SB, in later generations, it is a well-known national curse, but the current bomber has nothing to do with this national curse.
SB is the acronym for Soviet Fast Bomber, which means that it is a bomber! At the same time, it also came from the design bureau of Soviet large aircraft, the Tupolev Design Bureau.
In the early 1930s, the Soviet Air Force proposed the development of a light fast bomber. The experienced Tupolev Design Bureau quickly came up with the plan and passed it. Mass production began in 1934.
From the appearance point of view, this bomber is very similar to the bomber in World War II. The single wing has two engines at the root of the wing. The nose has a glass navigation and bomber function, and the two pilots on it. Crew cabin.
This is a medium-sized fast bomber with a theoretical load capacity of 600 kg. In practice, it is often mounted to 900 kg and has a maximum range of 980 kilometers.
At the same time, in terms of protection, this bomber has a certain armor defense capability at the beginning of its design. The body and key internal parts are made of high-strength Nobel manganese silicon steel and all-metal skin.
In this era, the SB-2 bomber can be regarded as a kind of bomber with excellent performance. It flies faster than many biplanes!
At the same time, its firepower is also strong! The self-defense weapon has 4 Soviet-made 7.62mm machine guns, which can effectively form a self-defense firepower net.
In the actual combat of later generations, in the sky of Eastern China, SB-2 often shot down Japanese fighters with low defensive power, and once shot down 5 Japanese fighters.
The Spanish Civil War is a cruel war. In this war, the Soviet Union, as the international column behind the scenes, fought arduously in Spain.
Madrid is the focus of the competition between the two sides!
The SB-2 bombers aided by the Soviet Union were deployed to the suburban airport of Madrid. At the same time, the Flies 1 flying team of the Spanish Republic Air Force was deployed here.
(I really don’t understand how the Spanish gave names like this, but this is a real name in history.)
has been deployed here for more than a week. At noon on this day, Colonel Kozlov, the captain of the bomber group, received a message that made him angry.
At a front-line airport in Badajoz, one's own side was attacked by the Condor Legion. All the fighters in the entire airport were blown up!
This is simply unacceptable. How many rubles were wasted on this batch of materials, and what a long transportation has gone through in the middle. Now, it is actually blown to ashes!
The air force of the international column also lost hundreds of people.
And now, one of their missions is to bomb the base of the Vulture Legion and return blood for blood!
After receiving this order, Colonel Kozlov, without any hesitation, immediately ordered his fleet, mount bombs, fill it with fuel, and go bombing!
In the past few days, they have been familiar with the entire Spanish airspace. The target location they are going to bomb has been marked on the flight chart. After a simple assignment, Colonel Kozlov stepped up first. Own plane.
Air operations in this era seem to have not been so exquisite. Isn’t it that simple to fly over, throw bombs, and then come back?
The engines on both sides were rumblingly started, the SB-2 bomber propeller turned, dragged the aircraft, aimed at the center line of the runway, and slid to the end of the runway before pulling up.
Following Kozlov, one bomber after another also took off. A total of sixteen bombers formed a cluster in the air.
Behind them, the Fly No. 1 flight team also took off 16 fighters, all of which were two-wing Yi-15 fighters.
Thirty-two planes formed a large fleet and flew towards the predetermined target to avenge their comrades!
For the SB-2 bomber, it was just enough for them to have a round-trip flight, while for the Iraq-15 fighter, they were almost flying in one direction. When they completed the **** mission, they would fly to Calzada. Landed in the base.
The sky in the afternoon was a bit yellowish, and the whole formation carried a dull atmosphere.
After more than an hour of flight, he gradually approached the sky above the target. Kozlov in front of him descended first.
Why lower the height? Of course, in order not to startle the snake, after all, the lower the height, the closer the distance to be found!
According to the statement ahead, at this time, the Germans are celebrating their victory. Therefore, their base must be unprepared. A surprise attack will easily succeed!
, the Iraq -15 fighter plane at the back also lowered its altitude. The large group of aircraft continued to fly towards the target at an altitude of several hundred meters.
threw the bomb on the head of the Condor Legion, let them know how powerful they are!
Until now, there are still no fighter planes of the Condor Legion taking off. It seems that they must be in a carnival!
The front of the bomber ~www.novelhall.com~ The pilot has attached his eyes to the rudimentary bombing sights. The common method of this bomber is horizontal bombing. Therefore, you must be prepared in time to drop bombs at any time. status.
The bomber was still flying steadily. The bomber behind, followed by the lead pilot in front, entered the bombing route together, getting closer and closer to the target!
is near, nearer!
"Damn it, who notified the target coordinates?" The navigator moved his eyes away from the bombing sight and shouted loudly, "There is nothing below!"
The cockpit above can't be seen directly below, but the navigator's vision is wide. Below are villages, farms, manors, where are some air bases!
If it wasn't the flight error coming all the way, it could only be wrong information!
The navigator is very depressed, there is no fart underneath, what else is bombing!
Observing the ground from the air is not easy, there will be various obstructions, and the speed of the aircraft is quite fast, which makes it more difficult.
Now, the navigator has reported, without any discovery, Kozlov is also stunned in his heart, is it going to return without success?
"Pull up the bomber and we fly higher," Kozlov said.
The more you fly, the farther you see, maybe the target is nearby?
Following his order, the pilot on the side pulled the steering wheel, the 12-meter-long bomber, raised the nose, and the belly of the plane looked very clear from the ground.
"Hit me hard!" On the ground, a young general who was squatting in the air-raid shelter with a camouflage net on his head and observing the sky with a binoculars shouted loudly.
A door of 40 mm Bofors antiaircraft guns, the camouflage nets were removed, and the barrels shook.
