Episode 69 – UMTAS

Inside OSS Unit 1 coming to Tawi-Tawi, the conversation with Sergeant Park Tae-ju was getting longer.

“It’s not that simple. As I said before, Russia was the country that killed Germany by killing 29 million people during the German-German War.”

“No matter what happens, it’s a frustrating situation.”

“Even if it seems like politicians are just eating. It is their job to overcome such situations.”

“In this serious situation, there are people who drink, play golf, and eat poorly.”

“That’s true… Let’s take comfort in looking at China and Russia.”

As the conversation deepened, an in-flight announcement was heard.

– This is the captain. OSS ER1 will soon arrive at Tawi-Tawi Bongao Airport. Please take your seats and prepare for landing.

The plane landed easily at Bongao Airport, and we returned to Sinheung Camp. Shinheung Camp without director Kim Wan-jun felt somewhat lonely.

As I arrived at my accommodation and was unpacking my clothes, an alarm rang informing me that the security gate had arrived. It was Papa Bear, SBU’s Ghost Bear.

[… OSS’s proposal regarding the introduction of Bayraktar is a proposal we are thankful for now that we have invaded Belarus.

We will proceed immediately.

Coincidentally, Baykar’s unmanned attack aircraft factory is being built in Ukraine.

But can you send me a sufficient down payment first? Also, please let me know the follow-up procedures, including documents…]

I wrote a reply right from where I sat down.

[ … I wish Ukraine good luck. We would like to express our gratitude for accepting OSS’s offer.

We will first remit the $400 million down payment that you previously announced in the security cable. and ]

I thought it was necessary to show OSS’s financial power and will through a security letter sent to SBU Ghost Bear.

[… We will not proceed with any document procedures such as contracts.

Working on a project worth close to $1 billion without a contract should be considered a sign of OSS’s trust in Ukraine and Ghostbear.

Apart from the $400 million down payment, we will provide support if additional funds are needed.

OSL Director Jeong Si-woon will contact you. ··· ]

To SBU Papa Bear, the security tradition said it was a sign of trust. He had to leave no records for confidentiality reasons.

Director Kim Jun-myeong and Warrant Officer Seo Ji-seok were called to the dormitory. And it was announced that Bayraktar would be introduced.

Warrant Officer Seo Ji-seok opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

“and! “It’s something completely different from the drones we use today.”

“…”

“That thing is an attack drone capable of long endurance at an altitude of 5km. “It’s like it’s equipped with missiles.”

Warrant Officer Seo Ji-seok and Director Kim Jun-myeong looked very encouraged.

“Having a MALE UCAV…”

– MALE (Medium Altitude Long Endurance), UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) unmanned attack aircraft –

Director Kim Jun-myeong said with a welcoming face.

“Now you don’t have to be afraid of tanks.”

“That’s right. “An anti-tank missile launched at 5,000 meters is more terrifying than a Javelin.”

– Javelin: FGM-148 US military portable anti-tank missile –

“Then how far can Bayraktar fly in the sky?”

“It is possible to fly continuously for more than a day, up to 27 hours.”

“wow! There is no comparison with our drone, which lasts less than an hour. ha ha ha”

Warrant Officer Seo Ji-seok spread his arms as if he were trying to express the appearance of a drone.

“The wingspan is 12 meters. This is not a toy-like drone. Not to mention reconnaissance capabilities…”

Warrant Officer Seo Ji-seok continued his story with excitement.

“Is that all? The Bayraktar TB2 can stay in the sky all day with four UMTAS guns.”

– Oh oh

– UMTAS (Uzun Menzilli Tanksavar Sistemi) anti-tank missile developed by Turkiye / weight 37.5 kg, range 8 km –

“It’s something that can blow away even Russia’s latest tank, the T-90, with one hit.”

Everyone was once again amazed at Warrant Officer Seo Ji-seok’s knowledge about Bayraktar.

“Warrant Officer. The one coming in this time is TB-3. The wingspan is 14m, but it can be folded. It is easy to operate and can be launched from a ship.”

“Oooh! How many cars are coming in?”

“There are 100 units in total.”

– yes?

– wow!

“CEO. “That is almost the number of units owned by the country.”

“Haha yes. Warrant Officer, please prepare for operator training. “It will require specialized personnel, but it would be nice if our employees could handle it all.”

“yes. All right.”

…

An advance payment of $400 million for the introduction of drones was transferred to the SBU Ukrainian Security Service. The daily life of Shinheung Camp was busy yet peaceful for several days.

At our request, Ghost Bear decided to first send three Bayraktar TB-3s and one set of control systems for training. (For quick transportation and convenience, weapons such as missiles were excluded.)

And thankfully, they said they would dispatch an operation instructor to Tawi-Tawi for operator training and drone maintenance.

When I saw the words ‘maintenance’ and ‘repair’ in Papa Bear’s message, I suddenly realized something.

After a year or two, maintenance and repairs would be needed on our various ships. It was necessary to prepare before such unrest occurred.

