In other words, it's a generic product, making it difficult to differentiate itself from others.
The mainland-made products that can concentrate firepower are different; the difference in performance is very obvious.
"So don't worry about spending money, our family is rich!"
Xia Yu patted his wife on the back and said.
These days, you have to spend money to earn more money, and you have to spend real money to become stronger.
As for those whales next door, the reason they didn't get stronger despite spending money is probably because buying equipment is a pretense; paying protection money is their real intention.
They don't need to have high combat power, nor are they suitable to appear too strong; many examples serve as cautionary tales.
However, with the development of the times and the changes in the world situation, the "old-brand emperors" gradually declined and were no longer as powerful as they once were, which made these people's minds active.
Or rather, it wasn't just them; there were countless bystanders who remained indifferent.
"This money is worth spending; once it's spent, we won't have to be afraid of these missiles anymore."
With absolute military protection, Afika is not in much danger.
"The Wolverine performed very well. A modern main battle tank without sights is blind, but everyone should be aware that this tactic can also be used against us."
Why not just stick to a reflective sticker on the car instead of doing all these fancy things?
"Located in the desert, it is neither dark nor damp. If it weren't for the excessive sand and dust, it would actually be quite nice."
Machine guns and grenade launchers were enough to engage personnel targets, but it was just an observation post after all, so it's normal that it couldn't be held.
Xia Yu talked about armed helicopters.
"If the target is equipped with a machine gun, the mainstream caliber can't penetrate the frontal defenses of our tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, but it can destroy our observation and targeting systems and damage the millimeter-wave radar of our active protection system."
There were no rocket launchers or recoilless rifles, since the nearest main road to the castle was about 1 kilometer away, and only missiles could reach those armored targets.
Old Liu spoke.
If there are attack helicopters, then just eliminate that threat.
The TOW-2A has three launchers with 12 rounds of ammunition, while it only has two Javelin missiles. Its anti-aircraft missiles are mainly Igla, which is different from those in the city.
Like the previous probing attack, no attack helicopters were deployed before ground forces took action.
In modern warfare, medieval fortresses like castles are not very effective.
AceAce is just an extremist organization that rose to prominence by taking advantage of the situation. It is not difficult to eliminate it by investing resources. The difficulty lies in the behind-the-scenes resistance.
Mosquitoes can be driven away, infectious diseases can be prevented and controlled, wars can be quelled, and commerce can develop.
Once they reached the vicinity of the castle, apart from keeping watch on the snow leopard vehicle crew in the sky, the entire convoy turned off their engines and got out of their vehicles.
The problem is that we can't use heavy weapons to attack endangered world heritage sites.
Only by proactively identifying our own weaknesses can we prevent problems before they arise.
Liv commented simply.
"Fortunately, the enemy only had a Leopard 2A4. If they had an A6... well, wedge-shaped spaced composite armor wouldn't have been very reliable either."
Having moved beyond the limitations of single-unit attacks in the past, concentrated fire defense is now a joint operation.
The blast countermeasures in the turret and upper glacis areas need to be replaced. All I can say is that the one-piece blaster is better than the two-piece mango blaster.
This is why you need to stack three layers. With three layers, you can survive being hit by two steel needles in the same spot. With one or two layers, the armor-piercing body will have to create a hole in the base armor.
However, given the complex geopolitical situation in Syria, restoring genuine peace will be extremely difficult.
However, when it came to missiles, Grena and the government forces had seized quite a few from the castle.
She prefers places with distinct seasons to deserts.
"Then we'll prioritize attacking the infantry fighting vehicles."
"Buzz"
"This kind of castle isn't really suitable for modern people to live in!"
If the opponent uses premium ammunition with an effective penetration of 600mm+, it will definitely be opened up.
Even an invincible body can be broken; after all, even the strongest defense has its weaknesses.
Xia Yu and Liv also went over to join them. The most pitiful sight was the T-64B1M, the company's veteran vehicle, which had been hit by two steel needles.
"Climb to the top of the ramparts and look out at the armored convoy that has run out of ammunition and is withdrawing," Xia Yu said to Liv.
During halftime, Xia Yu, like a team coach, conducted a post-battle debriefing with the employees.
"That depends on whether there are any of our attack helicopters in the sky."
Hans is relatively pragmatic; even though it's a domestic product, he'll criticize it if necessary.
That could at most strip away one layer of defense from the T-64B1M, but after the DM43's long-rod armor-piercing body was physically severed by the radial jet generated by the detonation of the first layer of sharp-blade shaped charge, it was like an earthworm being split in two.
The path of the next segment, disturbed, is unknown, while the previous segment continues to penetrate forward until it detonates the second layer of blades, which cut through it again, and then stops at the surface of the third layer.
