Soldier Assault Scout Vanguard

Chapter 462 Helicopter Sniper

462 helicopter sniper

When Su Qi and Yang Rui came to the front deck, the members of the special operations team were training.

Of course, the trainees are not limited to those who appeared in "Operation Red Sea", Zhang Tiande, Tong Li, Li Xiao, Zhuang Yu, Xu Hong, Lu Chen... Besides these few, there are many more.

This time the special forces team members who went out with the ship were not only the main characters in "Operation Red Sea", there were more than 30 people in total, and the few in the movie were just the elite.

Everyone is training in full swing on the front deck.

But seeing Su Qi and Yang Rui coming out, many people stopped what they were doing and looked over intently.

At first it was just one or two, but soon, everyone stopped what they were doing and watched together.

Seeing this, Yang Rui was a little dissatisfied, his face sank, and he scolded: "What are you doing standing there, what should you do! Am I so good-looking?"

Su Qi actually knew what everyone was thinking.

Because if he was a member of the Red Sea formation, he would think the same.

"The superior suddenly airborne such a guy, what do you mean? Can't you trust us?"

"Who is this guy?"

"What is he? Why should he have the final say? Why should we follow his command in all our actions?"

If Su Qi was the other party's character, he would have the same expression, so he understands everyone's performance very well.

Therefore, seeing Yang Rui scolding everyone, he quickly stopped him, and said with a smile: "Captain Yang, let's practice together too, I'll come first, I'll warm up first!"

After finishing speaking, he came to the center of the front deck without any explanation, took off his big-brimmed hat, and started warming up on his own.

Twist your neck, twist your wrists, move your knees and waist, trot twice, stretch...

While he was warming up, the others consciously gave up the space, moved outside, and gave him the empty foredeck.

Su Qi was not polite, coy, or embarrassed, as if he was a competent actor and this was his stage, and he performed on his own.

At first it was just a warm-up, and then a set of military boxing that everyone is familiar with.

Stand at attention, look ahead, concentrate for a moment, take a step forward with your right foot, make a splayed figure with your feet, make a fist with both hands, pull them back and forth, bend your elbows, keep your left fist parallel to your shoulder, and place your right fist about 10 feet in front of your lower abdomen Centimeters away, fists and eyes upward, chest naturally raised, and eyes looking forward.

With a sound of ha, his right fist swung forward from his waist, with the center of the fist facing down, while his left fist was retracted at his waist, forming a left lunge. Upwards, put your right fist in your waist, straighten your right foot while lifting your right leg, slightly flatten your toes, jump straight down, kick forward vigorously, and quickly retract...

His movements are smooth and flowing, which not only looks pleasing to the eye, but also gives people a huge sense of oppression that is fast, precise and ruthless.

When he hit the third move of "horse stance horizontal strike", all members of the special operations team's eyes lit up immediately, and some even couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

"This guy is good at it!"

"His fighting - probably stronger than our Yang team!"

The people present are all old players, many dare not say, but they still have the basic firmness ability, so experts will know if there is one when they make a move. Everyone just sees Su Qi's few moves, and they all know one thing Yes, Su Qi's fighting skills are a bit higher than those present.

Of course, that's all that can be seen from a few simple movements. Everyone just knows that Su Qi's skills are good, but no one can judge how strong he is and what level he is at. .

So after doing more than a dozen moves, Su Qi turned around abruptly, slid out with a side step, and then kicked sideways on the sandbag hanging on the side!

Bang!
The sandbag was kicked by Su Qi.

Seeing this scene, the people present were all dumbfounded.

"Fuck! What did I see?"

"Isn't it? Did you kick the sandbag?"

"Fuck? What is the origin of this kid, so fierce?"

Everyone was frightened.

At this time, Captain Gao Yun just came out from the inside. After seeing this scene, his eyelids twitched: "This kid--not bad!"

Su Qi withdrew his hands, shrugged his shoulders towards Yang Rui, and pretended to be helpless: "Captain Yang, this?"

Yang Rui reacted, and quickly smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, these equipments have been used for a long time, and they are useless!"

He quickly yelled to the people next to him: "Li understands Zhang Tiande, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and deal with it!"

After explaining for a while, Yang Rui said to Su Qi: "Captain Su, since you have warmed up, let's practice shooting together?"

"Okay!" Su Qi nodded: "I haven't used a gun for several days, I'm afraid my hands are a little raw!"

Shooting is the basic skill of special forces, and it is also a subject that can best reflect the ability of special forces, so the shooting training of special forces must be carried out every day.

At this time, on the front deck, several Type [-] automatic rifles were placed on a table.

