Chapter 645: All-round display
Unexpectedly, a ceremony that was not a grand parade of troops was held, and many people couldn't help but stand up when they saw the neat troops appear in front of their eyes and on the viewing platform.
Iraq has never been more glamorous, nor has it ever been when international dignitaries and business teams have come together.
In the face of countless eyes from all over the world, the heavy troops of the Marin Division were displayed in an all-round three-dimensional way in front of the world for the first time.
A battle flag depicting a lion, and under a steel helmet, are a pair of determined eyes.
There were only three square formations of infantry, and the leader holding the battle flag walked at the front of the line.
Under the shooting of the all-round camera, the square team like tofu blocks, accompanied by passionate music, stepped on sonorous and powerful steps, and walked in front of everyone.
After the foot platoon, the warrior assault vehicle, then the anti-aircraft tracked vehicle and the multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicle, in the back of these two combat vehicle formations, a variety of different weapon modules are also displayed, there are vehicle-mounted anti-tank missile systems, land Aegis air defense systems, wheeled assault gun systems.
Dense convoys, not like a normal military parade, just a dozen vehicles are displayed, but a large group appears.
And the car was all loaded with live ammunition, but it was not a showcase.
The troops on display, the nearly 20,000 troops of the Marin Division, will make a trip, and as Idris said, after being reviewed, the Marin Division will immediately leave for a new battlefield.
Cai Ruichen is definitely not the kind of person who procrastinates with plans and strategies that can be completed as soon as possible, and if there is a chance to drive the Islamic State out of Iraq, he will definitely not let it go.
And now. ISIS is on the territory of Iraq. There is little strategic significance left. Al-Baghdadi is also beginning preparations for the withdrawal from Iraq.
At the scene in Marin Town, while inspecting the troops, the narrator was introducing the weapons and equipment in detail.
When introducing these weapons and equipment, the narrator did not forget to remind many times that the weapons and equipment owned by the Marin Division, which belongs to the combat sequence of the Iraqi Defense Forces, were all provided by the Future Technology Group for the Iraqi government free of charge.
Including the subsequent establishment of the Tikrit Division, all the cost of military equipment. It is also a free donation from the military industry of Future Technology Group.
The goal of the Future Technology Group is to completely destroy the extremist Islamic State forces, just like the Iraqi government.
The time it takes for an army of a heavy division to advance in the form of a military parade is not short.
However, the wide avenue reduced the whole process of the parade by a lot of time.
There were also hardly many trucks transporting soldiers in the ranks participating in the parade. All of them were armored vehicles, and the artillery was all self-propelled guns or rocket launchers. There are even three sets of regional anti-aircraft missile systems.
and a number of ground-based tactical anti-aircraft missile systems, all of which seem to be quite advanced weapons and equipment, and the intuitive feeling that everyone has brought to them is so strong that they almost completely overturn their impression of the Iraqi army.
The mental outlook displayed by the Marin Division in front of him, as well as the types and quantities of weapons and equipment, have all reached the world's first-class level.
Now, many people also have to sigh, no wonder the Islamic State, which has been arrogant in the Middle East for a long time, only lasted less than two months in the war for an entire province in the face of the army in front of them.
It is not that the ISIS forces have decreased their combat effectiveness due to the rapid expansion of their ranks, but that the opponent they face is not the usual army at all, but a team that seems to be able to compete with the world's first-class army.
Of course, no one knows if they haven't fought before, at least the team in front of them also looks a bit like a silver-like pewter spearhead.
"Paul, you said how much combat effectiveness such an army has, looking at those weapons and equipment, all of them are quite a bit of science fiction, and there are also some stealth designs in them, and the appearance gives people the feeling that they are more advanced than those weapons and equipment in various countries."
In the area of the American delegation, two military attachés from the US Embassy in Iraq stood together and watched the huge army passing in front of them, and St. John couldn't help but say when he saw the procession of various anti-aircraft missiles coming out behind him.
Originally, it would have been a very boring celebration for the two of them, and they wouldn't even be willing to leave Baghdad if it weren't for something that required them to come.
"You have to know that whether the weapons and equipment are good or not does not absolutely represent the combat effectiveness, and I also admit that the weapons and equipment in front of me are much better than our own equipment, but they have not been tested by the harsh battlefield environment, and how much combat effectiveness there is cannot be seen from the surface at all."
Paul shook his head, he also admitted that these weapons and equipment in front of him are very good-looking, if they are placed in the United States, this definitely represents the great progress of the American military industry in smelting and armor alloys, or in some equipment development fields.
It's like the reason why the current warships are all getting more and more beautiful, and these weapons and equipment in front of you all have a good stealth design, and you can hardly see any direct reflection surface of the radar, and when mixed with the complex ground environment, it can well avoid the sky or the radar on the ground.
But stealth is not only radar stealth, especially for ground weapons and equipment, infrared stealth is definitely more important than the appearance of the equipment itself.
Paul is a military equipment expert, and he was recently transferred from Washington to Iraq, and his main purpose is to study the weapons and equipment of the Future Technology Group.
And now, no matter what, Paul can also be sure that the weapons and equipment of these future technology groups in front of him all have their very advantages and characteristics.
But he still does not give a high evaluation, let alone compare with the weapons and equipment in service in the United States.
In fact, in the US military, all US soldiers have received another education, that is, they believe in their own weapons, believe that their country is the strongest, and believe that the weapons and equipment they use are the best in the world.
Paul is no exception, but he is much more sensible, in his opinion, the weapons and equipment of the US military have all been tested very harshly on the battlefield, and they have all been tested by many actual battles.
The most perfect combination of soldiers and weapons and equipment has been achieved, and every US soldier can give full play to the combat performance of his own weapons and equipment.
The US military-standard weapons and equipment developed on the battlefield are all specially developed by the US military for US soldiers in order to adapt to the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
