Our plane is coming, but the plane is different from the plane.
Lao Zhao saw clearly that there was no bomb hanging under our plane. Well, there are two things that look like big bombs, but in fact, they should be auxiliary fuel tanks.
This is also a chicken rib of VTOL fighters.
The VTOL fighter does not need an airport and runway. As long as there is a place to accommodate the fighter, it can fly. Therefore, it greatly increases its flexibility in performing tasks. Even if the airport is bombed, it can fly, and even a small deck can take off. There are many platforms that can carry it. Even container ships can carry it at critical times.
However, it also has some disadvantages, that is, the voyage is greatly shortened.
The VTOL fighter adopts the form of pulling onions in dry land. In the take-off stage, it consumes a lot of energy. At the same time, the greater the weight at take-off, the more energy it consumes and the more fuel it needs. It is consumed in the take-off stage, and there is less left for flight.
The maximum bomb carrying capacity of Jacques 38 fighter is 2 tons, but in this case, it is only a 100 km combat radius. For a fighter, it can definitely be called an airport guard.
Therefore, as long as possible, the Harrier fighter will take off by sliding jump. At this time, it saves a lot of fuel and can carry a lot of plug-ins. When it comes to landing, it is OK to land vertically, because at that time, the body will reduce a lot of weight.
Jacques 38 does not have this ability. It can only take off vertically.
This defect can't be solved until the next generation of fighters are developed. The front lift engine is replaced by the lift fan, which can greatly save energy. This is the same reason as the turbojet engine is replaced with a turbofan. Then, the rear engine is also upgraded, especially the increase of thrust weight ratio, which is of great benefit to the fighters, This means that under the same thrust, the self weight of the engine is greatly reduced, and more fuel or bombs can be carried.
Only when a new generation of aircraft is successfully developed can it carry all its ammunition and have a range of about 1000 kilometers or even higher under the condition of vertical take-off. Only to this extent can it be regarded as barely enough.
Now, we have to find a way to overcome this chicken rib. For the current situation, Jacques 38 in the sky needs a long voyage. They need to persist for a period of time until the follow-up troops come. Therefore, when they hear that there is a situation here, their choice is not to increase the mount, but to unload the original mount.
Jacques 38 does not have any in-flight weapons. All weapons are hung on the hanger of the wing, and there is no place to mount them on the belly.
It has two pylons under each wing fixed section. A total of 2000 kg of external stores can be hung, including the machine gun pod, which is equipped with 23 mm double barrel gsh-23 machine gun, rocket launcher, 500 kg bomb, "black bull" short-range air-to-air missile, armor breaking anti-ship missile, "aphid" air-to-air missile or auxiliary fuel tank.
Now, the original bomb has been removed and replaced with an auxiliary fuel tank to provide more fuel to increase the range. However, although there is no armed in the aircraft, it is generally fixed. There are two 225p 23mm machine guns in the middle of the wing. After the machine gun is mounted, it has to coordinate with the fire control system. Therefore, after general adjustment, It won't move again.
Now, the four Jacques 38 are mounted in this state. In this case, can they pose a threat to the opposite warship?
It's a Flying Leopard or a J-11 fighter.
For the Han country, the significance of the existence of vertical takeoff and landing fighters is the area of these islands. Now, four fighters are here to fight the fire. Their arrival has indeed changed the current situation, because these monkey warships have no air defense capability!
Think about the embarrassment of the brigade level in the Han Dynasty. Air defense can only rely on manual anti-aircraft guns, which makes them dare not come out when they encounter disputes. Now, the same embarrassment is in the navy of monkey country. They don't even have anti-aircraft guns on their warships!
Are you going to shoot in the air with their 76mm naval guns? The trajectory of this kind of naval gun's shell is curved. Without advanced fire control radar, it can't hit at all. Moreover, the firing speed is slow. In fact, using anti-aircraft guns to deal with aircraft has long fallen behind.
"It's jacques-38!" at this time, when the target was found on the warship radar of monkey country, the fighter plane was also approaching rapidly. Soon, it was time to visually identify it. Monkeys were also familiar with this kind of aircraft. After all, they had the painful experience of the last battle.
Is it a VTOL fighter?
"They only carry auxiliary fuel tanks and machine guns!" when the monkeys found this, they were immediately excited. They had no bombs. Do they still want to interfere with their own actions? Are you kidding? This is the toothless wolf!
Don't be afraid, move on!
"Attention, demonstrative shooting." on Jacques 38, the captain gave a loud order. Then, four fighter planes swooped down from the sky, and the four fighter planes formed a row side by side. Then, on both sides of the wings, flames gathered and black smoke rose.
"Bang!" the 23mm machine gun fired at the sea! Each fighter has two machine guns, four gun tubes, four fighters and 16 gun tubes. They shoot wildly at the sea. In a moment, countless 23mm shells form a barrage and fly towards the sea. Then, they explode on the sea, forming a terrible death zone. If any warship is covered, it will be torn to pieces!
The 23 mm gun carried by the fighter plane mainly uses grenades. It kills the enemy by explosive fragments. Between the grenades, there are armor piercing incendiary bombs. These grenades explode on the sea, and the armor piercing incendiary bombs chirp. For a moment, it is very lively.
Monkeys, dare you come? Let's try what it feels like to be hit by a 23mm gun!
The scene was huge. Of course, shooting was only a moment. When the four fighters pulled up and finished shooting, there was already a black smoke rising area on the sea.
"It's spectacular!" Richard shouted. "How did they do it?"
The four fighters move neatly and uniformly, which is not easy to do. In particular, they dive, attack, pull up and aim at the same target. Obviously, they have undergone strict training.
These people are amazing!
Richard was surprised.
This is also a warning to each other. Now we are shooting at the sea. If you get closer, don't blame us for being rude!
Four missile boats may not be able to deal with your whole formation, but with our four planes, if you really dare to approach, you can't run away!
