Chapter 635: Open the can

Once upon a time, the natural enemy of the tank was still the enemy's tank, but with the development of weapon technology, the natural enemy of the tank has now become a thing that can carry anti-tank weapons such as helicopters.

For helicopters, which are technical weapons, the general main battle tanks, especially during the Cold War, have almost no good means of confrontation, after all, countries vigorously develop armed helicopters to target the opponent's armored forces.

Although the four UH1 Huey helicopters of the Chadians are all second-hand, the weapons on board are not second-hand, but BG71 Tao anti-tank missiles, the power of this thing, the Libyans have learned before, and none of the tanks they are equipped with can effectively resist the attack of this thing.

This is true for tanks, not to mention those infantry fighting vehicles.

These African helicopter squadrons, which are formed by laid-off and reemployed pilots from the United States, can actually be regarded as foreign garrisons in a certain sense, because they have no labor relationship with the Chadian army, and they will not take money from them, let alone obey orders.

In fact, now in the whole of Chad, the only one who can command them is Hannibal on the front line of Fada.

After receiving the order to dispatch, the four Huey helicopters immediately set off from the field airfield in the rear and joined the battlefield without delay.

"Tsk, these guys are defenseless!"

"I didn't see self-propelled anti-aircraft guns either, what the hell did these Libyans learn from the USSR?"

The pilot had now seen the convoy moving on the road in the distance, and about a few dozen trucks and infantry fighting vehicles were forming in a circle, lined up at the end of the road.

Libyans are keeping infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles on the perimeter and vulnerable trucks inside, while Libyan soldiers are loading trucks with supplies that they can take away and burning those they can't. Look at the book

For the arrival of helicopters, the Libyans did not have the slightest preparation.

"Attention all aircraft, give priority to attacking infantry fighting vehicles, be careful of the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, we are not sure if the Libyans have anti-aircraft artillery, so, everyone pay attention to themselves!"

As soon as the captain of the helicopter gave the announcement, the weapons operator in the co-pilot began preparations for launch.

Like the ground-launched Tao missile, the air-launched Tao missile also has a whole set of procedures to go through, but fortunately, there is no need to manually load and unload the launch canister, because the helicopter is directly equipped with a group of missiles on each side according to the pattern of three groups, so the shooter can quickly shoot all six rounds.

The shooter first looked for a suitable target through helicopter viewing, and he set his sights on a BP2 infantry fighting vehicle, which was firing in the direction of the city, and the automatic cannon sprayed billowing smoke and dust, dropping bullet casings on the ground.

After the enemy was swooped, the shooter aimed the cross-sight signal at the center of the infantry fighting vehicle and pressed the fire button.

Then the missile power source began to ignite, and a Tao missile flew out of the launch canister, which first fell a little distance in the air, then the engine ignited, the tail fin deployed, and the missile continued to move forward, and then the warhead safety was released, so that the missile would explode after hitting the target, instead of poking it in the face like a stick.

The rocket engine accelerates from 65 meters per second to 860 meters per second, which is actually the speed at which the missile is about to hit the target.

The Libyan infantry fighting vehicle was unprepared and stopped in place until the warhead of the Tao missile slammed into the middle armor of the infantry fighting vehicle.

Violent explosions and fires appeared, then vanished, leaving only the terrible wounds in the armor.

After being hit by a missile, the BP infantry fighting vehicle was silent for a few seconds, and then, the flames suddenly erupted as if they were about to erupt, and all the gaps in the entire combat vehicle were spraying flames, and after burning for more than ten seconds, the infantry fighting vehicle exploded very suddenly, and the entire hull was torn apart by the detonated ammunition, and the turret flew into the sky like a rocket, and then fell heavily on a truck.

The truck was smashed to pieces, and the ammunition and other supplies it was loaded with fell to the ground.

Next!"

Watching their target explode, the shooter only felt enjoyable, and at the same time, other helicopters also destroyed their own targets, the charge of the Tao missile is not small, and the armor-piercing depth is about 430 mm, and the armor of the BP infantry fighting vehicle can not be 400 mm thick, no matter how you look at it, there is no resistance to the armor-piercing jet of the missile, once it is penetrated, an extremely tragic explosion will immediately occur.

Those missiles are like hot knives cutting butter, and there is no such thing as an obstruction!

Soon another missile flew out, this time targeting the BP1, whose main armament was not a 30mm automatic cannon like the BP2, but a 73mm smoothbore gun that fired armor-piercing shells and anti-tank grenades.

After this missile hit the target, it did not explode like the first car caught fire first, but directly exploded, because the weapons are different, so the internal structure of the turret is also different, the automatic loader under the BP1 turret is full of anti-tank grenades and armor-piercing shells, and after the jet penetrates the armor, it directly detonates the ammunition, and after the explosion of this BP, it also piggybacks on several Libyan infantry on the near side, and they are blown out by the air wave like broken dolls.

Because of the poor information perception, the Libyans, who had lost eight infantry chariots, still did not find out where the enemy was attacking, and those infantry chariots that were not destroyed moved quickly and released smoke grenades at the same time, trying to cover the battlefield and protect their side, but the smoke grenades lasted only a few minutes, and the helicopter could wait in the air.

The Libyans who were attacked accelerated their retreat, but the speed of the evacuation of the infantry vehicles was naturally not as fast as the speed of the missiles, and soon several more vehicles were destroyed in the process, and the members inside did not even have a chance to escape, and were directly killed in the vehicles.

If you're lucky, when the flames of the car are completely extinguished, people can still find a trace of human coke in his place.

It can be said that these helicopters are just happily opening cans from afar, and the Libyans can't reach them at all, whether it's anti-aircraft machine guns or other firearms and weapons, they can't threaten helicopters at an altitude of several hundred meters or a few kilometers away, but helicopters can use missiles to torture and kill each other to their heart's content.

At this moment, more than half of the Libyans' infantry combat vehicles have been lost, and they are still being destroyed, and even the commander's car has not been spared, and it has been directly blown up into the sky by missiles.
