    The air force is very strong, the number of front-line combat aircraft far exceeds that of Germany, and the number of new fighters with better performance such as the MiG-3 is comparable to that of Germany, but most of them were destroyed at the airfield in the raid. The bombers were poor, but brave. The Navy is very weak, mainly because the Red Navy ** is too poor in performance and backward in the times, but the submarines are okay.

    The Baltic Fleet was good, exerting its combat effectiveness, so that the German Navy could not storm Leningrad, but the Black Sea Fleet failed to exert its combat power in the face of the Axis Navy, which was far weaker than it, and until the second half of 1944, the Black Sea supremacy was still in the hands of the Axis Navy.

    During World War II, the Soviet navy was very weak and basically did not participate in many battles, first of all, the Soviet Union mainly fought against Germany, while the Soviet-German battlefield was mainly based on land and air battles, and Germany used to blitzkrieg, and did not use too much naval force, the main force of the German army and air force fought against the Soviet Union, and the navy was mainly used against Britain and the United States, mostly in the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and its naval strength was limited, and it was always suppressed by the Allied navy. Second, the Soviet Union began to confine itself to the defense of cities, the backbone of the Army, and the spatial distance between the Soviet Union and Germany, which made the Soviet Navy basically useless in the Great Patriotic War. The Soviet Navy was a relatively small force during World War II, and its large ships were few and all of them were outdated old ships or outdated ships purchased and leased from foreign countries, and the only dreadnoughts that the Soviet Union could fight at the beginning of the war were three obsolete "Petropavlovsk" class.

    The battleships of the Soviet Navy were inferior in quantity and quality compared to the great powers, and they were even inferior to the Italian Navy, the weakest of the great powers. As a tradition in Russia's history of the dream of access to the sea and a large navy, the Soviet Union or Russian leaders of all eras without exception dreamed of building a powerful ocean-going navy. In that era of "big ships and huge guns", in the face of the large warships of the great powers in service, Stalin, who advocated heavy **, once proposed to build a "Soviet" class battleship, when he listened to the report of the People's Commissar of the Navy, the People's Commissar said that the battleship was not suitable for the inland shallow waters of the Soviet Union, and the cost was high and complicated, he said very seriously, "We want to make money for one kopeck and one kopeck, but we want to build this **." , but until the death of Stalin, the "Soviet" class remained not in service. It should be said that after the successful completion of the first five-year plan in 1929-1933, the USSR made an alarming leap in the construction of socialism. At that time, Western countries were suffering from the economic crisis that broke out in 1929, and the international situation was becoming increasingly acute and complex.

    The signing of the London Naval Treaty in 1930, the September 18 Incident provoked by Japan, and Hitler's rise to power in Germany strongly shook Stalin. Stalin, who had a keen sense of smell, believed that it was entirely possible for the fascist capitalist countries and the old powers, such as Britain and France, to unite and intervene and invade the newly restored Soviet Union once again, and to find a way out of the crumbling domestic economy. The Soviet Navy, on the other hand, was clearly unable to compete with any of its potential adversaries.

    On 27 May 1936, the Admiralty under the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR submitted a huge plan for the rebuilding of the Navy, requesting the construction of eight 35,000-ton 406-mm battleships and 18 26,000-ton heavy cruisers for the Navy. In the years that followed, the plan was revised several times, and the Type 23 battleship eventually developed into the only Type 23 "Soviet" class battleship to be built in the Soviet era.

    The Luftwaffe fought on multiple fronts, dividing its forces against the Soviet Air Force.

    The combat radius of the aircraft in World War II was smaller than that of the Army, and when the German army entered the territory of the Soviet Union, it was found that there were not many airfields available for aircraft, so it was difficult for the Air Force to deploy on the front line with the Army.

    German pilots were decreasing day by day during the war, and many of them were "child soldiers" when attacking the Soviet Union, that is, immature pilots, just like the German youth divisions in Normandy. There are not enough human resources.

