Chapter 1466 Carrier-based AWACS aircraft

It's completely careless, it's not that their strength is not good, but because of tactical problems, for the naval aviation of the proud island country, such a mistake will be made!

It was intended to ambush the other side, but it turned out to be ambushed by the other party, which is simply unacceptable, and now, the Americans' aircraft carrier group is approaching Midway Island and wants to recapture Midway? There are no doors!

Standing on the Yamato, Pheasant Fifty-Six will not be willing to fail, with his back to Midway, he can take the main fleet and continue the decisive battle with the Americans! He also has two escort aircraft carriers, and the base on the island can also take off fighters, and his own side has definitely not failed!

In the Pacific Ocean, the smoke of gunfire is everywhere.

"The key to this battle is that the Americans first discovered the main force of the island nation's fleet and supervised it at all times." When the news came back to the wolf's den, Ciric and the others were also analyzing the gains and losses of this battle.

"This shows that the Americans have mastered the technology of deploying radars on large reconnaissance aircraft." Although Ciric did not see it with his own eyes, he could easily analyze it by looking at the course of this battle.

The key is that the Americans first discovered the island nation's aircraft carrier formation, especially throughout the night, the Americans have been monitoring the island country's formation, but the islanders are not prepared, so after dawn, when the islanders are still searching for the traces of the US fleet, the Americans' attack has already begun.

What kind of technology can be achieved?

It must have been the Americans who put their radars on board the planes to conduct maritime surveillance, and at night, the reconnaissance planes will not reveal their whereabouts, but they can firmly grasp the movements of the island fleet.

With the crossing of Ciric, World War II and history began to be constantly different, gradually drifting apart, and many technologies, because of Ciric's stimulation, were realized in advance.

Even in history, after the Pearl Harbor incident, in order to solve the problem that it was difficult for ground and ship radars to detect low-altitude intrusion targets, the United States began to install high-power radars on carrier-based aircraft, so that they could detect low-altitude aircraft and surface ships at a relatively long distance, and transmit radar information to ships by radio in a timely manner.

After several years of hard work, in the spring of 1944, the engineers finally installed the AN/APS-20 radar (S-band) developed by General Electric on Grumman's TBM-3 "Avenger" carrier-based torpedo aircraft.

At the same time, the radar installation on the TBM-3 torpedo machine and its layout were modified: all the weapons were disassembled, a fairing with a radar antenna was installed under the middle part of the fuselage, and the plane turned into a big belly; In order to maintain course stability, an auxiliary vertical surface was installed on the water level stabilization surface of the standard TBM-3 carrier aircraft, so that the tail became a triple vertical tail layout.

After repeated experiments, this aircraft can spot aircraft flying at a low altitude of 150 meters at a distance of 100 to 120 km in calm sea conditions, and ships at sea at a distance of 320 km.

This distance is enough to firmly track the opponent's surface formation to the extent of absolute safety, and if nothing else, the Americans must have made this thing out.

Although clutter cannot be filtered out due to some technical problems, when the sea conditions are bad, the airborne radar cannot detect the target normally due to the strong clutter reflected from the sea surface. But the Pacific Ocean is calm a lot of the time, and it's perfectly fine.

As the world's first carrier-based early warning aircraft, TBM-3 already has the basic characteristics of an early warning aircraft: carrier aircraft, high-power search radar and radar intelligence transmission communication chain.

Under the guidance of Ciric, Germany's microelectronics technology has developed rapidly, and now, the output and performance of transistors are very stable, and at the same time, German scientists have tried to build more P-N junctions on a semiconductor unit to realize the function of preliminary integrated circuits, although there is no laser etching and other technologies, so that its process still has many problems, but in the right direction, they are constantly taking steps.

"It seems that we are also going to step up the research and development of carrier-based early warning aircraft." "Put our radar on the plane so that it can detect what's going on farther out at sea," Shirek said. ”

After all, in the future, there will definitely be a situation in which the US Navy and the German Navy will fight in the Atlantic, and in order to avoid being suppressed by the Americans, it is necessary to develop carrier-based early warning aircraft, even if the performance is backward and it is impossible to filter out clutter, then the problem of whether there is or without must be solved.

"Yes, we'll deploy it." Speer said.

"Although the Americans won the naval battle and severely damaged the navy of the island country, the island country has already taken root at Midway, and it is not so easy to win the Pacific War." "With the island nation at bay on the Americans, we can rest assured for the time being," Shirek said. Let's look at what we're doing on the Eastern Front. ”

When it comes to the Eastern Front, everyone's expressions are filled with joy.

"Führer Ciric, now that the battle of Kyiv has basically come to an end, we have eliminated at least 700,000 Soviet troops on the battlefield of Kyiv, and this is a great victory!" Keitel said loudly: "It is also the biggest siege battle since we started the war!" ”

After the middle road went south, after the encirclement was closed, the end of the Soviet troops in the encirclement was doomed, although they bravely broke through, but those who could break through must be a minority, according to estimates, a total of about 10,000 people, most of them, were wiped out.

This means that another powerful unit of the USSR has been wiped out, and the pillars that supported the Soviet edifice have collapsed again, and now, the edifice of the USSR, is already crumbling!

Everyone's faces were excited, after taking Kiev and solving the 700,000 troops, the Germans were left with only one task, which was to rush to Moscow in one go!

"In order to boost morale, Moscow is preparing for a military parade." "They said they wanted to make up for the fact that they didn't have a parade on May 1, Labor Day," Schellner said. ”

The Soviets, now that they are exhausted in donkey skills, can't fight head-on, and actually want to regain their dignity on the parade ground!

Hearing this news, Shirek immediately remembered that in history, the Germans were in the city, and the Soviets still held that inspiring October Revolution military parade, which greatly boosted the morale of the whole country, and was even considered a turning point in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union.

Stalin was proud, Zhukov was resourceful, alas, in the face of absolute strength, everything was in vain!

"Prepare me, I'm going to Kyiv." "We are in Kyiv, holding a victory parade!" ”

To Kyiv? Immediately, everyone was stunned, and Schellner immediately spoke out against it: "No, Führer Ciric, you can't go, it's dangerous there!" ”