Secondly, it has distinct rainy and dry seasons and relatively convenient transportation, similar to coastal cities like Kongluga.
Liv nodded in agreement.
Having experienced the benefits of explosive countermeasures, he didn't want to drive a Leopard 2A6 and use its hollow armor, which was described as powerful but whose actual performance was unclear, to take on a short-range missile.
"The more important thing is to protect our self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. If necessary, we can afford to lose our observation and millimeter-wave radar, but we can't afford to lose our air defense radar!"
A complete set of observation and targeting equipment, along with the replacement of a single millimeter-wave radar, can be done for a six-figure sum.
The fragile self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was destroyed, and the losses soared to seven figures. The system can be repaired, but it is very troublesome to operate.
"Don't worry, boss, we will protect the Snow Leopard crew."
Huang Jingxiu, representing the Giant Panda crew, said.
"And us, our tanks are harder to penetrate, but as for the enemy's infantry fighting vehicles, we'll send them flying with rockets as soon as they show themselves."
Alexander chimed in from the side.
As the demand for anti-tank warfare gradually decreases, the company is gradually replacing its equipment with multi-purpose cartridges that have low penetration depth and large explosive charge.
Even so, the equivalent penetration depth of 100mm+ homogeneous steel still makes it easy to open up the tanks of infantry fighting vehicles.
As long as the digital team disembarks and accompanies them, their response speed will definitely be faster than that of the vehicle crew.
“Great, this deployment is a big deal. After it’s over, I’ll give the veteran employees a vacation, and the new employees will have to do more work. They’ll be sent back to Zhongfei to pave the way first.”
Xia Yu announced the company's next steps.
He is not the kind of leader who makes the first-year high school students sweep the floor this year and then makes the second-year high school students do it next year. The older employees who have to take on more assignments should be given a vacation.
New employees need to be trained, and it would be more appropriate to have them perform some low-intensity clearing missions during this period.
"Yes, boss!"
Everyone present responded.
"Then we'll dismiss you. You have two and a half hours left."
After Xia Yu announced the disbandment, they went back to the car to rest.
Two kilometers away in the main urban area, gunshots and explosions rang out, and flashes of light appeared from time to time.
This is a battle involving thousands of people. Concentrated fire can break the enemy's morale, but as long as the enemy does not withdraw from the city, it is impossible to harvest them in large numbers.
Therefore, it is necessary to deploy equal, or even more, troops for search and encirclement.
This is the job of Grenadier and the government forces.
Without concentrated firepower to break the deadlock, they would have lost hundreds or even thousands of men before even reaching this stage.
And now, all of them have survived.
"Calling the fennec foxes, how are you doing?"
Xia Yu called out to Christian.
"Just got on the bus, and are currently withdrawing from the main urban area."
Old Ke replied over the radio.
Teams A and B, having completed their infiltration mission, are making contact with Gna and are evacuating Balmira in a BTR-80.
What's Ace's latest move?
Xia Yu continued to inquire.
"There is a tendency to avoid battle and preserve combat strength, which must have been authorized by the commander."
Old Ke's tone was very certain.
This demonstrates the organizational power of an extreme religious banner; if it were Afika's rebels, their main force would have withdrawn and fled.
Xia Yu's original plan was to "attack while the enemy is crossing the river" as soon as Hussein fled.
But now that the other party has chosen to stay, should the company implement Plan B?
Even those who roam the martial world have more than one set of plans, let alone someone like Xia Yu who is constantly on the battlefield. He had already made preparations for this kind of situation.
"Call the baboon, come and pick me up."
"Yes, boss!"
Andrei, who remained at the outpost, immediately flew to Balmyra Castle in his Super Frelon.
At the same time, two BTR-80 tanks also brought Team A and Team B back, at which point all members of the concentrated fire defense team temporarily withdrew from the main urban battlefield.
"The halftime break is canceled. Everyone go back to camp to rest. We'll be opening up a second front tomorrow."
Xia Yu announced this to all employees.
Yes, his target changed to Elek. Since Hosseini didn't want to withdraw from Balmira, he didn't hold back and directly wiped out their rear, taking down Ace's 700 men in the oilfield town.
"The city area has been reduced to a quarter of Balmira's size, and all the personnel are second-line fighters. This is fantastic! But how are we going to get there?"
After withdrawing to the outpost, the ordinary employees went straight back to their barracks to rest, but Xia Yu gathered the vehicle commander, the three team leaders, and the core members of the instructor group together for a short meeting. Lao Yi spoke at the meeting.
The only route to Elek is through Balmira. Helicopters can certainly get there, but what about their armored convoy?
"Let's just charge straight there!"
Xia Yu said matter-of-factly.
