Chapter 1426 Reconnaissance at an Altitude of 15,000 Kilometers

In this era, the German Junker-290 bomber is no longer a secret. Its passenger aircraft model flies back and forth between continents, and its original bomber model has emerged in various wars. Even the American B-29 is considered a copy of the Junkers-290.

Now, when the German Junker-290 bomber appeared at the Tehran Air Force Base, it still aroused the envy of the Iranian Air Force in the base.

That is simply a behemoth!

Four engines with a power of more than 2,000 horsepower, driving dozens of tons of aircraft, this is simply the largest weapon in the history of human aviation!

Yes, in the era when the Junkers-390 was still a top secret, the Junkers-290 is already the most powerful aircraft in this era. Its huge fuselage has endless beauty.

One after another Junkers-290 landed at the base, and the ground crew also noticed that among these planes, there was also a special plane, a twin-engine slender fuselage plane!

"Come on for us." When the plane slid onto the tarmac, the crew of the plane got off the plane, and they didn't stay here for too long. For them, it was just a part of the flight path. Just a temporary stop.

The captain looked at the operator of the refueling truck with confidence, and had already changed to his own ground crew. The fuel in this refueling truck was not the usual aviation gasoline, but a special aviation diesel.

Smelling the smell of diesel in the air, the crew started their own breakfast in the open space of the airport.

Those who arrived here in advance have already prepared well. The meals of the Iranians are not used by ordinary people. They eat all the pilot recipes that are matched.

In the process of eating, they formed a circle one by one, basically as a unit. They lived together, fought together, and cooperated with each other tacitly.

While eating, they looked at the blue sky above their heads: "Today is a good weather for flying, the meteorological department predicted that the sky above the target is also quite clear, this time we must shoot all the targets in place at once."

It was Captain Lucas who spoke, and when he received the task, he was still a little puzzled.

They have flown in the Ural Mountains before, but they have to detour to Iran for the first time. This is a new route. As a soldier, he had to obey orders.

Hearing his words, the navigator Stigler said: "Don't worry, although it is a new route, I have already memorized all the landmarks along the way, and we will definitely not fly wrong."

As a navigator, his task is very heavy. He must bring the crew to the target accurately. After receiving the task, he is the busiest one.

"Finally, although we did not find that the Soviets had fighter jets along the way, we must also maintain a high degree of vigilance. Our flight altitude this time will be around 15,000 kilometers."

Hearing his voice, everyone showed a knowing smile. At this height, they are born kings!

For Junkers, the Junkers-390 has allowed them to reach the top level of the aviation system, but they are still not satisfied. Higher altitude is their stage.

However, Berlin's continued improvement of the Junkers-390 has not been taken seriously.

As the helm of the Junker Company, Dr. Juncker knows that the top management has focused on the jet bomber, thinking that is the future direction, but Dr. Juncker also knows that the jet bomber has many shortcomings and low power. The range is small, and the piston bomber has not yet reached its limit.

When the superiors were unwilling to focus on improving the Junker-390, Dr. Junker could only compete against this reconnaissance aircraft.

Historically, the dedicated high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft using diesel engines, the Junkers-86P, only had a ceiling of 13,000 kilometers. However, in their design, the dedicated Junkers-86P-3 was able to fly as high as a The terrifying monster of 17,000 kilometers, driven by a special composite supercharger, allows the engine to work normally at this altitude, but it requires too many resources.

It is a pity that it has only stayed on the design drawings in history, but now, Junkers has raised its own funds and made it out.

Although it has not reached the historical design target of 17,000 kilometers, but at 15,000 kilometers, it can fly easily and freely!

In this era, very few Soviet planes can fly above 10,000 meters, so they can completely ignore any interception.

It can also be seen from the design that this aircraft does not have any self-defense weapons, and its magic weapon for survival is height!

After eating, he took a short rest, and then Lucas took his crew and got back into his plane.

The engines on both sides start normally, and the peculiar rattling sound makes people feel very pleasing to the ears. Compared with the jet engine being scrapped in a few hundred hours, the piston engine is much more reliable. Now Germany is in these aspects. All have matured, and now for this transition flight, the engines are maintenance-free.

After rolling over the long runway, the reconnaissance plane pulled up from the runway and flew toward the northern sky.

Soon, the calm surface of the Caspian Sea was under the fuselage. When they flew over the Caspian Sea, they also climbed to an altitude of 15,000 kilometers. After leveling the plane, they aimed at the target position and began to fly in a straight line.

The long flight has only just begun. At a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, when it flew over the target, it must have been the afternoon. Under the golden sunlight, the target must be quite clear.

As the pilots of long-range reconnaissance planes, we must learn to kill this time. When they were in the long-range flight test, they spent a full seventy hours on the plane!

The reconnaissance plane flew smoothly toward the Soviet hinterland without attracting any attention.

Due to the decisive battle with Germany on the Western Front, there are not many fighter jets stationed in the hinterland, and there is no reliable and effective long-range radar.

The slow-flowing Volga and Ural rivers flow through the vast areas in front of the Ural Mountains in Western Siberia. Below these areas, there are precious black treasures.

oil!

At this time, in the Dumaz oilfield, tall drilling equipment is being placed nervously, and countless personnel are working hard here.

Standing on a high dirt slope, a middle-aged man with a grim expression held a leather whip in his hand.

No one dared to disobey him, he was the most terrible person in the Soviets, Beria.
