Chapter 1235: Ishicha Falcon Joins the Battle

Mexico lacks everything. It has no advanced fighter jets and no advanced armed helicopters.

Bell 212, Mi-17, Black Hawk, these are all Mexican armed helicopters, but these helicopters are temporarily modified transport helicopters, and their weapons are just rocket launchers! They are still very good against Dufan, but they are useless against US ground forces.

But now, those flying in the sky are all armed helicopters! The front of these helicopters are two-seaters in tandem, and under the short wings on both sides, there are anti-tank missiles!

"Stone Falcon" armed helicopter! The helicopter that came this time was not from Mexico, nor from Argentina, but from South Africa! South Africans also got involved in this operation!

"Pay attention to air defense!" Major General George shouted loudly.

Since the U.S. Air Force can completely control the air superiority on the battlefield, the U.S. Army rarely needs to consider the issue of protecting their heads, so their equipment is updated relatively slowly.

Up to now, the main air defense weapon equipped by the US Army is still the Vulcan M1 anti-aircraft gun, which is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system that began to be developed in 1964, successfully developed in 1967 and used to replace the M55 12.7mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun.

This type of equipment uses the M113 transport vehicle as its chassis, and has six 20mm anti-aircraft guns installed directly on it. In fact, it can be considered a Gatling gun. This type of gun has a fast firing rate, up to thousands of rounds per minute, but its caliber is only 20mm, resulting in a range of only more than one thousand meters. Therefore, it cannot effectively protect the field divisions!

Even this thing has an open turret! If the personnel do not operate it remotely, they can only expose the upper half of their bodies, which requires courage.

Therefore, American soldiers also need individual air defense weapons! In the mechanized infantry battalion, there are still a certain number of Stinger air defense missiles!

The 1st Cavalry Division was a little panicked as they suddenly switched from marching to air defense. At the same time, the Stone Falcon armed helicopter in the sky had already arrived!

Under the long-term arms embargo, South Africa had to rebuild itself independently and develop its own equipment. South Africa cooperated with Israel to develop fighter jets. At the same time, in the field of armed helicopters, South Africa was also developing its own new armed helicopter, the Stone Kestrel.

This type of armed helicopter belongs to the 10-ton class. If compared with China's Z-10, its comprehensive indicators should be better than the Z-10, because the Z-10 also suffers from heart problems, resulting in weak mounting capacity.

Because of the embargo imposed by the outside world, South Africa used the existing technologies of South Africa to the greatest extent in its development. For example, it used the rotor and engine of the French "Jaguar" medium transport helicopter equipped by South Africa, so that the design and manufacture of this armed helicopter was completed in the shortest time.

In later generations, it was already the 1990s. At that time, South Africa had eliminated apartheid. After coming to power, the black South Africans joined in the development of this helicopter, which resulted in this helicopter being unable to have combat capabilities for a long time.

But now, things are different. The Soviet Union has fully joined the development of various projects in South Africa. The Soviet Union helped South Africa develop their own fighter jets and also helped them develop this armed helicopter.

With the help of the Soviet Union, the Stone Falcon attack helicopter was finalized and equipped to the troops in just two years after the project was launched in 1984! This time, South Africa sent all 22 of its Stone Falcons to fight the United States!

This type of armed helicopter is very similar to the later Stonechat Falcon. It also uses the Jaguar's power system and rotor system. However, other aspects are almost completely borrowed from the Soviet Mi-24 Hind helicopter, including the fire control system and weapon system, which are almost used as is.

Now, the short wings on both sides are equipped with the "Tornado" 9M120 anti-tank missiles, which are the latest Soviet anti-tank missiles! They are tube-launched, supersonic, and laser-guided! This type of missile is simply a weapon tailor-made for armed helicopters!

In later times, this missile was not successfully developed until the 1990s and equipped to the troops. However, like other weapon systems, after the development began in 1981, after several years of research and development, it has now been fully developed! At the same time, it has also been exported to other countries, including South Africa.

South Africa is now a staunch ally of the Soviet Union. For example, now it can send troops to fight the United States together with the armies of other countries. This is an opportunity to show loyalty!

Launch! From 5 kilometers away, the helicopter pilot pressed the button, and flames flickered under the short wings on both sides, and the Tornado anti-tank missile flew out!

Historically, the Ishigaki Falcon was only equipped with Europe's airborne "HOT"-3 anti-tank missile. But now, the performance of the Tornado missile is far superior to the HOT-3!

"Buzz!" The Vulcan anti-aircraft gun fired violently. The 20mm shells formed a barrage in the air. Now, they could not reach the enemy's armed helicopters at all. Their only hope was to shoot down the flying anti-tank missiles!

"Boom!" Unfortunately, the supersonic Tornado missile was not something that the 20mm anti-aircraft gun could intercept! It passed through the barrage of bullets without any damage, and the bullets fell behind it. Then, it came into close contact with the M1 tank in front of it! The missile did not hit the target directly. When it reached the side of the M1 tank, it playfully pulled up from a low altitude, and then dived down!

With a stationary armor-piercing capability of over 1,000 mm, hitting the top of an M1 is a piece of cake! This missile has excellent maneuverability and can even be used to strike aerial targets at speeds below 800 km/h!

Damn it!

The strike from five kilometers away left the Americans helpless, because even if they used Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, the range was only 4,800 meters! Five kilometers, beyond the range!

Now, he just takes the beating and doesn't fight back!
