When introducing the introduction, the general of the Tiaoman Air Force was obviously very proud.

Of course, this is completely understandable.

Up to now, the Expeditionary Brigade of the Imperial Army Air Force has been fighting in the Troman Empire for two years, investing more than 4,000 bombers, with a total force of nearly 200,000. The key is that the Empire also provided materials to the Troman Empire through various channels that could produce thousands of fighter jets.

Just about 150,000 tons of aluminum ingots have been provided.

If you want to say, without the assistance from the empire, the Thuman Air Force would have been defeated long ago.

Not to mention anything else, just the strategic bombing of the Royal Bran Air Force and the Newland Army Air Force reduced the industrial output value of the Troman Empire by more than 30%.

The key is that this is the loss suffered by the Tyman Empire under the premise that the Imperial Army Airlines sent an expeditionary brigade to participate in the war and greatly weakened the strategic bombing capabilities of the Alliance Group through counterattacks. Without the Imperial Army Airlines' expeditionary brigade, the Tyman Empire would definitely suffer even more.

If you want to say something, the Tyman Air Force doesn't even have enough pilots.

So far, including the officers and soldiers of the Expeditionary Brigade, more than 10,000 imperial pilots volunteered to fight in the Thuman Empire, of which nearly 30% have become Thuman nationality.

Affected by this, in front of the Imperial generals, the generals of the Tiaoman Air Force felt a little unable to raise their heads.

Now, I can finally be proud and naturally I have to show off my best.

However, these Thuman Air Force generals obviously found the wrong partner.

Bai Zhizhan was a navy general and was not very interested in the matters of the Air Force. What he was interested in was actually the radio remote-controlled bomb used by the Tiaoman Air Force in this battle.

Bai Zhizhan also has some understanding of remote-controlled bombs.

Long before the outbreak of the war, the Imperial Army and the Navy had conducted relevant research, or projects in this area, but all of them ended in vain.

Of course, it is mainly technical issues.

At the beginning, the project chief engineer got the wrong direction and felt that it was too difficult to remotely control the radio. The most critical point is that during the remote control process, the operator cannot maintain effective observation of the bomb, so he cannot judge the ballistic deviation.

The result is that the researchers of the Empire pinned their hopes on remote control methods that did not require observation of ballistics.

Although in the long run, this is an inevitable development direction of control technology, it was obviously beyond the scope that technology could support at that time.

When the war broke out, the Empire had abandoned the development of remote-controlled bombs.

Of course, this is also related to the lack of urgent needs of the Imperial military.

For the Imperial Army Aviation, especially the newly established strategic aviation, the value of remote-controlled bombs is not very high.

During the entire war, the Imperial Strategic Air Force believed in the "cover bombing" theory, that is, increasing the amount of bomb drops to destroy targets.

If a bomber couldn't do it, he sent a group of bombers over.

If a ton of bomb cannot destroy the target, a hundred tons of bombs are used.

If one bombing is not enough, it will bomb ten times repeatedly.

Simple and crude, but very useful.

For tactical aviation, it is even more nonexistent.

Low-altitude attack aircraft that shine in the war mainly use ammunition with not too poor accuracy of rockets, and can improve accuracy by diving and dropping bombs. Therefore, there is no need to use remote-controlled bombs, let alone tactical aircraft do not have such capabilities.

On the Navy Aviation side, the situation is actually similar.

In the battle against warships, naval aviation has always relied on dive bombs, and has never thought of using remote-controlled bombs to increase the hit rate.

The key is that carrier-based aircraft are all tactical aircraft, with only three crew members of torpedo aircraft, and generally only two bombers.

In addition, the size of the carrier-based aircraft is not very large, and there is no place to install remote control equipment that is not lightweight.

Although after the outbreak of the war, the Imperial Army and Navy increased their investment in the technology field and began to consider increasing the hit rate of bombs through remote control and other methods, all efforts were mainly based on basic research, and neither China Airlines nor HNA had practical needs.

Obviously, the Tyman Air Force is different.

The Thuman Navy did not have real aviation troops, so the task of sea-making operations fell on the Thuman Air Force.

Although the Thuman Air Force has a large number of dive bombers and has very advanced performance, tactical bombers like the Ju-87 have very short combat radius.

The result is that in many cases, only twin-engine long-range bombers can be used.

Obviously, using long-range bombers to attack warships must require high-precision ammunition.

This issue became more prominent after entering Lu Xinhai.

Because the Kingdom of Raleigh was not very powerful and fell out in various ways, the Tyman Air Force not only had to fight alone, but for most of the time, it could only rely on long-range bombers deployed in the southern part of the Rocket Kingdom to deal with the Bran Fleet operating in the Luxinhai.

After several battles, the accuracy of bomb drops became a big problem.

However, the advantages of long-range bombers have also been shown.

The bomb load capacity is large enough, generally more than 2 tons, and the new bomber exceeds 3 tons.

The bomber has many crew members, so one or two crew members are arranged to be responsible for remote control of the bomb, which will not have any impact.

Of course, the bomber has a large size and can be equipped with remote control equipment with a small size.

That's true, compared with tactical aircraft, long-range bombers are the ideal carrier platform and can better exert the value of remote-controlled bombs.

The key is that the Tiaman Air Force does have an urgent need in this regard.

After conquering Malta, to be precise, the enemy counterattacked Malta, Lu Xinhai's demand for sea combat became very urgent.

It is also in this context that the Tauman Empire took the lead in developing a radio remote-controlled bomb.

What surprised Bai Zhi's strategy was that Engineer Tiaoman used a very simple and crude method to solve the problem that caused the Imperial Engineer to give up the development of the number one radio remote-controlled bomb.

This is because the bomb is not visible and there is no way to remotely control the bomb.

The solution that engineer Tiaoman thought of was very simple.

At the tail of the bomb, more than a dozen high-power light-emitting tubes were installed!

In this way, the operator can observe the bomb's flight route with the assistance of optical equipment such as telescopes or bombing sights throughout the process, and then remotely control the bomb.

Although this has high requirements for bomb dropping platforms, that is, bombers, and has restricted tactics, it has proved that it works and the effect is not bad.

To be said, the efforts made by the Thuman Air Force are equivalent to announcing that a new era is coming.

Although the Imperial Navy has not yet obtained remote-controlled bombs and has no combat aircraft that can use remote-controlled bombs, Bai Zhizhan has keenly realized that the advent of remote-controlled bombs will completely change the current bombing tactics and will increase the combat efficiency of the bomber by orders of magnitude.

When the remote control technology is mature, dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft will become history.

In addition, aviation torpedoes will be sent to the museum.

In the future, in addition to fighter jets, there are only bombers with remote-controlled bombs as their main weapon.

The navy will not die, and the aircraft carrier will not die.

In the era of remote-controlled bombs, the status of aircraft carriers will be more stable because carrier-based aircraft using remote-controlled bombs can destroy all sea and ground targets.
