How many enemy planes can the Ming Dynasty Air Force shoot down in one day?
This question is both difficult and easy to answer!
Why is this so?
The reason is both simple and complex!
To explain in one sentence, it depends on how many aircraft the enemy's air force is equipped with and how many aircraft it can dispatch!
Generally speaking, if the enemy's air force dispatches less than a thousand aircraft at one time, even if they are all heavy bombers, the Ming Air Force can still surround them!
Fighters that are less resistant to fighting are easier to solve. The performance of the Ming fighter is obviously better than other similar products, and the opponent will be shot down before running back to the airport.
After the coalition troops landed in the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula, it was not that there were no air battles, it was just...
The indigenous armed forces dispatched fifty fighter planes in an attempt to attack the Ming army's logistics troops who were unloading goods on the beach.
Unexpectedly, there were Ming army fighter planes on the beach responsible for surveillance. More than 20 "Flamingos" piloted by veterans killed all the invading enemies.
This happened on March 8th, which amazed the pilots of the Ming Dynasty Air Force. They believed that the strength of the indigenous armed air force should not be underestimated, and might be stronger than the Tsarist Russian Air Force back then.
The original intention of thinking this way is to hope that the other party will continue to come to deliver victory results, otherwise the pilots will appear to be doing nothing when performing patrol missions.
But they really overestimated the strength of the indigenous people. Fifty fighter planes were all they had. As a result, not only did they not succeed in the sneak attack, they were swept away by the opponent and starved...
The requirements for the pilots of the Ming Air Force are not high. They only need to provide them with fifty target drones every time. However, the other party cannot produce them at all!
With one to fifty planes, even a second-rate country like Sweden will not be able to withstand this level of war of attrition in one month.
Today's fighter jets are no longer cheap enough to be manufactured in large quantities. Whether they are single-engine fighters or twin-engine fighters, they are all piled up with silver coins.
The French Air Force, which claims to be the second largest air force in the world, currently has less than 5,000 fighter jets. The Ottoman Empire and the Inca Empire have fighter jets that are comparable to France.
The only one with superior strength is the Ming Dynasty, but the Air Force does not have many active fighters. The Naval Air Force has become a veritable second air force.
The combined number of fighter and attack aircraft of the Air Force and Hainan Airlines exceeds 10,000, which is approximately equal to the total number of fighter jets of the air forces of all European countries.
The Ming Empire also has the ability to produce more than 5,000 high-performance fighter jets per year. Even if there are huge losses on the front line, it can make up for the gap in a short time.
Punishing the natives of the Kingdom of Naples is equivalent to a strong man beating a preschooler.
Basically there is no suspense at all, it's just that the other party doesn't see it that way.
As long as you have some brains, you won't continue to struggle to your death.
Rome could support this group of indigenous people, and Emperor Haojing wanted to see how strong their support was.
It is best to give a bunch of heavy weapons so that the coalition forces can achieve brilliant results.
Otherwise, if our side launches a bombardment and shelling, more than half of the people on the other side will be killed or wounded, and this battle will not bring any sense of accomplishment...
The blackboard of the Tenth Air Force has been clearly marked, except for March 8th, before and after it is "the enemy has not dispatched"!
So much so that the fighter pilots of the Air Force are complaining about each other. Do they only have these fifty in their hands?
Why not buy more fighter jets?
Button, swish, what the hell!
Before I could get enough of the fight, the other side was gone?
What the hell is going on?
Please, please send fighter planes over to attack us quickly!
Fighter pilots have two missions each, air patrol and ground attack!
The air combat mission relies entirely on the cooperation of the other party. If the other party is unwilling to act as a rival, there is nothing the Ming Air Force can do!
Do you still have to send fighter planes there yourself?
Not that bad~!
Nowadays, even the ground staff are joking that the indigenous pilots do not need to learn how to land the fighter plane at all. Instead, they can parachute after taking off!
Because there is absolutely no suspense in air combat. If the opponent can escape from the pilots of the Ming Air Force, then he is considered to be capable!
Due to the indigenous air force, the fighter pilots of the Tenth Air Force were slow to accumulate experience, were lazy about their tasks, and gradually became rusty in air combat skills. The top brass of the air force believed that all of this was the responsibility of the other side!
But soon, the Naples natives purchased a hundred fighter jets from Venice through secret channels, and they were brand-new "Falcon" fighter jets.
This transaction finally made the indigenous people change their views on Venetian people. They finally had some conscience and did not completely become lackeys under the feet of the yellow-skinned monkeys.
