"In other words, if we can find this drone quickly, we can still keep the intelligence data captured on the drone." Lin Rui nodded, "That's why the Americans require us to obtain intelligence, and the aircraft body can be blown up. .¡±
"According to the map analysis, it is impossible for this drone to be transported out of the desert. Because the US military is not a vegetarian. After discovering that the drone was lost, it immediately mobilized satellites to investigate the surrounding areas." Scarface nodded. "I agree with the boss. This drone should have been transported somewhere in the desert and hidden."
Lin Rui suddenly stood up and pressed the communication headset, "Cobain. How long was the interval between when the US military discovered that the drone had lost contact and was stolen, and when they called satellites to survey the surrounding areas?"
"The U.S. military's reconnaissance satellites are not synchronous, so it will take a certain amount of time to wait for the satellites to be in place before they can conduct reconnaissance. It should be within two to three hours." Coburn replied.
"That is to say, within two or three hours, the drone has been transported and hidden." Lin Rui whispered, "This proves that our judgment is correct. The drone must be hidden in the desert." Somewhere in the middle. If you subtract the opponent's action time, it will be no more than one to two hours' drive from the landing site. I need to determine the approximate range."
"I have been calculating, based on the speed of the large truck traveling in the desert area. It should be within fifty kilometers from the incident site, or even smaller." Cobain replied. "I will send the calculation results to your tactical tablet."
"Thank you." Lin Rui cut off the communication and turned to the brothers, "Cobain will send us a range, and then we will search according to the map. The focus will be on possible oases and inhabited villages or ruins."
"I have received it." Sausage said while holding the tactical tablet. "This area is not very big. There are several small nomadic villages nearby. But I doubt they will enter a place with villagers. It is more likely that, Some unknown little oasis.¡±
"Is there such a place?" Lin Rui turned around and asked. "It's on the satellite map." Sausage replied, "There is an ancient oasis about thirty kilometers away from us. It used to be a Berber settlement, but then these Berber tribes moved one after another and was gradually abandoned. .Currently it shows that it is a no man¡¯s land.¡±
"Let's go, let's go there." Lin Rui nodded, "Let the brothers be prepared. This search is very likely to encounter enemy forces."
These vehicles are constantly climbing over sand ridges. Driving in the desert is very difficult. There are no roads in the desert and it is full of loose sand. If the car has insufficient horsepower or the chassis is relatively low, it will easily sink in and become impossible to drive out. When going uphill, you should refuel all the way, stop the gas when you are approaching the top of the slope, use the resistance of the sand to help slow down, and do not brake. When two-thirds of the car body passes the top of the slope and the vehicle stalls, you should refuel all the way down the slope. The most important thing is to master the speed when climbing over the sand beam at the top of the slope. If you go too fast, you will speed up, if you go too slow, you will be stuck on the sand beam.
Fortunately, Lin Rui and others were driving desert assault vehicles provided by the US military this time. This desert assault vehicle looks so simple that it doesn't even have a windshield, but it is actually the famous Chenos Scorpion desert assault vehicle. In order to reduce weight, this car does not use four-wheel drive, because the transmission shaft of a four-wheel drive vehicle is too heavy and unreliable. The body weight is light in the front and heavy in the rear, and the off-road capability is very powerful.
Although the Chenos Scorpion desert assault vehicle sacrifices armor protection, it is lighter, more flexible, faster and more powerful. It has only three members. For the sake of portability, the vehicle body is welded from aluminum tubes, and all unnecessary cuts such as doors and armor are discarded. Members wear body armor as their only protection, but this vehicle is equipped with large-caliber machine guns, grenade launchers, anti-tank rocket launchers and even TOW anti-tanks.
During the Gulf War, the first batch of multinational troops to enter Kuwait was neither a powerful M1 main battle tank nor an M2 infantry fighting vehicle. It was a desert assault vehicle that was so simple that it did not even have a windshield. The U.S. Navy SEALs drove As it disappeared and disappeared in the desert, looking for Scud missiles, it was like a sharp blade that circled the flanks and rear of the Iraqi army. It could not hit or catch up, making the Iraqi army miserable.
The biggest disadvantage is that members do not have seat belts, and wearing helmets or goggles is the windshield. Once we started driving, the yellow sand was billowing and the dust covered the sky. The vehicle in front was better off. You can't follow the car at all, because even if you wear a dust mask, you won't have time to filter out such a large amount of dust.
Lin Rui¡¯s face was covered with a sand-proof hood that could not block the all-pervasive dust. He had no choice but to put on a dust-proof mask. In a short time, all these mercenaries were disgraced. There was dust everywhere on his face. Except under the goggles and mask, all the skin exposed to the air was covered with dust.
Corresponding to the map, they found the approximate location, which looked like a dilapidated ruins. Collapsed earth wall?Severely weathered in the desert. The houses in the village are all built of red clay, and some are in ruins. They are all densely packed and built one after another against the mountain. Some winding alleys up and down are responsible for stringing them together into a whole.
The interior of this ancient village ruins is like a large maze, full of forked roads extending in all directions and similar ruins. Lin Rui turned around and said, "We must follow the map, otherwise we will easily get lost, and some ruins are already crumbling. It is very dangerous to trespass without knowing the situation. In addition, we must be careful. The terrain here is complicated and we may encounter enemies at any time, so we need to stay alert." .¡±
The ancient village still has the ruins of city walls, gates and fortresses that were rammed out of red soil many years ago. They are still clearly layered, but the carvings on them have long been completely weathered and most of the buildings have collapsed, especially the semi-collapsed watchtowers standing at the four corners. conspicuous. There were no traces of anyone around. It seems to be just an abandoned ancient village.
Beside an ancient water channel, Sergey kicked the remains of an earthen pot on the ground, shook his head and said, "It seems that even the water source has dried up. No wonder there is no one there. I don't think there is anything we are looking for here." s things."
"Keep looking. Also, don't forget to pick up your weapon. It's good for you to be patient." Lin Rui advanced with the gun while gesturing behind him to signal the troops to follow.
"Okay." Sergey followed him, looking around. On the other side, Crazy Horse called them over the radio, "Boss, we seem to have made some discoveries here. But I don't know if it can be considered a discovery."
"Wait for me, I'll be here soon." Lin Rui nodded.
