"Oh my God! This is incredible!"
"This drone can guide an attack? Such a small early warning aircraft?"
Outside the exercise area for both sides, in the No. 1 foreign observation room of the general command.
The foreign observers gasped in surprise when they saw the drone guidance footage on the big screen.
However, after the initial gasp, everyone seemed to realize something, and they all suddenly looked at the representatives in the observation room, their expressions revealing a strange look.
We are all smart people.
Although the details of this exercise were not explicitly stated, the composition of the Blue Team is self-evident to anyone who takes a closer look.
It is clear.
This exercise is a response to the trouble that Little Day stirred up last month.
"These low-altitude, low-speed drones with such a small payload are only good for bullying ground infantry; they can't change the overall strategic situation."
The delegation member's expression changed slightly, but the next second he forced a confident statement: "We have already equipped ourselves with the latest F-15s from the US."
Fighter jets—that's the real game-changer.
"That's right, the low ammunition load won't change the course of the battle."
The American representative, who was not far from the small town, discussed the matter and gave his approval: "We estimated that the total payload of the four hundred drones here is equivalent to the explosive charge of one of our conventional Tomahawk missiles."
Although their mobility and flexibility are a strong deterrent to infantry on conventional army battlefields.
However, for some middle-sized countries, the war waged by major powers has no effect whatsoever.
Its limited range of less than 50 kilometers restricts its use to battlefields close to logistical support, making it unsuitable for large-scale and long-range operations.
With a payload of only 1 kilogram, it is destined to be used only in small, localized battlefields, posing zero threat to large equipment or fortifications.
In addition, its core hangar is a clear weakness, and there are also obvious communication vulnerabilities.
We can confirm that.
This drone can only be used in battlefields of small countries, or in equipment and weapons used in trench warfare.
It is completely out of step with the demands of today's three-dimensional warfare era, encompassing beyond-visual-range operations, electronic warfare, and information-based strikes.
The American representative's assessment was very objective, and his words were very confident.
However, if Lin Dong or someone familiar with the headquarters' strategy heard these words, they would probably smile knowingly.
That's right.
The American representative's assessment was very objective and the analysis was spot on; these are all shortcomings and weaknesses that drones cannot solve.
This is why drones began to become widespread in 13, but it wasn't until the Sino-Canadian War ten years later that people discovered their true power.
Despite all the drawbacks of drones, their one advantage cannot be overshadowed: their affordability.
Beyond-visual-range warfare, electronic warfare, and three-dimensional combat systems are essential for major powers, but these strategies are too lofty and grandiose, too far removed from the lives of ordinary soldiers.
Not every country has the capability for beyond-visual-range warfare and electronic warfare.
Similarly, not every major power's overseas bases have the capability for beyond-visual-range (BVR) and electronic warfare.
When a drone costs only 300 yuan, and a soldier's life costs only 300 yuan, this will directly change the war landscape of small countries and be fatal to the strategic deployments of many countries.
However, the fog of the times shrouded everyone.
Because drones have only been used in one exercise so far and have not yet participated in a large-scale war, the true development cost of drones is also unknown.
The conclusion reached by the American representative was met with nods of agreement from the representatives of the surrounding major powers, including France, Spain, and Britain.
In their eyes, these drones, apart from bullying small countries that lack air superiority and electronic warfare technology, cannot change anything in the current great power war situation.
However, compared to the confidence of the American representative, the composure of the representatives of the surrounding major powers was striking.
The monkey observation group in the corner, watching the drone combat footage on the screen, were already sweating profusely.
Because they discovered that their home environment almost perfectly matched the advantageous range of this drone strike operation.
This thing seems to have been made specifically for them.
If Xiao Rizhi's change of face is a change of face in response to this tough stance of responding with exercises, then their change of face is because they are truly afraid.
Moreover, the exercise was being held in Guangxi Province, and they were enthusiastically invited to watch it more than half a month in advance. It's hard for them not to have some serious doubts.
"Sir, what do you think was going on with that attack pattern just now?"
