Although Qin Tairan has already looked up to the J7 drone, the facts have proved that he is still a bit too conservative. After the test flight of the J7 drone prototype was successfully transmitted to the headquarters of various military branches through assembly, it caused a sensation. The dsm R&D base was suddenly crowded with people. Not only were the senior executives of the assembly taking turns to observe, but even the navy, the air force and even major military regions began to send capable personnel to observe. They evaluated the role of this improved unmanned J7 fighter on their own troops on the spot.

Although domestic military R&D units have also developed drones that can carry out armed attacks before, relatively speaking, no one can be compared with the American God of Death drone, not to mention that it can be compared with the J7 in terms of flight speed, maneuverability and ammunition load.

Therefore, major military services have always focused on assisted reconnaissance purposes in drones, and have not yet considered using them as a new attack force.

However, after DSM has re-unmanned J7, judging from the capabilities shown in the current test flight, it not only has a perfect fully automatic take-off and landing function, but also can show super maneuverability under ground control. It is particularly impressive to easily complete cobra maneuvering.

It is the dream of many people to manipulate drones like a game plane to annihilate the enemy thousands of miles away. These military tyrants have now seen a realistic hope. Although this hope is not too great, the tyrants of various major military tyrants were very excited after watching the test flight of the j7 drone. They intuitively realized that the dsm drone from DSM may provide a brand new tactical method for their troops.

This new weapon not only has huge imagination space, but more importantly, its cost-effectiveness is very outstanding. This is a new firepower equipment that can be obtained by major troops at a relatively low price. For the Chinese side, whose military expenditure has always been short of military expenditure, combat cost-effectiveness is also an extremely important consideration, because major troops have always had to make choices of equipment under limited funds to strive for the maximum combat power of their troops.

The j7 series fighter jets are retired and sealed weapons, which is equivalent to being half-scrapped. This inventory is a raw material that is not expensive for major military branches. If you spend millions of RMB to transform it and obtain an unmanned aerial strike weapon, it is naturally very important.

In this regard, the Army, which has always been short of funds, is more urgent. Since military spending has been tilted towards the Air Force and the Navy in recent years, with new aircraft and ships emerging one after another, the army's weapon renewal is significantly lower than the development of the Navy and Air Force. The launch of new models of main battle tanks was not only after the introduction of Duches Heavy Industries' new materials and new processing CNC machine tools.

The Army's aviation troops that the Army has always longed for have not been strongly supplemented. Although domestic R&D institutions have made breakthroughs in the research and development of armed helicopters, due to the extremely limited amount of equipment that can be produced due to the cost of funding. Compared with the renovation costs of j7 drones, the latest generation of armed helicopters are too expensive, and they often require tens of millions of yuan per aircraft, which is mostly produced by domestic goods.

If there is a state-of-the-art offensive helicopter like the United States' "Longbow Apache", Taiwan will purchase more than 60 million US dollars per aircraft plus training costs. In terms of price, the same main fighter is not inferior to that. Even if the United States is willing to sell such expensive weapons and equipment, the Chinese side cannot afford it.

Therefore, the cost of armed helicopter equipment of the Army Aviation Flight Corps is too different from the cost of transformation of the J7 drone. Although in terms of use, the J7 drone needs to be supported by airports and other infrastructure, which is higher than the use environment requirements of the armed helicopters, and a rear base must be built.

But don't forget that our army is only focused on defense operations, and basically rely on domestic defense areas to fight. In this case, this disadvantage is less important. It is not difficult for the army to share military airports with the Air Force in hot spots, and temporary airports can also be built at the forefront. For J7, its take-off and landing requirements are much lower than passenger planes. It doesn't take long to build a simple airport and it doesn't cost much.

The army tycoons are very familiar with the main performance of aircraft like j7 and trust the low-altitude capabilities of the J7 series, especially the greatly improved models of J7e in the future. The performance of the J7e is better than that of the DSM. The assembly now provides DSM with the earlier j7iii in the J7 series. Although the performance of this early j7 is also very good in near-space fighting, it has a big gap compared to the greatly improved models of J7e in terms of range and bomb load.

If the DSM can transform the model j7iii into a drone with ground attack capabilities, which can be mainly mounted rockets, anti-tank missiles, and laser-guided bombs, then for the army, this is enough. They do not need any over-visual combat capability, but only have a low-altitude attack and penetration capability to effectively attack targets such as tank artillery heavy firepower and solid fortifications on the ground, then everything is OK.

Because for the army's combat missions, they only need to effectively cooperate with ground operations and be able to carry out three-dimensional strikes, even if the loading capacity of the early improved drone ammunition of j7 was limited, at a flight speed of several times that of the helicopter, by loading multiple times the attacks between the base and the battlefield, it can be much stronger than the firepower provided by an armed helicopter.

So if the Army is most eager to know whether DSM can develop supporting automatic equipment for quick loading and unloading weapons, ammunition and oil supply, and if it can be done within half an hour at this point, then the value of this J7 drone to improve the army's combat power will be immeasurable.

You should know that this is an unmanned fighter, and basically does not need to consider the fatigue tolerance of personnel (ground operators can be replaced at any time). If ammunition and fuel supply can be completed in half an hour, a new round of attack can be achieved every 2 hours. The intensity of this combat firepower output is simply incomparable to the armed helicopter. With the cruise speed of the armed helicopter, 2 hours is just enough for the helicopter to fly to the battlefield 500 kilometers away in the first round.

The most important thing is that this flight regiment does not need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to train pilots, but only needs to use ground simulation combat control skills. This huge advantage is that the army can quickly form three-dimensional combat capabilities, which is incomparable to armed helicopters. When the J7 was retired, the army, which lacked air force support, had no idea about this group of air forces, but without pilots, these aircraft were just a pile of scrap iron. Although the army could only watch these group of j7s become decorations in the warehouse.

From the perspective of price, if the transformation cost is no more than 5 million yuan as introduced by the assembly, then the cost of each group army equipped with a flight regiment of about 30 aircraft is only 100 million yuan, and the eight main field army can be completed in just over 1000 billion yuan. The combat power brought by this more than 100 billion yuan is even stronger than 1,000 new armed helicopters when relying on the frontier base.

Where can I find such a good thing?
