Chapter 1468 Shipborne Early Warning Aircraft

It's completely careless, not because of their lack of strength, but because of tactical problems, for the proud island nation's naval aviation, they would make such a mistake!

Originally intended to ambush the opponent, but was ambushed by the opponent, this is simply unacceptable, and now, the American aircraft carrier formation is approaching Midway Island, and wants to retake Midway Island? There are no doors!

Standing on the Yamato, Pheasant Fifty-six will not be willing to fail. With Midway backed, he can take the main fleet and continue the decisive battle with the Americans! He still has two escort aircraft carriers, and the base on the island can also take off fighter planes. He has definitely not failed!

In the Pacific, the smoke is full of gunpowder.

"The key to this battle is that the Americans first discovered the main force of the island nation's fleet and monitored them at any time." When the news came back to the wolf's lair, Cyric and others were also analyzing the gains and losses of this battle.

"This shows that the Americans have mastered the technology of deploying radars to large reconnaissance aircraft." Although Cyric did not see it with his own eyes, he could easily analyze it by looking at the battle.

The key is that the Americans first discovered the island nation's aircraft carrier formation, especially throughout the night, the Americans have been monitoring the island nation's formation, but the island nation is not prepared, so after dawn, the island nation is still searching for traces of the American fleet. By the time the American attack had begun.

What kind of technology can achieve?

It must be the Americans who put the radar on the plane to monitor the sea. At night, the reconnaissance plane will not reveal its whereabouts, but it can firmly grasp the movements of the island nation's fleet.

With the passage of Cyric, World War II and history began to be differentiated and gradually drifted away, and many technologies were realized ahead of time because of Cyric's stimulation.

Even in history, after the Pearl Harbor incident, in order to solve the problem that ground and ship radars were difficult to detect low-altitude intrusion targets, the United States began to install high-power radars on carrier-based aircraft, so that they could detect low-altitude targets at long distances. aircraft and surface ships, and radio the radar information to the ship in a timely manner.

After several years of hard work, in the spring of 1944, engineers finally installed the AN/APS-20 radar (S-band) developed by General Electric on Grumman's TBM-3W "Avenger" carrier-based torpedo aircraft.

At the same time, the radar installation on the TBM-3W torpedo aircraft and its layout were modified: all weapons were removed, a fairing with a radar antenna was installed under the middle of the fuselage, and the aircraft became a big belly; in order to keep the course stable In order to improve the stability, an auxiliary vertical surface is installed on the horizontal stabilizer of the standard TBM-3W carrier, so that the tail becomes a three-vertical tail configuration.

After repeated experiments, this aircraft can detect aircraft flying at a low altitude of 150m at a distance of 100 to 120km under calm sea conditions, and can also detect ships at sea at a distance of 320km.

This distance is enough to track the opponent's surface formation with absolute safety. If it is not expected, the Americans must have made this thing.

Although the clutter cannot be filtered out due to some technical problems, when the sea conditions are bad, the airborne radar cannot detect the target normally due to the strong clutter reflected by the sea surface. But a lot of the time the Pacific is calm and totally fine.

As the world's first carrier-based early-warning aircraft, the TBM-3W already possesses the basic characteristics of an early-warning aircraft: a carrier aircraft, a high-power search radar, and a radar information transmission communication chain.

Under the guidance of Cyric, Germany's microelectronics technology has developed rapidly. Now, the output and performance of transistors are very stable. At the same time, German scientists have tried to build more semiconductor units on one semiconductor unit. The P-N junction has realized the function of the preliminary integrated circuit. Although there is no laser etching and other technologies, there are still many problems in its process, but they are constantly taking steps in the right direction.

"It seems that we have to step up the development of carrier-based early warning aircraft." Cyric said: "Move our radar on the plane, so that the radar can detect the situation on the sea farther away."

After all, there will definitely be a situation where the U.S. Navy and the German Navy will fight in the Atlantic Ocean in the future. In order to avoid being suppressed by the Americans, it is necessary to develop a carrier-based early warning aircraft. Even if the performance is backward and cannot filter out clutter, it must be solved. No problem.

"Yes, we will deploy it," Speer said.

"Although the Americans won the naval battle and damaged the navy of the island countries, the island countries have already taken root in Midway, and it is not so easy to win the Pacific War." Cyric said: "If there are island countries to contain the Americans, we will You can rest assured for the time being. Let’s take a look at our situation on the Eastern Front.”

When it comes to the Eastern Front, everyone's expressions are filled with joy.

"Führer Cyric, now, the Battle of Kyiv is basically over. We have eliminated at least 700,000 Soviet troops on the Kyiv battlefield. This is a great victory!" Keitel said loudly: "We also started the war. The biggest siege since then!"

The middle road goes south, and after the encirclement is closed, the fate of the Soviet troops in the encirclement is doomed. Although they bravely broke through, the number of people who can break through must be a few. It is estimated that the total number of people who broke through is ten thousand people. Left and right, most of them were wiped out.

This means that another powerful force of the Soviet Union was eliminated, and the pillar supporting the Soviet building collapsed again. Now, the Soviet building is already crumbling!

Everyone's faces were full of excitement. After the defeat of Kyiv, the army of 700,000 people was solved, and the German army had only one task left, which was to rush to Moscow in one go!

"In order to boost morale, Moscow is preparing for a military parade," Scherner said. "They said they wanted to make up for the regret of not holding a military parade on May 1."

The Soviets, now that they are out of luck, can't beat them head on, they actually want to regain their dignity on the parade ground!

Hearing this news, Cyric immediately remembered that in history, the Soviets held the inspiring military parade of the October Revolution, which greatly boosted the morale of the whole country, and was even considered to be the defender of the Soviet Union. The turning point of the war.

Stalin is proud, Zhukov is resourceful, but unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, everything is in vain!

"Prepare for me, I'm going to Kyiv." Cyric said, "We're in Kyiv, holding a victory parade!"

Going to Kyiv? Immediately everyone was stunned, and Scherner immediately objected: "No, President Cyric, you can't go there, it's very dangerous!"
