"For a long time, the theory that super aircraft carriers are useless has been popular." On the island of the No. 001 aircraft carrier, Qin Tao looked at the three J-15 fighters returning to land after completing the mission, and said with great emotion: "However, these

All these claims are deceiving people. Just look at the United States, where aircraft carriers are getting bigger and bigger, and you can see that super aircraft carriers are the easiest to use."

"Yes, if we want to operate the J-15 fighter jets smoothly, the deck area of ​​the aircraft carrier must be large enough." Li Yan agreed: "If we start building an aircraft carrier ourselves in the future, it must not be smaller than the current one."

"Of course." Qin Tao said: "The new aircraft carrier designed by our aircraft carrier design bureau for the navy must have a displacement of at least 80,000 tons." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Now that everything is ready, we owe it to Dongfeng."

"Electromagnetic catapult?" Li Yan asked tentatively.

Qin Tao shook his head: "It's a matter of money. The electromagnetic catapult is nothing. The construction period of the aircraft carrier is long, and the dock needs to be built for two years. During this time, our electromagnetic catapult has long been mature. The key is whether the navy can have it."

Such expenses.”

Wu Shengli also sighed with emotion: "Yes, the superiors have unified their thinking. If we want to protect economic development and maritime trade, we must have a strong navy. Aircraft carriers must be developed. As long as

However, aircraft carriers cost too much money. Look, even the European powers do not have enough economic strength to develop powerful aircraft carrier fleets."

The old Britain relies on the Invincible-class aircraft carrier with a displacement of 20,000 tons to play the leading role. The French have developed a new Charles de Gaulle, which has a displacement of only 40,000 tons. Moreover, problems frequently occur.

What about our own side? We have the current 001 aircraft carrier, which is already very difficult. A lot of the navy's funds have been eaten up by the aircraft carrier. Now, it is not suitable to start building a new aircraft carrier.

"We are different from Europe. We have the advantage of low labor costs." Qin Tao said: "For the same aircraft carrier, our cost is only one-third of that of the West, or even lower, and maintenance and other things are cheaper. However, suffer

After this stimulation, those guys on the opposite side will also realize that small and medium-sized aircraft carriers are worthless. Their next-generation aircraft carrier will also expand the displacement to more than 60,000 tons. However, this is just the sunset of the empire, hum.

Now let us stand on their shoulders and rise!"

Ships are a mobile land. Although the airspace above the ships is not a mobile airspace, it is an agreed upon rule. All fleet commanders believe that the airspace above their heads is inviolable. Now, if two of our own three-plane formations fly over, it would be humiliating the other party.

Yes, how would the other party react at this time?

Did he get angry and curse, or did he break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach?

"I guess it's the latter." Qin Tao said with a smile: "They want to lose face. They will investigate secretly at most, and they will definitely be embarrassed to make it public."

"Report, the early warning aircraft sent news that the opponent's formation did not enter our territorial waters and began to circle on the high seas."

"It seems that they have taken this breath." Wu Shengli said with a smile: "Next, we will just wear it out. If they don't leave, we won't leave either. Just treat it as a training exercise."

"It's a pity that there is no carrier-based early warning aircraft. When our next aircraft carrier is completed, our combat power will be more complete." Qin Tao sighed with emotion.

In the sky, the Air Police-2000 is flying with its wings. It is accompanied by two Su-27s, ready to respond to emergencies. Electromagnetic waves radiate around, giving a panoramic view of the entire southern sea area.

The situation here has attracted the attention of many people, and the most well-informed among them is of course the other side of the ocean.

"What's going on? The show hasn't even started yet, how can you give in?" Swift held the latest news in her hand and said to the people around her: "What are they afraid of?"

"According to the latest news, early this morning, their aircraft carrier formation was passed by two waves of air formations. They must have been frightened." Brian said.

"Two waves of air formation? Is it the J-15? Even if this kind of aircraft carries anti-ship missiles, there is nothing terrible. Their Sea Harrier fighter jets have been upgraded and can carry medium-range air-to-air missiles.

It is fully capable of intercepting the J-15." Swift was a little surprised.

"One of the formations is the J-15, and the other formation is the Tu-22m."

The cigar in Swift's hand fell to the ground.

Figure-22m?

"Impossible, this is impossible! How can Easterners have such weapons?"

As the U.S. Navy, of course it will not forget the threat posed by the Tu-22m. At the peak of the Red Empire, the naval aviation had nearly two hundred Tu-22m. This supersonic penetration bomber has become a lingering concern for the U.S. Navy.

of incubus.

The Tu-22m can carry three heavy-duty kh-22 anti-ship missiles for supersonic penetration. As long as it passes through the first line of defense of the Tomcat fighter jets, it can launch anti-ship missiles, even with a maximum range of 600 kilometers.

, it can also launch missiles outside the interception radius of Tomcat fighters. This terrible missile can accelerate to more than Mach 4 at the end. Coupled with a huge warhead, one can destroy a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.

.

Two hundred Tu-22Ms and six hundred kh-22 anti-ship missiles far exceed the US Navy's anti-saturation attack capabilities.

Thanks to the collapse of the Red Empire, a large number of such bombers have been retired. Otherwise, the U.S. Navy would never dare to boldly eliminate the Tomcat fighter jets.

Even the U.S. Navy can't deal with the Tu-22m bomber, and the current formation of light aircraft carriers can't even deal with it. I don't know how many such aircraft there are now. If there are a huge number, it will definitely be their nightmare!

"Protest to Mao immediately! How can they export such bombers?" After a moment of surprise, Swift reacted.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The bombers of the Orientals must have been purchased from Da Mao!

This matter had to be dealt with as soon as possible, and just two hours later, Moscow received the news.

