Chapter 1424: 15,000-kilometer altitude reconnaissance

In this era, the German Junker-290 bomber is no longer a secret. Its passenger aircraft model flies back and forth between the mainland, and its original bomber model has emerged in various wars. Even the American B-29 is considered a copy of the Junker-290.

Now, when the German Junker-290 bomber appeared at the Tehran Air Force Base, it still aroused the envy of the Iranian Air Force inside the base.

That's simply a huge monster!

Four engines with a power of more than 2,000 horsepower drive aircraft with dozens of tons, which is simply the biggest weapon in the history of human aviation!

Yes, in the era when the Junker-390 was still a top secret, the Junker-290 was already the most powerful aircraft of this era. Its huge fuselage has endless beauty.

A group of Junker-290s landed in the base, and some ground crew members also noticed that among these aircraft, there was a special aircraft, a twin-engine slender fuselage aircraft!

"Come on us." When the plane slid onto the apron, the crew of the plane got off the plane. They would not stay here for too long. For them, this was just a temporary stop on the route.

The captain looked at the operator of the refueling truck with confidence and had already replaced his own ground staff. The fuel in the refueling truck was not the usual aviation gasoline, but the special aviation diesel.

Smelling the smell of diesel in the air, the crew started their own breakfast in the open space at the airport.

Those who arrived here in advance had already prepared the meals for Iranians, but ordinary people couldn't get used to it. They all ate the pilot recipes that matched them.

During the process of eating, they formed a circle, basically based on the unit, they lived together, fought together, and cooperated with each other.

While eating, they looked at the blue sky above their heads: "Today is a good weather for flight. The weather department's predictions are quite clear. This time we must take all the targets into place in one go."

The person who spoke was Captain Lucas. When he received the mission, he was still a little puzzled.

The generation of Ural Mountains had been exploring the Ural Mountains before, but they had to take a detour to Iran. This was the first time. This was a new route. As a soldier, he had to obey orders.

Hearing his words, the navigator Stigler said, "Don't worry, although it's a new route, I have memorized all the landmarks along the way, so we will definitely not fly wrong."

As a navigator, his mission is very heavy. He must take the crew accurately over the target. After receiving the mission, he is the busiest one.

"In the end, although we did not find that the Soviets had fighter jet troops along the way, we must also be highly vigilant. Our flight altitude this time will be around 15,000 meters."

When everyone heard his voice, they smiled knowingly. At this level, they were born kings!

For Junkers, Junker-390 has enabled them to reach the top level of the aviation system, but they are still not satisfied. A higher height is their stage.

However, Berlin no longer carries the continued improvement of the Juncker-390.

As the helmsman of Juncker, Dr. Juncker knew that the top leaders placed their center of gravity on the jet bomber and believed that that was the direction of the future. However, Dr. Juncker also knew that jet bombers still have many shortcomings, with small power and small range, and the piston bomber has not reached its limit.

When the superiors were no longer willing to focus on improving the Juncker-390, Dr. Juncker could only compete against this kind of reconnaissance aircraft.

Historically, the Junker-86p, a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft that specializes in diesel engines, has only a ceiling of 13,000 meters. However, in their design, the Junker-86p-3 is a terrifying monster that can fly to 17,000 meters. Driven by a special composite supercharger, the engine can work normally at this height, but it consumes too much resources.

It is a pity that it only stays on design drawings in history, but now Juncker has raised its own funds and has created it.

Although it still does not meet the historical design indicators of 17,000 meters, it can fly easily and freely over 15,000 meters!

In this era, there were very few Soviet planes that could fly up to 10,000 meters, so they could not care about any interception.

It can also be seen from the design that this aircraft does not have any self-defense weapons, and its magic weapon to survive is its height!

After eating, he had a brief rest, and then Lucas took his crew and got back into his plane.

The engines on both sides start normally, and the unique striking sound makes people feel very pleasant. Compared to the jet engine being scrapped in hundreds of hours, the piston engine is much more reliable. Germany is now mature in these aspects. Now, this kind of transition flight is maintenance-free.

After slid across the long runway, the reconnaissance plane pulled up from the runway and flew towards the northern sky.

Soon, the calm Caspian Sea surface was under the fuselage. When they flew over the Caspian Sea, they also climbed to an altitude of 15,000 meters. After leveling the plane, they aimed at the target position and started a straight line flight.

The long flight has just begun. The speed of 350 kilometers per hour is definitely already afternoon when it reaches the sky above the target. Under the golden sunshine, the target will definitely be quite clear.

As pilots of long-range reconnaissance aircraft, they have to learn to spend this time. They spent 70 hours on the plane during the long-range flight test!

The reconnaissance plane flew smoothly toward the heart of the Soviet Union without attracting any attention.

Due to the decisive battle with Germany on the Western Front, there were not many fighter troops stationed in the hinterland here, and there was no reliable and effective long-range radar.

The slowly flowing Volga and Ural River flow through the vast area of ​​the front edge of the Ural Mountains in Western Siberia, and below these areas are rich in black.

oil!

At this time, in the Dumaz oil field, tall drilling equipment was being placed under intense urgency, and countless people were working hard here.

Standing on a high slope, a middle-aged man looked harsh and was holding a whip in his hand.
