70 years ago the Germans first used the V-1 projectile

55
The German development of an aircraft-projectile (cruise missile) "V-1" was the first such unmanned aerial vehicle, which was used during the Second World War. V-1, also known under the designations V-1, A-2, Fi-103, was in service with the German army in the final part of the war. The name of this rocket comes from the German word Vergeltungswaffe (weapon retaliation). A projectile with a warhead weighing up to a ton could hit targets at a distance of up to 250 km, and the latest missiles - up to 400 km.

The project of this weapon was a joint development of German designers Fritz Gosslau (company Argus Motoren) and Robert Lusser (employee of the company Fieseler). In July 1941, the fruit of their joint work, which received the Fi-103 code, was approved by the German Ministry aviationheaded in those years by the Führer's closest associate (Nazi No. 2, as he was often called) Reich Marshal Aviation German Goering. The industrial production of the V-1 projectile was launched at the end of 1942.

The launch of the rocket was launched on the island of Usedom, located opposite the mouth of the Oder River in the Baltic Sea. During the Second World War, the “Usedom” concentration camp was located on this island. The prisoners held in this camp were used by the Germans in factories that produced Fau-1 projectiles. At the same time, the production of “miracle weapons” in the form of V-1 and V-2 missiles was delayed for several months due to the fact that 17-18 of August 1943 of the year British aircraft conducted a large-scale air operation against objects located on the island.

70 years ago the Germans first used the V-1 projectile

The bombing of the island became possible after the intelligence of the Army of the krayovoi (AK) conducted one of its most successful operations. The Poles were able to develop a German research center in Peenemünde, where they assembled Fau-1 projectiles and V-2 missiles. The first information about this strategic object appeared in AK in the autumn of 1942 of the year, and in March of 1943 of the year a detailed report was sent to England, which allowed the British to organize an air operation against the island.

For the first time, the Fau-1 13 was massively used on June 1944 of the year against Great Britain, exactly one week after the Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy, opening the Second Front in Europe. On that day, an air strike was struck at London. Later, the Germans began to use projectiles to bombard the cities of Belgium and Holland that had been liberated by Anglo-American troops. In addition, several V-1s were fired around the capital of France, from where German troops were knocked out by the Resistance forces even before they reached the base of a part of the Allied forces.

In all, during the war years, the German military industry managed to assemble about 30 thousands of V-1 airplanes. By 29 March 1945, about 10 thousands of them were used for shelling the UK. However, only 3200 missiles were able to reach the British Isles. The 2419 missiles struck the English capital, the losses from their use amounted to 6184 killed and 17 981 wounded. At the same time, about 20% of missiles failed at the start, 42% managed to shoot down anti-aircraft artillery and British aircraft, and 7% broke up into pieces, colliding with aerostats of an air barrier.


Use of Fau-1 Projectiles

The main targets for the German Fau-1 projectiles were the big cities London and Manchester, and later their targets became Antwerp, Liege, Brussels and even Paris.

In the evening of 12 June, 1944 German long-range artillery, which was located in the Calais region in northern France, conducted an unusually heavy shelling of the British Isles. This shelling was conducted with a diversionary purpose. At 4 in the morning of June 13, the shelling came to an end, and after some time, British observers stationed in Kent noticed a kind of “airplane” that made uncharacteristic sounds, and a bright glow was noted in its tail. The observed apparatus continued its flight over the Downs, after which it swooped down and exploded near Gravesend in Swanskoum. It was the fall of the first VW 1 rocket that exploded on the territory of the British Isles. Over the next hour, more 3-like missiles fell at Cacfield, Bethnal Green and Platte. Then the Germans began daily systematic raids on English cities using V-1 projectiles. Residents of the British capital nicknamed them "flying bombs", as well as "buzzing bombs" - for their characteristic loud sound of engines.

After the first raids, the British urgently began to develop a plan for the defense of cities against new German weapons. According to their plan, it was necessary to build a defense line 3: air defense fighters, anti-aircraft artillery and aerial barrage balloons. To detect the V-1, it was decided to use the already deployed network of observation posts and radar stations. At the same time, the British placed the barrage balloons right behind the line of anti-aircraft guns, in the number of 500 pieces. The number of anti-aircraft artillery was urgently increased. 28 June 1944 of the year 1 light and 522 heavy anti-aircraft guns were used to repel the V-363 air attack on London.


