This was the first time that the Russians had confronted the Americans head-on since the Cold War, and after announcing the formation of a joint fleet, the Americans felt a huge threat as if they were on fire in their backyards, and the US Navy's Fifth Fleet urgently returned to the Persian Gulf, and at the same time, the aircraft carrier battle group to which the Sixth Fleet belonged also began to move from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf.

The Russian Navy is not stingy at all, and since it is all torn apart, Russia must achieve its strategic goal and let the aircraft carrier Peter the Great be nailed to the Persian Gulf.

The main fleet of the Black Sea Fleet was urgently dispatched, and the flagship, headed by the missile cruiser Moskva, led two large anti-submarine ships, three missile boats, and five frigates from the home port of the Black Sea Fleet to the Persian Gulf.

Since the end of the Cold War, Russia has rarely engaged in head-on confrontation or conflict with the United States, but at this time, although the Black Sea Fleet has not been fully dispatched, if the aircraft carrier Peter the Great is added, it will be different, Russia is not China, and it is not difficult for the aircraft carrier to form combat effectiveness after it is launched.

In the former Soviet Union, there were almost ten aircraft carriers, and although several Russian aircraft carriers have been decommissioned recently, the crew is still there.

Just as the two major powers are facing each other in the Persian Gulf, the media of various countries around the world have also begun to focus on the aircraft carrier Peter the Great, which is very similar to the aircraft carrier of the United States.

Someone just mentioned, is this aircraft carrier a new type of aircraft carrier for Russia? However, some people soon questioned the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier, whether the Russian Navy can use Western-style aircraft carriers as before, and whether it can have good combat effectiveness as before is still to be determined, and the most important thing is that this aircraft carrier does not have carrier-based aircraft, although the weapon systems have been installed, but an aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft is a moving target.

But soon this suspicion disappeared, because people were surprised to find that half a month after the start of the confrontation, the aircraft carrier was already full of flags, and the ship was already filled with all the aircraft that an aircraft carrier has, including 40 Su-33 fighters, 15 Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopters, 4 Su-25UGT trainers and 2 Ka-29RLD early warning helicopters, a total of sixty-one aircraft.

When the Moskva missile cruiser came to the Persian Gulf, the aircraft carrier Peter the Great quickly formed an aircraft carrier formation with it, and the Russian aircraft carrier also released a video of the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft.

The confrontation between the United States and Russia in the Persian Gulf has made the whole world feel like it has returned to the Cold War period, and Russia, like the United States, did not make any statements, they just sent warships over, and in the words of the Americans, they do not recognize the so-called two-hundred-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, only three-nautical-mile territorial waters.

Therefore, as long as it is outside your territorial waters within three nautical miles, my warships can enter, for example, the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea, or the Huang Bohai Sea, and the Americans do not think that it is China's territorial waters, but the high seas.

And the same is true in the Persian Gulf, the Americans do not recognize the Persian Gulf as the territorial waters of a certain country, so as long as I put the fleet at your doorstep, you can't help me, of course, it must be outside your territorial waters within three nautical miles.

If the Americans do not abide by the UN maritime convention, then the Russians naturally do not need to do so, but both countries have remained silent, they have not given any life on the confrontation, and naturally they do not admit that this is the beginning of a new Cold War, but the carrier-based aircraft of the fleets of the two countries have collided from time to time.

In particular, the reconnaissance planes are constantly monitoring the radio and radar frequencies of the other side, and it seems that there is no war, but in terms of electronic warfare, the two countries are already fighting fiercely.

In modern warfare, the importance of electronic warfare has taken the first place, and once it is interfered with by electronics, or detected by it, it will fall into a disadvantageous situation in wartime.

In particular, if the radar frequency and communication frequency are detected by the enemy, the frequency on the battleship cannot be replaced, and the radar and communication system can only be replaced together, and the radar and communication system are the core of the battleship, and all command and weapon systems rely on the radar and communication system for command.

As long as the enemy knows what band your radar frequency and communication system are in, you can easily interfere with your radar and communication system when the two armies are fighting.

For this confrontation, the Russian side has dispatched the most capable electronic warfare experts, and even equipped the Basra Air Force with electronic reconnaissance planes and electronic early warning planes to conduct counterreconnaissance, which does not require mutual collision or friction between warships, victory or defeat is in the rear, and whoever gets the radar frequency and communication frequency of the opposing fleet first will be the victor.

If the Russians get the frequency, although the Americans will not withdraw, they will definitely withdraw the Fifth Fleet and replace it with another fleet, because no one wants to become someone else's target after the frequency is obtained.

