Siberia has a vast permafrost zone that has not thawed for thousands of years, and some low-level plants such as moss lichens grow sparsely under the ice and snow, and life is still difficult here.

In the warm sunlight, a huge shadow flew across the mossy and lichen-covered wasteland, and the tidal current swept away the low-grade plants and countless large and small gravels and threw them in all directions.

The noise of the four-engine turbojet engine shattered the long-standing tranquility of the land, and occasionally the reindeer were alarmed, running wildly on all fours, and even racing against the shadows.

With a wingspan of almost 30 meters, the behemoth sits just 10 meters above the ground, and the four engines eject a powerful air current, which lifts the wings through the efficient upward lift generated by the wing-to-ground effect, and flies at high speed along the flat terrain, showing a unique sense of lightness.

The earth shows an unreserved mind that is more unreserved than the sky, and it does not hesitate to feedback a more powerful upward force, so that the utilization rate of the engine's output power is much higher than that of other aircraft, effectively saving fuel and obtaining a longer endurance.

If only the driver wishes, the ground effect aircraft can even rise to an altitude of nearly a kilometer, but the fuel consumption will be greatly increased.

The transport cabin was full of loaded soldiers, close to the cockpit, wearing a dark black "Dragon General" dual-purpose tactical armor, Lin Mo was carrying an SVD sniper rifle and sat in a group of "Dragon Guards", looking a little outstanding.

"Targeting", "Soy sauce", "Doudou. Here, it's all synonymous.

The newly arrived ground effect aircraft of the air crew really does not have the advantage of a large load, and it can be equipped with all two squadrons and go thousands of miles, ignoring land and water, and the fuel consumption is even lower than that of a helicopter with the same carrying capacity, and it can effectively avoid the radar scanning of the Russian side when flying in the radar blind spot at ultra-low altitude.

"Did you find anything? We're getting closer. ”

Lao Pan's voice came from the cockpit, and this time the transport was launched, and Lao Pan of the air crew group was personally responsible for piloting.

"See, a small white tail, it's a global eagle, do you want to shoot it down?"

The co-pilot saw a small bright spot displayed on the radar screen, and then adjusted the screen in front of him, and the ground effect aircraft was equipped with an optical frog eye system to lock the dynamic target, which could provide a clear optical image.

The co-pilot's finger clicked a few times on the console, and the display in front of him showed that two medium-range air-to-air missiles were live, and they could be easily launched by simply locking on to the target.

The position of the Global Hawk is marked with a red wireframe on the optical image, and the speed and altitude are marked at the same time".

A pure white drone was hung tightly behind the ground-effect aircraft at a distance of fifteen kilometers, and the light ranging showed that at five o'clock, the altitude was about 3,000 meters.

The product developed by Northrop Grumman of the United States, as part of the "Advanced Proof of Concept for High Altitude Persistence" (ACTSD) program, carries three types of reconnaissance equipment, synthetic aperture radar, television cameras and infrared detectors, as well as defensive electronic countermeasures equipment and digital communication equipment.

With the installation of the US military, this thing can be seen almost everywhere, and even the sky over China can sometimes be seen occasionally, and it has not been shot down in the past two years.

"Well, I saw it, there is no loading of weapons, it is estimated that it is just surveillance, ignore it, this is not our territory, the Russians will take care of this little thing."

Lao Pan glanced at the image, and the computer system immediately scanned the RQ-4A "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance plane, and eighty percent of it was Lao Mei who was observing the operation.

However, soon the cautious Su-27 will find it, the cost of 14.5 million US dollars each, the Americans can afford it, in terms of military investment and waste, the US military can be called a record setter in human history, constantly breaking new highs, no one can surpass.

"Yes!"

The co-pilot has canceled the JI weapon system, but it still stays on the interface to be ALIVE, and can repeat the previous action at any time.

Some of the equipment carried on this domestically produced ground-effect aircraft nicknamed "Bamboo Dragonfly" is in no way inferior to the Americans' "Global Hawk." "Synthetic aperture radar has everything, and when the other party finds itself, it can also detect the other party.

As a military tactical-level ground effect aircraft, these reconnaissance capabilities and defense capabilities are necessary, especially in heads-up situations, the firepower of this "Bamboo Dragonfly" will not even be much inferior to that of a main battle tank.

"Forty minutes to get to your destination and check the fuel again!"

The point of light representing the "bamboo dragonfly" is constantly moving on the electronic map, and Lao Pan is estimating the time to reach the destination and fuel consumption.

