Chapter 381 FX2400 Glide Guided Bomb

On a bomber, the captain with the highest operational authority is the commander, who is responsible for directing the flight of the entire aircraft, with only one exception, that is, dropping bombs.

When dropping bombs, the bombardier has the highest authority. He makes the plane fly level and turns, and now, when he calls the bomb, it is also his time to operate.

As the button was pressed, inside the belly, a huge bomb rolled down.

When the bomb rolled out from the inside of the belly, the whole plane trembled, and then the plane was light.

The current JU-290, with its enhanced pylon and body, can carry a maximum of nine tons of ammunition. Of course, at this time, the flight performance will deteriorate sharply, which is only an experimental data of the maximum load.

Under normal circumstances, it can carry six tons of bombs, which will not have much impact on maneuverability. If it wants to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, the bomb load must be limited to five tons.

But now, this bomber only carries one bomb, a special bomb developed and produced by a secret weapons research institution in Libya, which can only be mounted on this bomber. This bomb is code-named FX2400. glide-guided bomb.

From the code name, you can know that this bomb has a full weight of 2,400 kilograms! This is an unprecedented big bomb! And this kind of big bomb, the only target that has been developed is the enemy's warship!

In fact, in terms of carrying capacity, it is no problem to mount two bombs, but now, only one can be mounted. Just look at the bomb that was thrown, and you will know why.

This bomb is very similar to an ordinary free-fall bomb, but it is very large, more than four meters long. However, compared with ordinary bombs, it also has a pair of horizontal wings!

Yes, with a pair of horizontal wings in the middle of the bomb, the bomb looks like a small monoplane.

It does not have any power, and it all moves forward by gliding. At the same time, its horizontal wings, plus the wings at the tail, are only used to change the course!

Ordinary bombers, after dropping the bomb, immediately accelerated to return, but now, after this big bomb was dropped, the bomber did not fly away immediately, but the speed was even slower.

At this time, Ludwig in front of him was in high tension. Through the sight, he stared at his target closely. At the same time, his hand, on the operating lever on the side, went back and forth. fiddling.

In the field of vision, the bomb will become smaller and smaller, but at the tail of the bomb, a flashing signal light is constantly shaking. This signal light is the location of the bomb.

And Ludwig needs to control the bomb and hit his target accurately!

Yes, this bomb is one of the most secret weapons in Germany. It is not a free-falling bomb, but a guided bomb controlled by someone!

Ordinary bombs, after falling, the trajectory is out of control. In this case, the accuracy of bombing will of course be very low. If you want to improve the accuracy of bombing, there is not only dive bombing!

Install a control system on the bomb, so that the bomb can change its flight attitude in the air, then the accuracy can be greatly improved. The horizontal bomber in the high altitude needs such a control system most!

In later generations, the air force without guided weapons is the lastest, and the advanced guidance system has long occupied the arsenal of the air forces of various countries. If the price is cheap, it is GPS guidance, and the higher-end one is laser guidance.

But now, this kind of technology is impossible to come out. The electronic technology of this era is too backward, and now, the only thing that can be used is radio control.

Just like the remote-controlled model aircraft, it is controlled by radio, and the joystick in Ludwig's hand is the control handle, which sends out signals to adjust the attitude of the bomb.

At the same time, Ludwig's means of observation, only his eyes, were completely controlled manually.

The target is on the left, lean to the left! Ludwig pulled his lever, and the bomb, after reacting for half a second, followed to the left.

No, it's too far off, go right! Ludwig continued to move his operating lever in the opposite direction. At this moment, his spirit was extremely nervous, and his heartbeat was as high as a hundred times per second!

If he wants to hit the target, he must rely on the precise operation of the bombardier. No matter how many times he has practiced in peacetime, he is still a little nervous when it comes to actual combat.

The handle can only send four commands, up and down, left and right, and after the radio receiver at the tail of the bomb receives the signal, it manipulates the spoiler on the wing to correct the course.

In this way, due to the poor responsiveness of the control system, the bomb is left, right, up, and down, like a swaying drunk walking.

Sweat kept coming out of his forehead, and Ludwig gritted his teeth and continued to operate the bomb.

In training, his performance is the best, now, must not miss! This is the result of years of hard work by the Libyan base personnel!

The base in Libya has always been used as a high-end secret weapons research and development base. As early as a few years ago, Cyric proposed the idea of ​​this radio-controlled bomb. It takes a lot of effort to become a reality.

Not to mention, this remote-controlled bomb is only the first step, and Cyric even proposed the idea of ​​using a rocket-powered "flying torpedo". (In this day and age, there is no such thing as anti-ship missiles, powered anti-ship weapons known as torpedoes.)

The development of several subsequent weapons has been difficult, but only this first remote-controlled bomb has been successful.

That kind of complex anti-jamming scheme has not yet been added. It can be said that if the British knew, as long as the radio interference was released, the bomb could be rendered ineffective.

However, the first use of this weapon is absolutely unexpected for the British. This is the first use of precision-guided weapons in the history of human warfare!

The target is very large. Even at high altitudes, through the sights, you can see the wide flight deck of the target. Ludwig knew that he had to drop the bomb accurately in the middle to blow the target into two pieces!

Not good, too much to the right, then to the left!

Sweat oozes from the palms of his hands. In fact, this artificial guidance process is not long, but in Ludwig's sense at this time, it seems to be a century.

The FX2400 gliding guided bomb, swaying left and right, moves towards its own target, move forward! Its prey is on the dock, the pride of the British Royal Navy, the Royal Ark aircraft carrier!
