Therefore, its ships are constantly developing towards large-scale and ocean-going development. Self-confidence is also growing.

Most South Koreans always think that their naval strength is second only to the United States, France, and Russia. As for the United Kingdom, country Z does not even have aircraft carriers at the moment (2002), and in terms of the number of large and medium-sized surface ships, it is also less than them.

The total number of South Korean Navy is around 35,000.

The military exercise team was equipped with one Dokdo-class amphibious assault ship, one Lone Hayabusa-class tank landing ship, two KDX-2 Aegis destroyers (Yi Sunsin), three KDX-1 destroyers, five Incheon-class FFX-1 frigates, and six Ulsan-class frigates.

Among them, the "Dokdo"-class amphibious assault ship was launched into service in 2005 in its previous life. But in this life, with the support of the French, South Korea developed very quickly.

At 3 p.m., when the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, with amphibious assault ships, Aquitaine-class destroyers, Lafayette-class frigates, Ruby-class attack nuclear submarines. Mighty appeared in the Far Eastern Seas.

The Dokdo-class amphibious assault ships, the Lone Falcon-class tank landing ships, and the KDX-2-class Aegis destroyer group also joined the French fleet in the waters of the Far East.

This super-combined fleet, with a total size of more than 40 ships, once combined, occupied a large area of sea. The scale is so spectacular that it seems that the entire sea will be flattened by them.

Such a scene naturally attracted war correspondents from all over the world. They flew in a special helicopter, with cameras and cameras, to film as much as they could.

"Compared with last year's military exercise of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, the scale of this joint ROK-France exercise is nearly twice as large! Even the aircraft carrier battle group has been dispatched. I really don't know what kind of response the Russian side will make?" asked a reporter who participated in the filming of the confrontation between Russia and Japan at sea last year, curiously to his companion.

"Last year, the Russian Navy urgently transferred the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group. Then with the nuclear submarine, plus the Tu-95 strategic bomber, the Navy was scared away. South Korea and France are expected to learn the lesson of the book and take more precautions in the air and underwater units, right?" War correspondents, most of whom are half-military experts, are not wrong in their analysis.

This time, the joint fleet of South Korea and France has long targeted Russia's Tu-95 and Tu-160 supersonic bombers. As well as attack and missile nuclear submarines, adequate precautions have been taken, targeted measures.

That is to send more fighter jets to be in the vicinity at any time. Increase the number of underwater combat units to attack nuclear submarines with the French Ruby class against the Russian Type 971 nuclear submarines. It must be in momentum and strength to completely overwhelm the other party. Give the Russians an impressive dismount.

"Look! It seems that there is a Russian fleet in front, is it the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group?" The war correspondents on the helicopter looked at the sea in the distance with binoculars. There is a conventionally powered aircraft carrier with a black body, with 3 Hyundai-class destroyers and 6 Grisha-class frigates. The gentle direction of the combined fleets of the DPRK and France approached.

The South Koreans, the French, want to conduct joint military exercises. Of course, Russia also has to join in the fun and come and participate together. It's just that the exercise areas of the two sides are not the same. The sea areas that are blocked in advance and closed to traffic are also different.

Look at the Russian fleet, there are only a pitiful 10 warships. The combined fleet of South Korea and France, which was four times larger than him, suddenly completely surpassed Russia in terms of momentum.

"Let the underwater troops go to the front sea area to reconnoiter and see if the Russians' nuclear submarines are ambushing over there? And let the air troops be on standby at any time in case the Russians play any conspiracy to sabotage our military exercise. On the French Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, Captain Le Goff, said to the fleet.

Although only 10 Russian ships appeared ahead. However, the French Navy will not be as blind and arrogant as the Maritime Self-Defense Force. So as not to be caught off guard by Russia at the time.

At the same time, the South Korean Navy, which followed the French fleet. There are no French at all, who come so cautiously. After seeing that Russia was so weak, most of the hearts they had originally carried were finally relieved.

"Sure enough, with the distribution of the four major fleets of Russia, it is impossible for them to rush to the Far East so quickly! This is also the weak point of their Russian navy, and if the sea area is too large, the reaction efficiency will be reduced!" Vice Admiral Min Jun-ho, who was in charge of the commander-in-chief of the South Korean "Dokdo"-class amphibious assault ship, said with a triumphant smile.

They deliberately made a time difference with Russia, so that the Russian Navy did not have enough time, and as they did last time, they dispatched ships to come to support.

"Your Excellency, 28 nautical miles ahead, is the blockade area of the Russian fleet's military exercises. At our current speed, we expect to be in the area in another 75 minutes. Do you want to give the order to slow down the fleet?" asked the Rear Admiral's first officer, who was next to him.

It is a very serious provocation to step into the no-sail zone of another country at will. Just like last time, they not only entered the blockade zone of the Russian Navy, but also accelerated towards them. Attempts were made to forcibly interrupt the exercises of the Russian army.

"The Russians, only ten warships have been dispatched, and they want such a large area of sea military exercises?" Vice Admiral Min Junhao looked at the forbidden area of the Russian fleet again. Before, he looked at the Russians and asked for such a large area of sea, and he felt that they were "bluffing".

Now compared to the scarce number of 10 ships, it is obvious that the Russian Navy does not need such a large area. Moreover, with the current distance between the two fleets, it will take at least four hours to sail at full speed before there will be a chance of hand-to-hand combat (currently 450 kilometers apart).

The reason why it is said that it takes 4 hours to sail before there will be a chance to meet in close combat. That's because of conventional anti-ship missiles, when launched at a distance of 300 km from the target. The missile needs to fly for about 18 minutes. During this time, the target ship sailed at a range of 15 kilometers. The navigation error of the missile is about 3 km.

Combined, the two are 18 kilometers away from the aiming point. Even if you count the 15-kilometer range of the missile seeker, it will not be able to intercept the target.

Therefore, traditional anti-ship missiles need to be launched at about 200 kilometers in order to accurately intercept the target. Above a certain value, the hit rate is very low.

An interesting comparison is that in the 80s, the Tomahawk cruise missile was capable of reaching a range of 2000 km. But the range of the Tomahawk cruise missile, the anti-ship version, can only reach 500 km. In the end, the U.S. military has not yet adopted it. It is mainly due to the difference in guidance methods.
