Chapter 233: Our Army's Biggest Shortcoming

"The biggest shortcoming is in land aviation. ”

Looking at Chen Tao without flinching at all, Li Mu first threw out a concise answer, and then began to answer in detail under Chen Tao's gaze: "Chief, you also said just now that air assault operations are a systematic combat project. ”

"I have to explain the term air assault. In the traditional sense, air assault refers to the combat operations of the air force to strike at ground and water targets, and the air assault mentioned by the air force is actually one of their ground strike tactics, similar to the assault charge of our infantry units. But what we're talking about now is air assault, and what the Air Force is talking about are two different concepts. We relied mainly on helicopter gunships from the Army Aviation to strike. ”

"In fact, it is not difficult to understand the 101st Air Assault Division of the US Army, from the perspective of force composition, the 101st Air Assault Division is the integration of infantry units and army aviation units. This integration is not simply the integration of personnel and equipment together to manage training, but the absolute organic integration, using the perfect command, communications, intelligence, and control system, that is, the so-called digital chain, to organically integrate each combat unit. For example, in our infantry, each soldier is a combat unit, which is organically stored in the whole system. The powerful combat capability of the 101st Air Assault Division of the US Army is maintained by relying on an advanced command, communications, intelligence, and control system, and it can even be supported by reconnaissance satellites and timely reconnaissance intelligence from aerial reconnaissance units at any time. ”

After a pause, Li Mu said, "I personally believe that it will take at least ten years for our army to initially have the combat capability of a system like the US military. At present, the construction of our army's army aviation units is still following the method of the last century's * 10 years, and is basically independent of the army, and we can actually notice a detail, and many of the pilots of the army aviation are still in the air force. To fully become a true army light cavalry, it takes more time for the army to fly. ”

Li Mu paused again, still unsatisfied, and said, "From a specific point of view, our army lacks professional armed helicopters, and there are two types of units equipped in batches, one is the Zhijiu, and the other is the Mikong Qiqi. The former is a French dolphin bought in the 80s, which was first bought for the navy as a carrier-based aircraft, and later went on land and imitated and improved, this toss is 20 years, and it is still constantly changing for production purposes, and it has not yet been named a new type of armed helicopter, which is actually very sad. Not to mention the seven meters of the rice bar, the only medium-sized transport helicopter that can be used in Maozi's inventory has also been used for 20 years, imitated and improved, and then improved and reproduced. Relying on these two outdated helicopters alone will not be able to support the army's dream of air assault in any case. Of course, we now also know that Wu Zhishi is in the intense research and development, and it is estimated that there will be another two or three years to equip the troops, that thing is the real armed helicopter, but the general helicopter is still blank, the civilian version of the Yankee Black Hawk bought in the eighties of the last century, the military industry has studied it for so many years, but no finished product has come out. In the final analysis, China's R&D capabilities in this area are still too weak. ”

His mouth was a little dry, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Including the quantity, not only the number of models is small, but also the number of equipment is small, why, because the production capacity of the Harbin plant cannot go up, I personally estimate that the army aviation unit needs at least 500 helicopters of various types to initially meet the demand." We can see that the army aviation regiment of our group army was newly formed, and it was only formed the army the year before last, and there are only about 20 helicopters that come and go; apart from the Wuzhi 9G, which is responsible for the task of striking at the ground, how many people can be loaded with more than 10 meters and seven units?

Saying that, Li Mu was also a little excited, his tone became more and more heavy, and the few brothers around him listened to it, and their mood was also heavy, the common people could sleep, but those who wore military uniforms should always stay awake, and they must be soberly aware of the gap between our army and foreign armies, but they can neither be arrogant nor arrogant.

"It is true that in terms of individual combat, our army will not lose to the US army. Li Mu continued, "A few years ago, our army began to pay close attention to military training, and this point, the experience of soldiers with more than three years of military experience is the most profound, and the most obvious change is that there are more bullets fired every year. What is the reason for this? The military budget has increased, and more money has been spent on military training, but it is still far from enough. Take airborne training as an example, once a year, and our third brigade is the first unit to be designated as a unit converted to air assault, so other units can be imagined. A week-long airplane landing training in a formed battalion, less than 10 actual plane jumps, plus a drill, will cost several million dollars in military spending. Modern warfare is fought with real money, and the modern army is smashed out of a large amount of silver. Chiefs, comrades, in the final analysis, I think the biggest shortcoming of our army is the lack of a strict military budget!!"

Li Mu was still unfinished, and said angrily, "If you add a little experience every year, some people will chirp crookedly, and even if the foreign media talk crookedly, there are also some well-known so-called Internet big V well-known bloggers, who close their eyes and say that our country is engaged in reckless military force, and they don't even understand the most basic common sense of nonsense, and my budget is not even 2 percent of the country's GDP! For those so-called well-known Internet V bloggers, my old Li will just say one sentence -- grass all your horses!"

"That's it!"

Chen Tao couldn't listen to it anymore, this kid's face was the same as Guan Gong when he spoke, and he was so excited, if those people were in front of him, he would be able to hold up 95 is a strafing shot.

"Sit down!"

Chen Tao glared at Li Mu, he was happy to hear it, but he had to teach Li Mu a lesson, "No. 1, you are still an angry young man in your bones." ”

"Report to the chief! Angry young people will mislead the country! No angry young people will lose the country!" Li Mu said with a stiff neck.

"Shut up!" Chen Tao said, "My question is what is the biggest shortcoming of our army in the construction of air assault troops, what are you doing with so many useful and useless things, and it seems that you are well-informed?"

With a vigorous wave of his hand, Chen Tao said, "This problem is over! You, including me, are only the smallest members of the national armed forces, don't be too ambitious, don't think about things that you can't control, recognize your own position, and strive to do what you should do well, this is to serve the country!"

Chen Tao sank his voice, "The starting point of the air assault force is on the five of you, you don't care if the planes of the army aviation are enough, and don't care about the lack of military spending, do the things that need you to do well, it's better than anything else!"

"Let's talk about combat thinking! Let's start with you!"
