Above the clouds, a behemoth of the century bomber is flying at supersonic speed, the world's most advanced bomber, no one of the super bombers, has become the first wave of the Air Force to launch a large-scale air attack.

The planes sent to South Africa to bomb are naturally not only this century bomber, unlike non-stealth aircraft, although the century bombers will work together, they will basically not bomb in an airspace, and the super large bomb load makes a hard point target usually only need a century bomber to deal with.

Plasma active stealth, phantom optical stealth, a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, and 52 tons of built-in weapons and ammunition have made the Air Force extremely partial to the Century bomber, and so far, the US military has still not found any good way to deal with this super bomber.

"The target parameters are set, the strike begins!" Even if the century bomber flies into the airspace of South Africa, it is difficult for South Africa to find it, only at the moment when the attack begins, the century bomber is freed from the state of optical phantom stealth, and the thick clouds also block the bomber's figure, but it cannot block the bomb of the joint guided attack, the joint guided bomb used by the air force is already the third generation, with more accurate strike capabilities, greater power, and longer range, which also makes the century bomber do not need to fly too close to the target when performing tasks. Keep yourself safe as much as possible.

Pieces of ammunition are sprinkled from the air, these weapons are called Thunder-8, which have completely replaced the earlier Thunder-3, Thunder-5 and other bombs, and are the latest products in the Thunder series, equipped with a small ramjet engine, which allows the bomb to fly more than 160 kilometers, and more importantly, the bomb has a better ability to resist electromagnetic interference, a simple small setting makes the bomb perform a special maneuver when it is about to attack the target to prevent it from being destroyed by the enemy's terminal defense weapon.

Another more commonly used guided bomb is the Thunderstone-8, which is the same as the Thunder-8 This is also a third-generation joint guided weapon, the Thunderstone series has always been known for producing gliding bombs, and the LS-8 is also a gliding remote attack bomb, but it is more advanced. It is able to unfold its wings after launch, and control the direction through a vector engine, and more particularly, it can intelligently adjust the flight attitude many times, and can even repeatedly enter the target for attack, so that the bomb is not subject to repeated strikes. The range of the new gliding bomb reached 400 km, and of course few bombers had the opportunity to launch this bomb at a distance of 400 km. However, the warhead of the Thunderstone bomb has the configuration of submunitions and cluster bombs, and the damage caused when used in war can be imagined.

The Feiteng series of bombs, which are mainly guided by lasers, are basically assigned to light attack aircraft and UAVs, and bombers now advocate out-of-zone attacks, so laser guidance is basically not used.

The current Chinese air attack weapons have their own power and homing heads, that is to say, in fact, the Thunder-8 and Thunderstone-8 are not simply bombs, but can be regarded as missiles.

The target of the bomber attack was not only limited to military installations, but also involved many civilian facilities, including power plants, water plants, highways, railways, bridges, and even the buildings of some government offices.

For example, the parliament building in Pretoria, South Africa, was attacked by two thunder and thunderstone bombs, although the two bombs did not completely destroy the building, and only caused more than 20 casualties, but the blow to South Africa was very huge, and South Africans fully experienced the taste of being an enemy of China.

The South African press reported in horror: "...... We have reason to suspect that it was China's stealth bomber -- Century that carried out this air raid -- since the Century bomber was revealed, it has always been one of the weapons that NATO allies are most worried about, it is the most typical representative of China's advanced military science and technology, and it is also a vehicle that has completely realized the prefix of stealth, whether on the radar or in the naked eye. The air strikes carried out by the Chinese Air Force's stealth bombers against our country are inhumane and reprehensible, and have caused heavy losses to our country, but it should also be questioned here that our government has considered how powerful the enemy it is facing before choosing to join the war, and what South Africa should do in the face of a powerful enemy to avoid a greater crisis. ”

Chinese state media also reported on the bombing campaign, and the Global Times, adhering to its usual left-wing radical views, sneered at South Africa: "...... One night's work was enough to make South Africa, a new country that had just emerged from racial discrimination, repent. Although South Africa has constantly whitewashed itself before the war, claiming that its war with our country is just and protects the world's so-called 'democracy and freedom', it is like a reckless young man who makes hasty decisions when he has no confidence and may incur great disasters for himself. And this catastrophe has come, the US military that has failed in the Mozambique Strait and Madagascar in a row cannot have enough strength to protect South Africa as an ally, and China's large-scale air strikes have already heralded the start of a larger ground operation. ”

That is, when people first read the newspapers, the second round of bombing by the Chinese Air Force and the Navy had already been staged, and the PLA, which was not short of money, was already determined to use bombs to do a good baptism for South Africa, so that this military power would know where the gap between them and the real military power was.

