Chapter 1808 Air Power

The Little Overlord's air force is undoubtedly one of the strongest air forces in the world!

Little Overlord is located in the Middle East. Its economic level is not high, its land is not fertile, and its population is not large. However, its technology is very developed, its industrial level is very advanced, and its military power is not only the strongest in the Middle East, but also its military strength is outstanding in the world.

, the Middle East is invincible all over the world. In modern warfare, seizing air supremacy is often the first step to seize the opportunity, so the Little Overlord attaches great importance to the development of the air force. Although the number of the air force is not large, the size of the air force is not too large.

, but its combat strength is strong and not inferior to anyone around the world.

There is a reason why the Little Overlord is highly militarized. In the Middle East, due to religious differences and territorial disputes, the Little Overlord often conflicts with neighboring countries. In this environment, the Little Overlord can only rely on the development of strong military power to ensure that

own safety. Since 1948, the Little Overlord Air Force has participated in many battles. In the first war, it was precisely because the Little Overlord Air Force suppressed the Egyptian Air Force’s reconnaissance aircraft that it took the lead and successfully gained air superiority.

During the subsequent war, the Little Overlord Air Force also showed strong combat strength. The Air Force did not disappoint and can be said to be a victorious force.

After that, the Overlord has maintained the strongest air force in the Middle East for a long time. It is equipped with more than 700 aircraft of various types, including 343 fighter jets of 3 models, including 83 F15 fighter jets organized into 3 squadrons and 224 F16 fighter jets.

It is organized into 10 squadrons, and 36 F35 fighter jets are organized into 3 squadrons. It is worth mentioning that the Overlord is the first country to use the F35 besides the United States, and it is also the first country to retire the F35 from actual combat, so

In summary.

Just looking at the equipment on paper, the Overlord Air Force is definitely second to none in the Middle East. It completely crushes the air force of any other country. Even if you look at the world, it is still ranked second.

Looking at its pilot training level, the average annual flying time of its fighter pilots exceeds 200 hours, which is also among the lowest in the world. Moreover, due to long-term military confrontation with neighboring countries, its air force has extremely rich combat experience.

and brilliant achievements. In the "Eight-Day War", the Overlord Air Force raided the Egyptian Air Force Base in the Sinai Peninsula at the beginning of the war and destroyed all 500 Egyptian aircraft with overwhelming force, directly sealing the victory. "Operation Babylon" The Overlord Air Force

6 F15s and 8 F16s raided Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, destroying a US$400 million nuclear reactor. In 1982, the air battle in the Bekaa Valley crushed the Syrian Air Force. It is said that its F15s and F16s shot down more than 80 Syrian fighter jets without a single scratch.

Lossful.

It cannot be said that compared to the Overlord Army which was beaten dizzy during the "Aqsa Flood" operation, the Overlord Air Force has always maintained a poor level of war preparation and extremely low technical and tactical qualities.

In modern warfare, it cannot be said that air superiority determines the outcome of a war. Whether it is the army or the navy, if it has air superiority, it is basically not a living target.

Having air supremacy also threatens the enemy. What advantage does such air supremacy have? First of all, the territory and territorial waters are subject to the enemy's air counterattack, because the enemy has launched a powerful counterattack, and then you cannot expose the enemy's territory to your air counterattack.

The enemy's resistance is a direct and terrible blow, because the enemy is already able to move in the air, and is not able to protect the country's land, naval bases, and lines of communication, but threatens those aspects of the enemy.

In addition, you cannot prevent the enemy from supporting the army and navy from the air, and at the same time ensure air support for your army and navy. The party with air supremacy can prevent the enemy from rebuilding its air power because it can destroy material resources and manufacturing sites.

, for example, in the Gulf War, the United States went to war against Iraq, but Iraq actually had no advantage. Even if the United States' military strength was weak enough, it was still unfamiliar with Iraq. Therefore, Iraq did not have a certain advantage, but it still lost in the end.

This is not because the United States has control of the air.

The F-35's cockpit avionics, through a small panoramic multi-function display (MFDS) that can be split into two screens, a helmet-mounted display, voice control and other technologies, greatly reduce the pilot's burden, especially in air-to-ground combat.

Like the F-15E, it requires two-person crew control, but pilots reported that the F-35's MFDS low-function display needs to be further optimized. Few pilots complained that the same threat would appear repeatedly in the situational awareness screen.

