In the future battlefield, drones are the key to air supremacy

A conflict between Russia and Ukraine has allowed the whole world to see the advanced nature and economic nature of military drones.

5moonOn the 8th, according to a video on the Internet, a Bayraktar TB2 drone in Ukraine destroyed the Russian Mi-8 helicopter that was on mission in Snake Island.。

Seeing this video, many people discovered that they have beenUkraine is not without the power to fight back. The TB2 drone has become Ukraine's killer weapon and trick. It is gradually breaking through the air superiority established by Russia at the beginning of the war and gradually gaining air supremacy.

Modern Warfare LostAir RightsIt means being in a passive situation, facingTB2, Russia's situation is not optimistic.

During this time, just around Snake Island, UkraineTB2 drone destroyed several Russian patrol boats, vehicles, and ground air defense facilities。And more importantly,The price of TB2 drone is only $500,000, evenHit in the war，LossesalsoyesRelatively cost-effective, after all, compared toThe destroyed Russian Mi-8 helicopter cost 4 million, almost 8 times that of TB2.

In this timeRussia-Ukraine conflictmiddleRefresh people's perception of military dronesandMilitary TechnologyAdvanced。

existIn early November 2018, Ukraine actively introduced Bayraktar TB2 drone, and even planned to establish production lines in China for mass production. In addition, Serbian President Vucic, who we are familiar with, is also very interested in introducing Bayraktar TB2.

only,The Bayraktar TB2 is not excellent because it does not use a heavy-fuel aircraft engine that is more suitable for drones. This makes the Bayraktar TB2 not only have certain safety risks, but also cannot reach a better flight ratio, achieve longer flight endurance, and thus cannot establish stronger aerial pressure.

So, compared to the United States,Bayraktar TB2 drone still belongs toNot advanced。Up toIn 2021, the total flight time of the "Gray Eagle" series drone system equipped by the US Army has exceeded 1 million hours.，Exceed80% of flights are used to support combat deployment, with a mission completion rate of more than 90%。The "Grey Eagle" series of drones are a type developed by General Atomics for the US Army, including the new "Grey Eagle" extended-range type (GE-ER)。The GE-ER drone has a battery life of up to 40 hours, which has better mission loading capabilities, reliability and maintainability than the traditional MQ-1C "Grey Eagle" that was first put into use in 2009.

According to the U.S. Army's modernization plan,The capabilities of GE-ER drones will be further enhanced to support multi-domain operations (MDO)Other advanced technologies, and will be equipped with new models200 horsepower enhanced heavy oil engine and two 7.5 kW brushless generators.

DARPA was held between American universitiesPassThe competition for the use of drones clusters has jointly explored the autonomous cluster combat technology of drones with some American military institutions, and derived them according to the size and number of drones.According to the United States' plan, they will realize cluster combat operations of drone systems by 2036, and will have the cognitive ability of cluster battlefields in 2025 earlier.

Domestic scholars are not behind such imaginative global military technology development trends, and they also know thatUnderstanding: In the future, intelligent unmanned cluster systems such as drones, unmanned vehicles, unmanned ships, and unmanned submarines will inevitably bring subversive reforms to the combat mode. In this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the large-scale application of drones is an extremely vivid example. China will naturally not miss this important military technological innovation and should not miss this important military technology innovation.

However, understanding drones and mastering drones are two different things.All over the worldEveryone knows that drones are important。But can be done, especially masteredHeavy oil in this aspectThere are only a handful of core technologies, but fortunately, we are among them.nation。

At present, vigorously developing heavy oil aviation engines has become a consensus in the field of military science and technology at home and abroad, because it can reduce the cost of use while simplifying the military's logistics support and improving the response capabilities while reducing the cost of use.，Enhance the combat capabilities of the army。

If you want to prevent the war from happening, you must always be prepared for the war. Facing a future battlefield that is increasingly dependent on more technology, bold technical ideas, forward-looking technology research and development, and pragmatic technology application, and make good use of our technical reserves, so that we can achieve long-term peace for our deterrence and combat effectiveness.
