Chapter 1479: 1480 The provocation of showing off one’s power
The whole world is using the technology at hand to develop new technologies of their own. Ten years have allowed the indigenous people of this world to understand part of the technology, giving them some of the ability to move forward.
It is nothing more than that they have to conduct countless trials and errors and a series of accumulations before they can finally find a path that seems normal.
The Dashan bomber is a giant bomber that Dorn put together using existing technology: it looks very similar to the Japanese Fujiyama bomber from World War II, with three engines on each wing.
The reason why such a design is adopted is mainly to be able to take the heavy, or bulky, Shenguang missile off the ground. In addition, considering the range and flight time, such a relatively complex design was adopted.
According to past statements, the more precise structures such as engines, the higher the failure rate and the lower the reliability of the equipment.
However, with the advancement of technology, such concerns have gradually disappeared. And it’s obviously unlikely that the plane would fly without so many engines.
In order to meet the fuel consumption of the six engines, a fuel tank is also installed inside the fuselage. Except for the part that is recessed to mount the missile, the location of the original magazine in the fuselage has become a space for holding fuel.
The test flight of this aircraft was relatively bumpy because the grooves under the belly destroyed some of the aerodynamic shape, so the flight performance would change slightly after the bomb was dropped.
What is shocking is that this aircraft is even equipped with a radar, which can take off and land at night, and can even fight in complex weather conditions.
Similar technology came from the civilian airliners exported by the Tang Empire. Dorn dismantled several jet airliners and copied some of the technologies inside.
It’s a pity that the engine was too complex and Dorn’s engineers were unable to copy it in a short time, so they could only use a more mature propeller engine instead.
Of course, it can barely fly, but there is no way to say how good its flight performance is. But because I was in a hurry, these problems were actually bearable.
Dorne, who thought they had many secret weapons, did not put so much energy into the coastal defense line. This is one of the reasons why Dorne I chose to deal with Sun Guang.
Just when Dorne I summoned his ministers in his palace, an air defense siren sounded again in the sky above Neverwinter.
Two Phantom fighter jets appeared in people's sight one after another. This time, the Tang Army did not conduct electromagnetic interference. The two aircraft just broke into Dorne's air defense circle with great force. The air-to-air missiles mounted under their wings were flying. The reflection of the sun exudes an icy cold light.
Yes, they are here to provoke. Every once in a while, the naval aviation of the Tang Empire will provide Dorne with an opportunity for a "fair" duel. However, Dorne has never dared to face the enemy head-on.
But this time, Dorne felt that it was ready. They repaired a relatively hidden field airport a month ago. They thought Tang Jun didn't know, but Tang Jun had already mastered this information through reconnaissance satellites.
This hidden airport is stationed at Dorne's relatively elite aviation force, equipped with 15 F-86 Saber fighter jets and 20 ME-262 fighter-bombers used as attack aircraft.
Now these aircraft do not use their original code names, but only their original names: one is directly called the Saber, and the other is called the Type 262 Fighter. With the air defense siren sounding over Neverwinter, Dorne's pilots finally got the order to attack and quickly ran towards their fighter jets.
The aircraft are hidden in hangars and camouflaged with turf, making them almost impossible to spot from the sky.
It is a pity that when these facilities were still semi-finished, Tang State's reconnaissance satellites had already taken enough pictures and sent them back to Tang State.
Now, the Tang State's intelligence department knows where the oil depot is, where the hangar is, where the control tower is, and how long the runways that are usually covered by camouflage nets are.
Ground staff have already checked the aircraft for the pilots. In fact, because there are not many electronic equipment, the inspection work of these aircraft is indeed not complicated.
The cannons have been adjusted long ago, and the aircraft are in good condition: the Tang army deliberately did not bomb these airports in order to induce Dorne to dispatch aircraft, so that pilots who did not have much actual combat experience could be trained.
Soon, four Saber fighter jets roared out of the runway and began to climb. The roar of jet engines resounded through the airport, followed closely by two Type 262 attack aircraft with radars, which also launched with rockets.
These large-caliber rockets are the only two weapons used by the Type 262 bomber in sea combat. The other is iron bombs without guidance capabilities.
Using rockets, the 262 fighter-bomber can dive and fire from 2 kilometers or even 3 kilometers away, and launch these large-caliber rockets at the target. The probability of such an attack being successful will be higher.
Six planes took off, and Dorne's air force commander nervously stood by the phone, waiting for news from the radar room.
Sun Guang brought experience from the Qin State, and Dorn himself also mastered the working principle of the Tang Army's anti-radiation missiles due to several losses. Therefore, the distance between their radar antenna and radar station, as well as the radar station and headquarters, is very far apart.
Moreover, a large amount of communications are limited to the wired telephone communication range, so as to avoid strengthening radio signals and with a high probability of avoiding anti-radiation missiles launched by the Tang Army.
An air battle was about to break out. Dorne believed that they had seized the opportunity this time and dug a trap for the arrogant Tang army, which finally worked.
After taking off six aircraft, Dorne's commanders immediately ordered the troops stationed at another airport to take off four early-model Sabres. These Sabers did not have all-weather combat capabilities, but they were still a handful in the hands of the Dorne Air Force. Lots of "good planes".
Ten planes fought two enemy planes, Dorn had the numerical advantage. They felt that they should at least achieve some results despite being calculated mentally but not intentionally.
Even at this moment, they began to wonder whether Tang Jun's electromagnetic interference method had failed. From now on, they would no longer be troubled by that **** strong electromagnetic interference environment.
