Red Soviet Union

On the sea, the Soviet Pacific Fleet once again had a blast.

A Kiev-class aircraft carrier Minsk with two knives and more than 20 carrier-based aircraft actually stunned the two American aircraft carrier battle groups!

In fact, the Minsk can be regarded as a fake tiger, and it is the Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser beside the Minsk that really bluffs the Americans!

In the battle in the Mediterranean Sea, the two aircraft carrier formations of the United States were unable to cope with the saturation attack of the Soviet Union. What is even more frightening is that the range of the Soviet anti-ship missiles far exceeded the expectations of the Americans!

It was expected that more than 500 kilometers would be against the sky. Who knows, in actual combat, they have a range of 700 kilometers. God knows how far the Soviet missiles can hit!

Therefore, the US aircraft carrier formation can only extend the distance to 800 kilometers! This is almost the attack limit of the US aircraft carrier battle group! At the same time, it is only equivalent to wandering around the sea near the continental United States!

US Admiral Frank, standing on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Saratoga, looked at the sailors on the deck, who were nervously dispatching, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Due to the sluggish economy of the United States, the appropriation of the U.S. Navy is also constantly decreasing. The United States has to reduce the daily training expenditure. Therefore, the sailors of this aircraft carrier have hardly gone to sea for training in the past year. At the same time, The number of training hours for carrier-based pilots is also woefully inadequate.

The US aircraft carrier has already lost several ships, which never happened in World War II! The current aircraft carrier is not the latest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but a conventional Forrest-class aircraft carrier with a displacement of only 80,000 tons after modification.

This aircraft carrier was launched in Brooklyn, New York in 1955. After that, it participated in many military operations, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s, the Six-Day War between Israel and Arab countries, the Vietnam War and so on.

It's just that now, it already looks a little old, especially after being moored in the port for nearly a year, the deck is even a little rusty!

How can such a navy have a close contest with the Soviets!

The No. 1 catapult is faulty. There were constant voices coming from the bridge, and the captain was in a hurry at this time. The aircraft carrier was not well maintained during the berthing period, which caused many problems, even the catapult. Cylinders are often out of order.

Use the No. 4 catapult to eject. Note that we are not practicing now. We are in a war. We must ensure that enough fighters stay in the air and have enough dispatch capabilities!

What a joke! Now the carrier-based aircraft on the US aircraft carrier can only use Harpoon missiles, and it is impossible to shoot outside the firepower circle of the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, but the Soviets can calmly destroy their own side!

A certain number of fighter jets left in the air is necessary. After all, what they have to face is not just a Minsk aircraft carrier battle group. The Soviet Union has a large number of Tu-22m bombers in the Far East. Ship missiles!

The scene of overwhelming anti-ship missiles shooting over is fascinating to think about.

At this moment, suddenly, a voice on the bridge became more anxious: Fighter 244, fighter 244, go around immediately, go around immediately!

From the porthole here, it can be clearly seen that a Tomcat fighter is preparing to land, and at this time, at the front end of the angled deck, an F-18 fighter is preparing to catapult and take off!

Just now, it was supposed to be ejected from No. 1 catapult, but No. 1 catapult failed, so it could only be transferred to No. 4. No. 2 has been under pressure, so it has not been repaired.

And No. 4 catapult is on the inclined deck!

The front has to take off, and the rear cannot land, otherwise, if it fails to land successfully, it will definitely hit the front!

It's all a deck scheduling problem!

In later generations, Huaxia's Liaoning is an experimental aircraft carrier. The number of carrier-based aircraft is increasing from small to large. This is a test of deck scheduling capabilities.

Don't look at Ah San's aircraft carrier, Ah San has decades of experience in operating aircraft carriers, and his dispatching ability is pretty good.

But now, something went wrong in the middle of a busy schedule, and number 244 is about to land!

No. 244 has to land, the fuel has run out, and we can't support a go-around! At this moment, No. 244's answer also made the bridge speechless for a while.

How was it scheduled? No. 244 was the first batch to be ejected, and as a result, the time left blank was also the longest!

Schedule, schedule! Only a year has passed! All the sailors on this aircraft carrier are no longer used to life at sea!

I'll hook the arresting wire, the pilot said over the radio.

At this time, the engine at the tail of the No. 244 fighter jet has begun to flame out! It could turn off at any moment!

The only option is to take a risky landing!

The initial glide line was quite correct, but when it was about to touch the aircraft carrier, suddenly, an engine had turned off!

In an instant, the fighter jet turned to the left! The two engines of the Tomcat fighter are far apart, so that after one is turned off, the other can easily cause yaw!

But in this split second, it was already too late! The attitude of this Tomcat fighter plane was wrong. Although the yaw was corrected in time, the angle of attack of the plane was too large!

As a result, the tail of the plane touched the deck first, sparks were sparked, and then the plane reversed to the side and rushed into the parking area on the right!

Quick, damage control, damage control! A panicked voice yelled over the radio. There were more than a dozen planes in the parking area, all of which were filled with fuel and mounted missiles!

Boom! With the sound of a huge explosion, a big hole has been blasted into the parking area!

Is this still the U.S. Navy that won World War II and commanded the entire ocean? There is no need to fight, and even an ordinary daily combat training can't be maintained!

Admiral Frank looked at the busy subordinates on the bridge, and he was angry and helpless in his heart. In fact, when the USS America was sunk, the sea power of the United States had already shown its incomparable fragility, and the sinking of two aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean further demonstrated the disadvantages of the US aircraft carriers. They did not fight back in the face of saturation attacks Power.

But now, without attacking, I will have this kind of problem!

Report, urgent telegram from the White House, Alaska, surrendered to the Soviet Union! At this moment, an adjutant brought the telegram just received.

Alaska is beyond hope! After the US troops retreated, the governor fled, and the lieutenant governor, representing the entire state of Alaska, surrendered to the Soviet Union!
