Jihonov is definitely the representative of Andrei's most trusted military officers. When he was in the Far East Military Region, Jihonov was appreciated by Andrei and moved to the Moscow Military Region to become the commander of the Fourth Tank Division of the Guards, turning a stylistic division into a loud unit.

Afterwards, Jihonov even expressed his loyalty to the Soviets with practical actions, especially when Moscow was in turmoil and Boris mobilized some so-called "patriotic masses" to take to the streets and prepare to disrupt the order of the Soviets. The Fourth Tank Division firmly implemented Marshal Andre's order, drove into the Red Square, and set things right!

This army is the backbone of the Soviets!

Later, Jihonov was also promoted to the level and became the commander of the First Guards Tank Army, which included the Fourth Guards Division, the 32nd Guards Motorized Infantry Division, and the 144th Guards Motorized Infantry Division.

After all, this time the attack route is mostly mountainous, and fighting in mountainous areas, the motorized infantry division is more convenient than the tank division.

Although it is called the Tank Army, it only has one tank division, which does not mean that the attack power of this type of unit is not strong enough, because the Soviet motorized infantry division and the number of tanks equipped with are often able to catch up with the Western armored divisions.

Jihonov did not enter the top leadership of the Moscow Military Region. Of course, he also knew Andre's intention. Many times, the generals who led troops on the front line were more valuable than the senior officials in the military region. He loyally carried out every order of Marshal Andre, especially now, when attacking Alaska, he was even more on the front line!

At this time, sitting in a huge ground effect aircraft, he followed the direct troops of the group army to land in Alaska simultaneously. Jihonov was very excited.

In the past, landing on the island country greatly hit the Americans' arrogance, but now, landing on Alaska!

At the beginning, Alaska was bought by Americans. Now, if the Americans don’t return it, they will have to solve it with war!

There was the sound of a rumbling engine in the cabin, and Jihonov's eyes were staring at the chariots in the middle. These chariots were just entered into their troops three months ago and were also the most advanced weapons of the Soviets!

1k-17s laser tank!

Now, the Soviets already have laser weapons in outer space and ship-based laser weapons. These laser weapons are often megawatt-class lasers that can directly detonate missiles.

After all, the platforms of these weapons are huge, and at the same time, land-based laser weapons are also being developed in full swing.

In fact, this weapon has always been secretly developed by the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, people were surprised to find that there were already laser tanks in the Soviet era!

This laser tank looks the same as a multi-tube self-propelled rocket launcher. It uses a crawler chassis with a fifteen-tube launch device on it. You can see that each tube has a red lens inside.

This laser cannon using solid alumina as the laser source requires the use of cylindrical artificial ruby ​​crystals weighing up to 30 kilograms. Because the laser generated by one laser is not powerful enough, fifteen lasers need to work simultaneously. Through an automated aiming system, multiple laser beams are projected onto the surface of the smooth target and focused together, which can produce a strong cavitation effect and destroy the enemy's sighting equipment.

From the perspective of ideas, there is a similar idea to the laser device on the Chinese tank in later generations.

It cannot directly detonate a nuclear bomb. Its greatest use is to destroy the opponent's sighting equipment. This greatly limits its use conditions. At the same time, the high cost makes it absolutely unbearable for the disintegration of Russia, becoming a useless existence, and eventually ends up being dismantled and cannot be put into service at all.

But now, the situation has changed a lot. After the space-based and sea-based laser weapons continue to mature, this land-based laser weapon has also begun to mature!

It uses solid-state lasers. After various technological improvements, this laser can eventually emit a maximum power of 0.5 megawatts! This is no longer destroying the opponent's sighting facilities, but directly destroying the opponent's weapon platform!

Whether it is tanks on the ground, aircraft in the sky, missiles flying in, or even strategic missiles, they can be destroyed!

In the atmosphere, the attenuation is very serious. The power of this laser is not large enough, so its effective distance is at most 20 kilometers. However, for ground weapons, the distance of 20 kilometers is definitely long enough!

At the same time, this laser also requires powerful energy. Even if it is equipped with a generator with sufficient power, it will be limited by fuel and eventually become useless. Therefore, the Ural Transportation and Machinery Industry Design Bureau in Sverdlovsk, which is responsible for the project chassis, is the highest research and design agency for the Soviet self-propelled artillery. Under the leadership of chief designer Yuri Vahirevich Toma Xiaofa, a new chassis was specially developed for it.

From the outside, this tracked chassis is the same as the chassis of the six load-bearing wheels of an ordinary self-propelled gun. However, when it moves, it cannot hear any internal combustion engine sounds inside, only the sizzling sound of the motor. Because it uses electric propulsion! This power is provided by a small nuclear reactor at the rear of the vehicle body.

The technology of the Soviet small nuclear reactor has long been mature, and it is an example of the large-scale use of spacecraft, but this is the first time it is used on land.

In addition to the cost issue, another key point is safety. This kind of weapon needs to be on the battlefield. Once it is destroyed by the opponent's anti-tank weapon, it will cause a terrible nuclear leak.

Therefore, the outside of this nuclear reactor is covered with thick and the newly developed composite armor, and there are various emergency measures to ensure the safety of this nuclear reactor and to achieve emergency shutdown at any time. At the same time, this is just a temporary means.

More advanced nuclear fusion reactors have also been invested in a lot of research and development in the Soviet Union, which is related to the energy problems in the next few decades.

Nuclear reactors provide almost unlimited energy to charge the supercapacitor of the upper laser to meet the shooting needs. When shooting with the strongest 0.5 megawatts of power, it takes one minute to fill it up.

The Fourth Tank Division is an experimental unit, and all kinds of new equipment will be tried in this unit. Therefore, correspondingly, the cultural level of the soldiers of the Fourth Tank Division is also the highest. Many grassroots commanders are already college graduates. Now, those who operate these laser tanks have taken corresponding courses.

There are not many laser tanks in total, only five of them. At the same time, they will not participate in front-line combat. The specific tactics still require soldiers to explore.

The flight was long, and just as they carried out strategic transportation, air combat had begun ahead.
