Chapter 1688 Airborne Mogadishu
The sudden war in Mogadishu stunned everyone in the city.
This kind of war is not simply firing a few shots, nor is it a small armed conflict, but a double strike using fighter jets and missiles.
This involves one of the simplest issues, that is, the value relationship.
A missile is expensive, and the cost of dispatching fighter jets is not small. Mogadishu is completely worthless for developed countries to launch such an attack.
All the armed forces were also battered, the base camp was attacked, and without any warning, most of the people were asleep, and they suffered heavy losses for a while.
The air strike stopped for a while, and just when everyone thought it was over, the following scene made everyone's faces very ugly.
In the sky, the roar of fighter jets subsided, but what followed was a more dull sound.
A huge sound descended from top to bottom with a bang. In the city, everyone could feel the rumbling sound coming from the sky.
This kind of sound is not the sharp whistling sound of fighter jets, but the majestic and majestic sound, which belongs to the sound produced by the large transport aircraft fleet and the roar of air oscillation.
In the deep night sky, the huge global transport plane and the Kunpeng transport plane almost covered the entire sky over Mogadishu.
Looking from the ground, you can vaguely see the outline of the huge fuselage, and a large number of lights flickering in the sky, obviously it is the transport plane above, and the fuselage light control has not been carried out.
Under the shocked eyes of the people below, they vaguely saw a large number of umbrella flowers falling from the sky, almost all of which were heavy equipment.
Huge Grizzly main battle tanks slid down from the Kunpeng transport plane one by one. The two-stage umbrella flower has a total of eight parachutes, supporting the body weighing nearly 38 tons. The ranging radar sensor on the landing is continuously calibrated With the distance from the ground.
The parachute control chip also keeps adjusting the angle and orientation of the landing, and slightly adjusts the direction of the parachute according to the pattern matching data to prevent the tank from directly hitting the roof or landing in an area where it cannot be fought.
Urban tank parachute is a very demanding field. There are no high-rise buildings in Mogadishu. Most of them are two- to three-story houses, and a few have five or six-story buildings.
And such a structure,
It is impossible to stop the impact of the tank falling directly from above, but the same is that the tank is very likely to be buried and cause innocent casualties.
Therefore, the armored soldiers need to adjust the location of the airborne landing in the city. It is best to land on the flat ground or on the road, but the people in the tank cannot see the situation below. The adjustment of the parachute needs to rely on the computer and the terrain matching system to complete. .
At the same time, the ranging radar will also play the most critical role. When the tank is close to 100 meters above the ground, the buffer device on the parachute will be opened to further reduce the impact of the tank and the ground contact, and reduce the speed and strength of the fall.
This is not to be afraid of damaging the tank, because the tank has a parachute. Basically, as long as the parachute is safe, the speed at which the tank falls will not cause the tank to suffer too much impact damage.
However, the members of the tank were parachuted down together with the tank. Unlike steel devices, people are very fragile. Therefore, the speed of the tank's descent needs to be further slowed down.
When each Grizzly tank was hundreds of meters above the ground, the four boosters installed on the parachute on the upper part of the tank opened, and the rising force brought by the ramjet interacted with the falling force of the tank, and the speed of the tank suddenly increased again. Descending, the pressure on the parachute was relieved a lot.
And the sprayed tail flame also quickly travels thick smoke on the ground, which is also a function of the propeller. Although the flame will expose the target of the parachute at night, the thick smoke effect can better cover the tank and armored vehicles landed on the ground.
During the time covered by the thick smoke, the members of the tank can start the tank engine calmly, get out of the fixed position, unlock the landing device, and then quickly enter the combat state.
The thick smoke effect can also cover the infantry and other light vehicles that descended from the parachute.
When grizzly tanks appeared on the streets of Mogadishu, the armed personnel in Mogadishu hadn't reacted yet.
After all, such a scene was too unfamiliar to them, so no one knew what to do next.
However, when a large number of paratroopers came down from the sky, many armed groups also began to react, and the battle broke out immediately.
It's just that when they thought of attacking, they had already missed the best time to attack. The paratroopers who came down from the air had already untied their parachutes, and quickly assembled to the front, ready for ground combat.
The fierce battle started immediately in Mogadishu. A large number of paratrooper chariots, coupled with the Grizzly main battle tank, spread almost all over the city. It can be said that almost every corner of the city is a battlefield.
And today's Mogadishu is also very suitable for parachuting. There is not much airflow, and the parachuting troops are evenly assembled together. It is rare for soldiers to leave the original landing site because of the airflow.
The armed personnel in Mogadishu have also fully reacted at this moment. There are shouts everywhere in the city, and a large number of weapon warehouses are opened. One by one, Somali youths in short-sleeved shorts receive weapons and ammunition. Running to the street, all kinds of armed pickups and rocket launcher trucks also came out of the garage, and various shouts could be heard everywhere.
At this moment, they already knew who the airborne person was, and the logo of the Middle East Federation troops was very clear.
What they don't understand is why the Middle East Federation suddenly took action against Mogadishu. After they can't figure it out, the rest is to fight.
In any case, the Middle East Federation troops parachuted over, and they definitely did not come here for sightseeing.
On the streets, a large number of armed men shuttled through the alleys. They had thin bodies and dark skin. They held simple handmade AK rifles in their hands. Some of them carried rpg and bullet strips on their backs. Some machine guns are even rusty.
This is the weapon with which they survive, and what they will face is a truly powerful army armed to the teeth.
When all the infantry parachuted down, the last heavy infantry that appeared also began to airborne. The entire first brigade of the airborne division, with a complete establishment of more than 8,000 combatants, all entered the city of Mogadishu. What they faced It is several times the number of armed personnel.
