Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

"Not only that," Fang Yu added, "because it's electromagnetically launched, it doesn't have the recoil and muzzle flash of traditional artillery, making its launch highly concealed. Its rate of fire is also far superior to traditional artillery, theoretically reaching 15 rounds per minute."

In addition to the main gun, the "Thor's Hammer" is also equipped with a quadruple multi-purpose missile launcher on each side, which can be loaded with different types of missiles according to mission requirements, such as anti-tank missiles, air defense missiles, and even small cruise missiles.

A remote-controlled weapon station is installed on the top of the turret, equipped with a 30mm cannon and a 7.62mm machine gun for use against close-range targets and low-flying aircraft.

“How are its defenses?”

Jovic asked, he knew that no matter how powerful the offensive weapon was, if the person's own protection was insufficient, it would be difficult to survive on the cruel battlefield.

"'Thor's Hammer' uses our latest developed 'Dragon Scale' active defense system,"

Fang Yu pointed at the diamond-shaped polyhedron armor blocks on the surface of the vehicle and explained.

“Each armor plate is integrated with a micro-radar and interceptor missile launcher. When an incoming enemy artillery shell or missile is detected, the system automatically calculates its trajectory and launches an interceptor missile at the optimal time to destroy it.”

"In theory, it can intercept armor-piercing projectiles traveling at 1700 meters per second."

This means that even the depleted uranium armor-piercing shells fired by the United States' most advanced M1A1 tank would hardly pose a fatal threat to Thor's Hammer.

Fang Yu then pointed to a smaller, but equally sci-fi unmanned combat vehicle next to him.

“This is the ‘Stormbringer,’ a medium-sized, multi-role combat platform in the ‘Apocalypse’ series. It is not equipped with a heavy main gun, but is more focused on electronic warfare and fire support.”

The Stormbringer's turret is equipped with dense electronic antennas and sensors, as well as two six-barrel rocket launchers and a high-rate chain cannon.

"The Stormbringer carries a simplified electronic warfare system similar to that of the 815 electronic reconnaissance ship,"

Fang Yu introduced.

"It can effectively interfere with enemy communications, radars, and drones, providing electromagnetic cover for our ground forces. At the same time, its rocket launcher can fire a variety of guided rockets, including thermobaric bombs and cluster bombs, with devastating strike capability against enemy infantry and lightly armored targets."

In addition to these two main models, Fang Yu also showed Jovic several other special operations platforms of the "Apocalypse" series, such as the "Judge" equipped with high-energy laser weapons, which is specifically used for counter-UAVs and precise removal of explosives; and the "Eagle Eye" equipped with advanced reconnaissance and communication relay equipment, which serves as a key node in the battlefield information network.

"These... these unmanned combat platforms, how do they work together?" asked Jovic, who was completely shocked by these weapons that were ahead of their time.

"This is the core technology of the 'Apocalypse' series - the swarm intelligent collaborative combat system,"

Fang Yu's eyes sparkled with pride.

"Each 'Apocalypse' combat platform has a powerful artificial intelligence core built in. They can be connected to each other via high-speed data links to form a unified combat network."

He walked to a large tactical display screen that simulated a city street fighting scene.

Dozens of "Apocalypse" platforms of different models flexibly shuttled in the complex urban environment, coordinated with each other, and attacked simulated enemy targets.

"In this network, each 'Apocalypse' is both an independent combat unit and part of the entire swarm. They can share battlefield information, autonomously assign tasks, and coordinate to attack targets."

"For example, several 'Eagle Eyes' are responsible for high-altitude reconnaissance and transmit target information to 'Mjolnir' and 'Stormbringer' in real time. The latter automatically select the most appropriate weapon to attack based on the target type and threat level."

"If one platform is damaged or destroyed, other platforms will automatically take over its mission, ensuring the stable operation of the entire combat system."

Jovic looked at the dazzling tactical coordination on the screen and was speechless for a moment.

This highly intelligent, networked collaborative combat capability has completely exceeded his understanding of ground warfare.

This is no longer a tank cluster charge in the traditional sense, but more like a group of steel beasts with collective intelligence, carrying out efficient and deadly hunting on the battlefield.

"More importantly," Fang Yu added, "the entire 'Apocalypse' swarm can be remotely commanded and controlled by commanders in the rear via an encrypted data link."

"Commanders can grasp the battlefield situation in real time and issue tactical instructions to the swarm without having to go to the front lines in person."

"In extreme cases, if the command link is interrupted, the swarm can continue to perform its mission autonomously according to the preset combat plan."

President Lu smiled and said, "Minister Jovic, now you understand why I said that we need to listen to Chief Engineer Fang's opinion on the specific weapons to be provided, right?"

"Although these 'Apocalypse' platforms are not tanks or artillery in the traditional sense, their comprehensive combat effectiveness far exceeds any single conventional weapon."

Jovic took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement.

He knew that if Yugoslavia could obtain these "Apocalypse" combat platforms, even in small quantities, it would be enough to gain a huge technological advantage in the confrontation with the Eagle Sauce.

"Chief Engineer Fang, can these... these weapons really be provided to us?" Jovic's voice was a little hoarse due to excitement.

Fang Yu nodded: "Of course. However, considering the technical complexity and confidentiality of the 'Apocalypse' series, we are temporarily unable to provide a complete combat platform. But..."

He changed the subject and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"We can provide Yugoslavia with a simplified version specially adapted for your quick mastery."

"For example, replace the electromagnetic cannon of 'Thor's Hammer' with a reinforced 125mm smoothbore cannon, and integrate some of the electronic warfare functions of 'Stormbringer' into your existing command system. At the same time, we will provide supporting drones to cooperate with these ground platforms in combat."

He pointed to another corner of the warehouse, where several medium-sized drones were parked.

These drones have a sleek shape and carry small missiles and precision-guided bombs under their wings.

"This is the Wing Loong II reconnaissance and strike drone," Fang Yu introduced. "It has a flight time of over 20 hours, a combat radius of over 1000 kilometers, and can carry a variety of precision-guided weapons."

"They will become your 'eyes in the sky' and 'gunships', working closely with ground forces to provide continuous aerial reconnaissance and fire support."

Jovic's eyes moved back and forth between these futuristic weapons and those modified advanced tanks and artillery, his heart filled with unprecedented confidence.

He knew that with these weapons, Yugoslavia would no longer be that weak country at the mercy of others...
