The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Panshan Machinery Factory.

In a production workshop, a drone is being produced.

This type of drone is very small and is a suicide drone.

This drone has a flying distance of only 20 kilometers and carries a bomb, whose function is to attack and explode the target.

The cost is also very cheap, and the current mass production cost is 2 RMB per unit.

It can be operated through one operating console, and one operating console can be reused many times.

As for drones, they will be destroyed once they attack their targets.

Now the technical research and development team is still trying to find ways to reduce the cost of this suicide drone, preferably to 1000 RMB or even lower.

Currently, China has begun to explore the combat applications of this type of suicide drone and how to guard against it.

After all, if you have a spear, you also need a shield.

Otherwise, it would be a headache if we encountered this kind of suicide drone on the battlefield one day.

Liu Tao wanted this kind of suicide drone to speed up the process of eliminating pirates and rebel forces.

One of these suicide drones costs 2 RMB, which may seem like a lot, but 20 of them would only amount to billion RMB.

Not to mention that 10 of these drones can kill or injure pirates and rebel militants, as long as one-tenth of them can be killed or injured, it will be a profit.

Each time such an attack is launched, the cost is not small.

It's not just the cost of weapons, but also the cost of fuel and personnel.

In terms of cost, it is actually more cost-effective to use suicide drones.

Liu Tao believes that various types of drones will play a huge role on the battlefield in the future, and will even change the mode of warfare to a certain extent.

War is eternal and has never disappeared.

But the mode of warfare is constantly changing.

Change is the norm in war mode.

In many countries, the understanding of war is still stuck in the Gulf War and Kosovo War models, but in fact, the war models are constantly changing.

Even the guerrilla warfare has changed significantly from that during World War II.

Although it is still called guerrilla warfare and the model is similar, there have actually been great changes.

Just look at the war in Afghanistan. The Americans have invested huge amounts of money, supplies, weapons, equipment and ammunition, and the war is still going on.

Even this year, the US-led coalition forces, with the cooperation of government forces, not only failed to expand their victory, but also lost some territory.

The Afghan government supported by the United States has government forces that have no combat effectiveness at all. They are equipped with all American equipment, but when it comes to fighting, they are just slacking off.

If there were no American supervisory team, the guerrillas would simply drop their weapons and raise their hands in surrender as soon as they heard the sound of their guns.

Similarly, the Chinese military is also constantly exploring new-era warfare and the warfare model for future battlefields.

Drones, as a variable on the battlefield, will inevitably lead to changes in the mode of warfare.

In the field of military drones, China has developed different models of drones.

For example, four drones have been developed as target drones, one of which can even reach a flight speed of Mach 1.5 and a flight altitude of 1.83 meters to simulate enemy fighter jets. Now, a high-speed drone is being developed to simulate missiles in order to evaluate anti-missile systems.

For example, as unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, drones for different application scenarios have also been developed, including high-altitude long-range drones, high-altitude medium-range drones, medium-altitude medium-range drones, and low-altitude short-range drones.

There are also various types of drones, such as drones that carry air-to-ground or bombs to attack enemies, and suicide drones like the one in front of us that target individual enemy soldiers. Of course, there are also drones that specifically target tanks and armored vehicles.

Then there are drones used to deceive the enemy and act as bait. These drones are designed to attract enemy firepower or the entire air defense system, and then damage or destroy it. This is also a new use for drones that people have developed in recent years, resulting in new models of drones.

Another type is the jamming drone, which is an application of electronic warfare aircraft on drones. Two or more jamming devices are equipped on one drone at the same time. It flies over enemy positions to perform electronic warfare tasks, interfering with radar and communications, thereby preventing enemy anti-aircraft artillery and missile positions from obtaining the required intelligence information, and interfering with the enemy's communication system.

Different application scenarios have given rise to different types of drones.

The suicide drone in front of Liu Tao is specially used to hunt down individual enemy soldiers. One bomb is enough to kill or injure a soldier.

This suicide drone, equipped with a developed system, is really like a bee.

The technical team also gave this drone a very appropriate name - 'Suicide Swarm Drone'!
'Bee' drone!

This is the official name of this drone.

A total of 10 of this type of drone have been produced so far.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This is still not full production. Once necessary, the monthly production of these "bee-style" drones can reach 10 in a very short time.

If a war really breaks out, it will take less than a year to produce 50 of these "Bee-style" drones per month.

The production difficulty of this type of drone is actually not that great!

Once a war breaks out, the civilian drones currently in production can be immediately converted to the production of military drones.

Liu Tao contacted the military and then allocated 10,000 "Bee" drones to Southeast Asia.

Nanyang, a converted armed ship.

Command operations room.

Technicians sat in front of computers, connecting these "bee-style" drones through the local area network.

Each "Bee" drone carries a bomb.

As the commander gave the order, the drone began to take off from the deck and flew towards an island ahead.

At this time, the military's Type 81 amphibious tanks were already traveling in the water and had begun landing operations.

However, the speed of the Type 81 amphibious tank in water is not as fast as that of the "Bee" drone.

In order to ensure the application of drones, the sea breeze is not strong today.

This type of suicide drone also has an obvious flaw, which is that it has certain climate requirements.

There can't be too much rain and too much wind.

The 'Bee-style' UAV began to search for targets. This type of 'Bee-style' UAV can turn on the automatic attack mode, that is, it can automatically identify with thermal imaging and then launch an attack, or it can be operated manually.

There is a problem with the automatic attack mode now, that is, as long as it is a person, no matter whether it is a pirate, rebel armed forces, or a civilian, it will be automatically attacked once it is discovered.

As for our side, we must equip the "Bee" drone with a small instrument so that it can identify friend or foe, otherwise it will also include us as the target of attack.

Manual attack is to solve this problem. The technicians use the pictures to judge whether to launch an attack. (End of this chapter)
