Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 76 Air Combat in the New Era
However, the accuracy is limited by various factors. The amount of towels invested by both sides is very limited, so the air battle over Fanhu is not as intense as imagined.
Start to fight against Xiaojiu. The US Navy Air Force had to face the serious problems that led to the crushing defeat of the Indian Air Force six years ago.
In a sense, the most injured in the Indian War was the US Navy. The new address of this site has been changed to: 8. Please log in to read!
For the US Navy, it was a helpless and even more of a choice to start the initial project. Although the US Navy's idea was very beautiful, I hope that this fighter that had undertaken too much hope could write a legendary and brilliant experience like the 4 "Ghost" fighter in the 2nd era and became a typical "Navy Fighter", but the actual situation was very different from the expectations of the US Navy, and it failed to become the masterpiece of the US Navy's aviation.
According to the statement made by the U.S. Navy in the report submitted to Congress when applying for procurement funds for this type of fighter jet, the injury is the first sixth-generation fighter jet in the United States and even the Western world, equivalent to the fifth-generation fighter jet of the Republic Air Force. It is the first advanced fighter jet to achieve export performance. It has a high value-to-efficiency ratio and has the ability to replace 3-range distances.
In a sense, milk does have a high efficiency ratio.
According to the reform plan proposed by the US Navy in the early days of the Blade, after the equipment was 4, only two brigades of fighter jets were needed to complete all combat missions that were required by three brigades of fighter jets in the past, and the fleet's air defense strength was increased, the strike capacity was increased, and the logistics support was reduced. This was exactly this. Before the Indian War, the US Navy reduced the size of the air thugs and the number of fighters in an air wing reduced from knife stands to evil stands.
If there was no Indian War, the US Navy would probably have maintained this organizational method to this day.
Shortly after the Indian War started, the US Navy calmly adjusted the organization of the aviation wing, reducing the air wing to the wing, and ensuring that the main wing had three fighter brigades. In other words, the wings that often perform overseas deployment tasks returned to their previous scale.
The War of Earta reveals more than just a matter of quantity.
For the US Navy, the most important thing to solve is its weak air control capabilities.
As a medium-sized multi-purpose fighter, the defects in Yu's design make it difficult to substantially improve its air-control performance. For example, the performance of the Shao turbofan jet engine developed for it is much worse than the center-attracting engine developed for 42. Even if Puhui Company puts a lot of effort into improving, such as using better ceramic turbine blades to increase the temperature before the vortex to hurricane. The higher the temperature before the vortex, the higher the gas utilization efficiency, and the shorter the engine's life. The large number of composite materials and special materials is mainly used to reduce quality. The benefits of reducing the engine are equivalent to reducing the kilogram of fighter jets, using better aviation fuel to improve energy utilization efficiency, and improving work control.
Software and other means. The problem is that as an engine with a thrust-weight ratio on the right spinning, no matter how it is improved, Chen Yi cannot achieve the force level performance. The thrust-weight ratio on the left and right engines are. Due to the limitation of engine performance, the air control performance of the Ma fighter cannot be substantially improved. What's more, due to the limitation of the fuselage, the thrust-weight ratio on the first fighter cannot be used to use other engines when making improvements. The US Air Force proposed to use the yinxu engine instead of the yin to improve the overall performance. Oda also replaced the chub-type use of the chub, and used a brewing engine on the navy. And American aviation companies cannot develop a brand new medium-thrust engine from scratch to meet the needs of the original improvement.
In fact, improvements to 46 are also mainly focused on other aspects.
Before the Indian War ended, the US Navy launched the initial comprehensive improvement plan code-named "Trident" Trident, a weapon of the sea god Posaidong in Greek mythology. According to the performance indicators proposed by the US Navy, when the improvement cost is controlled within the initial unit price gills, the air combat capability will be improved, that is, the improved performance indicators proposed by the Navy will be reached. The air combat capability will reach the level of the heart and become one of the most outstanding air combat fighters.
The reality is that the initial improvement work has not gone smoothly from the beginning.
If the improvement plan is determined completely according to the performance indicators proposed by the US Navy, the improvement plan of the thug must be referenced. That is, on the basis of the initial basis, the body is enlarged and the engine with greater thrust is installed. The oil load and ammunition carrying capacity in the aircraft are increased, thus becoming a real heavy air combat fighter. Mom Yong doubts that if this is changed, it is not as good as developing a ship-based model. According to the quotation given by Boeing, which undertakes the improvement work, it will take about 100 million US dollars to improve the work design stage alone, and an advanced engine with a thrust weight ratio of the force is entitled to "one pass" according to the "one pass for the US arms company, which is responsible for the improvement work.
