Can't take the initiative to attack! If the first attack of one's own side was only tentative, now, judging from the signal of the radar opened by the other side, it should be a Tomcat fighter jet, not a Turkish Air Force fighter jet as originally expected!
Shooting down a Turkish fighter jet is one thing, and shooting down an American fighter jet is another. The direct confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States could easily lead to the outbreak of a world war. Now, the first shot cannot be taken on the initiative!
If the Americans are going to open fire, they have already launched Phoenix missiles to attack the two fighter jets they have released! Now, the Americans are obviously very cautious. Since this is the case, then it is better for everyone to confront each other like this, and not to open fire easily!
"Understood." Genia replied on the radio, and she followed the lead pilot and continued to fly forward.
At the same time, at the mouth of the Aegean Sea, the US aircraft carrier formation is also moving in this direction. When the Soviets are about to break in, the US Navy already knows that the situation is not good.
How to do? Release the Soviet aircraft carrier? Then this conspiracy went bankrupt, and in the future, the even larger all-catapult aircraft carriers of the Soviet Union will definitely continue to rush out arrogantly! Our own plan to intercept the Soviet aircraft carrier has completely failed! Continue to compete with the Soviets? If a serious conflict does break out, it will lead to a world war! In the absence of authorization from the White House, any senior general must exercise the necessary restraint!
Therefore, when he received a request from his own carrier-based aircraft, for a moment, the wily Mark didn't know what to choose. The Soviets' carrier-based aircraft are intercepting their own carrier-based aircraft and hindering their approach. In fact, after the Soviets launched a missile demonstration, their own carrier-based aircraft cannot approach the Soviet aircraft carrier at a distance of 100 kilometers!
"Call the carrier aircraft back. Since we are not determined to fight the Soviets, this air confrontation is unnecessary." Colonel Bonn, commander of the 7th Carrier Air Wing, said.
Continue to fight with the Soviets and show off your own fighters? The performance of the Tomcat has fallen behind its rivals! After this confrontation is over, Congress must pass the budget and fully replace the new engine for its own Tomcat fighter! Otherwise, this battle will not be able to be fought at all! In the air battle over Iraq, our own Tomcat fighters continued to suffer from insufficient engine thrust!
Now, it is not advantageous to fight against the Soviet carrier-based aircraft. Instead, it is better to take back all the fighters!
"Come back?" The division of labor between the captain of the aircraft carrier and the commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing is different. The captain of the aircraft carrier is mainly responsible for the entire fleet and prepares the carrier-based aircraft, while the operations of the carrier-based aircraft are mainly the command of the wing. The officer came to command, and now, when he heard Colonel Bonn's words, Mark was still a little puzzled.
"Yes, there is no need for our carrier-based aircraft to entangle with them. I think it is better for us to line up our warships and cover the entire Aegean Sea to see how the Soviets pass!" Bonn said angrily.
We have three aircraft carrier formations, with nearly a hundred warships in size. If they are lined up, they can cover the entire surface of the Aegean Sea.
Bonn said that just now, but it was just angry words. However, when he listened to Mark's mind, he was suddenly relieved. Now, the Soviet aircraft carrier formation rushed out, and there was no other way for him to do so. He must confront the Soviets at sea. , instead of confronting each other in the Mediterranean, it is better to block the bell mouth of the Aegean Sea here!
As for the reasons, there are many, for example, we are conducting anti-submarine exercises, searching for unknown underwater targets, etc. There are various reasons, depending on how the Soviets respond! As long as the Soviets can be blocked in the Aegean Sea, that is a victory!
However, this tactic seems to be an idiot? The aircraft carrier formation is an oval whole, with the aircraft carrier in the middle, and the destroyer and frigate formations all around, but now, they have to be lined up. If the Soviets launch anti-ship missiles, their own aircraft carriers will definitely not be able to suffer such a situation. A major blow!
"I think it's fine." At this moment, Lieutenant General Wylie, who had been silent for a while, said. He is from Europe and is the commander-in-chief of this fleet.
Block the Soviets! Do the Soviets really dare to rush over?
"Lieutenant Admiral, I'm afraid this is not right?" Now, hearing that even the commander-in-chief of the fleet agreed, Bonn frowned immediately. He was really just talking about it just now!
"What's wrong? Let our fighter jets fly too, especially the attack planes with anti-ship missiles! If the Soviets dare to launch a salvo of anti-ship missiles at us, then we will also shoot the anti-ship missiles on their heads. , the Soviet navy is still weak, and they rely mainly on shore-based aviation. In the Aegean Sea, the Soviet aviation is beyond reach.”
We still have the maritime advantage! Recalling that the confrontation in the Indian Ocean actually allowed the Soviets to gain the upper hand, Lieutenant General Wylie was brooding.
Moreover, the two sides still haven't torn their faces or declared war, it's just a fierce confrontation in the Cold War. This time, we will give the Soviets a big deal!
This time, we must show the powerful battle of the US Navy! Although the total tonnage of the Soviets' navy is increasing, they are still unable to compete with the US Navy! Our side is blocking the bell mouth of the Aegean Sea, and see how the Soviet naval fleet comes out!
Those foolish Turks were unable to stop the Soviet naval invasion even in their own country's territorial waters! What a bunch of scumbags! What are those harpoon missiles for? At least a few can be released to scare the Soviets, do they really dare to go to war with Turkey? Do not make jokes! If the war really starts, Turkey will definitely block the strait, and then see how the Soviets get out of the Black Sea! Moreover, in order to protect Turkey's strategic position, NATO will definitely dispatch troops to protect Turkey!
Since the commander-in-chief has issued an order, Bonn did not insist on his own opinion. On the deck of the aircraft carrier and in the hangar, they began to be busy. These days, they are performing ground attack missions. Therefore, the attack aircraft carried It's all ground-attack ammunition, and now, they need to go to the Soviets to demonstrate, so reload the anti-ship missiles!
The three aircraft carrier formations, changing formations, continued to drive in the direction of the Aegean Sea. A few hours later, the formations of the two sides met in the beautiful Aegean Sea. The formation of the U.S. Navy in a one-line array is like a battleship formation in the World War I era, exuding a dignified aura. At the same time, several large groups of aircraft are flying in different airspaces over the entire formation, and they will dive at any time. Come down and attack! (To be continued.)
