Chapter 646 Evaluation From the US Army

In Paul's view, no matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, if they are handed over to a group of pigs, they are still a group of pigs.

It is impossible for a group of pigs to beat a group of lions, not even a single lion.

But it has to be said that after the battle in Salahuddin Province, Paul refreshed his intuitive impression of the Iraqi army.

Not all of the troops in front of us have no combat effectiveness at all. When dealing with the armed forces of the Islamic State, they also played relatively well.

In his eyes, such an army deserves to be a strong army free from bureaucracy.

But if you want to compare the army in front of you with the US military, or with the world's first-class army, Paul is not optimistic about such an army at all.

"At least their teams are extremely neat up to now. I heard that before this, there has never been any rehearsal. If it is placed in our army, there is no army that can do it." St. John shook his head and said with some regret.

"Combat strength is not about parades and performances. We have never had a decent military parade, but do we need someone to prove our combat effectiveness?" Paul said with some amusement.

"I understand what you said, but I think, no matter what, such an army should not be underestimated. They are definitely more terrifying than the ace troops under Saddam's command." St. John said.

"Maybe, at least in terms of the overall force structure of the Marin Division in front of us, it has completely reached a world-class level. It has a complete armored force, as well as a theater air defense system and a battlefield radar monitoring system connecting the middle and far. It can allow ground troops to maintain theater air defense support for their own troops during rapid assaults."

Paul didn't refute St. John's words, but gently rubbed the beard on his chin with his fingers, and said slowly: "In terms of firepower, the organization with such a structure has surpassed that of one of our reloaders, especially the ground Artillery and long-range rocket launcher systems. Once our military faces such an opponent, it will be completely suppressed in terms of long-range firepower, which is not good news."

Just after Paul's words fell, there was a convoy of anti-aircraft missiles and long-range rocket launchers in front of him. is passing by in front of his eyes.

The next thing that appeared was the tank killer on the trailer, being towed by a heavy truck. The long gun barrel of the tank killer is even a little longer than the truck trailer.

The tall body rides on the heavy truck, which is a little higher than the front of the heavy truck. The self-propelled artillery weighing nearly sixty tons aroused huge cheers as soon as it appeared.

Especially the main gun with a caliber of 172mm on the tank killer.

On the ground, it is simply the level of a cannon.

This made Paul, who was born in the army, look at the neat rows of self-propelled artillery at close range. All felt a little chilly.

On the battlefield, especially the modern battlefield. In addition to worrying about snipers hiding in the dark, infantrymen also worry about precision bombardment guided by artillery drones.

You know, shelling in the current war environment. It's not the era of World War II when all can only rely on firepower groups to achieve lethality.

Instead, if a few soldiers get closer, they may attract a precision strike shell fired from dozens of kilometers away.

In the era of precision guidance, it is no longer an era where veterans are afraid of guns and recruits are afraid of guns, but everyone is afraid.

"How do I see it? Compared with Russia and China, the future technology group's thinking in developing weapons and equipment is simply far beyond that. In this era, such a large-caliber artillery has been produced. Isn't it a waste of firepower?" Paul was a little weird Said.

St. John said with some funny jokes: "Perhaps, they like the directness and violence of this army king, and watching the fierce artillery fall on the enemy's position can also improve the fighting morale of their own soldiers. The Iraqi army obviously This kind of morale is needed, and this kind of fierce artillery fire is needed to embolden the soldiers..."

"It's a bit funny, but I'm afraid in fact, it really needs to be like this. I really want to mourn for their opponents." Paul said.

When the two were communicating, the team had already come to the back, and there were also neat rows of heavy trucks, but this time the heavy trucks were not pulling self-propelled artillery, but all main battle tanks.

As soon as the Rhino main battle tank appeared on the stage, it once again attracted cheers from all the people in the square.

Although these crawler-type weapons and equipment did not pass by themselves, the narration has already explained that the Marin Division will immediately go to the northern battlefield, so the tanks are all towed by heavy trucks, not by themselves. .

And even though it is sitting on a heavy truck, the pressure brought by the huge body of the main battle tank is like an innate temperament, full of violence and strength.

This is the Iraqi government army purchased hundreds of Rhino main battle tanks, but the main battle tanks passing in front of everyone seem to have no end.

A simple comparison, that is, a little less than the warrior assault vehicle and those infantry fighting vehicles, but the number is very limited.

Because the team in front of me is a row of twelve heavy trucks driving side by side, and there is a tank behind each heavy truck.

Rows of tanks seemed to have no end, and the already long heavy trucks stretched the length of the team even more.

There are forty rows of such convoys, but it gives people a feeling of endless stretches.

"I heard that this tank is very useful." St. John said.

"Who did you hear that from?" Paul said.

"Didn't you see the report from the US military instructors and staff officers in the Iraqi Defense Force?" St. John said, looking at Paul's puzzled look, he said: "The instructors we arranged in the Iraqi government army , that is, the soldiers responsible for assisting the Iraqi army in learning to use the Abrams main battle tank submitted a report. They have driven this main battle tank many times, and they gave extremely high ratings to the operating system and fire control system inside. It even said that it is not inferior to our M1A2SEP at all..."

"I have heard a little bit about such a statement. In fact, the Ministry of National Defense has conducted many analyzes on this main battle tank. Based on the achievements of the Future Technology Group in the high-tech field, this Rhino tank is indeed An excellent main battle tank, excellent refers to the weapon system, as for other data, all are a bit mediocre, the power of the artillery and the protection performance have not reached the perfect level." Paul commented.

St. John said with emotion: "But this is enough for the Iraqi army. The most important thing is that they can equip more than 600 such main battle tanks in such a short period of time..." (To be continued .) to enable the new URL
