Volume 10 Reshuffle Chapter 60 Royal Air Force
7 When Pei Chengyi and Hua Jianfeng concluded that Britain did not create conditions for the sake of "empire face." and unexpectedly bombing the Horse Island, the British Ministry of Defense had already sent the Air Force's combat strategy to Prime Minister George, and waited for the Prime Minister to sign the action order.
In fact, long before the conflict broke out, the British Air Force had formulated similar combat plans.
Although the arrogant British would not admit that they had expected to lose the Falkland Islands again, from the Likou year, shortly after the first batch of advanced weapons and equipment produced from the Republic arrived in Argentina, the then Prime Minister ordered all major military branches to formulate small combat plans for possible situations through the Ministry of Defense. Then, an astonishing submarine oilfield was found near the Falkland Islands, and the Great Depression that affected the world. The British government adjusted the national defense development plan, greatly improving the strategy of the Falkland Islands. It required all major military branches to formulate long-term development plans based on this. Mu Yong suspected that among the three major royal branches, the Royal Air Force was the most embarrassing.
No one denies the importance of the Air Force, but the Royal Air Force does not benefit from it.
Like other influential powers, Britain had long realized the importance of the sky army and conducted in-depth research on aerospace operations at the beginning of the century. As the United States and the Republic successively established independent heavenly soldiers, Britain also established the "Celestial Warriors" in the early 2000s. When the Heavenly Warriors were first established, the "Royal Marines" were semi-independent troops similar to the "Royal Marines". They were affiliated with the Air Force and had a certain degree of independence. During the Great Depression, the struggle between the Republic and the United States became increasingly fierce. The field of confrontation also expanded rapidly to various spaces of human activities, and outer space was no exception. For example, both sides established a "national strategic missile defense system" mainly based on space-based interception systems, and launched a new space exploration craze, and even proposed the idea of establishing a colony on the moon and Mars. As a major power, even if Britain did not have it, it was not.
Eligible to join the confrontation. We will not stand by and will not be willing to fall behind us. Everyone knows that in the vast space, the "sky soldiers" play not only the role of national defense forces, but also the pioneers of outer space exploration. In this context, the celestial soldiers became independent royal arms at the end of the century-old era. It was from this time that the Royal Air Force was severely challenged. As we all know, during this period, due to the threat from the Southern Atlantic Ocean, Britain continued to strengthen naval construction, and the military expenditure assigned by the Royal Navy increased year by year. With the limited total military expenditure, strengthening naval construction is equivalent to weakening other military arms. Because Britain has never been a real "land power country." Therefore, the Royal Army's status is not high and it is not much affected. There is no doubt that the Royal Air Force is not so lucky
It can be said that in recent years, the Royal Air Force has not won the victory in the struggle against the Royal Navy.
Take the crucial tactical aviation force as an example: Before the Libian Year, the Royal Air Force proposed a thug to address the situation that the main combat equipment defense and porridge were lagging behind the mainstream of the world. "It intends to develop and cooperate to develop or purchase one or more advanced tactical fighters to replace the �bian and porridge force, so that the RAF's combat effectiveness will be improved above; at the beginning, the plan was supported by many governments and parliamentary institutions, including the House of Commons National Defense Committee, and was supported by the global aviation industry.
. Not to mention, after several deliberations, the British Ministry of Defense abandoned self-development and cooperative development and decided to purchase advanced fighter jets from the international market, the Republic and Russia's fighter jet manufacturing companies participated in the bidding, among which Russia's Sukhoi also came up with the latest blade fighter jets; according to the plan of the Royal Air Force, "future tactical fighter jets" will be divided into two parts, one is high-end heavy air combat fighter jets, and the other is low-end light or medium-sized multi-purpose fighter jets;
The requirements of the Royal Air Force are fully in line with the development trend of air force, because as more and more new technologies, especially active interception technology, enter the practical stage, will definitely trigger a tactical revolution in air combat. Air combat will enter a new era, and the requirements for air combat aircraft are higher. Only heavy air combat aircraft can meet the needs of future air combat operations, and a large number of light and medium-sized air combat aircraft will be eliminated; it has to be said that the Royal Air Force is very visionary, and the Indian war will be proved in a few years.
The problem is that it is almost impossible for the Royal Air Force to purchase two types of fighter jets around the year before the Royal Air Force purchased two types of fighter jets, because it was impossible for the Royal Air Force to squander taxpayers' money at will; in the end, the Royal Air Force only obtained the option of purchasing one fighter jet, and in order to save procurement funds, it was forced to choose a common team with the Navy, rather than the most advanced four-degree that Britain could buy from the United States at that time.
Although this procurement was rated as the "stupidest decision", the embarrassing situation of the RAF can be seen from it.
Of course, the RAF did not give up on its efforts.
In fact, the Royal Air Force has been working hard to retain a strong enough air force, and even took advantage of various opportunities to propose some unrealistic plans. For example, after the strategic location of the Falkland Islands was improved, the Royal Air Force proposed a plan to develop or purchase bombers according to the requirements of the Ministry of Defense. Although the plan did not mention whether it was a strategic bomber or an ordinary bomber, judging by the situation around the reunion, the British government could not approve any plans related to the strategic aviation force, nor did it have money to purchase expensive bombers. In fact, the Royal Air Force did not intend to purchase bombers with limited funds for the Falkland Islands, but wanted to take this opportunity to allow the Ministry of Defense to let go of the purchase of heavy fighter jets and create opportunities for purchases of 2.
