Siberia, with its vast expanse of permafrost, has not thawed for thousands of years
There are some low-level plants like mosxue lichens growing sparsely under the ice and snow, and life here is still difficult
Under the warm sun, a huge shadow flew across the snow-covered wasteland covered with mosxue's lichen and gravel
A tidal wave of air swept up the low-level plants and countless gravel, throwing them all around
The noise of a four-engine turbojet broke the long silence of the land
Occasionally, a herd of reindeer was startled and ran frantically on four hooves, even racing against the shadow
With a wingspan of nearly 30 meters, the massive object was only ten meters away from the ground
Four engines spewed out powerful air currents
Through the wing-ground effect, the highly efficient lifting force lifted the wings and flew at a high speed along the flat terrain, showing a unique lightness
The earth revealed an even more unreserved mind than the sky, and it was not stingy to feed back more powerful rising power, so that the efficiency of the engine's output power was much higher than that of other aircraft, effectively saving fuel, and obtaining further endurance
Only if the driver is willing, the ground effect aircraft can even reach a height of nearly one kilometer, but the fuel consumption will be greatly increased
The transport cabin was filled with armed soldiers
Near the cockpit, they were dressed in a dark "Dragon general" tactical armor for both land and air
Lin Mo was sitting in a group of" Dragon guards" with an svd sniper rifle on his shoulder, making him stand out from the crowd
" Target,"" soy sauce,"" bean
" Here, they are all synonyms
As expected, Air force unit's newly arrived ground effect aircraft had the advantage of not carrying a large load
It could fit both squadrons into it and travel thousands of miles, ignoring land and water, and its fuel consumption was even lower than that of helicopters with the same carrying capacity, and it was flying in a radar blind zone at very low altitudes
It could also effectively avoid russian radar scans
" Did you find anything
We're close to the target
" Old Pan's voice came from the cockpit
This time, pan, a senior member of the Air service team, was in charge of the delivery
" I see
A little white tail
It's a global eagle
Do you want to shoot it down
" The co-pilot saw a small, bright spot on the radar screen and adjusted the screen in front of him
The ground effect aircraft was equipped with an optical frog eye system to lock on the dynamic target, which could provide clear optical images
The co-pilot's fingers clicked on the operating table a few times, and the screen in front of him showed that two medium-range air-to-air missiles had been activated by jī, which could be easily launched with a target locked
The optical image shows the location of the" global eagle" with a red wire frame, as well as the speed and height
A pure white drone was hovering 15 kilometers behind the ground effect aircraft, and the distance was measured by a distance of about 3000 meters at five o' clock
The products developed by northrop grumman are part of the" advanced concept and technology verification of high-altitude persistence" (actd) program
The aircraft is equipped with three reconnaissance equipment: synthetic aperture radar, television camera and infrared detector, as well as defensive electronic countermeasures and digital communication equipment
Along with the us military's uniform, this thing was seen almost everywhere, even occasionally in the skies of china, which had been shot down over the past two years
" Well, I saw it
It's not loaded with weapons
It's probably just surveillance
Don't worry about it
This isn't our territory
The russians will take care of this little thing
" Old pan took a look at the image, and the computer system immediately scanned the rq-4a" global hawk" drone
It was probably the Old Mei that was watching the operation
Soon, however, the narrow-minded su-27 will find it
At the cost of $ 14
5 million each, the americans will be able to afford it
In terms of military investment and waste, the us military is the record holder in human history, constantly breaking new records, and no one can surpass it
" Yes
" The co-pilot canceled the j9I live weapon system, but remained on the j9I live interface, ready to repeat the previous actions
The domestic ground effect aircraft, called the bamboo dragonfly, carried some of the same equipment as the american" global eagle
" Synthetic aperture radar and everything, when the other party found out, they could also find the other party
As a military tactical ground effect aircraft, these reconnaissance and defense capabilities are essential, especially in the case of a single fight, the" bamboo dragonfly"'s firepower is not even inferior to a main battle tank
" Forty minutes to the destination, check the fuel again
" The light dots representing the" bamboo dragonfly" were constantly moving on the electronic map, and Old Pan was calculating the time to reach his destination and the fuel consumption in his heart
In order to appease the anger of the chinese, russia did not remove the stronghold by overstepping its duties, but allowed chinese secret service forces to enter the country and launch retaliation