Relevant training started quickly. Since Rome had previously provided "Falcon" fighter jets, it was easy for the indigenous pilots to get started.
This type of fighter is almost the first choice for the air forces of non-Ming-friendly countries in Europe. A single engine is cheaper than a twin-engine version, and the performance of the "Falcon" fighter is second only to the "Flamingo" fighter made by the Ming Empire.
Regarding the origin of these fighter jets, the Venetian arms dealer is tight-lipped, saying that it is a commercial secret and cannot be disclosed.
On the contrary, they could get it, and as long as the Neapolitans had enough silver coins, they could keep trading.
If they could obtain a stable and reliable arms purchase channel, it would be enough to cheer up the Naples natives.
In addition to their lack of soldiers with practical combat experience, the remaining problem is heavy weapons.
Being able to purchase up to a hundred advanced fighters at a time can directly restore the strength of our own air force.
On March 25, the newly familiar indigenous air force pilots received the order to take off for combat.
Because the war situation was already extremely bad for them, Yellow-skinned Monkey's forward troops on the western front had already reached the northern border between the Kingdom of Naples and Rome.
Once the opponent launches a horizontal cutting attack from west to east, the land channel connection between our own side and Rome will be cut off.
Judging from the current situation, although the Kingdom of Naples still has a territory northwest of Rome, it cannot hold on for too long.
What disappoints them is that all the previous battles were completed by their own troops.
The officers sent by Rome had been gesticulating behind the scenes and had no intention of joining the battle on the front line.
Since the war began, the Roman army has been retreating very consciously, for fear of any battle with the yellow-skinned monkeys.
The Swiss army, which the Neapolitans had high hopes for, did not seem to take the initiative to intervene in the war.
The reason given by the Swiss was that they were here to defend Rome and not elsewhere!
This bullshit excuse makes the people of Naples very angry. The yellow-skinned monkeys are so ferocious. Can you protect Rome with just 50,000 people?
The city of Naples was not much better than the city of Rome, but within six days, it was razed to the ground by the fleet of yellow-skinned monkeys!
The yellow-skinned monkeys' naval guns may not be able to reach the city of Rome, but their bombers certainly can!
The timid Swiss and the selfish Romans are waiting for bombs that eat yellow-skinned monkeys in the city of Rome!
The more the people of Naples thought about it, the angrier they became. If they had known this, they might as well have just accepted the management of the yellow-skinned monkey.
There is no need to spend so much money, and there is no need to kill so many people!
Maybe he can follow the yellow-skinned monkey into the city of Rome and deal with those Romans who can tell lies!
If you have to fight the yellow-skinned monkey with your mouth, should you fight with your mouth?
How many times in history have successful struggles been achieved through words?
Look at the yellow-skinned monkey's allies, and then look at your own side...
In the eyes of the people of Naples, the status of Rome has plummeted.
If they sit back and watch the destruction of the Kingdom of Naples, the Romans will be synonymous with Judah from now on!
First, he encouraged his side to fight hard, but when he saw that the other side actually took action, he quickly changed his attitude and began to sit on the sidelines.
Until you draw a clear line with your own side to ensure that your own interests will not suffer any loss, even if you betray your allies!
Now some people in Naples have secretly said that if a Roman city is captured, then Naples must take the credit!
The city of Rome has long been captured by barbarians. Assuming that the yellow-skinned monkeys are also barbarians, they might also be able to capture the city of Rome!
The results of the air battle on March 25 indirectly proved this inference...
Senior indigenous people believe that the Air Force's long-term training will not only fail to help reverse the situation of the war, but will also accelerate the wear and tear of fighter jets.
If you train for a month, I am afraid that more than half of the fighter will be damaged before you can fight the yellow-skinned monkey.
So as long as the pilot masters takeoff, landing, and firing, he can go into battle.
The key is to have appropriate tactics. Try to avoid fighting with the yellow-skinned monkey's fighter planes. You must specifically target its logistics troops and hit the opponent's supply line with a heavy blow!
It’s absolutely right to think so, and it’s absolutely right to do it.
However, the upper-level indigenous people did not know that the Ming army had deployed radars at the commanding heights of the mountainous area. As long as their fighter planes went south, they would be discovered.
There is a way to avoid radar detection, and that is to fly through the valleys, but unfortunately the indigenous air force pilots do not have such skills.
If the level is not high enough, no matter how advanced the fighter plane is, facing the veterans of the Ming Air Force, it will ultimately be nothing more than a target drone delivered to your door!
One hundred target drones!
