Chapter 30: The Shadow Warrior

Ten accounts for the truth-seeking. 【】The Army's advanced rearmament that began in the fourth fiscal year has been lost

When formulating the reform plan, Pei Chengyi emphasized the impact of the current situation on military construction, that is, military construction cannot exceed the bearing capacity of the republic, and no unrealistic military reform will achieve satisfactory results. As a result, the Army's rearmament and profit calculations are very "conservative." "The new address of this site has been changed to: just a mouth... οΌ˜γ€‚ Please log in to read the envoy!

Of course. This "conservative" is relative to outside estimates.

In the Blue Book of National Defense released at the beginning of the year, the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic stressed that the focus of military reform is the implementation of various advanced technologies.

This emphasis just shows the key to the reform of the army's equipment.

Objectively speaking, the reform of the army's armament is to fully digest and absorb all kinds of advanced technologies and make the best use of the technological achievements that have been made to improve the army's armament level.

Before Tian Nian, the most concerned was nothing more than the individual combat system known as the "Shadow Warrior" by the outside world.

As early as the year of the blade, the Western news media speculated that the Republic Army relied on advanced battery technology and material technology to develop an individual combat system with a primary artificial intelligence computer as the core, an electromagnetic rifle as the main battle weapon, and a cross-era significance. And based on speculation, the system has been given a very exaggerated name: Shadow Warrior. Because during the Indian War in the island year, an official of the Logistics Equipment Department of the General Staff of the Republic broke the ground that the Army was trying to equip the main field units with electric shock rifles, which was opposed by the Ministry of Defense. The news of not receiving the full amount of funding is so that the news media and military fans around the world think. The Army of the Republic is indeed working on a completely new system of individual combat. At that time, some so-called military experts also made a comprehensive analysis of the "shadow warriors" in combination with the scientific and technological strength of the republic. It is believed that as long as a breakthrough can be made on several key projects, it is quite possible that the project will make a breakthrough after the war in India, and the batch of combat units between the four will be equipped.

In fact, the republican army did not change the weapons in the hands of the infantry until the four knives.

Although some Western news media have concluded that the Republic has equipped the special forces with a variety of advanced individual weapons, including electric shock rifles, on the basis of the equipment of some clandestine special forces operating in the Ethiopian-Eritrean war, especially some weapons and equipment picked up from the battlefield by the ambushed US Marines in the Kululi ambush. To prove it. It also used some special ammunition selected by the US military to compare with the technical indicators of some electromagnetic rifles disclosed by the US Department of Defense a few years ago. In the end, it was concluded that those ammunition could only be used with electromagnetic rifles. Some fans of good things also estimated the main performance of the republic's electromagnetic rifles based on some of the data mentioned in the report, and finally came to the conclusion that electromagnetic rifles will completely replace traditional firearms.

In any case, no one denies that electromagnetic firearms are about to land on the battlefield.

If it is purely theoretical, it is about the year of Qiao. That is, after the advent of mouth-level composite batteries. The electromagnetic gun has the basic conditions to move from theory to finished product. At that time, an engineer of the Republic Ordnance Industry Association mentioned in an exclusive interview with the magazine "Weapons Knowledge" that based on the muzzle kinetic energy of ordinary firearms as four joules, only about 2 kilograms of mouth-level composite batteries can provide an electromagnetic rifle with about the same level as a beater's muzzle light rifle, as long as the quality control of the firearm itself can be within a reasonable range, the electromagnetic gun can be fully popularized.

Herein lies the problem, it is definitely not an easy task to keep the quality control of electromagnetic guns within a reasonable range.

At the technical level of about tooth years, the mass of a combat rifle is about 3 kilograms, the mass of a relatively bulky squad machine gun is also less than a decay kilogram, and the mass of even a general-purpose machine gun that is not popular with soldiers is less than 6 kilograms. With the further improvement of material technology, especially the advent of various high-strength alloys and composite materials, the quality of traditional firearms can also be reduced to about the edge. That is, even with a full load of ammunition, the mass of a conventional rifle will not exceed 3 kg. There is no doubt that the quality control of the electromagnetic gun is almost unthinkable even in the year of the cat. In fact. No country's army requires the quality control of electromagnetic guns to be less than 3 kilograms, and generally only requires the quality control of combat weapons to be within the range of long-term holding by infantry hands. According to the standards of the Easterners, the combat mass of the rifle is acceptable within 6 kg, while by the standards of the Westerners, as long as the combat mass of the rifle is no more than 8 kg, there is basically no problem.

It is precisely for this reason that when the Republic Army proposed the individual combat system in the year of the force, the mass limit of combat weapons was relaxed to 6 kilograms, and major bidders were encouraged to consider electromagnetic guns as much as possible when designing.

The fact is that in the round of bidding in Gu O's year, none of the manufacturers separately proposed to use electromagnetic guns as combat weapons.

The key is that the quality cannot be reduced.

The key reason why the quality cannot be reduced is that the basic principle is not up to standard.

