Originally, Rick belonged to the French Air Force, and at the same time, he was also the best at piloting Tomcat fighters, and the number of enemy planes shot down was long enough for two aces. And now, with the end of Pakistan's land war, the future threat of Pakistan will come from the sea, so, after careful consideration, after getting his father's consent, Rick transferred to the HNA and became a pilot of carrier-based aircraft, and at the same time, in order to protect Rick and fulfill his promise to his wife, with the intervention of the old Arslan, Rick became the captain of the flight wing, mainly responsible for tactical formulation, and rarely flew fighters.

With Rick's qualifications, he is enough to command the carrier-based aircraft on the entire aircraft carrier, and after entering the HNA class, Rick has gone through tireless study and is familiar with various tactics of carrier-based aircraft at sea.

This time, with the Indomitable, came to the eastern waters of the bay, this is the first appearance of the Indomitable, and there are Russian counterparts present, we must show our own advantages!

In the distance, the waves are magnificent, and the warships of the Pacific Fleet, flying the Russian tricolor, are also sailing.

"Aircraft carriers in the Soviet era, still with the ideas of the Soviets." "Their aircraft carrier is more like a large, fully functional cruiser," Rick said. ”

From the bridge here, you can see the Minsk riding the wind and waves, judging from the bow part, it is exactly what it looks like a cruiser, especially the giant anti-ship missile on the deck of the front section, which is the SS-N-19, a supersonic anti-ship missile specially tailored for American aircraft carriers.

Similarly, the bridge of the opposing side is very wide, occupying almost the middle of the right side of the deck, so that only the left and rear spaces are left, and the deck is straight.

This layout. As a result, this kind of aircraft carrier is simply impossible to take off and land conventional fighters, only take-off and landing vertical take-off and landing fighters, in order to support the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, the Soviets developed the Yak-38, a rather special vertical take-off and landing fighter.

It's just that this kind of fighter is simply worse than the Harrier fighter, and the Harrier fighter is also equipped with the British and American armies. There are other countries procuring, and this Yak-38. Almost from the very beginning of the ship, there were constant problems, and because the problem of the engine exhaust melting the deck was never solved, most of the time, the Yak-38 stayed on the base on land.

This time it was the same, on the deck of the Minsk, only a few Ka-27 carrier-based helicopters were parked in the circular take-off and landing area, showing their demeanor.

Although the Yak-38 is not very good. But this Ka-27 is very Soviet. The Kamov Design Bureau has been very fond of the layout of coaxial reversal almost from the beginning of its establishment, and the products that come out of the design bureau are almost all of this kind of thing, with two propellers at the top, which counteract the torque of the engine by reversing, so there is no need for the propeller of the tail of the common helicopter, which makes the helicopters of the Kamov Design Bureau look relatively short and stout. And this shape of the Ka-27 was also given the nickname of a snail by NATO.

The length was shortened. However, the height is much higher, and the drag caused by the two rotors is greater, so the maximum level flight speed of this helicopter is not high, and the hangar after boarding the ship must also be specially designed.

So, Rick and Hussein saw each other's aircraft carriers. I can't help but sigh.

"This aircraft carrier, if it is refitted, will be able to have greater combat effectiveness." Hussein said: "Remove the anti-ship missiles from the front deck, add a leaping deck, expand the hangar." I think it can accommodate about 40 fighters, and for aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft are the biggest weapons. ”

It is impossible to add catapults to this kind of aircraft carrier, the boiler was not prepared for the catapult when it was designed, and it was changed to the form of leaping, and the carrier-based aircraft could also take off, as long as it was a fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft, the power would far exceed that of the Yak-38, or this kind of Ka-27.

"Impossible." Rick said on the side: "This kind of aircraft carrier congenital defects, the amount of work to be renovated is not small, almost the same as a new aircraft carrier, and the jumping deck is too space-intensive, which is not conducive to the rapid dispatch of carrier-based aircraft, and the Soviets will really enjoy it, and the bridge is built so tall, if the bridge is reduced, at least two more planes can be parked on the deck." ”

In the Soviet era, the idea was that officials could not live under the deck, they had to live on the bridge, so the bridge was made so big and too much space was wasted.

"Attention units, the exercise has officially begun." The voice of the deputy commander of the Huaxia Navy on the Kunlun came over the radio, who was also the commander-in-chief of the exercise: "Now, the first item of our exercise is to carry out long-range strikes against enemy fleets in the far sea!" Please take off carrier-based AWACS aircraft and fighters from Indomitable, and ask Ka-31 AWACS aircraft from Minsk to jointly search for the enemy fleet at sea ahead. ”

Originally, the Minsk was not equipped with carrier-based AWACS aircraft, and for this exercise, it was specially seconded from the Northern Fleet.

