Did you see that? This is the demonstration of our reconnaissance capabilities!
The TV series "Shangganling" broadcast on CCTV-1's prime time slot features a scene where Duan Xianfeng risks his life to guide artillery fire. This year marks the anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Shangganling. Join CCTV reporter Zhang Chuxue to experience the current reconnaissance capabilities.
Armed reconnaissance vehicles, artillery radars, and reconnaissance drones, equipped with modern and informationized technology, are deployed together to designate targets for artillery. The main tasks of armored reconnaissance vehicles are reconnaissance and fire guidance for artillery. Their advantages lie in high mobility and ease of operation, allowing them to independently select targets and accurately measure distances.
Artillery radar can accurately locate the positions of enemy artillery positions. It has a special skill that allows it to precisely measure information such as the space, position, and speed of projectiles in the air, calculate the entire parabolic trajectory, and accurately determine where the shell is aimed or from where it is fired.
The reconnaissance drone has a long flight time, high altitude, and long distance, allowing for extended cruising. Reporter Zhang Chuxue from the central broadcasting station witnessed the takeoff process of the reconnaissance drone on site. "The drone is now mounted on the launch vehicle. From this angle, one can clearly see its '廿' shaped twin tail booms, which provide better aerodynamic performance, making the drone fly more stably. Throughout the entire shooting exercise, the drone will maintain continuous cruising in the air, providing more comprehensive information for the artillery on the ground."
After receiving the target information, the artillery was also ready to fire. As the command was given, several artillery pieces on the position fired simultaneously, accurately striking the target. Forefathers, can you see? This is the current reconnaissance capability we possess!
