Chapter 77 The Choice of the Royal Air Force
...In a sense, Pei Chengyi only guessed half of it. It was not Du Qiwei who commanded the Royal Air Force to fight. The US National Security Advisor only provided the Royal Air Force with a "reference suggestion" according to the agreement reached by the US President and the British Prime Minister on the hotline, which is a fairly complete combat strategy for the Royal Air Force.
As early as a few years ago, when the US Air Force began to purchase 4号 in large quantities, according to the Republic Air Force, it provided extremely valuable references, thereby greatly reducing the time required to formulate regular combat plans and improving the combat efficiency of the army.
What Duchiway provided to the Royal Air Force was a similar combat strategy.
Of course, before handing over to the British, Duqiwei improved the details of the combat plan according to his understanding of the conflict situation. He mainly emphasized two issues: one is that it is likely that General Pei Chengyi, who commanded the Argentina army to fight, and the other is that he must kill the rapid fleet at all costs.
From this we can see that Mu Chengyi's judgment is not wrong.
Duchwit has no choice, or the Royal Air Force has no choice.
If the fast fleet returns to Riogayegos, unless the British authorities decide to burn the war to Argentina, so that the Republic has reason to send troops to the war, thereby detonating the world war, otherwise they can only wait patiently for a few days and wait until the fleet arrives on the island of Marriott again before starting operations. Because the fleet's second transport must be reinforcements, and mainly heavy equipment and ammunition, it can only be destroyed before the fleet arrives on the island of Marriott or before unloading, otherwise the royal family on the island will be
The Marines will be in trouble. If only thugs receive heavy fighter jets and do not assist forces, it is almost impossible to intercept fast fleets at sea. Because the Argent army is still attacking the port, and it is very likely to strengthen the offensive efforts in the next two days and strive to control some of the port's docks so that the fleet can enter the port to unload the cargo. Therefore, as long as the fleet arrives again, even if the speedboat can be sunk, it may not be able to destroy the heavy equipment and ammunition carried.
There is no other way, and we must do it before the fleet leaves the island.
If the Royal Air Force chooses, they will definitely take action in the first half of the night.
The problem is that the choice is not in the hands of the RAF.
After handing over the combat plan to the British, Ducheway called General Thomas, the commander-in-chief of the British Royal Air Force, and clearly told the British veteran who had fought side by side with him on the battlefield of Shulang that he would never attack in the first half of the night and should choose to launch an attack before dawn. In order to make Thomas believe, Ducheway mentioned that not only Pei Chengyi was commanding the battle, but the Argentine Air Force had obtained dozens of passive probes that could be installed on fighters.
The test system is likely to have a small, ultimate improved fighter with performance that is comparable to the 4-concave. Choosing to take action before dawn can minimize the possibility of being intercepted. Of course, Duchway did not forget the most important point, that is, the difference between sunk a speedboat and sunk an old speedboat is not very different, which will force the Argentine authorities to think twice before sending a fast fleet again, thus gaining a few days for the British army. In fact, the British army only needs a few days.
According to the situation on the battlefield, even if the fast fleet is thugs and ships out of the port on the afternoon of the 2nd, returns to the island again on the morning of the 3rd, and delivers heavy equipment to the island landing troops on the afternoon of the 3rd, the Royal Marines will hold on for up to day and surrender on the afternoon of the 4th. Ironically, the task force will arrive in the waters where combat aircraft can be sent to the island on the morning of the day, and will provide air support to the Royal Marines on the island at the afternoon of the day. In other words, what the British army needs is not a few days, but a day. As long as we can find ways to make the Afghan transport fleet arrive on the island one day later, the results will be completely different.
In Duchwie's words, as long as a yacht can be blown up, the Argentine authorities can be disorganized.
At that time, even if Pei Chengyi knew very well how precious time was, the Argentine authorities would not know, and thus missed the best opportunity to capture the Cathedral Island in the quarrel.
Duchiwei is outside, and with their personal relationship, Thomas naturally would not object.
As for what to do, Ducheway doesn't need to worry about. No matter what, the Royal Air Force is well-known. In addition to lacking hands-on guidance, Ducheway has provided help within his ability. If the Royal Air Force is not doing well, I'm afraid General Thomas should resign.
According to the arrangements of the Royal Air Force, the main force of the bombing operation was the
Of course, the planes dispatched must be not only heavy fighters.
