An air formation of four Wind Rider combat boats flew out of London silently and slid towards the outskirts of the city, as if planning to conduct an aerial reconnaissance of the outskirts of the city, and as if planning to carry out an air strike in support of friendly forces on the ground, but judging from the scale of this war, the four Wind Riders did not pose much of a threat.
But just as the four combat boats flew over a group of ground assault troops that had just been dispatched from the city, and were ready to move forward, a few missiles that would only be used by humans flew towards them from a distance!
The four Wind Riders immediately dispersed and fired high-energy beams at the missiles, ready to shoot them down, but eight old nose intake swept wing fighters also swooped down from the sky at the same time, firing at the Wind Riders with their cannons!
The four Sijing Battleboats that were about to disperse had to regroup, shoot down the incoming missiles while meeting the incoming human fighters, and a number of Wind Riders were lifted into the air in the city of London to rush towards the battle area!
The human fighters did not fight with the Sijing people for too long, after all, those fighters are only the first and second generation of old fighters, in terms of performance, except for the straight-line acceleration ability in the atmosphere can exceed the wind rider who can only maintain a Mach speed of one Mach, all other indicators are far behind the Sijing people's combat boats, even if they are equipped with missiles, these old fighters have not improved much in combat performance, so the eight old fighters were all shot down in less than five minutes after fighting with less than their own number of wind riders, Only one of the Wind Riders was shot down.
It's just that none of the pilots on these downed old fighters parachuted out, and there was no one on all the downed old fighters - they are all unmanned fighters modified from old fighters such as J-6 and J-7 in country Z.
Changing those old fighters into UAVs, this is a plan that country Z has had for a long time, but considering the cost and maintenance problems, it is necessary to convert thousands of retired old fighters into UAVs, which is a long-term cumbersome project, plus even if these old aircraft are changed to UAVs, there will be no reduction in maintenance procedures and before, so that the cost is naturally not much less than manned, and it can only be said that it can reduce the loss of valuable pilots.
If it is said that these old planes are converted into unmanned bomb planes, the efficiency and cost are not as good as missiles, so country Z has only changed a small number of old planes into target planes for exercises and training.
And to change so many old planes into unmanned fighters, with the unmanned control technology of the entire human environment at that time, remote control is easy to be interfered with by the enemy and even seize control of the drone, Sijing people are higher than human technology in this regard, unmanned fighters are given to them to play, the only thing that human beings can use is autonomous intelligent drones, but the artificial intelligence that has just started in this era is obviously impossible to meet the needs of the military.
Until the advent of GDI and the provision of some new electronic equipment and technology to country Z, remote control coupled with more reliable artificial intelligence technology can meet some of the combat needs.
As a result, such aerial containment missions and wars of attrition no longer require human pilots to take great risks to fight desperately, and a large number of aircraft that have not been disassembled after retirement can be used again to fight a war of attrition against those aircraft that also do not need pilots.
Although the exchange between the two sides is extremely large, with more than five unmanned fighters lost for every time a Sijing aircraft is shot down (compared to the age of those old aircraft), this has already relieved the human side because of the large number of precious pilots killed (the Sijing people will attack human pilots who parachute). With these unmanned weapons in front of the Sijing Air Force - if you don't care about the losses - the human race can use the time squeezed out to develop more advanced fighter jets to compete with the Sijing people for air supremacy on key battlefields.
As for whether GDI will worry about those drones getting out of control, or whether anyone will use the technology they provide to develop others after the war, those drone intelligent systems are all provided by GDI, and there are as many drones as there are provided.
And in the end, whether anyone will crack GDI's system, copy the full set of technology or develop on it, Dr. Kane said that he is very confident that no one will be able to crack his security program before the end of the war, even if someone can have the talent or good fortune to come up with a way to crack it, those low-level drone programs are just the most ordinary things in his hands, not to mention, he still has countermeasures.
Not only the Air Force uses the unmanned systems provided by GDI, but even the ground weapons also have unmanned weapons.
The most priority is the heavy assault equipment of tanks, which can convert the active main battle tanks of various countries into unmanned tanks, and then send those members of the original tank crew to drive more advanced main battle equipment, increasing the number of main battle weapons while reducing the combat losses of soldiers.
Although it is a local battle, the gap in the technical level of the two sides has led to a large gap between the two sides in battle losses, and every time there is a battle, human beings have to pay a lot of casualties, even if the personnel losses can be replenished in time, but no one will not like the way to reduce losses.
