Chapter 261 Protest from John Country
In this front-line combat support against Shan State, the main force of John State is the 18th Regiment stationed in White Elephant.
The 18th Wing was also dispatched by John to the White Elephant Country to guard against the Restoration Army Air Force.
It has a total of 29 squadrons and more than fighter jets of various types.
Among these more than 300 fighter jets, there are a considerable number of Hurricane fighters.
This fighter jet is also the most advanced fighter jet currently developed by John's country.
As for jet fighters, the progress is still very slow and many problems have not been solved.
That's why John didn't put all his hopes on the jet project.
More advanced propeller aircraft are also being developed.
In terms of the performance of the Hurricane fighter, its low-altitude performance is very strong, and it is indeed a fighter with very good performance in this era.
But compared with top fighters like Thunder and Mustang, it is still a little bit behind.
The 18th Wing and the 56th Squadron flew to the Mandera area as usual.
The squadron's 12 Hurricane fighters were equipped with two 2 kg bombs under their wings for ground attack missions.
Because the Long Family Army was not equipped with aircraft, they had no need for air superiority, and they were mainly used to carry bombs to bully the Long Family Army.
However, John's Air Force also suffered casualties. So far, more than 30 fighter jets have been shot down by ground air defense fire.
This is equivalent to one-tenth of the 18th Wing's fighter jets.
Just as these 12 Hurricane fighter jets were crossing a valley and heading straight for the high ground where the Long family army was hiding, a cloud of white smoke suddenly emerged from the valley more than kilometers away.
At the beginning, Squadron 56 did not notice it.
They only discovered the abnormality when the SAM-2 surface-to-air missile with its tail flame was approaching them.
"Damn, what the hell is this."
"Jos, it's coming towards you, get out of the way!"
"God, it's too fast, I can't avoid it!"
"boom....."
A Hurricane fighter jet was turned into a fireball in the air before the pilot even had time to parachute.
The single-shot kill probability of the SAM-2 surface-to-air missile against jet fighters exceeds 70%, not to mention this low-altitude, low-speed propeller fighter.
It's simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
According to the Air Force's tests, even when facing an attack from a SAM-2 surface-to-air missile, the Mustang has a kill probability of over 87%.
"Here it comes, at 10 o'clock, it's coming again!"
"Damn it, the guys attacking us are at 10 o'clock, fly over and blow them up!"
The captain of the 56th Squadron suppressed his panic and gave the order.
The SAM-2 missile is much faster than them, with a terminal speed of up to Mach 4.
So these 20 kilometers are a dead end for them.
The only thing missing was that the SAM-2 missile battalion had only one FanGe fire control radar.
This guidance radar can detect targets within 70 kilometers and automatically track targets within 55 kilometers.
It can track six groups of targets at the same time and use three channels to command three missiles to attack one target at the same time.
Therefore, the entire 81st surface-to-air missile battalion can only attack one target at a time.
Although it has some flaws, it is very fatal to John's 56th Squadron.
"I can't hide anymore!"
When the pilot saw the missile coming towards him clearly, his pupils shrank and fear rose in his heart.
Without saying a word, he jumped out of the sky.
However, just as his parachute was opening, a SAM-2 missile hit his vehicle.
Countless shrapnel flew around like sharp blades, piercing his parachute into a sieve. He was also hit by several shrapnel and fell downwards at a high speed with his head drooping.
The warhead of the SAM-2 missile alone weighs 195 kilograms, and its killing radius exceeds 200 meters.
This thing is used to attack bombers, and the Hurricane fighter is just a small target.
The only hope of survival is to parachute out immediately upon seeing it.
Before they had flown many kilometers, they saw missiles coming one after another, smashing fighter planes into pieces.
Faced with the attack of this unknown air defense weapon, fear has spread in the hearts of every pilot.
Soon a pilot flew away in a Hurricane fighter jet.
But the SAM-2 air defense missile has a maximum range of 48 kilometers and a maximum firing height of meters.
Only two Hurricanes escaped. The 2st Surface-to-Air Missile Battalion launched 81 missiles in the first battle and shot down 10 enemy planes with a hit rate of 10%.
The reason for such a high hit rate is that the fighter planes of this era did not have jamming technology, and they didn't even know what it was.
Moreover, propeller planes are slow, and when faced with missiles attacking at Mach 4, they have no time to operate and react, so it is normal that the hit rate is high.
The 18th Air Wing was also very surprised that only two Hurricane fighters returned.
After questioning the two surviving pilots, they also learned an important piece of information.
The Fusion Army secretly joined the war!
And a new type of air defense weapon was used - a high-speed rocket that can track flight!
It is also called an anti-aircraft missile by John.
"Damn the Renaissance Army! I knew it was them!"
When John, the commander-in-chief at White Elephant, learned of this, he could not help but curse.
When the Renaissance Army got involved, the situation became much more complicated.
The only good news is that the Renaissance Army did not openly participate in the war.