In general, the final investment is definitely not 400 million US dollars, but 2 to 3 times the number. In other words, even if the improvement costs are not considered, the R&D funds are flat to the US Navy's persuasion of multiple aircraft, which is equivalent to US$300 million per aircraft. Because of its poor performance in the Indian War, milk has no third major customer except for exporting India and Britain. India will definitely not purchase the improved model of 46, even if it will purchase it, the United States will not sell it. The United Kingdom is undergoing a comprehensive adjustment of the military structure and will not rush to purchase new carrier-based fighter jets. In other words, the US Navy has to bear every penny spent on the improvement work alone.
More importantly, this method of improvement allows all the beginnings of the US Navy to be retired, at least not based on the mother's improvements, and must be re-produced. The US Navy purchases at most improved Qin fighters from each air wing, which is used with the mother, significantly reduces the purchase volume and increases the purchase price of a single aircraft in disguise. According to the most optimistic estimate, when only the sturdy rack is purchased, the unit price is likely to exceed the Xinyi USD, that is, the US Air Force's mother fighter jet. This price, not to mention being accepted by the US Navy, cannot be supported by the Congressional Defense Committee, which is responsible for approving the defense procurement budget.
In any case, the U.S. Navy will not accept such improvements.
The problem is that the Navy urgently needs to provide initial performance, especially air combat capabilities.
In the Naval Development Report for the Phenol Fiscal Year, the Pentagon equipment procurement officials quoted the Peninsula War, proving that without sufficiently excellent carrier-based air combat aircraft, the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier battle groups are difficult to confront the Air Force with advanced air fighters, and may even suffer heavy losses if they do not have enough excellent carrier-based air fighters.
Lost. The address of this website has been changed to: Qingbigu, please log in to Fa to read!
Affected by the Indian War, the US Congress specifically approved a equipment budget for naval aviation that year.
It is precisely this that the US Navy divided the Trident project into three stages to implement it.
First of all, by upgrading the initial electronic equipment, airborne weapon systems, etc., without changing the basic mechanism and power system, the air combat capability will be improved and the comprehensive combat capability will be increased by 3 gills. The final result of this project is that the US Navy has equipped each air wing with thugs and brigades of starting fighters.
Secondly, according to Boeing's plan, the starting body was amplified by redesign, so that its air combat capability could be improved and reached the level of smelting. Because the feasibility of the project was not very great, the US Navy only signed an improvement design contract with Boeing and did not decide whether to purchase such fighter jets in large quantities. According to the consistent practice of the US Navy, unless Boeing can reduce the price, the US Navy will not purchase such fighter jets in large quantities, and it is even impossible to purchase such fighter jets.
Finally, we will develop a brand new carrier-based heavy air combat fighter separately. Although the US Navy planned to develop heavy carrier-based air combat fighter after the Indian War, it was the same as the old project of the Republic Air Force. There were too much investment and difficulty in bearing, and so it has not been implemented. In fact, before the past years, the US Navy had no chance to purchase heavy carrier-based air combat fighter jets, so the project was mostly about technical reserves.
Although the US Navy has been struggling with its initial improvement project, it is an amazing achievement to be able to come up with a relatively successful improvement plan in just 6 years and complete the improvement of the Jinjin fighter aircraft, even if it is placed around the world.
In a sense, Shi is definitely a strong opponent of the little thug.
More importantly, there are many reasons for the Indian Air Force's defeat in the Indian War. The poor air control performance of Shi Si was only one of the main reasons, not all. Compared with the Indian Air Force, the US Navy's aviation did not have other problems, that is, the US Navy has a complete combat system, rather than relying on some advanced equipment to make a living.
For the US Navy, the secret thug is also an incompletely improved model, and its performance improvement is very limited. However, as a professional air combat fighter, as the US Air Force vigorously develops 4 and the US Navy has made full efforts to develop, the Republic Air Force is improving 1! The improvement of the Republic Air Force is not only related to the high production costs, but has a lot to do with the Republic Air Force's confidence in this advanced fighter.
In Lei Jingming's words, the concave is enough to support the blue sky barrier of the Republic.
