Chapter 596 Imminent
Caribbean Sea.
"Discover the Soviet fleet!"
The Ming army's Red 4 Yinglong bomber that took off from St. Martin, the sound of the pilots rang out. On the blue sea below them, the huge fleet sailed through the wind and waves, and the red sickle and hammer flags danced on the masts of warships.
The three heavy aircraft carriers arranged in a font are particularly eye-catching.
"The opponent's carrier-based aircraft took off."
The navigator on the other side shouted.
“Keep monitoring!”
The rear base command came from the radio.
"clear!"
The driver said.
The Yinglong bomber, who was in flight, closed its wings backwards and soon reached the maximum sweep angle of 65 degrees. The entire aircraft became a sharp triangle that was most suitable for high speed. Driven by two three-rotor turbofan engines with a maximum afterburner thrust of up to 25 tons, it quickly broke through the sound barrier and pierced the sky.
Two Jacques 25m carrier-based aircraft that had just taken off below it opened up the afterburner almost at the same time and chased afterwards.
"Play speed?"
The driver on Yinglong bomber sneered and turned on the afterburner.
At the huge tail nozzle behind him, a terrifying blue flame erupted instantly. Driven by violent force, the speed of the aerial beast with a take-off weight of more than 100 tons soared again. When it reached the 18,000-meter ceiling, it had exceeded Mach two.
Two thousand meters below, Jacques 25m stopped chasing helplessly. Although their ceiling could barely reach this height and their speed could exceed Mach 2, it was the data during the test. There were two atoll air-to-air missiles under the wings, and when the internal fuel tank was almost full, they could only sigh from below.
However, they didn't have time to get entangled with the Yinglong bomber, because at this moment, a large number of light spots appeared on the radar screen of the Soviet fleet.
The Americans are here.
An e1 tracker early warning aircraft that took off on the Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carrier first discovered the advancing Soviet fleet, and then twenty-four latest four carrier-based aircraft were ejected from the Enterprise, and rushed forward with sparrow and rattlesnake missiles.
“This place is very good to watch the fun!”
On the Yinglong bomber that was constantly hovering, the pilot smiled and said to the pilot while drinking a special drink that replenished energy.
This is indeed a good place to watch the fun. On the three Soviet aircraft carriers below them, Jacques 25m ejected and took off one after another, and also had atoll air-to-air missiles directly attacking the US military's four Satan fleets.
This fighter has been completely improved compared to the previous Jacques 25. It not only replaced two engines with a thrust of five tons, but also re-amplified the body and replaced the new generation of fire-controlled radar. It can not only use infrared-guided atolls, but also use the latest p8 semi-active radar-guided missiles.
This missile is the AA3 Anab, which was originally scheduled to be officially put into service next year. It has a range of 19 kilometers and can barely be regarded as a medium-range bomb. It is much further than their earliest AA1. Because it obtained a complete sparrow in the Japanese War, the development progress has been greatly accelerated and it can be officially put into service now. As for performance...
At this time, the sparrow was already rotten, and there is no need to say what it looks like as a sparrow imitation.
Of course, neither the Americans nor the Soviets knew this yet, and they were confidently ready to use their medium-range missiles to replicate the glory of the Ming army's lightning missiles.
Just a few minutes later, the two groups of machines that faced each other collided with gunpowder.
"Mama, this small plane is so powerful?"
The Yinglong bomber pilot looked down in surprise.
On the background of the blue sea, the scene of dozens of fighter fighters fighting stunts is absolutely spectacular, but the result is surprising. The small Jacques 25m is like a cheetah playing a bison, flying up and down around Satans, constantly easily seizing favorable positions. The Satan, who has a comprehensive pirated Ming army ghost, has various performance data far beyond their ability, but in this purely skillful battlefield, it has become the target of abuse, and is even worse than the previous crusaders. At least the crusaders and Jacques 25 dog fights are not at all inferior, but the ghosts are obviously unable to play with them.
"Of course, you can fight the tiger sharks by relying on dog fights. Isn't it a matter of seeking death if ghosts fight with them? It's serious to keep a distance and launch medium-range missiles at a high level."
The navigator said.
But this is a confrontation rather than a war, and missiles are hung to scare people rather than shoot down opponents.
"The Crusaders are here!"
At this time, another spot of light appeared on the radar screen in front of them, and the navigator immediately said.
"The Soviet radar was also discovered."
The driver looked at the Soviet fleet that was almost invisible in the distance and said that there could be vaguely seen silver light spots flashing in the sky.
