Military Technology - Vol 5 Chapter 2639

Six rockets were fired in just a few seconds, dragging a long smoke path towards the ground target. Soon, six rockets hit a position directly, stirring up waves of smoke and dust.

Immediately afterwards, the smart attack UAV was pulled up, and the pylon was rotated, and an air-to-surface missile entered the ready state. This is a small air-to-ground missile mounted on a drone, used to attack some precise targets.

In the first screen shot of the smart attack drone, the smart system locked on a tank target running on the ground, and then the missile was launched.

Immediately after the pylon rotated, another air-to-surface missile also rotated out, and then launched.

I saw these two air-to-surface missiles draw a large circle in the air, and then swooped down to attack the two moving tanks and armored vehicles.

Boom, boom!

Following two explosions, the two tank targets that were moving at high speed were precisely concentrated, and a violent explosion occurred, and the targets were directly blown into the sky.

da da da da…

At the same time, the automatic cannon under the belly of the smart attack drone also rang, and began to shoot at the remaining moving targets on the ground.

A string of shells hit the ground, splashing waves of dust.

The targets were successfully destroyed one by one, either pierced through a big hole, or directly blown to pieces. Although the power of the 20mm machine gun is limited, it is not something these targets can resist.

After venting these shells, the smart attack UAV immediately raised its altitude. Then the rotating pylon in the magazine under the belly of the machine rotated to reveal the last ammunition.

This is an ordinary aerial bomb without any guidance device. In other words, this aerial bomb needs precise calculations before it can hit the target accurately.

With the invention of the aircraft and its use in warfare, various weapons have also been equipped on the aircraft one after another, including the two most important weapons.

One is the aviation machine gun, or aviation cannon. And the other one is the aerial bomb.

Even until the 1960s and 1970s, the main offensive weapons of aircraft were these two types. One was used for air combat, and of course it also had aviation machine guns for land strikes. Later, it developed into aircraft of various types and calibers. gun.

The other type is aerial bombs. The early aerial bombs are actually mounted on the aircraft, and then fly over the enemy and drop them to bomb the opponent.

Later, on this basis, aerial bombs that were actually mounted on aircraft and used for land strikes were derived. The earliest aerial bombs actually put it bluntly. They welded a few tail fins on the tail of the shell, so that it could ensure that the fuze on the warhead hit the ground, thereby detonating the aerial bomb. Thereby effectively avoiding the duds produced because the fuze does not hit the ground.

Later, with the development of aerial bombs, various aerial bombs appeared one after another, but most of them were similar in shape and structure. Later, according to the needs, people designed different fuzes, tail fins, and various ammunition for these aerial bombs to adapt them to various combat environments.

But at this time, these aerial bombs basically do not have a guiding function, which means that these aerial bombs are ordinary bombs that need to be thrown by the pilot.

In order to improve the hit rate of aerial bomb delivery, countries have also started research in this area one after another. Initially, of course, it relied on the experience of the pilots, and the pilots made judgments and controlled the aircraft to drop aerial bombs on ground targets.

This method is very dangerous, and the dive-bombing method is generally used, that is, the aircraft must enter the dive-bombing route and drop bombs after it reaches the sky above the target. In this way, these aerial bombs will fall on the target along the bombing trajectory.

But this method of bombing is very dangerous, and the hit rate is very limited. Often these important ground targets are surrounded by various anti-aircraft artillery. Once a fighter plane dives and drops bombs, it is easy to be attacked by these anti-aircraft artillery.

So in many cases, pilots have to brave the hail of bullets to drop bombs. In order to avoid being hit, some pilots may panic and drop bombs before reaching the predetermined position, and then quickly pull up to escape, resulting in a very low hit rate that was not very high.

With the development of aviation technology, large bombers specially used for ground bombing appeared and began to undertake the task of ground bombing. This type of bomber carries more ammunition, which is unmatched by previous dive bombers and fighter jets.

Because of its large size and large bomb load, it is naturally impossible to carry out dive bombing. Therefore, bombers usually use horizontal bombing, that is, after flying quickly over the target, open the magazine and drive to drop the bomb, and then drop all the ammunition in one go, thus forming a huge bombing area on the ground.

The number of these ammunition can be used to cover the target area to a large extent, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying ground targets.

Then the problem comes, how to aim at the ground target when dropping bombs in such a high airspace, this becomes a problem. So the aerial sight, that is, the bomb sight, appeared.

It is generally equipped on the belly of the aircraft, and is observed by the bombardier in the cabin. After the scope is aimed at the ground target, the bombing can begin immediately. In this way, the aerial bomb can be dropped on the ground target more accurately, thereby destroying the target.

However, in this way, the accuracy rate is actually very limited. Because this kind of unguided and unpowered aerial bomb is delivered entirely by aircraft. What kind of altitude, what kind of speed, and even the wind speed in the air will affect the accuracy of bombing, so a special bombing computer appeared later for this calculation.

But even so, the popularity rate of this kind of conventional aerial bombs is very limited, otherwise it would not be possible to develop the concept of so-called carpet bombing. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

With the development of guidance technology, this kind of ordinary aerial bombs has gradually been eliminated, only now some countries are still forced to mount these iron bombs to bomb the enemy. There are also some countries that use these ordinary aerial bombs for daily training, which is considered to be a waste of inventory. After all, the dismantling of these ordinary aerial bombs is also troublesome, and it is time-consuming, laborious and expensive.

Now, this smart attack UAV is going to demonstrate the airdrop of this kind of ordinary aerial bomb, which arouses everyone’s strong interest, and of course they can’t help but question it.

Without any human control, can this kind of unpowered, unguided ordinary aerial bomb be able to hit the target with precision.

Didi Didi…

With the sound of a beep, in the first-view screen of the intelligent attack drone, the intelligent system has locked on the ground target, which is a bridge target.

When the smart attack UAV arrived in the predetermined airspace, the ordinary aerial bomb mounted on the rotating pylon was released immediately. Under the gaze of everyone, it fell towards the ground target.
