Chapter 178: Greed can't chew too much
"Little Five...... What can we do with such an advanced long-range strategic bomber? Do you want to bomb Moscow! With the air defense of the USSR, flying out will definitely not come back. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info weapons have a cost to use, such an expensive aircraft is used for a one-time bombing mission, I think it is better to use ballistic missiles more cost-effective, at least we have a Dongfeng missile cost no more than a million, whether it hits the target or not, it is very cost-effective in terms of cost, at least there is no need to worry about the life and death of the pilot. The eldest brother boldly climbed into the Valkyrie's air intake, and the two stood directly inside and whispered to discuss.
"Who said that we must bomb Moscow with war bombardment, the Americans can't do this, unless they use armed spacecraft to drop solid bombs on the ground in space and smash Moscow to pieces like meteors. This Valkyrie has a lot of roles in our hands, the most important thing is that it can carry long-range anti-ship missiles to break through the defensive circle of the US imperialist aircraft carrier at high speed, give the aircraft carrier a fatal blow, and with the Valkyrie's ultra-hypersonic flight ability of more than half an hour, it can quickly get rid of the interception of F14 and F18, these two carrier-based fighters can't catch up even if they burn the chrysanthemum. The missiles used by the US imperialist carrier-based fighters are nothing more than the AIM-7 Sparrow air-to-air missile and the AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile, which have a top speed of 2.5 times the speed of sound, and can only fly for a maximum of 20 kilometers, which is no threat to the Valkyrie. Chen Xu glanced at William Dunn, who was explaining the Valkyrie's performance indicators to others under the plane, and lowered his voice to explain to his eldest brother.
Standing in the air bases of the Americans, standing in the bombers of the US imperialists, discussing how to attack the US aircraft carrier fleet, this kind of opportunity is not available to everyone.
If China wants to build an aircraft carrier, it will take no less than 20 years from the formation of a powerful aircraft carrier fleet to the formation of combat effectiveness, and during this blank period, China needs a weapon to suppress the US imperialist aircraft carrier fleet, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is precisely because they were unable to produce a suitable war bombardment for a while that they finally came up with a way to use land-based strategic missiles to attack aircraft carriers, and finally they had a powerful means of countering the US imperialists' aircraft carrier fleet.
But the technology of hitting aircraft carriers with missiles is too sci-fi, even Chen Xu only knows half of it, and it is the top missile technology of the flower planter, which is the highest level of military secrets of the country. Even an agent of Chen Xu's level is not qualified to see it, and it is impossible for him to steal it, so this advanced technology can only be developed again after a few decades.
If the Valkyrie can be welcomed back to China, the Hua family will have a weapon to counter the aircraft carrier in the short term. Of course, Chen Xu will not admit that the purpose of his introduction of this type of bomber is to hit aircraft carriers, and he will explain that it is used to bomb military targets in the Far East, especially strategic targets such as airports, radars, and power plants.
Of course, both the Valkyrie and the B-1A strategic bombers are the products of the era of high-altitude and high-speed penetration, and with the enhancement of the air defense forces of various countries, especially after the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane was shot down, it is not necessarily safe for the aircraft to fly high, or it is difficult to break through the Soviet air defense network. There was no need for a war bomber that could not break through the Soviet defenses, and it was under this premise that the two bombers were dismounted one after another.
After the sixties, the US imperialist air force launched the "subsonic bomber" program, which became a very effective and feasible way to evade radar reconnaissance and break through the enemy's defense network with ultra-low-altitude and high-speed cruises.
The reason why Chen Xu covets Valkyrie and B-1A is because, in his opinion, the two types of war bombardment are upgraded technically, equipped with terrain tracking radars, piloted by computers under complex terrain conditions, and automatically controlled the height to avoid obstacles with the ups and downs of the terrain, which can ensure that the aircraft can achieve ultra-low-altitude penetration at an altitude of fifty or sixty meters. This is almost flying close to the ground, it is impossible to rely on the pilot to operate, and if there is no strong computer calculation and high maneuverability, a slight shake of the control stick may cause a crash.
However, to develop a supersonic bomber that can automatically penetrate the defense at ultra-low altitude, the technical difficulty is similar to that of Zenith technology, and this kind of bomber is almost impossible to defend, because this kind of ground flight radar cannot detect it at all, and the aircraft is equivalent to stealth under the cover of the earth.
If the flower growers can come up with autopilot technology and accurate terrain tracking radar, even the Valkyrie can have ultra-low-altitude penetration capabilities, and break through the Soviet Union's defense and control network with 3 times the speed of sound on the ground, which is simply an artifact that cannot be defended.
Even the vibrations of the Valkyrie's six engines were enough to destroy all the glass in a city, and if you flew directly overhead, people's ears would be shocked by the noise.
As long as the Valkyrie's speed is fast enough and high enough, it will be given the ability to fly and maneuver at low altitude at supersonic speed. The Valkyrie is still very useful, and it is not impossible to quietly fly to Moscow to bomb it.
