Chapter 297: Black Technology

Although during the Cold War, the two camps were bluffing at every turn and saying that they wanted to throw away mushrooms, in fact, everyone was also working hard to develop conventional weapons.

In order to defeat the enemy by all means, the military personnel of both sides can be said to be racking their brains to try every means to seize tactical advantages, and there are many leaders in black technology, such as the flying wing plan of the Soviet big brother.

This is the product of the concept of the two sides fighting all over the world in one hour, this so-called one hour all over the world, of course, does not refer to the paratroopers airdrop, but refers to the mushrooms thrown all over the world, after all, the loss of a five-ton baby and the loss of a car of paratroopers is simple and naturally needless to say, and the most brainy of them, naturally has to be my big brother.

Because the long-range missile technology is not very advanced, the air-dropped mushroom platform has become a battlefield for the two sides to compete.

As early as the forties, Comrade Stalin, the great father of the Soviet peoples, proposed that the Soviet Red Army should have its own large bombers, and the Soviet military workers also developed such big guys as the Tu-4 Il-28 under his call, but because of the experience of the Vietnam War, these slow heavy bombers were a bit inadequate in the face of fighters with missiles.

How could we, the Soviet Union, as one of the world's leading actors, not have a high-speed and high-altitude strategic bomber that could be used?

In the face of such doubts from the CPSU, the military workers once again threw themselves into the wave of research and development, and then Mozhaisky, the designer of the Red Banner Air Force Engineering Academy in Leningrad, and his team immediately decided to add a foot to the plan, if nothing else, but to give Moscow a little Soviet shock.

Because the design purpose is to throw the big baby into someone else's yard as quickly as possible, the designer first consulted the Air Force, hoping that they would give an indicator, and then got an extremely vague standard, with a take-off weight of 150 to 500 tons, a speed of Mach 2 to 4, and a height of 20,000 meters.

Such an indicator is equivalent to no such indicator for the designer, but since the order has been given, the design team has done a big job.

With the help of other research groups that joined later, they finally came up with a flying-wing bomber with a take-off empty weight of 88 tons, equipped with six turbojet engines with a power of 10,000 kgf, an afterburner of 15,800 kgf, and a flight speed of Mach 2.8, with a maximum range of 16,500 kilometers, a maximum flight altitude of more than 35,000 kilometers, and a large treasure of 15 tons. It also has a rapid anti-aircraft gun and an air-to-air missile launcher with an omnidirectional launch of 360 degrees.

Such a big guy is not to say in the Soviet Union, it is extremely rare in the world, if it can be made, the old men in the White House may really pee their pants, but unfortunately, because of various problems such as cost, infrastructure and so on, this thing eventually died, after all, even the Soviet Union, which was in its heyday and was throwing rubles on a large strategic offensive, could not afford to raise this thing.

Of course, there are many such black technology weapons, and both the United States and the Soviet Union are constantly finding new ways to try to find a way to suppress their opponents, such as stealth warships built by the United States, which are all products of the brains of military workers on both sides during this period.

It's just that Shepard doesn't have the ability to enter this kind of industry at present, because it is the work of an old military industry such as Boeing General Motors, they have mature technology, mature workers, and mature design teams, which is not comparable to Shepard, although his Knight ordnance is also mature enough, and there are also orders from the military.

But just a few gun accessories can't compare to these big guys, and the cost of a thousand sniper scopes adds up to less than a fighter, so if you want to be among these old-timers, Shepard must have the right opportunity to act as a springboard.

And such an opportunity is in front of you, of course, it's not that it's a black technology advanced bomber, that thing is not a human at all, and it's not a navy, although everyone in the family is a navy, but Shepard is actually not familiar with the shipbuilding industry, and what he chose is the armor plan of the hard-pressed third-class people.

That's right, it's the king of land warfare, the men's speed bumps, the children can't move their legs when they see it, the old men can't close their mouths, and even the girls have to roar twice when they see it.

Although later generations will inevitably be detained with a shoddy stereotype when mentioning Soviet tanks, in fact, during the Cold War, the Soviet Union's tank development was not weak, and even caused a lot of psychological shadows to Western friends.

At the end of World War II, when the West was still immersed in the excitement of our centurions, Pershing tanks and the German fragility, the Soviets came up with such a behemoth as the IS3, which really startled the British.

After all, compared with the IS3, the centurion with a seventeen-pounder or a twenty-pounder gun is really not enough, and the shock brought by the IS3 is not over, and the T54T55 tank that turned out to be born made the friends scared and couldn't sleep, everyone was afraid to wake up and find that the Soviet tank had driven to their own door.

Otherwise, why did the British develop the L7 gun? Because the British Empire has so much money that there is nowhere to spend it?

The notoriety of Soviet tanks comes from the reduction of tank exports on the one hand, and the quality of the operators on the other, such as the T72 tank that the whole world will point at the head of the Iraqi army and laugh, completely forget about the Turkish Leopard 2 tank that was blown by a large-caliber cannon, and the Saudi Prince-1 tank destroyed by the Houthis with anti-tank missiles.

The invincible German Leopard 2 will be blown up by a mere 155, how could I have such a dream!

Shepard has never been a weapon invincible theorist, the last one who felt that a single weapon was invincible, was Japan's Showa staff officer, they felt that they were invincible if they had two super pressure docks, what a US warship, eat my triple 94 type 45 times diameter 460 mm caliber naval gun!

Then the two ships that pressed the dock died worse than the other!

The U.S. Army and Marines hope to find a better alternative to the weak 551 Sheridan tank in their hands, which is called a mobile coffin, and the full name of this project is called ACVT, which is the so-called armored combat vehicle technology project!
