Chapter 797: Sunburn Anti-Ship Missile
Now, it is already night, the streets of Washington are still noisy, people from the free world are enjoying the nightlife to their heart's content, and the American economy has finally begun to improve under the stimulation of shale oil. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the White House, standing in front of the window of the White House, silently lighting a cigar, Reagan still could not calm his mood.
When he won the election, defeated Carter, and was re-elected president, Reagan was full of confidence and wanted to lead the United States out of the shadow of the Carter era and continue to play a leading role in the Western world. But what about now? Everything is drifting away!
It is obvious that the Soviet Union is making trouble behind this war in Argentina, but now the United States has never publicly accused the Soviet Union, and even the United States is trying its best to downplay the influence of the Soviet Union!
Because, the Soviets also had a huge aircraft carrier formation! The Soviet Union has already begun to compete with the United States for sea power! The United States is gradually becoming weaker, not only on land, but now, even at sea, the United States is beginning to become weaker! The United States does not have a huge economic base, they cannot send more fleets!
Although the greater reason for the defeat of the first operation in the South Atlantic was the light enemy of the navy, if the United States had sent a battle group composed of three aircraft carriers at that time, it would have been enough to support the victory of the entire war with absolute force! But what about now? After a day of arguing at the top level, the plan was finalized and the second aircraft carrier battle group was dispatched!
I hope that the war on the Falklands will go smoothly, after all, the economic situation of our own side is already terrible!
Shale oil is not a panacea, in Europe, the United States is facing a serious backlog of electronic products, and the high-tech advantage that the United States is proud of is now gradually being lost!
America, what else can there be? If the U.S. economy can't recover quickly, then the U.S. will be like Britain at the beginning, its strength will continue to weaken, after World War II, Britain still has a huge ocean-going fleet, and now? Britain doesn't even have a decent aircraft carrier! Now, in the quarrel in Congress, it is impossible for the United States to even dispatch three aircraft carrier battle groups at the same time! When did the United States of America fall to this point?
How sad!
What is the reason for the repeated deterioration of the situation in the United States? I hope I don't hear any more bad news, end this damn war, help the British recapture the Falklands, and then, the United States can exploit the oil around the Falklands, although the reserves are not very large, but now, the United States will never give up any oil base.
At the beginning, the United States agreed to send troops, and with an additional condition, it was also to exploit the oil around the Falklands!
The night gradually deepened, and when the roar of an airplane's engine was heard on the sea in the distance, and the sound of a ship crossing the water, on the oil ******** on the sea, Cruise turned on the lights on the entire oil platform, and in an instant, the entire oil platform was like a lighthouse, and the lights were brilliant.
At this time, standing on the railing, Cruise could also see that a monster that looked like an airplane and a ship appeared on the sea in the distance, and at this time, this monster was sliding on the sea, and the speed was getting slower and slower, and when it approached his own oil platform, the speed was still not low.
With only two engines left, the monster kept approaching and approaching the oil platform.
"Flower-tailed pigeon No. 1, flower-tailed pigeon No. 1, here is No. 2 ********, please pay attention to the speed, pay attention to the speed!" With the radio in hand, Cruise shouted to the other side.
Soon, a voice came from inside: "Don't worry, there is no problem." ”
Soviet captains, always so arrogant! Cruise looked at the ground effect aircraft, rushing towards the lower part of his ********, and couldn't help but worry, damn it, it won't crash, right?
At this moment, I saw that the other party was slowing down rapidly, and it turned out that the opponent's engine was equipped with the same thrust reverser device as the plane!
As the speed continued to decrease, this ground effect aircraft successfully drilled into the lower part of the oil platform!
The oil platform has to undertake offshore drilling, to have living quarters for personnel, to have oil storage devices, and at certain intervals, there are oil tankers to come and take the oil away, so the size of the oil platform is not small, and now, this ground effect aircraft drills in, and from the sky, nothing can be exposed.
"What about our Argentine brothers?" When the hatch was opened from the inside of the ground-effect aircraft, the ladder had already been lowered on it, and the captain (or the captain?) He shouted to the top: "We are running out of time, we must let our Argentine brothers learn how to operate quickly!" ”
"Thanks to our Soviet friends!" At this time, there were some more Argentines on it, and the other party shouted while climbing down the ladder.
Standing on the top of the wide ground-effect aircraft, looking at these huge cylinders, Argentine Navy Captain Carlos Macetans was thrilled. He will be the commander of this huge ground effect aircraft to attack the aircraft carriers of the Americans!
"These are our anti-ship missiles, right?" Macetans asked.
"Yes, these missiles are in good condition in the launch box, they can be stored for a year and a half, just re-test before use, this missile has an effective range of 120 kilometers, as long as we get close to the target within 100 kilometers, we can attack, as for its power, a 10,000-ton warship will definitely be sunk." The Soviet captain said: "Now, come down with me, and we will learn the specific operation, in fact, it is almost the same as flying an airplane." ”
Sunburn anti-ship missiles! Soviet code name 3M80, Western code name SS-N-22, in later generations, once with the introduction of the modern class to the Chinese Navy, is well known by the majority of military fans, this missile was also known as the aircraft carrier killer at that time, although it is purely the YY of military fans, it is also exciting enough, because, the power of this missile is incomparable!
This missile, developed in the mid-70s, was the first practical supersonic anti-ship missile in the USSR to use an integral combined ramjet engine, which may be somewhat outdated in later generations, but now it is definitely impossible for the American defense system to intercept! At their current level, being able to intercept subsonic Exocet is already good!
Historically, this missile was officially put into service in 84, however, with the development of the Soviet Navy, the development of this missile has also been completed ahead of schedule, and along with the modern class, it will be equipped with the naval forces of the Soviet Union. It can be considered the newest anti-ship missile of the USSR!
However, now they are left to the Argentines without worrying about leaks, and now they remain on the offshore oil platform, which was already under the care of the Soviets. And once they strike, they will either be sunk or the missiles will be shot out. There will be no physical objects left, and besides, the Argentines will never dare to disassemble the missiles to look at them, and if they are damaged, they will not be there!
The historical model was only 90 kilometers in the early days, and now, it is already a model with a range of 120 kilometers, of course, this type of anti-ship missile, against the United States aircraft carrier is still insufficient, you know, the American aircraft carrier, relying on Tomcat carrier-based aircraft and E-2 early warning aircraft, has a defense radius of 500 kilometers! This kind of thing should be intercepted by the Americans before it reaches the range of the missile.
However, the P-500 Granite anti-ship missile, which has a range of more than 700 km, is the core equipment of the Soviet Navy and is absolutely impossible to give to the Argentinees. Moreover, although the range is not far, it is also three times the range compared to Exocet! Now it's not the afterlife, there are still plenty of opportunities for this missile!
It is impossible for the Americans to be on high alert at all times, otherwise, how did Andrei fly the MiG-25 and fly over the aircraft carrier formation of the Americans back then? There are many opportunities, as long as you find an opportunity, you can incur the death of the American aircraft carrier!
Moreover, although the missile is not powerful enough in terms of range, the platform is powerful enough, this ground effect vehicle, with high speed and large bomb load, is simply specially prepared for American aircraft carriers! (To be continued.) )