    Most of the Soviet planes are relatively stupid, this is mainly because the range must be long, and they can fly all the way to the next airfield in the vast wasteland, including now, and the aircraft as large as the Su27 series are not necessary for other countries, and Russia must have a large enough range to fly from the west to Siberia, so that the planes must be large and have more fuel.

    In the first year, the Soviet army lost more than 10,000 fighters, which is called not beating, and it will really put gold on the face of the Soviet Union, and in 43 years, the United States Air Force and the British Air Force bombed Germany on a large scale, and the Luftwaffe was forced to fight on two fronts, and the strength of the Luftwaffe on the Eastern Front was greatly reduced, so that the Soviet Union had an opportunity.

    Fighting on two fronts pinned down the Luftwaffe. The Soviet Air Force grew in strength during the war, both by airplanes and pilots. The Luftwaffe lost quite a few pilots in the long war, and the pilots were difficult to replenish in the later period, and many of them were rookies.

    It's not that it can't be beaten, but the losses are too late to replenish.

    It was Goering's failure in the air raid on Britain that caused the Air Force to lose care.

    The USSR had "Sevastopol".

    Before the Great Patriotic War, it was renamed "Paris Commune" (Paris Commune) (Parisskaya Kommuna) and was incorporated into service with the Black Sea Fleet. In 1941, it was hit by German bombers during the defense of Sevastopol and ran aground. It was restored to its original name in 1943 and demolished in 1950 after the war.

    Performance table of the "Gangut" before the Great Patriotic War:

    Standard displacement (tons).

    Full load displacement (tons).

    Overall length of the ship (m).

    Ship full width (m) 25

    Draught (m) Power unit 22x boiler 8x impeller.

    Number of axes (axes) 4

    Power output (hp) 50,000

    Speed (knots) 23

    Fuel capacity on board -

    Endurance (knots) 4,000 16

    The main gun is 4 seats, triple 305 mm.

    Secondary guns: 16 single-mounted 120mm gun.

    Anti-aircraft weapons. 10 76-mm anti-aircraft guns.

    Torpedo tube caliber (mm).

    4 tubes 457 mm. Crew (person).

    In fact, the Soviet Navy was not very developed in World War II, and there was only a small fleet, that is, the Baltic Fleet.

    The USSR also had anti-tank troops, assault troops, ......A lot. The army is still very developed!

    There were no aircraft carriers, there were few destroyers, and the USSR Navy at that time was dominated by torpedo boats.

    If it is really as the subject said, the Soviet Union and Germany have the air power of the same powerful universities as Britain and the United States, and the largest air battle in history will not break out on the Eastern Front.

    In World War II, Germany blitzed the Soviet Union, and when it was buried, Germany had more than 4,000 planes on the Eastern Front, while the Soviet Union had as many as 12,000 planes, but most of them were old-fashioned aircraft.

    However, under the attack of Germany's first liquid Zen wave, most of the Soviet planes were blown up before they could take off, coupled with the quality of the pilots, Germany had been in the war for more than two years at that time, and a large number of ace pilots appeared. The Soviet Union had just undergone the Great Purge, and many excellent pilots were purged in the Great Purge, which caused Germany to quickly control the skies on the Soviet-German battlefield at the beginning of World War II.

    Then you can't fight.

    The construction of the aviation force has three major supports, one is technology, the second is personnel training, and the third is production capacity.

    Both countries have shortcomings, according to your train of thought, you will kneel directly, and the Eastern Front will not be able to fight.

    Germany's biggest shortcoming is fuel, except for 43 years, which is relatively generous, other times are problems, 41-42 44 is a fuel crisis, even the rear training is the head, but also to double the scale (I will ignore the difference in the structure of the model).

    The second shortcoming is the production organization, in addition to the beautiful system, Sandezi can be described as a mess in terms of organization, and the efficiency is ......

    In addition, in the Soviet Union, the short board was even larger, and due to the lack of electricity, it was impossible to produce enough aviation aluminum, and it was made with plywood, which meant that the life span was only a fraction of that of the families of the Regret people, and the operating costs were higher.