Soon, to repel raids, the British began to use self-propelled anti-aircraft installations and only rocket launchers began to appear, and the number of balloons was also doubled. Moreover, the royal navy sent ships to the French coast that were to detect missile launches. These ships were located in 7 miles from the French coast with an interval between ships in 3 miles. Not far from the ships, English fighters were on duty. When an air target was detected, the ships gave a signal to fighters using lighting or signal flares. At the same time, the task to shoot down the projectile was not the easiest because of its relatively high flight speed. The fighter pilot had no more than 5 minutes to shoot down the V-1. During this time, the German projectile passed from the French coast to the zone of action of the British anti-aircraft artillery, and after another minute it hit the zone of the location of the airborne balloons.

In order to achieve the most effective defense against German missile shells, the British military moved anti-aircraft artillery from their cities directly to the coast. August 28 1944 of the year was a turning point for the new German wonder weapon. Of the 97 Fau-1 projectiles that crossed the English Channel, the British were able to shoot down 92 units, only 5 missiles reached London. The last V-1 rocket fell in England only in March of the 1945 year, shortly before the complete surrender of Nazi Germany.

At the same time, the German V-1 missiles managed to cause great damage to the UK. The 24 491 building was destroyed by rockets, and the 52 293 buildings were damaged to such an extent that they became uninhabitable. Civilian casualties amounted to 5 864 people killed, even 17 197 people were seriously injured, 23 174 people got off light injuries. On average, for every V-1 that was able to reach the English capital or its environs, there were about 10 killed and seriously wounded British. In addition to London, Manchester, Portsmouth, Southampton and several other cities were bombarded with V-1 rockets. Despite the fact that only half of all missiles reached their intended goal, these attacks had a great moral and psychological effect on the population of the British Isles.


After the Allies landed in France and quickly pushed the Western Front deep into the mainland, freeing France and Holland, the Germans redirected their attacks on Liege and Antwerp. At the same time, the Fau-1 launchers themselves were initially located on the northern coast of France and in the territory of Holland.

Since the Fau-1 projectiles failed to hit point targets, as well as medium-sized objects, including factories or British naval bases, at the end of 1944, it was decided to work on the manned V-1 version. Also, such missiles could be used against Allied ships in British ports. New development received the designation "Reichenberg." The cockpit was located in the middle part of the rocket, the Germans were going to use the Condor and Non-200 bombers as carriers of such missiles. After the rocket was separated from the carrier aircraft, the pilot carried out its piloting. Having found the necessary target, he directed the V-111 to it, then, dropping the cockpit cap, ejected.

Naturally, the pilots had little chance of surviving, and in the case of a successful ejection, the pilot was almost guaranteed to be captured. Despite this, the Germans quite easily managed to recruit the 250 first volunteers, among whom was the famous German female pilot Hannah Reich. She even managed to successfully test the manned version of the V-1. In total, until the end of the war, the Germans created 175 manned versions of the Fow-1, but none of them were used in battle.


Tactical and technical characteristics of the aircraft Fau-1:
Overall dimensions: length - 7,74 m, height - 1,42 m, wingspan - 5,3 m, diameter of the fuselage 0,85 m.
Curb weight - 2160 kg.

The maximum flight speed is from 656 km / h (full refueling) to 800 km / h (when approaching the target).
The maximum range is 286 km.
Practical ceiling - 2700-3050 m (in practice, from 100 to 1000 m).
The mass of the warhead - 800-1000 kg, ammatol.
Fuel tank capacity - 570 liters of gasoline.
Circular Probable Deviation - 0,9 km.
The cost of a cruise missile (project) is 10, thousand Reichsmarks, at the end of the war, 3,5, thousand, using the free labor of concentration camp prisoners.

    At the same time, German Fau-1 missiles managed to inflict really serious damage on Great Britain

      They never became "dry", after the war Chelomey spent years and a lot of folk remedies in order to make the V-1 even a little bit accurate, but it didn't work, he covered up his failure with false test data and tried to shove his handicraft into the army , but he was exposed and if it were not for Stalin's death, then his fate would have been sad ... And so, thanks to his relationship with Khrushchev, he got out. In the end, the V-1 was forgotten and she received no continuation ...