Such things were not unprecedented, such as the" anti-terrorism exercise" between china and russia
Cooperation, in the name of exercises, allowed each other's troops to enter their own territory to attack the enemies they wanted to eliminate quickly
There were more in private
Those who allowed the separatists to disregard the borders and run around everywhere
The two countries were not able to deal with certain areas, but they were equally abhorrent of these separatists
To a certain extent, the route of the" bamboo dragonfly" was also monitored by russia
Although the surface of the aircraft was sprayed with invisible paint, it could still be monitored by optical, magnetic and infrared reconnaissance equipment
" Team leader, we found two su-27s
The russians did show up
" Two small dots of light appeared on the radar screen
According to the earth's surface, two fighter jets appeared on the radar of the" bamboo dragonfly," indicating that they were not far away
The two light dots that represented su yidao chased after them without hesitation
Obviously, the" global hawk" was not suitable for a one-time cannon fodder
" We saw it
They should have found us, too
" Team leader pan said in a calm tone, the more secretive this operation is, the better
The russians are not coming for them, but they can't be taken lightly
If the russians were to target china's most advanced ground-effect aircraft, they would have to fight
" Attention, third squadron and Fourth squadron
Check your timers for the first time
The original plan was to arrive at your destination in 40 minutes
We have to speed up in a hurry
We will arrive in 30 minutes
Check your equipment
Nothing is missing
May Lenin bless you
" Russia was Lenin's territory, and as the founder of the revolution, it was naturally obligated to protect these revolutionary generals
Thirty minutes passed in a flash
In a clearing in the woods, the bamboo dragonfly finally put down the landing gear
The third and fourth squadron captains, major Chen Renkai and major Zhang Zhenyu, quickly jumped down with their own soldiers, set up a fire defense point, let out a few scouts, and began to explore the surroundings to confirm the safe radius
" Major Lin, you're the last to come down
Let's make sure it's safe
" As an extra, Lin Mo had to listen to the instructions of the two squadron captains
" Dragon general" had excellent defense and tactical performance, but it did not mean invincible
A direct hit from an anti-tank mine or any caliber shell, even a cow, would have to be hung up
If such a thin armor could defend against all of this, applying it to a tank would not be equivalent to practicing the power of the king kong immortal body protection
" The communication center has turned on the phone and is now connected
" In addition to Old Pan and the copilot, there were also two Air force unit personnel on board, responsible for opening the communication system on the" bamboo dragonfly," providing communication security and maintaining the environment of the Computer center
" To the east, two thousand meters away, safe
We are now heading south for reconnaissance
"" West, 3,000 meters away, safe
Turn north to scout
"" To the south, 2200 meters away, and safe
Turn west
"" To the north, it's 1,600 meters away
Damn it, why should I climb so high
I still have to go north
There's no way to go east
" There was a burst of laughter on the radio channel
" Confirm the terrain and distance
The target is about 40 kilometers in a straight line
We can only reach it in the evening by walking
It is recommended to bring a tent
The cold in Siberia will consume too much electricity
" Another scout checked the location of the Satellite while looking at the terrain
The standard" Dragon guards" The land-based digital tactical armor has good temperature regulation performance, but the consumption of the vanadium-based battery is not small
If you maintain the lowest power heating function while maintaining the battle, you can only guarantee the battle at the most
Fortunately, the human body can emit heat, and the heating function is limited to emergency use
" The first round of scouts will stay, set up electronic scouting nodes to protect the' bamboo dragonfly', and the others will take their supplies and prepare to leave
" Dragon knight, you can come down now
" At the hatch, the third squadron captain gestured to Lin Mo, although he invited Lin Mo out to" shoot
" The plan of action was foolproof, but Lin Mo's safety was still important
Lin Mo was supporting the Light microscope technique on his military binoculars and immediately joined the team with a sniper rifle on his back
This was not the first time anyone had ever fought in the field, and they had a lot of experience, so they did not need to be told too much by the two squadron captains and quickly carried their own equipment and combat supplies
As the team marched through the virgin forest of Siberia, with one foot deep and one foot shallow, they stepped on the snow that had not melted, and the ground was covered with leaves that had been withered for many years
Fortunately, the individual armor on each of them was designed in one piece, so there was no need to worry about the snow pouring into their shoes
But there was no way to avoid a slight chill from the soles of his feet
