    Above the clouds, a behemoth Century Bomber is flying at supersonic speed. This most advanced bomber in the world, the only super bomber, has become the necessary first wave aircraft for the Air Force to launch large-scale air strikes.  type.

    The aircraft sent to bomb South Africa is naturally not just this Century bomber. Unlike non-stealth aircraft, although the Century bombers will cooperate with each other, they will basically not conduct intensive bombing in the same airspace. The large bomb load makes a  Hardpoint targets usually require only a Century bomber to defeat.

    Plasma active stealth, phantom optical stealth, a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, and 6 tons of built-in weapons and ammunition all make the Air Force extremely partial to the Century Bomber. However, so far, the US military has still not found any good way to deal with this super bomber.

    "Target parameters have been set, and the attack begins." Even if the Century bomber flies into South Africa's airspace, it is difficult for South Africa to detect it. Only at the moment the attack begins, the Century bomber is freed from the state of optical phantom stealth, and the thick  The clouds also blocked the bomber, but they could not block the bombs of the joint guided attack. The joint guided bombs used by the Air Force are already the third generation, with more precise strike capabilities, greater power, and farther range.  The range also allows the Century bomber to avoid flying too close to the target when performing missions and protect its own safety as much as possible.

    Pieces of ammunition are sprinkled from the sky. These weapons are called Thunder-, which have completely replaced the early Thunder-, Thunder- and other bombs. They are the latest products of the Thunder series. They are equipped with a small ramjet engine, allowing the bomb to fly more than  160 kilometers. More importantly, the bomb has better resistance to electromagnetic interference. A simple little setting allows the bomb to perform special maneuvers when it is about to attack the target to prevent it from being destroyed by the enemy's terminal defense weapons.

    Another commonly used guided bomb is Thunderstone. Like Thunder-, this is also a third-generation joint guided weapon. Thunderstone series has always been famous for its gliding bombs. E- is also a gliding remote attack bomb, but it is more advanced.  advanced.  After being launched, it can unfold its own wings and control its direction through a vector engine. What is even more special is that it can intelligently adjust its flight posture multiple times, and can even repeatedly enter the attack target multiple times, so that the bomb can avoid repeated strikes.  .  The new glide bomb has a range of 400 kilometers. Of course, few bombers will launch this bomb beyond 400 kilometers.  However, the warhead of the thunderstone bomb has the configuration of submunitions and cluster bombs. The damage caused when used in war can be imagined.

    ??The Feiteng series of bombs, which are mainly laser-guided, are basically assigned to light attack aircraft and drones. Bombers now advocate outside defense zones, so laser guidance is rarely used.

    The targets of bomber attacks are not limited to military facilities. This Century bomber attack also involves many civilian facilities, including power plants, water plants, road and railway bridges, and even some government agency buildings. The main purpose of attacking these civilian facilities is not  It lies in destruction, but in dismantling South Africa's spirit and will to resist.

    For example, the Parliament Building in Pretoria, South Africa, was attacked by two Thunder and Thunderstone bombs. Although the two bombs did not completely destroy the building and only caused more than 20 casualties, for South Africa  The blow was huge, and South Africans fully understood what it was like to be an enemy of China.

    The South African media horrifiedly reported: "We have reason to suspect that the Chinese stealth bomber - Century, which carried out this air strike. Since the Century bomber was disclosed, it has always been one of the weapons that NATO allies are most worried about. It is China's advanced military technology.  The most typical representative is an aircraft that has completely realized the prefix of stealth, whether on radar or to the naked eye. The air strikes carried out by the Chinese Air Force's stealth bombers on our country are inhumane and worthy of condemnation, and have caused heavy losses to our country. However,  Here we should also question our government. Before choosing to join the war, did the government consider clearly how powerful the enemy it faced was? And in the face of a powerful enemy, what should South Africa do to avoid suffering greater harm?  crisis."