And these days, Canglong is on the missile cruiser Moskva almost every day, and he also gets all the experts in cyber warfare of his Prophet Army on the warship.

In order to learn modern electronic warfare and prepare for future wars, in case they encounter such a situation in the future, they will not be completely overwhelmed.

At first, he thought that the confrontation between the Russians and the Americans after they came would stage a ship-to-ship contest with each other, but after learning about electronic warfare, he knew that he was really wrong, and at the same time he understood that if he did not develop his own electronic personnel, it would be difficult to parry the Americans in the future.

He also finally understood that modern warfare depends not only on weapons and equipment, but also on weapon systems, and if the Americans detect the frequency of the Basra missile unit, in the event of a war, the Americans can dispatch electronic jamming planes to disable all the communication systems and radars in Basra.

Without radar and communication systems, missiles would not have been able to find their targets, and it would have been difficult for the command to even give orders to launch missiles.

And in these few days of electronic warfare, Canglong also saw the real strength of the Americans, even the Russian technical experts, are very difficult, this is no less than a real large-scale naval battle, but the battlefield takes place in the rear of the two countries, this is a competition of technology.

The Russians were unwilling to fail, and almost used their strength to eat milk, which also made Canglong see the tenacity of the Russians, who did not compromise in the face of a strong enemy, but became stronger and stronger.

But Canglong didn't have much time to observe the electronic confrontation between the two countries, as the confrontation between the US and Russian navies in the Persian Gulf became more and more intense, the Chinese military also began to be anxious, Wan Zeliang used to urge Canglong once a week, but now it has become once a day, although Canglong often hides on the Moskva missile cruiser, but Wan Zeliang does not give up at all, even if he is waiting in the port, he will wait for Canglong to come back.

There is a reason why Wan Zeliang is so anxious, if Russia and Basra form a joint fleet, then in the future, there will be a share of the Russians in the entire Middle East, and since there are Russians, then China will naturally have to participate in it, and it must not lag behind.

But who can China turn to in the Middle East? In addition to Iran, that is Basra, Iran will not mention it, and now it is still awkward with Basra, Canglong does not go back for a day, China will not come forward for Iran to ask for negotiations, if this electronic warfare Russians win, then it will be difficult for China to intervene in it.

Out of strategic considerations, China must step in, so Wan Zeliang is so anxious, but Canglong just doesn't see him, and even if he sees him, it's just a few perfunctory words.

Waited until the evening, Canglong finally came back, Wan Zeliang was not allowed to enter the military port, so he could only wait outside, it was still raining heavily this day, when Canglong saw him, his clothes were soaked, Wan Zeliang was about to say something, Canglong preemptively said: "Go back and talk first." ”

Back in Basra, Canglong booked a conference room in the International Hotel, what Wan Zeliang didn't expect was that Canglong said as soon as he opened his mouth: "I'll go back with you tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Wan Zeliang was a little surprised, he was already ready to meet Canglong's perfunctory, but he didn't expect to agree, and so simply, so he confirmed, "Are you sure? ”

"Doesn't my words count?" Canglong asked rhetorically, "You go, I will definitely go back with you tomorrow." ”

Getting this satisfactory answer, Wan Zeliang smiled and left.

Seeing Canglong's pensive face, Su Su asked, "Head, are you really going back?" ”

"Of course, it's time to go back." Canglong said calmly.

"Why don't you go back early, don't go back late, but go back at this time?" Su Su asked again.

"Because everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." Canglong smiled and picked up the map, "This month's electronic warfare, I have figured out the psychology of the Americans, as long as the Russian fleet is still in Basra, the US Fifth Fleet will not be able to move, and we will take advantage of this great opportunity to eliminate the last enemy." ”

"You mean to say" Su Su looked incredulous, this was also their ultimate goal in Iraq.

"Kuwait is solved, the Iranians are solved, the Russians are coming, now just kick off the last stumbling block." Canglong looked at the whole map of Iraq and looked directly at Baghdad, "Natasha, are you ready for my attack?" ”

"Aren't you ready to form a combined fleet?" Su Su suddenly grasped a key point.

"Combined Fleet?" Canglong sarcastically said, "Will it take five years, or ten years, or twenty years?" No, I don't have that much time, I'm going to pit the Russians, not to form some bullshit combined fleet with them, I'm just going to let them help me block the American navy. ”

Su Su was shocked, because even he didn't expect Canglong to calculate so deeply, but he suddenly asked, "What is the east wind you are referring to?" ”

"China." Canglong said, "I went back this time, just hoping that the leaders could fully support me, if they don't support it, then I can only gamble." ”
