The other world is also a planet, and many of its places are very similar to the earth before Tang Mo traveled through it. Therefore, starting from the principle, the principle of standing high and seeing far is also universal in this other world.
Therefore, the radar needs to be mounted on the mast, so that the detection range can be increased. However, no matter how it is increased, the height of the mast is limited.
The same is true on the ground. Although you can choose a higher place to set up a radar station, the blind spot formed by the terrain cannot be changed.
In this case, letting airplanes carry high-power radars flying in the sky has become a very good solution: installing a radar at an altitude of eight thousand meters is exciting to think about!
However, this design needs to solve several problems, which are nothing to Tang Mo, but are as difficult as the sky for other countries.
First of all, the radar of the early warning aircraft requires very large power, which requires the aircraft to be able to provide enough power. How to perfectly solve the power supply on the aircraft is actually very challenging.
Secondly, the filtering ability of the radar itself is also very important. It is fine when at sea, but if it is close to land, ground clutter is actually very easy to interfere with radar detection.
Finally, it is necessary to ensure the detection range of the radar and pursue as much power as possible in the smallest possible volume, which is also a considerable challenge for the integration of equipment.
After integrating these details, if you want to have an early warning aircraft that can participate in actual combat, you must pile up enough communication equipment and command equipment in the small aircraft space, and train personnel who can use these equipment to complete dispatching.
It can be said that under normal circumstances, small countries cannot understand how to play an early warning aircraft even if they get one. Even a moderately powerful country has no way to truly control a high-performance early warning aircraft.
The reason why the Datang Empire was able to deploy the Hawkeye early warning aircraft on the aircraft carrier was actually because there was less clutter at sea, and the Datang Empire's electronic technology development level also met the basic conditions.
After taking out the early warning aircraft, the strike capabilities of naval fighters and attack aircraft were immediately increased several times. This thing is an amplifier of existing weapons, allowing the carrier-based aircraft of the Datang Empire Navy to exert their strongest performance.
…
In the Lines Empire, near a coastline south of Bunas, export-type Stuka bombers were practicing flying close to the sea.
This is a new project established in the past two months, because theoretically such flying can shorten the detection distance of enemy radar to aircraft.
Because the speed of the Stuka dive bomber is not very fast, it is not difficult for this aircraft to fly close to the sea.
But with so many aircraft flying so low in formation, it still looks very spectacular. Each Stuka has a torpedo hanging on it, and these torpedoes are also completely imitation torpedoes imported from the Datang Group.
There is no way, I don’t want to use imported original products when training, so I can only replace them with my own imitations first.
In actual combat, of course, we are prepared to directly use the original torpedoes of the Tang Empire, so as to ensure that the target is sunk.
"Perhaps people from the Tang Empire would not have guessed that the torpedoes they sold would eventually be used to deal with their own warships." On the shore, a navy general from the Lines Empire looked at his fleet with pride.
I feel like I am invincible.
In fact, not only him, but also Navy Commander-in-Chief Bloemeyer also felt that as long as it was operated properly, the Navy of the Lines Empire could achieve some results in sneak attacks.
Otherwise, he would not have proposed such a plan at the meeting. In fact, judging from the technical level of the Lions Empire, the sneak attack actually has a high probability of success.
"The experiment to test the aerial bomb has been successfully completed. The 500 kilogram aerial bomb carried on the Stuka can easily penetrate the 100 mm thick armor steel plate!" An officer next to him smiled, as if they had won the victory.
"As long as the first batch of attacks can paralyze the airport, victory will already belong to us." The naval general who visited this training nodded with satisfaction, obviously more confident than before.
The Stuka is qualified as a dive bomber. It can carry a 500 kilogram aerial bomb. An aerial bomb of this level is also a huge threat to battleships. However, in terms of horizontal torpedo attacks, the Stuka, which is improvised, is actually
Performance is not excellent.
"In fact, the difficulty of the entire offensive plan is how to ensure that our fleet can approach Dragon Island without being discovered..." A young officer put forward his own opinion: "From the intelligence they sold, it is certain that the Tang Empire
There is an ultra-long-range investigation method that we don’t know about.”
The Tang Empire had previously sold satellite photos to countries all over the world. This information was very valuable and provided each empire with more accurate maps and surveying.
This also allowed countries around the world to affirm one thing, that is, the Tang Empire had a pair of "eyes in the sky" that they could not see, a pair of terrifying eyes that could overlook the earth.
Since nothing can be hidden from the sight of the Tang Empire, wouldn't a sneak attack be a farce? Once the other party discovers traces of your fleet, wouldn't the attack become a trap?
"I don't think their photos are real-time. We have checked some of the photos and compared the construction progress. It is generally two to three weeks longer than our actual construction progress." Another officer put forward his own opinion.
Different views.
"That's probably because the Tang Empire deliberately provided relatively late photos in order to confuse us!" the young officer immediately questioned. He was not optimistic about the sneak attack plan from the beginning. This was just an instinctive reaction.
In fact, he once went to the military academy of the Tang Empire to study abroad, which is why he became an important military staff officer of the navy at a young age.
In his opinion, such a huge and complicated plan should not be implemented even if it is just worried about the all-pervasive spies of the Tang Empire.
Just kidding, a whole huge fleet was refueled and assembled in the port, and then sailed out... As long as one spy from the Tang Empire gave out correct information, the sneak attack would be almost impossible to succeed.
Unfortunately, his correct judgment as a staff officer, in the eyes of other generals of the Lions Imperial Navy, was simply a sign of timidity and being frightened out of courage by the Tang Empire.
And these staff officers, who had studied abroad in the Tang Empire and learned more knowledge and techniques about naval warfare, could not be reused for the same reason and could not control the say in the navy at all.
