U-2“黑鸟”侦察机,满世界神出鬼没,为美国及其盟国侦察到无数情报。然而,还有位问世已久的大侦探,过去也曾全球出动,而且将来仍会担此重任,功劳不在其它侦察机之下,这就是美国空军的RC-135大型侦察机。 RC-135是大型光学及电子侦察机,侦察手段先进,无须进入敌国领空,可在公共空域进行侦察活动,这样不仅可以避免敌方地面火力攻击,而且在政治上也不致招来舆论界的指责。RC-135自60年代问世以来,至今已有从A到X等多种型别。根据其功能和用途,主要有三大类:信号情报侦察机、电子情报侦察机和弹道导弹情报侦察机。现在主要使用的有S、U、V、W、X型,下面分别作一简要介绍。 RC-135S 该机是以收集弹道导弹的各种情报为目的的特殊光学、电子侦察机。在其右前机身的4个大圆窗处,装有高精度的光学探测装置,可探测到弹道导弹弹体和再入 U-2 “Black Bird ” reconnaissance plane, the whole world is full of deception, for the United States and its allies to detect countless intelligence. However, there is also a long-awaited detective who used to travel around the world in the past and will still undertake this task in the future. The credit is not under other reconnaissance aircraft. This is the Air Force’s RC-135 large reconnaissance plane. The RC-135 is a large-scale optical and electronic reconnaissance aircraft with advanced reconnaissance techniques. It can conduct reconnaissance activities in the public airspace without entering the enemy’s airspace. This not only avoids enemy ground fire attacks, but also does not cause any political criticism from the media. RC-135 since the advent of the 60’s, so far there have been A to X and other types. According to its function and purpose, there are mainly three major categories: signal intelligence reconnaissance aircraft, electronic intelligence reconnaissance aircraft and ballistic missile intelligence reconnaissance aircraft. Now mainly used are S, U, V, W, X-type, the following were a brief introduction. RC-135S This aircraft is a special optical and electronic reconnaissance plane that aims to collect various kinds of information about ballistic missiles. In its four large circular windows on the right front fuselage, equipped with high-precision optical detection device that can detect ballistic missile projectiles and reentry