On the one hand, Chen Xu has the technology of V22 Osprey in his hand, and on the other hand, the US imperialists also need to plant flowers as pawns against the Soviet Union.
For the Americans, as long as the flower planters are willing to engage in a head-to-head confrontation with the Soviet Union and attract the full combat power of the Soviet army in the Pacific, then it is worth investing as much as possible.
Weapons can be upgraded and replaced, and investing some high-tech weapons in China can consume a lot of financial and material resources of the Soviet Union, until it is dragged down, and such a business is a big profit no matter how it is calculated. Once the Soviet Union falls, there will be no country on earth that can compete with the US military, and the world's resources will be plundered by it.
Chen Xu pinched the psychology of the US imperialists who wanted to become the world hegemon, and constantly sought military technology and financial support, and the US imperialism seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit, and if they did not want the previous investment to be wasted, they had to continue to increase investment to satisfy the growing greedy appetite of the Chinese family.
Chen Xu has always believed that stealth technology is a combat system created by the Americans for aggression, and this technology will eventually enter a dead end, and the stealth technology tree is a dwarf that does not grow tall, which will not contribute to the development of aviation technology in the future, and the stealth bomber that has been spent so much money will eventually be no match for the progress of radar technology.
Chen Xu believes that the orthodox science and technology tree of aviation technology is high-altitude, high-speed, and high-mobility! Climb along this tree, and sooner or later, you will be able to break through the barrier of the atmosphere and enter the starry sky of the universe.
And stealth technology is just a minutiae, no matter how you look at it in space, it is useless technology, and its thick coating of stealth material will even become a burden.
China is not an aggressive country, so it will not develop high-tech weapons specifically designed to attack other countries, and these things are useless except for taking up a lot of R&D funds and research forces.
If you want to fight a world war, a few dozen nuclear bombs can solve all problems, and in the end everyone returns to the era of horseback riding and slashing farming. The stealth bombers of the US imperialism who did not fight the world war did not dare to come to the flower house to make trouble, so it seems that there is really no need for stealth planes to exist.
If the US imperialists insist on developing their stealth bombers, then the Chinese nation will work radar technology. Radar detection technology is much more useful than stealth technology, even in space to detect meteorites or something.
Chen Xu and the eldest brother discussed in a low voice for a while, after listening to Chen Xu's opinion, Chen Weiguo also realized that this Valkyrie is indeed a good thing, although the technology of the sixties, but now it is not lagging behind at all, especially after the avionics, radar, fire control, engine technology upgrades, and weight reduction of fuselage materials, the performance of the aircraft will be qualitatively improved, no matter how you look at it, it looks like an aircraft specially tailored for flower growers.
"Xiao Wu, let me tell you, although I haven't seen the real thing about that B-1A bomber, I heard you say that its function is roughly the same as that of the Valkyrie, and it is not good for our army to introduce it at the same time. There are two different types of bombardment, two different sets of logistics systems, and even the pilots have to be trained separately, which puts a lot of pressure on the logistics of the Air Force. What's more, the research and development funds required to study these two bombers will also be doubled, and the state budget cannot afford this waste. Why don't we just ask this Valkyrie, spend all the money on this war bombardment, focus on its technology, and develop Mach 5 and Mach 6 bombers on its basis in the future. Aircraft that reach this speed, Lao Maozi and Lao Mei's air defense system is paper paste, let's break it as soon as we stab it! The eldest brother, after weighing the pros and cons, gave his opinion. He advised Chen Xu not to empathize with the Valkyrie, and it would be cool enough to love one well!
"The B-1A is very advanced, if we can introduce it, let's not let it go!" Chen Xu is a little reluctant, he is a greedy person, he wants all good things when he sees them, and whether it is suitable for the national conditions or not, he will take them back first.
"Are you stupid? These two strategic bombers are duplicated in performance indicators, and you let the Air Force use these two aircraft with the same combat effect, this is not a fool whatever! You can use the B-1A to exchange it for other things we need more, even if there is nothing to choose from, it would be good to exchange it for money! "The eldest brother is surprisingly calm this time, he knows very well that strategic bombers are not much more expensive, one Valkyrie with one hundred is better than the other hundred war bombers that are easy to shoot down, and no matter how many bombers fail to complete the target, it will be in vain.
"So be it! I also offered for Valkyrie and B-1A technology, and if both of the Yankees were willing to give it to them, it would be fine, and if they were not willing to give us the B-1A, I would use this as a bargain with the Americans. In his heart, Chen Xu also knew that the eldest brother's opinion was correct, the two war bombardments would indeed cause greedy consequences to the country, not to mention that the Chinese family had just opened the country to the world, and there were too many places that needed to make up for it, and the war bombardment could not be allowed to occupy the already limited human and material resources, it was enough to take the Valkyrie, and it didn't matter if the B-1A could be taken or not.
"You can control the rhythm yourself, this Valkyrie must be obtained in short, we have the v22 Osprey technology in our hands, the Americans must be exchanged in a unified manner, the problem is how to maximize the benefits in exchange for more benefits." After the eldest brother finished speaking, he climbed down the ladder. (To be continued.) )
