1536, Grand Duke of Dawn (Thirteen) [Navy Chapter]
In addition to the Cobalt Alloy class, the Roughneck class and the Spear class, the Pulse star frigate has also been completely withdrawn from active service. Moreover, due to design problems, the Pulse star frigate is a slow medium-range fire support ship. This kind of frigate
After they were retired, they were no longer worth joining the escort fleet, so they were all sold on the black market.
However, the reasons for the retirement of the Manghan-class and Spear-class light frigates are somewhat different. The reason for the retirement of these two light frigates is that they can no longer find opponents.
In the past, the Dawn Territory relied on these two types of light frigates to supplement the performance and firepower of its own fighter jets. They were mainly used to fight against the fighter clusters of the Galactic Republic.
But now, with a large number of new fighter jets entering active service, the Dawn Territory's fighter fleet has the strength to compete head-on with the Galactic Republic's fighter fleet. Therefore, there is no need for these two light frigates to continue to serve. They are also about 30 meters long.
The level of light frigates and Valkyrie guided missile frigates are much more lethal to fighter jets.
Dawn Territory's fighter jets are still based on the Ghost fighter. However, the Ghost fighter has now made radical progress due to continuous improvements, whether it is the avionics system, fire control system, weapon system, energy transmission system, or engine system.
, as well as the shield system and stealth system, all have been replaced with the most advanced equipment, and the combat capabilities are completely the same as those of the original model.
In fact, the current Ghost fighter is also invisible, and the Galactic Republic's detection radar still needs to operate at extremely high power to detect it. Although the Republic is constantly improving its anti-stealth methods, the devil is still ahead of the curve.
Yi Zhang, the one taking the initiative is still the Phantom fighter.
At present, the latest CF/A-17-G Phantom fighter, in terms of actual air combat effects, its overall performance is indeed not as good as the latest V-wing fighter of the Galaxy Republic. However, with the help of the stealth system, the V-wing fighter can
In the battle with the ghost fighter, he was also helpless. If he was not careful, he would lose track of the opponent and be massacred unilaterally.
In fact, it is precisely for this reason that the Dawn Command Headquarters did not promote the replacement of Phantom fighters.
However, this does not mean that Dawn Leader has stopped developing in the field of fighter jets. After the new Viking fighter jets entered active service, the firepower of Dawn Leader fighter fleet has directly increased to a higher level. In addition to a slight lack of flexibility, Viking fighter jets are both fast and
The firepower is much stronger than that of the Phantom fighter, and it also has the stealth function. To put it more vividly, the Phantom fighter is a dog-fighting fighter, while the Viking fighter is a long-distance strike fighter.
After being incorporated into active service, although the Viking fighters did not participate in many battles, they achieved good results every time.
And now the Army of Liming is also pursuing the idea of Viking fighters, because the current Navy Viking fighters have removed the deformation function, but Army Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao hopes to order a batch of Viking fighters with deformation functions to meet their needs.
Their need to fight within the atmosphere.
After all, who wouldn’t like a piece of equipment that can be used for air combat when it flies, and can transform into a mecha for land combat when it lands?
However, in the future, in the field of fighter jets, Halo Weapon Systems Group has also joined the competition. They have proposed plans and prototypes for the F-41 Broadsword fighter jet, which is currently being evaluated by the military.
In addition to these two air superiority fighters, Dawn Leader is also equipped with a large number of Vulture robot fighters to supplement the lack of its own number of fighter jets. These fighter jets are purchased through the trade alliance, and they are cheap and large in quantity. Of course, they are also used in actual combat.
Those Republic fighters flown by clone pilots shot down piece after piece.
As for the new triple-linked robot fighters, although the Dawn Territory has also purchased them, the number is not large. The reason is that the high command feels that it is not cost-effective to introduce triple-linked robot fighters. As for the Coyote robot bombers, it is also because they perform tasks that Viking fighters can also do.
competent, so the Dawn Territory also only introduced a small amount.
Of course, the Vulture Robot Fighters will also be eliminated. According to the plan of the Dawn Leader High Command, the Vulture Robot Fighters will also be replaced by drones.
At present, Salary Industrial Group has come up with two drone designs, namely the light drone Acolyte and the medium-sized drone Infiltrator.
Similarly, the ambitious Halo Weapon Systems Group has also come up with its own UAV solution - the F-99 Kangaroo.
However, in the field of drones, a new competitor suddenly appeared, and no one expected this opponent - it turned out to be the Protoss!
Anyway, I don’t know what the current leader of the Protoss, Zelakas, the leader of the Silak tribe, thinks. He also provided the Protoss’s drone-the Swarm Unmanned Interceptor to the Dawn Territory High Command!
This kind of unmanned interceptor has good performance both in the air and on the ground, and its body diameter is no more than two meters. It really lives up to its name, just like a swarm! This kind of unmanned aerial vehicle was originally equipped in the protoss.
aircraft carrier. Although the current Protoss does not have the ability to produce aircraft carriers, it is not a big problem to build interceptors.
It's just that in the past, the protoss would not take the initiative to hand over their equipment to the Dawn Leader, including their transport aircraft and a series of probe robots, sentry robots, etc., which were all for their own use. This time they took the initiative to take out the swarm interceptor.
, which is indeed a good thing.
At present, the upgrading of fighter jets, especially drones, is proceeding rapidly, and vulture robot fighters with certain intelligence have begun to be handed over to the security forces on the planet, and these robot fighters have also proven that they are very good at public security.
outstanding.
And finally, there is another fleet of the Dawn Navy that is low-key, but still very important - the escort fleet!
Now when carrying out trade and material transportation within the Dawn Territory and with other galaxies in the Milky Way, sufficient power is needed to escort. Especially now that many trades in the Dawn Territory have to pass through the Hutt space, and it is even more chaotic in that place.
Putting aside the destruction of the Galactic Republic's infiltration fleet, the interstellar pirates who can be seen everywhere will keep an eye on these transport fleets. They don't care about your Dawn Territory or your Federation of Independent Systems. They will just grab them and disappear. Find them.
Selling stolen goods in a mixed-race place, and then having fun for a while, waiting for the limelight to pass before continuing.
However, it is impossible to waste the resources of front-line battleships when escorting, so the cost-effectiveness of these escort fleets is very important.
