Chapter 1011: The Polar Bear's Counterattack (Part II)
Now in the Crimea region, Russia has gathered at least 5 heavy divisions, all of which are more than 15,000 personnel of the A division, and the US Marine Corps has a total of four divisions, and now three have been mobilized here, as well as other logistics units of the Marine Corps and aviation combined, the entire US Marine Corps of 190,000 to 200,000 troops have mobilized about 150,000 troops concentrated in the Crimea region.
In addition, the U.S. Marine Corps has a total of 38,000 and nearly 40,000 reserve troops, and it is said that Obama has issued a presidential order to transform all of them into full-fledged Marines, and has begun training and upgrading weapons and equipment, and the original reserve has even begun to re-recruit.
Counting the U.S. Navy and the famous 101st Airborne Division that the United States rushed here, the troops gathered in this area are close to 250,000, and the Russian troops here are more than 300,000, of which about 50,000 troops control one-third of the Crimea region, and the remaining 250,000 people are supported through the Kechi Strait.
And now the engineering units on both sides have begun to build fortifications, which is clearly a situation of permanent confrontation, and the large-scale counterattack of Russia that Yang Yiwei was waiting for did not finally intercept the relevant information until the fourth day, "This Putin is ruthless." Yang Yiwei flipped through the battle plan in his hand, and almost dropped his jaw, the original Russian counterattack plan did not come over on time, Yang Yiwei thought that Russia was not ready to do it, but it seems that this is obviously a lack of strength in the early stage!
According to Konishi's monitoring. Taking advantage of the gap between Russia's mobilization of troops, a total of 500 of the latest Bastion-PI shore-to-ship missiles have been mobilized to the Russian-controlled Crimea region and the Russian mainland on this side of the Kechi Strait, with a maximum range of more than 400 kilometers, and two of the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the United States are within this range, and there are also 50 of the latest T-50 stealth fighters of the Russian Air Force, which are also preparing to launch a surprise attack with the latest anti-ship missiles. It is important to know that the price of this anti-ship missile, even if it is used in the country, is at least about 5 million US dollars, and the cost of Russia's latest Bastion anti-ship missile will reach at least 7 million US dollars.
500 pieces, that is, more than 3 billion US dollars, just took it out and played? And that's counting the air-launched anti-ship missiles. That's a lot of money! Yang Yiwei doesn't know what's wrong with Putin, haven't you seen the United States in the past few days and dared to throw missiles on a large scale? It's not that there isn't, but I can't afford to throw it away, if I just throw it down, when will it be a head. And don't dare to go too far.
In just four or five days, the military expenditures of both sides have approached at least $10 billion. The American Tomahawk cruise missile, although, is said to be cheaper than the anti-ship missile. But that also has a cost of close to $1 million, and the Tomahawks thrown out in the past few days are almost close to $1 billion, and together with the number of fighters lost, that is a huge number.
This is the status quo of modern warfare, and this is really throwing money at it, and Obama's determination this time is really great, because you must know that the domestic media in the United States has recently been under the control of the FBI to promote in favor of the government. But there are still many people and TV stations protesting, and a war with another superpower is not good news, not to mention that the United States has almost reached the total casualties of the past few wars within a few days of the start of the war! More than 2,500 American soldiers were killed!
Fortunately, because the American army was attacking, there were not many captured American soldiers. But even so, this is very unacceptable in the United States! When did the US military suffer such great losses.
"Do you think we're going to stir things up?" Yang Yiwei finished flipping through the calculations in his hand, don't look at the number of these anti-ship missiles is not much, but the flight altitude of these anti-ship missiles can even fly at an altitude of less than 10 meters! At such an altitude, even the Aegis of the United States is only less than 70 kilometers away, but these 500 latest Bastion anti-ship missiles all use ramjet engines, and the whole process is a supersonic anti-ship missile, and in the field of supersonic anti-ship missiles, even the reaction time of Aegis is only a chance to launch a round of interceptor missiles.
Because its speed is almost 1 kilometer per second, 70 kilometers is a little more than a minute, and even if the radar scanning is not powerful, the distance is even shorter, even if there is an early warning aircraft in the air, it is unknown how much this distance can increase.
Mainly the unique environment here gives Russia such an opportunity to attack, as we all know, although Russia is not the opponent of the United States in terms of aircraft, but in terms of missiles, Russia has always been a leader in this area, even the United States has barely kept up with Russia's footsteps for the time being, when the former Soviet Union in this area in order to confront the United States aircraft carriers, but a lot of effort was put into it, which produced a huge technical reserves, such as the famous aircraft carrier killer SS-N-19 anti-ship missile, This thing was named a shipwreck by a European country!
