According to the descriptions of Masayoshi Inoda and Kenichi Mukai, the displacement of the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" ships of the Beiyang Naval Division was about 7,400 tons, and the total weight of their armor was about 1,400 tons. The Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info the thickest armor of the ironclad fort reached 14 inches (365 mm) on the waterline, and 12 inches (305 mm) below the waterline.

Moreover, the tonnage of all the capital ships of the Japanese Navy did not exceed 5,000 tons, and the thickness of their armor could not exceed that of the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" ships. The most terrible thing is that at this time, there are no aircraft that can be used in combat, and the protection capabilities of all these capital ships in the vertical direction are basically negligible.

When Masakichi Inoda and Kenichi Mukai were asked about the protection of the Japanese warships in the vertical direction, they looked confused and forced to "ask what the hell this is doing", and Hao Dajian felt that it was safer to bomb the Japanese warships with large-yield aerial bombs. However, the specific type of bomb to be used still needs to be calculated.

After drawing the general structure of the Japanese ships and marking as many data as possible, the three Japanese were invited out of the conference room, and the rest of the travelers began to discuss the specific details of the bombing operation.

"Can our Hellfire anti-tank missiles penetrate the armor of Japanese ships?" Lu Xiaobei asked Hao Dajian.

"There is no specific data on the armor of Japanese ships, which is difficult to say. If the thickness of the armor of the Japanese ships is 60 percent that of the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan armor according to the tonnage ratio, it can be penetrated. However, the Hellfire Shaped Warhead has a charge of less than seven kilograms, and cannot be fatal in a single hit unless it hits the ammo bin or a running boiler. Hao Dajian didn't dare to say that the "Hellfire" missile would definitely be able to sink the Japanese ship.

"And how many more rounds?" Lu Xiaobei asked, in the mind of the former nurse, the price of missiles is more expensive than aerial bombs, shouldn't it be more powerful than aerial bombs?

In fact, the price of a single "Hellfire" anti-tank bomb is indeed much higher than that of the "Paveway" guided bomb. In the twentieth century, it was also used in a much wider range of applications than guided munitiles.

Let's first take a look at how these two weapons work, and the "Paveway" guided missiles are powerless, except for a few models with jet engines. After they are thrown, they are powered by gravity falling, and then the guidance members constantly change the attitude of the bomb by adjusting the full-motion controllable tail according to the real-time position of the target and the bomb, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately hitting the target.

From the above description, it is not difficult for us to see the shortcomings of guided bombs. He needs to constantly adjust his attitude by the guidance components in order to achieve the purpose of precision strikes. The guidance component requires the search equipment to provide information about the target at all times, which leads to the air or ground units that provide this information to stay near the attack target all the time, increasing the risk for these fighters.

Moreover, guided missiles are powered by gravity falling, and their flight speed is usually determined by the speed and altitude of the aircraft at the time of the bomb drop, usually Mach 0.8, about 200 m/s. This would be awkward in the 21st century, and it would most likely be intercepted by ship-borne anti-aircraft artillery or self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

Missiles are different, many models of missiles are equipped with more advanced guidance systems, and they are left untouched after launch. Since missiles have power systems, planes using them can launch missiles farther away from the target area, and those planes carrying advanced cruise missiles can complete the launch operation without entering the strike range of the opponent's anti-aircraft fire, so that it is much safer for aircraft to launch missiles than to throw guided missiles. Missiles have a faster flight speed, basically reaching 3 times the speed of sound, that is, the level of 1000 m/s, which is not easy to intercept, and can also attack those units with strong mobility. These advantages are all capabilities that guided missiles do not have.

So why are all countries still equipped with guided navigation missiles in the 21st century? The answer is that it is economical, and I don't know how much cheaper it is than a missile with the same charge.

The use of any weapon depends on the era in which it is used to determine whether its performance is superior, as is the case with the "Paveway" guided bombs and "Hellfire" anti-tank missiles that pass through the hands of the public.

The flight speed of the "Paveway" guided missile is slow, and if it is delivered by the North American Mustang OV-10D in the hands of the people, it may not reach the speed of Mach 0.8. Even the Hellfire, which almost reached 400 m/s, was twice as fast.

But why do Zhao Yi and Hao Dajian both regard the navigation bomb as a town house treasure? The answer is that in this era there is no anti-aircraft fire that can intercept aerial bombs, nor can it get rid of its target by maneuvering, and its charge is tens and hundreds of times that of the "Hellfire", and in this era it can completely kill all the advantages of the "Hellfire" in seconds.

"If you look at the structural drawings provided by these three Japanese, the engine rooms of all the main warships of the Japanese army are surrounded by coal bunkers, and it is very difficult for us to hit the engine room directly with hellfire. As for the ammunition compartment, the positions drawn by the three men all contradict each other. Of course, this is not to say that they did it on purpose, in fact they all guessed these structures based on the Japanese ships they had visited, and everyone had been to different ships, so the drawings drawn were also different, which is normal. But there is a problem for our air strike team, and the plan to accurately hit the ammunition compartment is estimated to be in vain. After popularizing the knowledge of aerial bombs and missiles to Queen Lucifer, Hao Dajian said that he was not optimistic that the "Hellfire" missile could carry out a one-hit bombing mission.

"Isn't it okay to use hellfire to directly attack the coal bunker and cause a fire?" Lu Xiaobei asked.

"My Majesty Queen Lucifer, people dare to put coal there for fear of being hit. Unless you blow it up with an incendiary bomb, I can only send you two words - no play. Hao Dajian spread his hands and said.

In this era, it was common to place coal bunkers around the engine room, and the principle of bulletproof bulletproofing of the tank and sandbags filled with coal was the same, which was very effective in preventing the penetration of solid armor-piercing shells. These bunkers are divided into separate compartments and are closed to each other. When the coal is piled up, there is very little oxygen in it, and after pouring water, the possibility of explosion immediately after being hit is not high. Not to mention the possibility of using a hellfire with a charge of less than seven kilograms to cause an explosion, which is not very likely.

"Then can our Jewel Road bombs guarantee to sink Japanese ships with one shot?" Lu Xiaobei asked a little worriedly. Even though this former nurse has just been popularized, the notion that Hellfire is more powerful than the Gemway is still ingrained in her mind.

"It only takes a five-hundred-pound gem path to suffice, and if it touches the ship at an angle of more than forty-five degrees, it will be detonated with delay. These Japanese warships without any protection in the vertical direction, ours can directly blow the keel of their ship. At that time, even if the Japanese had god-level management damage, it would be useless, and they did not want to sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, so they could only quickly abandon the ship. Hao Dajian said with a smoke ring in a chic way. (To be continued.) )