In the year of the blade, the feasible electromagnetic gun scheme was the orbital addition method. And not the helix way. Because the projectile is in direct contact with the orbit, it will have a very serious ablation effect through the motorcycle. Not only is the life of the plus track very wired, but the internal trajectory of the hole is also very unstable. In order to achieve the minimum range of the army, it is necessary to use ridiculously long plus tracks. Makes firearms useless. According to a design plan of the year, in order to meet the basic tactical requirements put forward by the army, such as the barrel life of four kilograms. There is no doubt that this is certainly not a "gun" used by infantry, but a "cannon" used by combat vehicles

What can turn an electromagnetic gun from theory to reality is the spiral addition method.

Because the power utilization efficiency of the spiral plus system is not as good as that of the rail plus system, the requirements for power supply are higher, and a higher level of composite battery is required, so it was not until the old composite battery came out around the knife year. It was only when Lili began mass production that the design work of the electromagnetic gun was on the right track.

In the same year, the Republic Army once again put out a tender for the future individual combat system.

From the point of view of time. This certainly has something to do with the war in the Middle East. As early as the end of the Yingthug year, Ling Yunxiao, together with Li Dongshi, Jiang Wancheng, Han Shanbiao, and Wang Xueping, jointly submitted a report on the ground combat system to the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff Headquarters, and the Army Command.

As everyone knows. Ammunition is the main factor that determines the combat weapons of the infantry.

Knife century. The infantry firearms of the Army of the Republic mainly used 7 dragon concave mm intermediate guns. At the beginning of the century, the Republic Army began to fully adopt the Zhaoqin millimeter small-caliber gun cartridge, and issued a family of small-caliber guns including assault rifles, squad machine guns, carbines and sniper rifles.

After the South China Sea War in the Tame Year, the Republic Army finally understood why the U.S. military had removed all combat guns that used small-shot light rifle cartridges and equipped its troops with 7-millimeter NATO standard rifle cartridges. The reason is very simple: the end power of a small-caliber bullet is seriously insufficient, and when the range is too small, there is no accuracy at all, and if the carbine with a short barrel is a carbine, the effective range is even more difficult than a strong meter. Although the trade millimeter bullet is slightly better than the falling millimeter bullet, and the jungle areas of Laos and Vietnam have a large limit on the distance of engagement, the problems exposed by small-caliber bullets in actual combat still make the army unbearable. For example, in the Nong Hei Blockade Battle, there were many cases in which the Vietnamese army was shot and still did not fall to the ground, while the sniper rifle using concave mm bullets only needed a hand-caliber bullet and the main background of the appearance of the intermediate power bullet was the shortening of the combat distance. After World War II, the former Soviet Union suffered a bullet wound of 2 millimeters of intermediate power bullets, and on this basis, designed a series of assault rifles, that is, it was believed that in actual combat, the combat distance of infantry was rarely more than that of Gamm, and there was no need to use more powerful full-charge rifle cartridges.

In the middle of the force century. There is nothing wrong with this view.

By the introduction of the century. As the combat environment and equipment performance improve, the infantry is getting farther and farther away. For example, in the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, the US military has come to the conclusion that most of the combat distances are above the meter, and the maximum effective range of the gun is only as many meters, and considering the influence of wind deviation, the actual range of the old one is less than a young meter, and only the range of the paste sniper rifle and the general-purpose machine gun using the drop of millimeters of bullets exceeds the meter. In the Afghan war, some US soldiers even bought optical sights out of their own pockets, so in the case of sufficient firearm performance, the infantry has the ability to accurately shoot at a single target beyond the meter.

Affected by this. In the regimental year, the Republic Army entrusted the headquarters of the Southern Firearms Industry Group to be located in Chongqing, and was later acquired by the Zhongzhong Group to open a "kind" of "Liyao Combat Guns" because the combat environment became more and more complicated. The requirements for soldiers' combat skills are getting higher and higher, and soldiers are becoming more and more sophisticated in the use of firearms, and it is difficult to use one kind of bullet to meet the needs of left and right combat. Therefore, the army then changed its requirements, that is, according to different combat environments, several calibers of guns and ammunition were fired. After provoking efforts, the force fell into the year. The Southern Firearms Industry Group suddenly came up with a "bullet family" composed of three caliber bullets, including 4 flying millimeters, cutting millimeters, and 6 meters of mouth, of which the former is mainly used for individual self-defense weapons. The latter is mainly used for long-range precision shooting, while millimeter bullets are standard infantry combat weapons and ammunition.

There's no denying it. The "Bullet Family" design concept was a great success.

In the years that followed, several arms enterprises of the republic successively issued several individual weapons based on the new ammunition. It was also favored by the Republic Army, including gangster individual self-defense weapons, flying combat rifles and squad machine guns, and high-precision rifles of the Feather series.

In the conflict in southern Tibet in the year of the blade, an army unit was equipped with new firearms.

The question is. The conflict in southern Tibet was very short-lived. The new individual combat weapons did not get a chance to be stunned in actual combat.

