Dominate South Asia

On the ocean, the weather conditions are very complex and changeable. It may be clear skies at first, but at the next moment, there may be rough seas.

Among them, the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa is the most popular.

The Cape of Good Hope was not called the Cape of Good Hope in the past, but was called the Cape of Storms. Here there are the warm Mozambique Agulhas Current from the Indian Ocean and the cold Benguela Current from the Antarctic waters. The two ocean currents merge, resulting in a very harsh climate. The strong westerly jet stream creates stormy waves all year round.

In Namibia and Angola in northern South Africa, there are often strong winds and huge waves on their coastlines.

The weather has been relatively good these days. The Soviet captain Nikolayev stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the distant coast with a telescope. He sailed all the way and was finally approaching Angola.

Recently, the situation in Angola has been very pessimistic. With the support of South Africa, UNITA, as if it had taken an aphrodisiac, invaded northward regardless of life and death, losing the support of the air force. The MPLA and the Cuban army fought very hard. In order to prevent the war from As the situation worsened, the Soviet Union had to mobilize a large number of weapons from the country again. His ship was mainly used to transport arms.

In addition to the four dismantled MiG-25s, there are also thirty T-72 main battle tanks. Facts have proved that the T-55 can no longer effectively fight against the South African Horn tanks, and more advanced tanks must be used. There are also anti-aircraft missiles, which are effective equipment to destroy the South African Air Force, as well as a large number of small arms and ammunition.

This is an arms ship, in the name of civilian use, from the Atlantic Ocean to the west coast of Africa.

Looking at the dark sky in the south, Nikolayev was a little anxious. The weather seemed to be getting worse.

"Boom, boom, boom." The clouds in the distance were rolling. At the same time, this muffled thunder sound was still being made.

"Attention, a big storm is coming." Nikolayev shouted to the crew through the loudspeaker.

The power of the tail engine was adjusted to the maximum, the propeller stirred the water flow, and the ship began to accelerate forward.

Dark clouds quickly enveloped the place, and among the lightning and thunder, huge raindrops continued to fall. The huge sea wind set off huge waves several meters high.

"Wow." The bow of the boat plunged into the water, and when it came up again, it was filled with sea water.

Nikolayev tied himself in the cockpit. He knew that the situation at this time was very dangerous and he had to command the entire ship. It was so unlucky that he caught up with such a big storm just one day away from the coastline. !

The storm continued. Everyone felt like the world was spinning and their stomachs were churning, even sailors who had lived at sea since childhood. At this time, I also felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

In the storm, everyone is working hard. They have to protect the ship and pass through the storm area!

In the evening, the storm finally subsided, and everyone on the ship sat on the wet deck and breathed a sigh of relief.

What they don't know is a greater threat. Coming soon.

Just when the storm arrived, Rick had already taken off from the base in his fighter plane and crossed over Namibia. When he arrived in the waters of Angola, the weather had just improved.

Angola's radar network has been destroyed. In order not to expose himself, Rick is still flying at ultra-low altitude. When we arrived a hundred kilometers away from the cargo ship, we pulled up. The radar operator in the back cabin had already turned on the radar and locked onto the cargo ship. All the launch data will be loaded under the mounted Harpoon missile.

In the early stages of F-14 development. There is no sea-to-ship attack capability, but now, the modified Tomcat, APG-71 radar has multiple modes, and the Tomcat has become a fierce attack cat.

There was a flash of fire under the wing, and in the dark sky, Harpoon missiles could be seen flying out.

Anti-ship missiles are fire-and-forget weapons. After launching the Harpoon missile, Rick immediately flew back.

The Harpoon missile's anti-interference ability is very strong, and the hit probability of a single shot exceeds 80%. Now, it is too easy to kill a civilian cargo ship.

The Harpoon missile lowered its altitude and flew at a height of tens of meters above the sea level, trailing a shallow light on its tail. It used a turbojet engine.

Flying continuously forward, when approaching the target area, the altitude dropped to more than ten meters. It was a standard attack warship mode. Finally, the seeker of the Harpoon missile was turned on, and the pre-locked target was instantly captured.

Next, it’s time to attack! According to the set procedure, it did not choose to attack the top, but directly hit the waterline of the opponent's ship.

