Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1273 The Power of Modern Combat Concepts
Of course, the military is also the department that pays attention to, researches, analyzes and summarizes this war, and it is also the department that pays the most attention.However, the course of this war surprised our military.Because of the combat concept and combat method, as well as combat thinking and far beyond our previous understanding of the form of war.So it touched the military a lot, and now they are eager to study and analyze this war, so as to find a way to deal with it.Otherwise, what befell Babylon today may be befall us tomorrow.

As for Jiang Chen, because of his special status, he has made some achievements in advanced weapons and equipment, special operations, and advanced combat concepts in the future.Especially those papers written by Jiang Chen before, one can look at them now and find that many of the 'inferences' and 'ideas' in them have become reality and have been verified by the war.Therefore, Jiang Chen must be invited to discuss the research meeting in this regard.However, because of his level, there are naturally fewer opportunities to speak at such meetings.But, he also played the best he could.Especially in the essay on the Gulf War that he participated in compiling, as well as papers on the form of future warfare, the above naturally received great attention from the above, and even these articles he presided over were published in the military’s internal newspapers and periodicals, as well as Some internal reference files are above.

To say that the biggest change this time should be the exchange of military roles.As we all know, we have always been a country with a large army, so in the past many combat research conferences, and a series of conferences of this type, the Army side spoke first.The whole process is also centered on the army, and other arms cooperate.But this time, the army has become a supporting role, while the air force and navy, which have been neglected or have little sense of presence, have become the center.

The first is the Air Force. In this war, the performance of the old U.S. Air Force was indeed impressive, basically undertaking more than 80.00% of the combat tasks in this war.It is precisely because of the existence of this kind of air supremacy that the Babylonian ground troops, which are known for their proficiency in combat, were defeated, and even reached the point of crushing their opponents.However, the army, which is the main force of the ground attack, has become a supporting role in soy sauce.

And the other one is the navy. Although there was no naval battle in this war, the navy's influence on the war is also huge.Especially the rapid arrival ability of the old US Navy, which makes our military feel incredible.In a short period of time, more than 50 troops can be transported from all over the world to the combat area, which is something we have never thought about before.Because our traditional military forces often say that the three armies go first without using food and grass. Such a large-scale troop build-up over a long distance must be a huge project, and it will even cost the whole country.But I didn't expect that Lao Mei did it, and it was done beautifully, which has to praise Lao Mei's sea transportation ability.Of course, there are also air transportation capabilities, but that is only a small number, and most of them are transported by sea.

Another one is Laomei's huge aircraft carrier combat strike group. Laomei can rely on it to order its aircraft carrier combat group to sail to the accident area within a few hours after the incident, and then deter and control the situation. The progress is very efficient, and it also reflects the full strength of the old US global military hegemony.Then there is the group of fighter jets that take off and land from the aircraft carrier. The combat missions basically run through the entire war trial. Even in terms of combat missions and combat intensity, they are not weaker than the Air Force at all. This also allows the country to see the power of naval aviation. .

You know, in January of this year, the first carrier-based unit of our army was officially incorporated into the naval aviation sequence, and the gap between them is also obvious.However, everyone does not want to discuss too much about the aircraft carrier.Although the navy now wants to have its own aircraft carrier, but the current conditions do not allow it, so everyone can only bear to turn a blind eye to the navy's enthusiasm.

Of course, regardless of the aircraft carrier not surrendering, the navy still has a lot of equipment that is eye-catching in this war, the most eye-catching of which should be the ground combat capability of naval ships.And this also involves a star weapon, that is, the famous Tomahawk cruise missile in this war.

The Tomahawk is the BGM_109 "Tomahawk" multi-purpose cruise missile developed by the United States, and it is the most famous cruise missile in the world.It is a medium and long-range multi-purpose cruise missile developed by the United States.It has been developed since 72 and has combat capability by the end of 83.Subsequently, it was successively equipped on nuclear-powered attack submarines, destroyers, cruisers and battleships to attack land or sea strategic targets and important battlefield targets.It is divided into strategic type and tactical type.The strategic type includes the "Tomahawk" land-based nuclear attack missile; the tactical type includes the "Tomahawk" anti-ship missile and the "Tomahawk" land-based conventional attack missile.

The Gulf War was the debut of this Tomahawk missile. Before the war, the United States had about 900 land-attack cruise missiles of this type.In addition, 60 submarine-launched land-attack C-type missiles were urgently modified by McDonnell Douglas to increase the internal fuel carrying capacity so that attack submarines can be launched at a longer distance.The old US navy used Tomahawk missiles launched from 13 surface ships and at least two submarines to attack Babylon's land Target.These ships were in the Gulf, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.About 100 of them hit several important targets before the first strike crews entered Babylonian airspace.Fifty-one of the 52 missiles fired in the first wave hit their intended targets, including blowing a television broadcast tower in half.

In the entire conflict, a total of 291 Tomahawk missiles were used to attack various ground targets, with a launch success rate of 95% and a hit rate of 85%.The attack plan of many Tomahawk missiles is to hit the target one hour before the reconnaissance satellite passes the target area, and the evaluation data of the attack effect can be obtained through the satellite.If the weather conditions in the target area make it impossible to use the guided weapon, the Tomahawk missile will also be used instead of the manned aircraft.

The outstanding performance of this missile has naturally attracted the attention of many parties, and we are naturally very concerned about it.To be honest, I am very envious, because this missile is very suitable for the current situation of coastal areas in our period.But there is no way, so I envy and envy, it is impossible for Laomei to sell it to us.Some people also proposed to make it by themselves, but when money was mentioned, everyone was silent, so this matter was naturally terminated, and no one mentioned it again.As far as Jiang Chen is concerned, although he has the heart, he is powerless.The current conditions do not allow him to carry out this huge project, so he can only wait for an opportunity to carry it out later.

Of course, regarding the navy, there is also the use of the Marine Corps, which also gives us a lot of reference and inspiration.To be honest, our understanding of the Marine Corps was still very limited before this, and we just regarded it as a kind of arm used for beach landing operations.But unexpectedly, in this war, the performance of the Marine Corps was also remarkable.This also gave our army a great reference for the construction and development of the navy and marine corps in the future.
