Modern warfare is sometimes as simple as that.
Just like the Gulf War in 1991, when the US-led multinational forces fought a beautiful modern war, the Iran-Iraq war a few years ago was like a child's play.
Similarly, if tonight's battle in Damukan was a war between Iraq and Iraq, then when Nicholas Ballmer's two Hind gunships appeared, the war immediately became the first Gulf War.
The Gulf War once again proved with ironclad facts what a terrible thing it is to have overwhelming air supremacy and electromagnetic suppression in modern warfare.
Sa Boss deployed 77 divisions, 1.2 million men, 4,280 tanks, 2,800 artillery pieces, and 2,800 armored transport vehicles in his country.
And what about the multinational coalition?
People are very simple, that is, to bully your boss Sa Air Force is not good, electromagnetic suppression is not good, so I have been using fighter planes to bomb and bomb since the start of the war, using long-range precision strike firepower to blow up and bomb, and then using overwhelming electromagnetic suppression to paralyze your command system Your boss Sa has gathered so many ground troops for a kind of, under the bombardment of my big air force and precision-guided missiles, your ground troops are all scum In the end, the first Gulf War ended with 223 coalition forces killed and 697 wounded, 13 captured in 43 days, 25,000 Iraqi killed and 75,000 wounded.
If you don't look at anything else, just look at the battle loss ratio of the two sides to know what this war has become.
Where is this war, this is purely Lao Tzu beating his son!
Before the war, it is estimated that no one dared to imagine that this war would be like this, after all, Iraq at that time was also known as the fourth military power in the world, and the strength of the army was twice as large as that of the multinational coalition army, and it was fighting on the mainland, occupying the advantage of the right time, place and people, why did your multinational coalition army dare to fight against me?
But the result is so incredible, the multinational coalition forces are relying on strong air supremacy and electromagnetic suppression, like Lao Tzu beating his son, a crackling meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots, and directly obedient Boss Sa.
Then, both the woolly bear and the rabbit watched in amazement.
Damn, it turns out that war can still be played like this!
No, we have to keep pace with the times, otherwise the boss of Pizza won't be much better in the end The battle that took place one night in the winter of 1986 in the jade mining area of Damkan in Kachin State, northern Myanmar, was actually the same as the Iran-Iraq war or World War II, with one besieging and the other defending with superior weapons.
If the fight continues like this, as long as there is enough ammunition, I am afraid that this battle will not end after three days and three nights.
Neither side has air supremacy, so this battle is destined to be a close one.
Of course, if the 127 mm heavy machine guns on the dozen or so gunboats were to move to the front line, then with the power of these ten or so heavy machine guns, the Caron's troops would inevitably break through the warehouse area.
If it weren't for the fact that the two 37-mm high-level dual-purpose guns on the first two gunboats were too heavy for the Caron's soldiers to move, otherwise these two 37mm guns alone would have directly razed the warehouse area to the ground.
But whether it was a 127-mm heavy machine gun or a 37-mm high-level dual-purpose gun, after the appearance of the Hind gunship, they all immediately turned into slag.
Although the 127mm heavy machine gun can also pose a major threat to the Hind gunship, and the 37mm gun is the existence that the Hind gunship has to go around, but this is in the dark night, as long as the pilot of the Hind gunship is a little smarter, after turning off all the lighting equipment on the plane, even if the two Hinds hovering in mid-air, those heavy machine guns and 37mm guns will not be able to hit.
You can't see people, how can you aim and how to fight?
Besides, you really are so easy to deal with when you are an old hairy hind?
Do you really think that the rockets and air-to-surface missiles on the six weapon pylons on either side of the hind are a match?
Hind's rockets and air-to-surface missiles are something that even the T72 main battle tank can't compete with, so how can some of your 30-ton river gunboats resist it?
A single Hind can carry four 917-Phanga air-to-surface missiles and sixteen S-242400mm rockets, and these air-to-ground weapons alone can sweep all the gunboats away.
Not to mention the fact that there was also a Yak-B127 mm four-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun at the nose of the hind In order to reduce the weight and ensure the long range of the Hind, neither Hind was equipped with the more perverted GUV-8700 cannon pod, which would be a nightmare for the ground forces.
The GUV-8700 cannon pod is made up of three four-barreled Gatling guns, which means that when this thing fires, there are a total of three four-barreled Gatling guns firing at all times One Vulcan cannon is enough, and three of them are fired together, and just thinking about it makes me feel terrifying.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't have a GUV-8700 cannon pod, the Yak-B127mm four-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun at the nose alone is enough for the Burmese army to drink.
