Chapter 400： death indicator

The train entered the station, and the soldiers of the Fourth Armored Division began intense pre-war preparations.

The tank soldiers got off the carriage, climbed onto the flatbed at the back, disassembled the fixed devices, and then the tank crew climbed into the cab.

"Buzz, buzz." As a black smoke came out, the gas turbine was quickly started, and the driver stepped on the accelerator twice. He loved and hated this kind of engine.

In the previous diesel engine, it was necessary to preheat before starting. In the cold winter, it was very painful to start the engine. Sometimes it was necessary to ignite the engine below to bake the engine. And this kind of gas turbine, no matter how cold the weather is, as long as you turn the start knob, the engine can start quickly! This thing is simply too suitable for the cold winter!

However, the disadvantages are also so obvious. For example, the consumption of fuel makes the task of supplying the fleet quite heavy!

Don't have to think about it so much now, it's just an exercise, and the logistical fuel has already been prepared! The commander was instructed below, the driver pulled the lever, and the huge car body began to turn slowly.

Forward, backward, two come, the tank is already on the flatbed, it has become a horizontal arrangement, the tank operator slowly starts the tank, and after the track at the front end is suspended, it begins to gradually **** downward.

"Boom!" The front track touched the ground, and the back track was still on the flatbed. The entire car body was tilted, and the flatbed was also creaky because of the moment on the side.

Keep going! After walking a few meters, with a bang, the tank got off the flatbed!

At this time, all the tanks on the entire train were getting off the flatbed in this unique way, and soon, the tank troops gathered.

"All, gather at the predetermined location, orientation, 432, 567. The route has been issued."

All commands are issued through the digital terminal, and the route has been displayed on the in-vehicle information terminal receiver. This terminal has a larger monochrome LCD monitor produced by Toshiba, which can already roughly display the route map.

Assemble, start! The tanks and armored vehicles of the 4th Armored Division quickly assembled at the station and headed towards the exercise area according to the display on the vehicle terminal. On the way, they were constantly corrected by the navigation system.

Under the intervention of Andrei, the Soviet Union's electronic technology has made rapid progress, and various technical problems that have plagued them have been solved continuously, and new equipment has come one after another. In the past, it was absolutely impossible to obtain such advanced electronic equipment on the vehicle terminal, all of which were manufactured by large-scale integrated circuits!

At the same time, the vehicle's navigation system is also the most advanced, and the navigation signals are provided by the satellites overhead!

Generally speaking, when it comes to satellite navigation, one will think of GPS. This system was only completed and put into operation in 1994. However, in fact, the research on satellite navigation is much earlier than this time.

The predecessor of gps is a meridian satellite positioning system developed by the US military. This system was developed in 1958 and officially put into use in 1964. Working with a star network of 5 to 6 satellites, it circumnavigates the Earth up to 13 times a day. This system is crude, cannot give altitude information, and is not satisfactory in terms of positioning accuracy. Even so, the meridian system enabled the R&D department to gain initial experience in satellite positioning, and verified the feasibility of positioning by the satellite system, paving the way for the development of gps.

Under this system, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory launched a test satellite in 1967, 1969 and 1974, and initially tested the atomic clock timing system on these satellites, which is the basis for precise GPS positioning. In 1973, the United States formally established the plan of the GPS system.

In the Cold War, the United States had it, and the Soviet Union also had it.

In late 1960, the Soviet military identified a need for a satellite radio navigation system for the precise guidance of a planned new generation of ballistic missiles. Because the existing tsiklon satellite navigation system receiving station required several minutes of observation to determine a position, it could not achieve the purpose of navigation and positioning. In 1968, several institutes of the Department of Defense, the Academy of Sciences, and the Navy joined together to create a single solution for naval, land, air, and space forces.

In 1970 the requirements document for this system was completed. In 1976, the former Soviet Union issued a decree establishing glonass (global\\\'nayanavigatsionnayasputnikovayasistema). That is, the Soviet satellite navigation system.

In later generations, the glonass satellite constellation has basically been in a state of reduced efficiency, and only 8 satellites are fully functional One of the important reasons is that the lifespan of the satellites in this system is very short, almost It takes about a year. In this way, to complete the network, it is necessary to continuously launch satellites into the sky. In the Soviet era, they had a lot of money, but in the Russian era, they simply did not have the ability to continue to launch satellites to supplement the network.

Now, with the advent of advanced electronic technology in the West, the Soviet Union has made rapid progress in various aspects. This satellite navigation system has already launched six navigation satellites in advance, with a lifespan of more than five years. Moreover, a part of the ground receiver was also developed and given priority to the Fourth Armored Division.

This is an information and digital army!

Forward, forward! The 4th Armored Division came out of the station and started all the way. After a three-hour trek, they came to the exercise assembly area. At this time, there was already a huge army here.

The chariots roared and resounded through the Polish plains. This was a gathering of hundreds of thousands of troops!

"All observers, please pay attention to discipline. You must act within the observation area we set, and don't exceed the area. Everyone knows that every time we exercise, we have a certain death index." Andre smiled with a smile. Said to the observation group from the west.

A lot of military attachés and reporters came. The hospitality of these people was assigned to Andre. Therefore, Andre, the commander of the military region, has an additional task, which is to take care of these guys. The strength of the Soviet armed forces cannot allow these guys to spy on more Soviet secrets!

Andre's burden is very heavy, but Andre is more courageous. Seeing these guys, Andre's first sentence is the death indicator! Disobedient, you deserve to die! (To be continued.)
