Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 571 Electronic Countermeasures, Midfield

"So they don't have short-range anti-aircraft missiles?"

In the outpost camp on the other side, Xia Yu said while eating breakfast.

Rather than defending against portable air defense missiles, he is more concerned about radar-guided, short-range air defense missiles with a longer range.

This thing poses a much greater threat to helicopters than fighter jets, so after the deployment of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns was strengthened, the CLA-01W mid-infrared laser jamming pod was no longer introduced for helicopters used for concentrated fire defense.

But now it is not just MANPADS that is rampant, CIWS (close-in defense system) is also flooding the second-hand market.

In order to prepare for a rainy day, Xia Yu felt that the laser jamming pod was not important, but the electronic warfare pod used by the helicopter platform was very important.

Therefore, he ordered four sets of KG4G electronic warfare pods from his hometown to carry out active electronic interference on the target indication and fire control radar of the short-range air defense weapon system when necessary.

After several iterations, the original missile-like shape of KG300G has been transformed into a prism. While the performance has been improved, the weight has also been reduced, so it can be installed on the outermost light rack of the Hind platform.

This is very important. Carrying two less anti-tank missiles is not a big problem, but carrying one less rocket nest will directly reduce the firepower by half.

"The money was not spent on portable air defense missiles. Now the last shortcoming has been made up. It would be a waste even if we bought short-range air defense missiles now."

Xia Yu put down his chopsticks and said with emotion.

"Boss, there was a real fight at Antonov Airport. Two planes were damaged and two were destroyed. They lost four Ka-4s."

Hans said, fingering his tablet.

Concentrated defense is fighting a small battle in Jamaica, while a big battle is fighting in Eastern Europe.

As expected, Da Maoguo chose Antonov Airport as the breakthrough point and sent elite VDV to launch a helicopter raid.

“How many helicopters did they throw in?”

Xia Yu asked.

"More than 200, including 28 Mi-52s and Ka-38s."

Isn't this configuration ten times the units they deployed into battle last night?

However, the result was completely different. The concentrated fire defense did not send out a single paratrooper, and it was purely ground attack. Of the 300 people in VDV, only 50 survived.

Well, 200 helicopters are enough to destroy the airport, but even 200 more would be enough to take over the airport.

The other side attacked without obtaining accurate intelligence, so no matter how strong VDV's individual combat capability was, it was in vain.

But the armored forces seem to be even worse?
Xia Yu saw a video of a large number of tanks being abandoned because they were broken down.

This is unimaginable in terms of concentrated fire defense. They can accept being hit on the head by an anti-tank missile, but they are unable to withstand the attack due to mechanical failure, or a large number of mechanical failures.

Isn't this military dereliction of duty?
In other words, compared with the PMC companies that are always ready for battle, the armored troops who were just paddling through the exercises were suddenly pulled into the "examination room" and handed in a failing answer sheet.

In addition, it is said that abandoned tanks can be recycled, but there are also many videos of old man Ermao driving a tractor to tow tanks home.

Where's your armored recovery vehicle?
Where is your logistics support?
I didn't forget to wait for the traffic light, all this was really abstract.

"It won't be over in a short time, which is pretty much what I predicted."

Xia Yu put down his phone and sighed.

"Let's arrange for the horseshoe bats to bomb all the remaining bases of the Jumali Youth Team."

In just these two days, Russia has fired more than 260 missiles, which shows how poor they are.

In the concentrated fire defense against extremist organizations, not many missiles were used, but hundreds of laser-guided bombs had been launched.

After all, this deployment includes all the work and materials, so there is no need to be too frugal.

So he would take his time in Eastern Europe, while he had to completely deal with the Jamali youth team within two weeks.

"Yes, boss!"

…………

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

Just as he came out of the leader's tunnel and was about to go to the cafeteria to find something to eat, the patrol leader was stunned by a bomb that came crashing down.

Maybe he shouldn't have come back so early. He was in a hurry to get bombed!
I hid in the cellar under the cafeteria. My stomach was rumbling, and there was thunder outside as well.

Once the explosions stopped, the number of the 7 people in the last seven strongholds was reduced by more than 2500, which was much better than the initial number when they had no experience.

So, modern warfare requires bombing, but we cannot rely solely on bombing.

Especially in cities covered with reinforced concrete, the killing effect of tens of thousands of artillery shells and thousands of precision-guided bombs may not be as great as that of an earthquake or a tsunami.

