In addition to these transport aircraft, old fighter jets also accounted for the majority of the items seized: the Dwarf region produced a large number of Yak and MiG propeller-type fighter jets.
These aircraft were completely obsolete, but there was no time to destroy them, so they were used in large numbers as ground attack aircraft.
Because the number is too large, this type of aircraft can be seen at almost every airport. In addition to them, the Ice Empire Air Force also has some I-16 fighter jets. This type of aircraft is older and in poor overall condition.
.
The elves are interesting here. Many ground staff from the Tang Dynasty feel very familiar here: they can see Butcher fighter jets here. The Datang Empire also had aircraft equipped with them in the past.
The number of these aircraft is also very large, and because the technology has lagged behind, they rarely participate in the war. Most of them are deployed in the southern region, so they are retained.
The Susas Empire previously purchased French fighter technology from the Tang Empire and produced 451 type bombers, with a number of more than 800. Because their performance was extremely backward, these bombers had not been mobilized in the country, and because they surrendered quickly enough, all of them were
handed over to the Tang Empire.
In addition, Susas also has the French fighter type 406. This thing is actually the technical level of the early World War II and should have been eliminated long ago. The Tang Army captured a large number of this type of aircraft, allowing their aircraft to be captured
The number has increased to an exaggerated level.
Including various types of aircraft at Bunas Airport, the Tang Army seized a total of more than 8,000 propeller-type aircraft, which sounds a bit spectacular.
On the other hand, even if it was a good thing that the coalition forces were reluctant to use, it actually had no value worth studying in the eyes of the military technicians of the Tang Empire.
For example, those Shenguang missiles that simply amplify Scud missiles... The Dorne Empire thinks they are their secret weapons, but in fact they are just otherworldly versions of "Hussein" missiles.
This kind of thing has no technological innovation at all, and it is simply a bit of a deterrent. As the Tang army continued to attack, the poor deterrence was almost non-existent.
How much strategic value can something that launches unexpectedly, threaten a fixed target the size of a city, and cause some civilian casualties at most have?
If the fronts of both sides remain in a fixed area, the accumulation of a small amount may make the cities near the border worry about losses; the current situation is that the Tang army is constantly attacking, and many cities are only attacked once or twice.
No pain or itching.
Moreover, the Tang Empire also had targeted air defense weapons. In fact, important cities would deploy the latest air defense missiles that had just been equipped with troops to intercept them... The probability of Shenguang missiles hitting important targets was really very low.
This time in the battle in the Bunas area, the Dornish Empire was unprepared and the deployment speed was too slow. There was no time to launch Shenguang missiles to cause trouble for the Tang army.
And those jet fighters equipped by the coalition forces that they thought were advanced were actually just garbage in the eyes of the Tang army: Saber? How advanced is such a thing like the Saber?
What's more, the Saber fighter jets on the coalition side are not the most backward. They also have the ME-262 fighter jet that is at World War II level.
Although the ME-262 fighter jet can only perform ground attack missions at this time, it is still heavily equipped within the coalition forces.
Both Dorn and the Poplar Empire mass-produced a certain number of ME-262 aircraft and made some modifications to this aircraft.
The more interesting 262 improved version produced by the Yangmu Empire has reduced the cannon on the nose, installed a radar with a Yagi antenna, and converted it into a night fighter, responsible for night air defense.
The actual combat effect of this kind of aircraft is very poor, because the combat effectiveness of the aircraft dispatched by the Tang Empire at night is several levels higher than that of the 262 type fighter. Basically, this night combat type 262 will be shot down as long as it takes off to join the battle.
In addition to this, there are also large-caliber cannons modified for ground attack, inspired by the ground-licking machine Stuka previously equipped by the Tang Empire.
Unfortunately, no matter how it is improved, the potential of the 262 is only so high. It is simply vulnerable to the advanced air force of the Tang Empire.
The aviation technology foundation of the Dorne Empire is relatively poor, and their diplomatic relations with the Tang Empire have always been tense, so they can only purchase technology from the Cyric Consortium.
Therefore, the Dorne Empire's air force can only use things like the 262, which can only be regarded as second-tier aircraft in the coalition forces, as treasures.
In fact, because their own technology is not mature enough, they cannot even undertake serious modifications, so they can only produce original 262 fighter jets, and then carry bombs and rockets to use as ground attack aircraft.
As we all know, the 262 jet fighter is actually not very suitable for ground attack, so this ground attack model is actually not very easy to use.
It was often shot down by the Tang Empire's shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, and in many cases it was shot down by Tang aircraft... In short, the results were not much, but the losses were quite large.
Under such circumstances, when the war progressed to the later stages of the Ice Empire Campaign, the coalition forces stopped using the 262 for ground attacks. The large number of such aircraft they accumulated were also captured and became the spoils of war for the Tang Empire.
It's just that many of these aircraft were parked at the airport and were destroyed by Tang Army air raids. They were paralyzed because they had not been maintained for a long time... In short, there were not many usable ones.
Perhaps the greatest role of these gadgets for the Tang Empire was to put them in museums so that future generations would remember something.
In addition to fighter jets such as the 262, there are also some top export products of the Tang Empire: such as the J-6 modification, Mirage 1, F-104 star...
Although they are all antiques, they are the latest aircraft that are available to the coalition forces. Such aircraft are rare in number because they are precious, and even those captured have suffered varying degrees of damage.
After all, this is the best weapon and equipment in people's hands, so the management is relatively strict. The pilots who fly this type of aircraft are also of higher quality. They will strictly implement destruction procedures before retreating or surrendering, and use grenades and the like to destroy the aircraft's engine.
There is a cockpit.
Although this approach seems quite ridiculous to the Tang Empire, after all, it is a formal requirement within the air force of several empires, so it is not surprising.
Such scrapped jets from the Tang Dynasty must be destroyed directly. There is no use in keeping them. Similarly, we can only pick up some in good condition and send them to museums for future generations to admire.
In comparison, the navies of these countries appear less respectable.
