Chapter 1,282: The propeller fell off while it was driving?
In the sky, two jet-black flying-wing bombers were flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters. They crossed the ocean and performed mid-air refueling. The pilots were a little tired at this time, but they thought that after completing this mission, there would be a
Even if the vacation is long enough, they still have to cheer up.
However, thinking about the target they were going to bomb next, there was nothing to worry about.
"There won't be any defense over there. After all, we are flying the most advanced bomber in the world!" Pilot George said to the bombardier next to him while chewing high-energy food.
"No, I don't think so." Bombardier Michael looked a little nervous: "I think you probably don't know how miserable they are. So many people are dead, and you don't know who did it."
"Yes, this is the advantage of the stealth machine." George said, "So, what are you worried about?"
George's face was still very nervous: "I don't know why, but I always have an ominous premonition."
"Relax, you just need to operate the device in front of you, just like playing a computer game, and it will be over soon."
"It would be great if it was really about playing computer games. Have you heard of it? The next-generation fighters of the Orientals have completely canceled the cockpit and are completely driverless."
"How is that possible? On the battlefield, aircraft are easily affected by electromagnetic interference. If you want to fly remotely from behind, you will face the risk of losing contact at any time."
"It's not remote control, it's intelligent driving. The plane can fly by itself on the battlefield. Eastern technology is very advanced, even crazy. Think about it, a machine can decide whether to kill someone on its own!"
Regarding whether a drone is remotely controlled or intelligently driven, this is not only technical, but also ethical. Think about how terrifying a flying machine can be if it has autonomous consciousness!
"Yes, what you said is indeed a big trouble, but who can stop this from happening?" George said: "Apart from complaining a few words in public, they can't do anything else!
"
George was also helpless about this.
"Okay, we are about to reach the target. Get ready to drop all the bombs we carry!"
At this time, another bomber flying with them had already flown deeper inland, where there was a suspected stealth aircraft base they had detected. If the stealth aircraft could be successfully blown up, the navy's next retaliatory action would be
Much easier.
Under the belly of the aircraft, the bomb bay door was opened, and bombs continued to fall from the rotating pylon.
If it is an ordinary bomber, it will usually be equipped with cruise missiles. After all, it is too dangerous to fly over the target, but for stealth bombers, they can enter the airspace of any country at will without worrying about being attacked.
It's impossible to detect, so how can we attack?
Therefore, they can fly over the target and drop various precision-guided bombs. Not only are they cheaper than cruise missiles, they also have high-precision advantages that cruise missiles do not have. For example, they can accurately drop bombs along vents into underground fortifications.
go.
This time, we must blow up the colonel!
The bomb tilted down, but at this moment, the airborne radar warning receiver suddenly sounded.
What's going on? Is it a false alarm?
George subconsciously wanted to turn off the damn alarm, which almost scared him!
"Oh, Shangdi, they must have discovered us, hurry up, hide away!" Michael exclaimed.
"Don't worry, they can't see us at all, so how could they attack us? Our aircraft cannot perform high-G maneuvers. This is not a fighter jet."
An aircraft with a flying wing layout cannot be operated by humans at all. Only digital fly-by-wire flight control can make it fly smoothly. As for flying various stunts? That is really not what the flying wing layout is capable of.
Sure enough, the next moment, the sound of the airborne radar warning receiver disappeared.
"Did you see it? I just said it was a false alarm. When I get back, I'll ask the technicians to find out what's going on..."
Before he finished speaking, a ray of fire flew past the bomber, almost grazing them!
In the darkness, the thing was very clear. You could see that it had a tail fin. It was... a missile, an air-to-air missile!
"Oh, damn, it just almost hit us. It must have been locked when we opened the bomb hatch door. It was right behind us!" Michael exclaimed.
"Shut up, I know!" George said as he pushed the operating lever and turned at a large angle, hoping to avoid the pursuit from the rear and take the opportunity to escape.
rear.
Mahmoud gritted his teeth: "Damn it, the missile is out of lock. I have known for a long time that radar-guided air-to-air missiles cannot be launched against stealth aircraft!"
Mahmoud was very excited after discovering the target with an infrared imaging device. However, the infrared imaging device could only see where the target was, but could not obtain specific data. To lock on to the target, the radar had to be turned on.
At the moment when the stealth bomber dropped the bomb, Mahmoud's radar successfully locked the target and then launched the missile. Unexpectedly, after the opponent closed the radar door, the missile lost its target.
Naturally, they don't know that this is all the fault of the castrated fighter plane.
Now, the latest airborne radar is an active phased array radar, which can focus the radar beam to a point. As long as it keeps an eye on the stealth aircraft, it can still fire and attack.
However, this kind of advanced airborne radar cannot be exported casually. Of course, the one prepared for the colonel is an ordinary flat-panel gap radar. Although the performance of this kind of radar is also very strong, it still has big flaws in combating stealth aircraft.
