Does the "Kirov Airship" really exist?

I believe that many people have played and come into contact with the "Red Alert" game. In this magical military strategy game, players use various types of arms to use their special features. Ability to carry out cooperative operations to defeat the enemy camp and win the game. And in the Soviet camp in the game, there is a huge airship with amazing firepower-the Kirov airship, which is even more refreshing, especially the phrase "Kirov reporting" that has changed countless players. So has such a weapon of war soaring in the sky really appeared in world history?

The answer is yes, but the country where the airship first appeared was not the Soviet Union, but France. Due to the rapid outbreak of the second technological revolution, France also carried out a lot of mechanical research. With the successful invention of the internal combustion engine, new tools such as airplanes, automobiles, and airships were also born. At that time, France invented the automobile to freely ride the vast expanse of land, then set its sights on the vast sky, and in 1852 invented the first airship in human history to fly into the sky.

According to historical records, the airship is 44 meters long, 12 meters in diameter, and shaped like a cigar, with a pod hung below it, equipped with a 3-horsepower steam engine and a rudder. At that time, the inventor Henry Giffard drove it all the way from Paris to Trapps. The total length of the journey was 27 kilometers. The first airship in human history was actually unreliable. The software structure on the airship As a result, its wind resistance is not strong, so people at that time did not develop it into military weapons.

It was not until 1900 that Earl Zeppelin in Germany invented the first airship with a hard structure. This hard structure airship uses a piston engine as a power propulsion. The flight performance was good, and the loading capacity was amazing, so that people at the time saw the broad military use of this big guy. In the subsequent process, the "Zeppelin Airship Company" established under the name of Zeppelin continued to produce military airships. In the first ten years, it produced 113 airships for the military, and demonstrated its power in the First World War. These aerial giants are carrying huge bombs one by one, and the boats are also equipped with artillery and machine guns. They can be said to be dead-on wherever they go. From this point of view, it is indeed the same as the "Kirov Airship" in the game Coincidentally.

The history has developed to this day. With all kinds of aerial reconnaissance aircraft, fighters emerge in endlessly, and the anti-aircraft force is also increasing. These are huge and poorly maneuverable. The boats have gradually faded out of people's sight. Nowadays, the empty boats are mostly used for commercial purposes. I believe that no matter who sees these cute, naive big guys, they will never think of their hideous side in the battlefield.
