Chapter 227 Predators

You should know that the HAP support air combat type is not only good at air combat, but since its model name has the word support, it naturally also includes providing close fire support for ground troops. While the HAP support air combat type can snipe at distant specific targets, because of its high shooting accuracy, it will not cause too much collateral damage and innocent casualties.

In addition to the combat missions on the surface, the leader of the team also quietly told the drivers the real inside story of Gaul's rapid dispatch of troops this time.

The leader of the team had to tell the drivers the inside story.

There have been incomprehensible air strikes on ML before, and it is not known what the weapon platform loaded with missiles is.

Judging from the absence of traces of the airport, the enemy is unlikely to be a fighter jet, and more likely to be an armed helicopter.

Therefore, pilots must be mentally prepared to engage in combat with enemy gunships.

Hearing that they may be attacked by armed helicopters from unknown forces, the first reaction of the pilots is not to worry and fear, but to be happy—most soldiers are aggressive, and almost all soldiers are happy to use helicopters with better performance than the enemy. Weapons to fight.

Tiger HAP support air combat gunships are designed to gain an air combat advantage, and in theory, if you don't consider using air-to-air missiles for combat, then all other types of active gunships are not Tiger HAP support air combat Type gunship opponent.

But the theory is just theory after all, Tiger HAP support air combat gunship has not proved itself in actual combat.

Now that there is an opportunity for actual combat, the drivers really want to create this history, so they all set off with excitement and hope.

The cockpit of the Tiger gunship is more like a fighter jet than a helicopter.The stepped cockpit provides better forward visibility from the rear seats, with the driver in the front and the weapons controller in the rear.Both operator seats are equipped with the same display and control unit, but the flight control seat also has a head-up display.

Along the way, the driver and weapons controller were concentrating on carefully observing the data outside the window and various instruments. They all very much hoped to be the first to discover the enemy in the air and then fire the first shot in actual combat.

Suddenly, a weapon controller uttered an exclamation.

"God! Missile!"

The team members shouted hoarsely in the chat channel.

"Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy?"

……

Only these few words were heard in the headquarters, and then only the rustling sound remained in the communication equipment.

There was silence in the headquarters.

This is a very incomprehensible thing.

Like the pilot under attack, command had no idea who the enemy was or where it was.

Armed helicopters are low-altitude overlords and are not easily detected by radar.And ML itself does not have a complete radar monitoring system, so the headquarters did not use radar to track Tiger helicopters.However, at this moment, the highest person in charge in the headquarters felt a pain in his heart.

If we had known this earlier, we should have strongly urged the country to send early warning aircraft to participate in this operation—although Gaul has only four E-3F early warning aircraft, one radish and one hole, it may not be possible to send them out.But if there is the participation of early warning aircraft, even if this operation fails, at least it is possible to find traces of the enemy.Instead of being like now, the entire army was wiped out without even finding the enemy.

The Tiger helicopter was destroyed without even being noticed by the enemy. What does this mean?
Could it be that the enemy launched an attack outside the radar detection range?

Otherwise, is the enemy's stealth technology much more advanced than the Tiger gunship?

But these two possibilities all prove that the enemy is much more advanced than Gaul in terms of technology, and how is this possible?

Finally, the sobbing sounds of the female staff members broke the silence in the headquarters.

……

The domineering behavior of M country and other countries against Zhenzejing Company has been a recent news hotspot.But after four Tiger HAP support air combat gunships were shot down, the headline position was finally firmly occupied by the latter.

Gaul only vaguely declared that it would never forgive the enemy for the baseness of undeclared war, but said nothing further on the official level.

The reason for restraint is that Gaul has not yet unified its thinking.

Gaul is very convinced that there must be a powerful country behind this incident.But who this country was, Gaul could not tell.

According to the analysis of the existing information, this despicable enemy hiding in the dark corner has extremely high-tech weapons.Gaul has not yet analyzed and understood whether this incident was an ultra-long-range missile attack, or a breakthrough in a certain country's stealth technology.

……

Gaul is one of the five permanent members and has one veto.ML is Gaul's traditional area of ​​interest. Without Gaul's consent, it cannot issue decrees through the United Nations to combat the rebels or the Uighurs.Therefore, many countries that think they are qualified have communicated with Gaul in private, expressing their willingness to provide support.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world.Other countries know that Gaul inexplicably lost four Tiger HAP support air combat gunships in ML, so they are eager to get first-hand information.

In the end, Gaul chose several countries with good relations such as country M to form a joint investigation team.

Gaul does not trust country M unreservedly, and it should even be said that the country Gaul is most suspicious of is country M.

Because the attackers this time had an absolute advantage over Gaul in a certain field, even if they were not far ahead of Gaul in terms of technological level.From this perspective, the United States is naturally the most suspicious.

Although country M is on the same front as Gaul most of the time, it is not uncommon for allies to be stabbed in the back.So, who can guarantee that this time it is definitely not a secret move by country M?
No motive?After the truth of the matter is revealed, the motive will naturally be known!
Therefore, although the suspicion of country M cannot be ruled out, Gaul still accepts country M to participate in the joint investigation.

After the M country participated in the joint investigation, it acted very quickly, and soon sent a Predator B drone task force to ML.

The "Predator" UAV can take off on roughly prepared ground, and the typical takeoff and landing distance only needs to be about 667 meters.After making the corresponding preparations, the "Predator" B-type drone carried 8 "Hellfire" anti-tank missiles into the air and flew to the Pengdu tribe.

Under normal circumstances, the operator is not allowed to observe the operation of the drone.But since it was a joint operation this time, and Gaul was still the host in a sense, the remote control of the ground working group accepted the Gauls watching.

Gallic intelligence officers were suspicious when they watched the images that the Predator drones beamed back to their ground stations.