From this name, it can be seen how much both Europe and the United States are afraid of it, and now, although many of Russia's submarine-launched and air-launched anti-ship missiles do not have the possibility of launching, this shore-to-ship missile has a place to use. The most important thing is that this environment makes this missile more powerful, because basically the entire Black Sea is within its attack range, and the other is that the United States does not dare to attack the Russian mainland for fear of a full-scale war. This is not in the interests of the United States, and in such a situation, Russia can calmly deploy such missiles close enough to exemplify it.
If you are facing a confrontation on the ocean, for example, launching an anti-ship missile with a relatively large body of a full supersonic ramjet engine requires a Kirov cruiser, or a submarine, and the air-launched supersonic missile must be carried by the aircraft, but now the American early warning aircraft is not vegetarian, and if it is above the ocean, the maximum warning distance of an aircraft carrier battle group in the United States is 1000 kilometers, and if you find your warship at this distance, there will be an aircraft interception long ago, It is impossible to give you the opportunity to launch this anti-ship missile close to you.
It can only be said that Russia occupies this day and place, and it depends on whether the US Aegis is as powerful as it boasts, Yang Yiwei now thinks about whether to tell Russia the reason why the United States has a total of the Crimea region, if you tell Russia, so that Russia can also control it, Stalin back then was very crazy, and the ghost knows whether Putin, who was born in the KGB, has the same crazy factor, this thing annoys him, and if he really launches a missile carrying a nuclear warhead, then the fun will be great.
"You decide to provoke trouble, but I can give you an analysis, if Russia really launches these 500 missiles, then the United States will definitely be unlucky, not to mention anything else, the data of these missiles, I probably scanned it, and it can be deduced, its launch weight is about 6 tons, the warhead is loaded with 700 kg of high explosives, the cruising speed is Mach 2.5, and the sprint attack speed of the last 30 kilometers is Mach 4! The maximum firing range can reach about 500 kilometers, and its radar is quite advanced, it can automatically analyze the US ship formation, looking for the most valuable ship attack, according to the US military's current three aircraft carrier battle groups together to calculate the formation, they can intercept 300 missiles in the first wave at most, and the remaining 200 anti-ship missiles can do half of it under the second wave of sparrows and phalanxes, and 100 anti-ship missiles with a charge of more than 750 kg rush into the aircraft carrier formation...... Gee. Konishi sighed a few times and stopped talking.
"It's crazy." Yang Yiwei couldn't help but say to himself, sincerely, to be honest, Russia has so many anti-ship missiles that even Yang Yiwei didn't expect, this thing is not a nuclear weapon, why don't you have so many reserves? Generally speaking, one or two hundred pieces in a country are about the same, don't think that this thing is very easy to build, the cost of anti-ship missiles is notoriously expensive, not to mention that it is still a supersonic anti-ship missile, the cost is estimated to exceed 10 million US dollars according to the data that Konishi said.
500 is $5 billion! Russia's current economy currently spends about $100 billion a year on its military, and it is not easy to squeeze out this money.
"It was made recently, and most of these missiles were shipped for no more than three months, and it is clear that Russia is in control of the Crimea region, and the attitude of the European Union and the United States has made Russia prepare in advance, and they know that it is impossible for the fleet in the Black Sea to stop the American aircraft carrier battle group, so the appearance of these anti-ship missiles can be understood." Konishi shook his head.
"Pass this message to Russia." Yang Yiwei thought about it, and directly pointed to a piece of information and said to Xiaoxi.
"Aren't you adding fuel to the fire for what?" Xiaoxi looked at Yang Yiwei with some surprise, if the news of the United States' occupation of the Crimea region was told to Russia, wouldn't this add fuel to the fire? Maybe the number of missiles attacked by Russia has increased again!
"No, you don't understand this, although the intensity of Russia's attack may not be reduced, but adding fuel to the fire may not, at least Putin can calm down and give us time to find that special material." Yang Yiwei said with a smile, "Knowing the news, Russia will definitely not let the United States get these things so easily, but large-scale missile bombardment and the like may not come, and the next estimate is a contest between the ground forces of the two sides, and it is estimated that Russia will reach some agreements with the United States through a third country." ”
"I don't understand." Konishi shook his head. (To be continued......)