The monkey representative thought for a moment, then approached the American representative and respectfully asked, "If we encounter this kind of drone, how should we deal with it?"
"This should be a way to automatically pair and transfer remote control."
The American representative glanced at the monkey representative and offered a guess: "I speculate that the Red team's pilot remotely controlled the drone that appeared behind them, and then transferred and remotely controlled the self-destructing drone through online pairing."
The technical difficulty of achieving this is average; the main advantage lies in the good idea.
As for how to respond, the Blue team's current tactical arrangement is a very standard response —
[The Blue Team activated high-power microwave jamming, blocking wireless communication in the directional frequency band of the exercise battlefield, and moderately disrupting the operation of electronic equipment, causing a large number of Red Team drones to malfunction.]
[The Red Team activated microwave jamming, disrupting wireless communication across all frequency bands on the exercise battlefield!]
The American representative hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, two of the latest simulated battlefield updates popped up on the screen.
The blue team disabled the communication frequency band used by the red team's drone remote control and destroyed the red team's drone electronic equipment.
But less than three seconds.
The Red Team overturned the entire battlefield's wireless communication system.
The representatives from various countries were not at all surprised to see this.
Although they had just seen Xu Zelin's orders and the Dawn Plan.
But at this point, the tactics of using nets, trenches, and shotguns on the central line were no longer enough to stop the drone-guided attack.
If communication jamming and electronic interference are not activated, and the Red Team's drone offensive is not blocked, the entire Blue Team will collapse before dawn.
On the screen, countless drones began to land.
In just ten seconds, the once dark cloud of drones was reduced to a mere thousand.
"etc!"
Suddenly, the American representative, seeing the group of signal points on the screen still showing the drone flying in the air, immediately picked up a low-light telescope and looked out the window.
Upon seeing the drones still flying over the battlefield, he immediately widened his eyes and looked at the headquarters staff next to him.
"Your exercise was fake! Why didn't any of these drones land?"
"Sir, we have always been fair and transparent, and we never cheat."
The staff member answered in standard English, then picked up a pair of glasses from the table next to him and politely handed them over with a formulaic smile.
call-
"Sir, you didn't bring all your observation tools. You can't see this with a telescope; you need this to see it clearly."
This is?
Not far away.
The Mao representative, who had been silent until now, seemed to realize something when he saw the glasses.
He took out a pair of unusual glasses from his bag, rushed outside, put them on, and looked towards the Red Team's camp.
A series of flickering spots of light appeared in the lens and were then projected into his pupils.
"Electromagnetic shielding design + laser communication!"
Da Mao uttered a sentence.
The American and other observers who came out with them quickly picked up their glasses upon hearing this, and when they saw the shimmering spot of light, their eyes widened in shock.
On the other side, in the command center.
Ma Tian observed the situation in each observation room: the astonishment and shock of the major powers in Room 1, and the exclamations and delight from the desert side in Room 2.
ponder for a moment.
Ma Tian picked up the phone and spoke briefly with the think tank watching remotely. He then glanced at the somewhat shocked expression on the American representative's face in Observation Room 1 and couldn't help but frown.
"Is the representative from the American observation team simply lacking in technical knowledge, or is he just an exceptionally good actor?"
"Their multi-link laser communication and high-energy laser weapons, which were practically deployed several years ago and have a communication range exceeding 300 kilometers, are they really making this kind of face?"
Ma Tian thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to follow the advice of his think tank: always think the worst, keep a low profile and it's never a bad thing.
"Have the red team reduce the number of bee colonies they coordinate, keeping each colony under 200 hives. Don't make it too conspicuous, since there are too many colonies anyway, and our main seller's environment won't need them."
Ma Tian called his assistant over and earnestly instructed him, "Also, regarding the laser communication performance degradation, the maximum distance should be controlled at 30."
"Don't raise it any higher within a kilometer, and reduce the number of links from 48 to 6. Also, have Zhang Zhong's side provide a brief explanation."
"receive."
The assistant nodded and quickly turned to leave to make the arrangements.