Otherwise, what would come would not be anti-aircraft missiles, but jet fighters.
In the following air raid, John was obviously much more cautious, but it was still useless.
The three missile battalions of the 8th Air Defense Brigade are arranged in a triangle, with each battalion about 30 kilometers apart, able to cover the entire Mandela war zone.
However, in just three days, more than 70 fighter jets were shot down by John's country.
It's all thanks to the SAM-2 air defense missile.
The morale of the Long family army was also greatly boosted, and they launched another ground offensive.
A group of T-40 tanks formed a vanguard armored group and launched a fierce attack on the John colonial army's defense line in the Mandela area.
The shells fell like they were free, making the third brother scream in pain.
Because John had control of the air superiority, their artillery suffered heavy losses and they dared not show up later.
After being suppressed for so long, I can finally vent my anger, so naturally I start fighting.
With the addition of the 8th Air Defense Brigade, the Long family army regained its previous high morale, and John's colonial army began to retreat.
"Protest, we want to protest!"
This was the roar uttered by Lord Martin, John's ambassador to the ancient country, during his meeting with He Yujie.
"Oh? Protesting what?"
"You are supporting the Shan rebels in invading our territory and sending air defense forces to attack our fighter planes!"
Looking at He Yujie's calm face, Lord Martin said angrily.
"Where's the evidence?"
When He Yujie asked this question, Lord Martin was immediately speechless.
They really didn't have any evidence, but did they need evidence? Anyone with a discerning eye knew that only the Renaissance Army had this new type of air defense weapon.
This kind of air defense weapon is simply a killing god. Once you are targeted by it, there is no possibility of escape.
"We don't have direct evidence, but the anti-aircraft missiles that attacked us definitely couldn't have come from the rebels. Only your ancient country has them."
He Yujie smiled and said, "It's possible that he picked it up in the woods.
After all, the jungles in the north of Shan State are dense and mysterious, so it is normal to pick up some advanced weapons.
For example, the weapons equipped by our national defense forces were picked up from the mountains.”
Faced with He Yujie's jokes, Lord Martin was furious but helpless.
The National Defense Army is the new name of the Restoration Army.
On the day when the whole country celebrated, the Fuxing Army was officially renamed the Ancient Country National Defense Army.
At this moment, the Renaissance Army also completed its mission.
The Ancient Country's National Defense Army took over the banner of the Renaissance Army and embarked on a new journey.
"President, this is the report submitted by the Southwest Military Region. It's the summary report of the 8th Air Defense Brigade during this actual combat." (The title "Commissioner Z" is no longer acceptable. It's been reviewed three times, so let's change it to "President.")
In Yinian Hall, Jiang Hua took the report handed over by Eva and began to study it carefully.
As someone from modern time and space, he is very clear about the development of future weapons and is very interested in it.
Therefore, he also likes to read the summary reports of the actual combat of various new weapons.
Only from the summary report can we clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of this weapon.
After watching it, the soldiers said the biggest problem was the single fire channel of the SAM-2 air defense missile system and the small number of them.
A battalion has six launch vehicles, and it takes 10 minutes to load them.
It is very difficult to deal with a large number of propeller fighters.
Seeing this, Jiang Hua put down the report in his hand and picked up a new document on the table.
This document contains detailed data on two types of air defense weapons.
They are the SAM-3 and SAM-4 air defense missiles.
Among them, the SAM-3 air defense missile is an all-weather short-range surface-to-air missile, mainly used to intercept medium and low-altitude targets.
For example, propeller fighters, medium and low-altitude flying bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, etc. are all interception targets.
This air defense missile will also be added to the combat sequence of the Fuxing Army's division-level air defense forces and become the main force in the field air defense system.
In addition to the SAM-3, front-line troops will also be equipped with FIM-43 Redeye portable air defense missiles.
As for the SAM-4 air defense missile, it is an upgraded version of the SAM-2.
This is an all-weather medium and high altitude surface-to-air missile with a maximum range of 74 kilometers.
This missile will also replace the SAM-2 and be equipped in the army's air defense forces.
The feedback from the front-line troops will also lead to improvements in the organization.
Each air defense brigade still has three missile battalions under its command, and each missile battalion has three surface-to-air missile companies and one self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery company.
Among them, the launch company will be the smallest firepower unit, equipped with a guidance radar and three twin-mounted launch vehicles.
Such a missile battalion can attack three targets simultaneously.
Moreover, the ZSU-23-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun it is equipped with can also undertake air defense tasks to prevent air attacks during firing gaps.
这样布置下来全旅拥有27辆双联装发射车、24辆自行高炮、9部制导雷达、4部搜索预警雷达、1部测高雷达。
"President, good news! Our first fully domestically manufactured Mustang fighter jet has rolled off the production line."
Jiang Hua was shocked when he heard the news.
Although the Mustang fighter has been retired, it is not so easy to produce it independently.