In order to appease the anger of the Chinese, Russia did not clear this stronghold on its behalf, but allowed China's special forces to enter the territory and launch retaliatory actions.

For example, in the name of the exercise, China and Russia have allowed each other's troops to enter their own territory to attack the enemy they want to get rid of.

To a certain extent, the "Bamboo Dragonfly's" route of movement is also monitored by Russia, and although the surface of the aircraft is sprayed with stealth paint, it can still be monitored by optical, magnetic and infrared reconnaissance equipment.

"Team leader, found Su-27, two, and the Russians really appeared."

Two small light spots appeared on the radar screen, according to the curved surface of the earth, two fighters appeared on the radar of the "bamboo dragonfly", indicating that it was not far away, the co-pilot's voice did not fall, and the light point representing the "Global Hawk" on the same display screen turned his head and left, without hesitation at all, and the two light points representing Su Yidao chased after him.

Obviously, the "Global Hawk" is not very suitable as disposable cannon fodder.

"We saw it, and they should have spotted us." Team Leader Pan said in a calm tone, the more secretive this operation is, the better, the Russians are not coming at them, but they can't be taken lightly.

If the Russians set their sights on this China's most advanced ground-effect aircraft, they will have to fight.

"Attention the 3rd and 4th squadrons, check your timers for the first time, the original plan was to reach the destination in forty minutes, we are going to speed up in a hurry, arrive in thirty minutes, check the equipment, there are no omissions, may Lenin bless you."

Russia is Lenin's territory, and as the grandfather of the revolution, it is natural that he has the obligation to protect them.

Thirty minutes went by in a flash.

In a clearing in a forest, the "bamboo dragonfly" finally lowered the landing gear, and Major Chen Renkai, the leader of the third squadron, and Major Zhang Zhenyu, the leader of the fourth squadron, quickly jumped down with their own soldiers, arranged a fire defense point, released several reconnaissance personnel, and began to explore around to confirm the safe radius.

"Major Lin, you come down last, wait for us to confirm your safety first!"

As a supernumerary, Lin Mo had to follow the instructions of the two squadron leaders, and the defensive strength and tactical performance of the "Dragon General" were excellent, but it did not mean that they were invincible.

If an anti-tank mine or any caliber shell or something hits directly, even a cow will have to hang, if such a thin defensive armor can even defend against these, it is not equivalent to practicing the magic skill of protecting the body of King Kong.

"The communication center is powered on, and now the connection begins!"

In addition to Lao Pan and the co-pilot, there are also two members of the air crew on the plane, who are responsible for turning on the communication system on the "Bamboo Dragonfly", providing communication support and maintaining the computer center environment.

"To the east, two kilometers away, safe! Now start scouting south! ”

"West, three thousand meters away, safe! Turn North Scouting! ”

"South, two thousand two hundred meters away, also safe, turn west!"

"North, 1,600 meters away, damn it, why do I have to climb so high, I still have to go north, there is no way to the east here."

There was a roar of laughter over the radio channel.

"Check the terrain and distance, the distance in a straight line is about 40 kilometers from the target, we can only reach it in the evening by walking, it is recommended to bring a tent, the cold of Siberia will consume too much of our electricity."

Another scout checked the coordinates of the satellite positioning while checking the terrain.

The standard "Longwei" land-based digital tactical armor has good temperature regulation performance, but the consumption of vanadium batteries is not small, if you maintain the lowest power heating function while maintaining the battle, at most can only guarantee the battle at the beginning, fortunately, the human body itself can dissipate heat, and the heating function is only limited to emergency use.

"The first round of scouts stayed, set up electronic reconnaissance nodes, protect the 'bamboo dragonflies', and the others brought supplies and prepared to set off 'Dragon Knight', you can come down. ”

At the hatch, the leader of the third squadron gestured to Lin Mo, although he invited Lin Mo to come out and "shoot the target." "The action plan is also foolproof, but Lin Mo's safety is still very important.

Lin Mo was adding light mirror to his military telescope at this time, and when he heard the sound, he immediately joined the team with a sniper rifle on his back.

It was not the first time that all of them had fought in the field, and the corresponding experience was very rich, and they did not need to explain too much from the two squadron leaders, and quickly carried their equipment and combat materials to line up.

As the team marched through this primeval Siberian forest, one foot deeper, one shallow foot stepped on the unmelted snow, and the ground was covered with leaves that had withered for many years, but fortunately, the individual armor on each person's body was designed in one piece, so there was no need to worry about snow pouring into the shoes, but it was impossible to avoid a slight chill seeping from the soles of the feet.
