Chapter 405: Various Omissions
A layman, pointing out the country here, suddenly, Beckway was very unhappy: "Major Nathan, you are very good at the Air Force, but you should be regarded as a layman in special operations." ”
"Colonel Beckweis, I'm naval aviation, not the Air Force." Nathan said.
"It's all the same, it's all flying anyway."
"No, it's very different." Nathan looked at this guy, mixed up with the colonel in the American army, in his eyes, the Navy and the Air Force are actually the same? How can there be such a naïve person?
"For example, our navy and air force, communication channels, communication passwords are different, our navy pilots, it is impossible for our navy pilots to communicate directly with the air force pilots, do you know this?"
As soon as Nathan said this, Beckway frowned, and this is the case?
They plan to carry the Navy's helicopters, but it is the Air Force's transport planes that refuel their helicopters.
The dirtiness of the Navy and the Air Force, it is obvious, everyone is doing their own thing, and moreover, they are incompatible with each other, even deliberately incompatible, this is all too clear, the colonel of the army who formulated this plan does not even know this?
Nathan admired him a little.
(This kind of dirty thing, can be seen everywhere, take the example of East China Zhixiong, before leaving, East China Zhixiong was a high school physics teacher, and after the physics textbook was changed, there were three electives, the local No. 1 Middle School, the elective is 3-3 and 3-4, and the No. 2 Middle School where Hua Dongxiong is located, then you have to take 3-5, just to be different from them, why?) Once a student fails the college entrance examination, the candidates of the second middle school can only go back to the second middle school to repeat, because the first middle school is different from the second middle school, not only physics, mathematics or something, as long as there are electives, they must choose a different one. )
In the Gulf War, the data links of the US Air Force and Navy were still incompatible, so throughout the Gulf War, the Air Force and Navy were also fighting separately and each other, wanting to conduct joint operations? The data can't be communicated, and it's a fart.
I'm not familiar with special operations, but I know the dirt between the Navy and the Air Force.
Nathan continued: "For another example, you plan to use our Navy's Sea Stallion helicopter, this helicopter has excellent performance, it is the main tool of our Navy from the sea to the land, a helicopter can carry more than 30 people, carry weapons, and go to the capital of the BS country, it seems to be well planned, but, you must not know, this helicopter has done a good job of salt prevention at sea, however, it lacks the ability to effectively prevent sandstorms, and our flight this time has to cross a long desert area, Will you be able to make sure the helicopter is always working? In the event of a helicopter strike, will the mission be successfully completed? If one were to crash, would you be able to withstand it? ”
In later generations, the Delta forces continued to expand, not in combat units, but in logistics units, because after many failures, they realized that only their own logistics could be relied on.
The Delta Force in later generations included three main divisions: D, E, and F, of which D was the command and control department, that is, the headquarters. Sector E, on the other hand, is a large department that includes communications, intelligence and logistical support.
For example, they have their own medical detachments, and in addition to being stationed at Fort Bragg, there are specialized doctors in secret bases throughout the United States to provide medical assistance for special operations.
The Funny Platoon is an intelligence unit that specializes in providing intelligence support for Delta Force operations. And although the Delta Force relies mainly on the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment for air support, it also has its own aviation squadron, armed with 12 helicopters.
This is known only after many losses.
Now, they have only been established for two years, and everything is assisted by other units, which makes the chances of success even lower.
Nathan knows better that the failure of the historical Eagle Catch operation is that these Sea Stallion helicopters are not suitable for combat in desert areas at all.
Eight RH-53 heavy helicopters, which had taken off from the aircraft carrier "Nimitz" cruising in the Persian Gulf, took off on time. Soon, they also encountered a powerful sandstorm that was rare in years.
Originally, the satellites could have detected the sandstorm, but because they had agreed to keep the radio silent before the operation, no one informed them, so these helicopters plunged into the overwhelming yellow sand formation.
In the dark, the engine of one helicopter was working malfunctionally in the wind and sand, and the two helicopters could no longer see their companions, and lost their way in the vast darkness of the night. In desperation, I had to go down.
Then, one of the two helicopters that had been lost had another mechanical failure and also returned. Now, there are only six working helicopters left.
After a long meeting at the Desert one assembly point, the pilot of a helicopter that had been parked at the assembly site found that his plane's hydraulic system was in trouble, and he could not guarantee the normal operation of the plane if he reluctantly continued to move forward.
Six is the minimum equip, and one less will not be complete.
After weighing the pros and cons, the commander of the rescue operation made a painful decision: abandon the rescue attempt and evacuate the whole crew.
And in the evacuation, there was another big accident, and here, God really could not bless them.
A helicopter was preparing to fly away from the transport plane, the pilot had just increased his horsepower, and the plane had a lateral drift after a slight take-off, and the pilot did not control the plane, but staggered towards a C-130.
Sparks flew from the propellers cutting through the metal, and the two planes collided, and the helicopter smashed intact into the head of the C-130, and both the helicopter and the C-130 transport plane were caught in flames. The fire spread rapidly, quickly reducing the two planes to wreckage. Eight Delta Force soldiers were cremated.
It was a painful, utter failure.
Among them, the Sea Stallion helicopter is not suitable for flying in desert areas, which is already obvious, even with the Air Force, it is better than the Navy.
However, helicopters are not suitable at all, if there is a later V-22, it is about the same, although the Americans have experienced many failures, they are still engaged in V-22, there is such a combat need.
Nathan had already sentenced the operation to death, and yes, Beckway hadn't thought about the impact of the sandstorm in the slightest when he drew up his plan of action.
