On a bomber, the captain has the highest operation authority. He is the commander and is responsible for commanding the flight of the whole aircraft. There is only one exception, that is, bomb dropping.

When dropping bombs, the bomber has the highest authority. He let the plane fly flat and turn around. Now, when he calls to drop bombs, it is also the time for him to operate.

As the button was pressed, a huge bomb rolled down inside the belly.

When the bomb rolled out of the belly of the aircraft, the whole aircraft trembled, and then the aircraft was light.

The current ju-290, with enhanced pylons and airframe, can carry up to nine tons of ammunition. Of course, at this time, the flight performance will deteriorate sharply, which is just the experimental data of the largest loading.

Under normal circumstances, it can have a bomb carrying capacity of six tons, which will not have a great impact on the mobility. If you want to fly to an altitude of 10000 meters, the bomb carrying capacity must be limited to five tons.

Now, this bomber only carries one bomb, a special bomb developed and produced by Libya's Secret Weapons Research Institute, which can only be carried by this bomber. This bomb is the glide guidance bomb code named fx2400.

Look at the code, you can know that this bomb has a full 2400KG! This is an unprecedented big bomb! The only target of this kind of big bomb is the enemy's warship!

In fact, in terms of load capacity, it is no problem to mount two, but now, you can only mount one. Just look at the thrown bomb and you will know why.

The body of this bomb is very much like an ordinary free falling bomb, but it is very big, four meters long. However, compared with an ordinary bomb, it also has a pair of horizontal wings!

Yes, with a pair of horizontal wings in the middle of the bomb, the bomb looks like a small monoplane.

It doesn't have any power. It all depends on gliding. At the same time, its horizontal wing and tail wing are only used to change the course!

Ordinary bombers accelerated back immediately after dropping the bomb, but now, after the big bomb was dropped, the bomber did not fly away immediately, but it was slower.

At this time, Ludwig in front was in high tension. Through the sight, he stared at his target tightly. At the same time, his hand was beating back and forth on the operating rod.

In the field of vision, the bomb will be smaller and smaller, but at the tail of the bomb, a flashing signal light is constantly shaking. This signal light is the location of the bomb.

Ludwig needs to control the bomb and hit his target accurately!

Yes, this bomb is one of the most confidential weapons in Germany. It is not a free falling bomb, but a guided bomb controlled by someone!

After falling, the trajectory of an ordinary bomb is out of control. In this case, of course, the bombing accuracy will be very low. If you want to improve the bombing accuracy, there is not only dive bombing!

If the bomb is equipped with a control system so that the bomb can change its flight attitude in the air, the accuracy can be greatly improved. Such a control system is most needed for horizontal bombers at high altitude!

In later generations, the air force without guidance weapons, that is, the terminal and advanced guidance system, has long occupied the weapon depots of air forces of various countries. If the price is cheap, it is GPS guidance, and more high-end, it is laser guidance.

But now, this technology is impossible. The electronic technology of this era is too backward. Now, the only thing that can be used is radio control.

Just like the remote-controlled model aircraft, it adopts radio control, and the operating lever in Ludwig's hand is the control handle, which sends signals to adjust the attitude of the bomb.

At the same time, Ludwig's observation means, only his eyes, all of which are completely manually controlled.

The target is on the left, leaning to the left! Ludwig pulled his lever, and the bomb, after reacting for half a second, followed to the left.

No, it deviates too much. Turn right again! Ludwig continued to break his lever in the opposite direction. At this moment, his spirit was highly nervous, and his heart beat more than 100 times per second!

If you want to hit the target, you must rely on the accurate operation of the pitcher. No matter how many times you have practiced in peacetime, he is still a little nervous when it comes to actual combat.

The handle can only send four commands, up, down, left and right. After receiving the signal, the radio receiver at the tail of the bomb will manipulate the spoiler on the wing to correct the heading.

In this way, due to the poor response ability of the control system, the bomb is left, right, up and down, just like a staggering drunk walking.

Sweat kept coming out of his forehead, and Ludwig clenched his teeth and continued to operate the bomb.

In training, his performance is the best. Now, he must not miss! This is the result of years of efforts by the personnel of the Libyan base!

The base in Libya has always been a high-end and secret weapons research and development base. As early as a few years ago, chirek put forward the idea of this radio controlled bomb. It takes great efforts to make use of the existing technical level to turn this idea into reality.

Not to mention, this remote-controlled bomb is only the first step. Shrek even proposed the idea of using rocket powered "flying torpedo"( In this era, there is no anti-ship missile. This powerful anti-ship weapon is called torpedo.)

The subsequent development of several weapons is fraught with difficulties. Only this first remote-controlled bomb has been successful.

That complex anti-jamming scheme has not been added. It can be said that if the British know, they can make this kind of bomb ineffective as long as they release radio interference.

However, the first use of this weapon is absolutely unexpected to the British. This is the first use of precision guided weapons in the history of human war!

The target is very large. Even at high altitude, through the sight, you can see the wide flight deck of the target. Ludwig knows that he must accurately drop the bomb to the middle before he can blow the target into two sections!

No, it's too far to the right, then to the left!

The palms of his hands were sweating. In fact, the process of manual guidance was not long, but Ludwig felt like a century at this time.

Fx2400 glide guided bomb, swinging left and right, moving towards its own goal, moving forward! Its prey is the pride of the Royal Navy, the Royal ark, on the wharf!
