If a few more years go by, with Harpoon missiles for land attacks and Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of several hundred kilometers, will you still need to catch your blind here?

But now, there is really nothing to take advantage of, precision-guided missiles have a range of almost all within 50 kilometers, and those with a range of more than 100 kilometers are left with the Immortal Bird missile.

However, the Immortal Bird missile cannot directly attack the land, and it is beyond its capabilities, so it has to think of a way.

What's the solution?

If your sword isn't long enough, take a step forward!

Nathan said his thoughts, and everyone present was extremely surprised, yes, Major Nathan had many ideas, and one was more brain-opening than the other.

"If we let the ground crew figure it out now, it should be able to be mounted when our tomcat returns." Nathan said: "However, we can't be sure of this effect for the time being, if there is no effect, then I suggest that we use Pershing missiles and do it once and for all." ”

The most important thing is that the opponent's range is super long, which brings great inconvenience to their own attack, the opponent's position is deployed on the hill, standing high, seeing far, and at the same time there are missile launch positions under the hillside, and even the launch position of Sam-6 nearby, which constitutes layers of protection, and it is not easy to attack there.

If you want to let the immortal bird be used directly as an anti-radiation missile, it will not work, it needs to be improved, and there is no time for the time being, so simply let the immortal bird be used as a bus, a special car, and it is okay to call it Didi.

Everyone was shocked for a few minutes, and finally, it was Colonel Petro Bori who made the decision: "Okay, then let's try it once, if it doesn't work, then ask the Air Force to dispatch." ”

Those ground-to-surface ballistic missiles are all in the hands of the Air Force, and in later generations, the Americans also want to take out these forces separately and form them into a space force, but the Air Force just does not cooperate, and what belongs to them has been developed for decades, how can it be easily divided out?

The Americans, of course, are not satisfied.

Just now Nathan mentioned the Pershing missile, and everyone present had that kind of expression, in addition to the fear of causing a nuclear war, on the other hand, he was afraid of losing face in front of the Air Force!

"Call our sortie formation, give up the attack for the time being, return to the plane first, the Tomcat fleet, prepare to re-hang the bomb." Petro Bori gave the order.

This morning, it was a waste of work, hanging the bomb heavily, and having to hang the bomb again, just when the formation was returning, Nathan was already instructing his ground crew to mount.

"yes, that's it, add a composite pylon, yes, that's it." Nathan gives the Ordnance Officer pointers.

As long as the fighter is not a fighter with a built-in bomb bay, it is mounted externally, which requires the use of weapon pylons, and under normal circumstances, a pylon, can only be mounted with one missile, then, many times, the mounting capacity is wasted.

For example, the hardpoint on the inside of the wing can carry up to 800 kg, but this time it is an air supremacy mission, and only medium-range air-to-air missiles can be mounted, and this missile is only 160 kg, so the remaining weight is wasted, and the aircraft can't be mounted too much.

What to do? At this time, you can go on a composite pylon, a pylon, can be mounted two, or three medium-range missiles, in this way, the bomb load is greatly increased.

At the same time, if it is a salvo of two rounds, it is also easy to use a composite pylon, because the composite pylons also need to have electrical components inside to control the launch of the missile. On the same pylon, synchronous action, it is obviously much easier than two pylons firing at the same time.

Composite pylons are actually very common, for example, the F-15 has a pair of composite pylons to hang one medium-range bomb and two combat bombs, and the F-14 also has a pair of composite pylons to hang one immortal bird and two rattlesnakes.

Yes, the current ordnance officer is using this composite pylon on the Tomcat fighter, but the way of this mount is too special.

Originally, the composite pylon was hung at the root of the wing, and only this part had space.

It was hung at the root of the wing, and the Immortal Bird missile and two Sidewinder missiles were mounted below, but now, Nathan's request was nothing short of nonsense.

"When you launch, you want this pylon to fly with you, and with two hundreds? No, no, how is this possible? The ordnance officer shook his head: "When launching, if the pylons also fly, this is an accident, and we will be unlucky." ”

"This is what we need." Nathan said, "Isn't there an explosive bolt in the pylon?" The moment the circuit is turned on and the ignition is launched, the explosion bolt will explode with it, and the pylons will fly out together? ”

The ordnance officer still shook his head: "No, no, unless, you sign it for me." ”

"Of course, as long as you can do a good job, I will report it and reward you." Nathan said, "Then, let's talk about the second point, about the issue of delaying the ignition of the Mozu missile..."

While discussing here, the roar of engines was already heard in the distance, and one after another Tomcat fighters, in vain, landed heavily on the deck of the aircraft carrier.

The ordnance officers were immediately busy.

While the ordnance officers were busy, Nathan was also gathering his own pilots, and the pilots of the two flying squadrons, the 111th Squadron and the 51st Squadron, were all listening to this strange assignment.

This difficulty is still a bit big!

"We haven't done this before, Major Nathan, do you think that's okay?" After Nathan finished speaking, a radar officer asked.

Of course, no one has operated it before, who will shoot the Immortal Bird missile directly as an air-to-ground rocket? That's a crime.

Nathan waved his hand: "This, I don't know, but, we don't have time, we have to try, don't we?" ”

If you don't try, then the navy has no other way, if you don't succeed in trying, then let the Pershing missiles be dispatched, if you don't have the courage to do so, then watch Hokkaido be occupied by the Soviets.

Nathan has done his best.

"It's a pity that we can only mount two." There are also people who feel sorry.

Yes, there are only two, the Tomcat fighter can carry up to six undead birds, four of which are mounted under the belly, however, the space under the belly is limited, and the undead birds are already full, and there is no place to mount composite pylons.

There is enough space only in the part of the wing root.

Twenty fighters can salvo forty undead birds, and these forty will carry eighty hundreds, so to speak, it is enough to meet the standard of saturation attack.

If you can't succeed, you'll find out if you try.
