"Yes, I'm sorry, sir, our mission is to disguise ourselves as robbers, hijack a C-17, take off, and then land in Yemen. You will be used as hostages. After being hijacked by the robbers, you will be thrown at the airport to delay the pursuers," Zhou Hengwen shrugged. , said helplessly

Driven by four Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 turbofan engines, the C-17 made a deafening roar, quickly climbed to an altitude of 6000 meters, and flew towards Yemen.

"Captain, come here and take a look," Carl said in surprise as he fumbled for the shape of the items covered by green cloth in the back cabin, suddenly realized something.

"Ok?"

"what?"

Zhou Hengwen muttered, stepped forward, fumbled with the green cloth, and used all his strength to pull the green cloth down. An Abrams main battle tank appeared in front of everyone, and there was a burst of surprise.

Zhou Hengwen quickly realized what was going on. During the previous vehicle training, he drove Abrams, Monkey T-72, and Leopard 2 on the Akina Mountains on Mahira Island every day.

Having said that, Zhou Hengwen had already opened the door of the Abrams main battle tank, got in and tried to turn it on.

After a while, Zhou Hengwen crawled out in frustration, what the hell!

It turns out that this Abrams main battle tank does not have Chobham armor or depleted uranium armor. It uses diamond armor artificially made in the laboratory. Together with 45 mm of composite agricultural armor, it is only 105 mm.

And a domestic military forum said that this armored Abrams main battle tank is worse than the monkey version of the T-72, and its only advantage is its movement speed.

Yes, Zhou Hengwen drove this type of Abrams during vehicle training on Mahira Island.

I don’t know what the Chrysler Company, which manufactures Abrams, thought, but came up with the idea of ​​using the hardest diamond as tank armor, and it succeeded.

The designer of Chrysler Company must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, Zhou Hengwen thought angrily.

It's too late to scold Chrysler's designers now. Now Zhou Hengwen and the others are thinking about how to drop this Abrams main battle tank.

As for whether the 181st Paratrooper Assault Company would complain about them, Zhou Hengwen had no time to care.

"Athena, when you were serving in the British Royal Marines, how did they usually air-drop tanks?" Zhou Hengwen shouted to Athena Dickens.

Hearing this, Athena's face suddenly became strange, and she whispered: "We are the Marine Corps, and we usually use amphibious tanks. We can't use main battle tanks like Abrams. Even if we have them, the Labor Party Congressmen will not allow us to buy such expensive tanks."

Zhou Hengwen suddenly realized that indeed, with the British military budget, it could not afford the expensive Abrams main battle tank. Even the British navy, which was the most specialized force, had its military budget cut by more than half.

I heard from Jin Er that the current Queen of the United Kingdom originally wanted to participate in the development of a super nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with them (referring to Noah's Ark Headquarters), but the Labor MPs in the British House of Commons rejected the plan for the absurd reason of insufficient workers' wages. .

As a result, they had no choice but to find France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Switzerland, five European countries, to jointly participate in the development of a super nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. I heard that Turkey and Israel also wanted to join, but they were rejected by the five European countries.

Going back to the original question, the question that puzzles Zhou Hengwen now is how to airdrop this Abrams main battle tank.

"Tie four parachutes?"

Li Minyu suggested that she had participated in the 2012 Red and Blue Military Exercise in Magic City. During the exercise, the scene where the Blue Army used an IL-76 transport aircraft to airdrop 59 tanks left a very deep memory in her mind.

As soon as the words came out, except Chen Huiyu, Zhou Hengwen and other ten people's expressions became very strange. Chen Huiyu quickly explained to Li Minyu, and then Li Minyu remembered that he was at sea now.

Do you want to use a parachute to drop a tank into the sea?

In addition, although the C-17 can fly to a depth of 200 kilometers inside Yemen, Zhou Hengwen planned to airborne around Mansoura in Yemen for this flight. He did not intend to go deep into the interior of Yemen to exchange fire with the Houthi armed forces from the beginning. .

"Then let's make an emergency landing?" Karl suggested, touching the armor of the Abrams main battle tank.

"Crash Landing" Zhou Hengwen was silent, looking at the C-17 deck under his feet, not knowing what to do.

In a desert where the C-17 was about to fly over, three Toyota pickup trucks and two trucks were parked here. A dozen masked men got out of the pickup trucks and lifted the green cloth on the two trucks. Two of them were fifty years old. The missile launch pad in front appeared in front of everyone.

The two missile launchers used fifty years ago are the Soviet SA-4 "Ganev" medium-range surface-to-air missile and the Soviet SA-5 "Gammon" long-range medium and high-altitude air defense missile.

If you are unfamiliar with the terms SA-4 "Ganev" and SA-5 "Gammon", then you must be familiar with the terms SA-4 and S-200 Vega.

The former was the first self-propelled surface-to-air missile adopted by the Soviet Union and the first to appear in the world. The latter was the Soviet second-generation anti-aircraft missile weapon and was heavily equipped by the Soviet Union. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia gradually retired the S-200 Vega. New missiles such as the S-300 surface-to-air missile have been put into service.

The s-200 Vega also has two "brilliant" records.

The first achievement was the Tu-154 passenger aircraft.

2001年10月4日俄西伯利亚航空公司一架图-154客机的从特拉维夫飞往新西伯利亚途中,在黑海上空,被乌克兰s-200织女星导弹营在“演习”中丢失了制定目标所发射出的导弹击中,机上78人全部遇难。

The first achievement was the Tu-22 bomber.

In 2008, during the conflict in South Ossetia, a Russian Tu-22 bomber was shot down by a Georgian S-200 Vega missile battalion.

If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time

Notes:

When the F-14 Tomcat was in service with the Navy, the U.S. Air Force and Army tried to design a land-based F-14 Tomcat, but failed.

Before the F-14 Tomcat was retired, in order to produce an upgraded version of the F-14 Tomcat (similar to the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet), the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and Army had a brief cooperation in an attempt to make the F-14 The Tomcat's avionics and engines were upgraded to create the F/A-14 Super Cat.

This cooperation was successful, and a large number of f/a-14d super cats did appear. However, the emergence of f-15, f-16, and f/a-18 made the status of f/a-14d super cats very embarrassing. At that time, the "enemy" also used F-14, so the plan was aborted.

However, the idea of ​​upgrading avionics and engines was inherited by the F-15, and various models such as Super Eagle, Electronic Eagle, and Judgment Eagle appeared.
