Dominate South Asia

Two kilometers away, a guerrilla calmly squatted on the ground. Next to him, there was a tripod with a cylinder more than one meter long on it. On the side of the cylinder was a huge aiming device.

He stared at the aiming device closely. The clear bright spots on the opposite side were his targets!

That was the infrared headlight of the Soviet armored vehicle!

At this time, the standard night combat device of the Soviets was still the infrared headlight. The infrared headlight illuminated everything in front, and the reflected infrared light was received by its own sighting device, so that the surroundings could be observed. Although the infrared light could not be seen by the naked eye, it was a clear target in the infrared imaging device! It was like someone was holding a flashlight in the dark.

The guerrilla had a serious expression. He knew that the more complex the weapon, the more it needed to be used by well-trained people, just like himself, who had mastered all kinds of advanced weapons very well. He was Osama.

Having a university degree is a valuable asset, and it is easier to understand and use these advanced weapons.

This is the second batch of TOW missiles shipped by the Americans. Compared with the first batch, these missiles have more outstanding performance. Not only are they shorter in length, but they also have longer ranges. More importantly, they are equipped with AN/TAS-4 night sights, which are infrared imaging sighting devices. They are expensive. Even the wealthy Americans only equipped the guerrillas with five. Moreover, this is the latest technology of the Americans, and its reliability is not very high. Compared with the infrared imaging devices that have been equipped in large quantities in later generations, it is simple and bulky.

Now is the time for this weapon to play its advantages. The Soviets' night vision devices cannot see at all at a distance of two kilometers. They can only see one thousand meters away at most. Now, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the surrounding fog is dispersing rapidly.

Soviets, go to hell! Osama aimed at a shining light spot on the opposite side, locked the target, and pressed the firing button.

"Bang." A tongue of fire burst out from the tail, and the hot tail flame made Osama feel a burning smell coming from his beard. He stared at his sight closely. As long as he aimed at the infrared headlight of the target, the missile could constantly adjust its flight trajectory through the wiring harness until it finally hit.

Soon, there was an explosion on the opposite side.

"The Soviet tanks have been destroyed, charge!" The guerrilla leader who was closest to the tank and could not raise his head because of the machine gun of the tank shouted loudly.

Hearing this shout, Muhammad couldn't help but cursed behind him, idiot, idiot!

He was still late. When he arrived here, the guerrillas' attack had already begun. Muhammad had no choice but to help the guerrillas kill those tanks to cover their retreat.

Who knew that these guys were already red-eyed. Seeing that the Soviet tanks were destroyed, they did not retreat, but went one step further.

The fog had gradually dispersed. In addition to the tanks, there were also a number of infantry fighting vehicles. When they found that the tanks were destroyed, they did not retreat, but rumbled up.

The tank was probably destroyed by RPG. This was the first thought of the Soviets. They were shooting from a fixed position just now. Now, they might as well start to move. A moving armored vehicle is difficult to be hit by an uncontrolled RPG.

After they started to move, in addition to the machine guns in the turret, the shooting holes on both sides could also kill the guerrillas on both sides. Some Soviet soldiers even opened the top cover of their heads and stuck out half of their bodies to shoot.

Several armored vehicles rumbled and started to quickly harvest the lives of the guerrillas. The guerrillas who were encouraged to kill fell down again.

Muhammad's heart was bleeding. Damn Nico Pudding, damn Masood, gathering all the guerrillas in the north together and then slaughtering them here, is this their purpose?

At this time, Muhammad was furious.

"Boom!" Another infantry fighting vehicle was destroyed. The loading of the TOW missile was very slow, and in order to help the guerrillas attacking in all directions, there was only one TOW missile launcher with night vision capability, Osama.

Before all the infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed, the battlefield would be full of guerrilla bodies! Muhammad gritted his teeth and took up another weapon.

Stinger missile!

In addition to the infrared imaging device of the TOW missile, it happened to be able to find obvious infrared headlights. In addition to this, there are also Stinger missiles!

The Stinger's seeker is an infrared and ultraviolet dual-mode. Although it mainly targets the infrared rays emitted by the aircraft's engine, the headlight is also a very good heat source!

It is not worth using the Stinger to attack armored vehicles. Ten armored vehicles are not as good as a Hind, but now, it is the armored vehicles that harvest the lives of the guerrillas, and Muhammad can only do this.

Using Stingers to attack armored vehicles, in history, the Afghan guerrillas really did this, but the effect has aroused opposition from experts and scholars. The main complaint is the warhead of the Stinger. The Stinger is used to shoot down airplanes. Its warhead is a 3 kg blast fragmentation type, which means that the high explosive explodes and relies on the splashing of shrapnel to hit the key parts of the airplane, just like the warhead of a grenade.

