Chapter 3508: Fulton System

"They are about to take off." Scarface said loudly, "We can't catch up. This is bad. It may be possible for us to temporarily suppress them with on-board firepower, but we certainly can't deal with so many enemies."

"I understand." Lin Rui whispered, "First make sure they take off smoothly. The plane is most vulnerable to individual missile attacks during the take-off phase. We have to ensure this."

"Okay, got it. But where are you going? The runway is in front of us, and we'll be targeted in that kind of open area." Scarface shouted while shooting at the enemy.

"We have to distance ourselves from these terrorists." Lin Rui said loudly. "And we have to abandon the car. So we have to leave the car where we can block them. If they get blocked here, they will definitely go to the other entrance ahead, and in a few minutes we have to block them again."

"If we give up this car, our firepower will have no advantage." Scarface said loudly, "Even if we protect them and evacuate, we will be killed ourselves. Boss, is this your plan?"

"I never plan to die, I only plan to live. Take this rucksack." Lin Rui threw what looked like a parachute bag at Scarface.

"Are you kidding? Are we carrying an umbrella bag on the ground?" Scarface said while shooting.

"Trust me, this is not an umbrella bag, but our hope of escape!" Lin Rui said loudly. A series of bullets hit the body, sparks scattered. Lin Rui waved, "That direction!"

"I saw it!" Scar's face turned to the muzzle, a burst of firepower output, and the opponent was immediately suppressed again. "No, the ammunition is almost out." Scarface said loudly.

"Pump the car with the umbrella on your back, there is a machine gun in the back seat, take it with me." Lin Rui slammed on the accelerator, then stuck the accelerator with a crowbar to ensure that the vehicle would not slow down, and then confronted Scarface. The two of them each put on their equipment and jumped out of the car.

The terrorists who raided did not expect that the other party would actually drive straight over. Although they raised their guns to shoot, they still failed to play a role. The vehicles that rushed forward slammed into the entrance of the vehicles. The heavy impact soon caused the vehicles to burn. , and then a large burst of flames exploded. The speed of the terrorists' impact was once again suppressed at the entrance of the runway on the other side. At the same time, the plane has taken off and is getting farther and farther away.

Lin Rui and Scarface retreated while raising their weapons to shoot.

"Boss, this time we are finished." Scarface whispered, "We are surrounded. They can't catch up with the plane, and they have broken so many people in our hands. This time they will definitely take our anger out. "

"Don't worry, we won't give them a chance. Go, retreat in this direction." Lin Rui whispered while shooting.

"Are you sure there's a way there? I think it's a dead end." Scarface shook his head.

"There's a dead end there." Lin Rui replied, "But we can survive."

"How to live? Just rely on our two guns?" Scar said with a wry smile.

"Remember the backpack on your back?" Lin Rui asked.

Scarface frowned, "This parachute bag?"

"This is not a parachute bag. This is the Fulton Surface-to-Air Recovery System, acronym: STARS is a system used by the CIA, US Air Force and US Navy to recover ground personnel using a single MC-130EbatTalonI, nicknamed Skyhook Skyhook.

The system involves the use of an integral parachute harness and a self-inflating hydrogen balloon with additional lift lines. The MC-130E utilizes a V-frame on the nose to engage the parachute harness and roll it up on a reel. During the day, the red flag on the lift line is used to guide the aircraft to recover, and at night, the lights on the lift line are used. Lin Rui whispered, "The Hercules we are riding is an MC-130E model. And we can use this device to get back to the Hercules transporter. "

In fact, this Fulton system is not very advanced. It was first developed for the CIA in the early 1950s by Robert Edison Fulton Jr. The system evolved from a similar system used by the US and British armies during World War II.

Back in 1958, the Fulton Aerial Recovery System, or "Skyhook," took shape. The ground portion of the system includes an airdrop-friendly backpack with the necessary equipment for recycling: a harness, a 500-foot long braided nylon cord that attaches to the harness, a portable helium refill bottle, and a balloon to inflate quickly. After that, the balloon will straighten the rope when it floats, so that the aircraft can hook the target.

In the air part of the system, a 30-foot-long, 70-degree V-shaped frame will be installed on the nose of the aircraft. During recovery, the aircraft will fly straight to the floating rope. There will be a 425-foot mark on the rope. shiny tape. When the V-frame on the nose catches the rope, the balloon is released, and a spring-triggered sky anchor secures the rope's connection to the aircraft. After the rope has been drawn in a straight line under the fuselage, the crew hooks it with a J-hook and places it on the winch to pull the recovered person or item onto the plane.

The CIA's first use of the Fulton surface-to-air recovery system was "Operation Cold Foot." The purpose of the operation was to steal meteorological information from an unmanned weather device deployed by the Soviet Union in the Arctic Ocean. ton system returns. This is a thing of the Cold War days, so the Fulton system is already a very mature technology ~www.readwn.com~ is a system that can receive ground personnel in the air without the need for the plane to land. It's just that this type of system is mostly used for special operations of one or two people, and cannot be applied to combat on a large scale.

Lin Rui's scarred face ran to a hidden place, turned on the insurance, and pressed the inflation button. Two huge balloons carried them off the ground. By the time those militants found the balloons in the air, they were too far away to hit them again. "That's exciting, boss. I'll admit it's a good way to get out. But, to be honest, I'm **** my pants right now. I'd rather fight these **** on the ground than float in the air. Do you know how we're going to get down?"

"This is not just for escape. When the balloon is inflated and we float off the ground, the Hercules transport plane will receive the signal, and then return to recover us in the cabin." Lin Rui said through wireless headphones.

"Okay. What if they don't come? We're going to float down in the air until the balloon explodes and we fall? I gotta say, the guy who invented this system is a lunatic." Scarface exclaimed.

"No, the balloon will stop rising when it reaches a certain height. And when necessary, we can release the balloon and parachute down from the air." Lin Rui replied.
