Chapter 646: Underwater Contact

readx;

After a "difficult" search, the Iraqi searchers were almost about to give up, but finally discovered that the target they were looking for did not fall on land, but into the Caspian Sea!

They heard that several local residents who had witnessed this situation, these residents were Arabs, and they were very fond of the arrival of the Iraqis, and naturally they were the most credible, they saw the black shadow fall into the waters of the Caspian Sea, more than ten miles away from them, and the time and place were more consistent with the speculation that the blackbird fell, and, after the incident, the surrounding sea water turned over a piece of dead fish, all cooked, as if the temperature was very high.

Therefore, after finding the target area, the Iraqi side immediately notified the Soviet Union and sent people to guard the surrounding waters.

After receiving the news, the Soviet Union immediately sent divers to conduct on-site reconnaissance, because the Iraqi navy was very weak, and as for the divers of the Iraqi navy, they were still in Basra and had not graduated from the naval academy.

The survey work was carried out by the Soviet divers, and after surveying the exact water area, they were going to salvage, and the Soviets felt very lucky, if the plane fell to land, then, I am afraid, all they could get was some fragments, and now, into the water, then, what they got was probably a complete plane!

Thinking about a full-fledged SR-71, the most mysterious reconnaissance aircraft for the USSR, and the MiG-25, an aircraft capable of flying up to three times the speed of sound, the Soviet aeronautical engineer, the chief designer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, itched in his heart. ≦≧

However, even the Iraqi side only temporarily received information about the approximate location of the plane, and they blocked the sea here, and the specific location of the plane fell had to be searched by themselves.

The sale. The Soviet Union still had to use its own strength, but the Soviet Union was already satisfied.

A brigade of Soviet divers arrived here by helicopter, and then, chartering a civilian boat, began to carry out the search work.

Because, to the west of the Caspian Sea, Turkey, they do it. It was to avoid alarming the Americans, and if the Americans knew that the blackbird had fallen here, they would not have given up.

What they don't know is. The U.S. side is also searching for the two missing pilots and the Blackbird.

Whether it was a mechanical failure or not, in short, the blackbird did not fly back, then. ≦≧ there is a possibility of leaks, and although it has been a few months, the Americans have not given up and are still looking for it.

And, in the midst of such a critical moment, the CIA finally got useful intel. They discovered that Iraqi militants had secretly blockaded the waters near Tonqa Bang on the Caspian Sea. By analyzing a large number of satellite pictures and the flight path of the Blackbird at that time, they also came to this conclusion: until now, they have not found the wreckage of the Blackbird, and the Blackbird is likely to have crashed into the Caspian Sea!

Thereupon. The United States also sent its own divers to quietly search the area. Moreover, they are aiming at this blocked sea.

On the sea, the wind and waves are calm, unaffected by any tensions in the Middle East, but underwater, a silent confrontation, is beginning in a tragic way.

In order not to be detected by Iraqi personnel, American divers were launched from an ordinary civilian boat far away from the area, and in order to complete the long-distance dive, they carried three oxygen cylinders on their backs, and used a large underwater water jet propulsion system.

This propulsion system, outwardly, is similar to a torpedo, using the same battery as a torpedo, except that in the rear, in order to prevent scratching the user, a channel waterjet propulsion system is used, and on the outside of the coaxial reversing propeller, there is an outer protective layer. ≦≧

This propulsion system, which can greatly reduce the fatigue caused by divers diving for a long time, can be called their underwater taxi.

Divers wear two flashlights overhead, and although it is still relatively bright underwater, they still need to use this kind of thing to observe more closely at critical times in order to better spot targets.

As they walked, behind them, bubbles bubbled out, and it was their diving device, the scuba scuba, that was spitting out the bubbles.

Scuba, also known as a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, allows people to dive into the water and rely on it to breathe. In seawater, pressure is the worst enemy. For every 10 meters of depth, the water pressure increases by 1 atmosphere. If the air pressure you breathe is higher than the normal air pressure, nitrogen in your blood and tissues is highly concentrated; If the pressure drops rapidly, the nitrogen in the body's organs and blood vessels will have a toxic effect, causing the diver to die. Scuba, on the other hand, gives the diver the ability to breathe air at the same pressure as the air on the ground. The diver's own breathing can be controlled by the amount of regulated air supplied to the scuba and the level of air pressure when entering the lungs, and the diver can dive to a depth of 50-60 meters by wearing a vest with high-pressure air inside. ≦≧

Scuba, fins, and goggles are the equipment of ordinary divers, and for divers who are now in the water, they have also added flashlights, diving watches, underwater water jet propulsion systems, and their essential diving knives.

Underwater is dangerous, and in addition to the possibility of encountering large underwater creatures, they may also encounter unknown other underwater people, and there may be fights.