The mud houses and shacks in the wilderness are easy to demolish, but the tunnels underneath them are difficult to blow up, and the air force alone is not enough.

"Take this time to rest. After two rounds of bombing, it will be our turn to contribute."

"Yes, boss!"

After greeting the employees, Xia Yu boarded a Super Hornet and flew back to Moi Air Force Base in a sleepy state.

The boss has some privileges, or is helpless. During each battle break, he can withdraw from the front line to the rear and reunite with his family.

Well, taking care of some other work along the way.

Xia Yu is not only the boss of Jihuo Defense, he is also the director of the Afika War Museum. Kong Luga and Kidar have a lot of things waiting for him.

"Om~~"

Amid the unique roar of a five-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine, a four-pair-wheeled self-propelled rocket launcher that fired empty rockets rushed towards the helipad.

It was little Youzi who brought his younger brother and sister to greet their old father.

I thought they would drive this thing through the forests of East Germany, but they ended up having fun on the East Philippine plateau.

"Dad, get in the car!"

Charlotte called to her father.

But it was difficult to hang such a small car. He felt the rocket nest and made sure it was not hot, so he grabbed it and hung it up.

"Om~~"

Shad in front stepped on the gas and rushed towards the Sherlock on the apron at the end of the taxiway.

Whether it is a civil airport or an air force base, it is important to have a shuttle bus for transportation.

The electric toy car that can only seat one child is too small. This armored gasoline car that can set off fireworks is more powerful.

In addition to being able to seat three children, it can also accommodate a dad.

As for the exhaust emissions not meeting the standards and affecting the children's health, Xia Yu simply installed a three-way catalytic converter.

Liv was cooking dinner. Although her cooking skills were not as good as Lao Wu's, she was far better than her husband who only knew how to poison people.

Opening a bottle of craft beer from a self-sealing can, with your wife and children sitting around you, this is life!

Having passed the RV stage, wherever the Sherlock is, there is home. Old-fashioned private military contractors all regard their aircraft as their home.

"The An-225 was saved, but another An-124M was destroyed this time."

Xia Yu said to his wife.

The modernized An-124M has a payload capacity of 124 tons, the same as the An-150-150 of the JIT Air Transport Company.

Unfortunately, many jobs can be done by the old 120-ton model. The An-124M, which has no business at the moment, is parked at Antonov Airport, where it was destroyed by a bomb. If the larger An-225 had stayed, it would have suffered a worse fate than the modernized Ruslan.

"Who did it?"

Liv put down her chopsticks and asked while adding more rice to her eldest son.

"The Tungolans themselves thought it was better to destroy it than leave it to the Pyros. But they didn't know that the other side couldn't take the airport at all. This is embarrassing."

Not to mention the second brother, the Slavs are quite abstract.

"Then do you want more?"

Liv directly pointed out the meaning of her husband's words. She knew this man too well.

"Yes, of course. If the damage is minor, we can repair it. If the damage is major, we can dismantle the parts for other An-124s."

Xia Yu immediately became alert.

"The most important thing is that it's cheap. If I wasn't afraid that the An-225 would be scrapped, wouldn't it be nice to pick up an accident aircraft? Jihuo Air Transport Company has three An-3s, but only one is a 124-ton upgraded model. This number is too small."

只有安-124-150才能一次拉3辆主战坦克，老款安-124只能拉3辆重型步战车。

"So the An-225 is very expensive?"

After marrying into the Xia family, Liv also became sensitive to numbers.

"It's worth it, there's only one in the world, and business is all about scarcity. We must bring back a relic like this and keep it as a treasure."

Boss Xia showed his courage with a wave of his hand.

"But who says we have to pay? We can still barter! I have something they are interested in, or something that both parties are interested in."

These days, Russia's missiles have been firing rapidly, with tens of thousands of shells of various calibers consumed every day.

There will definitely be enough inventory in the short term, but if time goes on, even the inventory will not be enough to last until the end of the Cold War.

As for Ermao, he had sold all his belongings long ago.

In addition, there is no first-mover advantage, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the Soviet-caliber artillery will be exhausted.

这也是夏屿会打印同等数量155mm炮弹的原因，几年来他总共攒了50万发大口径榴弹，其中155mm和152mm各25万发。

After deducting the material cost, I wonder how much profit it can bring to him?
We will have to wait a while to know the exact number. The price of shells has not risen yet, but the price of gold has risen to nearly $2000 an ounce.

