Chapter 224: Russia has made a big move (third update!)
"I see, I will order the Far Eastern military base to cooperate with you to the best of its ability. The President of Russia, said decisively. Since it said that it wanted to make a big deal out of it, then Russia will never admit it!
"Okay, Your Excellency President, thank you for your support!" As soon as the marshal heard the words "Far Eastern Military Base," he was relieved in his heart.
Because there are more than a dozen Russian military bases in the Far Eastern Territory, large and small. Among them, the Durinsk airbase, the Vladivostok (Vladivostok) airbase, is the closest to the sea area of the exercises.
As long as the president gives an order, the Su-27 fighters and MiG-29 fighters in the air base will be able to quickly support the battlefield within 15 minutes!
Two minutes later, the Durinsk airbase and Vladivostok airbase, which received the president's order, sent 12 Su-27 fighters and 15 MiG-29 fighters to the local waters.
The Saihonto Air Self-Defense Force, which learned the news, immediately dispatched twice as many F-4EJ fighters and F-2 fighters to the waters of the Saihonto Sea to provide support.
The F-4EJ fighter is a second-generation fighter purchased by the Americans and the United States. The F-2 fighter, on the other hand, belongs to the third generation. They are not at the same level as Russia's Su-27 fighters and MiG-29 fighters.
That's why the Air Self-Defense Force will send twice as many fighters as a way to make up for its combat strength.
But what they didn't expect was that in addition to the 27 Su-27 fighters and MiG-29 fighters that had just taken off.
Russia's Far East Air Base even sent four "Tu-95 long-range strategic bombers" carrying several tons of nuclear missiles to fly toward the islands!
In the general base of the Air Force, the intelligence officer who received this urgent message immediately found the general of the Air Force who was in the operation center and anxiously reported the matter!
"Your Excellency, there is an emergency! Our reconnaissance planes, which we have just detected, have four Russian Tu-95 long-range bombers! It seems that they are carrying nuclear warheads and are flying in the direction of our country! Two of them are going to fly from the Honhai to the main island of Okinawa! The other two are coming from the direction of the Pacific Ocean, in the direction of Tokyo and Osaka!
This intelligence officer, as if facing a major enemy, reported to the air force general in the combat center.
"Tu-95 long-range strategic bomber", NATO codenamed "Bear". The reason for this code name is because its maximum bomb load is 25,000 kilograms! That is, 25 tons of nuclear bombs!
This is equivalent to a Tsar Bomba Big Ivan, which can cause an explosive yield of 50 million tons of TNT in the bombed area! It is 3,800 times more than the atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II!
"What!? Four Tu-95 bombers, and they carry nuclear warheads?" When the air force general heard this, he was taken aback! They said that the shadow of nuclear weapons is deeply ingrained. It could even be said that it is the fear that comes from the soul!
"Immediately send out all the bases and all the fighters that can be dispatched! Be sure to intercept them! Don't let them enter our airspace!"
"Also, give me a call at once, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, and let him know about it. "The general of the Air Force was really scared into a cold sweat by the Russian Air Force. Originally, he thought that the Russian Far East Air Base was just sending fighter planes to support the waters of the country.
But I never expected that he, the Russians, would come so ruthlessly! Four Tu-95 long-range strategic bombers! They were also carrying nuclear bombs! If this was an impulse and threw it down on the book, the whole country would be destroyed with a flick of the fingers!
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister is already online!" the intelligence officer hurriedly brought the phone.
Senior Air Force General Yu Ben took the phone and then reported to the prime minister, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister! The situation is urgent! The Russian air base has sent four Tu-95 strategic bombers, which seem to be carrying nuclear missiles, and are flying towards our islands!"
After listening to the report from the main air base, the prime minister on the other end of the phone turned a little white!
"What? Russia has used a nuclear bomb?" asked Prime Minister Yoshimoto, with a look of astonishment on the phone. Nuclear weapons have always been their weakness.
Although the Maritime Self-Defense Force has so many quasi-aircraft carriers, destroyers, anti-submarine ships, and anti-ship aircraft. But they are unable to possess nuclear weapons, and they are not afraid of a conventional war with Russia. I'm afraid that if they don't follow the routine, they will directly throw the atomic bomb!
However, just as the Air Self-Defense Force is in line with Prime Minister Yomoto. The Russian Navy, near the sea area where the Russian Navy and the Maritime Self-Defense Force confronted each other, suddenly appeared a giant warship with a black body!
Behind this giant warship are 6 Modern-class destroyers, 3 Kirov-class cruisers, 15 Grisha-class frigates, and 11 Albatross-class light anti-submarine ships!
It's the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group!!
The strongest combat power of the Russian Navy!
During the confrontation, the Maritime Self-Defense Force was in a state of chaos when it saw the appearance of a real aircraft carrier battle group! Compared with a real aircraft carrier, their helicopter carriers are not a little inferior in combat effectiveness!
After all, helicopter gunships, no matter how numerous they are, are not at all an opponent of fighters. In particular, Russia's third- and fourth-generation fighters fly at high speeds and high altitudes, and they directly take advantage of their superiority in altitude and speed to carry out dive attacks on helicopter groups.
Even if it is a helicopter gunship, equipped with infrared air-to-air missiles, and attacks from the back. The actual effect is not much stronger than that of anti-aircraft guns. Unless the fighter pilot makes a mistake and makes a mistake, there is no chance of winning. It's even more impossible to escape, and you'll be beaten every minute!
"Vice Admiral Kazuo Ida! That's the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group of the Russian Northern Fleet! The 30 warplanes on their aircraft carrier have already taken to the air! Now they are flying towards our army's helicopter gunship and the mother ship!" said the first mate anxiously.
The Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is Russia's only aircraft carrier in service, with a length of 302 meters, a width of 72 meters, a draft of 10.5 meters, a full load displacement of 67,500 tons, and a speed of up to 30 knots.
It can carry up to 52 carrier-based aircraft, including 20 Su-33 fighters, 12 MiG-29K fighters, 15 Ka-27 helicopter gunships.
Under the flight deck of the bow, there is also a 12-cell vertical launcher with 3K-45 "Granite" anti-ship missiles, which is equipped with 12 3K-45 "Granite" anti-ship missiles. This missile can receive target information through satellites and carry out over-the-horizon strikes, with a maximum range of up to 550 km!
As soon as the Russian aircraft carrier battle group appeared, the situation in the field gradually became unfavorable to the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
