For the quick reaction troops of various countries who are responsible for rushing to the theater as soon as possible on the battlefield, the types of equipment they carry are mainly light equipment. Of course, it must be As we all know, these lightly-armed troops reflect a need for quick response operations. For example, when political turmoil broke out in Kazakhstan at the beginning of this year, the CSTO immediately dispatched Russian airborne troops to the scene for maintenance. order.
Therefore, at the beginning of this year, the Russian army dispatched airborne troops to the scene extremely quickly, which indeed shows that this type of fast reaction force with mainly light equipment can indeed reach the target area as soon as possible and can quickly form combat effectiveness locally. However, since the weapons it is equipped with are mainly individual weapons or ultra-light combat vehicles, its comprehensive combat strength appears to be somewhat lacking.
▲Russian airborne troops are mainly light infantry. Their rapid deployment combat capabilities are relatively outstanding, but their overall firepower output capability is weak
. This shortcoming is reflected in firepower. For example, at the beginning of this year’s Russia-Ukraine conflict, When the Russian airborne troops occupied the Kiev Airport, due to problems with the Russian army's own communication and command systems, follow-up reinforcements were not in place. Moreover, due to weak firepower, the military power delivered by the Russian airborne troops at the Kiev Airport was reduced. It was severely damaged by the Ukrainian army, thus failing to achieve the operational goal of quickly occupying the airport and controlling relevant traffic arteries.
Although the defeat of the Russian airborne quick reaction force that occupied Kiev Airport has a great relationship with the Russian army itself, on a battlefield where things are changing rapidly, no army in the world can guarantee that it will not make any mistakes. , even as strong as the US military will be defeated by its own problems on the battlefield. Therefore, how to improve the survivability and combat adaptability of the quick reaction force is also one of the issues that our army's quick reaction force currently needs to consider.
▲The rapid anti-armor units currently used in airborne operations do have problems with weak protection capabilities and weak overall output firepower.
It can be seen that improving its own light firepower is an easier way to improve its combat adaptability and survivability. Assure. After all, after our army's quick reaction troops arrive at the scene, they will most likely face the enemy's quick reaction troops. Of course, if our army's quick reaction troops enter the enemy's base area in an offensive posture, then the output of our own troops will be Offensive firepower is the key to our own troops' offensive capabilities.
For the officers and soldiers of our military battalion and platoon-level combat organizations who are on the front line of the battle, the air-dropped double-25 anti-aircraft guns that have been unveiled before may be able to guarantee the firepower of our quick reaction troops. After all, this kind of mobile, air defense, and firepower The integrated "Battlefield Didi" can deal heavy blows to enemy quick reaction forces from multiple dimensions. Although there may still be a gap between its defensive capabilities and heavy armored forces, its powerful mobility can make up for this shortcoming.
▲The airdrop-type twin-25 anti-aircraft gun is outstanding for its lightweight and combat mobility, and its combat comprehensiveness is relatively good
Moreover, this vehicle-mounted twin-25 anti-aircraft gun is equipped with a 110kW diesel engine, and its maximum speed is theoretically Able to reach 135 kilometers per hour, it is fully capable of "mediating" dynamic containment with the enemy. Moreover, its total combat weight is only about 4.5 tons. In wartime, this weight can be transported by our army's Z-8 transport aircraft or airdropped by our army's strategic transport aircraft Yun-20. Its support and assault attributes Relatively good.
Of course, this air-dropped twin-25 anti-aircraft gun can carry 480 rounds of artillery shells and has a range of 4 kilometers. This fragmentation bomb can not only act as a deterrent to enemy army aviation units, but can also cause damage to enemy troops and lightly-armed troops. Fire suppression, for quick reaction forces mainly equipped with light equipment, our army's air-dropped double-25 anti-aircraft gun can indeed become a key piece of equipment for short-range fire suppression and regional air defense.
▲ Various light-armed units of our army are now equipped with rocket launchers , plus howitzers and other equipment, which to a certain extent make up for the problem of weak output firepower of quick reaction forces organized at the battalion and company level in front-line battles
Similarly, our army The easy-to-maneuver Dongfeng Warrior also belongs to this type of lightly armed and heavy firepower equipment, especially the Dongfeng Warrior equipped with a 122 mm caliber and howitzer. For this type of Dongfeng Warrior, it can allow our battalion and company level Combat units directly have the ability to cover the enemy with long-range artillery fire. Of course, considering that the amount of ammunition carried by the quick reaction force is relatively limited, the Dongfeng Warrior carrying a 122 mm caliber plus howitzer is likely to be used only for long-range attacks on key enemy targets.
Of course, due to the outstanding effectiveness of the howitzer in attacking fortresses, our army’s Dongfeng Warriors carrying 122mm caliber howitzers are likely to perform some attack-type combat missions. This can win for our army at the beginning of the battle. More favorable combat conditions, especially if our army achieves its combat objectives in an offensive posture, will allow the Dongfeng Warrior carrying a 122mm caliber plus howitzer to become the mainstay of the forward force's firepower output before our rear support firepower arrives.
▲The Dongfeng Warriors carrying 122mm caliber and howitzers are very likely to have been installed in large numbers by our army's front-line combat troops, and already have certain actual combat capabilities
So, for these two pieces of equipment, these two pieces of equipment All of them have fully improved the attack capabilities of our army's quick reaction forces, and whether it is the Dongfeng Warrior carrying a 122 mm caliber plus howitzer, or the air-dropped Double-25 anti-aircraft gun, they are all wheeled chassis and mainly lightly armed. They can It is quickly deployed to the front line of combat and launches explosive firepower output on the ground when the enemy troops are not fully prepared, thereby seizing the combat opportunity.
