Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

More than ten days ago, Fan Yingming's Leopard Field Army Armored Column, Xiao Zhanwu's Missile Column and Liu Yalong's Aviation Column played hide-and-seek with Russian Manrek aircraft in Laohegou and Shaguoyao.

Three Blackbird reconnaissance planes belonging to Omanrick were hovering in the sky like ghosts. Carrying sophisticated reconnaissance equipment, they conducted a meticulous aerial examination of Laohegou and Shaguo Kiln. No detail escaped their "eagle eyes".

Just as these reconnaissance planes were about to end their reconnaissance mission and prepare to evacuate, the air defense battalion in Laohegou suddenly attacked. Three air defense missiles cut through the sky like angry lightning, accurately hitting an enemy plane and instantly wiping it out of the sky.

Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft usually scan the ground at an altitude of more than 25,000 meters, have a certain stealth performance, and are extremely fast. It is already very difficult to shoot down one with a missile.

In the past, in order to deal with this kind of high-performance reconnaissance aircraft, it was necessary to dispatch several faster and more maneuverable unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and through clever tactical coordination, form a double-team and shoot it down by the "plane-to-plane" method.

This not only requires extremely high control skills, but is also a contest of wits. The probability of success is so low that one cannot have higher expectations.

However, through the efforts of our scientific researchers, a new tactical weapon came into being - unmanned impact aircraft.

This aircraft abandons the traditional reconnaissance module and replaces it with powerful explosives.

They are specifically designed to perform ramming missions and do not require direct contact with the target aircraft.

When approaching an enemy aircraft to a certain distance, the warhead equipped with a proximity fuze will explode, releasing destructive energy, enough to destroy the enemy aircraft in an instant.

This tactic not only improves the success rate of shooting down drones, but also greatly reduces the loss of our own drones.

This time only anti-aircraft missiles were used, and no ramming aircraft were used. The two reconnaissance planes were deliberately let go to allow them to go back and deliver false information.

When Omanrek's headquarters received the heavy reconnaissance report, a staff officer frowned and carefully studied every piece of data. Then he looked up and looked at General Durres with a firm gaze and raised his question:

"General Durres, judging from this reconnaissance report, the defense of Laohegou seems to be more stringent, and anti-aircraft missiles are deployed there. However, Shaguoyao did not make any comments. Does this mean that the reconnaissance intelligence we obtained from the Plaster Country was wrong, and Laohegou is the real enemy position?"

Faced with the staff officer's questioning, General Durres did not answer immediately, but slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a cunning and profound smile.

He shook his head slowly and said in an almost confident tone:

"No, no, no, what you saw was just the side that the People's Liberation Army deliberately showed us. I have every reason to believe that Laohegou is definitely not their real position.

Just imagine, if Laohegou was really their core position, then their air defense missiles would never be deployed there.

After all, these missiles have a range of hundreds of kilometers, so there is no need to place them close to the protected target.

Therefore, I firmly believe that the Plaster Country’s reconnaissance results are correct, and the Casserole Kiln is their real weak spot.”

It is common sense that due to the development of weapons, modern long-range air defense missiles are usually not placed together with the protected targets, but are deployed at a certain distance.

This is because long-range air defense missiles have a long range, reaching tens or even hundreds of kilometers, so there is no need to place them close to the protected target.

On the one hand, the deployment of missiles must take into account the coverage of possible threat directions to ensure a quick response when the enemy attacks.

You cannot be too far away from the target, otherwise you will not be able to provide effective air defense protection for the target.

On the other hand, the deployment of missiles also needs to take their own safety into consideration to avoid being destroyed by enemy firepower, and even more so, they cannot affect the protected objects when they are destroyed.

If you stay with the protected target and when enemy planes attack and you need to change positions after firing a batch of missiles, and you are with the target again, wouldn't it be easy to cause chaos?

Therefore, in actual combat, long-range air defense missiles are often deployed at a certain distance from the protected target to ensure that they can effectively perform their tasks and protect their own safety.

Specifically, there are three main reasons:

First, maintaining a certain distance can increase the tactical flexibility of the air defense system. The missile system can be adjusted according to the threat situation and battlefield situation, and respond quickly to different air strike threats.

Secondly, reduce the risk of accidental injuries: Keeping the air defense missile system at a certain distance from the protected target can reduce the risk of accidental injuries.

If the missile system is too close to the target, it may cause damage to the protected target due to misjudgment.

Secondly, improve the survivability of the protected target: If the missile system is too close to the target, once the system is destroyed, it may cause collateral damage to the target.

From this perspective, Durres' judgment is not unreasonable.

However, the earliest air defense missile system in the world was not the Austrian surface-to-air missile system, but a product of the Xisentom company.

Fan Yingming obviously understood this principle better than Durres. If Durres understood it, how could Fan Yingming not understand it?

So, as expected, Dures fell into the trap.

The next morning, around nine o'clock, the positions of Laohegou and Shaguoyao did not face the air threat from Omanrek as expected. Instead, a group of fighter jets from the Plaster Country approached quietly like uninvited guests.

These days, thanks to our army's advanced air defense missile system, the air force of the Plaster Country has always been wary of the sky over the liberated areas, and even close-range spying has been cautious.

However, this time, under the strong pressure of Omanrek, the Plaster Country had to send its fighter jets to carry out an almost suicidal mission - to consume our army's air defense missile reserves.

It is regrettable that these fighter jets are not cutting-edge models equipped with Russia's advanced technology, but old aircraft that are about to be retired. They seem to be relics of time, being ruthlessly pushed onto the battlefield.

Despite this, these aircraft underwent a certain degree of "transformation": many were designed to prevent parachuting, and the pilots were deprived of their last hope of survival in order to stimulate the samurai spirit in them.

Once they reach our positions, if they have not been shot down, they will become living "missiles" and turn into ashes together with the ground targets. This extreme tactic undoubtedly makes these fighters equivalent to suicide weapons to some extent.

The fate of the pilots was equally tragic. They were regarded as consumables for carrying out biological guidance missions, and from the moment they took off, landing was no longer an option.

To fly these planes, you only need to master the most basic flying skills and be able to take off.

So, hundreds of fighter jets came surging in like a plague of locusts, covering the sky and the sun. This is one of the reasons why the Plaster Country calls itself the "Locust Army", and it also reflects that wherever they go, they leave behind only destruction and desolation.

When this group of air invaders entered the effective range of our air defense missiles, we demonstrated our strength without hesitation. Two-thirds of the missiles were poured out in an instant, like an eruption of anger, and then we quickly moved our positions.

In fact, even if they held on to the spot, there would not be much risk, because the real target of the Plaster Country was not the air defense force, but the Sand Pot Kiln.

Finally, the remaining dozen or so "ghost" planes, with desperate roars, plunged into the casserole kiln position, like fragile eggs thrown into a boiling casserole, stirring up a few short and pale waves, and then disappeared in the smoke and fire. ???