        Well then, no one could create a normal guidance system. It’s just that there weren’t technical capabilities yet. Yes, and PuVRD turned out to be a dead end branch on the tree of jet engines.
        Although the funniest, the first version of this machine was offered by the Luftwaffe as far back as 1936, as an unmanned target for training anti-aircraft calculations. But then Goering was not interested. But the FAU-1 could well have appeared not in 1944, but in 1940 ...

            pilots of Soviet planes designed by chelomey and lavochkin, in fact piloted by "Tempests", could not stand it for more than 20 minutes in the cockpit due to vibrations
            The Tempest had a raised cockpit, which was converted into an unmanned one, and they did not even remove it.

          The funniest thing is the truth. You see, PuVRD is practically not scalable, has low fuel efficiency, and does not allow to obtain a flight speed of more than 800 km / h. The FAU-1 scheme is also not optimal for high-speed flights. I’ll keep silent about the guidance system, because I don’t have to worry about sad things ... Both in our country and in the USA we played around with copies of the FAU-1 until around the mid-50s, after which they began to build completely different CDs that had only one thing in common with the German prototype concept, namely a jet engine and wings, as a means of creating aerodynamic lift.

            the truth is that even with such a WFD, the Americans copied it, as was the link.
            It is quite scalable and they are different. those pulse-jet which valveless after acceleration turn into RAM jet
            at least 10 years in service for the Kyrgyz Republic before its obsolescence, this is a lot

              Just then there were no options.
              The Chelomeevsk creations have never really been accepted into service. Neither 10X, nor 14X, nor 16X. The Americans also riveted the analogs of the FAU-1, but in the Second World War they did not have time to use them and as a result, they were gradually written off smoothly. More than ever, no one returned to the topic of the Kyrgyz Republic with PuVRD. Because, on the one hand, this power plant did not allow to achieve a guaranteed breakthrough in air defense, and on the other hand, the turbojet engine and liquid propellant rocket engine that developed very quickly in the 40s and 50s, by the mid-50s left all models of pulsating engines far behind.
              But the FAU-1 appeared on 4 years earlier, which was quite possible, and then who knows how the battle for Britain would end ...

                And that even the Americans from the very beginning did not accept their own and not a seamless German?
                Chelomeevsky, a lot of things were in service, more than many, he was generally classified as a person in the USSR and was not openly mentioned anywhere. but there were many questions why there are significant gaps in the indices of the Salyut orbital stations.
                The battle for Britain in 1940 did not set itself terror against cities as such. The raids were on airfields, docks and military plants. They began to use v-1 only when there was a risk of losing their launchers in Normandy, and after two years of air terror against the civilian population of Germany.
                In fact, V-1 appeared long before its first use, they simply were not used and their number was accumulating. As well as the amount of sarin and soman. These CDs were sharpened primarily for the possible use of chemical weapons. Then they and even the V-2 began to shoot with conventional warheads. The peak of the shooting of the latter occurred in March when Germany did not dare to use either nuclear or chemical and decided to separately surrender its territory to the Anglo-Americans. Because the SA would crush them anyway.
                From V-1 with conventional warheads, a tool was quickly found as shells with radio fuses. Gloucester Meteors actually chalked up just 11-14 buzz bombs. At the end of the V-1, anti-aircraft guns with radar guidance intercepted up to 90% of the issued V-1s. And from V-2, if they had time to launch it, there was no means, it was guaranteed delivery and the Germans had uranium like dirt. But not time.

    The German-developed Fau-1 projectile (cruise missile) was the first such unmanned aerial vehicle that was used during World War II.

    More like a cruise missile than an UAV.

    Since the Fau-1 shells were not able to hit point targets, as well as medium-sized objects, which include factories or British naval bases, at the end of 1944 it was decided to work on a manned version of the Fau-1.

    Remotely controlled, not manned. Here are some Japanese KR supposed to make actually manned.

    Since the Fau-1 shells

    Immediately call them cruise missiles, or else a plane-projectile, a flying bomb, a carpet-plane ... it's kind of not from here. laughing

            Well, I, in fact, did not switch to "you" and I have the right to count on appropriate restraint, because rudeness and personal exposure are not evidence of righteousness.

            in the GDR, uranium was like dirt
            Not so very much, in the Czech Republic there was much more than in Saxony. But Europe is by no means a leader in this rating (the most powerful of the European deposits is located in Zheltye Vody in Ukraine).

            they didn’t have enough for less than a month for mass use of nuclear weapons, and this is known to any WWII veteran who visited Germany,
            Before the use of nuclear weapons, Germany needed not a month, and not even a year, but as much as was needed to realize the dead end of its development path, to build a uranium enrichment plant after that, to start the process of extracting uranium-235 (this took two or three years ) and a reactor for the production of plutonium from uranium-238 (much faster). As for the veterans of the Second World War, their opinion on the uranium problem in Germany will interest me only if his surname is Ioffe, Kurchatov, Kapitsa, Alexandrov, Landau or Flerov. Everything else, forgive me, by - I have seen enough and heard enough of some of today's "eyewitnesses" ...

