Chapter 1178 - Kill Him with Money!
From the launch of the Hawk missile to the almost total annihilation of the air strike formation composed of twelve Apache attack helicopters of the Hydra Eagles, the process took less than five minutes.
Twelve Hawk medium-range anti-aircraft missile systems completed the launch of twenty-four missiles in the space of one minute.
And that's just scratching the surface.
In order to be able to achieve accurate interception, Enron's department played a crucial role. The Hawk missile system is already a product of the eighties of the last century, although it is still a sharp weapon, but it is already old, especially the active homing performance, it is basically difficult to deal with the current advanced fighters. You must know that the Apache attack helicopters equipped by the Hydra Hawk are new models that were equipped with the troops only ten years ago.
For large equipment such as fighters, tanks, and warships, most of them have been in service since the initial model and have been improved one after another, and the products of ten years ago are already very, very new.
In order to shoot down as many air targets as possible with the fewest missiles, Enron's department put a lot of effort into guidance. They use high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance and early warning aircraft to continuously illuminate the target, and at the same time, the fire control radar on the ground ventures to turn on and constantly update the target's parameters.
Through a special data link, the command and control center transmits it to the seeker of the Hawk missile in a timely manner, and continuously trims the target parameters.
Even, if necessary, Enron's department was able to switch to manual guidance and forcibly add new data to guide off-target Hawk missiles to attack new targets!
Such combat capability is difficult to achieve even for a professional unit that has been trained for a long time, let alone a grass platform team that has been set up temporarily.
And the reason why Li Mu attaches the most importance to the department led by Enron is here, without the strong support of communications, reconnaissance and intelligence, it is basically impossible for him to fight a beautiful battle. Modern warfare is about technology and logistical support, and in the absence of short-handed combat, what we are fighting for is whose combat system can operate more efficiently.
In this regard, the Hydra Army, which is supported by the United States and Israel, will not be much stronger, and in some respects they are even completely behind the Herdsmen. Although many people do not want to believe it, it is a very obvious fact that behind the Mujia Army is the Saber Regiment.
Wade had asked people to find out which side of the military base was occupied by the Shepherds, but for now, he didn't have any useful information. Of course, no one will believe that it is the Syrians, who cannot even build a railway.
At the Tiger's Den Base Command and Control Center, Li Mucao picked up the microphone and said, "The air defense department has done a good job, and I will praise it verbally once." ”
As he spoke, the first salvo of Zhang Rusong's long-range artillery group had already begun. Each Tornado has 12 tubes and can be fired at three-second intervals, which means that after the 12 Tornadoes fired 12 rockets in the first round, the rockets fired in the second round were almost the same as the first round.
Li Mu asked for a battalion of Tornadoes, and Kolevsky finally got him four companies, that is, twelve Tornadoes, and all the ammunition required on Li Mu's list.
The first round of spare ammunition was all rockets carrying incendiary submunition warheads.
A rocket with a caliber of 300 millimeters, thicker than an adult's thigh, the weight of a rocket has reached 800 kilograms, 1,600 catties, almost the weight of an adult scalper.
The 12 Tornado rockets fired a salvo in 38 seconds, that is, all the launchers fired all 12 spare bombs. Immediately, the retired personnel from the artillery units of the Chinese Army began to load the launcher with great skill, and they were able to load the rockets needed for the second salvo in half the reload time.
The Eagle's Nest base does not have any anti-aircraft weapons that can be used against incoming rockets. They are armed with ground-based phalanxes, as well as anti-aircraft missile systems supplied by Israel, however, those things have never had a successful precedent for anti-rocket projectiles.
The BM-30 "Tornado" multiple rocket launcher, Kolevsky sold to Li Mu for 10 million US dollars, including various ammunition and maintenance equipment, and providing technical support and other after-sales services. This price is basically equal to the price of vomiting blood.
India's three purchases of the Russian Tornado, bought 36 sets and spent $450 million, and did not include follow-up after-sales or anything. However, Indian Ah San is usually a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and there is no money for those who are stupid. It's not comparable.
However, Kolevsky did not buy these tornadoes directly from manufacturers, and he could not do such direct transactions. Buying from an intermediary, and I don't know how many hands changed in the middle, as a result, Kolevsky generally sold it to others for 30 million dollars a set, and ammunition was not included!
What is the price of ammunition?
The price of the incendiary submunitions demanded by Li Mu is $300,000 each, which is one! And it is a friendly price! Li Mu asked for a base number in one go! In addition to this, there are also terminally guided precision munitions, anti-armor submunitions, and ground-penetrating rockets with a certain ground-penetrating function that can carry out precision strikes on bunkers!
All in all, Kolevsky looked at the prices at the back of the slippery list, and then at the final count, and he had the idea of fainting again. The money went out in a hurry, and the purchases were sent out one by one, all of which were rushed to supply, for which there was a rush fee. The expedited fee and shipping fee alone are a lot of money.
The money on the books of his international trading company is falling in a mountain stream. He really wondered if it would be worthwhile to pay such a large price in exchange for a three-year bulk buying mission for the Abu Dhabi Defence Exhibition.
However, no matter what he thought, he couldn't get off this boat, and he was destined to be the logistics minister for Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't care about these, he only focused on the effect of the blow.
The two sets of "Arrow" air defense missile systems at the Eagle's Nest base have started to work, and Wade begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother that these two sets of things are worth more than a billion dollars, and he hopes that these precious things can play their due role!
However, he quickly had to take refuge in the underground backup command and control center.
The rockets, which swooped down like locusts, flew at great speed in the sky that had begun to pull down the black curtain, at intervals of three seconds, with twelve rockets in each wave, and within half a minute, one hundred and forty-four rockets struck.
It was also up to Wade to use an anti-missile arrow-to-air missile worth several million dollars to deal with a rocket that costs only $300,000 a piece. Even if the two "Arrow" air defense systems were to be fired at full power and hit 100 percent, there would be no way to withstand such a dense attack.
There are more than a hundred rockets that have successfully penetrated the air defense network of the Hydra Force!
They arrived over the Eagle's Nest base, and according to the predetermined input procedure, the warheads began to separate, hundreds of incendiary bullets scattered, and then the Celestial Maiden scattered like flowers, smashing into the Eagle's Nest base at a near-vertical angle.
This is a real saturation blow.