Su Qi walked over to pick up one, pulled it with a click, then picked it up, and hit the water target not far away.

Shooting on a ship is different from shooting on land. The ship is always moving. At this time, Su Qi is standing on the warship. The tonnage of the warship is much larger than that of a small ship, and the ups and downs are smaller, but no matter what, it still shakes, so this This kind of shooting still tests the basic skills of the shooter, not to mention that at this time, everyone's eyes are all shooting balloons, which are hung on a small boat.

The skiff was tied with a rope and was towed by the warship.

The tonnage of the warship is large, and the ups and downs are relatively small, but the small boat is different. It rises and falls on the waves, and because it follows the warship closely, it is greatly affected by the air current, so the string of balloons on the small boat swings very Seriously, it is not easy to hit a balloon that is swinging at any time 100 meters away with one shot.

But for Su Qi at this time, this matter can only be regarded as pediatrics, and he doesn't care.

Picked up the gun, tried it, then turned to the string of balloons suddenly, without aiming, just shot, and the pursuit was just one word-quick!

Bang bang bang bang!
Su Qi fired ten shots in one breath.

With every gunshot, a balloon popped in the distance.

Seeing this, Yang Rui couldn't help cheering: "Captain Su, your marksmanship is good!"

"It's okay, barely pass!" Su Qi smiled modestly.When he turned around, he saw a piece of equipment not far away, and asked Yang Rui curiously, "Captain Yang, what is this?"

"Oh—this is the equipment we use to train helicopter sniper!"

"Helicopter sniper?" Su Qi was taken aback.

Yang Rui nodded: "We received your notice before we set off. Didn't you say that the subject of helicopter sniping is very useful in anti-piracy, so we designed this equipment to train helicopter sniping!"

Su Qi walked over and looked curiously.

The equipment is very simple, but it is very creative thinking, and the specific design is very particular. In a word, the cost is not high, but the training effect should be very good.

"Captain Yang, who designed this is very thoughtful!" Su Qi looked at it and was very surprised. He admired the guy who designed this set of equipment.

He decided that when he returned to the Black Dragon commando, he must invite Yang Rui and his experts to teach them the relevant experience, and even directly buy a few sets of related equipment from Yang Rui and the others.

Helicopter sniper——

They should have a good time too!
At the beginning of the movie "Operation Red Sea", the "Jiaolong" naval special forces rescue a civilian ship hijacked by pirates on the high seas.Among them, a sniper team was assigned to the helicopter for sniper missions.

This scene has been criticized by many people!
First of all, it is because the snipers use the 88-type sniper rifle issued by our army's platoon-level combat units.

The 88-type sniper rifle had accidents in which the hostages were accidentally injured due to various reasons when shooting hostage-taking bandits through the window, so it was once dubbed the anti-hostage sniper rifle.

In the movie, although the 88-style sniper rifle perfectly shot the gunman to the head, it is actually not so suitable to use this gun.

按照88式狙击步枪的射击用表来看，在100米上的高低水平公算偏差有0.02米，那么R100有7cm。

What's more, when drawing the shooting table, the gun frame is usually fixed or the shooter shoots in a prone position with support. In the film, the sniper shoots in a standing position with the gun strap fixed on the gun body. Relying on it, the stability of the man-gun is not as good as when drawing the shooting table, and the helicopter shakes a lot, and shooting downwards from the helicopter will cause the impact point to be lower than the aiming point;
Not only that, but the shooting distance is also relatively long. From the visual point of view in the film, the distance is about 150~200m. In addition, the shooting through the window, the glass will further affect the actual shooting effect. If it is a medium-caliber high-precision sniper rifle, it will be affected. It will be smaller, and the DJY88 88mm machine gun ammunition fired by a small-caliber sniper rifle such as the 5.8-style sniper rifle will be more affected.

To sum up, snipers are really not suitable for using the 88-type sniper rifle, which is not very accurate.

Secondly, the observation surface of the optical sight of the 88-type sniper rifle shot in the film uses the observation surface of the relatively cheap "Bohneng" brand optical sight on the market.

In fact, this is a close-up mirror, not the reticle used in the Type 88 sniper rifle.

The dense position mirror must be familiar to all "eat chicken" players. The 8x mirror in the "eat chicken" game is a standard close position mirror. It is impossible to judge the target height, wind speed and shooting distance with only one optical sight. Therefore, it is impossible to directly correct the aiming point. Some higher-end instruments, such as ballistic solvers, range finders, etc., are needed to test the shooting targets, and the values ​​that need to be adjusted can be obtained manually or through computer calculations. dense digits, so as to successfully hit the target;

But now the optical sight with reticle is mostly used. You can roughly measure some rough shooting elements based on the reticle in the sight, and you can directly and roughly correct the reticle and shoot without too much effort. What a sophisticated measuring instrument.