            As for the MiG, I don’t have information and therefore I don’t climb with my "authoritative" opinion. On helicopters: the idea fell into the hands of the Nazis from the sky and the first flight, EMNIP, was made in 1907, and the first stable flight was in 1922 in the USA. And in the same place, Sikorsky, in 1939, began mass production of helicopters with a propeller swashplate. So there is no reason to scream at every corner about the "genius of the Germans" (if you are not paid for it, of course). The fact that they experimented with these (and other) technical solutions is a medical fact, as they say. As well as the fact that nothing good came of them and could not come out in the foreseeable future.

            Do you have specific FACTS (and not fabrications like "Black Sun of the Third Reich") - I will be grateful if you provide, and then I will eat my own keyboard. If not, alas ...

              Uranium as a chemical element was discovered in Germany in 1789; before the occupation of the eastern zone, the USSR did not have its explored deposits.

              is it possible, before someone eats the keyboard, to find out where he came up with the fabrication of the impasse of the German development path?
              the Germans did not develop the plutonium branch of the project at all.
              it's "good" that you don't respect WWII veterans, will they really forgive you ...
              Germans had reactors, two out of three are still of technical interest, heavy water was needed for them. the American reactor was a primitive pile of graphite.

              before the Americans in Algeria got into the trophies of the first serial German helicopter, the Sikorsky experimental helicopter had as many as three tail rotors and could not fly forward (only back and sideways). it was quite medically suggested that they score and simply deploy a pilot's seat on it back to front.

                Uranium as a chemical element was discovered in Germany in 1789; before the occupation of the eastern zone, the USSR did not have its explored deposits.
                And what does this prove? Helium was also first discovered, but what to do with it, only recently it became clear.

                At the expense of veterans ...
                We have one veteran in the neighborhood here. Tashkent front. But "so smart, already scary" (c).
                But I actually didn’t talk about this, although distorting the facts for trolls like you is a common thing. It was about which of the veterans (with all due respect, people without a physical education diploma) can make judgments about the purpose of these or those structures and their affiliation with atomic programs. Now, if it was a question of the intensity of battles for Berlin or of tank attacks near Prokhorovka - believe me, they would hardly have found a more attentive listener than me. The only pity is that every day there are fewer and fewer of them.

                  And what should be proved? What Einstein allegedly invented a nuclear bomb? No dear, he did not invent it; he worked as a laboratory assistant at the University of Berlin, and she spied her there! after which he dumped in Amerika (as usual) and wrote a letter to the American president stating that the Germans were developing new weapons of terrifying destructive power, and what kind of conflict.
                  after which similar work also began in the USA
                  Masons seemed to believe him better than Werner von Braun, who walked with his models for several years, and before getting into NAZA, enlisted the support of this stupid obscenity in rotary clubs, which can only "twist" and twirl ...
                  and at the University of Berlin no one made a secret of the obvious principle of the operation of nuclear weapons - everyone believed that this miracle weapon would end all wars. before that they also considered dynamite and machine guns.

                  Uranium fission and chain reaction were discovered by whom and when? And where?

                  What does the Tashkent front have to do if Russian was written in white and white about WWII veterans who visited Germany?
                  What does the diplomas of this Zionist university (PhysTech) have to do with it if almost everything in fact was done in weapons by people from the Moscow Technical University? Who, with such diplomas, will generally allow anything serious for them to harm or transcendentally screw up there?

                  They tried to use helium for its intended purpose, it is just rare and fluid. And for a long time, its only known deposit was in the USA, from where it was not exported as strategic material for airships.

