Chapter 524 Air Commander

"Brain? The key to victory?"

Lieutenant General Alondo looked at the leader of the airborne troops in surprise, and the leader of the airborne troops laughed more and more kindly, and pointed his finger to the sky. It seemed that in order to confirm the suggestion of the leader of the airborne troops, a roar suddenly came from the sky.

Lieutenant General Alondo quickly put his hand on the awning and looked up at the sky. He saw a small upper single-wing aircraft quickly skipping over his head, turning half a circle in the sky, and then aiming at an empty grass less than 500 meters long not far away, lowering the landing gear and slowly descending.

"Can you take off and land at such a short distance?" Lieutenant General Alondo asked with some concern.

"The last batch of this aircraft participated in the disaster relief operation in southern Tibet in April. At that time, the Donil-228 in New Delhi did not do anything, but our Yun-6 did it. At that time, the media from Britain, France and Germany had a lot of reports, and you must have paid attention to it." The leader of the airborne army looked at the slowly descending plane, as if he saw his own child, and his eyes were full of pride.

Lieutenant General Alondo nodded slightly. The flood that occurred in April on the border between Tibet and New Delhi did become the focus of international attention for a period of time, but it suddenly came to an abrupt end later. The usual saying is that the disaster relief situation of both countries is not optimistic, so they acted in unison and blocked the news.

Because Thailand doesn't have much to do with it, Lieutenant General Alondo didn't care much, but when he saw the small single-engine turboprop aircraft that was steadily parked on a grass of more than 100 meters today, he knew that the facts were very different from those reported by Western media.

But that's all, the reason is very simple. He has not made any use of the leader of the airborne troops. What's the big deal? It's just a small plane.

"Do you want to go over and take a look? That's a real air command plane."

Lieutenant General Adron, who hadn't felt anything, had no reaction when he heard the words of the airborne commander, but when he heard the words "Air Command Plane", his eyes suddenly widened. Finally, he understood why Shinono and the others had found the signal source of the other command headquarters, but could not catch it. Unexpectedly, the command post of the Chinese troops was neither fixed in one place nor on a motorized vehicle, but was placed on an aerial platform.

How can Shinono's Sixth Special Operations Battalion of the Royal Thai Army be fought?

After understanding this, Alondo looked at the plane in the distance, which was a little different. As long as anyone with some military knowledge knew, the weight of the air command aircraft was amazing.

The United States' E-4b modified by the Boeing 747 and the Soviet Union's Il-86 modified command aircraft are both regarded as the technical crystallization of the command system of the two countries, because these two aircraft are responsible for the command and coordination capabilities of the two superpowers after the outbreak of the nuclear war.

In addition to these two big guys at the bottom of the box, the United States and the Soviet Union have different air command aircraft, but most of these things exist in the situation of reconnaissance aircraft or transport aircraft. They are not only highly confidential, but also not allowed to be exported.

Therefore, let alone small countries like Thailand that can only be more prosperous in Southeast Asia, even those in Europe cannot obtain them.

Because of this, when Lieutenant General Alondo learned from the leader of the airborne troops that the plane in the distance was actually an air commander, the Lieutenant General, who understood the causes and consequences, immediately became eager.

Because he heard the implicit meaning from the words of the head of the airborne troops, that is, as long as Thailand has demand, China can provide the same type of equipment.

Is there any demand in Thailand?

It's simply too much!

You should know that in addition to a few core cities, most of Thailand are rural and tropical rainforests, especially the Thai-Cambodia border, which are completely covered by jungle. In such places, whether it is to build a long-term fixed command center or temporarily build a mobile field command post, it is not only necessary to overcome the harsh natural environment, but also to always be alert to the Vietnamese raids that are good at jungle combat.

In the past few years, the Thai Army has suffered a lot in this regard, because no matter how hidden it is, it is difficult to escape the fierce eyes of the Vietnamese army.

There is no way, but he is an old fox who has fought with the US imperialists for more than ten years in the Indochina Peninsula. Thailand has not even learned half of the essence of the US military. The Vietnamese army, who is good at infiltration, is naturally looking for one thing.

The Thai Army, which suffered heavy losses, thought of many ways, such as moving the command post to the UH-1 helicopter. After trying, I found that the helicopter's battery life was short, and the noise inside was very loud, so I could not command it at all.

Later, he thought about modifying it with a small fixed-wing aircraft, and for this reason he also introduced the Schott 330 small transport aircraft with a take-off weight of 10 tons from the UK.

As a result, after arriving, I found that this product was not only slow, with low lifting limits, and very average take-off and landing performance. What's more, the maintenance is not cheap, not to mention modifications, and the price was rolling upwards, so the two imported aircraft from Thailand decisively gave up.

So this matter was dragged down, until today the leader of the airborne troops introduced him to the air command aircraft modified from Yun-6. Lieutenant General Alondo finally saw some hope.

Of course, some people may be worried that Thailand has set up its command on the plane, what if the Vietnamese army brings air defense firepower and beat it up!

This possibility cannot be ruled out, but Thailand is not afraid.

The reason is very simple. Every year, the military aid that Thailand gets from the United States is not for a good meal. So many F-5e are in good condition. In addition, all pilots are trained by the United States step by step. Tactical literacy is top-notch in Southeast Asian countries.

Therefore, once Thailand has an air command plane, the corresponding escort will naturally be able to keep up.

What's more, even if the Vietnamese army really wanted to bring air defense firepower, they were still willing but not enough. It was clear that the Vietnamese army was still tug of war with China on the northern line. The devastating offensive in the late 1970s had already knocked open the gate of the Vietnamese capital, and it was almost like a single kick to the gate.

The shadow area in the minds of the Vietnamese army is so large, so although they have maintained garrisons in Cambodia over the years, they are actually deployed in the capital circle to the north of Vietnam.

Because of this, it is too high to expect the Vietnamese army to deploy large-scale air defense weapons on the Thai-Cambodia border. After all, the Vietnamese army has been fighting in recent years, and it is becoming poorer and poorer, and it is simply unable to support the two-line combat operations. Therefore, it is considered as if it can build some anti-aircraft machine guns in Thailand.

In short, if you can really get an air commander from China, it will be a force multiplier for the Thai Army. With that kind of light rotorcraft, you can completely replicate my hit you as much as you want, but you don’t even have the chance to fight back, so you can only let me beat you up stupidly.

This feeling...is not too good!