This kind of Ka-31 was developed on the body of the Ka-27, because the Soviet aircraft carrier could not take off and land conventional carrier-based early warning aircraft, so it could only come up with a helicopter early warning method, under the Ka-31, there is a flat phased array radar antenna, which can be scanned down from the sky to find low-altitude sea-skimming fighters and missiles, as well as warships on the sea.

Ordinary multinational navies, even if they hold military exercises, are generally mainly search and rescue, but now, the military exercises of the three countries are aimed at attacking the sea, although the coordination between them is still very poor, and this is a very bad signal.

United States, White House.

Satellites have taken clear pictures of three aircraft carriers appearing at the same time to the east of Wanwan Island, the most spectacular of which is Pakistan's Indomitable.

Who would have thought that Pakistan, which had to introduce even a small patrol boat ten years ago, is now able to produce aircraft carriers on its own! This Indomitable will not be produced in such a short period of time even if it is put in a country like Britain and France, and the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier is not inferior to that of the Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier of the United States.

The battle group composed of these three aircraft carriers is conducting a formation exercise, and one of the main contents of the exercise is to strike at the enemy's fleet!

This is simply a slap in the face of an American.

Bush Sr. turned pale.

The greatest credit of Bush Sr.'s tenure is probably the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, the entire Warsaw Pact no longer exists, and the United States has since become the world's only superpower!

It is precisely with the support of this conviction that the elder Bush was able to unscrupulously pursue the new policy after the Cold War, that is, the beginning of US hegemonism, sending troops to Iraq, overthrowing the Saddam regime, and sending troops to Iran in an attempt to unify the entire Middle East region.

However, Bush Sr. did not expect that when the US military was caught in the bitter war of Iran, the United States was already on fire in its backyard, and China, which had originally come together with the United States because of the threat of the Soviet Union, had now begun to get together with Russia after the disintegration!

The Wanwan incident almost represents the rupture of relations between the United States and China, and now that the two sides have completely collapsed, a new alliance seems to be emerging in East Asia.

If China, Russia, Pakistan, and the three countries come together, it will be the biggest threat to the United States! Russia and China, in particular, are P5 countries.

"The military exercises of these three countries are unusual." Cheney said: "Now that China has broken through the first island chain, our Pacific Ocean will face the threat of the Chinese army at any time. ”

"Huaxia does not have this ability for the time being, Huaxia is still developing the economy, and they do not put the military first." Secretary of State Baker said: "For example, the Huaxia people do not have an aircraft carrier for the time being, and as for the Kunlun, it is just an amphibious assault ship, and China does not have a fixed-wing air force." However, now there is news that Huaxia has taken a fancy to the Ukrainian Varyag and wants to tow this aircraft carrier back to Huaxia and become the real first aircraft carrier in Huaxia. ”

The Varyag, the unfinished aircraft carrier of the Soviet era, which is still in the Black Sea shipyard in Ukraine, has been in a state of shutdown, witnessing the sorrow of the disappearance of a great country.

"Yes, our CIA has also received news that naval officials in China have been to the Black Sea shipyard several times." CIA Director William said.

If according to the development of history, Huaxia really wants to get this Varyag, but unfortunately, now there have been great changes with history, Huaxia has been equipped with the Tomcat as a heavy aircraft in the third generation of aircraft, and the fourth generation of the silent cat has also completed the research and development, the vision of the Huaxia Navy is also long-term, what they need is an aircraft carrier that can catapult and take off fighters, and the Varyag has lagged behind.

Moreover, Pakistan has accumulated a lot of technology to build aircraft carriers, and Huaxia can start building aircraft carriers on its own with the help of Pakistan, and there is no need to buy the second-hand aircraft carrier, which is already backward. The information that the Americans have obtained is nothing more than a fog bomb.

Vice President Dan Quill on the sidelines did not speak, and he has been disheartened lately.

Originally, according to the usual practice, the re-elected Bush Sr. must not be re-elected, historically, President Roosevelt was re-elected for many terms because of World War II, generally speaking, the vice president is the candidate for the next president, which means that Dan Quill should actively plan and prepare for next year's election.

However, Dan Quill knows that the Republican Party will definitely not have a chance this time, and Bush Sr. is already quite lucky that he was not blown away during his term of office. Moreover, even if the next successor comes to power, there are a lot of bad things to do, so Dan Quill gave up the next election and left it to the rest of the party. (To be continued.) )