This kind of unbelievable good news is like a bolt from the blue to the Ming Army fighter pilots!
Most pilots believe that the probability of being struck by lightning on a sunny day should be greater than this!
Being a pilot patrolling the air is a big bargain, and it's like a good thing.
Whether it was an air force pilot or a naval aviation pilot, after receiving the order, he immediately flew a fighter plane to intercept it.
The other party's flight route is very simple, that is, first fly west to the seaside, and then go all the way south along the coastline.
This not only makes it easier to find prey, but also reduces the possibility of hitting a mountain.
To be honest, Aboriginal pilots are more afraid of hitting a mountain than being shot down by a yellow-skinned monkey...
The specific reason is that it flies too high and is easily discovered by the opponent first.
If you fly too low, you will easily hit a mountain, so you fly to the beach first.
Their cleverness was that they effectively used Rome's southern airspace when flying from east to west!
The indigenous pilots knew that the yellow-skinned monkeys had not yet declared war on Rome, so they should not violate its airspace for the time being.
This gives your side a good opportunity to take advantage of this loophole. If you are lucky, you may be able to achieve brilliant results!
Jiexuan has deployed a dual aircraft carrier battle group in the northern waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea west of Rome. In view of the current embarrassing situation of disparity in naval and air strength between the two sides, this arrangement should not be a big problem in theory.
In addition, the Tenth Air Force used three groups of fighter jets to patrol the nearby coastline in three shifts, which basically made it foolproof.
Whether it is an air force pilot or a carrier-based aircraft pilot, when taking off for patrol, they all adopt a low-speed method.
This can increase the time in the air. What if my blind cat encounters a dead mouse?
Since they cannot attack Rome for the time being, they can only wander back and forth over the prescribed one-third of an acre of land.
No pilot is willing to perform this kind of mission, because the mission intensity is higher than that of the exercise, and live ammunition must be mounted every time.
The real difficulty is that being slack for a long time will cause the pilot to be unable to concentrate quickly in the event of an emergency attack by an enemy aircraft.
If a sneak attack by an enemy plane is successful, it will become the laughing stock of the entire brigade, and even the entire aviation fleet...
Since the war began, neither the naval aviation nor the air force has lost a single fighter plane in the battle.
There were only fighter jets that had a malfunction and made an emergency landing, but this was a completely understandable and normal accident.
The soldiers monitoring the radar screen did not have time to count how many light spots appeared on the screen, so they could only rely on experience to quickly report that the number of enemy aircraft was about a hundred.
Of course, the air force on the other side did not report that it had lost thirteen fighter jets during training. Now it could only dispatch eighty-seven, but it still reported that it had dispatched one hundred.
The troops patrolling the battlefield in this matter included thirty-six "Flamingos" of the 17th Fighter Group, as well as the Navy's twelve "Blackfoot Beacons" and eight "Flamingos" carrier-based aircraft.
There were fifty-six Ming fighter jets in the battlefield airspace, and the number of invading enemy aircraft was more than one and a half times that number.
For Ming army pilots, this is a great challenge!
The difficulty of the "challenge" is that there are not enough enemy planes!
According to Emperor Haojing, if you are an ace pilot, unless the opponent is also an ace pilot, how can you show your superb abilities in a one-on-one duel?
The performance of the fighter jets manufactured by Daming is the highest in the world, the training intensity is also the highest, the subjects are the most comprehensive, the process is the most scientific and reasonable, and the treatment is one of the highest.
In this case, it is equivalent to the best pilot flying the best fighter aircraft into the air to fight. One-on-one is not difficult at all, and the intensity is not much higher than that of daily training.
In most actual combat, the enemy pilots are not as good as the imaginary enemy pilots during exercises...
This is the fundamental reason why the Ming Dynasty Air Force and Naval Air Force must win every battle!
If you don't have the ability to fight one against two, or even one against three, or one against four, then you can't be considered an ace pilot.
Perhaps one against two would be very difficult in later generations, but now, it is a very simple thing.
Two enemy planes flew in the opposite direction, and the Ming army pilots could take advantage of the range and accuracy of the cannon to kill one of them directly.
Wouldn't this instantly become one against one?
Even if the opponent's two fighter planes are following and pursuing them, the Ming army pilots can still take advantage of the speed, ceiling, and climb rate of their own fighters to complete the Cobra maneuver and seize a favorable position.
Whether it is head-on attack, trailing pursuit, escape attack, dive attack, etc., the Ming army has corresponding tactical strategies, and pilots need to fully master them before participating in actual combat.
