Great warships

Chapter 605
On the sea, the waves are rough.

The huge fleet of 34 warships looks very spectacular. At this time, standing on the island of the [-]-ton aircraft carrier, overlooking the entire fleet, Commander Brown is full of confidence.

"More than ten years ago, we had won a war, and now, we are still capable of winning the next war!" Brown's tone was very affirmative, and this huge fleet gave him great confidence.

Since January of this year, their fleet has set out from the port in the bitter cold wind, passing through Gibraltar, the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and Malacca. It is mighty and mighty.

"Your Excellency, our fleet is still lacking. So far, we don't have a suitable carrier-based early warning aircraft. If an aircraft flies at an ultra-low altitude, it will be difficult for our fleet to spot it from a long distance." Carrier Captain Ruburt Te is very nervous, because he is well aware of the disadvantages of his own light aircraft carrier formation.

Compared with the fleet more than ten years ago, this fleet has not been upgraded, it is still the original equipment, and the lesson taught to them in the naval battle more than ten years ago is that fighter planes and missiles flying at ultra-low altitude and sea skimming will give They pose a great threat.

What now?Now if they face the threat of the more powerful Orientals, can they remain intact?

"That's okay. We have the intelligence support of the US reconnaissance satellites. We can find the other side's fleet at any time, but the other side can't find us in time. Modern warfare is already information-based." Brown said: "Don't be afraid, we don't have There is no need to worry, and we also have professional early warning helicopters."

On the deck, a Sea King-MK2 early warning aircraft is taking off. There is a large bucket hanging on the side of the helicopter, which looks very strange.

"Unfortunately, this early warning helicopter was in service in 85. If we can catch up with the naval battle in 82, we will never have the tragedy of the Shelfield." Brown continued.

He is very satisfied with this early warning helicopter.

"Report, I just received the news that the Easterners announced that they will conduct military exercises in the southern waters. They have designated a large area as the exercise sea area, and all ships are prohibited from passing through." At this moment, the adjutant came over with a telegram.

"Exercises in the sea area? Huh, just like last year, they just know how to conduct exercises. What else can they do? Like last year, use ballistic missiles to hit moving targets in the sea? If they dare to use ballistic missiles in actual combat, it means The beginning of nuclear war!"

Ballistic missiles hit aircraft carriers using conventional warheads, but there is currently no air defense system in the world that can intercept them. Therefore, after the Dongfang exercise last year, the Americans publicly declared that if such missiles are found to be used in actual combat, then They will respond with nukes unceremoniously!

Regardless of whether you are a nuclear bomb or not, in short, we can't prevent it, so we have to modify the rules of the game!

"Will they play new tricks?" Rupert was still a little worried.

"What new tricks can they have? If their warship with four-sided phased array radar enters service, they may be able to conduct some air defense exercises. Now, that warship is still too early to enter service! In this year, the Eastern fleet has hardly changed! "Brown didn't care at all.

Rupert has nothing to say. In fact, if we only consider the comparison of fleets, the Orientals can defeat them by deploying their fleets now, because the 001 aircraft carrier in the East is far more powerful than them!
However, the commander is still so blindly confident, what can he do?Do your best.

"What is the size of their fleet? What are the specific warships?" Rupert asked.

"From the perspective of the size of the formation, they only mobilized two 051Cs as the main force of regional air defense this time, and the rest are four 054 frigates. The last time 136, 137 and 138, the three Russian warships did not join. Formation." The intelligence officer continued to report.

Last year, the navies of the eastern powers almost entered and exited as the main force, and the three Russian warships also existed as the main force.

But now?These three warships have lost track, what does this mean?
"They didn't take us seriously." Rupert said.

If it is a formation composed of Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and Aegis warships, then the Orientals have to take it seriously, now?Just two light aircraft carriers and an old-fashioned destroyer, the Orientals don't pay much attention to them at all.

"Of course not, Rupert, where did you think?" Brown smiled and shook his head: "There are many reasons why they left those three warships, for example, the command and combat system on the three Russian warships, and the Eastern People's original systems are not compatible. For another example, the three warships have to deal with possible unexpected situations in the east, so of course they will not continue to come here. In short, there are only two 051Cs as the main force of air defense, and their air defense systems must be full of loopholes. Nothing to be afraid of at all."

Rupert frowned, always feeling that something was wrong. The Orientals would never be too big. Now they don't have the main force, not because they don't have the strength, but because they think it is unnecessary!
The 051C destroyer uses a single-sided phased array radar scanning method. The two destroyers absolutely cannot cover the 360-degree airspace, but they don't care. This is because the 001 aircraft carrier already has a four-sided phased array radar!