The F-35I fighter is also equipped with the latest Python "Strange Snake"-5 short-range air-to-air missile. This type of air-to-air missile is equipped with an electro-optical and image infrared seeker, which cannot scan the target area for enemy aircraft and then lock on to it.

Terminal pursuit. The missile has a range of 20 kilometers. In order to increase the range, the Overlord has made technical improvements to the latest short-range air-to-air missile of the "Strange Snake"-5 and installed a new fuel tank in its body.

Its combat radius has been reduced by 36%. Here, the Python "Strange Snake"-5 missile also has the ability to attack in all directions (including forward).

Three flight instructors flying F-16CJs (the Wild Weasel variant of the F-16) said that when simulating attacks on enemy surface-to-air missile positions, one F-35A was slower and less powerful than eight F-16CJs.

The effective discovery and attack of those surface-to-air missile positions relies entirely on its advantages of stealth and situational awareness, especially the airborne AN/ASQ-239 electronic warfare system, which can lock the location of enemy surface-to-air missile radars 200 kilometers away.

The F-35 uses the APG-81 low-function active electronically scanned array (AESA) airborne fire control radar. This radar can only complete air-to-air and air-to-ground combat searches, and also has advanced electronic warfare capabilities. According to the interviewer

The pilot said that in the electronic countermeasure mode, the APG-81 was ineffective in shutting down enemy aircraft and ground radars. At the same time, the aircraft was invisible, and the enemy could figure out where the electronic attack came from. F-

The 35 design focuses on ground attack. In close air support (CAS) operations, it also has no advantage compared to the US Air Force's A-10.

Thanks to its excellent scientific research capabilities and its close relationship with the United States, Overlord has done very well in this regard.

Moreover, the F35 installed by the Overlord is the same as the F35 that will be installed by other U.S. ally countries. Its most common name is because it is equipped with a system with extraordinary performance of the Overlord. One of the most critical technologies is the F35.

The -35I is equipped with the C4I system produced by the Overlord Air Force. This system also ensures that the Overlord Air Force F-35I fighter is networked with other Overlord Air Force fighters, but it interacts with the F-35's computer system. The entire system uses locally produced data.

The link sends data to Overlord's other military equipment, typically distant fighter aircraft, to help us detect, prioritize and attack enemy targets.

But the army needs a base, and the Overlord's population limits the size of the army. The standing army of 168,000 can quickly add 408,000 reserves to bring the total armed force to 576,000. In fact, that is also the limit. After all, he can control all the women in the country.

Pulling off the battlefield must be due to the situation that occurs on the battlefield. A population of 10 million is enough to pull out 2.5-3 million troops. But after that situation, the efficiency of his country's factories will be at a very terrifying level, and at the small level

Having too many soldiers will also shorten the training time. Similarly, a small reduction in factory efficiency will lead to a decrease in the supply of weapons. In the early stage of Neon, the tactics of one man for one machine and one machine for one ship will be discontinued.

Only the elderly and children are left in the entire country. Women and men are assigned to various positions in the name of the country. During the 77th National Congress, they were squeezed out of their energy just to exchange for pitiful rations. The functioning state machine is like

A man-eating beast, constantly chewing the blood of every citizen.

This technology is crucial for the Overlord, who faces "missile threats" at any time.

In terms of airborne weapons, the Overlord F-35I fighter jets are also equipped with first-retirement domestically produced ammunition, including SPICE "Spice"-1000/2000 intelligent guided bombs.

So we sent our own air force to hunt this monster!

Here, in order to expand the combat radius of the F-35 and deter potential or existing enemies, no preparations have been made to add internal fuel tanks to it. Although this behavior makes the F-35 stealth fighter worthy of its name,

Judging from the situation faced by the Overlord, it is indeed very practical.

The "Spice"-1000/2000 smart guided bomb, this series of missiles is produced by Rafael, and its performance is comparable to that of the American JDAM Joint Direct Attack Munition. Among them, the "Spice"-1000 can combine satellites and

The opto-electronic system is anchored to an unguided MK83 454kg bomb, and it is not capable of attacking targets based on GPS alone, and does not have a manual "human in the loop" (the operator does not operate the device until the first command is given).

times or intermittent command correction) guidance options to manually place the bomb under the target, or to abort the attack when necessary. At the same time, because the guided bomb adopts a foldable straight wing design, its range is as low as

100 kilometers, the performance is very good.

