Chapter 110: "Sneak Attack" on an Aircraft Carrier

readx;

The main purpose of this exercise is to show the outside world that if the United States really dares to take any action, then the Iraqi Navy will definitely cause the Americans to suffer great losses, so that they will give up the idea of military intervention after weighing it; after all, this time it is they who are here to show off their might and exert pressure, and they do not really want to strike, and the actions of the Arab countries have not completely violated the bottom line of the United States.

When it is really announced that it will use its own currency to settle oil, this is the real bottom line, and when the time comes, the breaking of the dollar oil system and the decline of the United States will be inevitable, and the Americans will definitely launch an oil war for their own interests. At that time, it's your life and death.

Therefore, Qusay definitely doesn't mind showing his blade, and he has to scare the U.S. Navy.

Don't look at the small missile boats, they still have combat effectiveness, and this kind of stealth missile boat of our own side is a magic weapon of Qusay. Of course, what kind of combat capability is depends on how Iraq propagandizes.

Iraq invited military attachés from many countries to observe the largest military exercise of the Iraqi Navy.

With the actions of the Navy, the vast sea exercises have finally begun.

In the Indian Ocean, the mighty formations are moving fast on the magnificent sea.

Two aircraft carriers with large decks, as if they are two steel fortresses on the sea, these are the US Navy's Kitty Hawk conventionally powered aircraft carrier and Carl Vinson nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the dual aircraft carrier battle group, the carrier-based aircraft wing above, is a powerful strike force, two aircraft carriers, 40 F-14 Tomcat fighters, can beat the air forces of many countries to the ground.

On the periphery of the two aircraft carriers, there are more than a dozen warships, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates lined up in turn, and in this, there is the pride of the US Navy, the USS Vincennes missile cruiser of the Aegis system, which provides anti-saturation strike capabilities and specializes in countering the saturation attack tactics of the Soviets.

Under water, there are also two Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines.

This time, they mobilized their troops to go to the doorstep of the Arabs to show off their strength. {{}}

However, on the bridge of the Carl Vinson, Colonel Ted Hale, his eyes were a little solemn.

As the captain of a giant aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons, Ted was definitely not an idle man, he gradually rose from the pilot of the Navy's F-4 fighters, F-14 fighters, and eventually became the captain of this aircraft carrier, under his command, this aircraft carrier created many firsts, for example, once passed through the Bering Strait.

This mission was just a very ordinary mission, however, Ted was a little disappointed, for the first time, they did not achieve an advantage.

The Iraqis preempted the first place, and they actually held military exercises in that area first!

What is the US Navy going to do, where is it going to watch the exercises of the Iraqi Navy? Or are military exercises also conducted there? What should I do if the two sides misfire? Do you really want to use your powerful military power to fight the Iraqi navy?

Iraqis can do anything, Ted remembered the last time the hapless carrier-based pilot on the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk was shot down by the Iraqi Air Force, but fortunately there were no casualties.

As the captain of an aircraft carrier, he is not only a military commander, but also has a great political consciousness, and Ted feels that this operation is very important and very difficult. {{}}

The hull of the ship is a little shaky, and the bridge is particularly shaking due to its relatively high position, but the soldiers on the aircraft carrier, who have undergone various trainings and often drift in the sea for the first half of the year, are very accustomed to it, and their bodies are shaking with the floor while maintaining their body balance.

They needed to get to the exercise area quickly, but at this time, a storm appeared over the Indian Ocean.

At the time of design, aircraft carriers had the ability to resist wind and waves of the twelfth, but, in general, they tried to avoid sailing in tenth-level sea conditions.

Now, the main force of the storm has passed, the aftermath is still there, and it is now a level 6 gale, and in this case, it will not affect the navigation of the warship in the slightest.

The wave height is three meters, and in this kind of huge *, aircraft carriers with a displacement of 100,000 tons are sailing leisurely, while other 10,000-ton cruisers are better, and destroyers and frigates of several thousand tons have more shaking.

"Now, we are 1,500 kilometers away from the Gulf of Oman, and at the current speed, we can reach our exercise area in 30 hours. {{}}," the co-captain said to Ted.

Fifteen hundred kilometers, remembering that tomorrow, the Arabs will have a drill, and now, in any case, they will not be able to arrive in advance.

"Order the formation, speed up." Ted said.

Now, their formations are sailing at economic speeds, and if they sail at top speed all the time, they will quickly consume their precious fuel.

