So what was the result? After the flames and smoke disappeared, the first layer of fossils was undoubtedly penetrated, but the pre-charge of the Kornet tandem warhead only detonated half of the first layer.
Yes, setting aside lengthy explanations, a layer of fossil heavy blast reaction can be viewed as two pieces of contact with a certain gap between them and with cushioning material installed -5.
Whether it's rocket launchers or anti-tank missiles, they ran into a tough hole when faced with the tandem warhead that was so effective against single-layer explosive reactive armor. They only used up 0.5 layers before the rear-mounted main charge was used for a strong attack.
However, after the remaining 0.5 layers, there was another complete fossil layer. The inverted hollow explosive liner was transformed into a metal jet under the enormous kinetic energy of the explosive, detonating half-layers of reactive armor until it collided with the base armor of the T-80BVM without any force.
The double-layered fossil shield successfully blocked the spear forged from the cornet, but if it were hit in the same spot again, there would be no saving it.
"Calling the 'Koujiro'! My crew's upper right flank is severely damaged. You need to move forward and cover the damage immediately!"
The golden snub-nosed monkey is calling out to the second-generation marsupial on the radio.
"yes!"
The Kosmoker crew, who had just switched equipment with the Mole crew, accelerated in their KF-31 Lynx and rushed directly in front of the T-80BVM, turning their 30mm main gun to the position where they had just launched the missile.
"Knock knock knock"
The roar of machine guns followed, but the Spike-SR was a one-time use weapon. After firing it, the anti-tank gunners discarded the launcher and ran away from the position.
The small team of Kornets, with a few people serving them, took off the empty launch tubes and threw them away. They then carried the launcher and two spare rounds and headed towards the next pre-arranged position.
The first round of shells fired by the sniper tank crew all missed, but the firepower suppression was still quite effective. Those light infantrymen, who were at most being unable to lift their heads due to heavy machine gun fire from the military and their competitors, did not dare to gamble on whether the enemy's shells were aimed at them.
As long as the cannon fire continues, just lie down and don't look up.
However, the elite troops that Elmenjohn was paid high salaries to were still reliable, especially the cornet squad.
The main gunner, panting heavily, lowered his body and locked onto the target using the thermal imaging channel. The assistant gunner beside him quickly loaded the second cornet into the launcher. The two worked together very skillfully.
Well, a generous reward will surely attract brave men.
The well-funded Elmenjohn offered a $3 million bounty for each infantry fighting vehicle delivered to the Firepower Defense.
Anyone who destroys these armored units will receive the money, and then you can choose to retire or join the CJNJ Special Forces Supreme Command to protect him, Elmenjo.
There are many people who want the bonus and want to improve, but unfortunately they chose the wrong opponents.
After completing the initial thermal imaging lock on the target, the main gunner immediately activated the laser sight.
In the darkness of night, invisible to the naked eye, a laser beam shot out silently, traveling 2.1 kilometers before fixing on the KF-31 Lynx vehicle.
"We've been located 2 kilometers from the 10 o'clock position."
The laser beam coming from the opposite direction was clearly visible through the commander's panoramic mirror, which integrated a low-light night vision device, and the Fukui crew directly locked onto the other side in the opposite direction.
"call out"
The Kornet team fired a second missile, but the concentrated firepower of the defense team was not intimidated in this 1v1 confrontation.
"Pfft pfft"
"Boom!"
Two interceptor missiles easily destroyed the lone Kornet, and the next second after the smoke cleared, the anti-tank missile module integrated on the right side of the turret rose up.
"call out"
A Spike-LR2 was fired at the other side, striking the drug cartel that had no heavily armored targets. All the Spikes on the KF-31 and KF-41 were replaced with versions that had penetrating explosive fragmentation warheads.
After flying a mere 2 kilometers, the PBF warhead penetrated the wall of the self-built house before the time-delay fuse detonated the explosive charge.
"boom"
The flying shrapnel wiped out the entire four-person short-nosed band that was just packing up to run away.
At this point, the outpost's only means of dealing with the armored assault team was a few RPG-29 heavy cannons. However, in the pitch black, even with individual night vision goggles, they couldn't aim accurately, and the battle quickly turned into a one-sided situation.
Similar scenarios occurred simultaneously in multiple locations, with the old Cheetah dealing with potential suicide drones, and the combination of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles depleting the opponent's anti-tank weapons and providing fire suppression.
The Digital Team, the SRT Special Response Team, and the Village Protection Team arrived last and completely captured these strongholds.
