At the national level, deploying a formation with a smaller amount of ammunition is acceptable, but for PMC, the number of firepower delivered per aircraft per sortie is a very important metric.
Because they can only deploy one or two air attack units in one direction, and the ammunition carried by these one or two aircraft will never reach the theoretical maximum kill, that is, one bullet to eliminate one enemy.
The Mi-24V's machine gun turret fires 25 rounds in a short burst, guaranteeing at least one kill, and two kills would be a bonus.
As for rockets, two darts, designed purely for killing personnel, are fired at a time, enough to take out at least a squad of infantry, and on average, half a platoon.
Using statistical methods to measure the damage that a single attack helicopter sortie can inflict, the upper and lower limits are very clear.
Therefore, compared to destroying vehicles, the focus of the firepower defense is on eliminating personnel, and the priority is to strengthen the machine gun firepower with a larger ammunition capacity.
For example, in the final configuration of the Longbow Crossbow, the machine gun turret and the two rocket pods for firing guided rockets remain unchanged, but one of the two conventional 20-tube 80mm rocket pods is removed.
The vacated heavy-duty gantry was fitted with a GUV-8700 machine gun pod, a pod specifically designed for killing personnel and equipped with three Gatling guns.
The main gun is the classic Yak-B type 12.7mm quad-barrel aircraft machine gun, with a total of 750 rounds of ammunition, which is about half the ammunition capacity of the Mi-24V machine gun turret.
What is the casualty situation?
Old A readily agreed.
Alvin carefully chose his words.
"Isn't that a carrier-based frog-foot weapon on the Su-25UTG?"
He's only willing to help if the other party is truly capable; just like the boss said, they only want the best from Jihuo Defense.
He knew that the concentrated fire defense had a deep background, and operating a night-fighting version of the Frogfoot wouldn't be difficult, but they seemed to prefer the old female Hind.
"Well, our boss prefers to develop the civilian market for the Su-25. The pylons don't have to be mounted, but its small cannon ammunition capacity is really suitable for tourists to empty it all at once."
Old Ke answered immediately.
Once the other two MiG-29s are successfully delivered and his trainees are able to graduate smoothly, this contract for teaching and fighting on behalf of others will be coming to an end.
To be suitable for shipboard deployment, a significant amount of titanium alloy protective components were removed. While a standard frogfoot could withstand a portable missile, a shipboard frogfoot would be far from adequate.
Jihuo Defense may not have much else, but it has plenty of cheap peanuts. This thing has a simple structure and doesn't take much time to work on.
Seriously, you won't lose out or be cheated by buying 250 rounds.
Smelling the gunpowder smell in the air, Xia Yu stood at the window of the treehouse and asked Lao Ke.
"Great! I forgot your company also has a museum business. If you actually manage to operate the Su-25 project, I'll help you get a referral."
Replacing the old Warthog's GAU-8 ammunition is expensive, not to mention the 1350 rounds of ammunition required. Only a billionaire could afford to empty his ammunition at once.
"That's easy to say. To be honest, your skills as an instructor are overrated when it comes to leading tourists. I'll definitely recommend you when we need someone."
"Speaking of which, Fruit Bat, why doesn't your company operate a Su-25?"
Then there's the most practical aspect: income. Sanmao's salary was even lower than that of his neighbor Damao. All of his children were nearsighted, and none of them could become pilots to follow in his footsteps.
Having heard about the treatment of those in the concentrated fire defense, Wachslaw immediately had the idea of serving Xia Yu at his side.
Sanmao's instructor, Wachslaw, has already started looking for a new job.
More importantly, the A-10 was only a single-seat aircraft, and converting it to a two-seat configuration would be a significant investment.
Old A naturally retorted.
But they don't use MiG-29s, nor do they have any Su-25 units, so they can't get in at all!
Now that he had inside information about Alvin, he hurriedly made a request.
Xia Yu owns a Su-25UTG that was scrapped and then refurbished. Even if it weren't his private collection, one wouldn't be enough!
He plans to talk to Oslo after the New Year to see if he can take this opportunity to buy up the remaining few carrier-based frog feet.
After destroying all the tank targets at Boko Sanctuary and reloading his shells, Lyman returned to the battlefield and swept through several personnel gathering points.
The sporadic sounds of gunfire rang out throughout the night, and he returned to the target base in a Super Hornet after dawn.
"But you'll probably be flying a Su-25UTG then!"
A certain Mr. Huang, a Frankenstein's monster, denied having any perverse tastes, saying he simply enjoys the art of mixing and matching.
There's no other way. I'll go abroad to work and earn more money for my retirement, and also help out my son and daughter.
"Our company has an aircraft carrier; if we don't use shipborne frog feet, what will we use?"
