This is called an air blast!
Ordinary bombs have impact fuses, which means that the bomb needs to hit the ground to explode. In this way, the bomb is easily affected by the terrain, and the explosion will expand outward in a hemispherical radial shape. Encountering the surrounding raised terrain will block the propagation of shrapnel and explosion shock waves.
Therefore, we can see that in many movies and TV dramas, soldiers will lie down directly when the explosion occurs, so that they can greatly avoid the shock wave and shrapnel attacks caused by the explosion.
So this is why fortifications and bunker trenches are built on the position. They not only avoid enemy bullets, but can also effectively avoid enemy artillery and aerial bomb attacks.
Proximity fuzes refer to fuzes that can explode at a certain distance from the object without touching the object. This kind of fuze was initially only used on anti-aircraft anti-aircraft artillery ammunition, which greatly improved the air defense capabilities of anti-aircraft anti-aircraft artillery and effectively improved the interception rate of anti-aircraft fighters.
Later, this kind of proximity fuze was also used on some aerial bombs, rockets, and artillery shells. Usually used in specialized anti-personnel munitions.
In this way, it will explode in the sky about ten meters or several meters away from the target. In this way, the coverage of the shock wave and shrapnel generated by the ammunition explosion will be greatly increased and will not be affected by the terrain.
Even if enemy personnel lie down to avoid it, it will be difficult to avoid such air-explosion ammunition, and even specialized fortification trenches will be ineffective.
Therefore, we can see that many ammunitions explode in the air, and the craters produced are not large. We subconsciously think that the power of this kind of ammunition is limited, but we do not know that the power of this kind of ammunition is huge.
Sure enough, after the smoke dissipated, all the enemy rubber mannequins on the ground were blown to pieces and riddled with holes. Even the rubber mannequins sheltering in the trenches were no exception. If this were a real person, I'm afraid there would be no survivors in this position and it would become a purgatory on earth.
Just as this demonstration ended, another round of demonstrations began. What was displayed this time was the ammunition spreader. In the meantime, the new military quad-rotor tandem attack drone equipped with the ammunition spreader flew to a place. over the target and immediately began dropping bombs.
One after another, small aerial bombs modified from 40mm rifle grenades slid out of the spreader outlet and fell to the ground like hailstones.
Boom boom boom...
A series of explosion sounds came immediately, the sound was relatively small, like large firecrackers played during the New Year. But this thing is much more powerful than a large firecracker. Not to mention that it is equipped with more powerful yellow ammunition, the destructive power of the shrapnel it produces is also very huge.
Now, these 40mm rifle grenades hit the target on the ground like dense hail, and soon the target on the ground was submerged in thick smoke.
How much ammo is loaded into this ammo spreader? Rashid, who came from West Asia, couldn't help but turn around and ask Wu Hao when he saw this scene.
Wu Hao smiled and replied: "Currently we are releasing modified 40mm grenades. This ammunition spreader can probably be equipped with about 150 rounds."
"so much!"
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard Wu Hao's answer. They did not expect that such an ammunition spreader would be equipped with so many grenades. This number can be said to be astonishing.
Although the explosive power of a single grenade is actually very limited, so many grenades explode together continuously, which can fully cover a considerable position. Its lethality is much more powerful than a single 155mm artillery shell and large aerial bombs.
The main reason is that the enemy has nowhere to hide. This new military four-rotor tandem attack drone can keep hovering over the position, chasing enemies on the ground to drop bombs, without giving the enemy a chance to hide and breathe.
In addition to this comprehensive firepower coverage, it can also achieve sustained long-term air strike missions, cruise in the theater for a long time, and strike enemy targets on the ground in real time, thereby effectively suppressing the enemy and preventing the enemy from taking the lead.
What's more important is that it is cheap. It is simply too cheap. It can exert huge combat effectiveness while spending less cost. So just relying on this, it has been unanimously affirmed and praised by both big dogs and small customer representatives.
"Is this ammunition spreader sold separately?" At this time, a small customer representative behind him asked.
Wu Hao smiled when he heard this and said: "This ammunition spreader is only suitable for this new military quad-rotor tandem attack drone, and cannot be used for other drones and manned fighter aircraft.
To put it bluntly, other drones and manned fighters cannot do this job. No matter in terms of the cost of operating these drones and fighter planes, or the risk factor, it is not worth it.
Let’s not talk about expensive manned fighters and pilots whose value is equal to gold, let’s talk about drones. Small UAVs cannot carry this kind of spreader, and there is no point in doing so.
As for large UAVs, it is not practical to hang this kind of ammunition spreader. Such large UAVs are generally fixed-wing UAVs, and their flying heights are several kilometers above the sky. It is difficult to release such ammunition at this altitude. Small ammunition may fall freely, just like a goddess scattering flowers, and the hit rate is pitifully low.
If they were allowed to lower their altitude, they would easily become targets for enemy attacks, and losing one would be very expensive.
So at this time, this kind of neutral rotor drone is still needed to perform this kind of mission. On the one hand, it is very suitable for low-altitude flying. On the other hand, it is durable and durable, and the cost of use is relatively cheap, so it is very suitable for various applications. On the battlefield.
It is simple and convenient to control, and can carry out various strike missions at any time according to the combat intentions of the frontline commander. "
After hearing Wu Hao's answer, everyone present nodded. It is true that this kind of ammunition spreader is good, but it also requires a suitable platform. It can only be suitable for low-altitude aircraft, and is not suitable for high-altitude aircraft.
Among low-altitude aircraft, the most famous is of course the Treetop Killer helicopter. However, the target of a helicopter is too large and can easily become the target of the enemy. Therefore, a medium-sized drone like this is most suitable at this time.
On the one hand, because of its small size and small movement, it is not easy to be discovered. On the other hand, of course it is because it is low cost, cheap, practical and convenient.
Therefore, everyone present was quite satisfied with this drone. The only dissatisfaction was of course the price. Wu Hao's asking price was very high, which made these customer representatives feel pain.
Of course, they also understand that the price of good things is bound to not be cheap, and they still understand the principle that you get what you pay for.
Although it is more expensive, you still have to buy it. Many customer representatives present are waiting to use it at home. No matter how expensive it is, they will still buy it.