In this air battle, the Republic Air Force put in the good airplane. Xiaobi did not participate in the forward escort combat mission, but stayed behind. To carry out the strike mission, the small brigade's departure began. It was already very good to send half of the airplane fighter jets when it was necessary to ensure the safety of the fleet.
If the conditions are the same, the little thugs' concave machine group will definitely win a great victory.
Unfortunately, at the beginning of the air combat, the Republic Air Force had only two front-line command aircrafts over northwest Iran, so they could only provide limited intelligence support for small old fighters. What's more, the little thug Tian was not equipped with a passive detection system and still used active phased array radar. In contrast, the US Navy dispatched 6 carrier-based early warning aircraft to accompany the start of the aircraft group operation, and the US Air Force also invested 3 large early warning aircraft to provide war zone intelligence for the Ma aircraft group. Although the first did not have a passive detection system, the Yu gained the strength to compete with Xiaoao when he had the advantage of information control.
With the support of the battlefield intelligence system, the US aircraft fleet took the lead in launching an attack.
The problem is that it is still a medium-sized fighter. When performing air combat missions, the female player can only carry up to 6 interception missiles and 2 fighting missiles. Even if the thugs are improved, the power system of the entire aircraft is enhanced when the aircraft is improved, and its missile interception system can intercept 8 targets in an air battle.
Because high-energy pulsed laser cannons are used to replace aviation machine cannons, without considering close combat, the battery equipped with laser cannons can provide electrical energy to the interception system, thereby doubled the interception ability. Even if the use of additional electricity is not considered, in an air battle, if you want to shoot down the thug! Concave, you can shoot down it.
The problem is that the US military has no numerical advantage.
Compared with the injury, it is an old one. It is originally a heavy air combat fighter. When performing air combat missions, you can carry a thug at most. In theory, you can at least attack Ayu, or shoot down Ayu.
Like previous air combat, when the starter group launches missiles, its information advantage no longer exists.
Although the interceptor missiles used by both sides have similar performance, due to the limitation of attack distance, the US military's attack was unable to prevent the small thugs from counterattacking.
Only one round of air combat outside the visual range was held. After the US Navy paid the price of the thug Tian, air combat entered the pilot's visual range. In fact, with the emergence of airborne missile interception systems, the proportion of air combat within the visual range became heavier. According to the prediction of the Republic Air Force, by Tiannian, the proportion of outer air combat in the visual range would drop below Macao, and most of the air combat that determines the victory and loss will be carried out within the visual range.
When entering the visual range, the disadvantages of the initiator group are even more prominent.
As the first fighter equipped with high-energy pulsed laser cannons, the little thug often does not carry combat missiles when performing air control missions. After all, combat missiles will also be intercepted. In fact, during the Indian War, the fighter pilots of the Republic Air Force summarized a very important experience, that is, the air cannons equipped with Indian fighters are more threatening than missiles, and in air combat, it is necessary to avoid entering the fire boundary of the opponent's machine guns.
Mu Yong doubted that the Republic's Air Force vigorously developed pulse-stimulating and cannons, which was aimed at the development trend of air combat.
Compared with the fact, the initial direct firepower is much worse. Its 6-barrel "Vulcan" machine gun has been in service with the US military for many years. Although the maximum fire rate in air is at the gate of the air, it can spray shells in just a short time to form an extremely dense rain of bullets, the power of the millimeter shells is not very powerful, and the flight speed of the shells is not fast. As the fighter's speed is getting faster and faster and more agile, the machine guns will sooner or later be replaced by high-energy pulse laser cannons, electromagnetic machine cannons, particle beam cannons and other energy weapons.
The fighting and air battle took less than a minute. The address of this site has been changed to: Defense 8, please log in to read!
At the end of the air battle at 8 points, only 8 "Zhi Yu and Ji Shi escaped from the battlefield. The winner said that Xiao Wu was injured by the machine artillery. And seven of the shot down Yan Jiafeng were shot down by the machine artillery. According to the combat situation announced by the Republic Air Force several hours later, among the results obtained, only the Hongjia enemy aircraft were shot down by the missiles, and the Wujia was shot down by the intercepted missiles. In addition, the results of the flight were obtained by the high-energy pulse laser cannon equipped by Xiaohao.
Compared with the significance of this air battle itself, perhaps the performance of high-energy pulsed laser cannon is more valuable
.
Anyway, this is an epoch-making air battle!
