"The Soviets are desperate." Inside the bridge of the USS Nimitz, Captain Miller said: "What has been hidden underwater is the Oscar-class submarine of the Soviets."
When he said this, his face was extremely gloomy, because everyone knew what the Oscar-class submarine was for.
This is the Soviet Union's specialized anti-aircraft carrier cruise missile submarine! After the development of the previous models, the Soviet Union finally developed a mature submarine. It is equipped with 24 SS-N-19 anti-ship missiles on both sides, with a range of 550 kilometers, allowing this submarine to approach its own side for 500 kilometers. Kilometers of seas are dangerous! But today, this submarine, at the most recent time, was probably no more than fifty kilometers away from our side! At this distance, not to mention the powerful anti-ship missiles, even the 650mm torpedoes, can pose a fatal threat to oneself, not to mention that the Soviet torpedoes have nuclear warheads! This is the way of burning jade and stone!
Now, the Soviets have taken a stance, and the missile launch covers are all open. If they go their own way, it will anger the Soviets, and they will definitely dare to launch missiles!
I really didn't expect that a perfect hunting operation on my side would turn into this, and now, although several of my own anti-aircraft ships have started to **** to the front of the aircraft carrier, it is still unknown whether they can intercept supersonic anti-ship missiles. If the interception fails, it means that they will use their warship hulls as targets to protect the aircraft carrier!
The distance is less than 100 kilometers. The Soviet anti-ship missiles don't even need guidance. Just activate the mad dog mode and launch them directly into the sea area. Those missiles have a huge volume, and the front-end guidance radar is enough to actively detect them. warship!
How to do? Lieutenant General Jonathan is now in a dilemma. If the submarine can be captured completely, it will be of great significance to the US Navy. We can study the performance of the Soviet submarine. How can the silence be so perfect? It is also possible to study those powerful missiles, understand its guidance principle and flight process, and formulate interception measures.
Everyone is impatient to get this submarine over, but now, the Soviets have put on a life-and-death posture. The Americans dare to go forward, and they absolutely dare to launch missiles madly! And once our own aircraft carrier formation is attacked, the third world war will really begin!
It is not the responsibility of Lieutenant General Jonathan to start the Third World War mode without authorization from the top. Without the consent of the US Congress, not even President Carter has the power to ignite the flames of World War III!
"In the direction of Chahbahar, a large number of fighter planes are flying." At this moment, the E-2 early warning aircraft suddenly sent an early warning signal: "It is expected to arrive in five minutes, the number of two aviation regiments, fifty, there may be large bomber."
Chakhbahar! Now our own aircraft carrier formation is less than 200 kilometers away from Chahbahar! Chakhbahar has a small field airfield, and if it takes off from there, warplanes will soon pounce.
And now, with a scale of fifty, apparently the Soviet Union received the submarine's call for help and came to the rescue! And now, our own dual aircraft carrier formation can take off no more than 40 air superiority fighters, and it is simply unable to fight in both anti-submarine and air defense at the same time!
"Abandon the Soviet submarines, catapult Tomcats, F-18s, air combat mounts, and prepare for the second wave of takeoffs!" said Lieutenant General Jonathan.
In addition to the main Tomcat fighter for air dominance, the F-18 has always been a versatile player. Now, it can only rely on the Tomcat fighter to seize air dominance, and rely on the F-18 to deal with the slow bombers that follow. !
Emergency takeoff! The engines of the two aircraft carriers, with full power, drove the aircraft carriers to sail at full speed, and then, on the catapults, one after another Tomcat fighter jets were quickly ejected into the air.
"Red Coral Squadron, bearing 030."
"Xiaolushu Squadron, orientation 035."
The early warning aircraft took over the command of the Tomcat and quickly directed the direction of the Tomcat.
The huge aircraft carrier, the body is getting slower and slower, the catapult carrier aircraft, and the full speed sailing, the two sides are contradictory, because both need steam! Although the boiler is already running at the highest power, the continuous ejection of the carrier-based aircraft has caused the boiler pressure to drop continuously and can only be stopped temporarily. It also took time for Curry to lift the carrier aircraft up.
After the Tomcat took off, the afterburner was fully on, the wings were swept back, and it sprinted towards the predetermined target. After flying for two minutes, it made its first contact with the Soviet aircraft.
The pilot opened his eyes wide and flew side by side with the Soviet aircraft, which had already changed course and headed west, avoiding the direction of the American carrier.
what plane is this?
For the Americans, this was the first contact with the Soviet aircraft in front of them. In the past, they used to fight the MiG - the variable-sweep wing fighter, but now, the Soviet aircraft, the shape is completely different from the MiG.
The structure of the dual engine, the intake port is in the lower part, from the outside, it seems that the entire fuselage is sitting on the intake port and the engine. The nose is slightly inclined, and the back ridge is slightly raised. Moreover, it is obvious that the entire fuselage seems to be one body. This is called a wing-body fusion structure, right?
At the same time, the Soviet pilots were also looking at them. They all belonged to the establishment of the Soviet Naval Air Force These planes were painted with the blue livery dedicated to the Navy Air Force.
With the smooth operation of the Iranian region, the Soviet Union will soon have a newly formed Indian Ocean fleet, and at the same time there will be a new naval aviation stationed, mainly responsible for the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. And these fighters are also the latest MiG-29 fighter jets! At the field airfield in Chahbahar, these fighter planes were temporarily stationed, and they received a combat mission almost as soon as they came over!
The American aircraft carrier formation is besieging one of its own submarines! Now, their task is to attract the attention of the American aircraft carrier, so that the United States has no time to shoot its own submarines!
At the same time, in addition to the MiG-29 of their regiment, there is also a regiment of Tu-22M bombers to deter the American aircraft carrier formation with them!
Now, the carrier-based aircraft of the US aircraft carrier intercepted them. In order to avoid the escalation of the confrontation, they did not continue to fly in the direction of the US aircraft carrier, but turned to the west. Lead Americans by the nose. At the same time, there is still the position of our own submarine!
This was the first time that the MiG-29 faced off against a Western fighter jet. However, both sides were cautious and did not engage in a wonderful fight. Both sides were in the cockpit, constantly looking at each other. (To be continued.)
