Chapter 897 Want Stuka (Plus 1)
Fifty-six pheasants felt the darkness in front of them, impossible? I came here this time, but I was full of hope!
Even if the Junkers-290 is not provided, it is fine to provide a few Atlantic airliners! It is also the most effective weapon to go back to the island country to refit and install bombs. Especially, the guided bombs owned by Germany are even more coveted by the island nation's navy!
Now, Cyric actually said it was impossible!
"The performance of the Junker-290 has been over-interpreted." Cyric said: "It is known to the outside world that the Junker-290 is modified from the Atlantic airliner, and the modification needs to increase the strength of the body and the load capacity. Therefore, As a result, the flight performance will be degraded a little. On the maximum range, it can only fly about 5,000 nautical miles, and it simply does not support taking off from your homeland, reaching the target and returning.
Cyric made it very clear that the flight range is not enough. That big guy can't take off from an aircraft carrier. It can only be a land airport. The one-way route is enough, but the round-trip is not enough.
That's a strategic bomber, it's expensive, and it's definitely not a one-time consumable! Can't fly until it runs out of fuel and throw it away.
"So, what about the special bomb mounted on it?" Pheasant fifty-six continued to ask.
"It's impossible, because the bomb is too heavy and can only be carried by a special plane, and other planes can't carry it," Cyric said.
Junkers-290 and gliding guided bombs are Germany's most powerful strategic weapons. This kind of weapon can never be exported. The islanders want it, but there is no door.
In addition to preventing leaks, Cyric has more considerations. For example, Germany has not formed an alliance with the island country, nor does it plan to do so. Now both sides have common enemies, one Soviet Union and one United States.
So, when the Soviet war, and the American war ended? And the island country, will they become enemies?
Even if the island countries want to attack the United States now, which is beneficial to Germany, Germany cannot send its own strategic weapons to the island countries, no matter how high the price they charge.
Just like the United States, the United States was allies with the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom in World War II. However, the B-29 of the United States was never provided to the Soviet Union, nor to the United Kingdom. It was used by the United States.
Just say no, it's not appropriate after all, what else can the other party say by using performance to talk about things?
Sure enough, after hearing Cyric's words, Pheasant Fifty-Six's eyes gradually darkened: "Then, we can't expect to use your tactics in Scapa Flow."
"Of course, even if it is sold to you bombers, it is not a matter of the island nation's navy. The Army Air Force will definitely want it." Cyric said.
This is also true.
Before and after World War II, airplanes were still a new thing. Some countries became independent and formed a special air force, while some countries developed in the original military services and established the Army Air Force and the Naval Air Force. The island country is the latter. , as is the United States.
Why not make it independent? Of course, it is related to the competition between the military services. In island countries, the conflict between the navy and the army is very large. There is often a quarrel in order to win funds. .
It is common sense that the Army Air Force controls the fighter and bomber units, and the Navy controls the aircraft carrier force. Under such circumstances, if the Navy gets bombers, the Army will definitely come over and disturb it.
Hearing this, Pheasant Fifty-Six sighed and planned to use such a large bomber to make contributions. It seems impossible, so this time, is it a waste of time?
"We will fully support your operation this time, so you can choose the carrier aircraft of the Navy at the cost price." Cyric said.
The strategic weapons of the Air Force cannot be given to island countries. However, the Navy's carrier aircraft is not a big problem. After all, in Cyric's plan, the German Navy will be equipped with jets in three to four years. The fighter jets are out. By then, the propeller aircraft will be outdated. In this case, it is no problem to sell the carrier-based aircraft to the islanders.
Of course, in terms of price, it won't be too much, just like the original Panther tank.
Carrier aircraft, any choice? Hearing this, Pheasant Fifty-Six was still overjoyed.
Germany's aviation industry is quite developed. As early as a few years ago, the German Stuka bomber was already famous in the world. The sharp whistling brought a terrible death, which was enough to make the enemy fear.
The navy of the island nation, the performance of carrier-based aircraft is also good, especially the Zero fighter, which has completed all project test flights and has first-class maneuverability. Therefore, in terms of carrier-based fighter jets, we have no shortcomings.
And this time, if you want to attack, the bomber is the most important. To say that the carrier-based bomber, the current aircraft carrier is still dominated by the 97 ship attack. This type of aircraft is mainly used to throw torpedoes, and it can also carry out horizontal bombing. But no dive bombing capability.
The island country's dive bombers are mainly based on the 99th ship explosion. This type of aircraft was only put into production this year and began to be equipped with the island country's aircraft carrier. However, like the Zero War, the weakness of this aircraft is still light and small. Small ammo load.
For example, when carrying bombs, you can only carry 3 small 250kg bombs. When bombing large American warships, you need to hit more than one!
So, after hearing Cyric's promise, without even thinking about it, Pheasant Fifty-Six said, "We hope that you will provide us with a sufficient number of Stuka carrier-based dive bombers."
Stuka? Cyric was also an accident. Originally, he thought that the other party would ask for his own HS129 carrier-based attack aircraft!
In the equipment of the German army, the Stuka bomber has fallen behind, it has no armor protection, and the engine has only 1400 hp, while the HS129, with two engines, has reached 2400 hp!
The mobility is first-class, even more agile than fighter jets, with a large amount of ammunition and high survivability. The Stuka bomber, which was only a short-lived on the German aircraft carrier, was quickly replaced by the HS129.
Advanced or backward, it depends on who you compare with. Now the 99 ships of the island country have exploded, the engine used is 990 horsepower, and the maximum speed is 380 kilometers per hour.
And Stuka, using a 1400-horsepower engine, has a maximum speed of 410 kilometers per hour. In terms of the amount of bombs, the reinforced pylon can directly carry a ton of bombs!
"Okay, of course there is no problem. In addition to the Stuka bomber, we can export our newly developed PC1000RS bomb to you. This bomb is specially used to fight battleships, no matter how thick the opponent is. The deck armor can also be easily penetrated. In the last battle at Scapa Flow, this bomb achieved the most results," Cyric said.
This sentence does not lie. The PC1000RS bomb is a special anti-armor ammunition boosted by rockets. It weighs one ton and cooperates with dive bombers. It is a nightmare for surface fleets, and battleships with tens of thousands of tons cannot survive!
