历史资料：
    新型基洛夫前无古人，彰显着苏联军力的规模之大、实力之强和意志之坚，不过，有些人会说，这东西太超出常规了。基洛夫飞艇专门用于战事，得名于它处女航的始发地——基洛夫州。坚不可摧的船体由牢不可破的骨架和结实耐用的塑料封皮打造，大得出奇的货舱里装着数不尽的穿甲炸弹包，强劲的引擎和军用螺旋桨通过某种方式将这大家伙送上了天。与其他一些更常规的苏联武装相比，这些飞行巨兽的设计和量产过程，都是不惜血本。克拉斯纳航天局把基洛夫交付苏联军方不过才两年前的事情，可现代空战的作战方式已经因为基洛夫飞艇而改变了。曾有些人刁难说双刃武装直升机——科拉思纳以前的一项成功产品，仅仅是一次侥幸，现在他们也只得闭上嘴巴了。

   
    基洛夫飞艇作为单纯的重轰炸机，缓慢移速是其唯一一个不容争辩的缺点，尽管基洛夫现在配置的奢华住房和俯瞰大地的全景窗口一定程度上解决了这个问题，即在飞船缓慢驶向不走运的敌人途中，声名显赫的船员们可以享受一次愉快的空中之旅。这期间，基洛夫飞艇全然不必在意大多数的防空火力，甚至敌人的空优战机也不以为意，不过基洛夫也确实也没有反击的能力就是了，因此为了以防万一，苏联确实常常派遣一些自己的空优战机去护送这些巨大的飞船。此外，克拉斯纳航天局也已经给今年的基洛夫型号配备了特殊的燃料供给装置，能让飞船获得短暂地高速移动，但基于安全考量，不能经常使用。
    不过，最需要考虑安全问题的当然还是那些要面临基洛夫轰炸的敌人。哪怕只有一艘这种巨型飞船开始轰炸，它就能毁灭一整片的军事设施或者一整个装甲师团。似乎还嫌不够强大，近期报道说苏联已经研发出了一种可以在境外工厂批量生产基洛夫的新方法，同时还要给它们配以更具威力的军火装备，大概是在胡说吧。外界猜测苏联前线那些随处可见的坦克工厂中，有一些具备发射飞行器的能力，不过说实在的，任凭他们怎么想，苏联的战争工厂都的确没有制造基洛夫的能力。

    每艘基洛夫飞艇都只有地位最显赫的苏联官员可以乘坐，他们享受着其中世间一流的餐厅和办公处，还有取之不尽用之不竭的炸药补给。
    可想而知，只有少数苏联官员可以乘坐基洛夫飞艇，他们胸前挂满荣誉勋章，多年下来，政治声望很高，在基洛夫内部200平米的居住区里享受着奢华的办公处和精致的用餐间。就算如此，人们依然对基洛夫艇上投弹操作员之冷酷无情众说纷纭，如果心理档案收集资料可信的话，他们是相当好战的，到时间了就变成一副凶面孔，狂风暴雨般投下炸弹，不怀一丝仁慈之心。
战场笔记： 战地侦察已揭示了关于基洛夫飞艇的几项情报

• 奢华至极——基洛夫飞艇不过是不久之前才推出的军备，却因为需求很大，一直供不应求。虽然越来越多的苏联空军基地获得了在当地量产基洛夫飞艇的权限，其制造工序依然需要花费大量的时间和金钱。

• 无尽轰炸——虽然基洛夫飞艇身型庞大，却乘员寥寥。本可以装载数百乘员的空间，都被用来装载数以千计的炸弹——远超任何一场战斗所需要的量。

• 加力燃烧——基洛夫领航员有权限将特殊的化学混合燃料注入引擎区块，使雄伟的飞船能以远超常规的速度移动。这种做法的缺点在于，剧毒的燃料会从内部慢慢侵蚀基洛夫飞艇。

