Chapter 467: The American Aircraft Carrier Arrives
The Iranians, who had little combat effectiveness, suddenly became powerful, and they could fight fiercely with the elite paratroopers of the Soviet Union, and moreover, the weapons in their hands suddenly increased, and now, even field artillery and anti-aircraft missiles are available!
Needless to say, it must be the Americans who are playing tricks behind it! Cut off the black hands of the Americans and buy the Airborne Forces another day!
To this end, the Soviet Union dispatched a strategic bomber force, the size of four regiments, to carry out a wild and indiscriminate bombardment of the borders of Iran and Pakistan! After that, even if the Americans want to use the various mountain paths on the border to shuttle back and forth between Iran and Pakistan, it will be impossible, and those ubiquitous mines will teach Americans how to behave!
When the bombardment was complete, Morenko's troops, and at the same time, were reinforced, marines from the Minsk!
As huge aircraft carriers, both the Kyiv and the Minsk have enough space to accommodate more people, so, each aircraft carrier has a five-hundred-man Marine Corps! This Marine Corps is for the purpose of carrying out various special tasks, and now, knowing that the battle of the Airborne Forces is fierce, the carrier-based helicopters of the aircraft carrier have brought hundreds of marines to build a strong defense line together with the Airborne Forces!
When the bomber force completed the bombing mission, the ground fighting was temporarily subsided, and this Soviet position had already frightened the local Iranians, and if they dared to counterattack the Soviet army, the price would be extremely heavy!
At this time, the confrontation was still going on in the magnificent Arabian Sea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Two MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft, flying 300 kilometers around the aircraft carrier, multifunctional pulse Doppler radar, scanning the surrounding sea surface.
Half an hour ago, reconnaissance satellites once again discovered the traces of the American aircraft carrier formation, a powerful formation of two American aircraft carriers, which was approaching the Soviet aircraft carrier formation!
Since there is no carrier-based early warning aircraft, it can only dispatch valuable MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft, constantly searching the surrounding area, it is already a carrier-based aircraft mounted on air superiority, with unrivaled air combat performance, even in the face of Tomcat fighters, it can also give it a go!
Now, it depends on how much courage the Americans have, and if the Americans really intend to fight a naval battle, the Navy of the Red Empire, will definitely not be afraid!
The Kiev, Minsk, Kirov-class, these large warships carry anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers, which are completely tailor-made nemesis for American aircraft carriers! If the Americans dare to attack, then their own anti-ship missiles will fly like a rain of arrows!
Soon, the pilot Christoph found some obvious targets from his radar screen, at a distance of three hundred kilometers!
In the case of air search, the search range of such a radar will not exceed 150 kilometers to detect targets the size of fighter jets, but the distance to detect those large ships on the sea surface is much farther!
The Americans' aircraft carrier formation is only 600 kilometers away from their own aircraft carrier formation! At this distance, carrier-based aircraft on both sides can launch the first round of strikes!
With Kristoff's report, the atmosphere of the aircraft carrier formation instantly became tense, and the entire formation quickly turned into an air defense formation, with the almighty Kirov class in front, the modern class on both sides, and the dreadnought class and other destroyers on the inside, guarding the two aircraft carriers in the center, and all the air defense missiles were in a state of being able to launch at any time.
Although it is not as famous as the American professional Aegis destroyer, however, the performance of the Soviet anti-aircraft missiles is not lagging behind! Although the firepower channel is less, after all, the saturation attack tactic is used by the Soviet Union to hit the United States, and the United States does not have so many long-range anti-ship missiles, and once the Americans attack, it will definitely be a carrier-based aircraft sortie! The long-range missiles on the Kirov class have a range that is enough to hit American carrier-based aircraft!
And at the end of the formation, a lone submarine was sailing, there was a hole in the bow of this submarine, where the sea swirled in a swirl, and in the bathtub on the roof of the bridge in the middle were several fighters in Soviet water uniforms!
Nonsense, the Americans think beautifully, warships represent the sovereignty of a country, but submarines are definitely not! The attitude of the Soviet Navy towards this submarine that sneakily hid in its own cruising waters was, of course, to completely conquer it!
Just after the submarine surfaced, two Ka-27 helicopters, carrying the fighters of the Marine Corps, flew over the submarine and then raped down.
The Americans were dumbfounded, revolting? No kidding, although they have guns in their hands, but the Soviets have guns in their hands! If they resist at this time, then the Soviets only need to fire a few torpedoes to sink their own submarine to the bottom of the sea!
Submarines are ghosts underwater, and on the surface, submarines are nothing!
As a result, Johnson and others could only watch the Soviets come down, and the reason for these Soviets was very simple, they came to help them! So, with the "help" of the Soviets, the submarine was completely controlled by the Soviets, but fortunately, the Soviets did not tie up the Americans, it was already considered a preferential treatment for them, they were concentrated in the rear power compartment, even if they wanted to do any tricks, they had to think about their own lives, once the reactor leaked, nuclear radiation was not a joke.
The air defense posture was set up, and the two huge water formations were gradually approaching, and just as they continued to approach to 500 kilometers, the US aircraft carrier formation stopped its dangerous behavior of continuing to approach.
"The aircraft carrier group of the Soviets has a total of more than 30 long-range anti-ship missiles, and it is very dangerous for us to get close to within 500 kilometers." On the aircraft carrier USS Independence, the captain of the ship, Colonel Hilton, said.
(Historically, the United States has had two aircraft carriers, one in World War II, which was used as a target ship for nuclear bomb experiments after the war, and the other was the last of the Forrestal-class ships that only started construction in '55.) )
Just a few months ago, the Independence, the Nimitz and the Kitty Hawk, all conducted military operations here, inflicting air strikes on the Iranians, and after the battle, the Kitty Hawk returned to the Far East, and the Independence and the Nimitz also intended to return to their original positions, but were urgently recalled halfway through and rushed to the Arabian Sea at maximum speed.
It's just that although they have arrived now, they have made it difficult for the commanders on the scene in how to act, and even the White House has no clear orders to come over!
Steel collides on the sea, and a large-scale war will break out at any time! Care must be taken, restraint must be carried out, and at the same time, the reputation of the US Navy must not be damaged! (To be continued.) )