Such fragments, when hitting a tank, are like tickling the tank. The tank is not afraid of the attack of shrapnel. Even if a 155 mm grenade explodes on the body of the tank, although the personnel inside may be shocked, the tank will definitely not be destroyed.

What is useful for tanks is the warhead based on the carbide armor-piercing bullet principle.

Now, Mhamad is not sure, but he has no choice. Since the Afghan guerrillas have done this in history, Mhamad can only give it a try.

He picked up the Stinger missile, put on the earphones, and just aimed at the infrared headlight, there was a familiar beeping sound coming from the earphones.

Compared to an aircraft, the armored vehicle moves too slowly, and the infrared rays emitted by the infrared headlights far exceed the infrared radiation from the aircraft's tail nozzle. Therefore, the missile intercepted the target as soon as it took aim. Locked successfully.

shooting! Hammad pulled the firing button, and as the energy provided by the thermal battery fired the rocket motor at the tail, the Stinger missile flew out of the launch tube in a stream of heat.

The seeker follows the target correctly.

A Soviet soldier leaned out half of his body from the hatch of an armored vehicle and was shooting at the scattered guerrillas with his rifle. A ball of flame flying from a distance caught his attention, although the stinger had already ignited the second-level gun. The engine was still clearly visible in the night.

At this time, the fog was dissipating quickly, and he could see clearly.

RPG? No, RPG does not have such a long range, this is an anti-tank missile!

"Anti-tank missile!" He shouted, pulling the trigger of his rifle and shooting wildly in the direction of the missile, as if he wanted to use the bullets of his rifle to shoot down the missile.

This was impossible, the missile was still flying rapidly, and almost instantly, it flew in front of the car body.

There are two ways to fuse the Stinger, contact explosion and proximity explosion. The Stinger missile flying now has been adjusted to contact explosion.

"Boom!" The Stinger missile with a speed of 750 meters per second crashed into the armor with a projectile weighing several kilograms. Although the warhead of the Stinger missile is not hard, its speed is twice that of the anti-tank missile. The huge speed brings huge kinetic energy. When the warhead hits the armor of the infantry fighting vehicle, all the kinetic energy is converted into internal energy.

Then, the 3-kilogram warhead began to explode, and countless fragments flew across. All the energy of the explosion was released on the armor in a very short time. Then, there were several kilograms of projectile and fuel behind the warhead.

When all these turned into flames, a huge high temperature was generated. At this temperature, the strength of ordinary steel plates was not much better than paper. But now, the impact point happened to be aluminum armor with reinforced ribs. Suddenly, the entire vehicle In front of the body, a raging fire burned.

The driver in front was instantly plunged into a sea of ​​flames. The infantrymen carried in the back were shaken to pieces at the moment of the explosion. They insisted on opening the tailgate at the back, and only two infantrymen climbed out. The rest, They all fell into the sea of ​​fire.

Seeing that the infantry fighting vehicle in the distance was hit and set on fire, Mhammad suddenly felt happy. It seemed that the combat method created by the Afghan guerrillas was effective. Compared with the analysis of those who are calling beasts, it is more practical. The most important thing!

Maybe it really can't penetrate the T-62 tank, but against armored vehicles with very thin armor that can only resist rifle fire, Stinger missiles are still effective, especially when the infrared headlights provide the Stinger with a target. .

Encouraged by Hamad's success, several guerrillas carrying Stinger missiles began to attack the armored vehicles with their own missiles.

The fog had dissipated, and the fires ignited by several armored vehicles illuminated half of the sky, as well as the slightly white sky in the east, forming a picture of light. However, the corpses of guerrillas lying everywhere on the ground made it difficult for them to see the light. One simply cannot be inspired by a victory over a few armored vehicles.

"Rush forward! Rush into the city!" Mhamad gave the order.

After hearing Mhammad's order, Osama, who stood up from the TOW anti-tank missile, suddenly looked puzzled: "Captain, aren't we going back to the mountains? Why are we attacking the city again?"

Hamad never supported the attack on the city, otherwise he would not have had huge differences with Masoud, leading to a split in the newly united team.

If given the chance, Mhamad would certainly not do this, but Mhamad knew that they would have no chance of returning to the mountains.

As the fog disperses and day comes, the Soviet air power will appear soon. If we go back to the mountainous area now, we will be completely wiped out by the Soviets' indiscriminate bombing before we even get into the mountains. .