It was impossible to take a boat to Geoje Island every time. This was because the ship was useless while it was in the dock at the shipyard.

I sent an email to Hanwha Ocean Vice President Han Gyu-dong requesting the dispatch of an engineer. Then I made a call.

“Hello, Vice President Han, how are you?”

“yes. CEO. “It looks like one of the three ESBs ordered will be able to be launched fairly quickly.”

“oh! Is that so.”

“Yes, there happened to be a shipping company that placed an order for a large oil tanker but then gave up on taking over it.”

“haha. thank god. “The reason I’m calling you today is because I want to talk about something other than that issue.”

“Oh, I see. “Please tell me.”

“I sent a separate email. “I would like you to send an engineer to maintain our ship.”

“Ah… it’s already time to take care of that. All right. however ···.”

“yes ··· ?”

“For full-scale maintenance, a dock will be needed…”

“Oh, I’m thinking of buying a large floating dock. “It’s already been made.”

“Oh, that will do. Even to the dock… I am always amazed by OSL’s capabilities. haha”

“And if there are any retirees who would like to work at our OSL, please introduce them as we will treat them with the best treatment.”

“ah. All right. “I can think of a few deserving people.”

“Yes, please. “Vice President”

“Recently, the former vice-president of this shipyard retired and was looking into immigrating to New Zealand or Australia. “Let me ask you.”

“If you are worried. Please tell him that I will send him a flight and that he can come and see it and then decide.”

“haha. all right.”

After finishing the phone call with Vice President Han Gyu-dong. We checked the things necessary for Bayraktar operation.

A drone runway, hangar, and control room had to be built immediately within Sinheung Camp.

Just then, I received word that Hyein and Director Kim Wanjun had completed their schedule in Korea. We are happy to send the G650 ER jet to Incheon Airport.

I was always making someone wait, but then I found myself waiting. I felt like I knew a little bit about the meaning of waiting.

While waiting for the jet to return from Korea, the alarm on my smartphone suddenly rang loudly.

It was risk scope. ORI indices across the US and Europe were soaring rapidly.

– ORI (Omni risk Index) (overall) risk index used in risk scope –

It seemed clear that something was going to explode.

Hiding my anxious feelings, I went to Bongao Airport to meet Hye-in and Director Kim Wan-jun.

Hyein came down from the plane trap with a beautiful smile and bright smile.

Director Kim Wan-jun came down with both hands full of things, looking like someone visiting his hometown for the holidays.

Even though I hadn’t seen them for only a few days, seeing their faces made me feel relieved and feel better. We returned to Shinheung Camp with a happy reunion.

We all gathered in the camp meeting room and talked about work and Korea.

“By the way, Director Wanjun!”

“yes. CEO.”

“We need to start by building a small runway and hangar within Shinheung Camp.”

“yes?”

“It’s not an airplane, it’s a drone hangar. It is 9m long and has 14m wings, but the wings are foldable.”

“Ah, I thought you were talking about building an airfield again. haha.”

“Someday we will have to build an airfield. Even if it’s not here…”

“this!”

– ha ha ha

Everyone gathered was laughing at Director Kim Wan-jun’s resigned exclamation.

“I think you should discuss the drone runway, hangar, and control room specifications with Warrant Officer Seo Ji-seok.”

“yes. All right. And is there anything in particular you would like to add?”

“For noise and safety reasons, it would be better to build the runway at the end of the camp, opposite the residential area, facing the sea.”

Director Kim Wan-jun talked about indoor farming with a smart farm expert he met in Korea.

They said efforts were made to hire the expert, but the decision was delayed due to relocation to the Philippines.

Director Lee Shin-young sold some of his unused assets in Korea. He said the rest are being liquidated and most of the employees involved in asset management are expected to permanently relocate to Tawi-Tawi.

Hyein found her relatives and friends and informed them of her current situation.

People who were worried at first also said that they became envious of Tawi-Tawi’s environment and the worsening weather in Korea.

While they were having fun telling stories, different alarm sounds started ringing on each person’s cell phone.

– Beep, beep, beep / Tiririririk / Ding dong ding dong

The cause of the alarm was to notify RiskScope and breaking news.

[ U.S. participation in the Russian-U.S. war ]

It was tantamount to a declaration of war against Russia.

It was a declaration that if Russia and Belarus did not withdraw their troops outside the former Ukrainian border within 72 hours, the United States would mobilize all its military capabilities to enter the war.

It goes without saying that the United States has already completed the deployment and movement of military resources, including aircraft carriers.

Hye-in and Director Kim Wan-jun were looking at me with dark eyes.

Key figures from Shinheung Camp, including Director Kim Jun-myeong and Warrant Officer Seo Ji-seok, flocked to the conference room in search of me.

Director Kim Wan-jun spoke first.

“CEO! What do you think will happen?”

“Iknow, right ···.”

“Wouldn’t this lead to a nuclear war?”

“Unless they are idiots, I won’t use any means to destroy them all.”

“if ···.”