It can be said that over the past few years, the most important effort of the Royal Air Force is to buy fish.
As mentioned earlier, as early as before the Tiannian, when Wang Xianhe was in the imperial festival, the 4-degree Wang Xianhe made a test flight with the 4-degree Wang to make the field clearance of the 4-degree Wang Tianshun. The Royal Air Force proposed a joint development project, but was eventually rejected by the House of Commons on the grounds that it was "too expensive". After the outbreak of the Indian War, the Royal Air Force sent a lobby with the Lockheed Martin Company, which produced the 4-degree Wang, and asked the House of Commons to provide at least 100 million euros for the purchase of smelting fighter jets in the year of injury.
According to international prices, only 6 aircraft were purchased. Affected by the war, especially the Xiaobi series of fighters in an almost ravaged way in air combat, the fight against India's "Carctic Crucians" were very shocked, because the fraud between the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy was not essentially different from the first four of India. At the beginning of the year, the British House of Commons approved an additional defense budget of up to 100 million euros, including two thugs and supporting facilities, and required Lockheed Martin to deliver it at the end of the year.
That's why the Royal Air Force became the first overseas client.
Although it is difficult for the ROOM 4 to play an important role in the British national defense system, for the Royal Air Force, which does not need to worry too much about local security, the ROOM 4 is enough to play a key role in foreign military operations. More importantly, the main purpose of the ROOM 4 is to re-master the deployment and use of heavy air combat aircraft. The procurement plan of the ROOM 4 was broken because of the poor performance of the series of fighters in the Peninsula War and the Japanese War. Therefore, after the "Storm" smart air combat aircraft was replaced by ROOM 4 at the beginning of the century, the ROOM 4 had not been exposed to heavy air combat aircraft for many years.
Lay the foundation for purchasing more charcoals in the future. According to the long-term rules formulated by the Royal Air Force, the Royal Air Force will collect calcium in 7 batches, purchase letters to the thugs, and form the most powerful tactical aviation force in Europe. Even if the consistent practice of the House of Commons in the UK, the military procurement plan will be cut in half when approving funds, and the Royal Air Force will also obtain at least charcoals and become the strongest air force in Europe with the strongest air control capabilities. In addition, from the perspective of the sluggish effect, the charcoal will also form combat effectiveness and the minimum limit for continuous combat in war. If the less, it will affect combat efficiency.
Of course, like Xiaojiu, Ye is not a simple air-control fighter.
As the second fifth-generation heavy air combat fighter in the world, the Office said from the beginning that Xiao Ao's chief engineer rejected the "omnidirectional active interception system" due to the difficulty of system integration and the miniaturization of energy systems, Lockheed Martial Arts's odor factory insisted on equiping the "omnidirectional active interception system" on the ground. Until it was discovered that it did exceed the existing technology and if it continued to persist, it would seriously affect the development progress, it would have to settle for the second best. Like Xiao Ao, it chose a limited active defense system, so that the first flight was made shortly after Xiao Ji took off.
No matter which aspect, You is a very advanced fighter, no less than a small old one.
.
In fact, when the development of the 4-decave, the US Air Force learned from each other's experience.
As the fourth-generation heavy air combat fighter to serve, the knife was covered with a mysterious veil from the day it was born, especially in the East China Sea War. The Japanese Air Force's fierce attack made the Republic Air Force say that the Xiaozhi battle played a role in turning the tide, and it was probably the Republic Air Force who was defeated. However, when it came to the Peninsula War and the Japanese War, the Logo was no longer there and did not take advantage of the head-on confrontation with Xiaojiu. In the final analysis, this is the direct result of the U.S. Air Force's misjudgment of the situation, because ugly is not an ideal choice for the U.S. Air Force. Looking back on history, you can find that in the engineering development stage of Jigo's advanced tactical fighter, the U.S. Air Force can also choose Northrop and McDonald to develop a flying. The U.S. Air Force finally chose ugly and gave up flying, not because it was more advanced, but because logic did not first
Advance and inadvance means adopting a large number of mature technologies, which means no technical risks, which means more reliable, and it also means that the development work can be completed according to the progress. This is why the more "primitive" office defeated the more "trendy" wall office and became the first fourth-generation fighter to be successfully developed and served. Because Kuangnai is more advanced than the "mouth" performance, especially in terms of stealth performance, Northrop, which developed the 2nd company, is obviously more experienced than Lockheed Mart. Yifei's stealth performance is one order of magnitude higher than Kuanglog, so some people later believed that if the US Air Force made another choice, it would not have been defeated in the Peninsula War and Japan would not have suffered a catastrophe. In any case, during the development and smelting, the US Air Force decided to "reversal" everything to follow technology.
