Just as Lin Xuan was preparing to send troops to Sanaag Region, which was the area controlled by Barre to maintain peace and restore public order.
Yan Kuan, the chief scientist of the Red Alert Corps and the director of the combat laboratory, came to the door.
He also reported a piece of good news to him.
The first product developed by the combat laboratory was successfully developed.
It was the advanced long-range drone project that achieved a complete success.
Lin Xuan also saw the physical map of this drone in the combat laboratory.
The advanced drone was developed and improved on the basis of the explosive drone.
He borrowed a lot of technology from the explosive drones.
For example, the explosive drone's dragonfly-like flapping wing structure had two flapping wings on both sides of the body.
The power was changed from solar energy to a miniaturized variable cycle engine.
This variable cycle engine had two modes.
One was the turbine-fan engine mode, which utilized fuel-efficient technology to the extreme.
The working principle was to open the middle and outer flow valve, turning the engine into a large bypass ratio engine.
Because of this, although the power output would be reduced, the fuel economy was very high.
The other mode was high-speed mode.
The three air flow valve inside and outside were closed, turning into a small bypass ratio engine, which was also the most powerful mode.
It could allow this drone to have the ability to fly at high speed.
Due to the special wing structure, supersonic flight was not possible.
However, flying at high subsonic speeds was not a problem.
With a powerful engine and a mature flapping wing structure, this drone was given a unique feature.
It could fly at high altitudes and high speeds like fixed-wing flight, and it could also hover like a helicopter.
With a maximum take-off weight of 6 tons, it had a maximum flight speed of 1140 kilometers per hour.
If they were to use the economical fan mode for the entire flight.
Its maximum range was 15,000 kilometers, and its combat radius exceeded 6000 kilometers.
Due to the special structure of the flapping wings, the drone adopted the internal ammunition mode.
It had two magazines of different sizes, one at the front and one at the back. The maximum internal load could reach 2 tons.
Two tons of ammunition was enough for a drone.
In addition to these, it also had a highly intelligent autonomous combat system.
As long as the ground control station set up the combat target and transmitted the collected information to the drone in real time.
It would formulate the most effective combat method based on the true state of the battlefield.
Even if it lost contact with the ground console, it would still execute the battle plan and self-destruct after completing the mission.
When he saw this drone, Lin Xuan was still very satisfied.
It could be said that it was simply impeccable.
Especially the novel flapping wing structure, it was like an alien sci-fi product.
"Does it have a name?"
Lin Xuan touched its retracted wings and asked.
Yan Kuan rubbed his eyes and shook his head."Not yet. Commander, please give me a name.”
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said,"Then let's call it the Sky Guardian."”
"Right, we have to hurry up with the military sale of the drones and Tengu fighter jets. There are still more than two months left.”
" Don't worry, Commander," Yan Kuan said confidently." As long as the funds are in place, everything will be fine."”
“........”
Right now, he felt a headache whenever he heard the word 'funds'.
Fortunately, as long as they took down Sanaag, there would be many small and medium-sized mineral deposits there, and there were three medium-sized iron mines.
At that time, his funds could increase again.
When Lin Xuan returned to the base, the Sky Guardian drone appeared on the interface of the air force base.
[Sky Guardian drone, cost: 2000 funds.]
The price of 2000 per plane was still very cheap. Lin Xuan directly established the 66th Investigation Squadron.
The reconnaissance squadron was directly affiliated with the Air Force Command's drone combat office.
The squadron had a total of 14 Sky Guardian drones.
At the same time, Lin Xuan incorporated this squadron into the battle sequence of this eastward advance plan.
"Great, with this drone squadron, our plan will definitely be smoother. I hope to fine-tune the battle plan before the battle.”
Currently, Sanaag State was mainly divided into three armed forces, which were all split from the Barre Armed Forces.
They formed a three-pronged situation in Sanaag.
Every day, they fought for territory and population.
However, when they learned that Urey had hired the Red Police Corps of Nine Regions to quell the war, they all chose to stop.
These three groups were also relatively famous pirate organizations.
They were the Puntlan Guards, the Coast Guard, and Merka's marines.
In fact, there was originally a group of pirate forces.
However, it was defeated in this battle and was directly swallowed.
These three forces each occupied an important city in Sanaag State.
Egaribo near the sea, Ainabo, the main city in the west of Sanaag, and Baran, the main city in the southeast.
It was also because of these major cities that they had the capital to compete.
Various underground arms dealers ran between these three parties, providing them with weapons and ammunition.
Otherwise, they might not have been able to fight so crazily.
Lin Hong's battle plan was very simple.
The air force was dispatched to bomb the military camps, power plants, ammunition warehouses, and communication facilities of these three forces.
After defeating their morale, the ground combat forces, which were the two integrated combat brigades, attacked.
He would directly take down the entire Sanaag Region, and then use the same method to target the Bari Region and Nugar Region, which were also Tuhr's original territories.
To put it bluntly, it was a copy of Yingchan's previous tactics.
They would first mobilize air forces to carry out dimensional reduction attacks.
After the enemy's ground forces collapsed, the infantry would be dispatched to clean up the mess.
This was a tactic that Ying-chan had tried many times.
This time, with the addition of the 66th Squadron, Lin Hong decided to execute a decapitation operation first.
He would first find the leaders of these three groups and then kill them directly.
Without a leader, the war would proceed more smoothly.
Lin Xuan also agreed to this plan. In any case, it would not waste much time.
Lin Hong had this idea because he had already found two locations.
The leader of Merca was very cunning, and he was close to the Youth Society, so it was difficult to find him.
After the decision was made to execute the decapitation operation, several Sky Guardian drones that had just come off the production line took off from the airport and flew towards Sanaag.
