Chapter 195 Aircraft carriers taking off and landing MiG-25
Although I don't know all kinds of technical performance data, the United States can also guess some of it, for example, this kind of heavy interceptor, the take-off weight must be more than 30 tons, and from the analysis of the airfoil, the take-off and running distance that the other side needs is definitely not short! With the usual level of technology of the Soviets, it should be more than a thousand meters!
It is quite difficult to take off and land carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers, the previous propeller aircraft, the speed required for take-off is small, so it can take off by its own power, and in the era of jet aircraft, it is necessary to rely on outside help, the British invented the catapult, and in the hands of the Americans have been perfected, and now, the United States has become the only country that has mastered modern jet catapult technology!
The powerful American Tomcat carrier-based aircraft with a full load weight of almost thirty tons! Every time you take off, you need to adjust the power of the catapult to the maximum, and the MiG-25, which is almost the same level as the Tomcat, does not have a catapult, how did the Soviets do it?
Colonel Steve turned his gaze to the picture in front again, the aircraft carrier of the Soviets is a nondescript guy, the first half is completely a cruiser structure, it must not take off from the bow, it can only be the deck on the side of the ship, it seems that the other party is going to take off by the jumping deck at the front of the beveled deck!
It's so surprising that I used to think that the Leaping Deck was only used for take-off and landing ********, but the Soviets cleverly used it to take off and land heavy fighters!
"Could this be a cover?" Colonel Steve said: "This Kiev class went around the world from Europe and came to the Far East, and we observed all the way. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't find that this warship could take off the MiG-25, why did it suddenly appear now? ”
Colonel Steve has brains. After all, this is too unreasonable, maybe it was a smoke bomb set off by the Soviets.
"yes. The CIA also had such speculation, but this photo was taken by accident, and the Soviets did not know that our satellite had adjusted its orbit half an hour before the shooting, so we were more worried that the Soviets' aircraft carrier could indeed take off and land the MiG-25, which had always confused us and made us think that this aircraft carrier could only carry goods like blacksmiths. Colonel Ted's words were tinged with concern: "Once there is a real war, the Soviets can use the MiG-25 fighters to establish an advantage in one fell swoop." ”
Right now. The U.S. Navy generally despises the Soviet Navy, especially in the middle of the ocean, the Soviet ship formation without fixed-wing aviation has only been beaten in front of the U.S. aircraft carrier formation, even with a fighter like the Red Blacksmith, the U.S. Navy has not looked at it squarely, is that thing a fighter?
So, if there is really a war. The US Navy's early warning aircraft can fly within 200 kilometers of the opponent's aircraft carrier formation and can monitor the opponent's every move! And even this is already a tactic being developed by the US Navy! This time, in order to give the Soviet Navy a little color, let them know that they actually dared to break away from the cover of land-based aviation. What kind of abuse will come to the ocean to find trouble!
Now that I think about it, this tactic is a bit of a stretch. If the aircraft carrier of the Soviets can really take off the MiG-25, then after the other side takes off. Immediately climb high, and you will almost chase the E-2 and hit. Moreover, their own Tomcat fighters cannot achieve absolute superiority in front of the MiG-25!
Especially in the last air battle in Hokkaido, the Soviets exposed new weapons, and the MiG-25 was able to attack at a distance of 90 kilometers! The last surprise attack caused the Kitty Hawk to lose two Tomcat fighters, which also made the pilots change color.
In the past, it was not observed that the MiG-25 launched a missile from a distance of thirty kilometers, and the Immortal Bird missile had an absolute advantage in range, who knew that the Soviets were catching up so fast!
Of course, the Americans did not know that the last time they participated in the war was the latest MiG-31, which had a phased array radar and long-range missiles, and the MiG-25 was still the original combination, and found that the altitude and speed characteristics of the aircraft were consistent, so it was summarized as the MiG-25, or a deformation of the MiG-25.
In short, if your own aircraft carrier formation really faces the opponent's MiG-25, then it will be left with a numerical advantage, and use the number to make up for the gap? That's definitely not in line with your own strategy!
Steve felt an incomparably headache, could it be that the battle group composed of his two aircraft carriers was going to be cowardly in front of that nondescript guy?
"Whether it's a conspiracy of the Soviets or not, we'll find out if we try." Colonel Ted said: "The Soviets' MiG-25 does not have a high combat radius of less than 1,000 kilometers, as long as we wait until the Soviets' aircraft carriers come to their scheduled exercise area, we will see if they can take off and land the MiG-25." ”
Colonel Ted already had a plan in mind, the Soviets' scheduled exercise area was thousands of kilometers away from Hokkaido, and the MiG-25 would definitely not be able to take off from land, so as long as the MiG-25 appeared on the Soviets' aircraft carrier formation, it definitely proved that the Soviets had deployed this kind of powerful fighter on the aircraft carrier.
If that's the case, you really have to retreat, and you can't easily clash with the other side.
Fortunately, they were the first to discover the tricks of the Soviets. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Colonel Ted already thought that this news was correct, and remembered that the MiG-25 appeared on the aircraft carrier of the Soviets in the future, it was simply a nightmare for his side. Moreover, the Soviets have also begun to build aircraft carriers on a large scale, one after another.
Just when the Americans had a headache, the naval formations of the USSR, riding the wind and waves, had already sailed into the Pacific Ocean.
Over the years, the Soviet Union's national strength has reached its peak, and naval construction has also continued to develop, and in terms of total tonnage, the Soviet Union has reached 3 million tons, while the United States is 3.6 million tons, which is about the same.
And as a naval soldier of the Red Empire, he is also very proud and proud, and every soldier in the entire formation has infinite emotion in his heart, this sortie must strike hard at the arrogance of US imperialism!
High on the bridge, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Durt-Sbilidnov, looked serious.
This mission, General Durt took the initiative to ask for it, and when he heard Andrey's plan, he was already very much looking forward to it, if the plan can be successful, the top management will definitely pass the creation of a real fixed-wing aircraft carrier! Now it's up to the top to see what kind of aircraft carriers the Soviet Navy needs! (To be continued.) )
