Chapter 232 232 Continue to explode
Looking at the Air Force weapons part, it also unlocks a lot of very useful things. The PLA Air Force is counting on an exclusive air supremacy fighter that is stronger than the F-14. The forward-swept wing Black Hawk with stealth fifth-generation aircraft colors is finally ready to be built, and this excellent air supremacy has super-maneuverable capabilities that surpass the Sukhoi Flanker series and even rival the F-22. Two narrow magazines are placed in the front and rear of the belly, which can carry a total of 4 PL-12 medium-range bombs. Stealth penetration may not be as good as a full-fledged fifth-generation aircraft, but it is much more powerful than the likes of the F-15.
The new Black Hawk fighter, Qi Yiming plans to install it with the name of a J-11 that originally belonged to the Su-27, which can be regarded as continuing to carry forward the tradition of 11 Ji as a fighter and a female commander.
J-20, J-31 such purebred fifth-generation aircraft still have not been unlocked, Qi Yiming is somewhat lost, but think about it now with these things, how many tyrannical things, obviously the dragons and flying leopards can beat each other all over the ground to find teeth, so ahead is not conducive to their own plan to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
The other two Red Alert fighters seem to have been adjusted, the Soviet MiG and the Allied Apollo. Somehow, after the re-realization of these two fighters, they turned out to be medium-sized fighters, with the MiG using two mid-thrust engines and the Apollo fighter using a large thrust engine. The MiG looks like a modified canard version of the MiG-29, while the Apollo is a little more eccentric, like an oversized delta-wing STOVL fighter with some stealth design. True, the Apollo fighters can still take off and land vertically as in the game, but the MiGs don't seem to work anymore.
These two fighters have been evaluated by the base, although they have adopted a certain stealth modification, installed AESA radar and more complex and advanced avionics equipment, and replaced with new engines with a larger thrust-to-weight ratio, there is still a gap compared with the ultimate version of the second-generation Super Raptor new J-10B given by the base.
In addition to replacing the WS-10G turbofan engine, the thrust reaches 155 kN, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is more than 9, the second-generation Super Raptor is also equipped with its own active phased array radar, and the air intake duct also adopts the DSI clam type, and the fuselage can be equipped with a conformal fuel tank on the back of the fuselage after training again.
Although the MiG fighter also has good performance, compared with the second-generation Super Raptor, which is better than avionics, the exchange ratio is still worrying. As for the super-large delta wing Apollo, Qi Yiming didn't know how to describe it, maybe it could kill all sides in the game, with the 20mm Sun God cannon not falling behind, but in reality, the Apollo fighter was not even a chicken rib.
From this point of view, except for the Black Hawk fighter opportunity, which is undoubtedly on the top, squeezing out the position of the JH-7B in the Air Force's main air superiority fighter, the remaining Red Police goods can only be swept into the pile of old papers. Then the second generation of Super Raptors will also start to be manufactured, replacing their previous version.
In addition to the fighters, there were also some other flying units that also aroused Qi Yiming's interest. The Defender attack aircraft in Red Alert 3 (translated as a peacekeeping bomber, but in fact they are attack aircraft) have four vector engines that can adjust the direction, capable of vertical take-off and landing, and the technology of this engine is still quite mature, although each can only provide about 25,000 N thrust for this type of attack aircraft, and there is no afterburner, but the reliability is high, and the fuel consumption is not high, making its range larger than that of ordinary attack aircraft.
This attack aircraft has a wide fuselage, and unlike the original game design, this attack aircraft that is slightly larger than the A-10 has a wide fuselage, which not only makes it have to face larger targets, but also fits a small cabin that can accommodate 6 people. This cramped space can of course also carry something like a bomb. However, because VTOL can adapt to a variety of environments, defenders are actually up to the task of rescuing and transporting soldiers behind enemy lines in the chaos of the battlefield.
The wide straight wings also give it good low-altitude performance, with a pair of long horizontal tails. This type of attack aircraft can reach a maximum of 8 tons, which is not inferior to the A-10 attack aircraft of the US military, and if you count the removable compartment inside, it can carry up to 11 tons of ammunition.
It is difficult to say whether such an attack aircraft was a success or a failure, the price is not expensive, and the technical difficulty is not particularly high compared to a fighter, and it can be mass-produced. It can carry a lot of weapons, it can also occasionally play the role of a helicopter, and even if it is modified, it can also be used as an amphibious assault ship or aircraft carrier as a ground strike platform. However, its excessive size is more likely to be hit, and its subsonic speed and low ceiling are also easy to be hunted by fighters. In short, how well it performs really has to be evaluated on the battlefield.
The Soviet Kirov airship and the Allied Bomber of the Century are also two good things. Qi Yiming naturally never expected that the airships of this era could really be used as bombers, but the giant airships with low operating costs and large load capacity can do many other things. For example, communication relay and signal air towers, second-line stable early warning platforms, air logistics supply conveyors, and air refueling platforms that can be equivalent to four or five ordinary tankers. In short, if you want to make good use of it, there are still many ways.
