Red Soviet Union

The next step is to taxi on the sea surface, and then take off, just like the takeoff of an airplane, but this way is more stable and much less dangerous.

Just as Colombo pushed the accelerator and was about to take off, a message from Cruise suddenly came from the headset: Stop taking off, stop taking off! Come back!

what happened?

Cruise was very anxious, and he didn't expect that the situation in the open sea today would suddenly become complicated!

When his own ground-effect aircraft was preparing for the test flight, Cruise also turned on the radar on the oil platform. It is night now, so there is no need to worry about satellite detection, but you still have to guard against the aircraft overhead, especially in case there are The American early warning aircraft will definitely be alert when they find a fast-moving target on the sea surface of their own side!

The ground-effect aircraft has no stealth ability, flying close to the sea, it is easy to be regarded by the Americans as a prelude to their own attack, so the Americans will definitely send fighter planes to intercept it! The precious ground-effect aircraft cannot be destroyed like this!

Therefore, Cruise immediately issued an order to ask his own ground effect to fly to Qi and return. At the same time, his eyes continued to look at the radar screen and the bright spots that appeared on the screen.

Altitude 3,000, speed 800, these are two fast fighter jets! According to the radar echo, it looks very much like a Tomcat fighter! However, if it is really a Tomcat, it means that the US aircraft carrier must also be within 500 kilometers of its own oil platform!

This opportunity is really rare! Thinking of this, Cruise was already a little nervous.

It is not that simple to attack the US aircraft carrier. One of the most important points is discovery! Although the aircraft carrier formation is huge, when sailing at sea, it is like finding a needle in a haystack. Until now, the Soviet Navy aircraft carrier formation has not been discovered by the Americans. It is a living example!

During the day, you can also rely on reconnaissance satellites to search in the sea area where the opponent is expected to appear. This is indeed what our own side did. The previous attacks on the British aircraft carrier formation were like this.

However, ground-effect aircraft cannot attack during the daytime, it is too dangerous! The daytime is also the time when Americans are most vigilant, so ground-effect aircraft may not be able to fly within a distance of 100 kilometers of the opponent!

For the Soviet Union, this is not a problem. The Soviet Union tailor-made the nemesis for the American aircraft carrier. They are all big guys with a range of more than 500 kilometers. Even if they launch during the day, they don’t have to worry about the Americans’ counterattack. of.

However, it is impossible for the Soviet Union to export that kind of big killer, this kind of sun-burned missile with a range of 100 kilometers,

It is necessary to let the carrier aircraft take great risks. In order to complete the mission, it must be attacked at night!

Attacking at night, needless to say, finding the target is a big problem!

Of course, if one's own aircraft carrier formation is present, a carrier-based early warning aircraft can be launched to search for the US aircraft carrier formation and indicate the target, which is also a solution. However, it is best for the Argentine Navy to complete such a major event as sinking an American aircraft carrier independently.

Fighting an aircraft carrier is a systematic project. Facing the threat of the US aircraft carrier formation, the Soviet Union has been studying how to fight an aircraft carrier. It is a combination of shore-based bombers, warships, submarines, and satellites in the sky. Now, Argentina only wants to rely on One can imagine how difficult it is to fight an aircraft carrier with two ground-effect aircraft!

All questions have returned to the starting point, how to discover the American aircraft carrier?

In later generations, Huaxia has been developing anti-ship ballistic missiles. Once this kind of missile is launched, it cannot be intercepted. It is a big problem to accurately determine their position, so Huaxia will launch marine reconnaissance satellites to continuously improve the ability to detect aircraft carrier formations.

And now, it is a good opportunity, because the Americans are here!

Due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, the radar currently deployed on the offshore platform can detect the air at a distance of 200 kilometers, but the sea detection is only a few tens of kilometers. Without the support of other parties, the position of the American aircraft carrier Judgment requires skill.

This technique is to analyze the flight orientation of American fighter planes! In later generations, in the real Falklands War, when the old maritime reconnaissance planes of the Argentine Navy were retired, the Argentines could only rely on ground radars, which was how they searched.

Now, the ground radar is constantly searching and tracking the two Tomcat fighters in the distance. At this time, the other party is not completely close to the oil platform of our side, but just brushes the edge and flies over.

Time passed little by little, and just an hour later, these two goals reappeared.

This shows what? This is a routine cruise of the US Navy! Their planes are cruising on a radius of hundreds of kilometers around the aircraft carrier!

Like Soviet aircraft carriers, carrier-based early warning aircraft cannot be dispatched every moment. Although each aircraft carrier has four early warning aircraft, as long as they are not in a formal combat state, they will not frequently take off early warning aircraft. The defense of the aircraft carrier formation is to Rely on ordinary carrier-based aircraft to achieve! Although the Tomcat fighter is a carrier-based fighter, its powerful radar and sea-scanning method are also very powerful, which can completely play an early warning role.

This is their routine cruise! This also shows that the aircraft carrier formation of the US Navy should be in the center of the circle with a radius of 500 kilometers patrolled by these two fighter planes! Of course, it's also possible to be closer!

This is a great opportunity! The opponent is a two-aircraft formation. It takes an hour to go around in a circle. After the two planes fly away, your own ground-effect aircraft will have enough time to set off to attack the American aircraft carrier formation. !

The opportunity is so rare! Cruise connected to the satellite phone on his side, picked it up, and said to it: I'm looking for General Andre, and I request a tentative attack!

………

On the vast sea, the waves are magnificent. Even at night, the waves still don't stop, and they continue to beat the ship's side. In the waves, warships are sailing at high speed.

It has been ten days since they came here! Except for losing a battle on the first day, they have been silent for the past few days, sailing quietly on the sea. Everyone knows that this is the most difficult time. They are waiting, waiting for the order from the White House, and waiting for the arrival of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group.

And now, it's finally here! They turned around and continued sailing northward, and they should be able to join the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group at noon tomorrow! (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for or enter the URL:
