Air-to-air rockets rarely appeared in later generations, because it was very difficult to quickly overturn to air-to-air missiles and carry out covering strikes in the air, because they were three-dimensional.

However, in this era when there are no missiles, air-to-air rockets, as a new weapon, are still irreplaceable, and it solves several problems: range and power.

There are many theories about the range of air-to-air weapons, take the current R4M air-to-air rocket as an example, if it is launched on the ground, its range is only about one thousand meters, and now, because the carrier aircraft has a speed of four hundred kilometers per hour when launched, its range is quickly enlarged to more than three kilometers, if it is a tail chasing attack, because the other party will also advance, it is impossible to launch at a distance of three kilometers, otherwise the target would have flown away, and now it is head-on, even if it is five kilometers, There is also a possibility of hitting, because the opponent will fly the other two kilometers.

Now, if he wanted to, Novotny could launch at a distance of five kilometers, but he didn't do that, the distance was too far, what if the other side dodged?

Generally speaking, bombers entering the bombing route will not easily change their navigation course, which will cause the bomb to deviate from the intended trajectory and miss the target, but if the bomber is in danger, such as the flying rockets, they will definitely drop the bomb and escape.

The first is range, the second is power, how can a 20 mm cannon be compared to a rocket? Even the current R4M is 55 mm.

Now, the distance between the two sides is still rapidly approaching, and after entering the visual contact, they continue to approach, ten kilometers, five kilometers, four kilometers, three kilometers...

"Salvo rockets, four." Novotny shouted loudly, and then he pulled the nose of the plane first.

In order to launch rockets, their sights have also been improved, and the trajectory of rockets in the air is more curved than that of artillery shells, although their height is higher than that of the opponent, but the distance is different, and the height difference required is also different, and now, they need to increase the angle of fire a little.

Almost as soon as he pulled it up, the movable ring of the sight was already in the middle of the reticle, and then Novotny pressed the fire button.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Four soft noises emerged from under the wings.

A brilliant flame came out of the tail of the R4M rocket, and under the impetus of the rocket engine, it quickly left the pylon, and when it was disengaged from the pylon, the folding wings of the tail were successfully ejected.

The technology of folding the wings is not complicated, and in this era, in order to stuff rockets into the rocket launcher, almost all of them are in the form of folding wings.

The bullet rotates to keep the trajectory stable, while the rocket relies on the tail wing, and now, as the tail unfolds, the rocket regains its balance, drags the tail flame, and continues to fly forward.

Behind the flames, a black smoke and four rockets were pulled out, that is, four puffs of black smoke, dragged forward in the air, straight to the bomber units of the Americans.

If a single fighter intercepts the opponent's bomber, it will launch the 24 rockets it carries together, and now, because it is two interception lines composed of 24 fighters, even if each fighter only fires four rockets, it is nearly 100 rockets, and in the air, a terrible array of rockets is formed, as if it is a rain of arrows formed by ancient soldiers, flying forward.

The scene was spectacular.

When the rocket was launched, the pilots did not return to level flight, they pushed the throttle stick to the maximum, continued to climb upward, and broke away from the altitude just now.

This is to avoid danger.

The black smoke emitted by the engines of nearly 100 rockets has spread out in the rear, forming a terrible black cloud, and if you continue to fly at that altitude, you will turn off at any time because the engine swallows smoke, and the consequences will be very serious, and if you don't do it, the plane will be destroyed and people will die, but now, as long as you climb and get out of the original altitude, you can do it.

At the same time, they climbed for another purpose.

At this point, the multiple-choice questions are left to the other party.

If the opponent does not change the direction of flight and does not disband the formation, then it will suffer a terrible saturation attack of rockets and suffer heavy losses, and if they disperse, then there will be no crossfire, and the jet troops will dive down from a high altitude, enter at the blind spot of the opponent's shooting, and take out the opponent.

Now, the jet formations climbed and prepared for the next battle, and this difficult multiple-choice question was left before the eyes of Major General Kenneth.

The puffs of black smoke seemed to be a demon coming out of hell, and at the front end of the flames, there were rockets flying over, what should you do?

At this moment, Major General Kenneth thought a lot, the fluttering American flag, the honor of American soldiers, all the way to the women and children in his own family, and his eyes became firm: "According to the original plan, prepare for the bombing countdown." ”

They will be able to enter the bombing almost immediately.

"One-minute countdown." So, William began the final count, the plane remained stable, if hit, then to die, if not hit, then to bomb.

Just as he counted to 58, the terrible rocket had already flown in.

Major General Kenneth's eyes, like a torch, looked at the first rocket, flying outside the left wing of his own plane, his eyes were full of disdain, and then, the second rocket, flying from the right side of the fuselage, still missed.

Even if it is your own dense formation, the gap in the middle is very large, and it is too difficult for the opponent to hit!

At this moment, a third rocket flew in.

This rocket, in the retina of Major General Kenneth, gradually grew larger, gradually larger, and he seemed to be able to see the warhead of the rocket, the wings of the tail, and the trajectory of the rocket.

It should be wrong, it will, God forbid!

In his gaze, the rocket was almost grazing the No. 1 engine on the left, and from his point of view, it should not have touched.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a huge explosion sounded, and the warhead of this rocket exploded!

Countless shrapnel flew towards the engine, piercing the aluminum alloy shell outside, piercing the cylinder inside, and in an instant, billowing black smoke came out of the engine.

At this moment, Major General Kenneth is still relatively calm, it doesn't matter if he loses an engine, he can still fly!

However, in the next second, from the position of this engine, the wing suddenly broke in unison!
