In 2015, Syria finally ushered in a new dawn of victory.

At the Arab League meeting, at Assad’s sincere request, the Arab League agreed with a majority vote to send Arab coalition forces into Syria to help Syria eliminate the rebels and restore peace in Syria.

Syria has a land area of ​​nearly 20 square kilometers and a population of over 2000 million, but Syria is still not a powerful country in the Middle East.

In addition to the fact that Syria does not have abundant oil and natural gas resources, climate is also an important reason.

The southern part of Syria has a tropical desert climate, and the northern part has a Mediterranean climate. Syria’s climate is relatively dry, and three-fifths of the country has less than 25 cm of rainfall throughout the year, which is mainly due to the obstruction of high mountains. It is precisely because of the small amount of rainfall in winter and the dry and hot summer that grasslands and deserts account for more than half of Syria’s area.

If it weren’t for the China National Petroleum Corporation’s investment in oil and natural gas exploitation, and the sale of water from the Golan Heights reservoir to Israel, Syria’s survival would have been a problem, let alone development.

Now the rebels are surrounded by government forces and mercenaries in several towns. With the entry of the UAE Army into the battlefield, the rebels will surely be wiped out.

There are a total of 50,000 Afghan coalition forces entering Syria this time, all of which are ground troops.

After all, the towns controlled by the rebels are not on the coast, so the navy is useless. As for the air force, the rebel air force has already been completely wiped out by the Russian air force.

Several towns no longer have airports.

What is causing headaches for the Syrian government forces and mercenaries are the rebels’ drones.

In order to deal with the rebel drones, the Afghan coalition forces dispatched two battalions of laser air defense forces.

Saudi Arabia has always had great trust in China’s weapons and equipment, and will make large purchases of various weapons and equipment at every Zhuhai Air Show.

Laser air defense weapons are no exception.

The laser air defense force currently equipped by the UAE coalition forces has purchased China’s “Silent Hunter” vehicle-mounted laser weapon system. This 30-kilowatt vehicle-mounted laser weapon has an effective range of 4 kilometers and can burn through 1 mm steel plates at 5 kilometer. It is naturally not made in China to be used to deal with small drones with plastic shells.

When Saudi Arabia was helping Yemen quell the rebellion, it used this type of system to successfully hunt down hundreds of rebel drones, proving its excellent air defense capabilities.

Of course, this is not the most advanced vehicle-mounted laser weapon equipped by the Afghan coalition forces. In addition to the 30-kilowatt “Silent Hunter”, the Afghan coalition forces are also equipped with a 50-kilowatt “Death Hunter” and a 100-kilowatt “Stone Hunter”.

The wealthy countries in the Middle East and the UAE coalition have not only introduced a large number of drones, but also a considerable number of vehicle-mounted laser weapons for air defense.

Although vehicle-mounted laser weapons are not cheap, they are very cheap to use.

Here in the Middle East, it has been used in actual combat many times.

The two battalions’ “Silent Hunter” vehicle-mounted laser weapons are specifically used to deal with Syrian rebels.

In addition, the Afghan coalition forces also brought tens of thousands of drones of various types, most of which were suicide drones.

A suicide drone costs as little as 1 RMB at the cheapest and less than 20 RMB at the most expensive.

This type of suicide drone is most favored by wealthy countries in the Middle East and the UAE coalition forces.

The most important thing is that as long as the number of drones purchased reaches a certain level, Panshan Group will be very considerate and provide free training services.

At the Zhuhai Air Show that year, Saudi Arabia imported drones worth 40 billion RMB in one go, making Saudi Arabia definitely rank among the top ten in the world in terms of the number of drones it is equipped with and the use of drones.

To date, the number of drones of various types equipped by Saudi Arabia has exceeded 300,000.

Saudi Arabia even has a lot of “Wing Loong” series and “Rainbow” series drones.

In terms of drones, the number and performance of Saudi equipment are second only to China and the US military.

This is because Panshan Group prohibits the export of some drones. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether the drones equipped by the US military can outperform those of Saudi Arabia.

The Arab coalition has the entire Arab world behind it, and its military expenditure mainly comes from Saudi Arabia and other countries. The annual military expenditure is as high as more than 3000 billion yuan, and its weapons and equipment are absolutely excellent.

The Afghan coalition’s army, navy and air force are all well-equipped.

