Compared with the V-1DK's fleet of 20 vehicles, the V-1FK's missile squadron has only 16 vehicles, but the visual effect brought by it is not bad at all.
The size of the missiles is not a grade, each V-1DK launcher has six missiles, and the V-1FK has only four missiles on it, but the length of the launcher is nearly a meter apart.
It is precisely the difference in the size of the missiles that makes the two missiles very different in the interception range, and there is also a big difference in combat effectiveness.
So far, Somalia has displayed four types of anti-aircraft weapons, each of which is vehicle-mounted, some armored and some mobile, but without exception, all four anti-aircraft missiles have been tested in actual combat. This test also includes sea-based versions of the same missile.
If you have to find a missile series, and all of them have a very good record in actual combat, then there is only the V series anti-aircraft missile family in Somalia. The three types of anti-aircraft missiles include three positions in the whole airspace, far, medium and near, as well as high, low and ultra-low altitudes. The results tested in actual combat are where the value of these three air defense missiles lies.
The field of air defense has always been the focus of the national defense of all countries, and no matter whether it is a big country or a small country, as long as it has a national defense plan, it will strive to build its own air defense network. However, not every country has the ability to develop air defense missiles, especially medium-range air defense missiles and regional air defense missiles.
In the future, in the international arms market, these three anti-aircraft missiles from Somalia will also be affected by this war. And more and more popular.
After the anti-aircraft missiles, the next squad may be without passion in the eyes of ordinary people. But in the eyes of professionals, these next squares. It is one of the main cores of a strong army.
With the truck as the turf, a huge flat plate is erected behind the cab, and under the earthy yellow camouflage plane radome is the Somali radar that professional military personnel of various countries are most concerned about.
The Somali War was the largest war in modern times, and its advanced equipment was extremely confrontational. In the absence of war, all countries can only obtain the performance of weapons and equipment through actual combat exercises. However, no matter how real the exercise is, it will definitely not be as effective as a real actual battle.
In the eyes of many, the war in Somalia is the most important basis for the correctness of modern military doctrine. Combined with the use of weapons and equipment on both sides on the battlefield, it is possible to deduce whether the direction of one's own country's defense industry is correct.
With the increasing number of fifth-generation fighter research projects, the news of the emergence of fifth-generation fighters in China, the United States, and Russia has also made the mainstream countries of the world hope to have a solid shield to resist the fifth-generation fighters of other countries in the case of developing their own fifth-generation fighters.
The Somali War was the actual combat battlefield with the largest number of fifth-generation fighters in history, at the outbreak of war. The fact that Somalia destroyed two F-22s that invaded territory has in itself made many countries interested in Somali radar. On the battlefield, the U.S. military's super-famous B-2 bomber also crashed in the sky over Somalia.
Radar manufacturing industry and scientific research laboratories throughout the world, as well as countries that are researching radars for stealth fighters. There is a great deal of interest in what kind of radar is being used in Somalia.
However, there is minimal information about the Somali radar, as is the mystery that has always shrouded Somalia. It's hard to find out.
Now the Somali side did not disappoint them, finally demonstrating the battlefield maneuver radar. But. When they tried desperately to discover the details of the radar, they were also deeply disappointed. Each unit of this radar is integrated. The data transmission and early warning devices are integrated in the fully enclosed square carriage, and there is no effective intelligence from the outside.
This radar momentum is the field mobile type of the radar of the defense unit, and as an important equipment for expanding the early warning defense circle, whether it is radar wave or electromagnetic wave, it is the core secret of the Red Guard Corps. Otherwise, these data will be passed out, and unless Li Lan changes the original radar operation data, it will be easy for the enemy to make deliberate preparations based on the radar signals.
Moreover, this field mobile radar is a passive search radar, and in the radar database, there are various electronic signal data of most fighters in the world, as long as the fighter reaches the radar warning range, and there are electromagnetic waves released on the fighter, it is difficult to escape the detection of this radar. This radar is also the same as the early warning radar of anti-aircraft missiles, and can be combined with the warning range of the base.
After the radar team moved away from the sight of the crowd, the next team was the battlefield communication support vehicle team, followed by the logistics support team.
Whether it is radar, communications, and logistics, they are all things that those insiders like to see the most; after all, no matter how advanced an army's weapons and equipment are, far from these three things, it is estimated that even 30% of the combat effect will not be able to give full play.
