Dominate South Asia

Originally, Rick belonged to the Air Force, and at the same time, he was also the best at flying Tomcat fighters. He had shot down enough enemy planes for two aces. Now, with the end of Pakistan's land war, Pakistan's future threats will come from the sea. Therefore, after careful consideration and with his father's consent, Rick transferred to Hainan Airlines and became a carrier-based aircraft pilot. , and at the same time, in order to protect Rick and fulfill his promise to his wife, with the intervention of old Arslan, Rick became the captain of the flying wing. He was mainly responsible for formulating tactics and rarely flew fighter planes.

With Rick's qualifications, he is enough to command the carrier-based aircraft on the entire aircraft carrier. After entering Hainan Airlines, Rick studied tirelessly and became familiar with various tactics of carrier-based aircraft at sea.

This time, we accompanied the Indomitable to the eastern waters of the Gulf. This was the first appearance of the Indomitable, and there were also Russian counterparts present, so we must show our advantages!

On the sea in the distance, there are magnificent waves, and the warships of the Pacific Fleet flying the Russian tricolor flag are also sailing.

"The aircraft carriers of the Soviet era still have Soviet ideas." Rick said: "Their aircraft carrier is more like a large cruiser with full functions."

From the bridge here, you can see the Minsk riding the wind and waves. From the front part of the ship, it looks exactly like a cruiser, especially the giant anti-ship missile on the front deck, which is SS-N- 19. A supersonic anti-ship missile specially tailored for US aircraft carriers.

Similarly, the opponent's bridge is also very wide, almost occupying the middle of the right side of the deck, so that only the left and rear spaces are left with a straight deck.

This layout. As a result, it is impossible for this kind of aircraft carrier to take off and land conventional fighter jets, and can only take off and land vertical take-off and landing fighter jets. In order to support the Kiev-class aircraft carriers, the Soviets developed the Yak-38, a very special vertical take-off and landing fighter jet.

However, this kind of fighter is simply worthless than the Harrier. After all, the Harrier is equipped with the British and American armies, and is purchased by other countries, and this Yak-38. Almost from the beginning of boarding the ship, there were constant problems. Since the problem of engine exhaust burning the deck has never been solved, the Yak-38 stayed on a land base most of the time.

It was the same this time. On the deck of the Minsk, there were only a few Ka-27 carrier-based helicopters parked in the circular take-off and landing area, showing off their style.

Although the Yak-38 is not very good, the Ka-27 has very Soviet characteristics. Kamov Design Bureau has been very fond of the coaxial inversion layout almost since its establishment. Almost all the products produced by the design bureau are this kind of thing. The top two propellers counteract the engine torque by counter-rotating, so there is no need for a common helicopter tail propeller. This makes the helicopters of the Kamov Design Bureau look relatively short and stout, and the appearance of the Ka-27 has also been given the nickname snail by NATO.

The length is shortened, but the height is much higher, and the resistance caused by the two rotors is greater, so the maximum horizontal flight speed of this helicopter is not high, and the hangar after boarding the ship must be specially designed. Just fine.

so. Rick and Hussein couldn't help but sigh when they saw each other's aircraft carrier.

"This aircraft carrier can only have greater combat effectiveness if it is modified." Hussein said: "Remove the anti-ship missiles on the front deck, add a jump deck, and expand the hangar. I think it can accommodate four About ten fighter planes are the biggest weapon for an aircraft carrier.”

It is impossible for this kind of aircraft carrier to add a catapult. The boiler was not prepared for the catapult when it was designed. It was changed to a leap form, which can also allow the carrier-based aircraft to take off, as long as it is a fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft. The power is far greater than that of the Yak-38 or the Ka-27.

"Impossible." Rick said from the side: "This kind of aircraft carrier has a congenital flaw. The amount of renovation work is not small, almost as much as a new aircraft carrier. Moreover, the jump deck takes up too much space, which is harmful to the carrier-based aircraft. The disadvantages of rapid dispatch are that the Soviets really enjoy it. The bridge is also built so tall. If the bridge is reduced, at least two more aircraft can be parked on the deck. "

According to the thinking of the Soviet era, officials could not live below the deck, but had to live on the bridge. Therefore, the bridge was made so big, which wasted too much space.

"Attention all units, the exercise has officially begun." The voice of the deputy commander of the Chinese Navy on the Kunlun came over the radio. He is also the commander-in-chief of the exercise: "Now, we are conducting the first item of the exercise, against the enemy fleet in the distant sea. Carry out a long-range strike! Please ask the Indomitable to take off the carrier-based early warning aircraft and fighter jets, and ask the USS Minsk to take off the Ka-31 early warning aircraft to jointly search for the enemy fleet at sea ahead.”