To say that they are armed to the teeth is no exaggeration.

The Arab coalition forces are also the strongest military force in the Arab world.

In the UAE coalition, Saudi Arabia has the greatest say!

Haward, a town occupied by rebels.

When the Afghan coalition forces were still some distance away from Hawad, the rebels sent drones to attack the Afghan coalition forces.

“Swoosh~” “Swoosh~”

The ‘Silent Hunter’ vehicle-mounted laser system continuously emits a beam of light, and with every beam of light, a drone is shot down.

Technicians constantly tracked the drones and shot them down with lasers.

They are already very skilled in this area.

This cost is very low.

Not only can it be charged by solar energy on the battlefield, but it can also be charged when returning to the camp.

Of course, while the vehicle is driving, the engine can also generate electricity to charge the battery.

The convoy did not stop and continued to move forward.

Drones were shot down by lasers.

Not only the laser vehicle-mounted system, but other air defense means are also being prepared to prevent drones from breaking through the defense line.

The ‘Silent Hunter’ was driving separately, and inside the Type 81 infantry fighting vehicle, the soldiers were drinking Coke.

The treatment of the soldiers of the Arab coalition forces is quite good. Maybe not as good as that of the soldiers of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries, but much better than that of the soldiers of Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

Every soldier wears a bulletproof vest, a bulletproof helmet, and carries communication equipment. At the same time, they are sitting in the Type 81 infantry fighting vehicle, which is equipped with refrigeration equipment, so it will not be too hot even in summer.

The Type 81 infantry fighting vehicle was moving forward and did not stop because of the drone attack. The drone was handed over to the air defense force.

In fact, no drone broke through the air defense force’s defense and was able to attack infantry fighting vehicles.

Finally, they were very close to Howard, and the Type 81 self-propelled rocket took the lead in launching an attack on Howard.

In order to reduce casualties in towns controlled by rebels, the Afghan coalition forces do not care whether such attacks will accidentally injure civilians.

Even with unmanned reconnaissance aircraft conducting reconnaissance and reconnaissance satellites providing support, it is impossible to ensure that the attack is 100% accurate.

Rockets flew across the sky towards Howard.

“Boom~~”

“Boom~~”

The rockets fell, making a startling explosion. Soon, the Type 81 self-propelled howitzers also launched an artillery attack on Hawad.

The mercenaries trained the Arab League Army, and based on the characteristics of the Arab League Army, they used their advantages in weapons and equipment and tried to avoid close-range attacks as much as possible.

There is no way. Like the Saudi army, the UAE army can fight when the wind is in their favor, but it really cannot fight when the wind is against them.

Fighting a fierce battle is even worse!

Because there is no such thing as the will to fight.

In this case, we should make full use of the advantages in weapons and equipment without thinking about saving money. We should first launch an air bombing, then attack with artillery, and then attack with drones, while coordinating with tanks and armored vehicles to launch the attack.

As for street fighting, it is not suitable for the Afghan coalition forces to fight at all.

No matter how good your weapons and equipment are, if you use them in regular street fighting, you will only get beaten to a pulp.

Anyway, the Afghan coalition forces and others have no moral baggage, so they can just destroy the entire town and the entire city.

To a certain extent, this way of fighting is most suitable for the Afghan coalition forces and has the lowest cost.

The Syrian government forces are poor as hell and their weapons and equipment are not very good.

But the UAE Army is different, it is rich and powerful.

After various artillery launched the attack, suicide drones were sent out.

This is the first time that the Afghan coalition has used suicide drones on a large scale in combat. Prior to this, they were only used in drills and on a small scale on the battlefield.

This time, thousands of suicide drones were dispatched at one time.

On the other side, tank troops and armored troops began to attack Howard.

At this time, it was not just Hawad. The Afghan coalition forces launched attacks on seven towns occupied by the rebels, using similar tactics.

This tactic left the Russian military advisory group in Syria dumbfounded.

The offensive firepower of the Afghan coalition forces is too fierce.

And the weapons and equipment made them drool.

There are not too many drones in the sky, including those equipped by the Russian army.

This kind of fighting method is simply incredible.

At this time, the head of the Russian military observation group is Sarovikin. As early as the Soviet-Afghan War, Sarovikin participated in the Soviet-Afghan War and served as the head of the group. Later, he served as the commander of the Russian 20th Army. This time he came to Syria in person to observe the battlefield of the Afghan coalition forces and evaluate their military strength.

