Red Sea waters.
After receiving the order from Moscow, the Indian Ocean fleet also set sail. They crossed the Arabian Sea and entered the Red Sea, preparing to enter the Mediterranean Sea from the Suez Canal.
Here, they are already under the control of the Soviets. Although on the east coast of the Red Sea, the lingering Saudi royal government is still trying to maintain their rule, but they have lost their fighting spirit long ago after many defeats.
Even so, the Indian Ocean Fleet has made comprehensive preparations. After all, a few hours ago, the Black Sea Fleet encountered an attack by a stealth aircraft carrying a nuclear bomb. Although the final interception was successful, it still made people sweat. Therefore, the Indian Ocean Fleet was shocked. , be prepared!
The meter wave radar was fully turned on, and the sky was filled with a large number of radar signals. The carrier-based Yak-44 early warning aircraft and two Su-33 carrier-based aircraft flew on the left and right of the aircraft carrier, monitoring every move around.
On the Soviet aircraft carrier, Captain Victor, who is also the commander-in-chief of the entire aircraft carrier formation, looked at the chart and was full of confidence in the upcoming battle.
Blockade the western waters of Israel, and turn Israel into a turtle in a urn!
Blockade of Israel, and more importantly, cut off the support of other Western countries to Israel! No ships of any kind are allowed to dock in Israeli ports! No blood transfusions to Israel!
Including civil aviation flights, are not allowed to fly into Israeli airspace! Including any fighter jets, anyone that flies over will be shot down!
The biggest obstacle to our own blockade in the Mediterranean Sea is still the United States! After getting the information, the US aircraft carrier formation is also gathering in the Indian Ocean. If the US Navy wants to participate in the war, their fate will also be sunk! The will of Moscow cannot be violated!
In the past, the Soviet Union had faced off against the US Navy. At that time, in order to avoid the outbreak of conflict, but also to avoid exposing its own target, the Soviet Union had been to the South Pole under the command of Marshal Andrei!
And now, it's different! If the U.S. Navy dares to come, then its own side will dare to meet it and kill the other side!
Standing in his room, through the porthole, Victor looked at the warship in front of him, second only to the Soviet Union's giant, the Type 1144 Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser Frunze. Sail with the USSR and use its powerful firepower to **** the USSR!
The Kirov class is a masterpiece of the Soviet Navy. The entire warship, equipped with more than 500 missiles, is the most powerful attack weapon! This super nuclear-powered giant with a displacement of more than 25,000 tons is simply an arsenal ship!
After returning from the last mission in the South African waters, the Kirov class also entered the dock, and at the same time as mid-term maintenance, a weapon replacement was also carried out.
For example, a meter wave radar device was installed to form a network to detect stealth aircraft, and the long-range air defense missile was replaced by the latest Rif-m long-range air defense missile, which was improved from the land-based s-300. , with a maximum range of 150 kilometers! Is the main force of the fleet's area air defense!
At the same time, in addition to relying on the Kirov class to undertake the regional air defense force, the fleet has also newly commissioned a special air defense destroyer, codenamed Dreadnought 4.
Originally, the Soviets did not have special anti-aircraft destroyers. After all, the thinking of the Soviet Navy was to attack! Attack the enemy with a large number of long-range anti-ship missiles! As for how to protect yourself, as long as you defeat the enemy, you will be protected at the same time.
Afterwards, at the suggestion of Andre, the Soviet Red Navy changed its thinking and built a specialized air defense destroyer Dreadnought 3 on the basis of Dreadnought 2, similar to the American Aegis system, through a four-sided phased array Radar and vertically-launched anti-aircraft missiles give this warship a strong air defense capability.
After it was built, it was deeply liked by the Red Navy. While the Dreadnought 3 continued to be manufactured, the modified Dreadnought 4 was also proposed.
The displacement of Dreadnought 3 is only 8,000 tons, and the potential of the hull has been tapped. If you want to better undertake air defense tasks, you need to enlarge the hull!
The displacement has been enlarged to 10,000 tons, and the four-sided phased array radar is still used. However, it has been replaced by the latest active phased array radar, which has led to a soaring construction cost.
At the same time, the biggest change is the launch unit!
The previous launch unit was a revolver type, a set of launch units with only one launch port, and the missile needed to be rotated to the past, but now, each launch silo of the launch unit has a launch port, and the launch speed is faster.
At the same time, the bigger change is the improvement of versatility!
In the past few decades, the Soviets have developed a large number of air defense and anti-ship missiles. Various missiles have different shapes, and the launchers are not interchangeable, and each uses its own.
At the same time, the Aegis warship of the United States has begun to realize modularization, which can be loaded with various missiles, which is quite convenient, and this fearless has also been improved under this idea, and finally realized Same purpose.
This kind of launch silo is no longer a revolver type. It is very similar to the vertical launch device in the United States. Moreover, it adopts thermal launch technology and designs a complex flue system.
It can not only launch large Rif-m air defense missiles, but also can launch four bombs in one pit, and launch medium and short-range air defense missiles. After matching, the Sam-11 can be stuffed completely!
At the same time, in addition to air defense, it can also launch anti-submarine, anti-ship missiles, and even ground-attack cruise missiles!
Yes, cruise missiles!
In the Soviet equipment arsenal, ballistic missiles are the most famous, such as the Poplar series, etc., while the United States is the most famous for cruise missiles, such as the Tomahawk, which is famous.
The two methods are different. Ballistic missiles, after being launched, escape from the atmosphere and perform ballistic flight. Relying on the speed of up to Mach 10, the opponent cannot intercept them.
And cruise missiles, after launch, fly at ultra-low altitudes like airplanes, evading detection in this way. Compared with the two, cruise missiles are more stealthy!
In fact, a large number of Soviet anti-ship missiles, in essence, can also be attributed to the sequence of cruise missiles.
And now, in the 132 launch units of Dreadnought 4, more than 20 cruise missiles are mixed, which is also the latest Soviet model kh-55v.
The kh-55 is a missile developed by the Rainbow Design Bureau of the Soviet Union in 1968. The appearance of this missile is similar to the Tomahawk, so it is also called Tomahawk.
The size of this missile is similar to the Rif-m missile, except that the length is a little shorter, so it just fits into a general-purpose silo! Moreover, the loading is the latest model, the biggest feature of this model is the improvement of stealth!