Because it only needs to deal with many old speedboats, each Yen carries only 2 "super cyclone hypersonic multi-purpose anti-ship missiles, which are actually air-on-opposite missiles, that is, they can carry different seekers to attack ground targets of various natures according to the mission needs. It is only because of the high cost, so they are rarely used to deal with small targets. They are mainly used to deal with warships and strategic targets. In a sense, the "super cyclone" is not a % real anti-ship missile, but a multi-purpose missile developed by several European countries such as the United Kingdom to reduce the country's "Eight". Every 2 fighters deal with 2 to 3 targets by cross-attack. In order to increase the range, Yen did not use the empty ammunition hanger to carry ammunition, but an ultra-large internal secondary fuel tank was equipped in the left ammunition bay. The internal secondary fuel tank of the internal secondary fuel tank first appeared on the Logic series fighter aircraft, mainly to increase the load of oil without destroying stealth, thus carrying only the young interceptor missile and 2 fighting missiles.
In this way, when carrying an extra-large secondary fuel tank, the fleet can perform its first air refueling about 3 hours after takeoff, that is, there are still thugs from the Malay Island. Then choose a more roundabout route to avoid the air defense fighter jets in the northeast direction of the Malay Island and enter from the southeast or northwest direction. Because Argentina is on the west side of the Malay Island, the Afghan fighter jets bombing the Malay Island will return from the north of the Malay Island, so the masturbation fleet
It will enter from the southeast of the island of Mahara and launch a missile about 3 kilometers away from Stanley Port. The group of mahara will turn back after reflecting the missile, and the missile will actively find the target to attack according to the target information that has been input. If everything goes well, the group of mahara will complete the attack about 2 hours after completing the attack, that is, it will meet the refueling group again at about 0 kilometers away from the island of Mahara. After the second refueling, it will return to Ascension Island at the left and right.
In order to cooperate with the Qin aircraft group, the Royal Air Force had to dispatch at least two batches of 8 refueling aircraft. Because the first batch of 4 refueling aircraft will only refuel the fighter after the flight blade kilometer, it has to be prepared to operate the refueling aircraft and provide fuel for the first batch of 4 refueling aircraft when the first batch of 4 refueling aircraft returns, otherwise the refueling aircraft will not expect to return to Ascension Island. In other words, the Royal Air Force will dispatch a total of thugs to receive large refueling aircraft. Fortunately, this refueling aircraft has long arrived in Ascension Island.
Come on, it’s not a big problem, it’s not much difficulty.
For the entire attack operation, the biggest problem is how to find the target and lock the target.
Before attack, you can use the speedboat information provided by the Royal Marine Scouts on the island to let the missile remember the signal characteristics of all speedboats and determine the attack order for the missile. Because it is equipped with the most advanced neural network computer, the "Super Tornado" is very intelligent, and it does not require too much help when attacking the target. The problem is that as a missile, the exact information of the target must be needed before attacking. Simply put, if the speedboat has left the missile's attack range, even the advanced missile will be useless.
To this end, the Royal Air Force thought of many ways, such as asking the Royal Marines on the island to provide assistance.
The problem is that not only the British Royal Marines are active on the island, but the most powerful one is not the Royal Marines. The infantry units of the Argentine Army are not worth worrying about, otherwise the Royal Marines would not have been able to last until now. What really made the Royal Marines frightened was the mercenary. In the battle of the Laotian, at least the officers and soldiers of the Biming Royal Marines became the result of mercenary snipers. In order to figure out the situation of the cobalt land, the Royal Marines sent 7 reconnaissance teams out. They were all the best reconnaissance units. As a result, only the thugs and the reconnaissance units completed the task, to be precise, half of them, and the other six and a half reconnaissance units all went without returning. What made the Royal Marines even lose face was that after fighting against Laotian, they not only did not catch a mercenary, but even did not.
I met with mercenaries. In the words of a captured Royal Marine officer, it was not the Argentine army's tanks and heavy artillery that defeated the Royal Marines, but the elusive mercenaries, especially those snipers who never fired empty guns. Decades later, the Republic lifted the relevant information. In the Hua'an Legion, in addition to the boss Shan Ruilin who was a special forces from the General Staff directly under the Special Forces, there were also Ming's retired special forces, eight "quasi-special forces" who did not pass the admission exam and ace scout whose combat effectiveness was no less than that of the special forces. Although the Republic did not announce the specific situation of these people, nor did it announce the results they achieved, it is certain that many special forces and quasi-special forces are enough to turn the small-scale Argentine port into the tomb of the Royal Marines.
The Royal Marines are unreliable, so they can only rely on themselves.
To this end, the Royal Air Force not only sent two long-range patrol aircraft, but also sent the air charging aircraft that was undergoing finalization tests.
Charging aircraft is nothing new. The Republic was developing this area long before the thug got drunk.
In fact, some people have long predicted that with the rapid development of aerodynamic technology, after the working efficiency of electric propulsion devices exceeds that of fuel propulsion devices, charging aircraft will replace refueling machines. In addition, the progress of aviation technology is very fast, especially the rise of a large number of civil aviation projects, which puts higher requirements on the air stagnation time of aircraft. Therefore, not only the air force of major powers in the world attaches great importance to the development of chargers, but many private enterprises also attach great importance to the development of this field.
