In the process of development, the Soviet Union found that it is obviously not enough to rely only on the ground effect of the wings. Therefore, they installed an external mount for this aircraft, and simply added an engine to the front to directly blow the airflow to the back. Ground effect! In this way, the ground-effect aircraft is more effective. The killer of the current aircraft carrier is a 400-ton class, and the largest Caspian sea monster is a 1,000-ton class. The transport aircraft will never be so abnormal.
However, the use of ground-effect aircraft is also limited, and it cannot be used in high sea conditions. Therefore, Andre suggested that ground-effect aircraft can be installed in amphibious landing ships. It is usually in transport state and can be used at critical times. Under his suggestion, the flower-tailed pigeon has been improved, and the focus is to make the wings at both ends into a foldable form, just like a naval carrier-based aircraft.
Historically, only one such missile attacked ground-effect aircraft was made, but now, there are at least ten such aircraft in the Soviet Union! It's been kept in such a state of extreme secrecy that Americans don't even know it exists. Although Americans knew about the Caspian Sea monster, they always thought that this kind of thing was still in an experimental state and not fully mature.
The length of the flower-tailed pigeon is just right, and the Ivan-Rogoff-class dock landing ship is just placed in the front and rear, that is, the wings on both sides are super wide, and after folding, it is just right.
And now, when the flower-tailed pigeon showed half of its body and was still on the top of the dock landing ship, the wings on both sides began to slowly release and lock. It took half an hour, and finally, these huge guys, unfolded slumped completely into the water.
"Start the engine," shouted the captain.
As the operator pushed the operating levers in front of them one by one, the engines on both sides continued to roar, and the rear of the NK-87 turbofan engine emitted fiery airflow and spewed backwards.
"The engine is fine."
"Check the navigation equipment."
"The satellite navigation system is normal and the compass is normal."
"Check communications equipment."
"The communication equipment is normal."
"Soviet, Soviet, and Flower-tailed Pigeon 1 are normal, requesting a mission."
"Soviet, Soviet, and Flower-tailed Pigeon 2 are normal, requesting a mission."
"You can carry out the mission, pay attention, leave our formation, you belong to the Argentine Navy." Andre shouted in the radio.
Argentina has formed a relationship with the US Navy, but the Soviet Navy has not. The navies of the two major powers are directly confronting the sea, which can easily lead to a world war. Therefore, Andre is also very careful, and the stumble has to be behind. The two ground effect aircraft were indeed sold to the Argentine Navy. However, if the Argentine Navy cannot master the operation of these aircraft in a short period of time, its own personnel can also help the Argentine Navy in the form of mercenaries. People have nothing to do with the Soviet Navy.
After getting the order, the captain gave the take-off order, and the operator pushed the operating lever to turn on the afterburner of all the engines, and the vigorous thrust of a single 130 kN drove the ground-effect aircraft to glide quickly on the sea.
Rolling, continuing to roll, the wide sea is like a runway for a ground-effect aircraft, but soon, the 400-ton ground-effect aircraft suddenly became lighter. As the speed increased, the wings already had enough. Ground effect, can successfully lift the entire aircraft!
The speed continued to increase, but the altitude did not rise. At an altitude of five or six meters above sea level, the ground effect aircraft was cruising at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour! Mhamad promised the Argentines that he would deliver the ground-effect aircraft a few hours later. He definitely didn't lie. Now, the formation at sea is only 1,000 kilometers away from the waters near the Falklands, and it will arrive in two hours! And the entire aircraft carrier formation, if it wants to pass, it will take at least a day! Even if it rushes at full speed, it will take half a day to release the carrier aircraft.
Now, there are no American satellites overhead, and the two ground effect vehicles leave quietly.
At sea, the waves continued to beat, and night gradually fell.
"What a speechless day!" Captain Harold said on the USS America: "We just waited like this, thinking we could wait for some good news, but Galtieri still appeared on TV. to call on the whole of Argentina to rise up against us."
After Harold's request reached the Pentagon and reached the White House, the top officials of the White House had urgent discussions. However, they did not agree to send strategic bombers to carry out carpet bombing, which would hit the Argentines psychologically.
There are many reasons. For example, the indigenous people on the island still want to return to the arms of the United Kingdom. Such bombing, regardless of whether they are enemy or foe, will push them to the opposite side.
Moreover, now that the United States does not have air dominance, the loss of a few A-7 attack aircraft can be tolerated. If the B-52 is shot down, the United States will definitely go crazy!
Faced with this situation, the White House finally made up its mind and prepared to carry out a decapitation strike. After the intelligence officers determined that Galtieri had been living in the presidential palace, two F-117 fighter jets took off, traveled long distances, and threw them on the presidential palace. Dropped laser-guided bombs.
As a result, Galtieri is still alive and well! Moreover, Argentina's policy has completely turned to the Soviet Union! Galtieri claimed that the bombing of the presidential palace was intolerable, and the two sides officially broke off.
Really retarded, the last time a stealth plane blew up Saddam it was definitely an accident! After that, the situation in Iraq was not restored. The son of Saddam Hussein, who took office, was almost a puppet of the Soviet Union! It can be said that it is better to continue to let Saddam govern. After all, Saddam was an ambitious person, and he would definitely not be reconciled to being controlled by the Soviet Union, and Saddam's son would not have such courage!
Stealth planes are good, but you can't use them like this!
"Has the White House decision been made?" Harold asked Thomas, who was beside him.
"Yes, after a day of debate, the White House decided to send the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group to form a dual aircraft carrier battle group. After the arrival of this aircraft carrier battle group, we will continue to bomb the Falklands." Thomas said.
Although our own aircraft carrier battle group still has combat effectiveness, if we want to achieve an overwhelming victory, we must dispatch a second aircraft carrier battle group. Last time, we just did not expect anti-aircraft artillery on the ground. If you have already taken precautions, you will never make the same mistake last time!
The advantage is still on our side! The attack power of the US aircraft carrier battle group is absolutely unbearable for ordinary small countries! Neither does Argentina! Since Argentina is not convinced, then continue to conquer them by force! (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
