Chapter 232
The Army Aviation Brigade underwent several adjustments.
The establishment is tentatively three assault infantry battalions, with nearly 2,000 heavily armed light infantry.
However, this group of light infantry is not ordinary.
Has certain special operations capabilities.
Because their operational environment itself lacks the support of ground heavy forces.
So not only high combat effectiveness, but also very good equipment.
It is equipped with a large number of anti-tank rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, as well as vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft missiles, etc.
Among them, the designation of the vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft missile is the FK-1 Guardian mobile air defense system.
It has a very good carrier platform.
It is a short- and medium-range field air defense system specially developed for field troops.
Among them, the anti-aircraft missiles armed by the army aviation brigade are modified in multipurpose off-road vehicles.
On the roof of the car was equipped with a quadruple Guardian anti-aircraft missile launcher.
The combat full weight was 90 kg, and it was carried on board with a solid rocket motor.
The maximum flight speed can reach Mach 1.5 per hour.
The effective firing range is about 6 km, and the height is 3000 m.
The passive infrared guidance method is used.
In this age when there were no thermal decoy.
Unless it is 29 facing the sun.
Otherwise, for these propeller fighters is a dozen quasi.
In addition to three air assault infantry battalions.
There is also a reconnaissance gunship battalion.
At present, this light weapon is not yet installed.
It is mainly focused on reconnaissance, so it will carry a lot of optical or other reconnaissance equipment.
But it also has not weak armed capabilities.
It is a veritable light armed helicopter.
It is possible to supplement the firepower of the army aviation brigade.
Among them, the Wuzhi-38 medium armed helicopter will be equipped with two battalions, a total of 36 aircraft.
There are also 3 transport helicopter battalions.
At present, it mainly focuses on Z-20 utility helicopters.
If medium and heavy transport helicopters are fitted.
It will be mainly equipped with medium-sized equipment, supplemented by utility helicopters and heavy transport helicopters.
In addition to this, there is a support camp.
The entire Army Aviation Brigade has a total of ten battalions.
In fact, this is a scaled-down version of the air assault division.
However, as a pilot force, it will not be too large at the beginning.
In the process of piloting, a serious problem was found.
This composition and scale looks strong.
After all, it is equipped with a large number of gunships.
However, fighting behind enemy lines often suffers from the lack of ground heavy firepower support.
All were temporarily integrated into a light artillery battalion.
Since currently only the MlA1 75-mm light howitzer is suitable for airlift.
So this battalion was armed with 36 guns of modification.
As for the 105-mm howitzer, due to its excessive weight, which reached 2.2 tons, it could not be hoisted in the air.
This also makes the army aviation urgently need an advanced medium transport helicopter.
At the same time, a lightweight army long-range artillery support system was also established.
When this artillery project was established.
The interest shown by the Army is still very large.
Although now the main forces are equipped with self-propelled guns or wheeled assault guns.
But the Army still has more units equipped with towed artillery.
At present, the towed artillery equipped by the army is still mainly American-made 105mm howitzers and 155mm howitzers.
Both guns have their own problems.
The 105-mm howitzer has too close a range and is less powerful.
The range of the 155-mm howitzer was enough, but it was too heavy for maneuverability.
After all, the weight of this thing is 13 tons.
Maybe nothing before.
After all, that's how the conditions were at that time. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
These two guns were very advanced at the time.
Plus the army did not attach much importance to towed artillery.
Therefore, these two guns are still the main artillery of the troops of the Second Line Army Group.
Now, the lightweight army long-range artillery project proposed by the Army Equipment Planning Department has revived the interest of the army top brass in towed artillery.
The project required a gun caliber of 155 mm, a weight of no more than 6 tons, and a firing range of no less than 20 km.
It has the characteristics of long range, fast rate of fire, high precision, strong mobility and high power.
The weight of 6 tons meets the army's requirements for lightweight heavy artillery.
It can also be hoisted by helicopter.
In fact, this thing is not too difficult for the current technology of Huaxia.
In terms of artillery, the army is a veritable cannon doctrine, with a fear of insufficient firepower.
Since it is necessary to pursue the lightweight of artillery.
Then only titanium alloys and aluminum alloys can be used in large quantities.
The biggest feature of these two things is that the price is relatively expensive.
At least much more expensive than the steel used in artillery.
However, the reserves of these two minerals in China are still very large.
However, the cost of smelting is higher, but it is not much higher.
In terms of manufacturing cost, it is just an artillery gun of the same level.
The service of gunships gave birth not only to the formation of the Army Aviation Brigade.
It also promoted the modernization of the army and the restructuring of the force.
With the rapid development of Huaxia in science and technology.
Especially in terms of electronic technology, it can be described as coming in by leaps and bounds.
The advent of transistors has made many electronic devices more than miniaturized.
It has greatly improved in terms of reliability and performance.
Especially in terms of communication equipment.
The Air Force, Navy and Army have all developed their own datalink systems.
Although the current data link system is very simple, it cannot be compared with the network data link of later generations.
But in terms of communications, it has been greatly improved.
This data link system is actually an electronic information system.
Troops at all levels are equipped with corresponding equipment.
107 has realized automatic control in information collection, command and other parts.
This is also the beginning of the construction of the informationized force of the Huaxia National Defense.
The road of information construction of eagle sauce also started in the 50s.
It is precisely because of the highly developed communication and the application of data links that the army has further changed.
And this change is synthesis.
A few years ago, the Army underwent a composite restructuring.
The army's five armies belong to the combined armies of various arms.
Each of them had the main divisions of heavy artillery divisions, mechanized infantry divisions, motorized infantry divisions, and artillery divisions.
This synthesis is also due to the limitations of communication equipment.
Therefore, it stops at the level of division.
And this time the army wants to reform at the division level.
Feasibility studies for synthesizers have begun.
Moreover, the investigation report on the restructuring of the army's composite chemical division was also handed over to the office of the chairman of the Supreme High Command.
That is, on Zhang Xueming's desk.
Zhang Xueming was still very interested in the plan proposed by the army.
Synthesis is comprehensive for the increase in the combat effectiveness of the troops.
The core of the so-called synthesis is actually multi-arm collaborative combat.
And multi-branch coordinated operations have very high requirements for communication.
The emergence of the Army tactical data link solved this problem to some extent.
The combined army group army of various arms has also given the army a deep understanding of the integrated force.
So this synthesizer is actually a matter of course.
