Chapter 379: FX2400 Gliding Guided Bomb

On a bomber, the highest authority to operate is the captain, who is the commander and is responsible for directing the flight of the entire aircraft, with the exception of one time, which is the bombing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When the bomb is dropped, the bombardier has the highest authority, he lets the plane fly level and turn it, and now, when he shouts to drop the bomb, it is also the time for him to operate.

With the press of the button, inside the belly of the machine, a huge bomb rolled down.

When the bomb rolled out of the belly, the whole plane trembled, and then, the plane was light.

The current JU-290, with its reinforced pylons and fuselage, can carry up to nine tons of ammunition, and of course, at such times, flight performance deteriorates dramatically, which is just a kind of experimental data for maximum loading.

Under normal circumstances, it can have a bomb load of six tons, which will not have much impact on maneuverability, and if it wants to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, the bomb load must be limited to five tons.

Now, this bomber only has one bomb on it, a special bomb developed and produced by Libya's secret weapons research institute, which can only be mounted on this bomber, which is a gliding guided bomb codenamed FX2400.

If you look at the codename, you can know that this bomb is 2,400 kilograms! This is an unprecedented bomb! And the only target of this kind of big bomb is the enemy's warship!

In fact, in terms of load capacity, there is no problem with attaching two, but now, only one can be attached, as long as you look at the bomb thrown out, you will know why.

This bomb is very similar to an ordinary free-fall bomb, it is just very large, more than four meters long, but compared to ordinary bombs, it also has a pair of horizontal wings!

Yes, the bomb with a pair of horizontal wings in the middle of the bomb resembles a small monoplane.

It has no power, it glides all on, and its horizontal wings, plus the tail wings, are only used to change course!

Ordinary bombers, after dropping the bomb, immediately accelerated to return home, but now, after this big bomb was dropped, the bomber did not fly away immediately, but slower.

At this time, Ludwig in front of him, his mind was in a high state of tension, and through the sight, he was staring closely at his target, and at the same time, his hands, on the operating stick on the side, were tinkering back and forth.

In the field of vision, the bomb will get smaller and smaller, but the tail of the bomb, a flashing signal light, is constantly shaking, this signal light, is where the bomb is located.

And Ludwig, need to control this bomb and hit his target accurately!

Yes, this bomb, one of the most secret weapons in Germany, is not a free-fall bomb, but a manned guided bomb!

Ordinary bombs, after falling, the trajectory is uncontrolled, in this case, the accuracy of the bombing will of course be very low, if you want to improve the accuracy of the bombing, there is not only a dive bombing!

Equip the bomb with a control system, so that the bomb can change the flight attitude in the air, then the accuracy can be greatly improved, and the horizontal bomber at high altitude needs such a control system the most!

In later generations, the air force without guided weapons, that is, the last stream, advanced guidance system, has long occupied the arsenal of the air forces of various countries, if you want to be cheap, it is GPS guidance, more high-end, is laser guidance or something.

But now, this kind of technology is impossible to come out, the electronic technology of this era is too backward, and now, the only thing that can be adopted is radio control.

Just like the remote-controlled model airplane, it is radio-controlled, and the control stick in Ludwig's hand is the control handle, through which it sends signals to adjust the attitude of the bomb.

At the same time, Ludwig's means of observation were only his eyes, and all this was completely artificially controlled.

The target is on the left, deflect to the left! Ludwig flipped his lever, and the bomb, after half a second of reaction, followed to the left.

Not good, deviate too much, and then to the right! Ludwig continued to twist his lever in the opposite direction, and at this moment, his mind was highly tense, and his heart was beating more than a hundred times per second!

If you want to hit the target, you must rely on the precise operation of the bombardier, no matter how many times he has practiced in normal times, now, when it comes to real combat, he is still a little nervous.

The handle can only send four commands, up, down, left, right, and the radio receiver at the tail of the bomb receives the signal and manipulates the spoiler on the wing to correct the course.

In this way, due to the poor reflexes of the control system, the bomb was left for a while, right for a while, up and down for a while, like a wobbly drunk walking.

On his forehead, sweat kept pouring out, and Ludwig gritted his teeth and continued to operate the bomb.

In training, his results were the best, and now, he must not miss! This is the result of years of hard work by the personnel of the Libyan base!

The Libyan base has always been used as a high-end secret weapons research and development base, and as early as a few years ago, Shirek put forward the idea of such a radio-controlled bomb, and it will take tremendous efforts to turn this idea into reality by using the current level of technology.

Not to mention, this remote-controlled bomb is only the first step, and Ciric even came up with the idea of using rocket-powered "flying torpedoes". (In this era, there was no talk of an anti-ship missile, such a powered anti-ship weapon, which was called a torpedo.) )

The subsequent development of several weapons was full of difficulties, and only this first remote-controlled bomb has been successful.

That complex anti-jamming scheme has not yet been added, and it can be said that if the British knew, they would be able to render such a bomb useless as long as radio interference was released.

However, now the first use of this weapon, which is absolutely unexpected to the British, is the first use of precision-guided weapons in the history of human warfare!

The target was large, even at high altitude, and the wide flight deck could be seen through the sights, and Ludwig knew that he had to drop the bomb accurately in the middle to be able to blow the target in two!

It's not good, it's too much to the right, then to the left!

In the palm of his hand, sweat was oozing, in fact, this artificially guided process was not long, but Ludwig's feeling at this time seemed like a century.

FX2400 gliding guided bomb, swaying left and right, towards your goal, forward! Its prey is the dock, the pride of the British Royal Navy, the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal!
