Chapter 1266 Suicide Swarm Drone
Panshan Machinery Factory.
A production workshop is currently producing a drone.
This drone is very small and is a suicide drone.
This drone has a flight distance of 20 kilometers and carries a bomb, which is used to attack and explode the target.
The cost is also very cheap, and the current mass production cost is 20,000 yuan per unit.
It can be operated through a control panel, and a control panel can be reused many times.
The drone will be scrapped after attacking the target.
The technical research and development team is still trying to reduce the cost of this suicide drone, preferably to 1,000 yuan or even lower.
At present, China has begun to explore the combat application of this suicide drone and how to prevent it.
After all, there must be a spear and a shield.
Otherwise, it will be a headache to encounter this suicide drone on the battlefield one day.
Liu Tao wants this suicide drone to speed up the progress of eliminating pirates and rebel forces.
One suicide drone costs 20,000 RMB, which seems like a lot, but 100,000 of them would cost 2 billion RMB.
Not to mention that 100,000 of these drones can kill or injure 100,000 pirates and rebel militants, as long as one tenth of them are killed or injured, it is a profit.
Each attack costs a lot.
Not only the cost of weapons, but also fuel and personnel costs.
In terms of conversion, it is actually more cost-effective to use suicide drones.
Liu Tao believes that in the future, various drones will play a huge role on the battlefield, and will even change the war mode to a certain extent.
War is eternal and has never disappeared.
But the war mode has been changing.
Change is the norm of the war mode.
Many countries still have the Gulf War and Kosovo War modes of war, but in fact the war mode is constantly changing.
Even guerrilla warfare has changed a lot from the guerrilla warfare during World War II.
Although it is still called guerrilla warfare and the mode is similar, it has actually changed a lot.
Just look at the Afghan war. The Americans have invested a huge amount of money, supplies, weapons, equipment and ammunition, and are still fighting.
Even this year, the coalition led by the US military, with the cooperation of the government army, not only failed to expand the results of the war, but also lost part of the territory.
The Afghan government supported by the United States has no combat effectiveness at all, and its government army is equipped with all American equipment. As a result, they are just fishing when fighting.
If there is no US military supervision team, even the guerrillas will directly drop their weapons and raise their hands to surrender as soon as the guns are fired.
Similarly, the Chinese army is constantly exploring the new era of war and the war mode of the future battlefield.
Drones, as a variable on the battlefield, will inevitably lead to changes in the war mode.
In the field of military drones, China has developed different types of drones.
For example, four drones have been developed as target drones, one of which can even reach a flight speed of 1.5 Mach and a flight altitude of 18,300 meters to simulate enemy fighters.
Even now, a high-speed drone is being developed to simulate missiles to evaluate anti-missile systems.
For example, as unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, high-altitude long-range drones, high-altitude mid-range drones, medium-altitude mid-range drones, low-altitude short-range drones and other drones for different application scenarios have also been developed.
For ground attack drones, various types of drones have also been developed, such as drones carrying air-to-ground or bombs to attack the enemy, and suicide drones like the one in front of us that target individual enemy soldiers. Of course, there are also drones specifically targeting tanks and armored vehicles.
Then there are drones used to deceive the enemy. This type of drone specifically attracts the enemy's firepower or the entire air defense system, and then destroys or destroys it. This is also a new use for drones developed by people in recent years, and thus a new type of drone has been developed.
There is also a type of drone that implements interference. This type of drone belongs to the application of electronic warfare aircraft on drones. Two or more interference devices are equipped on a drone at the same time. It flies over the enemy's position to perform electronic warfare tasks, which are used to interfere with radar and communications, so that the enemy's anti-aircraft guns and missile positions cannot obtain the required intelligence information, and interfere 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 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 - 'suicidal bee swarm drone'!
'Bee-style' drone!
is the official name of this drone.
At present, a total of 100,000 of this drone have been produced.
This is not full-scale production. Once necessary, in a very short time, it can reach a monthly production of 100,000 such 'bee-style' drones.
If a war really breaks out, it will take less than a year to produce 500,000 such 'bee-style' drones per month.
The production difficulty of this drone is actually not great!
Once a war breaks out, the civilian drones currently in production can be switched to the production of military drones at the first time.
Liu Tao contacted the military and then allocated 10,000 "Bee" drones to Nanyang.
Nanyang, a converted armed ship.
Command and Operations Room.
Technicians sat in front of computers, connecting these "Bee" drones through the regional network.
Each "Bee" drone carried a bomb.
As the commander gave the order, the drone began to take off from the deck and flew towards an island in front.
At this time, the military's Type 81 amphibious tanks were already driving in the water and started landing operations.
However, the speed of the Type 81 amphibious tanks in the water is not as fast as the "Bee" drones.
In order to ensure the application of drones, the sea breeze is not strong today.
Now this kind of suicide drone also has obvious defects, that is, it has requirements for the climate.
There can't be too much rain, and the wind can't be too strong.
I saw the "Bee" drone began to search for targets. This kind of "Bee" drone can turn on the automatic attack mode, that is, automatic identification of 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, whether it is a pirate, a rebel, or a civilian, it will automatically attack once it is discovered.
And the self-side must be equipped with a small instrument, so that the "bee-style" drone can identify the enemy, otherwise it will also include the self-side as the target of attack.
And the manual attack is to solve this problem. The technicians use the picture to determine whether to launch an attack. (End of this chapter)