However, the use of unmanned weapons is still in a stage of actual combat research in various countries. This is different from the previous use of unmanned equipment to provide auxiliary support to manned troops, this is to let those unmanned weapons directly sent to the front of the battlefield to directly attack the enemy, during this period of replenishment of losses, ammunition supply, and the handling of various emergencies, everyone only has theoretical research - only a few large countries have a small amount of experience, they already have small-scale combat experience in the use of unmanned weapons before this war.
Because of these reasons, after the start of the GDI's country Y dispatch army operation, all countries that have the ability to send observation missions to country Y, everyone knows that according to the current trend, the proportion of unmanned weapons in the human army will only increase, everyone has to adapt to this process, and must also learn how to fight such a war and study new tactics.
Just like now, after the eight unmanned fighters on the human side were shot down, the number of Sijing Wind Rider combat boats entrenched in the sky above the combat area also reached twenty-three. Usually at this time, everyone will only think that humanity is at a disadvantage, and can only temporarily back down and wait for the next battle to win.
But before the Sijing people's combat boats could take other actions, more shadows appeared in the sky, and a group of one hundred and twenty human fighter planes appeared in the sky and flew towards the area controlled by the Sijing people, which was completely a battle that planned to eat all the twenty-three combat boats of the Sijing people.
In the face of this kind of human reaction, the Sijing people naturally did not back down - if it was not for the elite troops directly under the GDI - they let the twenty-three combat boats accelerate to meet the human fighter group on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also sent more reinforcement combat boats from the cities they occupied.
Different from human beings, the Sijing people do not have a space fleet in the space orbit area of country Y, even if there is a wormhole that can carry out rapid troop mobilization, but before they can really defeat the human space fleet, it is impossible for them to fall into the ridiculous trap of human beings - a civilization that can enter the era of interstellar colonization, the detection distance of various detection equipment is naturally comparable to that of human beings, a civilization that has not even taken the first step, and the tactics of GDI using one fleet as bait and another fleet as a yellow finch are certainly impossible to hide from the Sijing people.
Obviously, the space force that the Sijing people can mobilize is not enough to break this trap, so they simply don't go to this trap they have discovered, but just use ground forces to entangle with humans, relying on a large number of civilians and dignitaries in London who have not escaped from the city as hostages, so that the GDI fleet in orbit will not dare to carry out orbital bombing.
GDI really didn't dare to raze the whole city to the ground before it became clear how many civilians in London had not fled at this time - they didn't want to get their hands dirty - the current interim government officials of country Y didn't dare to open this mouth, so everyone could only quite tacitly not mention this matter, no one dared to open this mouth easily, not even to discuss the proposal, and no one wanted to become the object of everyone's criticism in the future - not everyone dared to say that they ignored the millions of lives in the city of London and destroyed the entire capital city of country Y. Before the war reaches the worst, it is worth sacrificing those millions to defeat the enemy, that will only attract all kinds of criticism and accusations, and his political career is likely to be interrupted because of this, so those cunning politicians will not do such stupid things, anyway, now that there is an army in front, they are very safe, and it is not up to them if something goes wrong, and the war has not yet reached the time to determine the winner and loser, and it is not yet the time for them to jump out and grab the fruit.
GDI can't directly bomb the whole of London, but the troops sent by the Sijing people to the city to expand the area of control have become their main targets. Before the arrival of the expeditionary force of country Z, the Y army could only resist the attack of the Sijing people to the death, but after the reinforcements arrived, the human side was no longer willing to continue to defend it, even if it could not directly blow up the downtown area, but the ground troops of the Sijing people who rushed out did not want to retreat safely.
Not only did they trap the Sijing people in the city of London, but they also attacked and liberated the city - twenty-three Sijing Wind Rider combat boats faced one hundred and twenty old human fighter planes, even if the Wind Rider had an absolute advantage in performance, but the huge gap in number made each of these Wind Riders have to deal with five human fighters, and these fighters have also undergone certain equipment upgrades, and they used to rely on aerial artillery to kill the enemy, or they could only use old aircraft with backward radars and missiles, At this time, it can also launch advanced air-to-air missiles against the Wind Rider.
In the face of the wind riders, these unmanned fighters first fired a missile salvo, and after using air-to-air missiles that were several times the number of fighters to disrupt or even shoot down a third of the wind riders, those old fighters who ran out of missiles started a dog fight with the wind riders (because they were unmanned fighters used as cannon fodder, so old aircraft like the J-6 were only equipped with two air-to-air missiles for harassing the enemy), and the unmanned fighters who did not run out of missiles roamed around the periphery of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to attack the combat boats of the Sijing people with missiles. Then, after running out of missiles, join the dogfight battlefield. ()
