Chapter 869: Six Years Later Red Police Regiment (Part II)
The level of missile strength has always been one of the important indicators for judging the strength of a country's military strikes, and the missile level of the three superpowers, China, the United States, and Russia, has always been at the leading level in the world, and all countries with some strength have also devoted themselves to developing their own missile science and technology.
India, South Korea, North Korea, Pakistan, North Korea, and a large number of other countries, which are not constantly developing their own missiles.
Russia still maintains its status as a superpower, and a very important assessment direction is that Russia inherits the missile strength of the Soviet Union, whether it is the once famous Hades, or the current Topol series, as well as a series of ballistic missile nuclear submarines and submarine-launched missiles, which are the most powerful support for the Russian superpower.
During the Somali War, Somalia tested a missile for the first time, and the warhead directly reached the vicinity of Guam in the Pacific Ocean, which frightened the whole world. Over the years, Somali missiles have also participated in actual combat many times, and during the war between Vietnam and Kenya, Somali missiles had a good record.
Moreover, what is most concerning is that the level of missile science and technology in Somalia is very mature and self-contained, with missiles of various series, whether in hardware or software, and has never relied on the technology of a second country.
As everyone knows, there are four branches of the armed forces in Somalia, and the fourth unit, which is on a par with the navy, army, and air force, is the missile regiment, the predecessor of which has a unique record in the world, and destroyed the US aircraft carrier USS Bush with medium-range ballistic missiles, thus most forcefully confirming the theory of ballistic missiles hitting aircraft carriers.
Now, ten years have passed since this incident, but no one will forget the terrible sirens that erupted in the American fleet and the images of the burning aircraft carriers. But for this force that destroyed American aircraft carriers. Not much is known to the outside world.
The most direct one was at the Somali statehood parade, where this missile unit was presented. Several missile squadrons were shown. In ten years, science and technology have made great progress. No one is wondering how much Somalia has grown now, which once had complete missile technology.
The mystery seemed to be about to be revealed, and countless people sat in front of the TV waiting with bated breath, but the TV screen seemed to disappoint them.
There's nothing wrong with the Foot Squad and the Armored Platoon followed by the Missile Platoon, but the team that came out at the beginning wasn't what they were most interested in, and it was clear that the real excitement was in the back.
The shotgun was followed by the Army Missile Unit, which had four Army missile squadrons, one of which was an anti-tank missile squadron. The missile being reviewed was the V-2FT, a vehicle-mounted heavy anti-tank missile designed to strike heavy main battle tanks.
The next two squadrons are anti-aircraft missile squadrons, one is a process surface-to-air missile squadron, and the other is a medium-range surface-to-air missile squadron. When it was the turn of the last missile squadron, more people were interested, the short-range tactical missile squadron, a tactical missile belonging to the army. I saw that behind the neat launch vehicles, there were three trapezoidal launch boxes. On the yellow-green camouflage, painted V-2ZS.
Military fans who are familiar with Somalia's weapons system will immediately know that this is a missile that has been shown for the first time. The outside world is very curious about Somali weapons, but there are few revelations. NATO promotes the Somalia threat theory every day, but it can't find good material, and many topics are the kind that have been talked about for several years. Only because of the development of weapons in Somalia. It's all highly secretive, anyway, NATO's powerful intelligence network. I can't get any valuable news.
It is known that the serial number of Somali missiles starts with V. Forming a complete series, during the military parade of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were also missiles starting with V-2, but there were not many, which also makes people think that the missiles of the Somali V-2 model have also developed a missile system that adapts to various battlefield environments?
This question doesn't need to be guessed, the answer will soon be available.
As soon as the army missile team passed, the next was the Navy missile team, and sure enough, after the V-1 model in front, there were also three missile teams starting with V-2.
The three numbers V-2FJ, V-2XH, and V-2DD painted on the missile launch box are very unfamiliar numbers to all viewers. However, it was not difficult to see what kind of functions these V-2 missiles for different purposes had based on the V-1 series.
The missile unit of the Air Force pays attention to air defense and anti-missile, is responsible for the defense of key cities and high-value targets, and is also the first shield of the country's anti-missile air defense.
In addition to the V-1 series, which everyone is familiar with, the V-2 series also appeared, and according to the letters painted on the back, a conclusion soon came out, the V-2 was an upgraded version of the V-1, but it is not known exactly what Cheng dù was upgraded to.
Of course, there are many people who have reacted that the Somalis continue to use the last letters of the previous number, and there is no intention to conceal the capabilities of these new missiles.
Following the missile units of the army, navy, and air force, the next parade will be the turn of the Strategic Missile Forces of the missile corps. However, at the beginning, there was no big guy like an intercontinental missile, but a tactical missile of several teams.