• 自爆危险”——虽说尚未有基洛夫被击落的官方记录，物理学家表示，考虑到这种飞艇内装载的不稳定性化学混合燃料，以及数量惊人的炸弹，理论上不排除被击落后，发生灾难性大爆炸的可能性。

history

The unprecedented new Kirov Airship symbolizes the Soviet military’s sheer size, strength, steadfastness, and, some might say, its propensity for excess. Named for its maiden launch over Kirov oblast, this dirigible is specially-built for war. A rigid, unbreakable frame and heavy-duty envelope make the massive vessel virtually indestructible, and its oversized cargo hold packs thousands of armor-piercing bombs, while an industrial-strength engine block and maneuver props somehow keep the thing aloft. By contrast with some other more-conventional Soviet forces, no expense was spared in either the design or the manufacture of these flying behemoths. Krasna Aerospace introduced the Kirov into the Unions’ arsenal only two years ago, and already it has changed the way modern air combat is waged, while silencing critics who once accused Krasna’s past success with its Twinblade gunship to be a one-time fluke.

The Kirov Airship is designed to fill the Soviet Union’s citizens with pride while instilling fear and dread in her enemies before blowing them so smithereens.

Given its pure role as a heavy bomber, the Kirov’s only real shortcoming is its inarguable lack of speed—a problem that is partly resolved by the Kirov’s posh living quarters and spectacular panoramic viewports, which let their prestigious pilot-bombardiers blissfully pass the time while their aircraft steadily trudge along toward their unfortunate targets. Along the way, Kirovs are able to simply shrug off most anti-aircraft fire, including attacks from enemy fighters. It is true, though, that Kirovs have no means of retaliating against enemy aircraft, so the Union does tend to send escort fighters of her own to watch over each mighty vessel, just in case. Further, Krasna Aerospace has equipped this year’s Kirov models with special fuel injectors that provide the airship with a significant burst of speed, though this is used sparingly for safety reasons.

Of course, the greatest safety concern lies with the Kirov’s enemies. Even but one such gigantic vessel has within it the capacity to bring ruin to an entire military installation or enemy armor division. As if this weren’t enough, recent reports claim that the Soviet Union is now exploring new ways of mass-producing Kirovs in an offshore plant, while fitting them with even more powerful munitions. Such reports may well be false. For example, there is simply no physical way a Kirov could be built from a Soviet war factory, despite insistent speculation that one of these tank plants-so common on the Soviet front—has within it the capacity to launch aircraft.

Soviet officers of the highest standing fly each Kirov, enjoying world-class dining and accommodations as well as nigh-unlimited supplies of bombs.

Predictably, Kirov Airships are flown only by the most decorated Soviet officers with years of good political standing, who enjoy lavish accommodations and fine dining inside the Kirov’s 200-square-meter living quarters. Even so, stories abound about the ruthlessness of Kirov pilot-bombardiers, who—if the psychological profiling it to be believed—are so impatient for combat yet feel so removed from it that they tend to use their bombs with liberal, merciless abandon.

notes

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Kirov Airship:

·Luxury at a premium—Kirov Airships are new and in high demand, and therefore is short supply. While increasing numbers of Soviet airbases are being given authority to manufacture these dirigibles locally, this process is time-consuming and expensive.

• Limitless bombs -- In spite of the huge size of the Kirov, it fits only a small number of individuals. Although it could conceivably carry hundreds of passengers, it instead holds thousands of bombs--more than enough for any single battle.

• Gastroburners -- Kirov pilots have access to a special chemical compound that, when released into the engine block, causes the mighty airship to reach a greater-than-usual top speed. The drawback is that the compound is toxic, and slowly corrodes the Kirov from the inside.

• Explosive Potential -- While no Kirov has ever been shot down according to official records, physicists theorize that the volatile chemical compound and sheer number of bombs contained within these vessels would likely explode catastrophically in the unlikely event one should ever fall.