"Damn it, we've lost another 700 men."
Elmenjo's eyes were bloodshot; he was no longer in the mood to work out, overwhelmed by one bad news after another.
The anti-tank mines that were fired simply blasted open a passage for the enemy, and the anti-tank missiles that were expected to achieve the same result were equally ineffective.
Just as described in the intelligence, all the armored units of Jihuo Defense were piled up like tortoise shells by that guy Sherlock's money.
Furthermore, the consumer-grade drones that he had always been optimistic about and planned to establish as a dedicated drone force were all shot down without exception, protected by those self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.
It's too difficult. No matter what tactics we use, or innovative approaches, we simply can't break through their defenses.
The only feasible solution would probably be to concentrate several multiple rocket launchers and bombard the armored convoy that had entered the pre-set position.
Elmenjo could certainly afford it, but there wasn't enough time. After some internal struggle, he decided to give up on retaliating against these troublesome infantry fighting vehicles.
Add to that the tanks that suddenly appeared, and this PMC repeatedly broke through Old Ai's defenses.
He thought the only tough challenge was those few infantry fighting vehicles, but little did he know that the other side had five main battle tanks hidden on that dock landing ship, which they only brought out now.
These guys have absolutely no sportsmanship; they're bullying people like it's nothing.
"Boss, some of the outer team members have already escaped. If this continues..."
His subordinate stopped halfway through his explanation, and Elmenjohn knew what was coming next.
“I know they’ll run off to join CDS. It doesn’t matter who they work for, they don’t even need to change locations, they can stay at the same base.”
Having calmed his anger, Old Ai sighed and said...
The concentrated firepower attack targeted CJNJ, but the biggest beneficiaries were the drug cartel groups led by CDS.
However, he believed that the territory that had been taken away by competitors would eventually be taken back by CJNJ. Their difficulties were only temporary, and that PMC company could not stay in Moxi Ge forever.
Based on the available intelligence, Elmenjohn's judgment cannot be said to be wrong, but if he knew that the Márquez father and son planned to use the Firepower Defense as a model to form a new PMC company, his expression would definitely be quite varied.
This is never going to end! Are they not allowed to sell laundry detergent and fight for territory in a peaceful way?
If the military and police can't handle the drug cartel, then let PMC handle it. Although the news hasn't been made public yet, Márquez has already obtained authorization from the president.
The total authorized strength for both full-time employees and village protection teams was 1,000. The more specialized full-time employees, needless to say, would be recruited from South America. The village protection teams, however, would be recruited according to Marine Corps standards; physical fitness aside, they absolutely had to have a blood feud with drug cartels.
Such employees will not become corrupt or betray their employers, and they will be willing to work themselves to the bone.
The Márquez family gave them a chance to get revenge, and the rest of them just picked up their guns and went for it.
However, military skills training must be in place, and as for equipment, light weapons are easy to choose from, but the important thing is the heavy equipment.
In their quest to master concentrated fire defense, the father and son ended up with a poor imitation, wanting attack helicopters, tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles—they wanted them all.
The two newly launched modified Hinds from Jihuo Defense are old platforms costing just over $10 million. The new modifications are not as good as the old Deer Tiger and Longbow Cross Deer in terms of overall combat capability, but they are sufficient for Mexico.
As for tanks, they are basically used as shield vehicles; there's no need to use T-80s or Leclercs.
Xia Yu's T-64B1M, which had been unable to find a second buyer, has finally found a market.
Just use the original artillery system; as long as it can fire grenades, that's fine.
The most important thing is protective capabilities; a single layer of sharp blades or a single layer of fossils is sufficient. Active defense systems are only equipped on the lead vehicle.
Once the interceptor missiles are used up, they switch to another vehicle. Basically, two T-64B1Ms are grouped together in one squad.
Upon hearing that a tank was worth only $2.5 million, Márquez immediately ordered eight, bringing the total to just $20 million.
The main focus is on infantry fighting vehicles, and the Marder S30 will be the one to work with the T-64B1M to tackle tough challenges. As a second-line force, the village protection team can be equipped with a rotating BTR-82S.
After weighing the options, Lao Ma opted for 8+16 vehicles, and then, at Xia Yu's suggestion, he added 4 old Cheetah consumer-grade drones for defense.
Thus, the newly formed PMC company owned a total of 36 tracked and wheeled platforms.
Although its combat power is far inferior, it has surpassed the concentrated fire defense in terms of the number of active armored units.