.
Therefore, when the stealth bomber closed its bomb bay, the launched missile had no choice but to escape and flew past.
"Switch to cannon mode!" Fatih shouted loudly.
Although there are also infrared air-to-air missiles, because they are mounted in the bomb bay inside the stealth aircraft, they cannot lock the target in advance. They usually use the method of launching first and then locking.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is no problem against ordinary aircraft, but it may not work against stealth aircraft!
Stealth aircraft not only need radar stealth, but also infrared stealth. For bombers, even the tail nozzle must be cooled by air before being emitted. Although it will reduce thrust, it can also reduce infrared signature.
Of course, the infrared characteristics caused by friction with air during flight cannot be concealed.
The sophisticated infrared imaging device on the J-31A can capture it, but the missile seeker may not.
Since air-to-air missiles may not be effective, then just use machine guns to blast them!
"Understood!" Mahmoud shouted: "Hello, switch to cannon mode!"
In complex air battles, voice commands are much easier than flipping switches. If it were not for voice, Mahmoud would not be able to seize the opportunity at this time.
Because at the same time as he was shouting, he had already seen the black figure turning rapidly and approaching the distance quickly. It was a good opportunity for him to attack!
The gun hotline appeared on the helmet-mounted display. Mahmoud lassoed the target and pressed the button on the control column.
Boom boom!
Fiery flames came out of the machine gun muzzle, so clear in the dark night sky.
At this time, George and Michael, who had just turned around, were stunned.
Damn, this is hitting someone's gun! Looking at the blazing flames, their minds went blank for an instant.
The tracer bullets drew bright lines in the sky, and then began to sweep through the air, then hit the large bomber with a flying wing layout.
Boom, boom boom boom!
At this time, the bomb it dropped had just landed, making a violent explosion and lighting up the dark night sky. The flying-wing stealth bomber fell downwards like a kite with a broken string.
Two flames burst out from the cockpit of the stealth bomber. The two crew members ejected one after another to escape. However, looking at the ground illuminated by the explosion flames, they knew that even if they landed alive, it would be nothing.
Good ending.
On the ground, the colonel clenched his fists. He recalled the Golden Canyon operation more than 20 years ago, which almost killed him. This time, if he had not received the call in advance, he might not have been able to escape his fate.
Times have changed, and he is no longer afraid, because he has stronger backing behind him!
Humph, wait until we get those two aircraft carriers and see who can still bully us!
"Report, shot down a stealth bomber."
"Okay, that's great. We must find the wreckage and the pilot who parachuted!" the colonel said excitedly.
"Our J-31A fighter base was also blown up, and all the hangars were blown down. If the planes had not been flown out in time..."
"Hmph, even if they use stealth machines, they can't defeat us because we have more advanced technology!" The colonel was full of confidence at this moment.
East.
"They have regressed this time. Twenty years ago, when they played Operation Golden Canyon, they were still very particular about electronic warfare interference and precision bombing by other aircraft. This time they did not cooperate at all. Just two bombers flew.
In the past, they thought the colonel was too simple!"
Xu Zhengyang looked at Qin Tao with a complicated expression. This is not because he thinks the colonel is too simple, but because he thinks you are too simple. If they knew that someone had tipped off the information, they would not dare to come over so arrogantly.
However, the most important thing is that they don't know that the East already has advanced anti-stealth technology!
Where there is a spear, there is a shield. Over the years, stealth machines have proliferated more and more. Correspondingly, anti-stealth technology has also continued to develop. However, no one knows what is the best anti-stealth technology route.
The commonly used method in the West is active phased array radar, which detects targets with low enough RCS values by converging more electromagnetic waves onto the target.
There are also passive radars in the West. They do not emit radar themselves, but in a fixed space. The electromagnetic waves are already evenly distributed. When the stealth aircraft flies over, it will affect the electromagnetic field distribution in this part of the space, thereby finding the target.
However, these methods are not the best.
The best way is meter wave radar!
It is impossible for a stealth aircraft to be stealthy in the whole frequency band. It can only be improved in the millimeter wave and centimeter wave bands. In the eyes of meter-wave radar, the twists and turns of the stealth aircraft have no meaning, because the wavelength of meter-wave radar is shorter than its wavelength.
long!
Anyway, all you see is a dot.
Over the years, with the development of technology, Western developed countries have long eliminated meter-wave radar because its accuracy is so poor that it is like a cataract. Everything is blurred. Only the East is constantly developing and improving.
, even if it is on the 055, there are no clothes racks and fly swatters, and it has been improved to a phased array, there is still a meter-wave radar!
After all, meter-wave radar is a powerful anti-stealth weapon!
"Mr. Qin, the situation over there is getting more and more complicated. In what direction will it develop next?" Xu Zhengyang asked.
