Chapter 312: The Battle of the Indian Ocean

To defeat India is as simple as having a strategic nuclear submarine launch all its ballistic missiles, each with six to eight split warheads, totaling more than 20 million tons of yield, which would burn India's major cities and military bases in the flames of a nuclear explosion.

But the same way of playing is not advisable until things go to a desperate situation. After all, UME is a dream that they have spent ten years working hard to build, the hard work of countless people and countless technologies, which is why Meng Qian and Tiger both want to stick to the end before leaving.

Future City and Liberty City are like their children, and parents will not give up on their children easily. Even if they adopt the third gambler-style crackdown plan, they still need to find a plan that makes UME have a better chance of surviving and breaking through the predicament and rushing into the future.

UME's navy and air force units have gone to the Seychelles military base, which is the gateway of UME, which is only 3,000 kilometers away from India, and can reach the Indian mainland in 30 hours at the speed of the navy's march; In 25 hours, there will be a war between friend or foe.

In the underground command of the southern region of the UME, the top brass gathered.

It was the last twenty hours before the start of the war. At the diplomatic level, the UME government is still making its final efforts; In news reports, it is also creating a voice for social stability and promoting the strength of the National Defense Force. Many people have not thought that the UME has decided to fight, or even a nuclear war.

Just like the Indian idea, what is the background of UME?

They really had no money, and the troops assembled in the Seychelles could easily be counted: a Leviathan-class cruiser; three Ocean Dragon-class destroyers; a Dragon King Whale-class strategic nuclear submarine; There are 12 FM-1 fighters in the Air Force, and the FM-2 has a very limited role because the range is too short.

an E5 electronic-AWACS aircraft of the Air Force; Two B5 strategic bombers. Maybe one and a half, because the second was just assembled three days ago. Just had time for a test flight; There is also a supersonic airliner, which will make a cameo appearance as a transport aircraft. If necessary, transport soldiers to land.

The remaining amphibious assault ships and 054A frigates, because they could not keep up with their speed and attack capabilities, could only dock along the coast of UME and be responsible for ballistic missile defense -- the flight deck of the amphibious ship had already carried land-based electromagnetic guns up to form a protective network for the northern region.

India, on the other hand, is a big step ahead in terms of numbers.

two conventionally powered aircraft carriers, carrier-based Rafale fighters; a number of Calcutta-class destroyers, Shivalik-class frigates, patrol ships and supply ships around them; There are also attack nuclear submarines and strategic nuclear submarines that cannot be seen underwater; This is already a tough reply to the military voice of the UME.

Indians say they are not afraid. But psychologically wary, although I know that the other side only has a few ships, it is very advanced, there are sixth-generation UAVs, so the fleet is active in an area 600 kilometers from the inland, local fighters can take off at any time to support, and T50 stealth fighters are on standby.

Pour dozens of hours.

The weather in the morning was very good, the sky was clear, and people went to work. Going to school, going to school, not feeling the coming storm at all. The government, for its part, is still looking for a way to resolve the conflict, and UME wants India to return the plane. They are willing to take the blame for the past.

India has not backed down, and they need the UME to admit that it was the first to invade the airspace of the fleet and let the world know about it. Let's talk about the return of the aircraft; The contradictions remained unresolved, and the last efforts of the interlocutors ended. Contacts between the two countries were completely severed.

Politics cannot be reconciled, and the means of war become inevitable.

It's just that the way of war is subdivided. The UME Defence Force first needs to defeat India's twin carrier fleet and prove its strength in conventional warfare; Although the use of nuclear weapons can be done once and for all, it will completely cut off the back path of UME and put itself in a desperate situation.

However, if India is still not convinced after defeating the fleet, the UME will take further strikes to paralyze the opponent's counterattack capability; If the other side insists on using strategic weapons, the UME will launch a full-scale nuclear attack, and everyone will play together - this is a last resort.

"The fleet is already in place." Isabella's voice came that in unmanned warfare, artificial intelligence is much more proficient than humans.

Most of the commanders present were to make observations and decisions.

Victor pointed his finger at the airspace: "The air force is dispatched to seize air supremacy in this sea area first." ”

"Understood, sir." Artificial intelligence is in action.

Escorted by two FM-1 fighters, the E5 electronic-AWACS aircraft has a scanning radius of up to 600 kilometers and is capable of capturing more than 800 targets in the air and on the water. At the same time, it has the capability of an electronic jammer capable of jamming and invading the enemy's communications and networks.

