Among the countries of the Middle East, the formation of surface ships of this scale is maintained in the normal state of navigation in the Persian Gulf, and in the sky, there are two intruder fighters accompanying the fleet to fly around the left and right, and not far from the high altitude, an early warning aircraft is also quietly cruising around the fleet.

Putting up such a battle is not to target anyone, but just the routine air protection of Cai Ruichen and the fleet.

Otherwise, instead of two intruders, there would have been a sizable group of combat aircraft.

The Persian Gulf is not a calm place, and this is not the first time that a multifunctional destroyer has conducted sea trials, but after a simple sea trial, it has sailed in formation with a sea scorpion, and at the same time, in coordination with air forces, relevant tests of the command and communication and combat systems on the warship have been carried out.

Naturally, this kind of test cannot be made public, and the United States naturally knows that the Future Science and Technology Group is conducting sea trials with an advanced destroyer, and the United States has already notified it several months ago.

In this regard, the Americans did not show much curiosity, perhaps in the eyes of the United States, the navies of both sides have formed an alliance, and there is an opportunity to learn about this type of warship, and there is no need to rush at all now.

The calm United States and the calm Fifth Fleet, of course, there are also countries that are not calm, and Iran is one of them.

In fact, Iran has always maintained a good impression of Future Technology Group, especially during the war between Future Technology Group and Israel, and has always cooperated with Future Technology Group.

It's just that as Future Technology Group and the United States get closer and closer, the two sides have never communicated. Naturally, there was also a distancing.

In particular, the Future Technology Group is close to Iran, and both the Air Force and the trained Iraqi Defense Force are world-class troops.

This has led to Iran, which has always wanted to become a regional power. Naturally, I couldn't sit still.

Iran is currently the only country in the Middle East that has its own defense industrial system, and it is capable of developing and imitating many quite advanced weapons and equipment, and its influence in the Middle East is increasing day by day.

On the Caspian Sea, Iran is cooperating very closely with Russia, which includes maritime protection and defense depth in the Caspian Sea.

On the side of the Persian Gulf. Iran has been monitoring the U.S. Fifth Fleet for a long time, and almost every time the U.S. Fifth Fleet enters or leaves the Persian Gulf, it is under Iranian surveillance.

Iran has also been rehearsing wolf pack tactics. Use small fast missile boats to strike large U.S. warships.

After all, compared with large surface combat ships, Iran can almost be said to have zero advantage and zero competitiveness in this regard. It can only be carried out by wolves both surface and underwater. Compete with the US Navy in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea.

The USS Truman aircraft carrier of the US Fifth Fleet returned to the United States for overhaul and may not be redeployed to the Middle East in the future.

This made Iran feel a lot more relaxed, after all, the combat effectiveness of a supercarrier is very terrifying.

It's just that this feeling didn't last long, and the sea forces of the United States and Future Technology Group were officially aligned.

Future Technology Group took out four sions in one go, which was originally a big event in the Middle East.

See the shape of the scorpion, as well as the various advanced weapons and equipment and stealth capabilities on it. The Iranian government was also tempted for a while, and was discussing whether to buy a few sea sions. I heard the news of this alliance.

This made the Iranian government feel helpless at all, because they had no way to form such an alliance.

After all, Iran can't really do anything to the future technology group, and Iran doesn't want to face Saudi Arabia and Israel in the Middle East, and at the same time be wary of the Americans, it also needs to have an opponent who doesn't seem to be easy to mess with.

Fortunately, the alliance between the Future Technology Group and the United States is not a real military alliance, at most it is a paramilitary alliance, and it is more about security escort and anti-terrorism in international waters.

This does not hurt Iran much, but Iran cannot guarantee that such an alliance will not go further.

You must know that now the United States is courting those countries that can be won over around the world, India is one, and even Vietnam, which used to be the sad place of the United States, is being wooed by the United States.

In the Middle East, the United States has been strengthening its relations with Saudi Arabia, especially when reducing its military strength in the Middle East.

From Iran's point of view, the United States, although it is a strategic thing, does seem to be encircling the Far East, and it is also trying to co-opt India in order to comprehensively contain the dragon that is rising in the East.

In fact, however, the United States has also had a plan to kill two birds with one stone by co-opting India, with the Middle East to the northwest, the Persian Gulf to the west coast, and the Gulf of Aden to the southwest, so that the Arabian Sea can be fully controlled and the entire Indian Ocean can be controlled in the south.

After the strategic eastward shift to win over India, the United States still wants to completely control the situation in the Middle East, but this kind of control has changed from relying solely on the United States' own military strength in the past to pulling together a group of quasi-allies.

It is as if the United States is now trying to bring about a military alliance between Japan, Australia, India, and the Philippines.

And although India is a non-aligned country, in fact, over the years, it has already had the basis of a paramilitary alliance with the United States, and there is not much distance from a real alliance.

Naturally, the Iranian side is just looking at the affairs of the Far East, but here in the Middle East, the stakes are very high.

Iran, which is bound to become a regional power in the Middle East, naturally needs a certain space for interests and development, and it also needs a greater depth of strategic defense.

But now the United States is blockading Iran to the death, only the Caspian Sea, Iran can still face Russia face-to-face, and the rest is all in vain.

Originally, the emergence of the Future Technology Group made Iran see a glimmer of opportunity, but unfortunately, the opportunity was quickly shattered by the facts.

The alliance between the United States and the Future Technology Group has put a lot of pressure on Iran, especially the Future Technology Group, which is a powerful air force in the Middle East.

And in the field of the Air Force and Navy, it has always been the weakest point of the Iranians.

Especially this time, after the Future Technology Group launched a modern destroyer with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons and nearly 7,000 tons, the Iranians could not sit still.

When multipurpose destroyers are conducting sea trials in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea, Iran will find ways to close to monitor and track them once they see an opportunity. (To be continued.) )
