Chapter 479: Stationed Tu-22M
If you don't die, you won't die, this is a widely circulated Internet phrase in later generations, in fact, it was first a line in the cartoon Gundam in 85, and now, this sentence is also mentioned when Andrei reported to Moscow, Gromyko felt that this sentence at this time best describes the stupidity of the North Koreans. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Without the aid of the Soviet Union, the DPRK could not do anything, and the DPRK actually used the aid of the Soviet Union to develop its ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons.
If it was before, maybe the Soviet Union would have connived, after all, North Korea was also at the forefront of the Cold War confrontation, but unfortunately, now, it is nothing!
If you don't die, you won't die! Andrei, who commanded in Turkmenistan, received the information that the North Koreans were deliberately pretending to be confused and trying to deceive the pass, and Andrei also spit out such a sentence in his mouth, these North Koreans really have their heads on their buttocks.
In short, Moscow's top brass will definitely impose hot hands in the future, for themselves, North Korea is just a small episode, and the focus is still on fighting the war against Iran!
"Our naval formation is still confronting the Americans at sea, they are obviously not satisfied with the status quo, and are looking for an opportunity to break through, just yesterday, the Americans took off more than 20 carrier-based aircraft, and carried out a provocation at a position of 200 kilometers of our aircraft carrier formation, and our aircraft carrier also dispatched more than 20 carrier-based aircraft, and almost really clashed." The chief of staff of the military district said to Andrei.
Warfare on land also needs battles at sea to cooperate! And at sea, the Soviet aircraft carrier formation is confronting the United States, and the Americans are still complacent about the combat effectiveness of their aircraft carrier formation!
"It seems that it is time for us to get rid of the Americans." Andrei said: "What is the current situation at the air base in Zahedan? ”
Zahedan Air Base! After completely opening up the passage to the south, the military bases along the way were naturally taken over by the Soviet Union, among them, there are three most important air bases, Mashgabat, Kerman and Zahedan! These air bases were quickly controlled by the Soviet army and then refurbished, and the closest of these three air bases to the south is Zahedan Air Base!
"We have restored this base, but the Zahedan base is only a second-line base for the Iranians, and from this base, we have only obtained a squadron of Mirage fighters." The chief of staff said: "Moreover, the hangar at the Zahedan base is relatively small, and it can accommodate a maximum of one flying regiment. ”
Iran's main threat is on the Iraqi border in the west and the Persian Gulf in the southwest, and in the east of Iran, there has always been no conflict, so Zahedan airbase is an absolute second-tier base, and the scale is not large.
"Yes, that's what I want!" Andrei said: "Mobilize a regiment of Tu-22M, stationed here!" ”
Tu-22M? The chief of staff was stunned for a moment: "Our original plan was to transfer the MiG-23 and MiG-29?" ”
Zahedan is close to Pakistan, and in order to guard against the US air force stationed in Pakistan, the Soviet Union urgently needs to improve its air power, so after reorganizing the Zahedan base, it plans to mobilize front-line fighters to station.
Needless to say, the MiG-23 is almost the main fighter of the Soviet Union now, and after modification, its combat effectiveness has increased significantly.
And the other, is the Mikoyan Design Bureau's latest masterpiece, MiG-29, although this fighter is now going through the final stage of finalization, but, for the current war, Mikoyan Design Bureau is full of confidence, in the actual combat to test the performance of this fighter, find deficiencies, to improve, this will make the MiG-29 more sharp, so, in addition to the MiG-23, there will be several pre-production MiG-29 stationed, for this kind of front-line fighter, the airport environment is not terrible.
However, Andrei wanted to let the Tu-22M station, which was not in line with the original plan! There is no longer a need for large-scale bombing missions, so what is the purpose of stationing the Tu-22M?
"But now the situation has changed, and our Tu-22M needs to be equipped with anti-ship missiles to conduct patrol flights in the Arabian Sea." Andrei said: "Their task is to act together with the aircraft carrier aircraft formation and conduct sea attack drills!" ”
Anti-ship missiles! As long as this was heard, the chief of staff already knew Andrei's plan.
The strength of the Soviet aircraft carrier formation is still too small! With the addition of the third aircraft carrier of the United States, the overall situation is unfavorable to the Soviet Union, however, the Soviet aircraft carrier group has already completed the task, they are not engaged in war with the American aircraft carrier group, they are providing ground support, and they have opened up to the port of Chakhbahar, no matter how many aircraft carriers the Americans mobilize over, it will be useless!
Anti-aircraft carrier, the Soviet Union has carried out countless exercises, in the Soviet Union's anti-aircraft carrier operations, land-based aviation will also play a great role, such as the Tu-22M, relying on supersonic penetration, and then using long-range anti-ship missiles, this strategic bomber, is simply specially designed to attack aircraft carriers!
"Yes, it's a naval assault exercise! The time is set for two days! Andrei said: "The area of the exercise is in the Arabian Sea!" ”
Are aircraft carriers awesome? In the face of the saturation attack of the Soviets, everything is scum! Aegis can't stop supersonic anti-ship missiles either!
In the Arabian Sea, the wind and waves are a bit strong.
The bridge of the Nimitz shook slightly, as a warship with the largest displacement in the history of the US Navy, they were still able to maintain their combat effectiveness in such storms, but standing on the tall bridge, Captain Miller was in a somewhat unhappy mood.
The arrival of the Nimitz did not increase the combat effectiveness of the US aircraft carrier group, because they came to replace the Independence, because of a terrible landing accident, which caused the tail deck problem of the Independence, and a number of carrier-based aircraft were affected, it can be said that the Independence has lost its combat capability, and in the past few days, the Independence has been hanging around the sea, just insisting on fooling the Soviets.
Now, with the arrival of the Nimitz, it is time for the Independence to retreat, still a two-aircraft carrier formation, can it balance the Soviets? In the process of arriving, he has been analyzing the battle for several days, and the MiG-23 of the Soviets, as if it has sucked a big MA, has soared in combat effectiveness, and it is on par with his own Tomcat fighters! Although the number of carrier-based aircraft on its own side is large, there are only about 20 Tomcat fighters that specialize in air supremacy.
And now, a new threat has been added, the Tu-22M bombers of the Soviets, which have been stationed at Zahedan airfield! For bombers with a range of more than 5,000 km, the depths of the Indian Ocean are their stage! (To be continued.) )
