Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 436 Big guy

Early the next morning, Song Heping came to the hangar to see the Russian team tinkering with the two SU-24 fighter-bombers.

A few days ago, Song Heping followed one of the pilots, Petrovich, into the sky and experienced the charm of this Soviet-made fighter-bomber.

Song Heping had never ridden a fighter jet in the army before, and he only carried out airborne operations in transport planes and helicopters.

Petrovich has the arrogance of a Russian. Although his country has declined, he still maintains the mentality of a great power.

Even though he is currently one of the flight department employees of "Musician" Defense and is receiving a salary from Song Heping, he still wants to give his boss a warning.

So after the plane was in the air, he deliberately performed a lot of high-G maneuvers, just to make Song Heping vomit on the spot as a prank.

Unexpectedly, after a long time, although Song Heping looked a little nervous, he didn't vomit!

This made Petrovich admire him very much.

The Russians are all powerful.

Always respect the strong, but kick the weak and spit at them.

Song Heping's calmness won Petrovich's respect.

When I saw him come in, I hurried over to say hello.

"Hey, boss, do you want to go up to the sky and play today?"

In the face of Petrovich's enthusiasm, Song Heping was unimpressed and said, "Only when you have necessary training can you fly. Why fly when you don't have any? Aviation fuel is not cheap!"

Indeed, this aircraft uses a turbojet engine, so its fuel consumption is not small. In fact, it is not only the SU-24 that has high fuel consumption, but all Russian aircraft have high fuel consumption.

Every flight, even for only half an hour, would cost Song Heping tens of thousands of dollars, not counting the loss of the aircraft.

What does it mean that a cannon shot brings in a fortune?

Song Heping finally understood this.

Fortunately, he bought all the fuel from General Ramas.

As a shareholder of the school, Lamas naturally could not allow the school's costs to be too high, so he naturally sold half of the aviation fuel in the army or gave it away, which was considered as a way to benefit himself at the expense of the public interest.

In fact, this was a very important reason why Song Heping initially brought Silas in to invest and gave him dividends.

Although the company now has a flight department, Song Heping considered the maintenance costs and daily fuel consumption before purchasing fighter jets and helicopters.

If I were to spend the money myself on the company account, it would cost a lot of money just to maintain these monsters.

However, when it comes to this special forces military school in Venezuela, where the expenditure accounts are recorded in the school's books, the situation is completely different.

You can then confidently ask Lamas for all kinds of favors, including fuel, spare parts, etc.

You know, there are also many Soviet-made fighter jets in Venezuela. If you need to purchase parts in the future, let Ramas purchase them from the Russians in the name of the military and then sell them to yourself at a low price. This is also the best way to reduce costs.

Since he formed his own flight department, Song Heping realized that if you don’t have money, don’t play with airplanes. These things are money-eating beasts.

However, in order to help ELN dominate the market, he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

Without this thing, it is impossible to achieve a surprise victory against AUC.

"Petrovich, you're ready for today."

Song Heping said this while looking at his watch.

"The weapons and ammunition you're assigned will arrive today. You'll inspect them with the supplier. You're experts in this stuff, so see if they're any good."

"Boss, have you bought all the mounted weapons I requested?" asked Petrovich.

"Two Kh-58 anti-radar missiles, two 'Aphid' R60 air-to-air missiles, and two precision-guided bombs for each plane. Most importantly, I bought two big guys for each of your planes!"

"You don't really need to buy a lot of precision-guided munitions," Petrovich said. "There aren't many high-value targets here that warrant such expensive ammunition. Just buy regular bombs. We can hit them!"

Song Heping said, "No, either don't do it, or do it well. There's an old saying in our country: If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. If your tools don't work, how can you fight a war and win it?"

The bombardier Vasily asked, "Boss, what is this big thing you're talking about? Is it the FAB?"

The FAB he mentioned is actually a general term for a series of Russian-made aerial bombs.

There are many models under FAB, most of which are named with numbers, such as FAB-1500 or FAB-3000.

The number is in kilograms.

That is, the power equivalent.

For example, FAB-1500 means that the warhead of this thing is 1500 kilograms, and the explosive power can be roughly guessed by looking at the number.

