Red Soviet Union

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 from the Suez Canal.

Here, it is already under the control of the Soviets. Although the lingering Saudi royal government on the east coast of the Red Sea is still trying its best to maintain their rule, their repeated defeats have long since made them lose their fighting spirit.

Even so, the Indian Ocean Fleet is fully prepared. After all, a few hours ago, the Black Sea Fleet encountered an attack by a stealth aircraft carrying a nuclear bomb. Although the interception was successful in the end, people were still in a cold sweat. , also get ready!

The meter wave radar is fully activated, and the sky is filled with a large number of radar signals. The carrier-based Yak-44 early warning aircraft and two Su-33 carrier-based aircraft are flying around 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 make Israel completely a turtle in a urn!

Blocking Israel, and more importantly, cutting off support from other Western countries to Israel! No ship is allowed to dock in Israel's ports! No blood transfusions to Israel!

Including civil aviation flights, are not allowed to fly into Israel's airspace! Including any fighter plane, anyone who flies over will be shot down!

The biggest resistance to our own blockade in the Mediterranean is still the United States! After receiving 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 confronted the U.S. Navy. At that time, in order to avoid conflicts and to avoid exposing its target, the Soviet Union had been near the Antarctic under the command of Marshal Andrei!

But now, it's different! If the U.S. Navy dares to come, then our own side dares to meet and kill the opponent!

Standing in his room, through the porthole, Victor looked at the warship in front of his side, the giant second only to the Soviet Union, the Project 1144 Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser Frunze, which was almost always on the ground. Sail with the Soviet Union, and use its powerful firepower to escort the Soviet Union!

The Kirov class is a masterpiece of the Soviet Navy. The entire warship is equipped with more than 500 missiles, which are the most powerful attack weapons! This super nuclear-powered giant with a displacement of more than 25,000 tons is simply an arsenal ship!

After returning from a mission in the South African waters last time, the Kirov class also entered the dock. While undergoing 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 missiles were replaced with the latest Rif-m long-range air defense missiles, which are improved from the land-based S-300. , with a maximum range of 150 kilometers! Be 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 also newly commissioned a special air defense destroyer, code-named Dreadnought 4.

Originally, the Soviets did not have special air defense 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 kill the enemy, you will be protected at the same time.

Afterwards, under Andrei's suggestion, the Soviet Red Navy changed its thinking and built a special air defense destroyer Dreadnought 3 on the basis of the Dreadnought 2, which is similar to the American Aegis system. Radar and vertically launched air defense missiles give this kind of warship a strong air defense capability.

After it was built, it was very popular with the Red Navy. While Dreadnought 3 continued to be manufactured, the modified Dreadnought 4 was also proposed.

The displacement of Dreadnought 3 is only 8,000 tons.

The potential of the hull has been tapped out. If you want to better undertake the air defense mission, 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 with the latest active phased array radar, which has led to a soaring construction cost.

Meanwhile, the biggest change, is the launch unit!

The previous launching units were revolver-style, a group of launching units had only one launch port, and the missiles had to be rotated to pass, but now, each 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 Soviet Union has developed a large number of anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles. The shapes of various missiles are different, and the launch devices are not interchangeable, and each uses its own.

At the same time, the American Aegis warships have begun to realize modularization, which can be loaded with various missiles, which is quite convenient, and this Dreadnought 4, based on this thinking, has also been improved, and finally achieved the same purpose.

This kind of silo is no longer a revolver type, and it is very similar to the vertical launch device in the United States. Moreover, it uses thermal launch technology and designs a complex flue system.

It can launch large-scale Rif-m air defense missiles, or it can launch four bombs in one hole, and launch medium and short-range air defense missiles. After matching, the Sam-11 can be plugged in!

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, it is a cruise missile!

In the Soviet 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. After the ballistic missile is launched, it leaves the atmosphere and conducts a ballistic flight. With a speed of up to Mach 10, the opponent cannot intercept it.

After the cruise missile is launched, it flies at an ultra-low altitude like an airplane, relying on this method to avoid detection. Compared with the two, cruise missiles are more concealed!

In fact, the large number of Soviet anti-ship missiles can also be attributed to the sequence of cruise missiles in essence.

Now, more than 20 cruise missiles are mixed in the 132 launch units of Dreadnought 4, 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 that of a Tomahawk, so it is also called Tomahawk.

The size of this missile is also very similar to that of the Rif-m missile, except that it is shorter in length, so it just fits into the general-purpose silo! Moreover, it is loaded with the latest model. The biggest feature of this model is that it has been improved in stealth!
