Chapter 817 The Dying Struggle

Ling Yu doesn't feel sorry for the drones, but if the drones lose too much, it will definitely affect the next action. We can't just let manned drones fly on top, right?

When more than half of the first group of drones were lost, the second group of drones finally entered the range of the thin light. More importantly, the missiles following the drones finally broke through the blockade of the thin light and successfully locked onto the enemy ship!

More than forty female fish missiles split one after another, and hundreds of fish missiles flew all over the sky; more than sixty Hidden Sword missiles exploded one after another, and a separated missile tail almost hit the drone... this thing The speed is too fast. Although the shape is not very good, the speed is much faster than the cannonball. Not to mention hitting the drone, even hitting the warship will leave a big mark.

The approach and explosion of the missile swarm was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Half of the more than a hundred alien warships were hit. Just a few seconds later, these alien warships lost their combat capabilities in a series of explosions, and the density of the thin light suddenly decreased. more than half.

The reason why it is not half is because after losing more than half, the remaining aliens have begun to panic.

The opportunity must not be lost and it will never come back. The drone swarm swarmed towards the remaining enemy ships, and the various missiles on board used all their strength to greet the alien warships as if they were free.

However, the human attack failed to crush the remaining enemies. The aliens immediately regrouped after the brief panic. They decisively abandoned the damaged ice ship and gradually retreated to regroup.

The group of drones that fought to the death moved forward indomitably, and decisively inserted into the group of alien ships at a rapid speed, but the aliens also knew the consequences of being approached by the drones. All the alien warships fought back desperately, and the thin lights came one after another. The alien fleet was shining brightly, and more than ten drones were hit by the thin light one after another. Some exploded on the spot, and some broke into two pieces.

At this point, all the first wave of drones were lost, and in the end only two drones successfully approached the enemy ship.

However, the desperate attack by drones also caused heavy damage to six ice ships.

At this time, the second wave of drones arrived. Under the control of the flight control system, more than 30 drones launched an attack on the enemy without hesitation - the drones were lifeless, but they were also members of the Third Fleet!

The remaining alien warships didn't even have time to take a breath, and immediately entered the first round of confrontation.

At this time, the second wave of missiles was not far away. Ling Yu wanted to order the drone swarm to retreat temporarily and attack again when the missiles arrived. However, before the order was issued, the drone swarm was already entangled with the enemy and there was no chance to retreat. Ling Yu could only give up this idea.

He sat in the chair with his hands crossed, stared at the screen silently for a while, and finally exhaled calmly: "Chief of Staff, let the aviation force come back."

"Huh? The fight isn't over yet!"

"It's okay, just call me back." Ling Yu said.

Although the battle is not over yet, the cooperation of drones and missiles has killed half of the alien fleet, and the remaining enemy ships will not be able to hold out for long. According to the current situation analysis, when the aviation troops arrive at the ground, the battle will begin. it's over.

Since the problem can be solved with drones and missiles, why put the aviation force at risk?

Wang Tianyu nodded, and after ordering the aviation troops to withdraw, he smiled at Ling Yu: "Commander, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive in a while, don't you need to do another job?"

"Why do you want to be a bandit?" Ling Yu glared at Wang Tianyu, "Being able to kill an enemy army is already an extraordinary achievement, so just give it up."

"I won't have this chance next time!"

"It's okay. If you don't have a chance, create an opportunity." Ling Yu smiled, "You don't know yet, but the aviation force's heavy fighters also have flight control systems, and they can be used as drones without a pilot."

There have always been voices within the military that aviation will be completely unmanned, but neither the navy nor the space fleet agree with this view. Aviation has always been an important part of the navy and space fleet.

Ling Yu has always been an old-fashioned conservative, but today's battle has caused some changes in his inherent views.

Comparing aviation and drones, we can find that

Although the aviation force has the advantage of mobility and flexibility, it also has the disadvantages of slow reaction speed and poor maneuverability. These two points are simply the Achilles heel in the ever-changing space operations!

Although the performance of the drones is not satisfactory, they can completely defeat the aviation force in terms of speed and maneuverability. He has begun to consider suggesting to his superiors that the space fleet be equipped with more drones to reduce the number of pilots.

Anyone who knows something about military affairs knows that the cost of training a pilot is far more than that of manufacturing a fighter jet. Although this comparison is not appropriate, the fact is before Ling Yu and cannot be denied.

This is not to say that pilots have no place to play. The flight rhythm in the atmosphere is not as fast as in space, but pilots are still competent. Furthermore, the flight control system of drones is too simple. If the task is too complex, the drone cannot perform it.

The military also has the argument for remote control of fighter aircraft, which is also an aspect of unmanned fighter aircraft, but there is no market in the space fleet.

To be honest, the Air Force and Naval Aviation can definitely develop remote-controlled drones, because the earth is only a tiny bit big, and it only takes a moment for the remote-controlled signal to travel from Antarctica to the North Pole, and the electromagnetic environment on the earth is relatively good, unless The enemy implements electromagnetic interference, otherwise the possibility of signal interruption is very small.

But what about space? The electromagnetic environment changes three times a day. Maybe it was fine one second, but the next second the solar wind will interrupt the communications of all warships. Not to mention the harsh electromagnetic environment of Jupiter, maybe even the people on the plane Electronic equipment can be destroyed.

Therefore, remote-controlled drones are only suitable for the navy and air force, not the space fleet. This is also one of the important reasons why space carriers are equipped with a large number of pilots.

However, habits and stubbornness can never change reality. Today's battle was a wake-up call to Ling Yu, reminding him that the Space Carrier needed to undergo an in-depth transformation.

Wang Tianyu suddenly exclaimed: "Commander, there's something going on!"

Ling Yu's eyes immediately moved to the screen, and then his eyes immediately widened, filled with disbelief.

Drones and missiles have just targeted the remaining ice ships. It only takes a little time for the third fleet to annihilate the remaining enemy ships and gain the favor of the goddess of victory before the enemy's reinforcements arrive.

However, the alien warships that were about to be destroyed were unwilling to give up. The warships that were already close to each other quickly gathered together. All the warships gathered tightly, using the outer warships as shields to withstand the human firepower. The entire fleet formed a dense devil formation. , the warships guarding the interior launched a counterattack against the incoming missile group.

Writing these things takes too much brain power. I kind of regret writing that space is so empty... In fact, it is really so empty. Why not have a few more asteroids?
