Chapter 329: The Air Force That Leaps Forward

In the combat vehicle unit, in addition to the new Apocalypse Tank, the upgrade of another weapon and equipment also made Fan Yize feel a sense of brightness.

The comprehensive upgrade of anti-aircraft tracked vehicles, especially the all-round improvement of anti-aircraft weapon modules, has made the ground air defense forces no longer just have anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery.

The newly upgraded anti-aircraft tracked vehicle has a full set of air defense weapon systems, including air defense radar vehicles, command vehicles, anti-aircraft missile launch vehicles, as well as short-range air defense projectile and artillery integrated systems, and ground phalanx systems.

A wide range of ground-based radar detection systems range from long-range regional anti-aircraft missiles to small-scale short-range anti-aircraft missile and artillery systems that meet regional air defense.

With these air defense equipment, it is possible to form an air defense umbrella at the side of the ground forces at any time to intercept various incoming aircraft.

Even without the protection of the air force, in the time and space of World War II, the enemy's air force will inevitably be hit head-on by ground anti-aircraft fire.

Compared with the comprehensive upgrade of ground equipment, the upgrade of the air force command has also brought about various advanced scientific and technological improvements.

Advanced comprehensive radar detection, as well as the emergence of unlocked new fighters and various missiles, have made amazing changes in the combat mode of the Red Alert Air Force.

The upgraded Intruder fighter is no longer an old-fashioned propeller fighter, but a jet fighter, and it has been upgraded to a jet fighter-bomber, and its performance has changed dramatically, and it is not the same type of aircraft at all as the previous Intruder.

The newly upgraded Intruder fighter-bomber is a veritable second-generation aircraft equipped with a digital attack targeting and integrated multi-functional avionics system.

The fuselage with a variable sweep wing design is capable of penetrating at ultra-low altitudes at Mach 1.5 speeds, or at high altitudes at Mach 8 speeds.

The Intruder fighter-bomber has eight external hardpoints, capable of carrying an eight-ton external load, and can carry weapons including air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, aviation-guided bombs, rockets, and even nuclear cruise missiles.

The new Intruder has a large interior space, a wide and slender fuselage, a side-by-side cockpit that can seat two crew members, and a variable sweep wing that is automatically adjusted and controlled by a central computer can be freely adjusted between 16 and 75 degrees without the need for manual control.

The power system, the Intruder fighter-bomber is equipped with two afterburner turbojet engines, the maximum thrust of each is 9,600 kg, the afterburner thrust can reach 15,000 kg, it can carry ten tons of fuel at a time, with a retractable taper sleeve hose, in addition to normal refueling in the air, it is also capable of refueling partner aircraft.

It can also be attached to four 1.5-ton external auxiliary fuel tanks, and the main landing gear is divided into carrier-based aircraft structure and conventional ground airfield structure, which can be used as land-based aircraft and aircraft carrier-based aircraft.

In terms of weapon systems, the Intruder fighter-bomber has a 30mm Gate revolver gun due to its huge fuel load, ultra-long range and continuous cruising ability, which can be fully loaded with eight tons of ammunition under a full load of fuel.

It has a maximum take-off weight of 13 tons, a maximum take-off weight of 34 tons, a maximum flight speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour, a practical ceiling of 15,000 kilometers, a range of 4,700 kilometers, and a combat radius of 1,300 kilometers.

Judging from the data, the Invader fighter-bomber is an aircraft that is extremely satisfactory in terms of performance and combat effectiveness.

Although it is a second-generation aircraft, it has a lot of technology that belongs to the third-generation fighter.

In particular, the integrated avionics system and radar system have reached the level of the third-generation fighter, and the ground attack system installed can easily lock and identify ground targets, and the guided bombs dropped can also accurately hit the ground forces.

An Intruder fighter-bomber carried ammunition that could easily render a standard German armored battalion incapacitated.

In addition to the Intruder fighter-bomber, helicopters, transport planes, and bombers also have a comprehensive upgrade model.

Helicopters have appeared with helicopter gunships - Hind, transport planes have real jet transport planes, and bombers have a more powerful jet bomber.

Even the flight platform of the AWACS aircraft has become a jet air platform, the radar has been fully upgraded, and the electronic system has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The newly added Black Hawk fighter is a veritable third-generation fighter, and its performance has fully reached the level of an excellent third-generation fighter.

Black Hawk fighter, a multi-functional fighter specially used for ultra-high-altitude hypersonic interception and long-endurance air supremacy combat, has two models: air combat type and ultra-high-altitude interception.

Like the Intruder fighter, it adopts a variable sweep wing layout, a twin-engine two-seat layout, an empty weight of sixteen tons, a maximum take-off weight of thirty-eight tons, two afterburner engines, a single thrust of 16,000 kilograms, an internal fuel load of eleven tons, and can carry ten tons of ammunition.

It has a practical ceiling of 26,000 kilometers, can reach speeds close to Mach 3 at high altitudes and high speeds, is equipped with first-generation phased array radars, has a combat radius of 1,100 kilometers, and is capable of using various missiles of the Air Force.

Its air supremacy combat capability is second to none in the Red Guard Corps, and it is mostly used to intercept high-altitude hypersonic targets, which is somewhat similar to an interceptor.

And the average second-generation aircraft is simply not able to attack the flight altitude that the Black Hawk fighter can reach.

In terms of weapon system, when it is mostly used for interception and air supremacy, it can carry a variety of anti-air combat weapons, also has the ability to attack on the ground, can carry a variety of guided attack ammunition, and the infrared laser pod under the belly can also easily lock on to the ground or sea target.

It can drop joint attack ammunition for the destruction of ground targets, and can also carry large penetrating bombs to attack underground bunker structures, with a variety of guidance methods, making the attack and operation quite simple.

The unified one-handed joystick on the right side is also able to be more flexible in air combat.

The Navy's new carrier-based aircraft, the Wasp, is actually a derivative version of the Black Hawk fighter, except that this version has an additional model that can take off from an amphibious assault ship with vertical take-off and landing for a short distance.

After the comprehensive upgrade, the Red Alert Air Force has improved dramatically in both its combat mode and combat strength, and it can even be said that it has completely entered the height of another air combat mode.

This height is unimaginable in World War II.