Twenty-four crusaders who took off from another nearby US aircraft carrier joined the battlefield, but reinforcements that took off from the Soviet aircraft carrier also arrived. The scale of fighting stunts in the sky became larger and larger, and at this time, something inevitable happened. A Jacques 25m and its opponent made mistakes at the same time. The Satan's wing was hitting Jacques' abdomen, and its sharp front edge almost drove the fighter from the middle like a giant axe.
Of course it eventually became two sections, but at the same time when Jacques 25 was broken into two sections, Satan's half-wing was also smashed, and the wreckage of the two fighter planes fell almost at the same time.
What's even more damn, by chance, the two pilots ejected were colliding like two rockets, and then they hit the sea together. Another American pilot in Satan did not eject it for some reason, so none of the pilots on both sides were spared and soon they were buried in the sea together.
This tragic scene caused the air situation to change suddenly. Almost all battles escaped from entanglement with the opponent as quickly as possible, and opened up the distance. At the same time, the infrared guided missile sight locked the target and powered up to prepare for attack.
"Look, it's going to fight."
The navigator on the Yinglong bomber shouted excitedly.
"I'll be beaten, I'll be beaten long ago. Isn't it okay if I kill a major after a U2 the day before yesterday? Isn't it okay? I'm not afraid of wearing shoes barefoot. What kind of life do the Americans live? What kind of life do the Soviets live? Do the two families destroy them together? Do the Americans dare to do it or the Soviets dare?"
The driver said contemptuously.
"But didn't the Americans also bombed a submarine yesterday?"
"That means they are not brave enough. They really have the courage to directly fire anti-submarine torpedoes. Why do they have to throw deep bullets down? They threw more than fifty deep bullets before they forced them out, and then watched them go away. They still have the face to gild themselves as victory?"
The driver said.
As if it proved his words, dozens of US fighter jets confronted in the sky suddenly turned to retreat at the same time. As for whether to withdraw from the battlefield or to raise the distance to launch sparrows, it is unknown, but the Soviet fighter jets did not pursue them. They did not have early warning aircraft and could not fight outside the coverage of the carrier-based radar. In fact, in the Soviet combat system, aircraft carriers were just air defense ships. After all, they also knew that the gap in their ship-to-air missile technology was too big, so that the fleet's air defense could only rely entirely on aircraft carriers. As for maritime offense, it was not the main task of aircraft carriers, and that was responsible for anti-ship missiles.
At the same time, a large number of US warships appeared on the distant sea, followed by six Sverdlov-class cruisers responsible for escorting the Soviet fleet, and six old Kotlin-class destroyers rushed towards the US fleet at high speed. Unlike the original Kotlin-class, these six destroyers were like the later brigade-class, with two Triple Styx missile launchers installed in the middle.
The Japanese War fully tested the performance of this missile. Now the Soviets are installing this kind of thing on almost all of their warships, including six of them at the Sverdlov class. It does not occupy too much place anyway, and does not require too much electronic equipment to support it. This thing can even be directly aimed at when it is close.
Moreover, these Styx Rivers were not the original Styx River in history. Because the Ming army's Styx River was obtained from Yugoslavia, the Soviets had already made comprehensive improvements. These actually have performances equivalent to those of the later Styx River m. Not only does they have radar and infrared seekers, but they also replaced the early Styx barometer with radio altimeters, controlling the end flight altitude to about twenty meters, basically reaching the level of sea-skipping flight, and greatly increasing the penetration performance.
The new generation of Styx was the one who showed his power on the battlefield in Japan. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the old man who was played by the Canaanites to beat the US military to the north to avoid getting close to the northern coast.
However, due to the poor air defense capabilities, it is still unknown how practical performance of these old warships is, but they are perfect confrontation ships. When more than a dozen Soviet warships lie in front of the US fleet and show their missile launch boxes, even the US military had to deal with it carefully.
They have lost too much to take anti-ship missiles.
The battle on the Red Sea still makes them frightened when they think of it. The eagle strikes that hit Saratoga one by one like meteorites were like a nightmare. And when faced with this weapon, their almost undefensive fear is still imprinted in the hearts of many US troops participating in the war.
Although this is the Styx River, not the Eagle Strike, this thing is much scary than the Eagle Strike, and it also left them with many painful memories on the battlefield in Japan.
However, this did not gain an advantage for the Soviet fleet, because the second US fleet arrived immediately, and this group of heavy cruisers was almost all thick and thick. The towering giant ships like mountains on the sea were scattered in front of the Soviet fleet. One by one, the 203mm main guns turned to the side, forcing the latter to stop.
"The show has begun!"
At a height of 18,000 meters, the pilot on the Yinglong bomber looked down and said.
Chapter completed!