After fighting the storm for more than two hours, the sailors on the ship were exhausted and it was getting dark. Except for the necessary personnel on duty, the rest had already entered the cabin to rest. They were exhausted and soon began to snore. The sound brought me into a sweet dream.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a huge explosion woke them up. They opened their eyes and found that the hull was tilting rapidly. Then, they suddenly became frightened. In the cabin, if they were knocked down by the ship, If you pull it over, they won't be able to escape. They ran quickly towards the deck, and they were clashing with each other through the narrow hatch. At the critical moment of life and death, no one was willing to give in.

"Boom!" At this moment, there was another violent explosion. In front of their eyes, there were violent flames. With this explosion, the ship suddenly split from the middle and divided into two parts.

The munitions exploded!

The ship was carrying munitions. They were very careful along the way. It seemed that the big storm just now had changed the munitions, and as a result, they exploded!

No one saw the missile flying in. They all thought that the explosion was caused by the munitions they were transporting.

The ship was broken into two pieces. Several sailors looked at the gushing sea water in despair and were swallowed by the sea water. There were also several sailors who went on the deck and jumped into the sea without even taking the lifebuoy.

It was night now, and there were still hundreds of kilometers away from the coastline. Even if they swam over like this, it would be difficult for them to survive.

Nikolayev did not escape. He silently looked at the gradually surging sea water and chose to stay with the ship. He remembered what the military personnel told him when he came here. If there was any problem with the munitions on the way, he would be mainly responsible! Even if he escaped back, he would face interrogation by those guys from the KGB.

Before sinking to the bottom of the water, they didn't even have time to send a distress signal. In the storm just now, the radio antenna of their ship was broken by the waves.

It was an uneasy night. In the second half of the night, the moon rose. The clear moonlight shone on the sea, which was full of oil and some floating debris of ships.

Two beams of light hit the water. A 10,000-ton cargo ship first discovered the sunken ship here and immediately launched a rescue operation. At the same time, it sent out a clear distress signal.

At dawn, a US Navy Aegis destroyer arrived here, and at the same time, a salvage ship of an international rescue organization had also arrived.

The Angolan Navy, which received the news, sent two gunboats to the sea area where the incident occurred. However, when they arrived and saw the US Navy's Aegis destroyer, they could no longer get close.

The Angolan Navy could not confirm that the cargo ship belonged to their country, and now it was a salvage ship of an international rescue organization. They had no reason to expel it. More than a hundred kilometers away, it had long been out of their territorial waters.

So the Angolan Navy could only watch the salvage ship working there, preparing to salvage the sunken ship.

South Africa, Nolos Base.

"Mr. Rick, your plan is so thorough." Dennis, the commander of the South African Air Force, said to Rick: "Last night's attack completely destroyed the cargo ship. The cargo ship was full of weapons shipped to Angola by the Soviet Union. If the Angolan rebel army got it, our soldiers would suffer greater casualties."

"Last night's attack?" Rick looked at Dennis with puzzled eyes: "Sir, Lieutenant General, did we have any attack last night?"

"Yes, no, no." Dennis smiled and said: "The cargo ship sank due to strong winds and waves."

"Sir, we must keep a close watch. It is said that the Cuban Air Force has received a batch of new fighters and should be training at a certain airport. As long as you find their fighters, notify us immediately and we will destroy their fighters." Rick said.

Before the enemy situation is confirmed, Rick's team will not take off. Let the Mirage 3s of South Africa patrol over Angola first. After discovering the enemy aircraft, Rick's fleet will fight against it. Rick is not interested in aimless cruising missions.

"Okay, we will definitely defeat the Cuban Air Force." Dennis said.

"One more thing, at your invitation, we will soon transport two Spey engines, and a company of Leopard 2 tanks will also enter the Angolan battlefield to launch an attack together with your armored forces."

"What good news!" Dennis said.

As long as the performance of the Spey is confirmed, they will revise their Sculptor fighter plan.

The battle in Angola is still going on. The troops of UNITA and Cuba are constantly advancing northward, and they are in high spirits.

The sky is clear, and the Mirage 3 fighters of the South African Air Force are patrolling in the sky.

When the engine cannot meet the performance requirements, it is necessary to start with the aerodynamic layout. Due to France's weakness in engines, they prefer to use the delta-wing aerodynamic layout to improve the performance of the fighter. The Mirage 3 is the product of this thinking.

Relying on this layout, the Mirage 3 can reach Mach 2 in level flight, becoming a typical second-generation aircraft that emphasizes high-altitude and high-speed performance.

At this time, the South African Air Force pilots were vigilantly searching the sky to provide support for their own troops. Suddenly, they found several targets flying at very low altitudes on the ground. (To be continued ~^~)