This 127 mm four-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun is not fixed on the ship or on the ground, people can "fly", condescending blows, who can withstand the?
To put it bluntly, even if Hind didn't use air-to-surface missiles or rockets, just pointing at the Yak-B127mm four-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun would have been enough to sink all those small gunboats.
In fact, when the roar of the helicopter engine sounded in the distance, there was a strange silence on the battlefield that was originally particularly lively, and both the government army and the warehouse security stopped shooting at each other at this moment, and quietly turned their heads to look for the helicopter in the sky.
But how can a Hind gunship with all the lights turned off be easily spotted?
Even if two black shadows could be faintly seen under the illumination of the flares, they would fly away without a trace in an instant.
The maximum flight speed of the female deer is also 90 meters per second The pilots of both Hinds were now equipped with active infrared detection equipment, and they were both wearing night vision devices, which was enough to ensure that they could clearly see the ground.
After circling in the air for a while, the two female deer suddenly separated, one east and one west, and flew towards the Wulu River.
Clearly, the pilots of the two hinds realized that the dozen or so gunboats docked on the river bank posed the greatest threat to them.
After two 917-phanga air-to-surface missiles broke away from the weapons pylons of the two Hinds, they immediately crossed the space of two kilometers at a speed of 400 meters per second in just five seconds, and accurately hit the two largest gunboats - the two 37 mm high-level dual-purpose guns installed on these two gunboats were too eye-catching, and it was really sorry for the valuable air-to-surface missiles if they didn't hit these two gunboats.
Although the 917-Phanga air-to-surface missile is not as powerful as the famous "Hellfire" missile in later generations, it is also at the level of "anti-aircraft guns fighting mosquitoes" when used to deal with this kind of small inland river gunboat.
When the two air-to-surface missiles accurately hit the gunboat with a screeching sound, two brilliant fireworks suddenly burst out on the Wulu River.
The high-energy explosives in the warhead of the 917-Phanga air-to-surface missile not only routed the gunboat in an instant, but also provoked the detonation of the ammunition in reserve in the gunboat.
On the battlefield, martyrdom has always been the most spectacular scene, and the effect of gunboats dying on the river is naturally not bad.
Even a few kilometers away in the warehouse area, you can see the two brilliant fireworks and the accompanying thunderous explosions.
These two missiles completely announced which side the two sudden gunships were on, which made the mine owners led by Yang Jing cheer loudly, and also made Caron's face suddenly look dead.
It is estimated that no one on this battlefield understands the importance of air supremacy better than Caron, he has been a soldier for 17 years, and has experienced hundreds of large and small battles, so he naturally knows the importance of air supremacy for a battle.
That's a decisive advantage!

If these two helicopter gunships did not appear, Karon was confident that he would have taken the entire Damukan mining area before the dawn of the morning, but after the two helicopters showed hostility to their side, Karon realized that the offensive plan on the Western Front had been a complete failure.
On such a low-intensity battlefield, a helicopter gunship suddenly appeared, which is simply cheating!
His sister, what kind of bastard summoned the big killer of the hell!
Isn't this sister a bully!
The ensuing battle confirmed Caron's conjecture, and when the two helicopter gunships hovered in mid-air for a while, constantly using the S-24 rockets in the rocket nest to launch targeted strikes on the gunboats that were struggling to turn around on the river and trying to escape, Caron was completely desperate.
The gunboats, which usually run fast and neatly on inland rivers, are clumsy like elephants with a stroke in front of helicopter gunships, and they are so clumsy that they can't bear to look at directly.
In a minute at most, the fourteen gunboats that followed the main battalion of Caron all the way upriver completely turned into fourteen huge fireworks, and almost none of the soldiers on the gunboats could escape, even if the soldiers of the organic spirit jumped ship to escape, they would be shocked to death on the spot by the shock wave generated by the violent explosion that followed.
After completely eliminating the most threatening gunboat, the two helicopters began to maneuver in a serpentine manner in the air, and then began to wreak havoc on the government forces on the ground with the remaining rockets in the rocket nest and the Yak-B 127mm four-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun at the nose of the nose.
In terms of the altitude and speed of the two helicopters, it is categorically impossible for an RPG, which can only shoot in a straight line, to hit both helicopters in such dark conditions.
Conversely, without flares fired from gunboats, helicopter gunships with infrared devices can easily distinguish between friend and foe below.
For a while, there was chaos on the battlefield, and the situation immediately became one-sided