                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_chain_reaction
                      "After nuclear fission was discovered by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in December 1938, Szilárd and Enrico Fermi in 1939 searched for, and discovered, neutron multiplication in uranium, proving that a nuclear chain reaction by this mechanism was indeed possible. [3] This discovery prompted the letter from Szilard [not in citation given] and signed by Albert Einstein to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning of the possibility that Nazi Germany might be attempting to build an atomic bomb. [4] [5] "
                      about "neutron multiplication in uranium" they bent down to adhere, because it was known from the very beginning. also me proves of German experiments

                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le%C3%B3_Szil%C3%A1rd
                      he is nee Leo Spitz (Hungarian: Szilárd Leó; German: Leo Spitz)
                      who, unlike Otto Gan, just didn’t succeed
                      back to you in the same paragraph, a little higher
                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_chain_reaction
                      In 1936, Szilard attempted to create a chain reaction using beryllium and indium, but was unsuccessful.

                      who actually discovered radioactivity! now they even write about it. recycle 8 tons of uranite for the convincing conviction of its priority and does not poison it like Curie and his wife had enough conscience and mind. or maybe the demon didn’t push in the rib.
                      this is generally the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century.
                      It’s just that plutocrat propaganda ripened as always - just like all the way with German nuclear weapons and German physics, now this bunch of critters brazenly but stupidly smears dirt on the websites of Soviet engineers, Russia and the Yak-141 from which F35 was copied giving priority (! ) in this area to Amerique because the Yak-141 turns out to be so ill-fated .. well, so ill-fated.

        As part of the Iron Hammer operation, at the end of 1943 - beginning of 1944, Mistels were supposed to be used to destroy industrial enterprises of the USSR, in particular, power plants that supply electricity to Moscow. But by that time, the Soviet offensive approached Germany itself, and the Iron Hammer operation was canceled

        As for the homing heads in the Third Reich. Well, there were none! There were inertial guidance systems, adjustable systems, guidance systems on the drive beacon. There were no homing systems! Although the Germans worked very actively in this direction, the level of technology of the mid-40s did not allow creating such systems. Only ten years later, something more or less digestible appeared that could be crammed into a rocket or bomb and that, at the same time, would be able to direct a projectile.

                Baby, don’t read Wikipedia, especially at night. Entzian did not have a homing head. She was planned, but not in a very definite future. And so she had the usual radio command guidance. Until the end of the war 38 launches were made, 16 with a guidance system. Yes, in principle, read for yourself, http://pvo.guns.ru/other/germany/Enzian.htm.
                You see, the creation of a homing system is an order of magnitude more complicated than the creation of an adjusted system. At the level of technology of the 30s-40s it is not solvable in principle (although they tried). The first GOS, suitable for practical use, appeared only in the mid-50s. This is such a banal historical fact. And this is subject to the use of the legacy of the Third Reich, including scientists and engineers. By the way, homing heads that work adequately for ground targets, and at the same time have reasonable cost, appeared only 20-30 years ago (RCC is a separate issue).

                        Sorry, but you didn’t explain anything, but only carried utter nonsense. Your opponent is absolutely right, there were no GOS then.

                        how did not create? why not create? google the first photos of Soviet subsonic MiGs with URO, they are not with sidewinders at all, but with entzians. Egypt, by the way, used such antiquities. AA-1 in my opinion
                        the sidewinder is worse, but simple as a cork and cheap to operate and in mass production.
                        probably heard about a German homing torpedo? the algorithm is generally the same as that of the IR entsian, only the detector materials are different.

                        Baby, you clearly overestimate the power of Soviet (as well as any other) fighters of the mid-50s. Not a single fighter of that time could lift an almost two ton rocket, and even in the plural.
                        As I look, you don’t even know how to google (although what can you expect from the USE victim?), Because if you could, you knew that under the wings of Soviet fighters since 1956, K-5 family missiles were quite in their rightful place. They were standard weapons of the MiG-17, MiG-19, Su-9 ...
                        Only they were never self-guided. They were guided by a radar beam. I explain the difference for the alternatively gifted. They did NOT HAVE on board devices that determined the position of the target, respectively, they did not aim at it on their own. The control equipment on board the rocket tracked only the direction of the aircraft radar beam and kept the projectile in the zone of maximum signal. All. The fighter pilot served as the "guidance head".

                        boy, it was written above that the Germans put a "reduced enzian" on the fighters of the bombers. fighter bombers are twin-engined Me-410, Me-110
                        High-altitude SAM does not happen small, it must gain height, for this you need fuel. For RVV it has already done the carrier.
                        The Entsian homing missiles from the USSR before the sidewinder were.
                        if a missile homing along the beam tracks the maximum of the beam itself, then a homing target, illuminated by it, tracks the maximum of the reflected signal from the target itself,
                        What are the fundamental differences in the logic of the computing device of both types of GOS? so I understand that it’s exactly in this your terrible school gag, since you mentioned the brains of the pilot as GOS.