Until the Indian War in the Year of Liwu. The Republic's individual weapon system has had a chance to make its debut, and it has withstood the test of actual combat, proving to be a successful weapon system. In the Ranchi Blockade Battle, the short-barreled paratrooper combat rifles in the hands of the officers and men of the Airborne Combat Brigade were slightly longer than the carbines specially assigned to the special forces, and had enough power and accuracy, surpassing the American-made firearms equipped by the Indian army.

It was in this way that in the years that followed, firearms produced in the Republic began to be exported in large quantities.

Four, the Rotten Flying Millimeter Bullet Mu Millimeter Bullet and the Mouth 664 mm Bullet were identified as standard caliber bullets by the intensive group, and were fully promoted within the group.

Of course. There is no such thing as perfection in the world.

During the war in the Middle East, the performance of the guns of the Republic Army was severely tested, especially when it was fighting with the US and Israeli armies, and the self-defense weapons of the officers and men of the equipment support brigade were very seriously challenged. You know, both the United States and Israel have enough capital to equip the infantry with protection systems.

Although the Flying Millimeter bullet can cause fatal damage to the human body after penetrating the field Kevlar bulletproof fibers equivalent to the U.S. military-grade protection level at a distance of a meter, the penetration ability of the self-defense bullet is a problem when facing individual protection resystems that have reached the U.S.-level protection level, such as a bold vest with high-strength ceramic plates, or a helmet pressed with high-strength alloys and composite materials.

It can be said that this is also the place where the officers and men on the front line criticize self-defense weapons the most.

Relatively speaking, the power of the heart mother millimeter combat bullet and the Gu Cong millimeter sniper bullet has been affirmed, especially the use of two kinds of bullets, the former is mainly used to deal with a single target within the persuasion meter, and the latter is used to deal with a single catty target outside the blade o meter, which can receive the best effect.

Of course, the biggest problem with these two "high-power" guns and ammunition is that the quality is too heavy and the amount of individual ammunition is very limited.

According to the combat establishment of the Army of the Republic, the rifleman carried 8 quick magazines and boxed ammunition with a total mass of kilograms, the machine gunner carried 62 old O cartridges and boxed ammunition with a total mass of kilograms, and the precision rifleman carried four boxes of ammunition with a total mass of old kilograms. Although this is 3 days of ammunition consumption, in the heat of battle, this ammunition does not even last a minute. If you fight by car, the problem is not so big, since more ammunition can be placed inside the vehicle. However, in mountainous areas and narrow urban lanes that are difficult for vehicles to reach, the problem of low ammunition carrying capacity is very obvious. According to what happened to the 10th combat unit during the attack on Abakir, many times it was because of the lack of ammunition and did not give up the attack. The First Combat Unit also had to avoid areas inaccessible to vehicles while sweeping the mountainous areas of southeastern Turkey, thus endangering the safety of the troops' march.

In general, the riveting bullets that were stereotyped in the year of Ying, have not been very suitable for the war of the year of the fierce thugs.

Of course, Ling Yunxiao's joint letter with several generals is also related to the arms group. You must know that guns are not fighters of the Air Force, warships of the Navy, and combat vehicles of the Army, but the most basic combat weapons in the hands of soldiers. Although the front-line combat strength of the Republic Army has been reduced to 10,000 blades, the number of guns in the Republic Army exceeds that of 10,000 thugs, of which about 10,000 are equipped with front-line troops, that is to say. Almost 2 sticks per person. The problem is not only that, guns and ammunition are matched, and guns and ammunition are large-scale consumables, even in peacetime, the army will consume a lot of guns and ammunition in daily training, so the army will keep a large stock. For example, in the year of electricity, there were about 100 million millimeters of ammunition in the warehouses of the Republic Army, and the three ammunition companies had to produce ammunition every year in order to keep the most important skilled workers. As a result, if the army wanted to reload, it would have to dispose of all the ammunition in its inventory and fill the ammunition warehouse with new ammunition, thus generating a lot of profit for the arms dealers. According to conservative estimates, the total investment in reequipping the Republic Army with all guns and repurchasing ammunition will not be less than 100 million yuan. If the supporting industries are included, the total social output value created is even more than the falling yuan.

If the conditions were not ripe before that. After the technical difficulties have been overcome, there is no longer an insurmountable difficulty in changing clothes. More importantly, in order to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, especially in large-scale wars, it is necessary to give full play to the combat potential of the soldiers and provide them with better combat equipment. As the Republic's defense spending began to grow restoratively, military spending became more relaxed. There is no reason for the Army to continue to cut back on food and clothing, and it can procure new equipment according to actual needs.

It is precisely for this reason that the Republic Army officially launched the research and development program of the "Future Individual Combat System" in the same year.

In fact, this is what the Western news media speculate about as "shadow warriors".

Of course, compared with the year of the blade, after years of old technology precipitation, the future individual combat system has been improved a lot, and it is not just as simple as an electromagnetic gun.
