"The Thunder Gliding Bomb can have several separate production lines. The demand for this thing will be huge in the future. It is not only useful against fixed targets, but also useful for some large giant war machines."
Hearing Soshyan say this, one of Bangura's robotic arms stretched out, and the mechanical claw at the front unfolded to display a holographic image, in which a busy factory workshop could be seen.
"Commander of the Legion, I have already ordered the construction of a production workshop for thunder glide bombs. I guarantee that we can provide 10,000 bombs per month in the future."
"It's too few. We strive to provide 30,000 bombs per month. Once a big war breaks out, tens of thousands of bombs will only last a few days. We must prepare war reserves."
"yes."
"In addition, although the laser guidance method is safe, we must also see its limitations. Lasers are easily interfered by smoke and even natural weather such as rain. I also know that no weapon can be perfect, but continuous improvement is also
It is necessary, the Adeptus Mechanicus places too much emphasis on the initial sanctity of weapons."
In fact, the shortcomings of this weapon do not stop there. For example, it is only suitable for use in atmospheric environments. In addition, weapons that rely on gliding to attack under different gravity environments will also lead to huge differences in speed. However, this still cannot cover up
Its excellence and practicality.
"Legion Commander, in fact, we have already started to improve Thunder. One of the ideas currently being implemented is to add an auxiliary inertial measurement unit so that as long as the bomb is launched, it can maintain its inertial route along the original path even if the laser guidance is lost.
flight."
"Well, this is a good idea, and I look forward to your finished product."
Soshyan then turned his attention back to the drill.
With the efforts of the infiltration team, the Thunderhawk formation used glide bombs and cluster missiles to destroy all the enemy's fortresses on the frontline at extremely fast speeds. At the same time, the Storm Claw fleet also began to dispatch on a large scale.
Some of them form a hunting team, taking the lead in crossing the enemy's defense line and going to important communication lines to attack the enemy's armor and vehicles that can come to the front line for rapid support, slow down the enemy's support speed, and kill the enemy's armor force.
Under the cover of the low-altitude firepower of another part of the Storm Claws group, the ground armored assault group crossed the burning ruins of the enemy's fortress and advanced rapidly toward the depth of the enemy, breaking through hundreds of kilometers in one go.
At this time, the Storm Claw and Storm Falcon assault groups were far away from the fixed airport in the rear, and the battle group's servant force immediately received an order to quickly open a field airport in a certain area.
Soon a support team consisting of more than 10 types of professional vehicles such as construction machinery vehicles, health support vehicles, communication and navigation vehicles, and fuel filling vehicles, as well as a large number of servitors and work robots, quickly formed an area surrounded by mountains on three sides and with solid ground.
Start work on the flat ground, clear the site, build fortifications, set up tents, camouflage protection...
In less than 3 hours, a temporary field airport integrating command, communication, navigation, equipment and logistics support functions was completed and began to receive Storm Claws for take-off and landing, loading and refueling.
This is also the work that Soshyan requested to focus on before leaving. Don't neglect the temporary support work on the battlefield. Although most Astartes chapters are accustomed to fighting without support, since they will operate on a legion scale in the future,
Then you must learn the compulsory course of large-scale war, that is, field logistics support.
"It's still too slow."
Soshyan picked up the communicator and stated his request coldly.
"I can understand 2 hours as being rusty, but 3 hours is close to dereliction of duty. If on the battlefield, the Storm Claw formation does not receive ammunition replenishment for 3 hours, there may be nearly an hour of air support on the front line.
Blank, this may lead to very serious consequences. In the future, the entire process must be compressed to within an hour. This time the person in charge will not name and criticize."
Because the main body of this exercise is air-ground coordination, there are a large number of air units. This is also why Soshyan is leading the soldiers to explore new ways of warfare. There are nearly 800 soldiers in the entire exercise field, but the actual deployed infantry units
There are less than two companies, and most of them are scattered at the front in small teams.
But this does not affect the breakthrough speed. In fact, with the support of a large number of air vehicles, forward-distributed teams can be quickly transferred to any location at will.
In addition, a major feature of this exercise is that there are no "big guys" that are difficult to deploy quickly. All weapons and equipment must be able to be deployed quickly or even airdropped, so the Cruel Blade did not appear on the exercise ground.
Perhaps after staying in Ada for a long time, Soshyan's requirements for speed have become a bit high. Therefore, the ground vehicles of the White Templar exercise force are Land speeders, Javelin speeders, Land Raiders,
Rhino personnel carriers and other lightweight armor, including five Rhino command vehicles.
Soshyan knows that for military power, hardware is important, but software also plays a decisive role.
The prototype of this Rhino command vehicle is the Damocles type, but under Soshyan's specifications, Ulanhuda added stronger communication and sensor arrays to them. Its role is to guide the strike force.
targets, and coordinates the exchange of information between ground forward forces, rear fire support units, air formations and orbital fleets, and can even establish a combat chain of command with Knight mechas and Titan legions.
In addition to traditional equipment, this type of command vehicle is also equipped with many special signal transceivers, communication transmission and battlefield monitoring equipment to fulfill its responsibilities as the command and control hub of a combat company or combat group, including company to company and squad.
Links and coordinates team, surface-to-air and surface-to-orbit sound array communications and provides secure multi-band communications for coordination with other Imperial forces in the area of operations - this can be any combat unit, such as the Imperial Navy
Ships and fighter planes, Astra Militarum ground troops, the Sisters of Battle and even the Advocate General.
Soshyan, who has experienced many wars, is very clear that the biggest trouble on the battlefield is communication interference, so he specifically requires strengthening in this area. After synthesizing tens of thousands of war cases, the technical priests of Ulanhuda believe that
The main source of battlefield interference is psionic or chaotic energy, so they added psionic defense devices or anti-psionic equipment to these command vehicles to minimize the impact of chaotic psionic energy or enemy witchcraft on the battlefield on communications.
Device interference.
In addition, the command vehicle is also equipped with an extendable composite detection radar and a high-precision monitor, which can be used to locate enemy ground and air units, and use the meditator equipped with a black iron core to conduct data analysis, and then the solved
The target data is shared with a multi-party communication network formed by artillery, fighter aircraft and fleets in orbit.