This price is much higher than when Xia Yu got the batch of standard gold bars from El Mencho, and it completely beats the previous price of $1200 per ounce.

"Afika has been in chaos and has hardly affected the price of gold and commodities. However, if war breaks out in hot spots, the situation will be different. I am afraid that the price of gold will rise again."

Xia Yu made a bold guess.

He did not intend to speculate in gold, but regretted the subsequent increase in the cost of obtaining physical gold.

There was no way. Xia Yu had been very busy with work in recent years and had no time to build the bunker, which also delayed the collection of raw materials for decoration.

In addition to the antique gold found in the sea and soil, he would need at least hundreds of tons of gold to decorate his bunker, which was a huge sum of money.

It is better to let the mining department collect more low-priced crude gold sand in the Afika market. The cost of refining it to 4 9s is also money, so saving a little is a good thing.

Xia Yu wrote this matter down in his notebook, preparing to conclude this Jemimali deployment and make arrangements when he returned.

"You didn't even give me three golds when you married me!"

When Liv heard her husband talking about the price of gold, she quickly joked.

A foreigner only needs a ring for marriage, but she has spent a lot of time in China and knows about three gold jewelry.

"So I'll make it up to you now?"

As Xia Yu spoke, he took out a piece of gold plate. He also had a big one, but it was not easy to hold.

The 1-kilogram specification is just right, and it will give face to anyone you give it to.

"Forget it. I don't mind carrying an extra kilogram of bulletproof vest, but it would be too tiring to wear this as jewelry."

Liv waved her hands quickly.

She was just joking, but she didn't expect that the old guy could actually dig out gold. Isn't he tired?

It is definitely not tiring to drive fast. Seeing that his wife didn't want it, Xia Yu put the sheet metal into the storage warehouse and turned it back into molecular state.

"My dear, you look more beautiful with jewels."

Xia Yu said this and took out another emerald.

He has been carrying this thing that cannot be printed with him, and it is a good opportunity to give it away today, after all, his wife's birthday is coming soon.

"You are a perfect match for blue and green. Thank you for your contribution to our family and career last year. I hope that this year we can also work together to overcome the difficulties and move towards a better future step by step."

The boss painted a big rosy picture for the boss's wife.

"Put it on me quickly, my dear boss."

Looking at his wife's sad eyes, Xia Yu knew that tonight would be another bloody night, and he didn't know who would be able to defeat whom.

The three ignorant kids just made a fuss on the side and had no idea that even if the fourth and fifth children couldn't come this year, they were still waiting in line.

The richer you are, the more children you want to have. Rich people who have no more children after just one are truly selfish.

But you can’t just ignore the baby after it’s born, otherwise it’s easy to end up like Musk, having children.

It is easy to push a rich man to extremes by slapping him in the face like this. Xia Yu was not optimistic about the real estate developer before, but now he is not sure whether he can last another term.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Boss Xia walked down the gangway with brisk steps. It seemed that he was the winner.

The four F-4s in the hangar opposite have completed maintenance and are now loading bombs.

If there is another round of bombing tonight, causing continued bleeding among the Jumali youth team, they will become desperate.

Xia Yu wanted to drive these guys out of the tunnel and eliminate them in the wild.

The gophers can be beaten, but the efficiency is too low. He said that if the problem is solved in two weeks, it will not be delayed until late March.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

At dinner time, listening to the rumbling explosion outside, Abdi, who didn't know that he only had half a month to live, was eating cornmeal fufu while thinking about breaking out.

If the concentrated fire on his defense continues like this, he will only have less than 2000 men left.

If we try to break out by then, I'm afraid only a few hundred people will be able to do so. It's better to act earlier so that more people can survive.

Isn't this the same thing that Xia thought? The two of them really are in sync!
As for which direction to break out, Abdi looked at the map and decided to find another way.

"Break out in the direction of Ao Seobiya. They are still fighting a civil war right now and have no time to care about us."

After dinner, the bombing was over, he said to the leaders.

Before November 20, Afika was still an Afika country with good development momentum, but the situation changed after the civil war broke out after November.

Although they also funded the deployment of Jihuo Defense in Jamali, it did not prevent them from fighting a civil war in their country.

The reason for breaking out to the direction of Xisai was that Abdi had connections there, and all the weapons and equipment he brought to Xisai had passed through Xisai.

Chaos is the best cover. In recent years, the Jumali Youth Team has been chasing Kenniya, but they kept a trick for the old lady who directly sent troops back then, just for this road.