Their reaction was, firstly, surprise, and secondly, surprise!

"Grishin, are you sure that the batch of Tu-22m bought by the Easterners has been scrapped and cannot fly?" The elder immediately came to Grishen for questioning.

"Yes, I am sure that if those planes can take off again, then all the junk in our airplane cemetery can be sold again." Grishin said: "And we just took inventory, Kuzne

Zuofu Design Bureau has a lot of engines in stock. Even if they really had the ability to renovate those aircraft, they would not have renovated the engines."

Of course Grishen didn't know that Qin Tao was prepared for a rainy day. When he first started doing business with Nikola, he took away all the Tu-22m engine spare parts from the Pacific Fleet base, and waited until Lao Maozi counted the inventory later.

, those engines were not included at all.

"Then where did they get the Tu-22m?"

"It can only be Ermao. If we don't take the blame, Ermao must have sold it to them!" Grishen said through gritted teeth.

In addition to them, there are also Ermao. Now, the Americans are coming aggressively to pour dirty water on them.

"Then reply to the Americans like this. This matter has nothing to do with us." The boss agreed: "We will never sell strategic weapons to neighboring countries. This is not in line with our strategy!"

"Yes." Grishen nodded.

After the encounter with Da Mao, this matter could only come to an end temporarily. The reconnaissance satellites in space kept searching, trying to find the base where this bomber was located, but they still found nothing.

At sea, separated by hundreds of nautical miles, the two aircraft carrier formations were sailing peacefully, and time was slowly passing by, one day, two days, three days.

"Reconnaissance satellites in space have not found the Tu-22m base, and Da Mao has not admitted to selling bombers of this level to Dongfangren." After receiving the information, Drake reported to the commander.

"No? Then where did the bombers in the hands of the Easterners come from? Huh, they are obviously covering up!" Brown said with some annoyance.

"Then what do we do now?"

Under the threat of bombers, they did not dare to take another step forward. There was no other way to just hang around here!

"Report, our Sea King early warning helicopter discovered that there is an opponent's warship operating alone a hundred nautical miles away from the formation."

Since the last time they were attacked by an ultra-low altitude sneak attack, they had cheered up. After all, they were within the range of the opponent's aircraft carrier and they had to be careful. Therefore, their Sea King helicopters began to take off frequently.

Although this kind of early warning helicopter is not advanced in performance and has a short search distance, it is more than enough to provide low-altitude blind filling for the aircraft carrier formation.

The last time they were penetrated twice by the opponent's fighter planes, they were really embarrassed. After analysis, there were many reasons.

The fleet was blindly arrogant. Only two Type 42 destroyers turned on their search radars. The early warning time for ultra-low-altitude flying targets was seriously insufficient. Moreover, the Eastern fighters were obviously equipped with some kind of electronic jamming equipment, which further reduced their

Radar warning time.

Now, they can no longer be negligent. The early warning helicopters alternately relay to provide 24-hour uninterrupted early warning capabilities. At the same time, one or two Sea Harrier fighter jets are always on alert above the formation.

After a few days, no fighter planes were found to attack, but instead a warship broke away from the formation on the opposite side!

Brown immediately became excited: "Quick, send a warship over!"

The destroyer No. D970 in the formation accepted the order, left the formation, and headed towards the warship acting alone.

The D970 was a warship that was commissioned in 1985, so it did not catch up with the tragic sea and air battle. Moreover, it also learned various lessons from the naval battle at that time and carried out equipment replacement. For example, the original 965r long-range air defense

The warning radar is replaced by the new Type 1022 radar, and its performance has been greatly improved. In addition to moving target display, frequency agility and pulse compression technology have been added; the 992q medium-range sea and air warning target indication radar is replaced by the Type 996 medium-range lightweight multi-functional three-dimensional coordinate system.

The radar was replaced and made more modern; in order to intercept sea-skimming missiles, it was also equipped with 2-4 Olyken 20mm cannons and 2 American MKL5 six-barreled 20mm "Phalanx" short-range weapon systems.

Its electronic system has been modified and a large number of electronic jammers and jtids joint tactical information distribution system have been installed.

Relying on this system, it can receive information from the mother ship at any time. At this time, it sails according to the information from the mother ship.

The two gas turbines at the rear are working at full power. This Olympus TM3B gas turbine is their main ship gas turbine. Each has a continuous power of 18.38mw. When two of them are used together, they can provide 50,000 horsepower, which is enough

Let this kind of destroyer of more than 4,000 tons reach a high speed of thirty knots.

Now, just hurry up!

The Type 1022 radar on the top was searching the sea surface. Soon, it discovered the small target. Captain Jericho stood on the bridge and searched the sea surface with a telescope. When he saw the outline of the target in the distance,

At that moment, I was stunned for a moment.

what is that?

With its long mast and bulging sails, it was not the destroyer and frigate they expected at all, but a sail training ship!

"Damn, why is this a warship?" Jericho said angrily: "Report to your superiors, the target is a sail training ship!"

At the same time, Zhao Dahai, the captain of the Breaking Waves, was also looking at the approaching destroyer through the telescope, looking at its antique hull and the unique big ball above the bridge: "It's a Type 42 destroyer, heading towards

Report from superiors, everything is according to plan. Order the whole ship to prepare for collision at any time!"

On the light aircraft carrier, when Brown received the news, he was stunned for a moment: "What, is it a sail training ship?"

"That's right, it should be the Oriental ship Breaking Waves."

"No matter what kind of warship it is, in short, that ship is for military use. We must take this opportunity to kill the opponent's majesty!"

The corner of Rupert's mouth twitched a few times. The commander must have gone crazy. He used a warship to bully a sailing ship. It would be so embarrassing to spread such a thing!
