And they don't have to use speedboats loaded with explosives to carry out suicide attacks like the Mirage did, because their technology has indeed improved, and they have many more trump cards than the Mirage did at the time.
First of all, there was no so-called torpedo weapon in Mirage back then. Now every country in the world has its own torpedoes. It seems that speedboats are equipped with torpedoes and turned into torpedo speedboats.
At that time, hundreds of torpedo boats can launch torpedoes and attack from a distance of seven or eight kilometers. This will obviously have a higher success rate than rushing up and ramming desperately.
By extension, would it be more efficient and more likely to succeed to fill some jets with explosives and have jet fighter pilots carry out a large number of suicide attacks from the beginning?
As long as the Tang Empire's fleet suffers losses, will the cross-sea landing fail? As long as an attack by the Tang State is prevented, the Tang State will definitely become more cautious in the future, and it is very likely that it will give up invading the East without worrying about losses.
mainland ideas.
In short...the plan works!
At least it's more exciting than building those so-called destroyers and cruisers.
"Torpedo speedboats, as well as large torpedo destroyers, torpedo attack aircraft... and even jet fighters... We are producing more decisive weapons, Your Majesty... there is still hope." The prime minister tried to comfort the irritable with slim hope.
of Dorne I.
As the former Chief of Staff of the Navy's main fleet, Mike Ravel was somewhat capable. After repeated reflections, he also believed that similar small ship plans were more promising than other plans in the past.
At least, it is completely different for the Tang Army to sink 100 speedboats than to sink 578 destroyers. Creating some trouble for the Tang Army's landing is actually the only thing the Dornish Navy can do now.
"I don't agree with letting pilots fly jets to carry out suicide strikes. I think it makes no sense. However, I very much support the torpedo boat plan." The former chief of staff of the main fleet took over the topic and advised Dorn I.
Admonition: "Instead of wasting precious pilots, it is better to develop our own missiles."
Thanks to the efforts of many technicians and inspired by the spillover of certain technologies from the Tang Empire, many countries on the Eastern Continent are developing their own missiles.
After all, the Tang Empire had exported Scud missiles and other gadgets like gyroscopes and servos to them before, so it was no secret to these countries.
Dorne also has research in this area, which is one of Dorne's top secrets, codenamed "Divine Light". Dorne I hopes to use this secret weapon to give the Tang people a small surprise.
Unfortunately, similar research and development did not go smoothly. Under electromagnetic interference, radio-guided gadgets like the Shenguang missile cannot be used at all. As long as it is subject to electromagnetic interference after launch, it will definitely fall like a headless fly.
exception.
Dorn's technical staff could not think of using equipment such as radar to correct missile trajectories, so similar efforts came to a standstill.
After all, Dorn's radars are not small enough to fit into the front end of a missile. Even if there were similar radars, Dorn would not be able to link them with the steering gear for a while.
Recently, there has been some breakthrough in this research. Within a huge missile, Dorn has achieved autonomous control of the missile.
However, most of the internal space of this missile is reserved for the huge radar and corresponding control devices. Its range is limited, its power is average, and its size seriously exceeds the standard.
The final compromise was that Dorn would develop a huge vehicle specifically to launch this divine light missile.
What the Navy wants to do is to make use of those newly launched small destroyers without much weapons and equipment: their tonnage is large enough and there is a lot of space, so they can be converted into guided missile destroyers.
The Air Force also came up with its own "platform". They expanded the largest bomber they could find and created a monster with 6 propeller engines.
This super giant bomber is called "Big Mountain" by Dorne, which seems very appropriate. However, this aircraft is not a qualified bomber, and it is thought that it can hardly mount other types of bombs.
The Shenguang missile is really too big to be mounted on the belly of a bomber: the landing gear is not long enough and the ground clearance is not large enough.
Therefore, this bomber was specially designed for the Shenguang missile. The bomb bay in the belly of the aircraft was recessed, making it impossible to mount other bombs.
In fact, Dorn did not expect it to be used as a strategic bomber: under the premise of fighting against the Tang Kingdom, it was meaningless for a heavy bomber that could not fly to the Tang Kingdom's mainland.
"You can't give up any tactic without knowing what tactic will work! So training new pilots, selecting warriors among them, and letting them fly planes to ram Tang ships is also a plan that must be carried out!" Dorn
I said indifferently, ignoring Mike Ravel who was eager to give him some more advice.
"We hope that our preparations can severely damage the Tang Navy and allow the arrogant Tang people to return to the negotiation table and give up the crazy idea of continuing to attack the countries in the Eastern Continent." The prime minister also supported the emperor even more, because in his view, anything that could force Tang to make peace
All methods should be tried.
…
"Hit!" The referee's voice came from the earphones, and Wang Hai knew that the Pili infrared-guided combat missile he had just "launched" had killed the target.
The two planes had been locked with each other before, and Ying Long showed amazing maneuverability in the close combat. In the end, Wang Hai was the superior one and preserved the dignity of the old pilot. The new students were defeated again, but they
The performance is indeed getting better and better.
Wang Hai, who shot down the "enemy plane", breathed a sigh of relief and then leveled his plane. The two Yinglong fighter jets that had been fighting fiercely just now merged with the Yinglong that had been shot down before and returned to the exercise base together.
.
All pilots participating in the confrontation exercise will gather there, and then discuss the gains and losses in the previous simulated air battles. Everyone must summarize their own mistakes, then talk about the advantages of others, and then write a report and submit it to the Air Force staff
They correct.
There is no way. Since the enemy cannot provide more data for the Air Force to study, they can only create more data themselves to build a data database for new aircraft.