As the eyes of the Wehrmacht, the AWACS aircraft needs it to provide radar scan data, whether it is an air, ground or sea attack, which is particularly important. Therefore, the Air Force is basically used to protect AWACS aircraft, and it always hovers outside the safety line, that is, outside the missile range.

India's most advanced shipborne air defense missile has a range of up to 150 km, and it cannot hit an AWACS aircraft with a scanning radius of 600 km. The only threat was fighter jets, for which the Wehrmacht arranged for four FM-1 fighters to accompany them for safety.

Led by the E5 electron-AWACS aircraft, the Wehrmacht started at full speed.

India's AWACS aircraft also received a radiation signal (radar), and both sides were well aware that the battle was about to begin.

The Indian side was urgently deployed, and the early warning aircraft closely monitored every move in the air and on the sea, but did not find that two FM-1 formations were flying at a low altitude skimming the sea, relying on their own stealth characteristics, coupled with hypersonic speed, approaching the enemy's early warning aircraft.

They want to give priority to taking out India's airborne radar and blinding the enemy.

India also attaches great importance to the protection of AWACS aircraft, and Russian-made T50 stealth fighters are waiting by its side. The FM-1 approached little by little, but the opponent's radar still did not detect it, and the FM-1's radar remained turned off, and only through the data link of the E5, they locked the position of the enemy's AWACS aircraft.

After reaching the combat position, the FM-1 was already difficult to remain invisible at this distance, and immediately climbed to carry out a hypersonic raid. The speed soon reached Mach 6 - a speed that none of India's anti-aircraft missiles could keep up with, and their radars suddenly appeared with two targets.

Advanced radar for the E5. Locking on the two T50s next to the Indian AWACS aircraft, the FM-1 passed through the data link. Send two air-to-air missiles. A T50 fires jamming bombs and uses its stealth characteristics to maneuver to dodge. The other one was not so lucky, the missile exploded on its back, and the shock wave tore it apart.

"Shoot down one!" AI refreshes images.

Another evasive T50 fighter plane could not escape, the pilot just now relieved himself from the violent maneuver, and the warning system beeped again - this time it was an infrared warning, he subconsciously turned his head, and was horrified to find that ****** enemy plane was not far from him!

This ghostly speed is unexpected.

FM-1 fires an infrared combat projectile at close range. This distance is no longer enough for the pilot to throw a thermal flare, the only thing can only be to pull the ejection lever and eject - the plane explodes! FM-1 swept past him at high speed, and it took a few seconds for a shrill sound to follow.

"Shoot down the second plane." AI reports on the situation.

The enemy AWACS aircraft has lost the protection of its fighters, and with a radar with strong radiation on its back, it has become the most conspicuous target in the air -- the nearest air force fighter is 20 kilometers away, and the FM-1 has come behind it with its excellent speed and maneuverability!

But there was also a T50 that took advantage of low altitude + stealth and chased after FM-1. Missiles are coming!

Before that, FM-1 fired a missile at the AWACS aircraft, and the other side used jamming means, and FM-1 was also provocative. Firing machine guns at it -- 30-millimeter cannons are fired intensively, and using them to hit early warning planes is absolutely in modern air combat. The most capable way to insult your opponents!

It is impossible to tell whether the cannon hit the AWACS aircraft or not, but the more advanced infrared missiles were not deceived by the decoy. It chased the heat from the AWACS engine and crashed headlong. Explosions, flames engulfed AWACS, plummeting from the sky.

The air-to-air missile launched by the T50 is about to catch up with the FM-1.

But it performed a large-angle evasive maneuver, the rocket thrusters accelerated with full force, and the ramjet engine worked - it left the missile behind it and burst out with a speed of sound that made all air-to-air missiles desperate! Swaggered and drove away, leaving the Indian pilots dumbfounded!

Airplanes are faster than missiles, how can this battle be fought?

What's even worse is that the second formation has been maintaining a low-altitude stealth FM-1, and the launched anti-radiation missiles are approaching! The pilot only had time to pray, and before he could even eject, he was engulfed in orange-red flames, and even the people and planes turned into debris in the air, fertilizer in the Indian Ocean.

"The enemy AWACS aircraft has been destroyed, and air supremacy will be further seized." AI says.