The old saying goes that when you're poor, you should use flanking maneuvers; when you're rich, you should use overwhelming firepower. But in this situation, the only option is to use heavy firepower to penetrate and directly break through the main battlefield of Balmira.
Is that even possible?
Huang Jingxiu, Lao Liu, and Lao Yi, you look at each other, and when you think about it carefully, it really does seem like that.
The Ace in the main city area were defeated by them, but they were not completely taken over by the Gna and the government forces.
The concentrated fire defense must be interspersed, or rather, only they can infiltrate the entire main city, leaping to Elek and opening up a second front.
"Half of these 700 men are raw recruits. We can completely crush them after resupplying them with ammunition once at most."
Xia Yu continued to explain his battle plan.
"This batch of ammunition will also be delivered by air, and to avoid any accidents, the Haitang Rabbit crew will go into battle with us."
At this point, everyone looked at Liv.
The proprietress went along too, which made me feel really at ease. As for whether it was safe, I really didn't need to worry about that.
The Marder K1 is equipped with add-on armor, light explosive reactive armor, and slat armor. Its active protection system can hit friendly forces, and its close-range steel needles are the only threat. But with both of Ace's Leopard 2 tanks destroyed, what danger could it possibly pose?
"This is the intelligence Elek has gathered recently. Take it back and take a look. We'll officially take action tomorrow."
As Xia Yu spoke, Domi handed out a printed copy of the intelligence document that was kept in the safe to everyone.
Since it was just a backup plan, he only discussed it with a few people, telling the others to focus on the Palmyra battlefield, a crucial second-line battlefield, and that it wasn't too late to start learning about it now.
After the meeting was adjourned, nothing was said that night. It wasn't until the sun rose the next day that Xia Yu, who had been in a deep sleep for 6 hours, opened his eyes.
As he walked out of the barracks, he saw two Leopard 2A4 tanks.
Xia Yu asked Old Ye Fu to help bring them back. For a system that can turn decay into magic, as long as there are no flying heads, there is still hope.
Losing the head is really a problem, because even if the head is recovered, it's just an empty shell, and its integrity will definitely drop below 70%.
Now, apart from having a few more soul rings from the crew, the two vehicles are in pretty good condition, considering they don't have much ammunition.
The Leopard 2A4 was hidden in the Golden Horn shop.
At first, I thought it was stuck in place, but it turned out that the engine compartment of the car was empty.
Yes, only a gun turret with its engine destroyed could be captured so intact and still be used as a fixed gun emplacement.
Xia Yu reached out and touched...
[Project: Leopard 2A4]
Completeness: 72.1%
Without a power pack, its completeness is barely up to standard.
However, it doesn't matter if it doesn't meet the standards. You can either prepare another Leopard 2A4 first, or directly remove the power pack from a Leclerc UAE.
This 1500-horsepower European power pack was a best-selling product back then, and it wasn't just the Leopard 2 that used it.
After confirming that both vehicles could be saved, Xia Yu went straight to have breakfast.
He prepared two Leopard 2A4s mainly for collection and modification, after all, this is a zoo!
But this leopard is not that leopard. Apart from the Tuerqi people, very few people who own this vehicle would expect to use it for war, even if it is the Leopard 2A6.
The reason is simple: this skull is inherently flawed, and the hollow armor offers very limited improvement.
But just like a supercar you'll never drive on the highway, who wouldn't want to own a Leopard 2?
Xia Yu also wanted to, but he couldn't afford to buy it. Now that it was delivered to his door, he could consider investing resources to modify it.
One vehicle was converted into a red Leopard 2, and another had its 55-caliber RH-120-L55 long barrel replaced with a full range of other subsystems, upgrading it to the Leopard 2A7 standard!
Although short ones are cute, no one would refuse the chance to grow longer.
Not to mention that he got his hands on that gun barrel two years ago; those wasteful Germans even dismantled and recycled the Leopard 2A6.
They were on high alert. Since they couldn't get a whole vehicle at the time, Xia Yu got some parts, thinking he could use them if he had the chance to get a Leopard 2A4 in the future.
Now this can come in handy, since Ace Ace delivered it to him.
You didn't spend a single penny, and you got both Leopard 2s to take home.
Using these early-acquired parts, you can first upgrade to the Leopard 2A6 standard, and then upgrading to the A7 will be much easier.
As for the Leopard 2 (red) and KF-51 Panther tanks, both based on the Leopard 2 chassis, they can use the 130mm L52 barrel. Why can't they be fitted with a certain type of 125mm barrel?
The Leclerc couldn't be modified in caliber due to problems with its autoloader, while the Leopard 2, which uses a Germanic autoloader, didn't have this issue and could be loaded entirely manually.
