Under this gap in night vision, the tanks of the Iraqi army have simply become live targets at night. Its superiority in firepower is simply too late to be brought into play, and it is bound to be in a situation of being passively beaten......"
After listening to Su Qiyue's story, Zhu Haipeng's face gradually became solemn.
Indeed, more than 10 years ago, the United States had already reached such a point in its night combat capability, which indeed brought great pressure to other military powers.
In recent years, although our army has made rapid progress in terms of equipment, scientific and technological progress and upgrading.
However, in many technologies and equipment, there is still a gap with others.
For example, in terms of the advancement of this night vision equipment, there is a significant gap with others.
Jiang Yuerong also saw her husband's amazement, and couldn't help but speak out.
"Haipeng, don't be too discouraged."
"What I just said in July is the large-scale promotion of night vision technology, which is of course difficult. But when it comes to elite troops, we still have the ability to cover 10 kilometers at night. ”
As soon as Jiang Yuerong's words fell, Zhu Haipeng shook his head helplessly.
"Yuerong, of course I know what you said. But after so many years, we are improving, and it is impossible for people to stagnate. ”
"It is true that our elite troops can reach a combat radius of 10 kilometers for night operations. But people, in this number, may have exceeded 20 kilometers, or even more......"
"It's always one step at a time!"
Jiang Yuerong smiled and said with relief.
Zhu Haipeng sighed and turned his gaze to Su Qiyue next to him.
"Brother July, when you asked Yuerong about this, did you want to give Fan Yingming's guy a night raid during the exercise at the beginning of next month?"
After he asked this, Long Xiaoyun, who was sitting quietly on the side, moved his eyebrows slightly.
She felt that before the exercise, Master Zhu inquired about it, and she was a little too dismissive of herself as an outsider.
Exercises, after all, there is a win or loser.
If after the brigade commander admits it, this one is leaked out, won't it make the people of the T Brigade prepared?
Su Qiyue noticed Long Xiaoyun's dissatisfaction, and couldn't help but pass on a reassuring look to her.
Zhu Haipeng and Fan Yingming have always been at odds with each other, but Su Qiyue is not worried that he will report to Brigade Commander Fan.
And I asked Jiang Yuerong today about the popularization of night vision equipment, not just for the next exercise.
As a matter of fact, further enhancing the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the W Brigade is the goal of Su Qiyue.
At that moment, the corners of his mouth lifted and explained to Zhu Haipeng.
"I had such an idea, after all, the strength of the T Brigade and Brigade Commander Fan is there. If you fight head-on during the day, everyone is evenly matched and basically has little chance. ”
"If you want to win, you naturally have to expand your thinking."
When Zhu Haipeng nodded, Su Qiyue added.
"In addition, the promotion of night vision equipment to the whole brigade will also help the conventional troops to further adapt to the fighting style of special operations."
"In the future, when they encounter the special operations units of the brother troops, they will not panic......
After Su Qiyue finished speaking, Zhu Haipeng nodded suddenly in understanding.
Indeed, after entering the 21 st century, the mystery of the special operations unit has gradually been revealed.
The regular units have gone from being helpless when they met in past exercises to now being able to go back and forth with the special operations units, and the progress is still obvious.
However, such progress was not enough for the conventional forces to win the exercise.
Many times, when they encounter special operations troops on the exercise ground, they can only be led by the nose by others.
On the one hand, this certainly shows the strong combat effectiveness of our army's special operations units.
However, on the other hand, it is also an indisputable fact that the combat potential of conventional forces has not been brought into full play.
The bigwigs above should also see this, since the past two years, many newly established digital units, including the W Brigade and the T Brigade, have added special operations elements.
Such a measure can make the officers and men of the regular forces have a more intuitive understanding of special operations;
In addition, it will also allow the special operations units to bring more of their rich combat experience to the regular units.
"Although it is difficult to implement, you are right in July, the promotion of night vision technology is indeed necessary to speed up."
Jiang Yuerong said with a smile.
Long Xiaoyun on the side said: "I agree with Jiang Gong's point of view. ”
"In fact, at present, the world's military powers are already developing the fourth generation of low-light night vision technology." 520
"Thermal imaging technology, after the first generation of opto-mechanical scanning and the second generation of focal plane detector technology, is also developing the third generation of thermal imaging technology."
"At the same time, with the development of electronic processing technology and computer technology, various image processing and information fusion technologies have also developed rapidly in the field of technology."
"Just like Lao Mei has declared in the past two years, on the battlefield today, 'having the night' is no longer enough, 'sharing the night' is a higher level of technology......"
Long Xiaoyun is a master of computer technology, and the problems he says are all on the point.
After listening to her statement, Jiang Yuerong nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, what Xiaoyun said is right." At present, several major military powers in the world have indeed begun to study the fourth-generation low-light night vision technology and the third-generation thermal imaging technology. ”
"In comparison, our army is slightly inferior in research on these two technologies. We are also promoting and developing the third-generation low-light night vision technology and the second-generation focal plane thermal imaging technology. ”
"When these two technologies are fully mature, I think there will be basically no shackles when it comes to promoting night vision technology to the whole army."