On the contrary, the enemy will always be in the leading position, and once the communication is cut off or the logistics cannot keep up, no matter how powerful the combat weapon is, it can only become the target of the enemy's superior weapon.
However, like radar, they really can't see anything of value just by looking at it from the outside. Commentators naturally cannot deny the actual role of the Somali army's performance on the battlefield, but the extent of its advanced level is what they most want to be supported by valid data. As a result, it turned out to be a pity that nothing was visible at all.
In the next team, there is the world of the missile team.
From the very beginning of cruise missiles, vehicle-mounted anti-ship missiles to surface-to-surface missiles, long-range missiles, and intercontinental missiles, it is the most perfect finale of this military parade.
The V-1XH supersonic cruise missile is the star of the Somali missile family in this war, and its supersonic cruise and supersonic empowerment attack performance have been directly rated by the "Global Defense Weekly" as the world's best cruise missile.
Because in order to achieve these two performances, it is necessary to achieve a range of more than 2,000 kilometers, and this kind of weapon, the whole world cannot find a third similar weapon. There is not much disagreement about rating it as the best cruise missile in the world. After all, in actual combat, the performance of this missile has completely shut up those different voices. Although it didn't have a big record in terms of results, it did show excellent performance in its class.
The other missile has demonstrated its value with a very good record, and the V-1FJ missile has built its own prestige with a Japanese Aegis ship and an advanced destroyer. Although it was fired from a vehicle, its record was enough to be proud of many similar weapons.
Japan's warships have also become a stepping stone for this supersonic anti-ship missile. Its future international market will also be included in the purchase list by more countries because of this war.
Missile squadrons passed in turn, and in the middle of these missile squadrons, the appearance of the V-1DD left everyone's eyes on one. Compared to the V-1DD record, none of the Somali weapons and equipment can match it.
No one will forget that the USS Bush is still under the tugboat of the United States, heading towards the mainland, and this sea giant full of holes will face the fate of having no choice but to dismantle it.
And the USS Bush, the most advanced of the US Nimitz aircraft carriers, was destroyed by this missile. In the intensive ballistic missile strikes, the Bush did not escape the devastating attack of the empowerment, even though it had reached a speed of 32 knots at that time.
Just four missiles hit a supercarrier of more than 100,000 tons into scrap metal. The theory and tactics of ballistic missiles hitting aircraft carriers have been most forcefully confirmed here in Somalia. The results of this theoretical tactic have made many countries in the world shine, after all, countries with a little ambition, or countries that strive for defense, will not give up this missile that can bring great deterrent capabilities.
If a coastal country has more than 100 such missiles, it is estimated that no matter which country has an aircraft carrier, it will not unscrupulously send an aircraft carrier to such a country to fight. And with a range of up to three laps of kilometers, it is quite possible to create a huge circle of defense. Let the aircraft carriers of other countries maintain a high level of fear.
This asymmetrical force is the favorite development direction of many economically difficult countries. If Iran has a certain number of such missiles, then the US aircraft carriers will still cruise in the Persian Gulf with impunity, and I am afraid that when the time comes, it will have to be cautious and cautious even when approaching the Arabian Sea.
However, the most intriguing thing is not this missile that strikes aircraft carriers, but the next three mysterious missiles.
The reason why it is mysterious is that the missiles can only be seen on the V-2 and V-3 on the round launch canisters on the huge truck floor.
In particular, everyone who watched this military parade is very familiar with the last Asian equipment team, just a month and a half ago, because Somalia test-fired this missile, which brought the war to the negotiating table.
Before that, no one knew the model of this missile, now everyone knows it, and outside the huge launch canister, the model sprayed with V-3 speaks for itself. According to the military parades of various countries in the past, it can also be seen that the V-3-painted ICBM, which appeared at the last stage, is the most deterrent weapon of the Somali Defense Forces.
However, between the two known missiles, the V-3 and V-1DD, there are two more missile formations, and the signals on them are V-2 and V-2X, apparently two mysterious missiles that have never been revealed. According to the length and diameter of the missile launch canister, many people have reason to believe that these are also two long-range missiles, although the range is not yet clear, but it is never much smaller than the V-3 launch canister to guess, it is also possible that there are two intercontinental range missiles.
Li Lan, who was standing on the observation tower, when he saw the missile team that appeared behind, was also very similar in his heart that the three teams behind him were nothing more than props he used to combine the virtual and the real, in his words: "Let others figure out everything, then I'm still a fart!"
