- Lin Rui nodded after hearing Black Panther Gulei¡¯s words, ¡°If you ask me, if we take over this business, it will actually be a bit outweighed by the gains.
The Malian government is unlikely to offer us a high price, and such tasks are also quite troublesome. If we don't handle it well, it will be a big trouble for us. "
Silver Wolf nodded, "I have considered everything you said. But there is one thing I may not have told you yet. It has been confirmed that the weapons and equipment used by the thugs in this attack were all American equipment. .¡±
"How is it possible for American equipment?" Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is it American equipment that has been eliminated?"
¡°Not at all, but equipment from the US military in active service. Judging from the reports provided by the Malian government, these attackers used 5.56 bullets.
In other words, the weapons they use should be US military rifles such as XM-series m4a1. This is active US military equipment. "Silver Wolf Michelle replied.
Lin Rui also frowned. He knew that although Africa was flooded with various weapons, most of the armed forces in Africa actually used Soviet and Russian equipment.
This is not to say how good Soviet and Russian equipment is, but mainly because of its simple structure, cheapness and durability. This is actually how the name of the king of AK47 rifles came about.
Relatively speaking, although American equipment is good, its price is much higher than that of Soviet and Russian equipment. Therefore, in terms of cost performance, most African armed forces will choose cheaper Soviet and Russian equipment.
For example, the price of ak47 on the market is between 230 and 400 US dollars, while the price of m4a1 is between 800 and 1200 US dollars.
For the price of one m4a1, you can buy three ak47s. Therefore, for various local armed forces in Africa, the cheap and durable ak is more attractive than the expensive and delicate m4a1.
"What's even more outrageous than a group of militia thugs equipped with American rifles is that they also set fires everywhere during the attack. According to eyewitness accounts, the fire they used to set fires was some kind of rocket launcher with four tubes. .
According to our knowledge, there is only one piece of equipment that fits this description, which is the M202, a shoulder-fired flame offensive weapon used by the US military.
The biggest feature of this weapon is that it has four launch tubes that can load 66 mm caliber incendiary rockets.
The M74 rocket it uses is equipped with an M235 warhead, each warhead contains about 0.61 kilograms of incendiary agent. Moreover, the warhead uses TPA instead of napalm as the burning agent. "
"Tpa, what is it?" Lin Rui asked the sausage on the side.
"TPA is a kind of combustion agent, which is actually triethylaluminum thickened with polyisobutylene. Triethylaluminum is an organic metal compound that is extremely unstable and has the characteristics of spontaneous combustion when exposed to air. The combustion temperature can reach 1 ,200¡ãc.
When triethylaluminum burns, it emits a dazzling white light and emits far more heat than gasoline or napalm. It can burn the skin by thermal radiation alone without contact. "Sausage replied.
"Judging from the traces extracted by the Malian side at the scene, the attackers used ammunition using PTA incendiary agent. This basically confirms that the witnesses did not lie. The attackers used M202 shoulder-fired flame offensive weapons. .
Another thing I need to remind everyone is that even among the US military, m202a1 is only issued when needed for combat. Although each rifle company was issued nine, each rifle platoon was usually issued only one.
And the m202 has been rarely used since the mid-1980s, but it is still nominally the standard equipment of the US Army. During the Afghan War, the m202a1 still appeared on the list of standard equipment of the US military. "Silver Wolf Michelle looked at Lin Rui and others and said.
¡°That is to say, they not only obtained conventional US military equipment, but also some less used US military equipment.
¡°And these idiots actually used m202 to launch incendiary bombs just to burn the crops grown in the village. "Lin Rui shook his head.
"Also, I don't know if you have noticed anything. These attackers are using similar American equipment like the terrorist organization in Western Sahara." Silver Wolf Michelle whispered.
"I noticed it, I don't know what's going on. Has it become a trend to use American equipment recently?" Black Panther Gulei smiled.
"Actually, this is not funny at all. On the contrary, it makes people feel uncomfortable at all. This is likely to indicate that these armed organizations have been supported by some external forces to varying degrees recently. They have obtained quite sophisticated weapons through this. Lin Rui frowned.
"I have the same view as you." Silver Wolf Michelle nodded, "You said that a large number of American weapons suddenly appeared in some unobtrusive places in Africa. What is the reason?"
"They definitely didn't make it themselves, and it's unlikely that they did it."?Bought. If they want to buy, they will definitely buy weapons made in Soviet Russia or made in China.
Because at least the price will be much cheaper. For the same price, they can arm more people. Moreover, Americans have always insisted on the ban on arms sales in conflict areas in Africa.
Even the armed forces supported by the Americans themselves are unlikely to use American equipment. Americans usually use their money to purchase Soviet equipment to arm the forces they cultivate. Sausage shook his head and said.
¡°I have heard from Alpha before that he does arms business in Africa, and usually it is Soviet-Russian equipment. Very few local armed forces will buy expensive American equipment.
Arms dealers of all sizes operating in Africa will not sell American equipment to African armed forces because the cost is too high and the profit margin is too small. "Lin Rui nodded.
¡°Then the source of these weapons becomes a problem. I don¡¯t know if you have ever thought about it. In previous joint anti-terrorism operations, the United States and France provided a considerable number of American weapons to African anti-terrorist countries.
After the end of the counter-terrorism operation, most of these weapons were given to African counter-terrorism countries. The Orumi Federation is one of them. It is said that they took over a large amount of second-hand American equipment after the operation. "Silver Wolf Michelle said with a wink at them.
"So that's it." Lin Rui's eyes lit up, "You are saying that there is probably a secret society operating behind this. They provided the American equipment they obtained to these local armed forces and even terrorists."
"That's right, and if we follow this clue, it is very likely to find out what the relationship between the Orumian Federal Army and these armed organizations is.
Why does the Orumian Federal Army, also known as the secret society, provide weapons to these armed organizations? There is definitely a reason behind this. "Silver Wolf Michelle narrowed her eyes and said.
"I understand, it is precisely based on this that you accepted this task." Lin Rui suddenly realized.
"Yes, once the Americans discover that the Secret Society is providing weapons to extremist terrorist organizations, it will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among Americans. To bring down the Secret Society, these may not be enough, but they are enough to undermine Americans' trust in them." Silver Wolf Michelle nodded.
