Northern Fleet! Originally, the Northern Fleet was the most powerful of the Soviet fleets. The Northern Fleet's activities cover the entire Arctic Circle, the North Atlantic Ocean and the waters around Canada, and the Arctic Circle is the best launch site for Soviet strategic missiles. At the same time, they can also support the campaign against Europe at any time. In later generations, when the scenery of Russia has disappeared, the only aircraft carrier Kuznetsov is still attached to the Northern Fleet.
But now, the importance of the Northern Fleet has been greatly reduced. After all, in the Far East, the Soviets need to compete for hegemony in the Pacific Ocean, and in the Indian Ocean, the Soviets are already invincible, and the Soviets are already in high-speed global expansion. At the same time, in Europe, the Soviets have also established a good situation.
Therefore, in the current Northern Fleet, there is only one aircraft carrier Novorossiysk. This aircraft carrier was of the Kyiv class when it was built. From the appearance point of view, it is very similar to the later aircraft carrier Kuznetsov. It has an angled deck and an upturned bow. The entire deck is used to take off and land carrier aircraft. Those complex missiles are especially powerful. The anti-ship missiles were stuffed under the deck.
At the beginning, when in service, when passing through the Turkish Strait, the Novorossiysk was refreshed and shocked the turkey. But after that, the Novorossiysk, in the Northern Fleet, has always been unknown!
And now, finally have a good opportunity to send troops to fight Alaska! The Northern Fleet, located near the Arctic Circle, has considerable experience in combat in cold regions!
Therefore, the Northern Fleet also participated in this operation! They sailed fast from the Arctic Circle and rushed to the East Siberian Sea, ready to support their own landing operations.
However, the strong air currents in the Arctic Circle made the captain, Captain Dovernia, extremely depressed.
"The current air flow is very complicated. Our carrier-based aircraft cannot take off under this condition. Otherwise, it may encounter crosswinds during takeoff and be in danger." Inside the bridge, Dophnia Captain of the Navy, listen to the narrative of the director of carrier-based aviation.
Compared with other places, the climate near the Arctic Circle is fickle! Originally, the meteorological department predicted that there was only about 5th grade east wind in this sea area. At this time, it was the most suitable to take off. However, just before the take-off, a sudden change in the weather began to occur! The airflow here is changing at any time!
An aircraft carrier needs to take off against the wind. No matter what aircraft carrier it is, if you want to release a carrier-based aircraft, you must sail at full speed, in the direction where the wind is blowing, to create as many conditions for the take-off of the carrier-based aircraft as possible, even if it is the United States. For a human aircraft carrier, the catapult is already powerful enough, and it still has to turn to the upwind direction for takeoff.
At the same time, carrier-based aircraft pilots are most afraid of encountering crosswinds! Once there is a crosswind, it can blow the plane to one side! This is quite dangerous!
For an aircraft carrier that takes off by catapult, the crosswind during takeoff is not terrible. After all, because of the catapult, the aircraft will not deviate from the trajectory of takeoff, and it will be dangerous when landing.
For the current Novorossiysk, not only has it landed, but it is also quite difficult to take off. If you want to take off from the ski-jump deck on the bow, it depends entirely on the pilot's own technology!
When the wind direction is constantly changing at any time, it is obviously very difficult to take off.
Captain Dophbonia nodded, but his words were still quite firm: "Yes, our fighter jets take off, there is great danger, but as soldiers, we are already mentally prepared to serve our country at any time. Die!"
"Now, the motherland needs us, the front needs us, and our ground effect aircraft unit needs an **** air force. We are duty-bound! Even if we lost half of our fighter planes during takeoff, it's worth it! If If we lose a ground-effect aircraft, then we will lose thousands of elite soldiers!" Colonel Dophbnia is firm: "Now, we have no choice! The motherland needs us, we have no hesitation, and we are willing to sacrifice. This is the duty of a soldier!"
Hearing the words of Colonel Dovernia, finally, the director of the carrier-based aviation force on the side was moved. Yes, now, the motherland is calling us, and the motherland needs us! We ourselves, no matter how big the risk, is worth it!
"Order, immediately release the carrier aircraft!"
The carrier plane takes off! The pilots who have been waiting in the cabin for a long time are already gearing up! Alaska was taken by the Americans by conspiracy from the Soviets, and now the Soviets need to retake Alaska!
Their mission is to **** the landing troops! No matter how difficult it is, we must fight bravely!
take off!
On the long take-off line, a MiG-23k was ready to go. After the take-off order came, the pilot immediately turned on the afterburner, and the two rd33 engines at the tail burst out with maximum thrust, and the baffles seemed to shine. The appearance of the plane coming out Then, release the brakes, and the MiG-23k rolls quickly on the runway!
Speed, getting faster and faster! At the same time, the distance between the plane's trajectory and the white take-off line is also getting farther and farther away! A crosswind, blowing from the left, blew the fighter to the right!
At this point, the pilot knew that he had deviated from the direction, but he could no longer control the steering of the front wheels and could only continue to roll forward!
When he rolled onto the jump deck, he was already in the middle of the two takeoff lines!
Everyone held their breath and watched the plane nervously, only to see that it had come to the takeoff line on the right, and then, when it was about to fall off the right side of the jump deck, it finally took off. !
All the people are relieved, they know that this is the beginning!
Then, the second, the third, the MiG-23k, rolled off the takeoff line with the spirit of fearlessness, and took off!
The motherland needs us!
The crosswind blew the fighter planes constantly deviating from the scheduled route, but they were all fearless!
"Oh, no!" On the bridge, a MiG-23k was clearly seen. When taking off, the first half of the route was very regular, but when it reached the middle of the jump deck, a strong The sea breeze blew, and the plane blew into the sea abruptly!
At the moment of falling into the sea, a fire flashed, and the pilot pulled the ejection handle.
"Go on, the next one!" Colonel Doverbonia didn't show any expression: "Send the helicopter and rescue the pilot."
The pilot in the back continued to take off without hesitation!
Fortunately, only this MiG-23k fell into the sea. A total of twenty-three MiG-23k took off from Novorossiysk smoothly. This is the support of the Northern Fleet!
