Chapter 442 - "Bamboo Dragonfly"

The ice-covered Siberia has a vast permafrost zone that has never thawed for millions of years. Low-level plants such as moss and lichen grow sparsely under the ice and snow. Life here is still difficult. No pop-up ads txt download

Under the warm sunshine, a huge shadow quickly passed over the ice and snow wasteland covered with moss, lichen and gravel. The air current sweeping like a tide blew up the low-level plants and countless small and large gravels and threw them around.

The noise of the four turbojet engines broke the long-standing tranquility of this land. Occasionally, a herd of reindeer was disturbed, running wildly with four hooves, and even racing with this shadow.

The behemoth with a wingspan of nearly thirty meters is only ten meters above the ground. The four engines eject powerful airflow, and the high-efficiency upward force generated by the wing-ground effect holds up the wings, flying along the flat terrain at high speed, showing A unique sense of lightness.

The earth shows more unreserved ambition than the sky, and feeds back a more powerful upward force without hesitation, making the utilization rate of the engine's output power much higher than that of other aircraft, effectively saving fuel, and obtaining more energy. Long battery life.

As long as the driver is willing, the ground effect aircraft can even rise to an altitude of nearly one thousand meters, but the fuel consumption will be greatly increased.

The transport cabin was filled with soldiers with live ammunition. Near the cockpit, wearing a dark "Dragon Guard" land and air tactical armor, Lin Mo sat among a group of "Dragon Guards" carrying an SVD sniper rifle. Among them, it seems a bit outstanding.

"Target shooting", "shooting soy sauce" and "shooting beans" are all synonymous here.

As expected, the newly arrived ground-effect aircraft of the air crew did not have the advantage of a large payload. It could fit two squadrons on it and travel thousands of miles, ignoring land and water. The fuel consumption was even higher than that of helicopters with the same carrying capacity. Lower, and flying at ultra-low altitude in the radar blind zone, it can also effectively avoid Russian radar scanning.

"Did you find anything? We are almost close to the target."

Lao Pan's voice came from the cockpit. Lao Pan of the air crew was responsible for driving this delivery.

"I saw it. It has a small white tail. It's a Global Hawk. 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. The ground effect aircraft was equipped with an optical frog eye system to lock on dynamic targets and provide clear optical images... No pop-up ads Full text txt download

The co-pilot clicked his fingers on the console a few times, and the display screen in front of him showed that two medium-range air-to-air missiles were activated, and they could be easily launched just by locking on the target.

The position of the "Global Hawk" is marked with a red line frame on the optical image, and the speed and altitude are also marked.

A pure white drone was hung tightly fifteen kilometers behind the ground effect aircraft. The laser ranging showed that at the five o'clock direction, the altitude was about 3,000 meters.

The product developed by Northrop Grumman in the United States is part of the "High-altitude Persistent Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration" program. The aircraft is equipped with three types of reconnaissance equipment: synthetic aperture radar, TV cameras and infrared detectors, as well as defensive electronics. Countermeasures equipment and digital communications equipment.

With the deployment of the US military, these things can be seen almost everywhere, even in the skies over China, and they have been shot down frequently in the past two years.

"Well, I saw it. There are no weapons loaded. It's probably just for surveillance. Don't pay attention to 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 aircraft. It was 80% that Lao America was observing this operation.

However, the cautious Su-27 will soon find it. The cost of each aircraft is 14.5 million US dollars, which the Americans can afford. In terms of military investment and waste, the US military can be called the record creator in human history. Breaking new highs that no one can surpass.

"yes!"

The co-pilot canceled the active weapon system, but still stayed on the interface to be activated, and could repeat the previous action at any time.

Some of the equipment loaded on this domestic ground-effect aircraft, nicknamed "Bamboo Dragonfly", is no less inferior to the American "Global Hawk". It has everything from synthetic aperture radar to the other side. When the other party discovers itself, it can also Found each other.

As a military tactical ground-effect aircraft, these reconnaissance and defense capabilities are necessary. Especially in a one-on-one situation, the firepower of this "Bamboo Dragonfly" is not even much inferior to that of a main battle tank.

"Forty minutes to reach destination, check the fuel again!"

The light spot representing the "bamboo dragonfly" kept moving on the electronic map. Lao Pan was mentally estimating the time it would take to reach his destination and the fuel consumption. This time he went alone into a foreign country, which was some kind of compromise between big powers.