    Chinese official media also reported on this bombing operation. The Global Times, adhering to its usual left-wing radical views, sneered at South Africa: " one night is enough to ¡Í South Africa, which has just escaped from racial discrimination,  The emerging countries regretted it. Although South Africa continued to whitewash itself before the war, claiming that its war with our country was just and protected the so-called "democracy and freedom" in the world, it was like a reckless young man.  Hasty decisions without confidence may lead to catastrophe for oneself, and this catastrophe has already arrived. The US military, which has suffered successive defeats in the Mozambique Channel and Madagascar, cannot have enough power to protect South Africa, its ally, and China's large-scale air strikes have already begun.  Foreshadowing a larger scaleThe front-line battle is about to begin, and South Africa is like grass swaying in a storm, only to be destroyed.  "

    Just when people saw the newspaper, the second round of bombings by the Chinese Air Force and Hainan Airlines had already been carried out. The PLA, which was not short of money, was determined to give South Africa a good baptism with bombs, letting this military power know that they were not the same as a real military power.  Where exactly is the difference?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  The opponent is a supersonic bomber, and they will leave immediately after the attack. The US military and South Africa really have no choice.

    The second round of air strikes became even better, because China dispatched a large number of carrier-based attack aircraft, backfire tactical bombers, and a considerable number of multi-purpose fighters to participate in the bombing. The Chinese aviation force dispatched a total of 80 fighters.  Multiple sorties were carried out to bomb South Africa.  Despite being hit hard, the US military and its allies still spared no effort to protect South Africa and resist Chinese air strikes and subsequent invasions.

    This air strike did not go as smoothly as the PLA had expected, and the US military was also using its strength. After the failure of the Madagascar battle, the US military immediately knew that the Chinese's next target was South Africa, and South Africa, as a bridgehead into the Indian Ocean, could not have the slightest chance.  As a result, the US military did not hesitate to dispatch a large number of B2 fighters that were performing air defense missions in the country to go to South Africa to assist in defense.

    According to the analysis of the US military, the biggest advantage of Chinese fighters compared to American fighters is the generation difference. Although stealth fighters are of limited use in large clusters of air battles, especially now that the anti-stealth technologies of both sides have improved, they are super maneuverable,  Advanced technologies such as situational awareness still allow fifth-generation aircraft to take the initiative in air combat.

    The U.S. military dispatched 102 B2s across the entire Atlantic Ocean and came to South Africa non-stop. The air battle became more intense because of the addition of these U.S. B2s.  China's Hainan Airlines' J-L Falcon fell slightly behind the B2. Only the Air Force's J-L J-20 can steadily surpass the B2.  The B2 Raptor was also assisted by a large number of NATO air force fighters, making the intensity of the entire air battle no less intense than the air battle over Madagascar after the South African campaign began.

    In this air battle, the Chinese aviation force, as the main attacker, also faced huge tests and challenges. The South African battle was a battle in which the US military and NATO had been cornered by the Chinese PLA and had to fight to the death. Therefore, in times of crisis,  , they also exploded with more powerful combat effectiveness. In contrast, the pLA had a certain degree of arrogance due to its winning streak and lacked sufficient anticipation of the difficulties of the war, so it was caught off guard by NATO.

    Qi Yiming later believed that the frontline commander who deployed the air strike mission was negligent in his duties. There was a problem with the distance and formation of the escort fighters he arranged and the attack aircraft and bombers responsible for the main strike mission. As a result, U.S. military fighter jets rushed in soon after the battle.  They came over and attacked these strike fighters that had almost no self-protection capabilities, which caused a lot of strong and backfire damage.

    It wasn¡¯t until many Backfires and Maintainers were shot down that the Chinese aviation force realized the seriousness of the problem and pulled back its fighter jets, while the fighter jets weaved a tight protective net to engage in desperate air battles with U.S. and other NATO fighter jets.  In fact, the technical and tactical gap between the two sides is not very big. With the addition of a large number of B2s, the equipment gap has also been shortened. However, the Chinese aviation force still has a group of strike fighters to protect, so China is generally in a relatively weak position.

    Despite this, the Chinese aviation force still tried its best to break through the defense of the US military and NATO allied fighters. More than 100 strike fighters still entered South Africa's air defense circle and carried out air strikes on various military and civilian targets in South Africa.  In particular, Backfire bombers also bombed major ports such as Port Elizabeth and Cape Town in South Africa. The US aircraft carrier battle group had already anchored and headed west before the air attack began, so it did not become a victim of the air attack.

    Although the effect of the air strike was far from as good as the first century bomber air strike, it still achieved a lot of results. At least 3,000 NATO soldiers were killed or injured in the air strike. At the same time, China also paid some costs, with 6 strong and 9  A backfire and 3 fighter jets were shot down. In contrast, NATO aviation suffered the loss of 41 fighter jets, which was considered a slight victory.  Of course, the Chinese aviation force will not stop their plans because of this setback.
