Red Soviet Union

Mexico lacks everything, no advanced fighter jets, and no advanced armed helicopters.

Bell 212, Mi 17, and Black Hawk are all armed helicopters from Mexico. However, these helicopters are temporarily modified transport helicopters, and the weapons are just rocket launchers! Dealing with dufan is still very good, but dealing with US ground forces is nonsense.

But now, those flying in the sky are all armed helicopters! The front of these helicopters is a tandem high and low two-seater, and the short wings on both sides are mounted with anti-tank missiles!

Stone Kestrel Gunship! The helicopter that came this time was not from the Mexicans, nor from the Argentines, but from the South Africans! South Africans are also involved in this operation!

Pay attention to air defense! Major General George shouted loudly.

Since the U.S. Air Force can completely control the air supremacy on the battlefield, the U.S. Army rarely needs to consider the issue of protecting its own head. Therefore, their equipment is relatively slow to update.

So far, the main anti-aircraft weapon equipped by the U.S. Army is still the Vulcan m167 20mm anti-aircraft gun. This is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that was developed in 1964 and successfully developed in 1967 to replace the m55 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun. system.

This kind of equipment uses the m113 transport vehicle as the chassis, and directly installs 6 tubes of 20mm anti-aircraft guns on it. In fact, it can be regarded as a kind of Gatling cannon. This kind of cannon has a fast rate of fire, up to thousands per minute However, the caliber is only 20 mm, resulting in a range of only more than 1,000 meters, so it cannot effectively protect the top of the field division at all!

Even, this thing still opens the turret! If the personnel do not operate remotely, they can only expose the upper half of their body, which requires courage.

Therefore, American soldiers also need individual air defense weapons! In the machine battalion, there are still some Stinger air defense missiles!

Suddenly from the marching state to the air-to-air state, the 1st Cavalry Division was a little flustered. At the same time, the stone tea falcon gunship in the sky had already flown!

In the case of a long-term arms embargo, South Africa had to be independent and develop its own various equipment. South Africa and Israel cooperated to develop fighter jets. At the same time, in the field of armed helicopters, South Africa was also developing its own new armed helicopters. It's the Stone Kestrel.

This kind of armed helicopter belongs to the 10-ton class. If compared with China's Wuzhi Ten, the comprehensive index should be better than Wuzhi Ten, because Wuzhi Ten is still troubled by the heart, resulting in a weak mounting capacity. .

However, this armed helicopter in South Africa, because of the embargo from the outside world, adopted South Africa's existing technology to the greatest extent in its development. For example, the use of power components such as the rotor and engine of the French Puma medium-sized transport helicopter equipped in South Africa allowed this armed helicopter to be designed and manufactured in the shortest possible time.

In later generations, it was already the 1990s, when apartheid had been eliminated in South Africa. After taking power, black South Africans joined in the development of this helicopter, which made this helicopter unable to fight for a long time.

But now, it is different. The Soviet Union has fully participated in the development of various projects in South Africa. The Soviet Union helped South Africa develop their own fighter jets, and at the same time, it also helped them develop this armed helicopter.

With the help of the Soviet Union, it took only two years since the project was established in 1984, and the Kestrel gunship has already been finalized and equipped with troops! This time to fight the United States, South Africa sent all 22 of its Kestrels over!

This kind of armed helicopter is very similar to the stone kestrel of later generations. It also uses the power system and rotor system of the jaguar. However, in other aspects, it is almost completely borrowed from the Soviet Mi-24 Hind helicopter, including the fire The control system, including the weapon system, is almost ready to use.

Now, on the short wings on both sides, the Whirlwind 9m120 anti-tank missile is mounted.

This is the latest Soviet anti-tank missile! Tube-launched, supersonic, laser-guided! This kind of missile is simply a weapon tailored for armed helicopters!

In later generations, this missile was successfully researched and equipped with troops in the 1990s. However, like other weapon systems, after the development began in 1981, after several years of research and development, now, the development has been completely completed! At the same time, it is also exported to other countries, including South Africa.

South Africa is now a staunch ally of the Soviet Union. For example, now, you can send troops to fight against the United States with the troops of other countries, which is an opportunity to show your loyalty!

emission! As far as 5 kilometers away, the pilot of the helicopter pressed the button, and under the short wings on both sides, the flames flickered, and the Whirlwind anti-tank missile flew out!

Historically, the Stone Kestrel was only equipped with the European airborne Holt-3 anti-tank missiles. Now, the performance of the Tornado missile is far better than that of the Hult-3!

Hum! The Vulcan anti-aircraft guns fired violently, and the 20mm shells formed a barrage in the air. Now, they can't reach the opponent's armed helicopters at all. Their only hope is the anti-tank missiles that will fly shoot down!

Boom! It's a pity that the whirlwind missile flying at supersonic speed cannot be intercepted by the 20mm anti-aircraft gun at all! It passed through the barrage without any damage. Those bullets all fell behind it, and then it came into close contact with the m1 tank in front of it! The missile didn't hit the target directly. When it reached the m1 tank, it suddenly pulled up from the low altitude mischievously, and then swooped down!

With a static armor penetration of over 1000 mm, hitting the top of the m1 is a piece of cake! This kind of missile has excellent maneuverability and can even be used to strike air targets with a speed of less than 800 kilometers per hour!

Damn it!

A strike from five kilometers away made the Americans helpless, because even if they used Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, the range was only 4,800 meters! Five kilometers, beyond the range!

Now, it is simply to be beaten, not to fight back!

One tank after another was destroyed, and Major General George's heart was bleeding. At the same time, he also knew that it was time for a strong man to cut his wrists!

Abandon the 2nd Cavalry Brigade! Return to your own borders! Now that even South Africa has joined in, will there be armies from other countries?

Only these, an armored division on our own side, can't deal with it!