                        Baby, and you catch the difference between the adjustable and homing missiles? By the way, what tasks should the homing system solve?

                        you didn’t understand ... like a repetition - what are the fundamental differences in the logic of the computer of both types of GOS? that rocket that goes along the beam is also aimed at the maximum signal in its alignment itself.

                        PS. it is not the joystick who corrects the gunner, like the Fritz-X or the anti-tank / anti-helicopter Baby, giving direct control commands to the steering cars.
                        and well for your work such that you did not know such things?
                        or forgot?
                        and so, in your opinion, it will turn out that you and the RVV with a passive radar seeker is also not a seeker, but an adjustable one, because "the pilot serves as a seeker" who illuminates the target with the radar of the aircraft.

                        unfold the radio receiver in the missile body of the next radar beam so that it does not look back at the targeting radar of the aircraft that emitted it (as an option), but forward at the target illuminated by it, and you get a missile with a passive radar seeker.
                        the big entsian (SAM) was definitely active, there was a lot of space for it in the radio emitter, they were thrown higher than the bombers, so the foil coming down from the bombers pressed against the interference not so much
                        but even the "allies" progress did not stand still, and the jammers began to shoot tubes with foil upwards.

                        Do not bore me. From your link: The missile, which strongly resembled the Me 163 (with swept wings and elevons) [8] would be guided primarily under radio control from the ground.- radio control from the ground.

                        Torpedoes as well as dogs with mines on their backs are not discussed here. Not an article about them.

                        If, like some, believe the Russian Hansa more than the English Wikipedia (that the GOS was not there), then from the wiki article a link to its main source,
                        and "See Also" lists the AIM-9 Sidewinder (it may not be casual),
                        In the source: http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/enzian.html
                        the introductory note states that this is not only a missile defense system but also
                        DESCRIPTION: The Enzian was conceived as a ground to air flak weapon. It's secondary purpose was that of an air-to-air weapon.
                        even see the section "INTELLIGENCE AND CONTROL SYSTEMS"
                        The IR device, "Madrid," developed by Kepka of Vienna, an acoustic device developed by Telefunken and Messerschmitt, or an electronic device were projected for use as homing heads.
                        the Austrians then worked for Matra and for SAGEM, only two of these firms succeeded in repeating Entzian, and then according to a simplified scheme.

I repeat again: The missile, which strongly resembled the Me 163 (with swept wings and elevons) [8] would be guided primarily under radio control from the ground.- radio control from the ground. Clear? radio control from the ground

                        Further, at this link http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/enzian.html
                        The IR device, "Madrid," developed by Kepka of Vienna, an acoustic device developed by Telefunken and Messerschmitt, or an electronic device were projected for use as homing heads. These articles had been laboratory tested by their manufacturers only as seperate entities.
                        GOS were developed, however, it flew on radio control:
                        Initial planning provided for the Enzian's use of one of several types of homing devices and proximity fuzes currently being developed or combinations of the above. Tests had not progressed beyond operation with the standard German radio control, the 6-meter "Strassburg-Kehl", developed by Telefunken and Strassfurt Rundfunk. The "Kogge" designed by Telefunken to operate on a 24-cm wave length was destined for use in the production Enzians.
                        Total Germans created, but did not create. Thank you for the attention. hi

                        you yourself singled out with a bold above "These articles had been laboratory tested by their manufacturers only as seperate entities".
                        PS. maybe all the same, in your opinion, the whole Entzian should have been spinning right after the target at the telefunken at the stand, and not just his GOS?

                        Just not "you", but "you". That's right, they were tested only as separate units (as seperate entities). About the same as my perpetual motion machine. Nevertheless, the rocket was tested only with radio control, and not with the seeker, which did not go further laboratory tests as separate units.

                        Tie up a troll. GOS on missiles appeared many years later, and the Germans do not have primacy in this despite their technical genius.

                        missiles with GOS appeared in Germany 15 years earlier than in the rest of the world, and the German technical genius is not bad, but it is not exceptional at all - nothing similar to the Yak-141 from which the lokhid licked its F35, even he could not create, although the Germans worked on it in the 50-70s it’s extremely persistent, until you get tired of banging your head up the wall,
                        and the Americans with "their" seamless f35 still after 22g (and not just 15 years like everyone else with Entsian) have not finished, what is there to be surprised at.

