1794 Bringing greetings from His Majesty the Emperor
The Tang Empire has recently been piling up some new technologies. Obviously, for an empire that is at war with multiple countries, a Ares strategic bomber cannot meet their needs for strategic bombing.
After all, the God of War is too small, and its range is too short. To a certain extent, it can only barely reach the passing line of a strategic bomber, and most performance indicators may not necessarily pass.
Even in the world that Tang Mo is familiar with, China has modified the God of War bomber to a completely different internal state. It is also slightly outdated in many aspects, so that most Chinese military fans are looking forward to the "water"
arrival.
Tang Mo was unwilling to use an ultra-long-range stealth bomber to torture his opponent, so that his opponent would not have the fear of being beaten.
Therefore, he hopes that his new strategic bomber will be so powerful that his opponents can watch him being attacked, but they can do nothing.
Finally, under his guidance, his engineers came up with the Tang Empire version of the Tu-160 bomber, which was also named White Swan.
This new type of strategic bomber still has a terrifying range of more than 16,000 kilometers when carrying 9 tons of bombs, which can support it from taking off from the airport in Chu State across the endless sea.
In order to allow its bombers to return home after completing their missions, the Tang Empire also developed its already quite mature aerial refueling technology and prepared to use aerial refueling to support these Tu-160s in their transoceanic bombing missions.
No one would have thought that in order to target distant opponents, the Tang Empire would produce such a terrifying giant bomber, and in order to extend the combat radius of this aircraft, it would also use continuous refueling to ensure that it would stay in the outer sea airspace near the west coast of Dorne.
, hovering a fleet of aerial tankers.
In the slightly bumpy cabin of a Tu-160 strategic bomber, during the execution of a mission, the pilot felt the need to temporarily leave the driver's seat and go to the onboard restroom to address his personal physiological needs.
Under the premise of ensuring the safety of the flight, he signaled to the co-pilot or flight commander that he needed to leave his seat temporarily. After receiving permission, he unbuckled his seat belt, stood up slowly, and walked along the narrow and orderly corridor in the cabin.
Passage, walking steadily towards the simple restroom located behind the cockpit.
Yes, this huge, super-large strategic bomber with variable sweep wings has a small toilet inside. Although it is simple, it is very practical.
During this process, as the captain, he always paid attention to the flight status and kept in touch with other crew members through the communication device in the headset to ensure that leaving his seat would not have any adverse impact on the flight mission. At the same time, he
He also knows the location and layout of the bathroom well and can find his destination quickly and accurately.
After entering the restroom, the driver quickly and efficiently solved his personal problems and carefully checked whether the various facilities in the restroom were in good condition to ensure that they could function properly when needed. After a series of tedious operations, he walked back to his own
cockpit and regained control of the aircraft.
"We are about to enter the scheduled second refueling airspace. Everything is going well so far." The co-pilot said with a yawn when he saw his captain coming back.
Although it uses the design of the Tu-160 bomber, this bomber is much more advanced than the Tu-160 bomber that Mao Xiong just put into service. The aircraft has mature navigation equipment, advanced screen displays, and a more complete autopilot system.
Because it has to carry out ultra-long-distance bombing missions, most of the positions in its two terrifying giant bomb bays are still empty. If it can be hung with full bombs, it can carry more than 170 aerial bombs at a time, giving the enemy a real bomb.
A rainstorm of bombs.
"It's been a long journey." The captain yawned as he was being taken away, rubbed his sore eyes, and carefully checked the status of all the instruments and computers on the plane.
"Isn't it? But it is meaningful to be able to carry out this mission." The co-pilot, a relatively young pilot, said. This flight is the first strategic bombing mission across the endless sea in the history of the world.
Moreover, their bombing target is very meaningful. It is a primitive deep forest in Dorne. I heard that there is a factory there that specializes in manufacturing the banned drug Black Crow. It is very large.
"There are still ten minutes left to enter the final refueling airspace!" After chatting for a while, the captain informed all members of the situation: "Everything is normal on the aircraft. The fuel is 7% more than expected. Soon we will have to fight with the Navy.
Let’s meet on the plane.”
Covering their entry into Dorne's airspace were two Navy Prowler electronic warfare aircraft. They wanted to suppress some of Dorne's radars and protect the White Swan from entering Dorne's airspace as deeply as possible.
The Prowler that took off from the aircraft carrier cannot enter the interior of Dorne with the White Swans, so the next thing will depend on the White Swans themselves.
They will climb to an altitude of 20,000 meters and then accelerate to exceed the speed of sound. Such high altitude and high speed will allow them to easily get rid of all Dorn's aircraft and safely reach the attack airspace.
But now, they have to descend to normal altitude, then dock with the tanker to complete the aerial refueling during the final attack.
This time, aerial refueling allows them to restore the internal fuel load, easily go to the target location, drop the incendiary bombs they carry, and then calmly return to a safe maritime supply point, and accept aerial refueling again to ensure that they have sufficient fuel for their return.
"Welcome the lost lambs!" The voice of the air tanker sounded in the earphones. They had taken off from Shu at an earlier time and crossed a long route. They also went through two rounds of air refueling before arriving here.
The entire operation was very complex. In order to ensure the bombers' fuel use, the Tang Empire used a total of 41 aerial tankers, leaving a considerable margin.
"It's been a hard journey! The Navy will protect you." Another voice sounded, which was an early warning aircraft deployed by the Navy nearby to keep watch. The commander's voice was very excited. This was also the first time he had seen such a huge bomber of his own side.
As a new weapon, many of the Tang Army's own troops were unaware of the existence of the White Swan. It is so elegant, its lines are so graceful, and every detail on its body demonstrates the power of the perfect war machine.
"Thank you for your support! We will bring His Majesty the Emperor's greetings to Dorne!" The pilot driving the White Swan pressed the intercom and said with a smile to the radio: "Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