As a senior Russian general, Sarovikin’s professional ability is unquestionable.

It was also under his insistence that Russia sent a part of the elite 20th Army to Syria to train the troops through rotation warfare, and took the opportunity to lease a port from Syria as a naval base, thereby strengthening Russia’s military presence in the Mediterranean.

Although Russia’s naval base in Syria is not far from the US naval base in Israel, this military base is still very important to Russia.

Sarovikin looked heavy-hearted as he saw the strengthening of the Arab world’s military power.

Let’s look at Russia again. To be honest, according to his evaluation standards, Russia’s current military strength is actually far inferior to that of the Soviet Union.

For example, the combat effectiveness of his 20th Army Group was actually declining.

In addition to weapons and equipment, the most important factor in a unit’s combat effectiveness is its logistical support capability.

As for the Russian ground forces, there has been almost no weapon upgrading, and their configuration has even declined.

Many tanks and armored vehicles are old cars that have been used for thirty or forty years.

Let’s look at the Afghan coalition forces. In the Middle East at that time, the most powerful military force was the Iraqi army. At that time, the Iraqi army was equipped with a large number of Soviet-made equipment, but there was still a huge gap between them and the Soviet army. Whether it was the Iraqi air force, army or navy, they were far behind the Soviet army of the same size.

再看看现在的阿联军，武器装备精良，80式主战坦克、80式自行高炮、81式中型坦克、81式轻型坦克、81式水陆两用坦克、81式步兵战车.
It is even equipped with a large number of drones and anti-drone equipment!
空中的，虽然也有歼7系列战斗机、歼8战斗机，但是也有歼轰7以及歼10战斗机、歼11战斗机。

Even Sarovikin doubted whether the Afghan coalition forces would be equipped with fifth-generation fighter jets earlier than the Russian army, given the Panshan Group’s willingness to sell anything.

The Russian military strength is retreating, while the military strength in other places is increasing. This is actually very unfavorable to Russia.

Even now, Russia has never given up its dream of becoming a world-class power.

“Military changes are too fast!” Sarovikin sighed in his heart.

Back then, when it came to mechanized troops, there were only the Soviet Army and the American Army in the world.

But now look at it again, when it comes to mechanized troops, there are more than twenty of them in the world.

It’s nothing more than the size of the mechanized forces.

Israel, once the little bully of the Middle East, has now seen its influence and strength decline significantly.

Even our old rival, the United States, is actually on the decline in its comprehensive national strength, and the U.S. military’s strength is also on the decline.

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq caused the United States to lose a lot of blood.

“This drone will definitely play an increasingly important role on future battlefields. We must pay attention to it, otherwise it will become a trouble for our army in the future!” Sarovikin said secretly.

Russia also has drones. Over the years, Russia has made extensive investments in its drone industry and has developed a variety of military drones. The Russian military has even formed a number of professional drone units and is equipped with a variety of drone models.

However, there is a problem with Russia’s drones, that is, a large proportion of them use imported parts and industrial production equipment to develop and produce drones. Currently, imported parts account for as much as 80% of every drone manufactured in Russia.

Currently, the Russian drone industry is able to provide the Russian military with 2000 drones of different types each year, mainly unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, while attack drones and cruise missiles are much less.

The cost of Russian drones is also often relatively high.

For drones with the same performance, the cost of Russian drones is several times that of Chinese drones. For drones with the same price, the performance of Russian drones is far inferior to that of Chinese drones.

This is also why the number of drones deployed by Russia in North Africa and Syria is far less than that of the United States.

It’s not that Russia doesn’t want to invest more drones, but Russia’s drone production is just like that. As for asking Russia to buy drones, Russia is reluctant to do so.

In North Africa, most of the drones in Libya were purchased by Europe from Panshan Group, and a considerable number of drones were donated by Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. In Syria, most of the drones were donated by Arab countries, and Wagner mercenaries used them more.

But now, the Afghan coalition forces have directly dispatched a large number of drones, a scale that even surprised Sarovikin.

Suicide drone, reconnaissance and strike drone!

The reconnaissance and strike drones equipped by the Afghan coalition are even more advanced than those of the Russian army. (End of this chapter)