In order to appease the anger of the Chinese, Russia did not clear out this stronghold. Instead, it allowed China's special service troops to enter the territory and launch retaliatory actions.

This kind of thing is not without precedent. For example, China and Russia cooperated in "anti-terrorism exercises". Under the guise of the exercise, each other allowed each other's troops to enter their own countries to attack the enemies that each wanted to eliminate quickly. There are more people under the si, who will allow division? The separatists are all fleeing everywhere regardless of the national border. The main reason is that the two countries do not deal with certain areas, but they also hate these separatists.

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

"Team leader, we found two Su-27s. The Russians showed up as expected."

Two small light spots appeared on the radar screen. According to the curved surface of the earth, two fighter jets appeared on the "Bamboo Dragonfly" radar, indicating that they were not far away. Before the co-pilot finished speaking, the same display screen represented "Global". The "Eagle" light spot turned away without hesitation at all, while the two light spots representing the Su-27 followed closely.

Obviously, the "Global Hawk" is not suitable for being disposable cannon fodder.

"Well! I saw it, they should have discovered us too." Team leader Pan said calmly. The more secretive this operation is, the better. The Russians are not coming for them, but they cannot take it lightly.

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

"Attention Third Squadron and Fourth Squadron, check your timers for the first time. We originally planned to arrive at the destination in forty minutes. We have to hurry up and speed up. We will arrive in thirty minutes. Check the equipment and make sure nothing is missing. May Lenin Bless you all.”

Russia is Lenin's territory. As the founder of the revolution, he is naturally obliged to protect these young revolutionary generals.

Thirty minutes flew by.

In an open space in a forest, the "Bamboo Dragonfly" finally lowered its landing gear. Major Chen Renkai, captain of the third squadron, and Major Zhang Zhenyu, captain of the fourth squadron, quickly jumped down with their soldiers, set up fire defense points, and released several reconnaissance The personnel began to explore the surrounding area to confirm the safe radius.

"Major Lin, you come down last and wait until we confirm it's safe!"

As a non-staff member, Lin Mo had to follow the instructions of the two squadron leaders. The "Dragon General"'s defensive power and tactical ability were excellent, but it did not mean invincibility.

If an anti-tank mine or any caliber artillery shell hits directly, even a cow will be killed. If such a thin defensive armor can even prevent these, applying it to a tank is not equivalent to practicing indestructible protection. Physical magic.

"The communication center has completed booting, now start connecting!"

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

"East, two thousand meters away, safe! Start reconnaissance to the south now!"

"To the west, three thousand meters away, safe! Turn to the north for reconnaissance!"

"To the south, it's 2,200 meters away. It's safe. Turn to the west!"

"To the north, it's 1,600 meters away. Damn it, why do I have to climb so high? It's safe! I still have to go north. There is no way to go east here."

There was a burst of laughter from the radio channel.

"Confirm the terrain and distance. The straight-line distance to the target is about 40 kilometers. We can only reach it on foot in the evening. It is recommended to bring a tent. The cold in Siberia will consume too much of our electricity."

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

The standard "Dragon Guard" land-based digital tactical armor has good temperature regulation performance, but it consumes a lot of vanadium batteries. If you maintain the lowest power heating function while maintaining combat, it can only guarantee a maximum of 12 After hours of fighting, fortunately, the human body itself can dissipate heat, and the heating function is limited to emergency use.

"The first round of reconnaissance personnel will stay and set up electronic reconnaissance nodes to protect the 'Bamboo Dragonfly'. The others will bring supplies and prepare to set off. 'Dragon Knight,' you can come down now."

At the hatch, the captain of the third squadron made a gesture to Lin Mo. Although Lin Mo was invited to come out for "target shooting" and the action plan was foolproof, Lin Mo's safety was still very important.

Lin Mo was currently adding the light mirror technique to his military telescope. Hearing the sound, he immediately joined the team with the sniper rifle he was carrying.

This was not the first time for everyone to fight in the wild, and they had rich experience. They did not need to explain too much to the two squadron leaders, and they quickly shouldered their own equipment and combat supplies and set off in formation.

As the team advanced in this primeval Siberian forest, they stepped on the unmelted snow, and the ground was covered with leaves that had withered for many years. Fortunately, the individual armor on each person was intact. It is a one-piece design, so you don't have to worry about snow water pouring into the shoes, but you can't avoid the slightest chill from the soles of your feet.
