The more advanced equipment, the fewer operators are needed. For example, submarines used to need two or three hundred people. With the development of automation equipment, even three shifts, it also needed about 100 people. So was bombers. In the past, old bombers needed five or six people, including navigators, pilots, captains and gunners. Now, The number of personnel needed for advanced bombers has also been reduced to two.

The B-2 bomber has such a configuration. Although the bomber is huge, there are only two people, all sitting side by side in front, with the pilot on the left and the mission commander on the right.

Though as like as two peas, the 4 large windscreens are located in the front and the sides of the cockpit. The field of vision is fairly good. When it is time to divide the work, pilots are responsible for flying the aircraft, and the mission commander is responsible for navigation and weapons dropping. But the two occupants are identical in their equipment, and can complete the task alone if necessary.

In fact, the electronic equipment of this bomber is developed, and one person can really complete all tasks. However, if there is only one person flying this intercontinental bomber, it will definitely be a long and boring time. It will even reduce the efficiency of performing tasks and allow two people to operate. On the one hand, it is backup and on the other hand, it will eliminate the loneliness of the task.

Now, Ted is obviously not wilting. He has no sense of excitement about the task. George knows that this old partner has something on his mind, but he refuses to tell himself.

The flying wing bombers flew into the sky, and there were four accompanying bombers behind them. This time, they dispatched five B-2 bombers, which is definitely the first time in the world. You know, now they have just completed a full set of flight training and have the initial combat mission.

Before taking off, Ted began to input target data into the system in front of him. As the most advanced bomber, its navigation equipment is also very advanced. In addition to the commonly used inertial navigation equipment, there is the Northrop nas-26 astronomical inertial unit. The principle of this system has lasted for thousands of years. It is the principle of starlight navigation. There is a photoelectric telescope system with a stable base, which can lock pre selected stars on cloudy days.

As for advanced GPS navigation equipment, their aircraft has just been equipped, so they have not been carried in. Later production models will be available. They will be equipped in the next improvement. Even without GPS, their navigation system is already very advanced and can fully meet the needs. You know, this starlight navigation system, It was originally prepared for their intercontinental missiles.

Now, the bombers fly into the sky. Before flying over the land and entering the sea, they join the tanker for an air refueling. Then, they will be loaded with 75 tons of fuel, fly across the ocean, fly to the intended destination, and fly over the airspace of many countries on their routes. However, there is nothing to worry about. No one will find them, They are ghosts in the night!

This is the charm of technology. Stealth aircraft give them the ability to fly freely in the sky. They don't care about any enemy's radar. Nothing can find them or attack them. They just need to pay attention to their flight safety and avoid mechanical accidents.

"I'm going to rest in the back," Ted shouted to his companion, then unfastened his seat belt and left the seat.

The space of the bomber is spacious. After all, if you want to carry out the long intercontinental flight mission, you can't always be in your seat. That's too tired.

Just behind their side-by-side seats, there is also a seat, which can be used to carry the third additional passenger or as a seat for two people to rest. The backrest can be put back to form a comfortable recliner.

In fact, there is enough space for two reclining chairs, but in this case, there may be a scene of laziness. The two crew members come to rest and let the bomber fly against the autopilot in the sky. In this way, there will be potential safety hazards. Therefore, only one is set in the back, so that the two crew members can take turns to rest during the long flight.

Ted lay in his seat, closed his eyes and remembered the task again.

Bombing the air base of yezao country, they will not turn back. They are the key targets of bombing the capital of yezao country, such as the presidential palace, postal building, power plant, etc. they are also invincible. However, bombing the Embassy of Han country is nothing!

Ted's plane contained 16 bombs inside. According to the plan, they were going to bomb eight key targets in the capital of coconut jujube country, throwing two at each target. He had planned the route. According to the target data, they were going to fly twice, bomb, turn around in the scheduled airspace, and then bomb again. Originally, he had no psychological burden, but, When he finally studied the target data, he found that one of the targets was not a military target at all, but a civilian one, and it was also an embassy of the Han people!

The superior actually gave him such a task, which worried him. As a soldier, he must obey the order, but this order will plunge him into the abyss. How can he bomb civilian targets or embassy targets? After this bombing, it will certainly cause an uproar all over the world!

Considering from his superiors, he can guess something. He must give some color to the Han people. After all, those weapons are all Han people. The Han people still don't provide weapon data to the eagle country, so they suffered a big loss last time. Therefore, he used this way to vent his anger. Afterwards, he will say it was a mistake. Those hateful politicians!

Ted thought about it and couldn't sleep. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"This mission, but our first bombing, if the bombing is wrong, it is not perfect." it seems that George, who knows Ted is not asleep, chatted with Ted.

"Yes, it was F117, but now they are all blown up and can't go out," Ted said.

"F117, it's not good. It's a front-line attack aircraft with less ammunition than our B2." George said confidently: "the first time they acted, they lost one because of mechanical failure."

In those years, F117 went to bomb butterfly country, but one was missing when it came back. Later, after careful analysis, it was identified as a mechanical failure, which also shamed the F117 fleet. Now, the B2 bomber force always likes to talk about it.

"Yes," Ted agreed casually. Suddenly, he thought of something. Was it really the mechanical failure of F117? Could it have been beaten down?