Putting it into civilian use is indeed the most appropriate approach. Xia Yu is willing to pay a fair price for the sentiments of many people, so that the Sea Frog Foot can take off again on French-made aircraft carriers.
There were also two GSHG-7.62 quad-barreled machine guns, each with a capacity of 1,800 rounds. The entire pod, including the guns and ammunition, weighed only 450 kilograms, or about 1,000 pounds, but it was a nightmare for all infantrymen on the ground.
Wachslaw immediately realized what was happening.
It's essential to find a new job in advance; Wacheslough, who is not yet 50, doesn't want to leave the skies so soon.
Not to mention that Soviet-caliber bullets are made of copper-coated and painted steel, making the material costs cheaper than printing NATO bullets.
Of course, the accuracy is definitely not as high as that of a machine gun turret, but the lack of accuracy can be made up for with more ammunition.
Just as the two fighter jets were heading to the next stronghold, the battle at stronghold C was also nearing its end.
After finishing the attack, Instructor Sanmao, who had risen to a great height, asked a question.
Anyway, with that little military budget, they can't afford to repair the old Kuznetsov-class destroyer. The MiG-29Ks have all been converted into land-based aircraft, so the outdated Su-25UTGs might as well be put into the civilian market to make the most of their remaining value.
He is a dual pilot of the MiG-29 and Su-25, which is an important reason why the Zha De Air Force hired him. Old Vacanlo is capable of doing the work of two people.
"One person from each of the number 3 and number 4 groups was injured, but the good news is that they both sustained minor injuries."
After clearing the mounting brackets, Xia Yu piloted the Mi-24V back to base.
One of them was grazed in the arm by a bullet, and the other was bitten on the calf by shrapnel after a grenade was detonated by the stubbornly resisting militants.
You don't even need stitches for the abrasions on your arm; just disinfect and bandage it.
Dorothea picked out three shrapnel fragments of different sizes from her injured calf. Fortunately, none of them broke the bone. After stitching them up, she only needed to rest for a little over a month.
“Clean up the battlefield is the most dangerous part, especially when the target is an extremist organization.”
Xia Yu said with emotion.
Rebels and armed groups are only brave and fearless when they are high, unlike members of extremist groups who are bombs at all times.
"After you've finished clearing out the other strongholds, have the client's people come over. You can't just pay money and then do nothing."
He continued to give Old Ke instructions.
The client is God, but even Gods are divided into different classes.
The money provided by Niri Liya can only allow Jihuo Defense to reach this level; if you want better service, you'll have to pay more.
Last night's operation can only be described as completing the "decapitation" of Xie Kao and depleting some of the manpower of Boko Holy Land.
It was said that no one from stronghold C would escape, but according to the data records of the Roaring Eagle, at least one or two hundred people successfully escaped into the forest on foot.
Two BTR-82S tanks are still not enough firepower. Xia Yu may need to form a second-line mechanized infantry platoon and equip them with three more BTR-82S tanks.
After all, a vehicle needs to be left to guard a supply point, and a vehicle also needs to be left at a frontline medical point because the Marder K1's remote weapon station cannot be relied on.
For the task of annihilating the remaining enemy forces, defense is not the priority; sufficient firepower is all that matters. The BTR-82S eight-wheeled vehicle is actually more suitable than the Marder series tracked vehicles.
Surprisingly, while these thin-skinned infantry fighting vehicles didn't sell many, Jihuo Defense itself became a major user.
"Yes, boss!"
Old Ke quickly agreed.
This deployment of troops to Nirilya, Kamalon, and Zhade is only half complete; Boko Holy Land still has at least 5,000 combat-ready soldiers.
Having lost Xie Kao's leadership and a large number of vehicles, their potential to carry out terrorist attacks has greatly decreased, but they are still a threat.
The concentrated fire defense will spend two to three months coordinating with the military forces of the three countries to continuously strike the 5,000 people who have already dispersed, further weakening them before a new leader is born in the Holy Land of Boko.
During this period, Xia Yu will not continue to follow up, as he has other things to attend to.
My wife is about to give birth, and the third phase of the museum project, which has been in preparation for a long time, is about to officially open.
These matters will distract Xia Yu, leaving Hans, Kuhn, and Lao Ke to keep an eye on the latter half of the Boco Holy Land project.
He said he would take Xie Kao and the broken equipment with him later.
"Oh, my poor Miss T, what happened to you?"
Arriving at the T-64B1M vehicle, which was almost scrapped, Xia Yu couldn't help but touch the vehicle and say something.
Fortunately, the shockwave destroyed the T-72M1's observation and aiming equipment immediately after the self-destruction, and then the first layer of sharp blades was peeled off the (wrecked) vehicle.
The active defense system's pair of millimeter-wave radars on the front half of the vehicle were also rendered useless. Of the two triple interceptor missile mounts, the one that was empty remained in place, while the one with one interceptor missile left exploded directly.
The losses were indeed severe, but only in this way could he ask the client for compensation.
In the contract they signed, Xia Yu was fully responsible for any casualties, and the client had an obligation to provide appropriate compensation for any damage to equipment.
It's not surprising that the private military contracting industry has such terms, because their equipment cannot be insured.
If we don't seek to share some of the risk with the client, losing all the equipment could lead to immediate bankruptcy.
In fact, the original Nymphalio company, their old MiG-21s, old MiG-21s, and main battle tanks and artillery were not all their own.
They made extensive use of equipment provided by their employer, which reduced the company's operating costs, but also resulted in a loss of some profits.
Xia Yu has the system, and he can afford to maintain these equipment himself, but only a fool would refuse the compensation he is entitled to according to the contract.
His hometown was able to provide the equipment at cost price, which was already the best treatment he could get. He couldn't possibly expect to get his girlfriend for free!
"Boss, Miss T's face is completely ruined. If you ask me, we should take this opportunity to get her sister's car, and another T-80."
Hans, who is prone to getting bored with the old and seeking the new, offered this advice.
"You're dreaming. If you're disfigured, just get plastic surgery. A new car is too expensive. People aren't even old enough to be in a museum yet."
Xia Yu rejected Hans's suggestion outright.
In the future, he may add a second T-80 or a second Leclerc, but as a meritorious fighter for concentrated fire defense, the T-64B1M can still serve for at least another 5 years. We can't just retire it because it's been damaged.
"You're the boss, so you make the decisions. But what about the Panda train crew's schedule during the repair period?"
Seeing that he couldn't change cars, Hans didn't dwell on it. Instead, he asked Lao Huang and the others about their plans.
The vehicle is gone, so the crew can't be used as infantry!
“I’ve found them a good place for the next few months.”
Xia Yu waved his hand to indicate that everything was under his control.
My own car is gone for now, but other people have plenty of cars.
There are still a dozen or twenty T-72M1 and T-72AV vehicles left in Niriliya. Xia Yu plans to assign the Panda vehicle crew there as an advisory crew to show these big black guys what real armored warfare is like.
The targets in the tank museum are all T-72 series, and Xia Yu naturally took advantage of the situation to prepare one or two to keep at headquarters as hypothetical enemies.
The Panda crew is familiar with the operation of these whiteboard T-72s.
The secondhand T-72s that Niriyya brought from Eastern Europe were almost all blank, without even infrared headlights.
So what Lao Huang and his team need to teach is how to fight during the day.
This kind of hands-on training makes people grow faster than in school, because you can easily get your hands on RPGs and anti-tank missiles.
Without a leader, the organization of the Boko Holy Land has declined, but their fearlessness remains.
The Niri-Liya Army still needs to be prepared to lose tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, but fortunately there is concentrated fire defense to tackle the tough issues first.
"Yes, boss. The Panda crew will carry out your orders without fail and enhance the combat effectiveness of the client's crew."
On behalf of the entire crew, Lao Huang expressed his determination to Xia Yu.
"We need to improve this. We shouldn't buy such good tanks, not know how to use them, and then blame our products for being bad. You're helping us lay a good foundation in advance."
Xia Yu had observed the overall strength of the Niri Liya Army.
Leaving aside traditional infantry, his performance in technically skilled units with a bit of a skill ceiling can only be described as a complete mess.
Firing a mortar is a chaotic affair, while with a howitzer, it's good enough if the shells are fired. Whether they hit the target is uncertain, with a margin of error of at least 1 kilometer.
Fighter jets are crashing one after another, and almost all the red MiG-21s we bought have been lost in crashes. Only the Hind fleet is performing well. When they fight off fuel-stealing groups, a burst of machine gun fire wipes out an entire ship.
However, if this level of weaponry is used to deal with Boko Haram, once the decoys are used up, the aircraft will become a target for portable anti-aircraft missiles, and the pilots will be unable to perform any maneuvers to evade the missiles.
"Yes, boss!"
The three of them, Lao Huang, were all very dedicated to their mission, but when they actually met each other, they were truly amazed.
Restarting the T-64B1M, Little Bear drove the tank onto the trailer.
The transport team withdrew first under the protection of a squad of village guards, while Xia Yu, along with Xie Kao and the cash found in the treehouse, returned to Ajabu in a Super Hornet.
Large-scale extremist groups are very wealthy; after paying arms dealers, Shekau's stronghold still had nearly 10 million euros in cash.
With his $10 million headshots, the additional benefits from this deployment are still considerable.
Two wounded soldiers were also on the helicopter. Lao Wu suffered a leg injury and would be returning to China once he recovered.
This is the battlefield; they were mentally prepared for injury or even death before they arrived.
The fact that he only suffered minor injuries is the best possible outcome.