This is also what Petrovich called a cheap product. FAB is an aerial bomb, most of which are unguided, but it can also be equipped with a guidance kit to make it a guided munition, but its accuracy is just average.

However, in the face of explosive power, accuracy is nothing.

As the saying goes, if you lack precision, you make up for it with power.

One force can defeat ten skills, and great strength can create miracles.

"It's not FAB. I made something more interesting, the ODAB-1500. How about it? Do you like it?"

Song Heping asked Vasily with a grin. "Suka!"

Vasily screamed.

"You can get that thing?!"

He was very surprised.

ODAB, like FAB, is a general term for a series of bombs.

Unlike FAB, the latter is an aerial bomb with high explosive properties.

And ODAB is a thermobaric bomb, a true thermobaric bomb.

FAB has an advantage in destroying fortifications and buildings, but in terms of eliminating ground forces, FAB is just a little brother to ODAB.

The explosive power is also calibrated in numbers. ODAB-1500 means that the explosive equivalent of this thermobaric bomb is 1.5 tons!
一般来说，威力强大的温压弹在其5到10米之内可以造成300千帕以上的超压，在50米的距离上也有100千帕以上的超压。

The maximum overpressure a human can withstand is only 50 kilopascals. Therefore, the overpressure generated by the ODAB-1500 at a distance of approximately 50 to 100 meters is sufficient to completely crush a human body. After the thermobaric bomb detonates, a low pressure level returns within a certain range, causing the previously flattened human body to rapidly expand again, ultimately being torn to pieces.

The center of a thermobaric bomb explosion will generate ultra-high temperatures of around 2500 degrees, which can scorch human tissue. Even if there are very lucky soldiers who can avoid all the above attacks, there will be a lack of oxygen in the core area of ​​the thermobaric bomb explosion, and those who cannot escape will eventually suffocate to death.

Therefore, bombs such as ODAB are known as the most powerful type of non-nuclear ammunition in the Russian arsenal.

With one strike, all living things on the ground within the affected area will be turned into corpses. It is no exaggeration to call it a powerful weapon.

Vasily was surprised because the Russian military rarely sells this thing to other countries because of some technical issues.

Song Heping can actually buy it!

This is amazing!
The Russian pilots looked at each other in bewilderment. They had originally thought it was incredible to get a FAB, but they hadn't expected to get an ODAB directly...

"Boss, who are you planning to fight this time?"

Petrovich had never asked Song Heping where the two planes would be used.

I originally thought that defense companies could only deal with drug trafficking gangs and local forces at most.

Having a FAB is already a great honor.

Now they're actually going to use thermobaric bombs...

Who are they going to kill?

"You don't need to ask, but I absolutely guarantee your safety. Just do as I say. Don't worry, I'm not trying to seize power."

Song Heping gave these Russians a reassurance.

"I want to use this to destroy their psychological defenses and make them give up resistance. Do you understand? Only this way is the most merciful approach. Have you heard of the saying 'Thunderbolt means reveal the heart of a bodhisattva'?"

"Bodhisattva...merciful..." Petrovich could not understand the Chinese wisdom contained therein.

"Old squad leader, the weapons have arrived!"

While they were chatting, Jiang Feng came over to report.

"The convoy has arrived at the gate!"

"Come on, let's go outside and take a look!"

Song Heping was overjoyed when he heard that the ordered weapons had arrived.

Lamas' strength in Venezuela is unquestionable.

Such large-scale arms shipments can be brought in through formal channels.

It feels great to have the support of a military boss!

Several pilots followed Song Heping out of the hangar and saw from afar five container trucks coming from the direction of the school gate which had not yet been built.

"Jiang Feng, take people and bring them here!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Feng ran away.

Song Heping looked at the five trucks and suddenly became nervous.

These things are powerful weapons, so you must be careful.

He felt the hairs on his face begin to stand up.

"Nikola! Nikola!"

Song Heping shouted the name of Nikola, the leader of the ground crew.

"Come here quickly and give me instructions when we unload the cargo. Don't let it explode. I'll leave it all here!"

　Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket!
