1172 Five Seconds of Life and Death
Lieutenant Hashem leaned against the cabin seat cushion and felt the huge noise of the two high-power turboshaft engines and gearboxes above his head. His attention was all focused on the man with a weird helmet in front of him, and his curiosity drove him to know the other party's true identity.
Zhou Qingfeng was going to Palmyra, and Major Valena arranged a guide or liaison officer for him. Otherwise, the Syrian government troops stationed in Palmyra would not recognize him and would even attack him.
In order to protect Zhou Qingfeng's safety, or to run errands for him, two Syrian soldiers wearing T-45b power armor were assigned to him to command. Because his apparent identity was an extra-staff member of the Rabbit Aid Syrian Military Advisory Group. Yes, this advisory group really exists.
One of the pillars of the Syrian government forces is President Assad's private guard, which is completely armored and uniformly equipped with rabbit-made T-45b.
With the outstanding performance of T-45b, the Presidential Guard has won a lot of experience points on the battlefield with its crushing equipment advantage. This army is one of the few Syrian elites who can maintain morale and have the desire to attack.
As a member of the guard, Lieutenant Hashem is not an uneducated native bun. Unlike Colonel Kasin, who was a corpse-based person, he has seen some practical videos given by the Russian side during training.
In addition to the classic battle between the Thunder team attacking Raqqa, there is also a video taken by Major Valena, Zhou Qingfeng punched the Black Hawk helicopter in the Pandora laboratory.
Lieutenant Hashem could not determine whether the person in front of him was a tough guy who attacked the "Pandora" laboratory, but there was no doubt that the mechanical exoskeleton should be the same as this kind of power armor without much protection, which had never been seen by the outside world.
The most beloved thing about the t-45 series is its strong armor, which ignores the fragments of small and medium-caliber projectiles and small grenades. This ability makes it a battlefield pioneer. But this kind of unarmored equipment in front of you always makes you feel insecure without armor. How to fight?
Lieutenant Hashem was still secretly assessing, and the sound of the helicopter pilot's call sounded in the noisy cabin, "We are almost here and will land in a few minutes. Wish you your next journey, oh..., hell!"
Amid the driver's scream, the fuselage of the Mi-8 helicopter shook violently. The originally seated Lieutenant Hashem and two other armored soldiers both fell down like a rolling earth.
Only Zhou Qingfeng, who had been lying on the seat, closed his eyes and slept with his face, suddenly jumped up, grabbed the bulge in the cabin, and asked, "What happened?"
The driver's shrill shout suddenly sounded, "There are missiles."
On the ground, Hussein and Duke cheered in unison. When the helicopter appeared, it was about ten kilometers away. When they urgently contacted the British BBC and sold the live broadcast rights, the helicopter was already close to three kilometers.
At this moment, the Mi-8 helicopter flying at a low altitude was preparing to land. The Syrian rebels ambushed behind the landblock locked it firmly with the "Stinger" missile.
With a whoosh, the rocket engine pushed the missile out of the launch cylinder, and the flames accelerated the missile body to twice the speed of sound to hit the Mi-8 about three kilometers away. At this distance, it took less than five seconds to launch it until it hit.
Oh...!
In order to maximize profits, BBC, which sold news, has broadcasted the time live. The scene of Mi-8's attack was sent to hundreds of millions of viewers with the help of BBC's news network all over the world.
The news host even publicly claimed that this was an emergency. A Russian Mi-8 stationed in Syria was about to be attacked.
It is about to be attacked, which means that this is not news that has already achieved results, but an event that is happening.
British, French, German, Russian, American, all the audiences around the world were immediately snatched by this gimmick. Because no one knew what they would see later, but in fact everyone could guess that Mi-8 was going to be finished when they were ambushed!
Others are just watching the news, but it is a disaster to the Russians when the news reaches Russians. When "Russia Today" also started to broadcast the news of BBC, the hosts of several channels all exclaimed.
Especially the beautiful host of the Russian channel was stunned by the news and almost incoherent. She looked at the broadcast screen at a loss, and asked loudly to the director beside her: "What does it mean? The Russian helicopter is about to be shot down, and we can only watch it?"
This is so cruel!
Watching his soldiers on TV as they were about to die was simply stabbing the Russians with a knife.
While other media were watching jokes, the live broadcast room and editorial room of ‘Russia Today’ was in a mess. Everyone was trying to contact the helicopter on the front line, trying to change its fate of being shot down.
But this is too difficult!
The editor-in-chief of 'Russia Today' grabbed his head in the big office and shouted, "Let's think of a way, we must find a way to save the guys on the helicopter. Otherwise we will be scolded by all the Russians."
What solutions do you think? Contact the Russian Ministry of Defense!
This is a bird. When the Ministry of Defense calls are connected, the daylily will be cold.
Contact the Russian military base in Syria? The communication cannot be connected, and the front line is not something you can contact just by wanting to contact.
Notify the helicopter that is about to be shot down? This is even more impossible!
Seeing a "Stinger" missile rising into the air on the screen, countless Russians were screaming...!
From launch to hit, it only takes five seconds.
Mi-8 is a bulky transport helicopter, which cannot escape the attack of the "Poisonous Sprig". As long as it hits, everyone on the helicopter will fall to death!
It only takes one or two minutes from the start of the broadcast to the missile launch. When the missile takes off, the Mi-8 on the screen immediately begins to tilt the fuselage to maneuver and avoid, and infrared baits fly out.
Everyone is applauding the driver of this Mi-8, which shows that his skills are excellent and he is very alert. But life and death are all in less than five seconds.
Countless Russians stood up and stared at the screen in front of their eyes. They clenched their fists and shouted loudly: "Well done, kid. Dodge it, avoid it, and be sure to avoid it."
There were also countless hostile people yelling in front of the screen, "Hahaha..., it can't hide, it's over, it's going to be shot down."
The "Stinger" infrared gaze warhead has strong anti-interference ability. It completely ignores the infrared bait flying out of the body. The flight trajectory of the missile body slightly deflects, and continues to stare at the Mi-8 who is clumsy avoiding.
If you can't hide, you really can't hide. Some people are wailing and some are cheering, and all this will be released in just five seconds.
Just as ‘Hussein’ and Duke cheered for their hugely valuable news, when the ambushed rebels were shouting for themselves to kill a Russian Mi-8 helicopter, when the Russians were mourning the upcoming sacrifice of their own soldiers, and when countless people watching the fun were waiting for the helicopter to crash,...
The side window of Mi-8, which was dodging missiles, was suddenly smashed by someone with a punch, and followed by a strong laser light shot out from it, hitting the incoming "Sthorn" missile directly!