As soon as Jiang Yuerong said this, it was basically a "coffin closure".
Because the technology is not up to it for the time being, it is definitely not possible to extend the night vision technology to the entire W Brigade.
Even if the military region increases its investment in the W Brigade, it will never be possible in a short period of time.
Knowing this, Su Qiyue was not very discouraged.
He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "I hope this day will come sooner." In that case, the restrictions on the all-area operations of our army will also be lifted. ”
Su Qiyue's words made Zhu Haipeng very moved.
At this point, he finally determined that Su Qiyue's words just now were not a pretext.
This young man really didn't take the exercises with the T Brigade too seriously.
What he was thinking about was how to improve the combat effectiveness of the W Brigade and even the combat capability of the whole army through the promotion of night vision technology.
Thinking that Su Qiyue can have this mind and bearing at such a young age, it is really unusual.
Like Zhu Haipeng, Jiang Yuerong also appreciated Su Qiyue's argument very much.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Long Xiaoyun beside her.
Seeing the ripples in the lieutenant colonel's eyes, Jiang Yuerong couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
She said in her heart: There is no doubt that this Brigade Commander Su is excellent, but it is too recruiting.
In contrast, it is more reassuring to be like Haipeng.
Indeed, Zhu Haipeng was both civil and military, and his appearance was dignified, and he was deeply appreciated by Deputy Commander Fang.
But this guy actually lost to Fan Yingming when he was competing for Miss Fang San, which was really unexpected.
Not to mention anything else, his attraction to women back then was obviously lacking.
It's far worse than the current Brigade Commander Su.
A meal, eaten for almost two hours.
The four of them are all highly educated talents who are rare in the military region, and they have a lot of common language, so naturally they have a good conversation with each other.
When parting, Jiang Yuerong also specially took a pot of tea for Su Qiyue and Long Xiaoyun.
"This is a small pot of tea from my hometown, which my family brought with me when they came to see me."
For the hospitality of this Jiang worker, Su Qiyue and Long Xiaoyun couldn't refuse, so they could only accept it.
Speaking of which, Su Qiyue really doesn't have a good impression of the name "small pot of tea".
I remember that in my previous life, when it seemed to be 18 or 19 years, this tea was very hyped.
But in fact, it sells a package, and it is still machine-fried tea.
Because according to the marketing advertisement of small pots of tea, the master roasted the tea by hand, and finally calculated that each master should roast 1466 catties of tea every day, which is simply impossible.
The small pot of tea is not a scam, at least it also involves false propaganda.
Many elderly people are unaware of what they are doing, and they are fooled into buying it, which can be regarded as paying an IQ tax.
Of course, the small pot of tea sent by Jiang Yuerong is definitely not the same as the brand in her previous life.
After all, it would be years before that brand appeared.
got into the car, Su Qiyue greeted Zhu Haipeng and Jiang Yuerong, who were sent out of the compound, and then started the car and drove away slowly.
Seeing the car go away, Jiang Yuerong couldn't help but ask Zhu Haipeng: "Haipeng, that Deputy Chief of Staff Long, it seems that he doesn't have a boyfriend yet, right?" ”
"Hmm, I don't know ...... this."
"What, are you trying to introduce her to someone? Okay, no problem! ”
Zhu Haipeng said disappreciatively, "I'll ask July when I go back." ”
Jiang Yuerong glanced at Zhu Haipeng and said angrily: "Don't ask anything you don't know, don't ask about it." ”
"What can it be?"
Zhu Haipeng was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses.
He smiled and waved his hand, "You said July and Comrade Xiaoyun? That's impossible! ”
"July has high aspirations, but he is not a person who loves children."
Regarding her husband's judgment, Jiang Yuerong was noncommittal.
As the two walked back, a car horn sounded behind them.
Zhu Haipeng and Jiang Yuerong stopped and watched.
After a while, a Land Rover behind slowly stopped to the side of the two.
The next moment, the window of the driver's seat fell, revealing a bright cheek.
"Haipeng, sister-in-law, where are you two walking? This husband sings with his wife, which is really enviable! ”
It was undoubtedly Fang Yiluo who spoke.
After divorcing Fan Yingming, although he has not remarried, he will still come to the military compound from time to time to take a walk.
Looking at her like this, she should have gone to Fan Yingming.
For this woman he once loved deeply when he was young, Zhu Haipeng still has a hard time putting on a straight face.
He smiled and said, "What's the matter, we just sent guests together." ”
"Oh? Sending guests, who? ”
Fang Yi's eyes rolled and asked playfully.
"As for Su Qiyue of the W Brigade, didn't you see it last time?"
Zhu Haipeng explained without doubt.
Hearing this, Fang Yi suddenly said, "Ah, it's the young Chief of Staff of the Soviet Union!" ”
"Hey, when I was chatting with Yingming two days ago, I talked about him......"
Zhu Haipeng sighed, and wanted to say something more, but Jiang Yuerong had already taken his hand.
Fang Yi saw Jiang Yuerong's movements in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised: "Haipeng, sister-in-law, I won't bother you, let's go first." ”