The Bomber of the Century also has some deviations from the original version of the game. For example, it is no longer a bomber of VTOL, and it is difficult to imagine how a behemoth of several hundred tons can be pushed into the sky with four vector engines, which is clearly out of common sense. As a result, the Century Bomber changed from vertical take-off and landing to short-distance take-off and landing, and even though its maximum take-off weight could reach 300 tons, it could still take off and land on an earthen runway of more than 300 meters, and had better battlefield adaptability.
The maximum take-off weight of 300 tons also makes this cargo the largest bomber in the world today. Instead of a variable sweep wing like the B-1B or Tu-160, a pair of swept trapezoidal wings were used, and the tail also had a V-shaped vertical tail instead of the original medium-length horizontal tail. The nose is also sharp and angular, with two air intakes with four engines, and a back air intake is used for stealth capability. Fully glazed cockpit and better cockpit visibility, with multiple attack modes and auxiliary attack methods.
The fly in the ointment is that after the combat laboratory is opened, some technologies need to be researched and developed, and stealth paint is one of them, which is also a requirement for unlocking the stealth aircraft. So now the Century Bomber has no stealth coating, which makes Qi Yiming sigh that it has wasted its good stealth design.
The huge Century Bomber was able to carry 52 tons of ammunition with only the built-in magazine, and 40 tons with the external bomb. It is also much stronger than the Tu-160, which is known as the most bomb-carrying in the world, which is naturally due to the better power system. It can basically carry all kinds of weapons made in China, and even not only cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles, but also an air-launched medium-range ballistic missile specially built for this huge aircraft.
Due to the problem of design ideas, it also does not have a traditional configuration, and the attack mode is basically guided by stealth penetration and out-of-zone bombing. Except for the air-launched ballistic missiles with a range of 1,500 km, most attack weapons basically maintain a range of 100 km, and some guided bombs are about 50 or 60 km.
Because of the extreme cost of construction, this bomber had to avoid being exposed to the enemy's anti-aircraft fire as much as possible, so the delicate bomber of the century would not have done the work of carpet bombing like the B-1B or B-52.
The maximum speed at an altitude of 12,000 meters can reach Mach 2 and the cruising speed is 0. Mach 9, maximum range 17000 km, cruising combat radius 8600 km. With such a thing, with only one in-flight refueling, you can almost fly from China to the United States and drop the bomb, and then circle the globe back to China.
Indeed, because of its large size, although the RCS of the Century Bomber, which wants to be a stealth bomber, may be several times that of the B-2, but this terrible bomb load is also several times that of the B-2. In addition, the B-2 can't even carry cruise missiles, but the Century bomber can hang ballistic missiles. This bomber is not a strategic bomber, what is?
After reading the introduction to the Century Bomber, Qi Yiming was almost drooling, and his eyes were so hot that they were on fire. It's a pity that this cargo has an upper limit on the number of dreadnoughts, and it can only be built at most 16 planes. Think about it, three or four are enough ****, and 16 is almost enough. If this thing is really dispatched to fight, it is estimated that it will be a war in the world, and the main role of strategic bombers, Qi Yiming thinks that it is still a deterrent.
The B-2's small arms and legs did not come to the Korean Peninsula once, and all the countries in the world were nervous and shocked, and the bomber of the century, which was much more ferocious than the B-2, had not become a deterrent machine for dictatorship and disobedience?
In addition to some weapons of the army, navy and air force, the original Chinese-made missile weapons were basically unlocked this time, and even Qi Yiming had only heard rumors before, and some weapons that he had not seen real equipment had also come out. For example, the Hongqi family of anti-aircraft missiles, the Hongqi-9 was originally used as the main air defense weapon, and the target was generally a winged vehicle, and the anti-missile mission was slightly weaker. Qi Yiming has unlocked two new types of air defense weapons, Hongqi-19 and Hongqi-26, and the range of Hongqi-19 is as high as 500 kilometers, which is farther than the S-400 missile, which has not yet been developed. The Hongqi-19 is still mainly used against winged aircraft, and also has anti-missile capabilities; The Hongqi-26 basically performs anti-missile and anti-satellite missions, and the range is also 500 kilometers. Both missiles have naval versions, in particular, the Hongqi-26, which will serve as an important part of sea-based anti-missiles.
In the field of ballistic missiles, Dongfeng-31, Dongfeng-41, Dongfeng-21D, a complete family of Dongfeng missiles have been released. In particular, the 21D, an absolute strategic weapon to contain aircraft carriers, made the cards in Qi Yiming's hand better. The sea-based Julang-3 can also be used with the 096 (a combination of the Red Alert Typhoon-class nuclear submarine), with a range of more than 12,000 kilometers, close to the Dongfeng-41 missile.
The nuclear bomb has been unlocked in the super weapon, Qi Yiming can directly equip these ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads this time, Qi Yiming has not had his own nuclear arsenal all along, although he does not plan to turn Nanyang into a nuclear country, but it is a good choice to store nuclear arsenals here.
