Chapter 5549: Stratofortress

"Look at these guys, put on this outfit, that's how it is." Sergey smiled.

"That's why we are needed. For drills like this, it is said that they are cooperating with the drill, but in fact they are still given some training courses.

Otherwise, let alone cooperating with the drill, these black buddies don't even know what to do with their guns. Lin Rui shook his head.

"Then what is our task?" Kuaima asked.

"The main task is to drill and coordinate joint operations to encircle and suppress local extremist organizations.

Including emergency response, rescue of hostages, removal of explosives, etc. "Lin Rui," the detailed task process is included in the task briefing. "

While talking, the black soldiers had already lined up.

"Just these guys? The emergency response swarmed, rescuing the hostages and opening fire.

The expulsion of explosives was done well, reflecting the fearless spirit of self-sacrifice, of course, sacrificing with the hostages. "Sausage smiled bitterly.

"Don't say that, Lao Mei hired us as a guide. I really like these black buddies.

Train them well, maybe they have a future. "Black Mamba smiled.

"Okay, these guys are handed over to you, there are still a few days before the formal exercise.

To help them adapt to their tasks during this time, at least let them understand what they are doing, instead of shooting indiscriminately with a gun.

Also, tell them that even if you fire at yourself, don't fire at the hostages. Lin Rui shook his head and left.

His people are responsible for multiple projects and dealing with dozens of African countries participating in the exercise.

He can't just look after a group of people.

This is a comprehensive exercise, and they are also responsible for teaching these African troops to learn and master the knowledge of applied tactics, ordnance maintenance, humanitarian rescue and other aspects.

But at this time, people from the exercise headquarters came to him.

The person responsible for contacting Lin Rui was a colonel officer Nelson.

"Mr. Rick, something is up again." Nelson walked over and greeted Lin Rui, "The above decided temporarily to increase the B-52 strategic bomber exercise.

B-52 training in East Africa with our partners. This long-distance training mission can show the global influence and flexibility of the US military. "

Lin Rui was a little surprised, "This is not the same as the previous plan, and to increase the strategic bomber project, is the exercise command serious?"

Nelson looked helpless, "The temporarily increased mission. It is said to be a counterattack against the first landing of the Russian Tu-160 bomber in Africa in October last year.

In October last year, two Russian Tu-160 strategic bombers landed at Waterkloof Air Force Base in South Africa.

This is the first time that the Russian Tu-160 strategic bomber has appeared in Africa and has attracted great attention from the outside world.

In fact, the recent situation in Libya is still in a deadlock. The United Nations recently convened a special meeting on the conflict in Libya, asking all parties to ban the delivery of weapons to Libya to prevent further escalation of the domestic war.

However, the interests of Russia and the United States in Libya are in conflict, and everyone wants to seize the initiative in times of turmoil.

Therefore, Major General Joel Taylor, Director of Operations of the U.S. Africa Command, believes that

Such a military exercise is also a proper demonstration of the U.S. military capabilities and international military cooperation capabilities, demonstrating the so-called superiority.

I just found out, but we will do what we have arranged above. "

"Well, what do I need to do?" Lin Rui asked.

"This strategic bomber formation will be stationed in Djibouti until the end of the exercise mission. We need you to strengthen security.

Because we have received news from you many times before, there will be terrorist attacks during the exercise.

Therefore, we require that you all be able to undertake additional security tasks throughout the exercise. Nelson replied.

"Djibouti base? The security situation there is very good." Lin Rui nodded, "and we have already sent security forces to take full responsibility for security issues during the exercise.

Regarding this point, I don't think I need to worry too much. "

"I understand that your company is very reliable. I can always rely on you, can't I?" Nelson smiled.

"Of course, as long as you pay. We will continue to be reliable." Lin Rui shrugged.

Nelson said sternly, "Rick, be careful, this time the B-52 bomber temporarily joined the exercise, which is hoped to prove its strength. You must not have any problems with this matter."

"There is a problem. If only the exercise requires B-52 bombers, then only a few B-52s need to be sent to the exercise airspace to make a round.

Anyway, this exercise is just like it is, it is impossible to throw live ammunition. Why land them at the base in Djibouti? Lin Rui couldn't help asking.

Speaking of the name of the B-52 "Stratofortress", many people have heard of it. This large U.S. military bomber often appears in military reports.

It is not clear that it is considered to be relatively new equipment of the US military. In fact, the B-52 has been in service since the 1950s. A total of 744 aircraft have been produced and 8 models have been developed. Production was not stopped until 1962.

Today, the US military still has more than 70 B-52 bombers in service with advanced new bombers such as B-1B and B-2.

One of the important reasons why the B-52 can still be relied upon by the U.S. military at such an old age is its unparalleled load capacity among U.S. bombers.

The B-52 has a take-off weight of 221 tons and has 8 TF33-P-3/103 turbine engines, each with a thrust of 75.7 dry cattle, so it can carry 27 tons of bombs.

In addition, the B-52 has a maximum range of 16,100 kilometers and can fly continuously for 22 hours. Because the ceiling can reach the earth's stratosphere of 16,800 meters, it has earned the nickname of the "strato fortress".

Lin Rui estimated that this kind of behemoth would naturally not throw live ammunition when participating in this type of exercise. At most, it would only make a symbolic appearance.

Otherwise, this aircraft has a bomb load of 27 tons, even if the Yankees are wealthy, they would not consume it in this way.

Since live ammunition is not dropped, the range of this strategic bomber is extremely large. It seems that there is no need to stop in Djibouti at all.

During the exercise, the time was stuck and flew around for a while, and then it was deemed that the mission was completed and it was enough to return to the voyage smoothly.

But Nelson was a little helpless. "It was all the above decisions. In October last year, two Russian Tu-160 strategic bombers landed at Waterkloof Air Force Base in South Africa.

So the above thought that we have to take this opportunity to also land the B-52 in Africa instead of just visiting and going back.

Don't look at me that way, I know how stupid this idea is, but that's how it is considered. They will not consider the following things. "

"Understood." Lin Rui nodded, "That is to say. We have to provide security services for the two bombers and crew during the exercise. Does that mean?"

"That's it." Nelson nodded.
