Since its establishment, the Russian Imperial Army has had two aircraft models. They were the Swan-12 fighter, and the Ilya Muromec heavy bomber.
The former has a maximum flight speed of 190 km/h and is armed with a 12.7 mm aerial machine gun. The latter, on the other hand, has a maximum flight speed of 180 kilometers per hour and is capable of carrying bombs weighing up to 1.2 tons. That’s right, in this era, even if it can only carry 1.2 tons of bombs, it is definitely a real heavy bomber. Because, planes from other countries, at most, throw a few grenades below. In contrast, the Russian Empire was definitely the world’s leader in this regard.
But even so, Mikhail was not satisfied with the performance of these two fighters. It’s good that in his previous life, he even saw stealth fighters, let alone such a rudimentary model.
At Mikhail’s request, the Russian Imperial Air Force invested heavily in the formation of the MiG Aircraft Building Group and the Tupolev Aircraft Building Group to develop fighter jets and bombers, respectively. As for why this name was chosen, it can only be said that it was the will of His Majesty the Tsar. Of course, the chief engineer of the Tupolev aircraft building group was none other than Andrei Nikolaevich Tupolev, who was only twenty-seven years old.
With Mikhail’s help, Tupolev’s growth was faster and more amazing in this time and space.
The current size of the 620 national air force of the Russian Empire is not small, and 12 fighter wings have been formed, all equipped with Swan-12 fighters. And the bomber wing also formed 5, all equipped with Ilya Muromets heavy bombers.
As for newer fighters and bombers, the MiG Aircraft Group and the Tupolev Aircraft Group are working overtime on development. Mikhail, although not a technical expert, was able to make a lot of recommendations in this regard. The point is that he only needs to come up with these ideas, and then professional talents will develop and realize them.
Lieutenant General Ilarionovich, director of the Air Force of the Russian Empire, was greatly excited after receiving the combat order and immediately issued the order to enter the battle. For a time, all units of the Tsarist Imperial Air Force turned around one after another and rushed to the front.
The 2nd Fighter Wing, which was the first to arrive on the battlefield, and the 4th Bomber Wing, were already on the battlefield the day after the Germanic attack.
Squadron after squadron of Swan-12 fighters and Ilya Muromec heavy bombers took off from the front-line airfield (ABDA) and headed straight for the battlefield.
At this moment, the artillery of both sides is still engaged in endless fierce artillery battles, intending to do their best to destroy the enemy’s artillery positions. In this tragic artillery battle, both the Germanic Imperial Army and the Tsarist Imperial Army paid a lot of price.
But even so, both the Germans and the Russians are holding on.
On the contrary, it was a huge loss, which made the fire preparation of the Germanic Imperial Army impossible to complete. This means that they either choose to continue their fire preparations, or launch an attack without completing them. But in that case, the losses of the attacking forces will certainly not be small. But if you continue to prepare firepower, after seeing the powerful artillery of the Russians, the conditions will not take advantage of the slightest. At most, it was to let the artillery losses of both sides soar further.
This made the humble generals of the Germanic Empire a little speechless for a while.
They did not seem to have expected that the attack on the Russians had just begun, and that it had already evolved into this. The so-called start is very unfavorable!
Next, the generals of the Germanic Imperial Army suspected that life had happened.
I saw that in the sky, small black dots appeared.
For this thing, the Germans are no strangers and know that it is an airplane. However, they did not seem to expect that such a tall thing, the Russians were actually equipped, and it seemed that there were quite a few!
The artillery of the Germanic Imperial Army was large. So, they have dozens of planes and a large number of detection balloons to provide fire calibration for the artillery.
The Swan-12 fighter of the Tsarist Imperial Air Force flew to the battlefield at great speed.
At least compared to the speed of the Germanic planes of more than a hundred kilometers, the speed of the Swan-12 fighter at 190 kilometers per hour is already very fast.
“Russians, how did your plane fly so fast?” a pilot of the Germanic Empire yelled at the fighters of the Russian Imperial Air Force. The planes of this era are still open-topped. There is also no communication equipment.
But it was the fire of aviation machine guns that responded to him.
“Tap-da-da!”
I saw that the aviation machine gun located in the nose fired.
The large-caliber aviation machine gun fired a string of tracer bullets and plunged into the body of the Germanic aircraft. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
The fragile wooden body was instantly pierced and even torn to pieces.
After the engine was shot, it was ignited and smoked.
The plane, which lost power, lost control, fell to the ground.
“Oh God, help me!” the Germanic pilot roared in horror, never expecting that it would turn out like this.
“Boom!”
The plane fell to the ground and turned into a pile of scrap iron.
The Germanic pilot, I am afraid that he has not yet figured out until his death, why the Russian plane can actually fire bullets from the nose?
The Swan-12 fighter of the Russian Imperial Air Force began to clear the airspace. With great firepower and speed, they crushed the Germanic aircraft.
“God, why are the Russians flying so fast?”
“Damn, they moved the machine gun to the plane, how can we fight them?
The Germanic pilots, except for pistols for self-defense, simply did not have other weapons, so how could they deal with the Russian planes?
“Tap-da-da!”
The battle was completely one-sided, and the Swan-12 fighters of the Tsarist Imperial Air Force completely crushed the Germanic aircraft.
Even the Germanic planes could not even escape, but could only watch the Russians catch up and shoot them down with powerful firepower.
This made the Germanic pilots deeply understand what despair is. Perhaps for the first time, they may have discovered that air combat is not just a fist, it can be so fierce! .