    Secondly, there are problems in the training of personnel, in terms of combat organization (see MARS's Air Battles on the Eastern Front, vol. 1).

    The German air force is not weaker than Britain and the United States, and in the Great Air Battle of Britain, Britain won a miserable victory by virtue of its geographical advantage, and I am afraid that there is still a lot of water in the victory.

    This kind of air raid should refer to strategic bombing, which requires heavy bombers such as the B-17, B-24, Lancaster, and Halifax with a long range and a large bomb load. The PE-8, the only heavy bomber in the early Soviet Union, was unstable and small in number, making it difficult to carry out large-scale strategic bombing of the German mainland. Later, the Lend-Lease Act was passed, and the strategic air force was upgraded, but at this time, the significance of strategic bombing was much less than before.

    In terms of combat records, the PE-8 has a more notable combat recordThe bombing of Berlin on August 11, 1941。Twelve PE-8s were used in this bombing, but due to engine failures and miscarriages, only four of them completed the mission in the end, and the propaganda effect of the bombing was greater than the actual effect of the operation. After the war, the aircraft's poor reliability was transmitted to the top of the Soviet military, and after September 1941, Soviet aircraft did not appear in German airspace until 1945.

    Do you know how many planes the United States and the Soviet Union had? There are tens of thousands of planes on each side. In other words, Germany is facing a disadvantage of more than 10 times, and that point of aircraft is a drop in the bucket, and more seriously.

    Since Germany lost Romania, there has been no oil source, and most planes cannot fly due to lack of fuel.

    I don't know if it's the number you said, but in the later period, all the adult males in Germany were spelled out, and the teenagers were all drafted into the army to fight in the war, and the logistics of the German army were not good, the oil pipelines were cut off, the oil refineries, the arsenals were blown up, or the German army would not have gone on the defensive and failed, or it would not have failed so soon, at that time, Germany produced a tank, and the Soviet Union was able to roll off the assembly line with 3 or 4 tanks, and even a good tiger could not control the wolf, and the Soviet Union took people to fill in, and the planes and artillery of the United States and Britain were blown up inch by inch, and Germany would have collapsed like that, if Germany had half of the strategic depth and resources of the Soviet Union The outcome is really unknown Germany is a lot ahead of other countries in military technology at the second station The technology we use now can be seen in Germany back then.

    In order to achieve victory in the Battle of Berlin, the Soviet army committed nearly 7,500 aircraft from four air groups. More than twice as many as the Germans. Air supremacy was in the hands of the Soviet army. Fuel shortages are also a factor.

    Airplanes need people... In the later period, there were not enough pilots in the Air Force, and those elites used to fly jets. There is a serious shortage of oil.

    You can't even have fighter jets. It depends on the sorties that can be dispatched, and there are many advanced ** in Germany in the later period, but they cannot reach the hands of people with combat experience. A lot of it was divided between the United States and the Soviet Union...

    You are really ignorant enough, the Air Force of 3,300 aircraft in World War II is not even a p, this scale is the strength of an 8th Air Force in the United States. During the same period, the Soviet Union had at least 10 times as many aircraft capable of participating in the Battle of Berlin, not to mention the United States, which was completely a locust formation. What's more, many of these more than 3,000 rags are not fighters at all, there are many crippled, and there are only a handful of fighters that can be used.

    The Soviet Army invested the 16th Army of the First Front Air Force, the 2nd Army of the Voronezh Front Air Force, the 17th Army of the Air Force of the Southwestern Front and the main force of long-range aviation, with a total of 3,100 aircraft (more than 2,000 on the day of the war), and the number of troops was far superior to that of the German army. The main fighters of the Soviet army are the Yak-3, Yak-9 and Ra-5, and their performance is roughly equivalent to that of the latest German ME-109G and FW-190A, especially the La-5H is the latest improved version and was put into the battlefield for the first time. The engine of this type of aircraft is 1850 horsepower, which is 80 horsepower higher than that of ordinary fighters, and it is maneuverable and durable.
