Red Soviet Union

The arrival of this battle group, in addition to greatly increasing its strike force, also brought new aircraft and pilots! In the last battle, the American aircraft carrier lost more than a dozen A-7 attack aircraft, and before the Carl Vinson set off, ten A-7 attack aircraft flew from the US Naval Air Force Base and landed on the Carl Vinson. On the Vinson, when the two sides approach, these planes will take off and fly to the USS America.

Although the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier is also fully loaded, there is still room on the deck.

On TV, it can be seen that every time an American aircraft carrier is dispatched, the carrier-based aircraft are full, as if the Americans are deliberately showing off their force. In fact, this is a last resort for the Americans, because their hangars below the deck Can't fit!

For example, regarding the number of aircraft that the Nimitz class can carry, some say seventy, some say eighty, and some say one hundred. The aircraft carrier has only one floor of hangar below, with an area of ​​208*33 square meters. Even if the United States eliminates the Tomcats in later generations, only bugs are left, and only 36 aircraft can be packed in at most. When it is full, it will be troublesome to schedule.

Now, the American Tomcat is still in service. This kind of aircraft takes up more space. It usually loads 26 aircraft, two helicopters, and four lifeboats. The rest are all placed on the deck.

The rest of the planes are placed on the deck and entered the hangar. They are mainly fighters for maintenance. American fighters are used to storing them in the open air on the aircraft carrier.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if there are more planes, it just takes up more space on the deck. For example, the bow deck can be filled with fighter planes, and a hundred fighter planes can be loaded on it. When it takes off, only the angled deck will be left. The catapult is gone.

Now, the Carl Vinson is in this state, helping the United States to send new A-7 attack aircraft and pilots to supplement their losses. This makes the deck of the Carl Vinson very full. Receive this batch of fighter planes earlier, so that the Carl Vinson can vacate its deck, adjust its status, and prepare to enter the combat state, and wash away the shame!

The route to the north needs to pass hundreds of kilometers away from the oil platforms of the Argentines. To be on the safe side, during the daytime today, a cruiser that went north first sent a helicopter to search here, and found nothing abnormal.

So far, the Soviet Navy has not joined the war, but some Soviet weapons must have reached the hands of the Argentine army! If the Soviet Union takes out those big killers, the US aircraft carrier formation will still be in danger!

During the day, the helicopters come to these oil companies to search to see if supersonic anti-ship missiles are deployed. Those big guys with a range of 500 kilometers are the nightmare of the US Navy.

Fortunately, those are ordinary oil platforms, and some have already produced oil! This makes the US high-level even more anxious, this battle must end as soon as possible!

Although a little worried, it's not too much to mobilize the teachers! Take off the early warning aircraft at every turn, the precious e-2 must be kept in good condition and saved for the next offensive operation. Moreover, it is night now! Even if the Soviets have reconnaissance satellites with synthetic apertures, it is not easy to find their own maritime formations!

So, don't be too nervous, take off two carrier-based aircraft, and the air patrol is enough!

The huge battleship is cruising on the sea. On the deck, lights are shining, and in the distance, the navigation lights are shining. It is the return of two cruising Tomcat fighters!

Take off and land at night with the most experienced pilots! Even on the USS America, only half of the Tomcat fighter pilots are qualified to take off and land at night. Now, the two attacking planes are obviously flown by the most experienced pilots. , It was done in one go! With a dashing glide line, the wheels touch the deck,

Hooked the first blocking wire, and stopped like this!

And on the bow deck, two Tomcat fighters of the second wave were also ejected into the air, white steam flew over, and these two Tomcat fighters flew away from the aircraft carrier deck within a few seconds.

Inside the tall bridge, the captain, Colonel Harold, had already fallen asleep in his room. He slept peacefully. This was a normal night!

On the surface of the sea, the huge roar will spread far away, but on the vast sea, no matter how far away it is, it is nothing.

At a height of only five meters above the sea, Pigeon No. 1 was flying steadily.

As the driver, George Colombo, who was holding the joystick, felt the sweat dripping from his palm.

After receiving the order to set off, he operated the ground-effect aircraft, taxied, took off, and flew at the maximum cruising speed at a height of five meters above the sea.

This first flight training is about to go out! While he was nervous, he was also proud in his heart! Although this thing drives like an airplane, its attack power is definitely like a warship! The six supersonic anti-ship missiles on the top are sharp weapons for attacking aircraft carriers!

At the same time, other people are not idle. As the captain of this aircraft, Marchestan needs to plan the attack as a whole!

The six anti-ship missiles on the top have all completed self-inspection, and the six missiles are in good condition. Now, the most important thing is to find the American aircraft carrier formation!

How to find it? Before departure, the information obtained from the oil platform was only a guess about the approximate position of the American aircraft carrier formation! The last time the British aircraft carrier formation was attacked, because the British did not have early warning aircraft and could effectively control the limited area of ​​the sea, so the Soviet Navy’s aircraft carrier formation was hundreds of kilometers away. They monitored the British navy through early warning aircraft and directly notified the Argentine side. Target information is very accurate.

But now, in the face of the US aircraft carrier formation, the Soviet aircraft carrier formation has been temporarily shielded, and the search for the American aircraft carrier formation can only rely on its own side!

How to rely on? It is the upper part of the vertical tail of the aircraft, the ball-like thing, and the radar equipped in it! This is the mineral-me radar system used in conjunction with the Sunburn anti-ship missile, and the western code name is Music Station!

The radars equipped on general warships will not search the sea for more than 50 kilometers, while the anti-ship missiles on warships have a range of hundreds of kilometers. For example, Huaxia's c801 uses a rocket engine, which is the same as the flying fish missile, with a range of tens of kilometers. For the c-802, the turbojet engine is used, and the range has been increased to hundreds of kilometers. However, the radar of the warship will not increase the distance accordingly. The earth is round, and the curvature determines the distance, which cannot be changed.

Therefore, if the c-802 is launched, the warship needs to take off the ship-borne helicopter to provide relay guidance for the missile.

The Exocet missile is also this scheme, and the Harpoon missile is also this scheme. However, the missiles of the Soviet Navy did not adopt this scheme because they have over-the-horizon radars!