Of course, if you include the armored units that Xia Yu bought back as investment products, modification platforms, and unmanned target vehicles, these 36 vehicles are just a small fraction.
In actual combat and siege warfare, the sheer number of equipment in operation presents two challenges: firstly, it hinders rapid deployment, and secondly, it makes gold-based currency conversion inconvenient.
The unequipped vehicles were all left at the mine, and could only be considered as the third-line force of the concentrated fire defense, while the first-line forces had to use the best equipment.
After finalizing these weapons and equipment, Lao Ma purchased 12 Gazelle helicopters, half of which were armed and the other half were transport helicopters.
For sensitive equipment like reconnaissance and strike drones, Xia Yu suggested that the military should handle it. Very few private military contractors actually have these things; most borrow them from government forces with whom they have good relations.
The Scan Eagle, a weapon of the Central Fire Defense Equipment, cannot carry ammunition; the Sparrowhawk B can only carry two Spike rounds; and the CH-4 is also "rented" from Busa.
There's no other reason. The threshold for using reconnaissance and strike drones is much lower than that for attack helicopters and fighter jets. They can easily get involved in politics, and everyone feels more at ease when the ownership is in the hands of the government.
This is one of the reasons why Márquez was concerned about the influx of American MQ-9. Fortunately, Márquez's "generous donation" also curbed the development of the drug cartel.
The newly established PMC company will be at the forefront of the fight, going head-to-head with these laundry detergent vendors.
As for whether they could wipe out the enemy and eliminate their hundreds of thousands of troops, Xia Yu was not optimistic.
The father and son can only play a deterrent role, but the upgrade in firepower will visibly intensify the competition in Moxi's anti-drug war equipment.
There was nothing they could do; their adversary was a drug cartel. As one of the wealthiest groups in the world, they had plenty of funds to buy new equipment.
Previously, there was simply no need for this, but the arrival of Focused Firepower and the consolidation of the new company will disrupt the previous balance with a series of combined measures.
These guys who risk their lives for a living will not sit idly by and wait to die.
They would wave green banknotes, find daring forces like the Romani arms dealers, buy all sorts of weapons and equipment, and fight against the encirclement of private military contractors.
However, by then, it will be seven or eight years later. We can just have Old Ma upgrade the equipment then. It's just an "arms race," after all. With concentrated fire defense as a strong backing, they can't lose.
"These equipment will be ready by the end of the year and will be delivered around New Year's Day."
After some calculations, Xia Yu gave an accurate time.
"No rush, but we do hope Mr. Sherlock can help us with the training of both full-time employees and members of the village protection team. We hope to carry out their training in Afica."
"Márquez said solemnly."
If this happened in Mexico, where people are living in dire straits, those drug cartels would probably be sending rockets at us every few days.
Only when Afika is trained to the point of being combat-ready and ready for action upon return can the complex domestic situation be dealt with.
"And Rudolph, I hope his internship can be extended until the company officially opens."
Old Ma started talking about his son again.
It was CJNJ who drove the father and son down this path. As for the other drug cartels, blame Elmenjo!
"It's only right, I won't keep anything to myself."
Xia Yu also made a promise: he would own 30% of the new company and would make sure Rudolph was fully crammed with knowledge, even if it meant rote learning, so that he wouldn't regret not having enough knowledge when he needed it.
However, in the PMC world, there is only one Weasel Boss Huang. Rudolph, who has some experience in racing and piloting helicopters and single-engine aircraft, is unlikely to be able to charge into battle like this cheater.
However, the other party's conditions are better than most people's. After all, he is a second-generation rich kid. He has no military service or related work experience, but he can still master the driving of multiple vehicles at his own expense.
With such a foundation, even without much military theory knowledge, one can become a professional PMC company owner.
After all, limiting the opponent to drug cartels means there are many lessons to be learned, allowing for a more targeted approach.
"Let's not go back yet. He can join my crew for the rest of the operations!"
Xia Yu thought for a moment and then continued.
After spending a month on the infantry fighting vehicle, it's time to move on to the next stage of instruction.
By assigning him to the Weasel crew, he will give this kid an unforgettable experience.
"Really? I can ride in Mr. Sherlock's Mi-24V?"
Upon hearing the news from his father, Rudolf, who never vomited even when the infantry fighting vehicle was bumpy, was extremely excited, as he could see his own growth along the way.
Even though I'm still an intern, I've been assigned to the Weasel crew today, and I believe that I can become the next Weasel tomorrow.