After the tactical missiles of the three squares, the strategic missile launcher finally appeared. The Strategic Missile Squadron, which can also be called the Nuclear Missile Platoon, has a clear yellow nuclear energy symbol on each launch box, which wakes everyone up to the great lethality and danger of this thing.
At the military parade, Li Lan's nuclear missile unit was used to bluff people, but now these strategic missiles are all real guys. And it was not because of the military parade, but just to recount the launch vehicles, in each launch vehicle, there is a real missile, which has a nuclear warhead.
In fact, not only these intercontinental nuclear bombs, but all the teams in front of them are live guns. It's just that the outside world doesn't know this news.
If everyone knew that all of these missiles on TV were physical now, the scene would probably be very exciting and dangerous, but the scene would certainly not be so peaceful.
However, now everyone's eyes are attracted to these rumbling and crushing big guys. Just one glance, everyone already felt it deeply. Somalia is not at all inferior to Russia in missile technology.
The integrated missile launcher has both the ability to launch and command. That is to say, each of these launch vehicles can be launched on its own, and there is no need for radar vehicles and command vehicles to control the launch of missiles. This kind of missile technology is enough to make many countries blush.
The nearly twenty-meter-long body and the missile launch box that runs through the length of the hull are enough to tell everyone that the missile inside is also a big guy.
It was at this time that all the attention in front of the television set was rare to hear the introduction of these missiles on Somali television: "The missiles that appear on the TV screen now are the most powerful deterrent weapons of the Federation." The intercontinental nuclear missile unit subordinate to the missile regiment is a unit established during the founding war, which manages hundreds of intercontinental nuclear missiles of the federation and has the capability of secondary nuclear counterattack. These missile launchers that you see now are equipped with V-3 Type 1 intercontinental missiles with a range of 8,000 kilometers, which can not only be launched on a land-based mobile basis, but also derive submarine-launched ballistic missiles from the ballistic missile nuclear submarines of the Chinese Federal Navy.
The second strategic missile squadron that has now appeared is the V-3 II ICBM of our Federation, which can strike more than 10,000 kilometers. It has very stable performance in flight and combat when traversing the enemy's anti-missile defense system. The three cruise solid-fuel engines are powerful, which not only increases the weight of the missile's warhead, but also enables the missile to fly faster than other Russian-made missiles, greatly reducing the missile's time and altitude in the active stage of the trajectory. At the same time, dozens of auxiliary engines, control instruments and equipment make such a fast flight very difficult to anticipate by the enemy, which greatly increases the ability to overcome various enemy anti-missile defense systems. It can be loaded with a high-yield nuclear warhead. Up to three sub-guided nuclear warheads can be loaded.
The third strategic missile squadron that appeared next was the latest missile of our Federation. It has a longer range and can carry twelve sub-guided nuclear warheads at a time......"
Under the narrator's explanation, the three strategic missile squadrons slowly drove from right to left on the television screen. Although these three strategic missiles have a simple explanation, they bring more problems to the world.
Prior to this, Somalia had also conducted a number of test launches of intercontinental missiles, and even a test launch of a submarine-launched missile, all of which had good results. And until today, everyone knows that there are three intercontinental missiles with completely different functions in Somalia, which has surprised many people.
However, the parade has been carried out so far, most of the audience is also satisfied, and perhaps some people are a little regretful that those conceptual weapons that appeared at the Somali defense exhibition over the years did not appear at the parade.
The last missile squadron disappeared from the television screen, which also indicated that the ground squadron of this military parade had ended. Everyone did not stop their eyes because of the past of the ground team, and at the end of the sky, a dense group of planes came behind the ground team.
A group of 151 intruder fighters formed a goose-shaped group, led by a lookout early warning aircraft, took the lead in the sky above the Guò viewing platform, and when it passed through the sky above Guò Square, it released the colorful spray used in the performance, pulling out a rainbow in the air.
It was followed by Black Hawk fighters, a fish-scale formation of one hundred and eighty-eight aircraft, still under the leadership of AWACS, flying over the square. The group of film and film planes flew in groups from 1,500 meters in the air, and the shock is self-evident.
The third air echelon is still the invaders, but all of them are invaders who have been upgraded to the fifth generation fighters, this time in a square formation, consisting of one hundred and sixty fighters.
Batches of fighter planes swept through the sky, and in the first four echelons alone, more than 600 fighter planes were displayed in front of the world, and each group flew at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
Countless cameras are under people's hands, recording this wave after wave of shocking pictures, and on the guest viewing platform, everyone can't help but stand up, point at the group of machines in the sky, and talk to each other.
The arrival of the air echelon pushed the atmosphere to the highest peak, and the group of aircraft that appeared in the fifth echelon was even more shocking.
