Chapter 599

E-8 combined star.

In the Gulf War, the US military invested in a support command platform. In the public information, there is very little introduction to this type of aircraft. People only know that there is such an aircraft, but they can't say what it does and what role it plays.

Compared with F-16, F-15, E-3, E-2 and other star airplanes, they are just as transparent and low-key.

However, such a water tight aircraft is the key to victory in the Gulf War. The reason for this is very simple, because this aircraft is the key node of the US air ground integrated warfare.

If the E-3 early warning aircraft is equipped with radar on the aircraft, it is used for accurate detection of air targets, so as to realize early warning and air interception.

Then, the E-8 joint satellite will focus on the ground, use the simple principle of standing high and seeing far to provide real-time adjustment, movement and deployment of enemy ground forces for army forces, and coordinate air support, firepower coverage and even necessary tactical nuclear strike of the air force to the army on this basis.

In other words, with the presence of the E-8 joint satellite, the U.S. Army will be able to achieve one-way transparency on the foggy battlefield. No matter how sophisticate and cunning the enemy is, the map of the U.

In the ground war in the late Gulf War, the US Army was astonishing. No matter how the Iraqi army adjusted and intercepted, the US Army was able to respond in advance and turn the so-called encounter into an effortless war of annihilation.

Why?

The E-8 United star in the sky has been hovering over the battlefield. Every move of the Iraqi army has long had a panoramic view. Do you want to ambush? Ambush? In the end, they were all played by the US Army as hamsters.

Because of this, in the summary after the Gulf War, people of insight in China compared the E-8 joint satellite to the multiplier of the US Army's ground power, which at least increased the US Army's attack power by more than three times.

Many military leaders in China are envious of this. A single plane can increase the combat effectiveness by more than three times. Who is not itching?

You know, under normal circumstances, if the combat effectiveness of the ground forces wants to reach multiple levels, they need to work hard in all aspects of equipment, personnel and training. This kind of investment is amazing.

Besides, the change of advanced tanks and armored vehicles is not a small number.

In contrast, with one or two airplanes and some advanced communication and electronic equipment, we can achieve the same goal, which is a very cost-effective business.

But what is the principle of this kind of aircraft, how the air ground contact is coordinated, how the node functions, and other details are not mentioned in the US military's public information, and even academic technical papers are secretive in this respect.

On the other hand, on the media level, in the face of the US air ground integrated warfare, the boast of joint operations has reached a peak, and even generated on this planet, except for alien invasion, no one can defeat the powerful US Army.

As a result, some media boasted that the US military could cope with two large-scale wars at the same time and win easily.

Because the technology of the U.S. military has reached the peak in human history, and even the U.S. military stands still and allows other countries to catch up. There is no need to think about it for 20 or 30 years.

Then there is a list of various technical terms, all kinds of strange abbreviations in English, which is called one after another. We can see that the domestic army leaders are in a daze, so they all begin to doubt whether they think about the E-8 joint star simply.

Until this exercise, I learned from the head of the headquarters that the airborne troops used a similar model. As for the effect, seeing that the Red Army played by the airborne troops quickly seized several key gaps under unfavorable circumstances, fought a wave of counterattack and successfully retreated, I knew that the effect was not generally good, but quite good.

So people who understand the principle of the E-8 joint star are not calm. Those who don't know about it, and who also know about it from other people, are also surprised.

Is there such a good thing?

However, the most shocking ones are those scholar officers who have studied foreign forces for a long time, because just now the head of the headquarters made it clear that the airborne troops use a civil aircraft.

Shouldn't such a high-end and high-grade operational key node be a dedicated military product? How could it be a civil aircraft? American strategic research journals, tactical academic journals, and various academic articles all say that E-8 United star is military confidential equipment, and each one is a cross era product invested by the United States, which can't be replaced at all Airborne troops can do it with a civil aircraft?

Those scholar officers were a bit confused. They only felt that their three outlooks had been subverted. After thinking for a long time, they could not think of a reason. So a scholar officer summoned up the courage to ask the head of the headquarters, "chief, you just said that the mini" United star "of the Red Army is a civil aircraft?"

The head of the headquarters turned his head and looked at the scholar officers behind him. He immediately understood what they were confused about. As soon as he was ready to speak, he heard a series of rapid footsteps. He turned his head and saw a tall officer in camouflage clothes and helmets running over. He came to the head of the headquarters and stood at attention. He gave a standard military strength: "report to the head Zheng Quanli, commander of the Red Army, reported that "please give instructions."The head of the headquarters nodded: "you've played a good game." then he gave way and said to Zheng Quanli, "some of our cadres have doubts about your application of terrain environmental protection integrated detector to guide ground operations. You can help to answer them."

"Yes Zheng Quanli replied at attention.

With a smile, the head of the headquarters pointed to Zheng Quanli and said to the scholar officers, "the actual user is here. He has a voice over everyone. If you have any questions, it's better to ask him."

An officer nodded quickly, and immediately repeated the question: "do you really use civil aircraft to guide ground operations?"

"Yes, three days ago, the terrain environmental protection integrated detector under Tengfei TONGHANG also helped the State Environmental Protection Bureau to carry out environmental protection exploration on the water systems around the capital, providing a large amount of environmental protection data for the State Environmental Protection Bureau.

This national defense mobilization exercise also recruited this aircraft. After simple coordination and modification, the communication system can be smoothly connected to our focus-2 UAV command and control shelter to form a relatively complete air ground contact system, so as to complete the installation of the air ground system Comrade Well leader? This is... "

Zheng Quanli didn't think much about it, so he didn't hesitate to say it, but when he said it, he felt that something was wrong, because the man in front of him suddenly straightened his eyes and turned white, as if he had been possessed by something. How could Zheng Quanli go on and quickly asked.

As a result, the scholar officer suddenly trembled: "simple modification, environmental protection civil aircraft, UAV command shelter It's so simple? "