Although the maximum speed of various warships is around 30 knots, however, it is possible to sail at such a speed only in specific cases, in which case the fuel is consumed in alarming numbers. In normal sailing, the economic speed of about 20 knots is adopted.

Even so, the aircraft carrier formation had to replenish fuel at an interval of about a week, and on their formation, two large supply ships followed.

But now, it is no longer possible to skimp on your own fuel consumption.

Speed up!

After Ted and the captain of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier next to him reported the news, the entire formation decided to speed up the formation. {{}}

Qeshm base.

Each plane has seven external hardpoints, the inner wing pylons are mounted on two anti-ship missiles produced by Iraq, the outer pylons and the pylon under the belly, each carrying an auxiliary fuel tank, and the wingtips carrying short-range missiles. One of them also carried reconnaissance camera equipment.

This time, they will carry out an important flight mission since the return of the J-7!

Just half an hour ago, Iraq's reconnaissance system, satellites in space, discovered information about the United States' twin aircraft carrier formation sailing at sea, and President Qusay, after careful consideration, agreed to this bold simulated attack plan, letting the Americans know that from now on, in the Arabian Sea, they are no longer showing off their might.

With the very successful operation of the first resource satellite, Iraq reinvested in a total of four reconnaissance satellites, which initially constituted a surveillance platform.

As a result of this American operation, Iraq adjusted the orbit of the satellites, flew over the area where the US Navy appeared, and finally, found their traces.

Although the aircraft carrier is very large, from the perspective of space, it is about the same probability as finding ants on the ground, and Iraqi satellites repeatedly swept over the sea, focusing on monitoring the possible route of the US aircraft carrier, and finally found the target.

At this time, the two aircraft carrier formations of the US Navy were still 1,600 kilometers away from the Qeshm Island base. This distance is the maximum combat radius of the J-7 fighter.

This distance is absolutely safe, and the Americans would never have thought that the Iraqis would dare to take the initiative to provoke them, and at such a distance, there are still six-level winds in the sea, but this also increases the possibility of their success.

This is a simulation, and maybe next time, it will be a real battle.

Although the American aircraft carrier formation is so invincible and seems to be invincible, in later generations, it was teased by the Russian Aerospace Forces, which had almost become emaciated camels, and the Su-27 and Su-24 fighters easily broke through the impregnable defensive circle declared by the Americans and appeared over their heads. At that time, the big scandal was the Kitty Hawk.

What the Russians can do, the Iraqi Navy can do, and the young Iraqi naval aviation is going to work a miracle.

Future warfare is already a system of confrontation, satellites, pre-jing aircraft, reconnaissance planes, through the C3I system, form an intelligence whole, warships, fighters, submarines, coordinated strikes, this is the future combat style.

The flight of the J-7 will take more than an hour, and in this more than an hour, the opponent's aircraft carrier battle group will already be able to move a distance of about 50 kilometers, so the J-7 will take off now, and the target will be to follow the possible position of the US aircraft carrier battle group, and after 50 minutes, Iraq's next satellite will also fly over the sky to detect the position of the US aircraft carrier battle group in advance.

Although the danger of this operation was great, seeing the confident expressions of this group of pilots, Major General Saad knew that there was no need to say anything about agitation, they just had to act. Still, he said something.

"Last time, you cubs blew off my hat, this time, you want to blow off the American's hat!"

Although Saad was furious last time, in the end, it was the thunder that was loud and the rain was small, so that after they wrote a deep examination, even if it was over, these bold guys were not grounded.

"Yes!" Imad replied.

Stepping onto the cockpit, making all kinds of preparations before takeoff, and filling with fuel, the J-7 fighter, which was already nearly 27 tons, began to glide on the runway.

The two-wheeled landing gear left the runway, retracted into the belly, and the four J-7s began their journey.

The biggest difficulty in flying at sea is the line between sea and sky, and all the sea water in sight is endless. In this case, they firmly believe that the instrument is the right choice, and this time, they have been flying at ultra-low altitudes.

Moreover, on their fighters, a new type of navigation system, the onboard receiver of the GLONASS satellite navigation system, is loaded!

At present, after Iraq's capital investment, the Soviet Union's satellite navigation system has finally been networked, and various military and civilian receivers developed by Iraq have also begun to be put on the market, and the first batch to be used is the Iraqi army. (To be continued.)
