In this era, the Soviets' technological strength was also strong. For example, in 36 years, the Soviets designed a large four-engine aircraft. When the military parade in Red Square in Moscow, this Pé-8 bomber flew through the sky, it attracted a stir among Western experts.

The Red Empire actually has such powerful bombers!

When this bomber completed the parade, the mechanics hidden in the ammunition warehouse were exhausted and the design was not designed, the aircraft lacked a suitable engine.

The am-34 series engine did not have a suitable supercharger, so the engineer installed an m-100atsn-2 engine in the bomb bay of the prototype, which was used to provide pressurized air to the main engine of the aircraft.

At the same time, the engine oil radiator needs to be operated manually, so in the sky, people act as machines and completed this impossible task.

Of course, the Soviets are also developing. At the beginning of this year, Soviet experts installed improved models of the shvetsovash-82 engine and am-35 engine on this aircraft. These two engines provide the stable performance of the Pe-8, but the range is greatly shortened.

This aircraft is finally ready to use.

Let’s look at the West. In Germany, large bombers across the intercontinental have already performed strategic bombing missions. The Junker-290, the four-engine German engine, has long been a bomber with excellent stability.

Now, the first six Pe-8 bombers produced were all deployed to the 432 bomber regiment. The bomber regiment secretly transferred to Central Asia. Their mission was to bomb Tehran!

The short-range SB-2 mainly bombs the big cities along the route, Tabriz, etc. Of course, the bombing will not have too many effects, mainly symbolic, tell the Iranians to surrender quickly, otherwise, wait for death!

The bombing regiment commander Yakov sat in his bomber. Although the performance was not great, this aircraft required a lot of manpower, with 11 crew members to control this large aircraft.

"Start the engine." He looked at the pilot sitting next to him and made preparations before takeoff in an orderly manner.

Turning various switches, the oil pump works, and then, a stream of black smoke emerged from the outermost engine, and the fuselage trembled, and the No. 1 engine started!

Then there were No. 4, No. 3, No. 2, and four engines started one after another, and the entire plane began to tremble and was ready to go!

After calling the tower, Yakov's bomber aimed at the runway. The pilot gently pushed the accelerator. The plane slid on the runway, faster and faster, and the fuselage became lighter. Finally, at the end of the runway, the bomber pulled up and drilled into the dark night sky.

Behind, five other Pet-8 bombers took off in turn, and after a formation of long aircraft with navigation lights on, six bombers flew southeastward.

Target, Tehran.

Flying at night is quite a test of the pilot's skills and their equipment. Until now, there has been no special development in the Soviet regiment.

Similar to the German radio navigation equipment, it requires advanced electronic technology as support. Until now, most Soviet tanks have not even equipped with radio stations and have no ability to equip such things.

Fortunately, the Soviets also have their own magic weapons, and of course they are compass and navigation maps!

Yes, this is the most primitive way, using the compass to determine the direction and draw the trajectory on the navigation chart. At the same time, you can also use Ardabil and Gazwin along the way to accurately find Tehran.

The capital of the Iranians is too close to the north. If it is during the day, they can fly over Tehran soon after they fly over the Caspian Sea!

After entering the sky above Iran, the Pe-8 bomber turned off the navigation lights. Now, they rely entirely on their own navigation maps to navigate, which requires a solid basic flying skills.

Fortunately, the Soviet bomber flight crew were all good. Soon, the navigator found the first big city below, Ardabil, where he corrected the navigation error and almost flew directly over Ghazwin. In front of him, Tehran was in front!

"Note that you are about to reach the target and prepare to drop bombs!" Yakov issued an order calmly.

Thanks to oil revenue, Iran's national economy is constantly improving, so their big cities are bright at night and can be seen from afar, just when they passed by Ardabil and Ghazwin.

Now, the Pe-8 bomber, which lacks any night bombing equipment, drops bombs horizontally at high altitudes and relies entirely on the target's lights. Tehran should be the lights shining.

However, the navigator in front had already emerged with increasingly bigger questions.

There was no light in front of me, and it was dark, and the entire earth could not find any target!

"Report, Tehran may have implemented light control!" The navigator quickly reported his inference.

The biggest advantage of night bombing is that you don’t have to worry about interception by the opponent’s fighter jets. After all, the slow bomber is almost killed in front of the fighter jets.

However, the biggest problem of night bombing is finding targets.

Every night bombing in Germany is carefully prepared, and the cooperation of ground personnel is required to guide the target. Now, the Soviet bombing is completely based on a brightly lit metropolis.

This is simply too ideal. Of course, in history, they have succeeded because the Iranians are even more idiotic.

Now, Tehran issued an order to implement light control just fifteen minutes ago. When every building is turned off, it was only five minutes ago.

Even so, it has caused huge trouble to the bomber troops in the sky. What should I do?

Continue to lower the altitude? Then they have to lower it to several hundred meters before they can see the ground clearly. They will easily be destroyed by the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery. Since the opponent has controlled the lights, it means that they are already prepared for their own bombing!

Moreover, it is all mountainous areas, and flying here at low altitudes at night is not something that ordinary people dare to do.

"According to the navigation map, enter the bombing route and carry out the bombing mission!" Yakov issued an order.

It is also impossible to go back to flight. There is only one chance. After the bombing is completed, they will turn north and leave the Caspian Sea. Now they can only bombard blindly in the air!

Determine the arrival time according to the speed and distance of the route, and then bomb!

This is almost a blind bombing. Anyway, this mission is just to throw a few bombs into Tehran and intimidate the Iranians.

So the navigator did not hesitate: "We were on the route, and we dropped the bomb in one minute, and the bomb hatch door opened!"

"bomb!"

Bombs rolled down from the belly bomb bay of the Pe-8 bomber and fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
