Penetration Fighter
The term penetration fighter has been used to describe a long-range fighter aircraft designed to penetrate enemy air defences and attack defensive interceptors. The concept is similar to the escort fighter, but differs primarily in that the aircraft would not operate in close concert with bombers. Both types are sub-classes of the strategic fighter. The same general mission is also carried out by intruders, but these are generally night fighters or light bombers that do not have the air combat performance of this concept. The presence of the North American P-51 Mustang above Germany allowed USAAF bombers to fly at will over the country, and is considered one of the turning points of the air war. In the post-war period, the development of jet-powered strategic bombers made this role difficult to fill; aircraft with performance to protect the bombers had very short range, and those with the range were propeller designs that could not keep up. The desire for a fighter that could p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Interdictor
An interdictor is a type of attack aircraft that operates far behind enemy lines, with the express intent of air interdiction of the enemy's military targets, most notably those involved in logistics. Interdiction prevents or delays enemy forces and supplies from reaching the battlefront; the term has generally fallen from use. The strike fighter is a closely related concept, but puts more emphasis on air-to-air combat capabilities as a multirole combat aircraft. Larger versions of the interdictor concept are generally referred to as "penetrators". In the post-war era, the RAF introduced interdictor variants of their English Electric Canberra jet bomber, as aircraft were released from the strategic bombing role as they were replaced by the new V bombers. Desiring a more modern aircraft for this role, development of the BAC TSR-2 (from "Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance, Mach 2") began, but this program was later cancelled. The US began development of a similar aircraft aroun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Penetrator (album)
''Penetrator'' is the eighth studio album by American rock musician Ted Nugent. It was released in January 1984 by Atlantic Records. "Tied Up in Love" was made into a promo clip to support the album. It reached No. 56 on the ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart. The song "(Where Do You) Draw the Line", written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, was originally recorded by Adams for his hit 1984 album '' Reckless'' but was left off the final track list. Adams' version eventually saw a release on the 30th anniversary reissue of ''Reckless''. The cover art is a section of the painting "Dragon Tattoo" by Boris Vallejo. Reception In a largely negative review, John Franck of AllMusic proclaimed ''Penetrator'' to be "one of Nugent's most underwhelming releases".

Penetrator (video Game)
''Penetrator'' is a 1982 ZX Spectrum video game made by Melbourne House programmers Philip Mitchell and Veronika Megler. The game is a clone of Konami's 1981 ''Scramble'' arcade game. ''Penetrator'' was ported to the TRS-80 and Commodore 64. Gameplay In ''Penetrator'', the player flies a ship which can shoot forward and drop bombs. Levels scroll from right to left, with a line representing the ground. The first level is in open air, with just mountains to dodge, missiles which try to hit the ship, and animated radars. From the second level onward, the game is inside increasingly complex caverns, so the ceiling is also a danger, as well as new enemies. The missiles are now sometimes replaced with skulls that can move up and down, blocking the path. The levels flow seamlessly into each other, signified by screen colour changes. After four levels there is a short fifth level where a base needs to be destroyed by dropping a bomb precisely, and then there is a firework animation as ...