This four-sided phased array radar is definitely not a decoration!

The 001 aircraft carrier is originally taller than other warships, and the location of the ship island is higher, so the area that the four-sided phased array radar can cover is wider than other warship radars!
The loopholes that the 051C could not scan in all directions were blocked by the 001 aircraft carrier.

At this time, the fleet was sailing south in formation, sitting on the island, and Wu Shengli was personally commanding it!
Since Wu Shengli followed, Qin Tao naturally did his part and stayed by Wu Shengli's side. He pretended to be the representative of the shipyard and supervised the quality of the warship. In fact, of course, he also wanted to join in the fun. It would be a pity if the actions of the human heart were just a bystander.

Anyway, the island of the 001 aircraft carrier is large, and there are a lot of empty rooms inside.

Looking at the blue sea, blue sky, and huge fleet, Qin Tao's heart was also surging.

"Our carrier-based air wing is flying over." Hearing the roar in the distance, Li Yan said: "Now, get ready for the landing of the carrier-based air wing!"

According to the practice of dispatching aircraft carriers, the carrier-based aircraft will catch up after going out to sea and land on the aircraft carrier at the same time.

Since the J-[-] encountered a fault and was grounded some time ago, there was no chance to land directly on the aircraft carrier, and now it is finally long overdue.

Qin Tao raised his head, looked at the dark sky in the distance, and said, "Looking at the scale, there are probably twenty of them, right?"

Last year, the number of J-[-] was not enough, so some models had to be used to pretend, but now, the number of this fighter is also increasing!
"Currently there are 24 fighters. After the last six fighters are produced, our carrier-based aircraft wing will be able to gather the size of [-] carrier-based aircraft." Li Yan said.

During the outfitting period of the aircraft carrier, Li Yan continued to stay at the base of Huangdi Village to train the personnel. He waited until the sea trial, and then rushed over with a full team. Now, Li Yan is also looking forward to the matching of this batch of carrier-based functions with the aircraft carrier. Let the aircraft carrier have a more complete combat capability.

The ship island has a wide view, and you can clearly see the fighter plane landing. The first one to land is still 1501, but I don’t know who is driving the fighter plane inside. Is it the mad dog Delano, or the sea and air hero Wang Wei?

Strow ran to the position where the ship was guided. These consultants from the United States did not want to stay in Huangdi Village. After all, they are also used to floating on the sea, and they are not used to it on land, so let them follow along. After completing this mission, it is estimated that they will be allowed to become Eastern nationalities, and these people will have no problems.

Soon, 1501 landed steadily. After the plane stopped, a white tractor drove up. When he saw the milky white tractor, Qin Tao was also taken aback: "This tractor Has the car been built?"

"Yes, after we issued the research and development task, we adopted the bidding method. Soon, Guangtai Company came up with qualified products. At present, we have four special tractors on our aircraft carrier, which will greatly improve the quality of our aircraft carrier. The operational efficiency of the deck." Li Yan said.

Last time, because there was no professional tractor, the plane was pushed into place by people. This time it is different. There is already a professional plane tractor!

It has a low shape and can be drilled under the wing. It is small and flexible, which is convenient for dispatching on the aircraft carrier!
Originally, Qin Tao also said that if the relevant domestic departments are not strong enough, Golden Sun Company can undertake this task. However, it seems that it is still redundant now. It's too busy, and Ma Ming's most important task is to develop electromagnetic ejection and integrated electric power. He really can't spare too many hands.

"It's a pity that it's a tow bar. It will be more useful when we continue to develop it in the future and make it without a tow bar." Seeing the white tractor below slowly pulling the plane to the parking area, Qin Tao couldn't help it Live with emotion.

With a tow bar, there is an additional movable joint, and traction is no problem. When pushing, it requires the driver's skills. If there is no tow bar, the tractor directly hugs the nose landing gear of the aircraft, which is more convenient.

"Yes, Guangtai is still researching and trying to come up with more advanced aircraft tractors." Li Yan replied.

The second and third planes kept falling, and the deck became more and more crowded.

"Because we want to show our muscles this time, we plan to put all the carrier-based aircraft on the deck, and also have the ability to dispatch at any time." Li Yan introduced.

"Eighteen, all placed on the deck?" Qin Tao also became interested: "How do you plan to arrange them?"

"Boss Qin, just look at it."

