Red Soviet Union

The waves beat against the hull of the warship, and the Kyiv, full of 40,000 tons, stood tall in the wind and waves.

On the dark green deck, it also began to get busy gradually, and a helicopter rose from the deck.

This helicopter has a large body and a short tail. Compared with ordinary helicopters, the unique feature of this aircraft is that it has no tail! Instead, the tail is the rudder like a fixed-wing aircraft! In order to balance the reaction force of the rotor, the top of this helicopter is not a huge propeller, but two propellers, which counteract the torque of the propeller by coaxial reversal.

This is the masterpiece of the Kamov Design Bureau, the Ka-25 carrier-based helicopter codenamed Hormone in the West, which is also the main helicopter of the Soviet carrier-based aviation force.

Compared with other helicopters, this Ka-25 has a huge bulge under the front end of the nose. As long as you have a little common sense, you will know that it is equipped with huge radar equipment!

This is the Ka-25b electronic warfare type! The main function of this helicopter is to launch missiles for ships to intercept targets. Including the launch of SS-N-3 missiles from the cruiser Kresta, the launch of the SS-N-12 from the cruiser Kyiv and the later combat cruisers Kirov and Frunze Fire ss-n-19 missiles and more.

As a practitioner of the omnipotence theory of missiles, the Soviet Union has developed a series of missiles, and in order to deal with the maritime threat of the Americans, the Soviet Union's anti-ship missiles have a wide variety of models and are crazy, such as the ss-n-12 Basalt heavy long-range anti-ship missiles. The ship missile is 11.7 meters long, weighs 4.8 tons, has a diameter of 880 mm, a wingspan of 2.6 meters, a flight speed of Mach 2.5, a maximum range of 550 kilometers, and a warhead of 1 ton of conventional explosives or 350,000 tons of nuclear explosives. The projectile is made of titanium alloy, and the power plant is a liquid rocket ramjet and two external solid rocket boosters. The US aircraft carrier, as long as it is hit by one, will definitely sink into the sea.

Due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, it is almost beyond 80 kilometers, which is already the limit for the ship-based radar to detect surface ships. For longer distances, other methods are needed. Therefore, many of these long-range anti-ship missiles of the Soviet Union need Relay guidance, helicopter is the most common way.

This Ka-25b helicopter is specially developed to guide anti-ship missiles. In addition to a large radar radome with a spherical lower surface mounted under the nose, a cylindrical radar is installed under the rear of the cabin. radome. There are also complete data transmission equipment.

This is also what Andre criticized. Your anti-ship missiles are powerful, but you need helicopter guidance. In front of the American aircraft carrier, in front of a powerful carrier aircraft, your guided helicopter cannot take off normally at all. It is very easy was knocked out.

It is necessary to develop the same aircraft carrier formation as the West!

Flight control center,

Flight control center, No. 003 has taken off, No. 003 has taken off. ' reported the crew on deck.

003, 003, pay attention to the search for the No. 16 sea area, pay attention to the search for the No. 16 sea area. On the bridge, the guiding personnel called to the helicopter.

Just an hour ago, a Soviet reconnaissance satellite discovered the American aircraft carrier formation. The Americans actually circled and sailed eastward for another 300 nautical miles!

This is even better. The American aircraft carrier formation will not be protected by land-based carrier aircraft!

At the same time, in order to search for the American aircraft carrier formation, the carrier-based helicopters carried by the warships also began to take off.

In the vast sea, it is not easy to search for an aircraft carrier formation. Moreover, the Soviet Union does not have a powerful carrier-based early warning aircraft and can only rely on carrier-based helicopters. In later generations, the Soviet Union developed a professional Ka-31 early warning aircraft just to make up for the lack of ships Defects of the early warning aircraft.

Now, we can only temporarily rely on the Ka-25b. Since this helicopter is originally designed to guide anti-ship missiles, it has a powerful sea search radar and can operate within a range of 200 kilometers away from the fleet. At the same time, aircraft carrier formations at a distance of about 300 kilometers can also be found. After all, aircraft carriers are huge. To find such large targets as aircraft carriers, sea search radars can be found at a long distance.

The pilot, Captain Kulikov, drove the helicopter. After leaving the aircraft carrier, he flew to the east. The most likely area of ​​activity for the American aircraft carrier is Sea Area 16!

The endless sea, clear blue, the glass of the cockpit is open, breathing the familiar smell of the sea breeze, Captain Kulikov is also emotional.

As an excellent carrier-based aircraft pilot, Kulikov has more than ten years of service experience. At first, when taking off and landing from the narrow stern flight deck, he required superb flying skills. Now, he can fly in the wide Taking off and landing on the flight deck is very happy. At the same time, Kulikov is also witnessing the continuous strength of the Red Navy.

In the middle of the fuselage, on a console, the radar operator is watching the radar screen nervously.

Time passed little by little, and on the nearby sea, nothing was found, not even a fishing boat!

Continue to fly forward! Unconsciously, he has already flown to the sea area 300 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier. As a helicopter with a maximum range of only 650 kilometers, the current flight is already the limit.

Prepare to return, said the captain.

Target found! At this moment, the radar operator behind suddenly shouted: In sea area 17, bearing 050, 300 kilometers away from us!

The American aircraft carrier formation actually sailed farther to the 17th sea area! It's like an ambush at sea! Fortunately, we found their traces!

Calibrate the chart, we will return immediately! the captain said, the fuel in the plane is only supported until the aircraft carrier has just returned, and it cannot be delayed any longer.

In addition to reporting to the mothership in the radio, it is also very important to calibrate the chart.

At this moment, suddenly, a sharp alarm sound came from the earphone.

Damn, we're being targeted by American planes! Kulikov cursed as he quickly lowered the helicopter's altitude.

In order to search for the American aircraft carrier formation at a long distance, our own helicopters have to be elevated. Therefore, when our own side finds the American aircraft carrier formation, the American aircraft carrier formation will also find our own helicopter at the same time!

The Ka-25 is equipped with a sea search radar and does not have the ability to search for the air. Therefore, it does not have the ability to detect aircraft in the air. Now, until the sound of the radar warning receiver is heard, the personnel on board find that they are in danger. middle.