For example, the Republic's "Sun Rising Tourism Company" proposed an incredible tourism project, building a large aircraft to fly westward at the same speed as the Earth's autobiography, so as to always be at a certain time period, such as early morning, providing passengers with a special life experience of several days to dozens of days. To achieve this project, in addition to seven super-large aircraft with fast enough speeds, if the route is chosen to be on the equatorial hill, the flight speed of Qiu must not be lower than that of the hourly thug-type controllable fusion reactor. However, because the technical requirements of small controlled fusion reactors are high and they are military secrets in various countries, the possibility of civil use is not high.
Of course, electric aircraft have more extensive military uses.
The most famous one is definitely the Republic's "electric motor group" of thugs, Ganjiu and other large transport aircraft. In addition to fighter jets and bombers with very high speed requirements, the Republic's Air Force was the first to achieve electrification. And it can be predicted that it will not take long before the Republic's Air Force will be fully electrified.
There is no doubt that the Royal Air Force, which claims to be the number one in Europe, will not be willing to be the last.
Like the Republic Air Force, the Royal Air Force first supported the aviation force to promote electric aircraft. Because Britain is not a world power and does not need to send troops to the world, and there is no potential threat in the surrounding areas, there is no need to send tens of thousands of combat troops to a nearby country, so the Royal Air Force's support for the aviation force is not large, and the only old transport aircraft are also assisted by the United States. Relatively speaking, the Royal Air Force's maritime patrol mission is even heavier. Because the UK adopted a dual regulation, that is, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy are developing maritime patrol aircraft, among which the Royal Navy is mainly responsible for maritime patrol missions related to the fleet, while the Royal Air Force undertakes independent maritime patrol missions, so the Royal Air Force attaches more importance to long-range patrol aircraft, and requires a range of thousands of kilometers to reach a country and a thug aircraft.
Mu Yong doubted that on large aircraft, the advantages of electric propulsion are the most obvious.
According to the research results of the Republic in the field of civil aviation, even if only a 6-level composite battery is used, the performance of electric aircraft exceeds that of traditional aircraft.
By the year of Liben, with the launch of the 8th-level composite batteries on the market, the 6th-level composite batteries will no longer be a rare product.
That is why the Royal Air Force began to develop electric patrol aircraft in Tiannian, and was established in Listone. Before the outbreak of the Cabernet conflict, it was already in service. Unfortunately, the charging aircraft, which is a supporting project that cooperated with the United States to develop large electric transport aircraft, was not successfully developed. Until the outbreak of the war, only one prototype was tested at the Royal Air Force Base in Belize. Fortunately, the main testing work of this sample aircraft, namely, the test work related to flight safety, has been completed, and only the charging efficiency test has not been completed. In other words, if necessary, it can participate in combat operations.
The two long-range patrol aircraft have only one mission, that is, they act as communicator between the Marines and the Royal Marines.
According to the arrangement of the Royal Air Force, the long-range patrol aircraft will take the lead and contact the Royal Marines. After confirming that the speedboat is still in the cobalt land, contact the Royal Air Force on Ascension Island, and then provide guidance for the sister-in-law's aircraft group. After the attack is completed, contact the Royal Marines on the island to confirm the bombing results.
In other words, the two remote patrol aircraft played the role of early warning aircraft and command aircraft.
In fact, it is precisely because of this that the Royal Air Force failed to take action at Moon Blade Sun.
If you want to play the role of the early warning aircraft, even if you do not need to be equipped with a long-range radar, you still need to add a lot of electronic equipment.
Because the modification work could not be completed before April Blade Day, after receiving the news that the rapid fleet arrived at the Marriott Island, the RAF did not act, but waited until the United States issued a warning before starting to take action.
Anyway, the Royal Air Force went through a lot of trouble for this operation.
The problem is, it doesn’t matter how much you pay.
In fact, from the very beginning, some RAF officers opposed the bombing of the fast fleet. Although the main opponents were some young officers, they put forward a very critical reason, that is, after bombing the Aviation Control Center in Port Stanley, the RAF's ultra-long-range strike capability was no secret. Since the fast fleet was related to whether the Argentine army could succeed in the Falkland Islands, the Argentine army would definitely protect the fast fleet at all costs and prevent forces that could threaten the fast fleet. Without escort force, electronic support force, reconnaissance force, and only the troopers could not carry many air ammunition. The action of attacking the Argentine fast fleet was tantamount to death.
The young officer's concerns are not unreasonable, but the RAF general cannot not understand this.
It is obvious that Pei Chengyi's judgment is not wrong, and the Royal Air Force has no choice.
The battle that happened in the early morning of the day is destined to not be earth-shaking, but is destined to have a decisive impact on the conflict between the Cambodian Islands.
Later, almost everyone admitted that it was this air battle that made the Second Cavaliers War unsurprising.