In fact, the optical sight of the SVD semi-automatic sniper rifle used by the rebel sniper who sniped the Jiaolong commando sniper team in the latter part of the film is correct.

The third is that the sniper Luo Xing was accidentally hit by a pirate's bullet while sniping and killing the fleeing pirates, resulting in spinal damage.

It's not quite logical here either.

First of all, our army is currently equipped with bulletproof inserts, not to mention special operations troops, and the protection level is mostly G** VI or NIJ IV. The bulletproof effect is very good, and it can stop several rounds of medium-caliber full-power infantry bomb The penetration is absolutely impenetrable with the AK assault rifle in the hands of pirates.

However, one fact revealed by the movie is correct, that is, the role of helicopter sniping is quite large.

When helicopter sniping was just emerging, it was criticized by many people as flashy. First, the flight of the helicopter was unstable, and it was difficult for the shooter to accurately kill the target. Second, the airflow generated by the helicopter’s propeller had a great impact on the trajectory of the bullet. So it's useless to spend a lot of effort to train this subject.

But more and more facts have proved that helicopter sniping is actually very important.

According to the combat experience of the U.S. military in the Middle-East and East-Africa regions, the traditional fixed-point sniper tactics with strong lethality against point targets are not suitable for urban anti-guerrilla warfare or anti-terrorism tasks with highly mobile fronts.

In the face of a complex combat environment, the sniper team must not only get in position quickly to strive for the best shooting opportunity, but also choose the commanding heights that can overlook the surrounding area as much as possible to maintain the best view, which makes the entire sniper team need to Spend more time and energy.

Many U.S. snipers were trained as climbing experts by the town buildings of Iraq-La-Ke and A-F-Khan, because it is only possible to successfully complete the sniper mission by relying on the skill of flying over the eaves and walls.

Previously, the U.S. military also tried to provide mobile shooting points for sniper teams by means of vehicles, but this measure had little effect in actual combat.

The ballistic of the bullet is straight, facing undulating natural landforms and irregular artificial buildings, often forming countless shooting dead ends.

In order to match the battle situation, the sniper team not only needs to get out of the car to find a suitable shooting position, but also change positions at any time according to the situation. The overall time spent has not changed much.

In East-African seas, the U.S. military is also facing the problem of untimely positioning, which is particularly evident in anti-piracy operations.

Due to the wide sea and the limited speed of the ship, even if it keeps moving at full speed, the target ship may have already escaped. Moreover, the commanding heights suitable for shooting on modern combat ships are relatively limited, which makes the difficulty of sniping increase again and again.

Based on the above reasons, the US sniper team has developed a new tactic of using helicopters as mobile shooting positions.

Since the helicopter can freely adjust the altitude and orientation in the air, transforming it into a mobile shooting position can greatly enhance the mobility of the sniper team.

Through close cooperation with the pilot, even in complex environments such as urban warfare or mountain warfare, the sniper can still easily select the best shooting angle and maintain the commanding height advantage at any time.

If the target wants to use terrain cover to avoid the attack of the sniper team, the maneuvering advantage of the helicopter can also immediately bring the sniper team to another suitable height and angle of fire, so that the sniper can quickly capture the mission target.

In addition, helicopter sniper tactics also greatly expand the combat range of the sniper team.

In the past, a sniper team could at most control a block or a valley defile, but when used in conjunction with a helicopter, a sniper team can often control a small town or multiple roads.As for the shortcomings, it is also obvious that it has lost its concealment.

In anti-piracy operations, the combination of helicopters and sniper teams is also very effective. Through high-power optical sights, snipers on helicopters can accurately identify the status of ships and personnel activities within a few hundred meters and serve as an effective reference for further operations. Report back to the fleet commander in time.

Once the order to fire is issued, the sniper can quickly select a truly threatening target to fire, reducing the additional damage caused by naval guns or other weapons.

More importantly, the combination of helicopters and sniper teams can also greatly shorten the reaction time and avoid the danger of high-value ships being exposed to the range of shoulder-fired rockets for boarding inspections, which is of great practical significance.

It was precisely because he saw the great value of helicopter sniping that Su Qi repeatedly told Yang Rui and the others to practice helicopter sniping well.

However, this subject is still blank for our army, so even Su Qi doesn't know how to practice it.

What he didn't expect was that Yang Rui and the others invented such a device.

It's really amazing!