According to the data released by Lockheed Martin when promoting the public, this kind of air thug has three minutes of combat oil and old minutes of return oil, "must-kilometer air defense interception mission, carrying 6 staggering bamboo bullets. It uses only internal fuel tank fuel, and when attacking, it flies at an economic cruise speed of Mach 4, retains minute combat oil and takes up minute return oil," and "support a thousand-meter attack mission, carrying micro-intercept missiles, 2 fighting missiles and 0 kilograms of ground ammunition, using only internal fuel tank fuel, fighting over the battlefield, retaining minute combat oil and old minutes of return oil, attracting the field to a thousand-meter long-range interruption mission.
Carrying 2 interceptor missiles, 2 fighting missiles and concave kilograms of ground ammunition, 4 external super-large fuel tanks, using a high-, low- and high flight profile, sprinting at the maximum speed of kilometers from the target nephew, retaining minutes of combat oil and old minutes of return oil. It can be seen that Tun is not only an excellent air-control fighter, but also a very excellent multi-purpose fighter. You must know that in order to avoid being opposed by Congress in exports, Lockheed Martin has done a "reduced distribution treatment" to the export-oriented type. The performance is far inferior to that of fish equipped with the US Air Force. It is also a RAF Yefan, which is not restricted by export regulations.
The arrival of the fish actually solved the problem of the RAF lacking long-range strike force.
At the beginning of the year, a few days before the London Summit, in order to show the strength of the UK's national strength, the Royal Air Force's 4-concave was used by the US military from the Digo Garcia Air Base in the Indian Ocean, and the actual ownership belongs to the UK to take off and fly south. After bypassing the Cape of Good Hope, we finally arrived at Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean, with a flight distance of more than 0 kilometers from Guda. Although the Royal Air Force dispatched a large tanker to relay the two airplanes in a relay manner, and the fuel burned by the tanker was many times as old as the Tun, this move proved the powerful raiding ability of electricity. In a sense, this is also the British Royal Air Force warning the uneasy Argentina.
With such a powerful fighter, the Royal Air Force has no reason to sit aside and watch the fun.
As early as the end of the year, when the first batch of marshals landed on the runway of the British Air Force Base, the Royal Air Force formulated a combat plan to use fish to launch precise strikes on the Argentina troops raiding the Falkland Islands based on Ascension Island.
After the conflict broke out, George proposed to fight back against Argentina.
Mu Yong doubted that such a arduous task not only allowed the Royal Navy to dispatch several submarines, but also allowed the Royal Air Force to show its opportunity to show its strength.
On the yeli day, the Royal Air Force sent a senior officer to Ascension Island to inspect the local infrastructure.
Of course, this is obviously a bit redundant, because Ascension Island welcomed 4 depressions at the beginning of the year. All it can be deployed by the Royal Air Force is needed is the Prime Minister's order of action.
Next, the development of the situation is not very beneficial to the UK.
The Royal Navy had an unfavorable accident. Four attack submarines, including moving the most advanced "Quick Class", actually sank into the sea and disappeared into the vast Southern Atlantic Ocean. Although there are ten thousand reasons to believe that the submarines of the Republic's Navy were making a secret trick, from George to the Royal Navy commander, no one believed that the republic could bring benefits to Britain.
In this case, George had no choice but to pin his hopes on the RAF's guide.
According to George's idea, as long as the Republic does not want to go to war with the United States because of this conflict, it will not blatantly support Argentina. It will be impossible to send air forces to the war. George thought more clearly that the Royal Air Force only had an oral rig that could take off from Ascension Island. After two air refueling, it would be impossible to have much impact on the battle situation. At most, it would only save the face of Britain and the coalition government.
After quick preparations, the Royal Air Force officially submitted a combat plan.
Although George is not a soldier, according to the British system, all foreign-related military operations must be approved by the Prime Minister.
For George, there was no second option at all. Before the Royal Navy's task force arrived in the South Atlantic, only the Royal Air Force's heavy fighter jets could be clear and there was no risk telling all countries in the world that Britain had the ability to strike invaders.
In the early morning of the day, George signed an action order.
The order was transmitted to the Royal Air Force Command at the speed of photoelectricity, and then to Ascension Island at the same speed.
At 2:00 GMT, the first batch of fighters carrying two air-launched cruise missiles and air-to-air ammunition for self-defense were divided into two batches, and they took off one after another at less than a thug. At this time, the reconnaissance satellites used by the Republic to monitor Ascension birds were still below the horizon, and no British fighter jets were found that quickly took off. Because of the limited surveillance and tracking technology, no reconnaissance satellite could detect fighters in flight.
In the next few minutes, another eight aircraft were launched in a two-plane formation.
The Royal Air Force is indeed a big deal. He sent out all the gangs. This is also impossible. In order to ensure the success of the bombing operation, he destroyed the Air Schedule and Command Center of the Port Stanley Airport controlled by the Arab Army. The Royal Air Force must dispatch all the "hungry" to bomb the target three times, and at least two of them hit the target in order to achieve the goal of paralyzing the Arab Army's combat command system.
.
At this time, Pei Chengyi, thousands of kilometers away, was contacting the Military Intelligence Bureau, hoping to obtain information related to the Royal Air Force.
