Chapter 581 FAB-50 and 500

The mixed task support fleet consists of twelve Peregrine-class interceptor ships carrying various equipment and carrying attack equipment.

The pure gray fleet equipped with a large number of additional armor plates floats in the high-altitude clouds. The 20mm cannon extended from the bottom is in a standby state that can be fired at all times. The white logo is painted on the armor attachment plate.

The falling square hammer cracked the surface, exposing the uneven mineral veins deep inside.

Standard Mining.

"But why is this thing called FAB-50?" A recruit picked up a white aerial bomb that was half the size of his chest and asked the noncommissioned officer standing aside.

"The prefix assigned by the commander-in-chief...should mean high-explosive aerial bomb, right? 50 kilograms is the weight of this thing, and the charge is only 40 kilograms." Another noncommissioned officer shrugged, took the iron bomb the size of a long winter melon, and placed it On the ejection chute of the Peregrine-class aerostat.

Then tie a thick rope to the tail of the aerial bomb, and the hook on the thick rope locks the small hook left at the tail of the aerial bomb.

The small bomb weighing 50 kilograms will be thrown into the cabin at the moment. Under the action of gravity, the tail safety will be removed by the thick rope hook, and the tail wind wheel will be unlocked, entering the countdown of its gorgeous life.

"Altitude one thousand, install fuze, set delay fuze for 15 seconds."

The ensign glanced at the altimeter, pressed the shipborne radio communicator beside him, and transmitted the information to each cruiser in the special service team.

They are not specialized bombers. If they need to drop bombs, they can only use this simplest method, relying on manpower to drop the bombs one by one from the aerostat.

But he knew that the leaders had already begun to develop attack aircraft specifically designed to deliver bombs to the surface.

The 152 artillery bombardment failed to break through the Holy See's shield for almost ten rounds, which made the leaders want to allocate part of the technology to develop attack aircraft responsible for handling heavy defense facilities.

This time, even with the support of the industrial command ship, the enemy's defense shields were not blasted. What about when their troops were deployed outside the support range of the industrial command ship's 152mm naval gun?

This is so worrying.

After all, a 152 shell only has a 6 kilogram charge, and the attack depends on the FAB-500, which has a 325 kilogram charge.

They need an aircraft, or rather an aircraft, that can cut into the battlefield faster than an aerostat and deliver extremely large-yield explosives.

The commander-in-chief seems to call the new super-heavy attack bomb...FAB-3000? The FAB-50 currently assigned to them for testing is the product of this aerial bomb program, but it is smaller.

"Yes, height is one thousand, install fuse, 15 seconds."

The noncommissioned officer in charge opened the box next to it and found metal devices in the shape of short, flat-headed screws the size of fists, and screwed them into the front of the bomb in the chute.

Click.

Locked.

Rotate the scale, the mechanical parts will jump slightly, and adjust to 15 seconds.

For various bombs that are measured in kilograms, fuse reassembly is responsible for the safety of one's own life and that of the troops... not to mention that this is a 50-kilogram aerial bomb.

As long as there is no fuse installed, it will not explode even if it suffers a strong external impact...except for open combustion.

At least it will make you feel more at ease when sleeping next to it.

The small body of the aerospace ship cannot withstand the explosion of a 50 kilogram "small aerial bomb" with a 40 kilogram charge.

In this way, the aerial bomb changed from an iron shell wrapped with explosives to a standard aerial bomb that could be placed on the launcher and entered working condition.

This batch of small aerial bombs is just test equipment to pave the way for subsequent large aerial bombs. This task force also brought six FAB-500s for testing.

"Aim at the target?" The second lieutenant held the stopwatch and listened to the reports of each ship's readiness.

"Aiming completed, wind speed is 5 meters per second, light wind, we can start dropping bombs." said the observer who looked at the optical observation window.

Aerial ships have a significant advantage over traditional bombers, that is, they can easily hover over an area for a long time and drop bombs. Like airships, they can quietly and smoothly calibrate their bombings in ten minutes. trajectory.

During the bombing process, it hovered close to stationary and poured force on the surface of a piece of airspace. Instead of a bomber, it needed to seize the few attack windows to attack.

Hovering airships have an almost unlimited attack window, as well as attack time.

They have enough time to observe the surface, confirm their target, adjust the attack angle, calibrate and re-deliver the bomb.

"It seems that our friends from the Round Island Alliance have lost control of this area and need us to help them wipe their butts." The second lieutenant held down the communicator and gave the attack command: "Drop the bombs freely. After all the bombs are dropped, we must Observe the impact of the blow.”

He picked up the dark green military telescope, adjusted the scale to 1,000 meters, and looked at the Holy See troops who were still digging fortifications on the surface.

The red and white Cross flag representing the Holy See has been planted in this formation. They dealt with the captured soldiers of the Island Alliance and inventoried the equipment they captured.

"The industrial command ship may not necessarily be within the call range. We also need other rapid support capabilities... Let's take a look at the power of the high-explosive aerial bombs sent by the technical department and say hello to our new friends."

꺘Twelve Peregrine interceptor ships opened their side magazines at once, allowing the aerial bombs mounted in chutes to leave the cabin. Small high-explosive aerial bombs of ten kilograms fell to the surface like white birds with broken wings. .

‘Click. ’

FAB-50 left the cabin, the insurance was released during the fall, and the wind turbine speedometer at the tail was unlocked and spun rapidly.

Also falling was a heavy bomb that stretched out its four-way tail like a cigar, and a FAB-500 heavy bomb was also detached from the mount when the bombing order was issued.

The wide wind turbine made a shrill whistle.

Falling.