"The fleet goes into action." Victor ordered.

India's BrahMos anti-ship missiles have an effective range of about 300 km, and the UME fleet is now located 320 km away, and India can't hit them! The Air Force, which is capable of threatening the fleet, currently has lost AWACS aircraft and wants to support, but in the face of 12 ferocious FM-1s, it is powerless.

Whether it is the Ocean Dragon class or the Leviathan class, the electromagnetic cannon can hit a range of more than 450 kilometers, and the farthest can hit 1,000 kilometers, ten times the speed of sound. If India knew the gap between heaven and earth, they would regret putting on such a big position, but they could only give people a beating.

But it was too late, the fleet came within 300 km of the enemy, and destroyers and cruisers surfaced . On the surface, 2×3 destroyer electromagnetic guns + 4 cruiser electromagnetic cannons, fire in unison! Under the radar guidance provided by the E5 AWACS aircraft, at a speed of sound exceeding Mach 6, they flew to two Indian aircraft carriers.

There is one last step left to seize air supremacy: the destruction of aircraft carriers.

The shells with 6 times the speed of sound quickly crossed the 300 kilometers distance, and the radar of the Indian destroyer has already detected the incoming shells and tried to intercept them, but unfortunately the other side is too fast and too small, what does India use to stop it? American sea sparrows? Godfather Phalanx?

If it is an ordinary anti-ship missile, the interception means may be possible, because the anti-ship missile is very large in size and not very fast, subsonic is dominant, and there is rarely supersonic speed. But now these shells, small in size and fast, have arrived in the blink of an eye.

The radar of the E5 AWACS aircraft provides precise guidance for the shells.

The shells were smashed on the decks of the two aircraft carriers, and the minimum shell mass was about 25 kilograms, and because there were no ****** and other burdens, its warhead charge reached a staggering 12 kilograms, which was about twice as large as that of a 155-mm howitzer, and the killing radius reached 70 meters.

The earth-shattering explosion of "boom boom" caused all the planes and soldiers on the deck of the Indian aircraft carrier to suffer! The third and fourth shells came one after another, and although they were not as powerful as the anti-ship missiles, they could not withstand their large numbers, and each aircraft carrier was attacked five times, and all of them were hit.

The decks of the aircraft carrier have been damaged to varying degrees, black smoke is rising, and the fire is burning, but the aircraft carrier is worthy of being the most resistant. , the blow hadn't sunk yet, but the flight deck was destroyed and the planes could no longer take off - but it was almost scrapped.

"The enemy aircraft carrier has been paralyzed."

The flying bomber, No. 2, did not carry much ammunition, but it used a reconnaissance pod that could be used as a reconnaissance aircraft. It clearly captured the scene of black smoke emitting from the decks of two Indian aircraft carriers, the surrounding fires, and incoming anti-aircraft missiles.

But the B5 has a speed of Mach 6, and it is at high altitude, so it is easy to dodge when accelerating.

"Enemy anti-ship missiles have been launched." The AWACS aircraft provided more battlefield data, and at the same time carried out an invasion of the Indian army's communications to seize the opportunity.

The BrahMos anti-ship missiles used by the Indians, with Mach 2.3 and a maximum range of 350 km, are just within striking range of the UME fleet!

Indians - angry Indian soldiers, staring at the radar, waiting for the news that the enemy has been hit!

But in the next second, the truth brutally hit them again!

"Enemy, enemy gone!" Indian radar soldiers reported.

"Gone?" The fleet commander frowned, and he remembered an amazing fact: the warships of the UME were able to dive!

Real him. Holy!

After the E5 AWACS aircraft detected the incoming anti-ship missile, the UME fleet immediately started diving, and as long as they dived into the water, the radar could no longer find the target.

Anti-ship missiles use mainly radar guidance, but without radar information, what a fart?

The diving UME warship changed positions, easily dodged the missiles, and then surfaced again.

"Support from the enemy's air force is coming." The E5 electronic-AWACS aircraft has successfully invaded the communication network of the Indian army, "the estimated arrival time is 22 minutes, and the models are Russian-made T50, French Rafale, Su-30; The Indian army is dispatching submarines at a distance of 80 kilometers. ”

22 minutes was enough for the Wehrmacht to take down the Indian fleet, and Victor ordered: "Destroy them!" (To be continued.) )