Under water, the weapons commonly used by human beings, firearms, cannot be used, because the water has a lot of resistance, and the bullets that rotate out will not move a few meters in the water, and they will be greatly deflected because of the action of the water, and then, they will fall into the water below, so the frogmen in the United States, after entering the water, can only use the most common cold weapon of human beings: knives.

Three oxygen cylinders, enough to provide oxygen for several hours, they rushed to the water in the predetermined sea area in forty minutes, searched for an hour, and then returned.

The last group of twenty frogmen had gone back with nothing, and they wished they had better luck.

The underwater waterjet propulsion system in their hands is working at full strength, although the noise is loud, but compared to the noise emitted by the submarine, it is insignificant, at most it can be found within ten meters, which will not be too risky in their visual area. ≦≧

No one is going to sit on such a propulsion system. Although it feels like sitting in a car, it will bring a lot of resistance, and they all pull on the upper handrails, keep their bodies parallel to the underwater propulsion system, and shuttle forward in the water as if they were flying in the sky.

Henry looked around with a worried look in his eyes, he was a special forces member of the Navy SEALs, and this time, he participated in this search mission. However, he is very repulsive to this underwater propulsion system, and he likes to swim freely on his own. And not now, holding those two grips like a walk-behind tractor, and, moreover, this feeling, reminded him of the kind of torpedo submarine of the kamikaze of Riben.

We will soon arrive at our destination. Henry and his teammates raised their minds again, and they turned on their flashlights and watched the situation at the bottom of the sea, hoping to find the U.S. Air Force Blackbird that had fallen into the place in advance.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack and trying to find it. There's got a lot of luck in there.

They don't know that in this sea, there are other frogmen. He is also looking for the whereabouts of the blackbird.

Kochakin's feet swayed nimbly, like a cheerful fish, swimming in the water, and they were conducting a carpet search, searching the bottom of the sea over and over again. I hope you can find out what you're looking for.

Suddenly, Kochagin noticed that there were large strands of bubbles coming out of front of him. His heart suddenly tensed.

Those bubbles, it could be a big fish, it could be a frogman.

Underwater, big fish don't infringe on frogmen, but if the big fish are hungry, they don't care if they are delicious or not. They will be in a certain danger to themselves.

If it's a frogman, it's even worse, because their own frogmen, who use this closed circulatory breathing system, will not have bubbles coming out, and the bubbles that will come out can only be another team of frogmen, and that team of frogmen, most likely the Turkish side.

Kochagin looked at the bubbles in the distance and quickly took out the APS underwater assault rifle he was carrying on his chest.

The Soviet Union spared no effort in military investment, and underwater combat was only a small area of action, but the Soviet Union also made great efforts.

At first, the underwater frogmen of the USSR were armed only with knives and AK rifles. These rifles were only outwardly waterproofed and could only be used on the water, so the only underwater weapon that was effective against enemy frogmen was the diving knife, and the rifle was used only after the frogmen came ashore.

So, on the outskirts of Moscow, an ordinary company called "Tshinitchmasi", whose official name was "Zhongyāngjing Secret Machine Building Institute". The development was carried out by designer Rasimir V. Simonov.

They first developed the pistol used by frogman units on underwater jingling missions, model SPP-1; Equipped with frogman troops, they quickly discovered that this weapon was effective, but it was only suitable for use at a closer distance, and could not attack targets at a longer distance. And so the underwater assault rifle of the more powerful APS was born.

The APS Underwater Assault Rifle is an underwater firearm derived from the AK system, which adopts the principle of automatic gas conduction Cāo, and the rotary bolt is ready to be fired. There is a safe/fast handle on the left side of the receiver with a choice of semi-automatic or fully automatic shè hits. The gas guide system uses patented technology to automatically adjust the air guide hoop, so that the gun can also work properly under or above the water. Aim for non-adjustable notched shone and crosshairs. The telescopic butt is made of steel wire. The most troublesome thing in the whole design of APS is the ammunition feeding mechanism, in order to counteract the effect of water drop, this rifle uses a stainless steel arrow bullet similar to the javelin, an elongated warhead, in order to maximize the impact of water off, this MPS bullet has a slender shape, resulting in a wide front and rear dimensions of the magazine, which is very inconvenient to hold.

Under water, it was definitely the world of Soviet frogmen! It doesn't matter if the other party is a shark or a frogman in the West!

Kochagin prepared his APS assault rifle and met it, the current water depth was forty meters, and his rifle needed to be within eleven meters to be able to penetrate the diving suit of the opposing frogman and inflict fatal damage on them.

Since the resistance of water pressure to the flight of the warhead and the movement of the bolt is different, the shè speed and effective shè range under water depend on the depth at which it is used. (To be continued) RQ