The parking area on the left side of the island was full first, with five J-[-]s with folded wings parked, one was stuffed in front of the island, and then the front and rear elevators were parked one each.

At the stern of the ship, four planes were parked at a slant in the parking area on the right, and one was stuffed into the parking area on the left. If it weren't for the need to continue to recover the carrier-based aircraft, it is estimated that two planes could be parked.

"There are only thirteen carrier-based aircraft, how do you plan to stop the remaining five?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

"The remaining five planes are also very particular." Li Yan said: "We have practiced many times on the simulation platform on the ground, just watch it!"

The fighter planes were still landing one by one, and the next two planes were pulled to the take-off point. Qin Tao understood that the planes could of course be parked there, and after they were parked, they could be dispatched at any time!

This is the advantage of the large deck area, the takeoff and landing do not interfere with each other, Ah San will definitely be very envious if she sees it!
What about the next three?

The personnel on the deck were still dispatching, and the remaining two planes were randomly stuffed behind the take-off point on the right side. Looking at those two positions, Qin Tao couldn't laugh or cry: "You put the planes there, what's the matter with the fighter jets?" Takeoff? Even with the flame deflector, it could burn the plane down."

"Don't worry." Li Yan said.

After the last plane landed, it was directly dragged to the take-off point No. [-], which is the take-off point occupying the landing position of the inclined runway. Now that the last plane has landed, there is no need to consider the issue of recovering the fighter.

The two fighter planes that were randomly stuffed behind the No. [-] and No. [-] take-off points just now were also readjusted, and landed about ten meters behind the No. [-] and No. [-] take-off points.

Wu Shengli nodded with satisfaction after the arrangement was complete: "This arrangement is completely fine. We have five fighter planes that can be released at any time when we need to dispatch them, which is enough to deal with any emergencies. After the fighter planes take off, the runway will be cleared." It came out and can be used for landing without delaying deck work, this layout is very good!"

Although Da Mao has a Kuznetsov on hand, the carrier-based aircraft of that aircraft carrier has just been equipped, and the training has not yet started. Da Mao's deck work is probably not as strong as his own!

The eighteen carrier-based aircraft are all placed on the deck. The advantage of this is that they can be dispatched at any time, which is more convenient than mobilizing from the hangar. Moreover, if necessary, there can be more than a dozen carrier-based aircraft in the hangar!
"Very good, if we put another thirty or forty aircraft in our hangar, we can announce to the public that the 001 aircraft carrier can carry up to sixty carrier-based aircraft!"

"Boss Qin, our hangar is halfway. If we get through the front, it's almost the same." Li Yan was a little embarrassed. The size of the hangar inside was 153 meters * 26.5 meters * 7.2 meters, and it could only accommodate 16 J-15 fighters. , but when the aircraft carrier goes to sea, it is impossible to only match the J-24, and it must also be equipped with a certain number of helicopters. In this way, it is already a very good plan to carry [-] J-[-]s.

At this time, after hearing Li Yan's words, Qin Tao smiled: "But the outside world doesn't know that our hangar is in half! When it's time to blow it, we have to blow it. If others don't know, Ah San will probably be envious .”

Ah San’s Chaoriwang, the wonderful aircraft carrier with the island in the middle, the strange aircraft carrier with the same take-off point and landing point, the number of carrier-based aircraft carried on the deck of this type of aircraft carrier is greatly restricted, even if it is a medium-sized Mi Ge-29K, absolutely cannot place eighteen!
Isn't Ah San always comparing with Dongfang?Let them feel inferior now.

Hearing Qin Tao's words, everyone smiled heartily.

"Actually, the number of carrier-based aircraft is only external. For us, the most important thing is this set of 346 radars and the supporting command and combat system." Li Yan said: "After entering the theater, we will open this set of The radar system can search for all targets within [-] kilometers around. If we find incoming aircraft or missiles, we can assign the targets to frigates and destroyers at any time through the data link for target interception. Even if it is an ultra-low-altitude flight We also have a detection range of [-] kilometers for the incoming target."

The four-sided phased array radar is not a decoration!

This phased array radar system is equivalent to being transplanted from the 052C, and the corresponding combat command system is also transplanted. It can not only search for various targets, but also transmit them to nearby warships through the data link!
If there are a large number of Aegis warships in the fleet, then only one of the warships needs to turn on the radar, and other warships can share data. Now because there is no such thing, the task of data capture is handed over to the 001 aircraft carrier.