                        Be afraid go to another place. Here it is written in black in English that they only tested fuel and lubricants as a separate element in the laboratory and they never stood on rockets, and the rockets themselves were tested only with radio control. Gag and fantasies are not necessary.

                        Professor, if you think, then in which case what problem did they encounter that they supposedly did not have enough brains to solve?

                        For example, the microprocessor did not pull the signal processing of the GOS or the SNR of the GOS was terrible or it was necessary to carry a portable nuclear station for their power or weighed 500 kg each ... Continue to fantasize? The fact remains that the rocket flew with radio control.

                        no not ok. because you are worth it. and they themselves are busy with just this + stupidity of the flock as your language-showing avatar,

                        if you don’t know then don’t write ...

                        entity is not a block, but a whole. and some real existing whole. see google translator
                        entities (types of GOS from different companies) were many.

                        Professor, if you think, then in which case what problem did they encounter that they supposedly did not have enough brains to solve?
                        if with the problem of "intelligent detection and search of the target, as well as combining it with the crosshair of the sight by an effort of thought" (well, or there will be) lol , then in the German homing torpedo, the dog (or Japanese) was not inside ... as I understand it, you also have this plug in it, since you mentioned the dog as GOS (like the brains of the pilot on the other page).

                        Mr. "anomalocaris" wrote above on June 13, 2014 14:24 something about the fact that the Germans had "guidance systems for the drive beacon", and so in a rocket going to the beacon, its seeker (onboard control unit + detector radio emission from the lighthouse), and not a dog or an operator from a bomber or from a bunker from the ground, aligning the marks of the missile and the target, and the German saboteurs were taken by the Americans when they tried to install such beacons on the skyscrapers of New York.
                        Well, somehow they don’t send saboteurs (especially people) to a dangerous mission to the very den of the enemy, to Brighton Beach when not everything is ready to use weapons to bring which these beacons are intended.
                        V-1 is still somehow stupid to manually point at the lighthouse, but the two-stage V-2 or one-stage launched from the submarine that does not fly up to it.

                        A torpedo is not a rocket. In Tsaunkönig, the electro-mechanical circuit of the solver was used. For a rocket moving in three-dimensional space, this was very weak.

                        The Enzian (named for a genus of mountain flower, in English the Gentian) was a German WWII surface-to-air anti-aircraft missile that was the first to use an infrared guidance system... During the missile's development in the late stages of the war, it was plagued by organizational problems and was canceled before becoming operational.

                        Soviet pilots who saw Egyptian clones of German Entsians under the wings of Soviet MiGs (instead of Soviet clones, and besides showing the best characteristics) were unpleasantly surprised and did not pinch the export of RVVs anymore.

                        from the Entsian, Matra tore off their GOS and French missiles much better than American ones.

                    Baby, take a physics textbook, if my memory does not knock me off, for the 6th grade. The properties of liquids and gases are listed there in the corresponding chapters. Next, take a physics textbook for grade 8, there is a section: "acoustics". Read it, especially the chapters on the propagation of acoustic waves in gaseous and liquid media. If you don’t understand what the difference is, then, alas, medicine is powerless here, and I was not hired to give you lectures for a school physics course.
                    Do you understand the difference between the GOS and the fuse? If so, then your question is at least stupid. By the way, the Germans failed to create an adequate acoustic fuse for the air. It turned out to be too unpredictably anisotropic.

      The French had a similar v-1 unit at the end of WWI, they simply did not attach their own French Argus engine to it (this is a French patent and not a German one), instead they put out-of-date rotary "gnome-ron" from aircraft.

      and all because then the Entsianovskaya GOS was later owned by one French company (Matra) for its Mirages, and through it the Israeli company (Rafael, well, something like that) already owned it. and mats are much better than sidewinders - they could not create or copy anything like that in the pinndostan, and in the USSR progress in this direction was constantly artificially slowed down.

Once again, you have to translate in bold where it was said that the GOS did not go beyond laboratory samples (like my perpetual motion machine) and the rocket flew ONLY on the radio control?

          if you didn’t succeed then these are your problems,
          and IMI Rafael inherited the GOOS Matra Magic, which inherited them from Enzian.
          skizdit someone and then broadcast that he did not succeed, this is a trump card.

          By the way, the nuclear bomb, by the way, is also not the one who shows the language invented, but the Germans for whom he worked as a laboratory assistant before leaving, and the fact that Hiroshima was not even tested by the Americans in the laboratory (only Nagasaki was tested).