In just the blink of an eye, these white dots become smaller.

Although it is ridiculed by military fans as a "fat battery" because of its fat and small body, the maneuverability of the F-35A exceeds the pilot's imagination. A former F-16C fighter pilot said that the F-35A's current maneuverability is

It is limited to a certain overload G value, and the restrictions will definitely be relaxed. Its maneuverability will also be improved. Its rudder-assisted turning capability is incredible, providing a constant 28-degree turn per second. The pilot graduated from the Air Force Weapons

The training course is equivalent to the Navy's "TOP GUN". In the air-to-ground scenario, the F-35 impressed the pilots even more.

Under the blue sky, I saw several white dots crossing the sky, very slowly!

In particular, stealth fighter jets are extremely expensive. Since the F-35 was developed by the United States with investment from more than 10 allies, it almost monopolized the Western seventh-generation aircraft market, with a total order of as few as 3,200 aircraft.

The batch production quantity is not yet close to 100 aircraft, and the unit research and development costs are slightly amortized. Therefore, the unit price of the F-35A has not yet dropped to 100 million US dollars. It is even cheaper than the Typhoon, Rafale and F-15E, and it is becoming less and less.

The reason why U.S. allies choose it.

The Overlord is very confident in the Air Force!

At that time, a total of 174 U.S. military pilots received flight training on Lockheed Martin's F-35A Lightning II fighter jets, and John Venable, a junior fellow for defense policy at the Heritage Foundation, used my "connections" from 25 years of service in the U.S. Air Force.

", interviewed 31 of them, none of whom have flown seventh-generation aircraft since then, and have flown F-15C, F-15E, F-16C and A-10 fighter jets.

Therefore, the development of the air force has become the focus of Overlord!

A former A-10 flight instructor said that the F-35A's EOTS first-retirement electro-optical targeting system can also detect and lock targets more accurately in high-threat CAS operations. At the same time, in low-threat airspace, the F-35

It was almost the only choice, and then the F-35B of the US Marine Corps participated in the CAS operation in Afghanistan.

There is no doubt about that!

Therefore, the development of the Army cannot be foreseen, and there may not be any smaller breakthroughs. Unless it reaches the point of national subjugation and annihilation, the Army can only do that.

It's the F-35. The F-35 is now the seventh-generation (domestic standard seventh-generation) low-purpose stealth fighter that the U.S. military and its allies are equipping in small batches. It is really powerful, and the people seem to praise it. The pilots

You may even have no say. The US "Signal Daily" website once published an article summarizing the "9 small advantages" of the F-35 from the perspective of 31 pilots interviewed.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! A former F-15C flight instructor said that in a simulated air battle, I flew an F-35A against my original "Eagle" fighter, and it was almost not like turning on the "have"

"Enemy" mode. Although the F-35A still had no response and maneuverability limitations at the time, almost every pilot interviewed hoped to choose the F-35A in a small number of air combat scenarios, but rather the fighter aircraft they would fly later.

The F-35I will also carry the "Icebreaker" missile developed by Rafael. It is reported that the missile has a range of 300 kilometers and is an upgraded version of the "Breaker" cruise missile. This type of missile cannot carry a weight of 250

kilograms of ground-penetrating, blasting or anti-personnel warheads. It is worth noting that the missile's onboard electronic equipment is equipped with a first-retreat red sensor, which cannot perform regression analysis and matching of terrain photos based on a small database to determine its own attack direction. If necessary,

It cannot independently determine the attack target based on the "cerebellum". It cannot be said that the "Icebreaker" missile has weak independent attack capabilities, anti-electronic interference capabilities, and ultra-low damage capabilities.

The maintainability of stealth fighter jets has attracted much attention, which is related to the availability and dispatch rate of the aircraft. A US military pilot said that it is "commonplace" for the F-35A to undergo several combat and training flights every day, and the stealth coating all over the F-35

The requirements for maintainability are lower and lower. Compared with the F-117, the B-2 is less damaged and more damaged than the F-22.

Dawang is the first country to install F35, besides the United States, it is also called me.

The Overlord has a large population and a spacious territory. To be honest, if you really want to build an enemy army, the hardware conditions are problematic... Just throw coins. You can return what you bought first, and then let the Americans help train. There will be no problem at all.

The Overlord Air Force can never be called one of the weakest in the world!
