Chapter 798： Helicopter reconnaissance

"Boom, boom." In the distant sky, there was a roar of an engine.

Damn it! Cruise rushed out of his room and saw two U.S. Navy ship-based helicopters, the Sh-3 Sea King, in the sky in the distance!

The American helicopter actually flew to these oil platforms of our own! Although it is impossible to find the ground effect aircraft hidden under the oil platform from the satellite pictures, but if the Yankee's helicopter keeps flying around the platform of its own, it can still find some clues!

Damn it! How to do? At this moment, Cruise thought of something and ran towards the back of the platform, shouting, "Ignite, Ignite!"

These are two helicopters taking off from the Leahy-class cruiser, and their main task this time is to search the nearby sea, especially the oil platform here.

Although they are not authorized, they cannot strike these oil platforms. However, American helicopter pilots hate these oil platforms. The oil platforms that Argentina and Iraq cooperated with? It was clear that the Soviets intervened! Thinking of the losses suffered by our side in the bombing of the Falklands last time, the American pilots are even more itchy!

"Attention, the oil platform that is about to approach the other side, be prepared to be attacked." Captain Locke said.

Are these oil platforms just ordinary oil platforms, or are they weird? For example, some weapons such as anti-ship missiles are placed on it, waiting for an opportunity to attack US warships? America needs to do some research! Therefore, the US aircraft carrier formation did not act, but sent two helicopters to search.

Before there is any other news, these things are all civilian facilities.

And if your own helicopter was attacked, it would be different, and it would immediately become a military target! Even if someone above is shooting at oneself with an assault rifle, that is a militant!

The helicopter was slowly approaching, and at the same time, the pilot was ready. Once they found a situation on it, they immediately fully opened the throttle, quickly evacuated, and then called the carrier aircraft of the aircraft carrier to come over and destroy all these oil platforms.

In the back cabin, the door is open, and there is a Marine Corps soldier, who is operating a large-caliber machine gun on one side. Although this aircraft has no short wings on both sides, it cannot mount bombs or anything. However, the large-caliber machine gun A machine gun to deal with an oil platform is also a powerful weapon!

"Damn, what is that?" Just as he was about to approach, he saw hot flames and thick smoke billowing from the mouth of a pipe erected high on the oil platform.

At the same time, everyone on the platform came out of the platform, stood on it, and shouted loudly.

Locke glanced at it, and was immediately stunned: "This is really an oil platform. The Argentines are so lucky. They have successfully produced oil in just a few days."

As an experienced navy pilot, of course Locke has seen such a scene. When an offshore oil platform wants to drill an oil well, it is often a matter of luck. Now, this oil well has successfully extracted oil! And that nozzle is the gas that is erupting burning! This is wasteful, but necessary.

A bunch of bad luck guys!

"The next oil platform!" Locke said.

The cheering crowd looked so abominable, and Locke didn't have any mood to say hello to these people, let alone greet them with the machine gun behind him. Although he actually had this urge, he still suppressed his rage. Mood.

In the sky, two helicopters flew away, and the people on the platform let out a long breath.

This oil platform is simply disguised. Under such circumstances, how can Argentines have the mood to drill oil wells! This is the hiding spot of their secret attack aircraft carrier weapon!

And just now, it was not the crude oil and gas that was burned, but the fuel oil stored on this oil platform! For the oil platform to work, it needs power, which is generated by its own generator on the oil platform! At the same time, in order to serve the ground effect aircraft, the aviation fuel required by the ground effect aircraft is also stored on this platform.

Now, the Americans finally flew away, and the cheering crowd just dropped a big rock.

"It seems that the Americans have become suspicious of the oil platform here, and we must launch an attack as soon as possible." Cruise said: "Marchestan, how are you practicing?"

Although the Soviets can stay on the ground effect aircraft and help the Argentines when necessary, it is better for the Argentines to operate it themselves, which is more secure, destroying the American aircraft carrier, and has nothing to do with the Soviet Union. , did not destroy the American aircraft carrier, was killed by the American carrier-based aircraft, and it was the Argentine who died.

Hearing Cruise's question, Marchestan said: "We are completely familiar with the essentials of the operation, but we have not yet performed the actual operation."

Even if you learn to drive, you can't move the car, just hug the steering wheel on it, and if you want to drive such a behemoth without actual operation, it is absolutely impossible.

"Then we will conduct a practical operation tonight to master the operation of this weapon as soon as possible." Cruise said: "There is not much time left for us."

In order to prevent detection by Americans, this ground effect aircraft is currently in a highly confidential state, and the actual operation must be placed at night!

Marchestan nodded: "We can't wait! Even if we attack now and kill the American aircraft carrier, we are confident!"

It's hard to say, but as long as you master it, you can figure it out. The person responsible for driving this ground effect aircraft is a skilled pilot with a thousand flying hours. As long as you are familiar with the Soviet instruments, there is no big problem.

"Come on, let's continue to get acquainted with the operation now," Marchestan said, and began to walk down the ladder.

The ground effect aircraft below has been painted blue, almost blending with the sea surface. Just now, it is actually not ignited. As long as the other party is not careful, it will never be seen. At the same time, on the tail , and also painted the emblem of the Argentine Navy.

The eight engines on both sides have been tightly wrapped with tarpaulins to prevent the erosion of salt at sea. After all, this oil platform is too simple. If there is a problem with the engine, it cannot be repaired.

The time of day passed quickly, and night came again.

A small boat docked next to the oil platform dragged the ground effect aircraft out of the oil platform, and then the sheets of the engines on both sides were opened, and the ground effect aircraft was ready to take off again!

"Turn on the switch and perform a self-test."

"The self-test is normal, and the oil circuit starts to supply oil."

"Start the engine." Marchestan, as the captain, kept giving orders. The pilot on his side, George Colombo, skillfully pushed the operating levers one by one. In an instant, there was a roar on both sides, and the engine started successfully! (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