          GOS were, before the military use of the Enzians, it did not come to their attention - it was written why. they were not very upset about this because they had it on the way

            These articles had been laboratory tested by their manufacturers only as seperate entities. Tested in the laboratory. Do you understand? Just tested like my perpetual motion machine.

            Initial planning provided for the Enzian's use of one of several types of homing devices and proximity fuzes currently being developed or combinations of the above. Tests had not progressed beyond operation with the standard German radio control ... It was planned to install various GOS, but the rocket flew ONLY with radio control because they did not have GOS in stock, the Germans did not cope with their development.

              PS. and from what they managed to do and test in battle - a full-size Me-163 with an array of short missiles mounted at the root of the wing and when flying from any angle, the bomber automatically shot up to the bomber.
              unlike Enzian (which was still the same but half-reduced Comet), it was reusable and guaranteed to "bring" 1-2 bombers for each sortie

                    was written without being, but simply "developed". already developed, quite developed! finally developed ... bully


                    Young man
                    My English teachers roll over ... in bed. Did you remember the word gerund? laughing Let's talk about past perfect, perfect action.
                    tested - tested, tested or not it is not clear
                    had been tested- tested in the past and the action is incomplete, not tested
                    had tested - tested and tested, action completed

                    Now about developed:
                    developed- was developed, that is, they did, but it’s not clear whether they did
                    had developed- developed in the past, that is, the action is completed, done.

                    This is how you can write about my perpetual motion machine:
                    a) Professor Sokolov developed perpetuum mobile ...
                    b) Professor Sokolov is developing perpetuum mobile ...
                    c) Professor Sokolov had developed perpetuum mobile ...
                    d) Professor Sokolov had been developed perpetuum mobile ...
                    Which of the following suggestions indicates that Professor Sokolov developed perpetual motion machine?

                    And now, with his nose in ...
                    GOS was tested in the laboratory. The results are unknown to us, there is no evidence. The rocket flew exclusively with radio control. These are the facts, the rest is flood.

                      Professor, your teachers, apparently at least native speakers have not once been taught this
                      had been laboratory tested is a fait accompli

                      being on the link was about proximity fuzes, they were made for Entsian, and GOS "Madrid" was already there. it is mentioned a little earlier.

                        So you failed the exam without giving the correct answer. Keep clear, unfortunate and retake.
                        I repeat for you now for the last time:
                        GOS was tested in the laboratory. The results are unknown to us, there is no evidence. The rocket flew exclusively with radio control. Learn the materiel. hi

                        Professor, you are facing re-certification, with the withdrawal of the diploma ... if of course you have it.
                        repeat to yourself, since you are an ostrich and you have a concrete floor
                        the fact that the GOS was created and tested. it was not used for combat in WW2, and the French got it after WW2, and this is a known fact.
                        thing the docks are just there. it is written about them. and with what a rocket flew there, this is another matter that was written with a pitchfork on water, and it’s smeared with shit like yours, since entire institutes (in general, no one except Matra) could not repeat this GOS in production for decades. neither in the USSR nor in the USA.
                        in the United States, the phantom operator on the AIM-7 Sparrow twisted the handles, and the Franco-Austrian was guided by itself somehow without it.
                        just like yours, after the war, they lied that the great Einstein invented the uranium bonbu, only the American reactor was a primitive pile of graphite, and for some reason the Norwegian heavy water plant in 1944 had to be blown up urgently

                        Therefore, there is no faith in you, in addition to shoving the dog or the processor in the GOS.

                        teach you here.
                        you can shove your loess pass to yourself flat.
                        GOS is just a few LEDs - there are no dogs there. bully

                        Dear Yes moderators, why don’t you notice the trolling and its participants? When will the VO be freed from at least the main part of the troll yoke ?!

                        Hello, Dear Moderator Alexander! hi
                        I’m glad if you notice and delete inappropriate comments! And with the IP address I don’t know what’s going on, the RF flag, then the US flag, then there’s no flag at all ... request

                        No, thank God, and I hope they won’t! I didn’t insult anyone almost intentionally (of course there were ridicule at some Israeli comrades in VO, but no more). I really did borscht once, hitting the professor a lot, reminding him of a quote that spoke negatively about him . The first time he didn’t really react, but when I reminded him of it the second time, he immediately added to his Black List.
                        Regards Aslan! hi
