Chapter 481: Hurricane Missile
Bandar Abbas, a port in southeastern Iran, the capital of Hormuzgan province. Located on the northern shore of the Gulf of Hormuz www.biquge.info chokes the exit of the Persian Gulf, with the islands of Gersham and Hormuz as barriers. Location is extremely important.
Historically, King Abbas built the port as the main port of Iran in 1623, but over time, the earth gradually accumulated and the water became shallow, and by the 18th century it was reduced to a small port, replaced by the port of Bushehr in western Iran. Now, with the Iran-Iraq war, the ports on the Persian Gulf coast were paralyzed by Iraq's attack, so Iran began to build a new port west of Abbas City, which became an important port for Iran in later generations.
It guards the Strait of Hormuz, an important golden waterway, and whoever occupies it can control the entire Middle East!
Moreover, since there are two islands outside as a barrier, this is also suitable as a port for large warships such as aircraft carriers, preventing them from being attacked in the first place, which is more suitable than the port of Chakhbahar!
Now, Bandar Abbas, like a piece of fat, is waiting for the Soviet Union to swallow it in one bite!
How big the horizon is, how broad the heart is, how can a small southward passage satisfy the appetite of the Soviets!
The twin aircraft carrier formation, last night, quietly left the original waters, at maximum speed, in the direction of Bandar Abbas! After dawn, it has sailed into the Strait of Hormuzgan!
Take off, take off! The two aircraft carriers, each with fifteen MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft, rushed towards the port.
At this time, the navy of the Iranians, apparently unaware of the Soviet attack, was a thousand kilometers away from Iraq, and Iraqi planes were rarely able to fly here, and for them it was safe.
East of Bandar Abbas, radar station.
The radar antenna was rotating, and several radar soldiers were sitting vigilantly in front of the radar screen, looking at the bright lines that were turning on it, as soldiers of the Revolutionary Guards, their consciousness was very high.
However, after a night on duty, they were obviously very tired, and now, when the shift was about to be handed over, everyone's hearts were very relaxed.
"Damn, what's that?" At this moment, a radar soldier suddenly noticed a bright spot flickering on the screen.
"Oh shit, that's a plane, quick, sound the alarm!" There was a bright spot on the sea, which meant that a fighter plane flew over from that side! In that direction, it is definitely not your own plane!
Alert! A radar soldier picked up the phone and wanted to report to his superiors quickly, but at that moment, a loud roar came from outside.
"Boom!" A Kh-25MP anti-radiation missile, falling from the belly of the MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft, ignited by a ramjet engine, and at a speed of Mach 3, soared for more than ten seconds, and it had close contact with this radar station!
A 1-ton warhead is enough to turn everything here into ruins! At this point, the alarm hasn't gone out yet!
The battle is on!
The explosion here stunned the warships moored in the harbor. On a berthing in the west, on an Iranian Babur-class destroyer with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, the sailors who had been brushing their teeth on the deck in the morning raised their heads in surprise and looked at the explosion on land over there.
"There's an air strike, quick, get back to your position!" At this moment, the captain's voice rang out throughout the ship.
There are air raids! The sailors threw down their tooth cups and ran towards their positions.
Hurry, hurry!
The officers and men in the engine room pressed the start button, but unfortunately, the old boiler was ignited until the third time, and then black smoke finally came out and caught fire!
It's just that it will take some time to heat the boiler, and during this time, their warship will not be able to move!
Backup generators are working, providing some power to the warship.
The missile crew also rushed to their combat positions, and the four "standard" SM-1MR box-to-air missile launchers began to rotate, aiming at the airspace outside, but at this time, their own radar had not yet found the target!
Thirty kilometers away, Joseph piloted his fighter plane and pulled it up from an ultra-low altitude.
Flying on the surface of the sea, close to the surface of the sea, is the basic quality of almost every carrier-based aviation, and after taking off from an aircraft carrier, for a distance of only 200 kilometers, there is no need to worry about any fuel consumption.
Now, close enough, Joseph pulled up his fighter, and at the same time, with the flip of a button with his right hand, under the wing, the television seeker of a Kh-29 missile was activated.
As the most advanced air-to-surface missile of the Soviet Union that was put into service last year, the KH-29 was the first to enter the naval aviation equipment sequence, this missile compared with the previous model, the volume is greatly reduced, the weight is also reduced a lot, very suitable for carrier-based aircraft such as the MiG-23K, at the same time, this precision-guided weapon, will greatly improve the attack effect.
There are two types of missiles: a television seeker and a laser semi-active seeker, and now, with such good meteorological conditions, the television seeker can play a good role.
On the monitor in the cockpit, the picture captured by the TV seeker was updated synchronously, and the warship of the Iranians in the harbor was vividly visible.
How? The Babur-class with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons of the Iranians is still in the port? Joseph was stunned for a moment, it is said that this Iranian warship with the largest displacement has been killed by its own anti-ship missiles?
Pointing the TV camera at the warship, Joseph was just about to press the launch button when he saw a magnificent picture.
Sixty kilometers away, a Hyundai-class destroyer that broke away from the formation and approached the vicinity of the port, 100 seconds ago, launched a 3M80 anti-ship missile, and the smoke covered the entire Hyundai-class warship, and its mission was to destroy the largest warship of the Iranian Navy!
It did not rely on over-the-horizon radar, there were too many warships in the port, and it had to find the target accurately, so a Ka-27 helicopter assumed the guidance of the anti-ship missile, dragging a blazing tail flame, and the Sunburn anti-ship missile flying at a supersonic speed of Mach 2.2 has come to the side of the Babur class!
Black smoke is still rising, the Babur-class boiler is in the process of pressurizing, and on the radar screen, two targets have appeared, one in the middle and one in the low altitude!
Anti-ship missiles!
At this time, there was no need for radar, and on the bridge, the captain had already seen the anti-ship missile that was rushing over!
The four-ton large missile, flexibly doing an S-shaped maneuver on the sea surface, is a means of breaking through the final defense, the titanium alloy shell shines in the sun, almost the light of this moment, the Sunburn anti-ship missile, has already had close contact with the Babur class!