The location of the aircraft carrier's island is higher, and the search distance for low-altitude blind spots is also greater. Of course, the data of [-] kilometers is far from enough. (This data was guessed by Huadong Zhixiong, and the real data must be confidential.)
"Our carrier-based early warning helicopter is still under development. When the carrier-based early warning aircraft is assembled, we will be able to better make up for the shortcomings of low-altitude blind spots." Wu Shengli said: "As for this sea operation, there is no need to worry too much. , With the help of the Air Police-2000, we can see the surrounding airspace at a glance even if we don’t turn on the phased array radar. When the early warning aircraft is resting, our maritime security opportunities will take off to help us maintain control of the surrounding airspace. "

This is the benefit of offshore warfare.

An Air Police-2000 cannot fly in the sky all the time. It has to come down and rest. The original maritime security aircraft can take off to help. Anyway, there is an airport in the southern sea area, and it is easy to fly near the formation. This is the home field advantage.

"In the future, our navy will have advanced carrier-based early warning aircraft, so we don't have to be so narrow-minded," Qin Tao said.

Now, the 14 institutes have been doing research day and night, but after all, there are too many projects and their energy is limited, so it is impossible to take care of all of them.Therefore, research on early warning helicopters has been delayed. After the research and development of Air Police-2000 is completed, the technology can be transplanted at any time, and early warning helicopters are also a piece of cake.

The aircraft carrier formation braved the wind and waves, and continued to sail south, and the reconnaissance satellite in space also clearly took pictures of the aircraft carrier. The scene of the fully loaded carrier aircraft immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Two hours later, the photo was in Rupert's hands.

"Eighteen J-[-]s!" Rupert frowned. If it is calculated that each fighter carries four anti-ship missiles, the other party will leave two guarding aircraft carrier formations and one as a backup. One, it can also project more than [-] anti-ship missiles at the same time!

If it is the Nimitz aircraft carrier formation, there are three defensive nets in the distance, the middle and the near, and it may be able to intercept it, but their current small formation is powerless at all!
Besides, this is only on the deck, what about the hangar below?If the same number of carrier-based aircraft is parked in the hangar, it means that the opponent can project hundreds of missiles in one wave!

Can you defend against it?

"Your Excellency Brown, for the sake of safety, it is more appropriate for us to sail in the high seas." Rupert suggested.

What they carry is J-[-], which is one of the most advanced heavy-duty carrier-based fighter jets in the world, with a fully loaded take-off weight of more than [-] tons!What about their aircraft carrier formation?Only light Sea Harriers!The maximum take-off weight is just over ten tons, and the combat radius is hundreds of kilometers. How can it compare with others?

"The high seas? We are here to sail freely, and continue to move forward according to the original plan!" Brown didn't care about this: "Even if their carrier-based aircraft carry a large number? They still don't have early warning aircraft, Our Sea Harriers can send them to the bottom of the ocean with Harpoon anti-ship missiles at any moment!"

After the Falklands War, the Sea Harrier underwent a new round of upgrades. The most obvious changes in appearance were a redesigned nose and a 35-centimeter extension to the rear fuselage to accommodate new avionics.For example, it uses the most advanced "Blue Vixen" pulse Doppler radar to replace the previous single-pulse Blue Fox radar with simple performance. In this way, it can use advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, such as Speaking of the latest AIM-120 in the United States, it can also use the more advanced Harpoon anti-ship missiles in ground or ship attacks.

Brown is so confident, of course, he also has confidence.

At this time, Rupert frowned even more when he heard Brown's words. If they really fought each other, no matter how improved the Sea Harrier was, they would not be the opponent of J-[-]!If one's own side can sneak attack at ultra-low altitude, can't the other side not?

"Report, found the latest photos!" At this moment, an intelligence officer hurried in, more nervous than just discovering the photos of the other party's carrier-based aircraft.

"Let me see what the Dongfang people's hole cards are." Brown took it easily, and when he looked at the photo above, his face was also ugly for a while.

"Damn it! The Davids still handed over this plane to them!"

It must be something big that can annoy Brown!Rupert took the photo and saw that it was an island airport. On the apron of the airport, a plane with a large plate on it was extraordinarily dazzling.

"A-50?" Rupert asked, frowning.

T-shaped vertical tail, four engines, you can infer it just by looking at these appearances.

"No, no, this is not the A-50, this is the Phalcon developed by the Orientals using the Il-76 platform! Its radome is larger than the A-50, you can tell by looking at the ratio." Brown annoyed Said: "The Davids did not stop trading, they still let the Orientals obtain the early warning aircraft technology!"