Originally, the Minsk was not equipped with a carrier-based early warning aircraft. For this exercise, it was specially seconded from the Northern Fleet.

This kind of Ka-31 was developed on the body of the Ka-27. Since the Soviet aircraft carrier could not take off and land conventional carrier-based early warning aircraft, they could only come up with a helicopter early warning method. Under the Ka-31, there is a flat plate The phased array radar antenna can scan down from the sky to detect low-altitude sea-skimming fighter planes and missiles, as well as warships on the sea.

Generally, multinational navies, even if they hold military exercises, usually focus on search and rescue. But now, the military exercises of the three countries are focused on sea attacks. Although the coordination between them is still poor, this is a Very bad signal.

United States, White House.

Satellites have taken clear photos. Three aircraft carriers appeared on the east side of Bay Island at the same time. The most spectacular of them is the Pakistani ship Indomitable.

Who would have thought that Pakistan, which even imported a small patrol boat ten years ago, is now able to produce its own aircraft carriers! This Indomitable would not have been produced in such a short period of time even in established countries like Britain and France. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier is no less than that of the American Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier. combat effectiveness.

The battle group composed of these three aircraft carriers is undergoing a formation exercise, and one of the main contents of the exercise is to attack the enemy's fleet!

This is simply a slap in the face of Americans.

Bush's face was ashen.

The greatest contribution of George W. Bush during his tenure was probably the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The Cold War ended, the entire Warsaw Pact ceased to exist, and the United States has since become the only superpower in the world!

It was with the support of this belief that Bush Sr. could unscrupulously pursue the new post-Cold War policies, which was the beginning of American hegemony. He sent troops to Iraq to overthrow the Saddam regime, and then sent troops to Iran in an attempt to unify the country. throughout the Middle East.

However, Bush Sr. did not expect that just when the U.S. military was involved in a bitter war in Iran, the United States was already on fire in its backyard. China, which originally came together with the United States because of the threat from the Soviet Union, now actually began to get together with Russia after its disintegration!

The incident in Wanwan almost represents the breakdown of the relationship between the United States and China. Now, the two sides have completely reached a stalemate, but a new alliance seems to be emerging in East Asia.

If China, Russia, and Pakistan come together, they will be the biggest threat to the United States! In particular, Russia and China are both countries of the Wuchang.

"The military exercises of these three countries are unusual." Cheney said: "Now that China has broken through the first island chain, our Pacific Ocean will face threats from the Chinese army at any time."

"China does not yet have this capability. China is still developing its economy. They do not put military first." Secretary of State Baker said: "For example, the Chinese do not have an aircraft carrier yet. As for the Kunlun, it is just a It's just an amphibious assault ship, and China doesn't have a fixed-wing aviation force. However, there is now news that China has taken a fancy to the Ukrainian Varyag and wants to drag this aircraft carrier back to China and become China's real first aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier.”

Varyag, this unfinished aircraft carrier in the Soviet era, is still in a state of shutdown in the Black Sea Shipyard in Ukraine, witnessing the sorrow after the disappearance of a great country.

"Yes, our CIA has also received news that Chinese naval officials have visited the Black Sea Shipyard several times." CIA Director William said.

If we follow the development of history, China really wants to get this Varyag. Unfortunately, it has changed a lot from history. China has equipped the Tomcat as a heavy-duty aircraft among the third-generation aircraft. At the same time, the fourth-generation Silence The cat has also completed research and development, and the Chinese Navy also has a long-term vision. What they need is an aircraft carrier that can catapult fighter jets, and the Varyag has fallen behind.

Moreover, Pakistan has accumulated a lot of technology in building aircraft carriers. China can start building aircraft carriers on its own with the help of Pakistan. There is no need to buy a second-hand aircraft carrier that is already outdated. The intelligence obtained by the Americans is nothing more than fog bombs.

Vice President Dan Quayle said nothing. He has become discouraged recently.

Originally, according to convention, Bush Sr. who had been re-elected must not be re-elected. Historically, President Roosevelt was re-elected for multiple terms due to World War II. Generally speaking, the vice president is the candidate for the next president. In other words, Dan Quayle should actively plan for next year's general election.

However, Dan Quayle knows that the Republican Party will definitely have no chance this time. Bush was lucky not to be fired during his term. Moreover, even if the next successor takes office, he will have a lot of bad things to worry about, so Dan Quayle gave up the campaign for the next term and left it to others in the party.