A huge fighter figure composed of two hundred Apollo fighters appeared in front of everyone, Apollo's huge fuselage, elegant fuselage, and the integrated memory layout. Let everyone just look at it and remember this picture.
Apollo fighters. Since NATO reported six years ago that a new stealth fighter of the Somali Air Force appeared in Kenya. The news about the Somali fighter has never stopped.
Now, the whole world is quite familiar with this fighter, and they also admire the Somali spirit of pursuing the pinnacle of air combat capabilities. As the first country to develop three fifth-generation fighters at the same time, Somalia already has light and heavy aircraft with high and low combinations, and Apollo is a fighter in pursuit of absolute air superiority, which many people did not understand at first.
However, no one dares to laugh at the Somalis because there is no single path to the future. Science has proven that what seems funny now will often become true in the future.
Although it has not yet been proved whether it is possible to realize the value of a fighter specially designed to establish air supremacy, when the Apollo, a fifth-generation fighter specially designed for air combat, came out, it made NATO nervous.
The reason is very simple, the air combat capability of Apollo fighters is higher than all NATO fighters in service. How can this make the north and bottom face it calmly.
However, five years have passed now, and this fighter has not been shot a second time, which also makes many people suspect that this pure air superiority fighter is highly expected by the Somalis. Is it really that magical?
But whatever the reason for suspicion, it is an indisputable fact that Somalia has three fifth-generation fighters. Recently, it was also reported that China is negotiating a contract with Somalia for the purchase of Apollo fighters. The number of purchases will even reach two hundred.
The truth of this news has not yet received an official answer from both sides, but neither side has denied it. Some of the problems can already be explained. The reason why China wants to buy this fighter is mainly because in many exercises between the two sides, Apollo's actual expression has won the love of the Chinese side.
This huge group of planes in front of them made everyone's necks rise as high as possible, this was the first time they had seen such a beautiful fighter, no one wanted to miss this scene in front of them, and no one in the entire square was even willing to blink an eye.
On the viewing platform, everyone also pointed at the group of planes in the sky, in fact, not only outsiders had not seen these Apollo fighters, but even they saw Apollo fighters flying in groups at low altitude for the first time.
The Somali Federal Guard is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defence, and within the Federation, the military and the government are completely separated, and federal officials do not see the top military generals several times a year, and there is no overlap in the terms of reference of the two sides.
This military parade is also the first time that many federal officials have seen their own country's weapons and equipment, which shows that Li Lan usually has strict military and political requirements. Of course, this military-government relationship is directed at the Federal Guard, but there are not many restrictions on the garrison, which is involved in nation-building in peacetime and has a lot of contact with government and local officials.
Up to now, only five aircraft groups have passed, and more than 800 fighters have appeared, and even the Apollo fighters have a scale of 200 aircraft, which makes many viewers who have reacted extremely shocked in their hearts.
You must know that since the production of the F-22 in the United States resumed, five or six years have passed now, and less than 600 aircraft have been equipped, and this is still in the case of rapid production, so this scale has been achieved. And Russia's T-50 has only more than 100 units since it was officially installed.
But now, the number of fifth-generation fighters that appeared at the Somali military parade has exceeded 500, which also makes many people feel Somalia's strong industrial efficiency again.
After the Apollo fighter fleet, the next fleet was much smaller, but the military parade effect was not bad at all, and the group of sixty peacekeeping bombers, following Apollo, showed its charm in front of the world.
They were followed by lightning supersonic bombers, but there were only a dozen of them, but they were no worse than the previous ones, after all, bombers were much more attractive than fighters.
It wasn't until the towering body of the Century bomber flew over the square that everyone truly realized the limits of Somalia's aviation industry. Subsequently, although the vanguard armed warships that continued to appear did not have the pressure of the century bombers, the shock of the various weapon systems exposed on the sides of the fuselage continued unabated.
And in this short period of ten minutes, a total of more than twenty air echelons were reviewed, and there were no duplicates, and after the fixed-wing combat aircraft, there were two models of AWACS aircraft and two models of heavy transport aircraft. This was followed by the appearance of various drones, and although the various sky knights were slightly petite, they were not small in terms of technology.
Somali helicopters are also in demand in the international arms market, and have become the best helicopter choice for almost every African country, after all, some countries still can't afford fixed-wing combat aircraft.
Of course, it is not that fixed-wing fighters are not easy to sell, but compared to helicopters, they are much easier to sell, after all, those who can't afford it still can't afford it, and those who can afford it will buy a little more.
Nowadays, Somalia's air force equipment has been exported to more than half of the world, and the annual export of aero engines is not a small number, and many aviation materials are the best choice for many developed countries. If it weren't for NATO's existence, Somalia's current arms exports would have reached new heights.
It is foreseeable that after this military parade, I am afraid that more people will be willing to choose to buy weapons and equipment from Somalia. (To be continued......)