In the bombing of the previous century bombers, the US military and the South African army did not have the slightest solution, the radar could not see, the human eye could not see, and the weather was bad that day, which reduced the visibility. The other side is a supersonic bomber, and after the fight, it will leave, and the US military and South Africa really have no way at all.

The second round of air raids became even more pretty, because China dispatched a large number of carrier-based attack aircraft, backfire tactical bombers, and a considerable number of multi-role fighters to participate in the bombing, and the Chinese air force dispatched more than 800 sorties to bomb South Africa. And despite the heavy losses, the US military and its allies still spare no effort to protect South Africa against Chinese air strikes and the subsequent invasion.

After the defeat of the Madagascar campaign, the US military immediately knew that the next target of the Chinese was South Africa, and South Africa, as a bridgehead into the Indian Ocean, could not have the slightest mistake, so the US military did not hesitate to transfer a large number of F-22 fighters for air defense missions on the mainland to South Africa for defense.

According to the analysis of the US military, the biggest advantage of Chinese fighters over American fighters lies in the generation difference, although stealth fighters are of limited use in large groups of air combat, especially now that the anti-stealth technology of both sides has improved, but advanced technologies such as super-maneuverability and situational awareness still make fifth-generation aircraft in the active position in air combat.

The U.S. military sent 102 F-22s across the Atlantic Ocean to South Africa non-stop, and the air battle became more intense because of the addition of these U.S. F-22s. The J-31 Falcon of China Navy is slightly inferior against the F-22, and only the J-11 and J-20 of the Air Force can steadily surpass the F-22. The F-22 Raptor is also assisted by a large number of NATO Air Force fighters, so that after the start of the South African campaign, the intensity of the entire air battle is not inferior to that of the air battle over the island of Madagascar.

And in this air battle, as the main attacker of the Chinese aviation forces also faced a huge test and challenge, the South African battle is a battle in which the US military and NATO have been forced into a corner by the Chinese PLA and have to fight to the death, so in the midst of danger, they also broke out more powerful combat effectiveness, in contrast, the PLA because of the winning streak and a certain arrogance, for the difficulty of the war lack of sufficient anticipation, so was caught off guard by NATO.

Qi Yiming later believed that the front-line commander who deployed the air raid mission was somewhat derelict in his duties, and that there was a problem with the distance and formation between the escort fighters and the attack planes and bombers on the main strike mission, so that after the engagement, US fighters rushed over and attacked these strike fighters, which had almost no self-defense capability, and this caused a lot of damage to the Qiang-7 and backfire.

It wasn't until a number of Backfire and Defenders were shot down that the Chinese Air Force realized the seriousness of the problem and pulled the strike fighters back, while the fighters weaved a tight protective net and engaged in desperate air combat with the US and other NATO fighters. In fact, the gap between the two sides in terms of technology and tactics is not very large, with the addition of a large number of F-22s, the equipment gap has also been shortened, but the Chinese aviation still has a group of strike fighters to protect, so in general, the Chinese side is in a relatively weak position.

Despite this, the Chinese air force still did its best to break through the defenses of US and NATO allied fighters, and more than 100 sorties of strike fighters entered South Africa's air defense circle and carried out air strikes on various military and civilian targets in South Africa. In particular, backfire bombers also bombed South Africa's Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, and the US aircraft carrier battle group had already anchored and headed west before the air raid began, so it did not become a victim of the air raid.

Although the effect of the air raid was far less good than that of the bomber air raid of the first century, it still achieved a lot of results, at least 3,000 NATO soldiers were killed and injured in the air raid, and China also paid some price, 16 J-7, 9 Backfire, 35 fighters were shot down, and in contrast, NATO air force paid 41 fighter losses, which is a slight advantage. Of course, the Chinese Aerospace Forces will not stop their plans because of this setback.