"With the colonel's personality, of course he has to publicly announce that he has shot down the stealth bomber and feel proud. Then the enemy will definitely be angry, but... they will also throw in the towel, and they will probably continue to incite the British to kill them."
"Yes, the aircraft carrier Queen has entered the Mediterranean. The next development of the situation..."
The Type 45 destroyer is still swaying on the sea, but the sailors on it are exhausted.
These days, they have been experiencing power outages, restarts, and power outages almost every day. Fortunately, they have found a pattern. At night, when the outside temperature is below 25 degrees, the power supply to their warships is normal.
Therefore, they could sleep well at night and charge their flashlights. During the day, they began to torture with the power supply. In this torture, time slowly passed, and finally waited until the Queen-class aircraft carrier and other warships converged
.
On the bridge, Captain Nit Cook looked at the sea in the distance with deep eyes. Although DDG-1000 was nearby, he did not feel at ease.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He knows how weak his aircraft carrier is, but he has no choice. It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Since the order has been issued from above,
Then he must carry out the order, not only him, but also the thousands of sailors under him.
"Mr. Captain, don't be so pessimistic." At this moment, Steve, the assistant sent by the United States, said: "Last time they succeeded, it was just because they used cluster bombs, and on the Queen aircraft carrier, like this
What happened will never happen again, because we will never put any carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier deck!"
Anyway, the Queen's aircraft carrier can not carry many carrier-based aircraft, so we simply put them in the hangar. When needed, they can be lifted directly from the hangar to the deck, thus completely avoiding the last problem.
If the carrier-based aircraft had not been ignited on the deck, the last tragedy would not have happened. It would have been impossible to bomb the aircraft carrier with cluster bombs. In addition to cluster bombs, what other weapons could the opponent have? Is it possible to hack them out?
Ground bomb?
There's no other possibility! So, as long as they avoid setting the deck on fire, they won't have much of a problem.
Steve is not worried, but how could Nit Cook not be worried? Their aircraft carrier does not even have a reliable close-in defense system!
These two aircraft carriers are the last pride of the British Navy. They spent huge sums of money to build these two aircraft carriers, but they were unable to maintain two aircraft carrier formations. They could not even gather the escort warships!
If such a fleet passes by, it will only kill people!
"We have evaluated it, and currently, your Queen-class aircraft carrier is the most suitable to be the flagship of the European fleet." Steve said: "When this mission is completed, the Queen-class aircraft carrier will be awarded the title of flagship.
, even the French fleet must obey your command."
After hearing Steve's words, Nit Cook felt a little more balanced.
The Nimitz class is not deployed in Europe, and the European fleets have to find their own warships to serve as flagships. Admiral Ji Ziliba, only their Queen-class aircraft carrier is the most advanced, and the French Charles de Gaulle is no longer enough.
.
Thinking that they could show off in front of the French, Nitkouk felt a little more relaxed.
Suddenly, the aircraft carrier shook violently, then its speed dropped sharply and its course began to deviate.
"Damn, what's going on?" Nit Cook subconsciously thought it was hit by a torpedo or missile. How did the aircraft carrier become like this?
"Report, engine room report!" A panicked voice came: "The speed of the right drive motor suddenly surged!"
The propulsion motor rotates according to a predetermined speed. It is impossible for the speed to increase suddenly. Moreover, the speed surges, and the propulsion on both sides of the aircraft carrier is unbalanced. It should be yawing to the left, but now it is yawing to the right!
If there is a problem, there must be a problem!
Nitcook immediately issued an order: "The drive motors on both sides have stopped, please check carefully!"
"Deck report, no water flow found on the right stern!"
Except for super aircraft carriers that use four propellers, ordinary warships have a dual-shaft structure, and the Queen-class aircraft carrier is no exception. It uses a dual-shaft dual 5-blade large inclined propeller propulsion device, which requires 40 megawatts on each axis.
Because the propulsion motor cannot be made that large, two 20-megawatt propulsion motors are used in series.
Normally, only one is used when sailing at low speed, and two driving motors push together at high speed.
This propulsion system also has constant failures, such as frequent water leaks. However, even if there is water leakage, it cannot cause the water flow stirred by the propeller at the right tail. The propeller is not moving, but the motor speed is still soaring?
Wait! Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Nite Cook suddenly felt his blood pressure soaring!
Did the propeller fall off?
Because there is no propeller, there is no resistance, so the speed of the motor soars, and there is no water flow at the tail. Without the propeller, where does the water flow come from?
"Quick, send someone to the rear immediately to check and see if our propeller is still there!"
A few minutes later, news came that devastated Nitkouk.
"Report, the right propeller is missing!"
Sure enough, as expected, this aircraft carrier is lame! Only the propeller on the left side is left, can it still fight? Needless to say, it will be good to drive back normally!
The Type 45 frequently loses its brakes, and the Queen loses its propeller! Does the British Empire still have any face?
