With a pointed nose, a huge fuselage behind it, and rectangular air intakes on both sides are also extremely large, Soviet weapons always exude a violent aesthetic.

Behind the nose, the fuselage is slender, and the wings on both sides can be turned backward at any time, this is a fighter with variable swept wings, and the tall single vertical tail shows the identity of this aircraft.

Soviet Tu-22M variable-swept wing bomber!

Although it is only one suffix from the Tu-22, in fact, these are two completely different bombers, which were completely developed.

At the same time, its two BD-45F pylons are mounted on two huge missiles, and the missiles look very large, just like a small airplane.

At this time, the bomber had been filled with fuel, and the entire fuselage had reached a terrible weight of 110 tons, and this kind of aircraft was the most feared attack weapon, and NATO gave it a code name, called Backfire.

At this time, the Backfire bomber was preparing for takeoff.

This huge bomber requires a crew of four, and they all know how difficult the mission of this flight is, so to speak, they are almost gone.

However, they had no choice, and when they learned that their entire bomber regiment had been blown up by the British, they knew that they wanted to retaliate, and they must retaliate!

The aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth must be sunk and its sailors be buried together for their own sacrifices!

"Everyone should be prepared to put a few extra layers of diapers." At this time, it was the captain Pugachev who spoke, and as he spoke, he climbed up the ladder and opened the glass of the cab.

This bomber, it is not easy to get in and out.

All four people are in the front cockpit, which is pressurized and has four seats, the first two are the captain and pilot, and the weapons operator and navigator are in the left and right positions at the back of the cockpit.

The glass of their cockpit can be turned up from both sides, and it is impossible to enter from such a narrow place, and after entering, there is not much room to move.

If it was a Tu-95 or a Tu-160, the interior would be relatively spacious, and there would even be a toilet for them to use, but not now, their plane is so big, they can only succumb to their cockpit until the end of the flight.

It would be a long flight, they would have to fly for more than twenty hours, which would put their physical strength to the test.

They don't care, though.

After all, the Tu-95 and Tu-160 belong to strategic bombers and cannot be used casually.

"As long as there is vodka, we are not afraid of anything." Borisov in the back said, as soon as he said this, Pugachev suddenly became serious: "No, you are responsible for navigating us, you can't make any mistakes, I don't want to be on the vast sea, nothing to find." ”

Borisov shrugged, and then got in, on a long flight, it is okay not to eat, but not to drink vodka, that is absolutely not okay, he has already taken it.

The four of them sat down, heard the sound of the tower coming from inside the headphones, and the two engines behind started in turn and slid onto the runway.

This aircraft is huge, the diameter of the engine in the back, about the height of a person, afterburner take-off, can burst out of a huge power of 248 kN.

That's right, two engines can burst out with a power of 500 kN, which is definitely stronger than the power of the high-speed rail trains of later generations, pushing more than 100 tons of fighters to glide on the runway.

This kind of bomber can only be developed by the Soviets, and at the same time, after it is developed, its greatest use is to equip the Soviet naval aviation to attack the aircraft carrier formations of the Americans!

Backfire is the nemesis of the US aircraft carrier formation, the Aegis system of the Americans, which was developed for Backfire.

Even, the Americans could not pose a threat to the Backfire bomber, and the AS-6 anti-ship missiles carried on its pylons, if high-altitude ballistics were used, could have a range of more than 800 kilometers, which was already beyond the air defense range of the aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft, and even the radar of the aircraft carrier could not detect its traces!

Even with ultra-low-altitude ballistics, it can fly more than 200 kilometers, and if it was a small aircraft carrier of the British in history, it would have been sunk a long time ago.

Now, with the roar of their engines, they took off, loaded with 54 tons of fuel, to complete an impossible combat mission.

Look at the British, who wanted to bomb the Falklands, dispatched victory bombers, two bombers, and actually asked 11 air tankers to accompany them, and once there was a certain failure of air refueling, they were finished.

And now, such a super-bomber of the Soviets, it is enough to carry out only one refueling in the air.

So, behind them, there is also an An-22 air tanker.

The original Soviet air tankers did not have enough fuel, and if they accompanied the Backfire bombers halfway around the world, after refueling the Backfire, they would not be enough to return on their own.

But there is no problem with the An-22, this huge transport aircraft can carry up to 96 tons of fuel on its own, and it can also fly with another 80 tons of cargo.

Now, inside the transport aircraft, a 20-ton fuel tank is installed, so that the overall fuel load is up to 116 tons, and after flying halfway through, after refueling the Tu-22M, it can also return.

To this end, an additional set of in-flight refueling equipment was added.

Now, the two planes climbed into the sky one after another, and after taking off from the Far Eastern Military District, they passed through Hokkaido and disappeared into the radar screens on the ground.

For them, the voyage was destined to be long.

The voyage was also long for the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, as they gradually approached the Drake Passage, and at the same time, the wind and waves began to get stronger.

There is a proverb in the nautical world that "roar forty degrees, crazy fifty degrees", which describes the degree of danger of sailing in the middle and high latitudes.

And now, the aircraft carrier has come to this latitude.

Standing on the bridge of the aircraft carrier, you can see the northern land in the distance, where there are emerald green mountains, and on the top of the high mountains, there is snow that does not melt all year round.

This is Cape Horn, a steep headland in Chile, near the Antarctic Circle, the southernmost land on earth except Antarctica, and the "Mount Everest" in the hearts of all voyagers.

It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the Pacific Ocean in the west, and the Antarctic Ocean, surrounded by a vast sea area, coupled with the influence of the earth's rotation on the direction of the air flow, so that the west wind blows strongly here all year round, forming the famous "westerly drifting", the wind force can reach 40-50 knots at one time, and the gusts can even have 60 knots, accompanied by 8-9 meters of wave height.

Even if it is an aircraft carrier of tens of thousands of tons, sailing here will swing like a flat boat.
