USSR 1991

Chapter 452 The Pacific Storm (1)

After the news of the Pacific joint military exercise was released, the United States attached great importance to it. The US Department of Defense even announced that the USS Independence and the Bunimitz aircraft carrier battle group had entered the highest alert state in order to deal with conflicts that may erupt at any time in the Pacific region. This tactic of war is common in history, from Germany to Japan in World War II, these are the preludes to the start of war.

The Taiwanese side finally felt the fear, and the people began to flee Taiwan, which may become the center of war, with their families. They transferred their assets to the United States, and then took a China Airlines plane from Taipei to Hawaii, and entered the United States on a special plane.Once the war starts, Taiwan will be completely reduced to ruins.Think of the roaring J-12 fighter jets, Qiang-3 attack aircraft, and even an aircraft carrier loaded with anti-aircraft missiles SS-N-[-] anti-ship missiles, SA-N-[-] air defense missiles and other heavy weapons appearing in the waters of Taipei What a frightening existence it should be when it is nearby.

For those Taiwanese, the evil red regime is back, and this time they are not fighting alone, but with an even more terrifying ally, a head that once swept across Europe, crushing tracks and gears from the Vagne to Bo The terrifying Soviet bear at the Landenburg Gate.

Tremble, tremble, before the red dawn comes, we will let you feel what is truly terrible.

At that moment, the party-state, which had been accustomed to a comfortable life in a corner of Pian'an, finally felt the power and terror of socialism.When Masao Iwasato wanted to ask the United States for help, he got an ambiguous answer.

President Mario emphasized at the press conference, "The United States now hopes that all parties will maintain calm and restraint, and eliminate the possibility of this conflict breaking out in the cradle. Therefore, the United States hopes that the Sino-Soviet side will cancel the joint military exercise and resume the joint military exercise." Come to the negotiating table to solve problems, not use force."

Although the United States emphasizes that all three parties exercise restraint, it is constantly mobilizing the Pacific Seventh Fleet to put the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier battle group into combat mode, ready to deal with possible conflicts at any time. The USS Independence aircraft carrier battle group is guarding the waters off Taiwan. Nearby, live ammunition F-18 Hornets and F-14 Tomcats circled and danced over Taiwan, forming an air protection corridor to protect Taiwan.

At the same time, the Soviet Union and China are making final preparations. The first subject of the joint fleet exercise is an air defense exercise. The Soviet Pacific Fleet's Type 1144 Kirov-class cruiser and Type 1164 Glory-class guided missile cruiser will cooperate with the Chinese Navy's Hyundai-class cruiser. The guided missile destroyer cooperated with the air defense drill.

This also proves to the Western world that China's maritime air defense combat capability has opened a new chapter in history.It would no longer be the Shanghai unit that was ravaged by Western fighter jets.

The Kiev-class aircraft carrier that has been refitted is ready to sail to the southeastern sea of ​​Taiwan. The Ulyanovsk aircraft carrier battle group of the Soviet Pacific Fleet is ready to assemble in the open sea. The deputy commander of the Soviet Taipingyan Fleet, Grosov, is in the port with Nanjing Yang Yushu, the deputy commander of the military region and concurrently the commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Fleet, made the final negotiations and arrangements.

The Kiev-class aircraft carrier was leaving the port, and its huge steel body cast a huge shadow.Grosov stood on the shore of the port, witnessing the former Soviet battleship glowing with new splendor.

Although the hero is late, the sword is not old.

"It can still fight for a few more years. After all, this is the first generation of the Soviet Union's aircraft carrier."

Grosov lit a cigarette. The warm climate in the south did not make him feel a little relaxed, but made him feel a little cold inside. He turned his head to face Yang Yushu beside him. The first joint military exercise to deal with the US fleet.

"Tomorrow will be a tough battle, General Yang Yushu. This is probably the toughest battle I have ever faced. To be honest, I really want to have a bottle of vodka right now. After I get drunk, I can't do anything." Don't think about it, just wait until the war is over, or the end of the world."

"Hehe, this joke is not funny at all, Comrade Grossov." Yang Yushu stepped forward and kicked the stones under his feet into the water. He watched the departure of the Kenda-class guided missile cruiser and the Modern-class destroyer, and slowly disappeared into the sea. In the plane, "This time we are making a huge risky bet. We believe that under the pressure of China and the Soviet Union, the US fleet will choose to leave and compromise. The leaders of the White House are not fools. The situation in the world is in a state of At a delicate juncture, a great power conflict could trigger the butterfly effect of World War III."

"If the American fleet doesn't leave, what will you do? This is no longer a bluff threat, but a war that may break out at any time." Grossov took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.He believes that as long as the Soviet Politburo changes its mind temporarily, China will suffer great losses. It can be said that the outcome of this game has been completely controlled by the top Soviet leaders. If it wins, China will be completely defeated, and the Soviet Union will be suppressed.

"But you won't withdraw, will you? After China loses power, what benefits will you have? Will you leave a Soviet Union that has just regained some strength to deal with a powerful United States?" Zhang Yushu is full of confidence, because he believes that the United States will not suddenly form an alliance with the Soviet Union , the increasingly tough confrontation due to interests has been entrenched.

"I'm just a soldier who obeys the orders of the Politburo, General Zhang Yushu. I don't know anything else. I think the top management has made a decision. Whether the decision is right or wrong, we can only accept it." Grosso The husband threw the cigarette butt into the water, and after a wisp of white smoke disappeared, he turned and left the port, "I can only say good luck to you, oh no, good luck to all of us."

The military exercise used all the military power of the East China Sea Fleet, the Pacific Fleet is already the end of a powerful country, and the Ulyanovsk has just completed the break-in period, and even some of the su33 carrier-based aircraft it carries are new fighter jets that have just entered service.Facing a powerful aircraft carrier battle group, everyone felt unprecedented pressure.

This is the sense of fear brought about by the absolute supremacy of the sea.

But now, the Soviet Union gave up its advantages in the army and used its relatively weak navy to provoke the most powerful fleet of the United States.

"I wish us all good luck, General Grossov." Zhang Yushu said.

He turned his head to look at the slowly rising sun, and said to himself, "Today will be a long day."

Chapter 453 The Pacific Storm (2)

More than a dozen weird unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are preparing to take off on the deck of the Ulyanovsk. This is the first highlight of the Pacific joint military exercise. Launch, the unmanned surveillance aircraft is housed in a mobile launch box, and then it will be launched by a booster rocket on the launch pad.A reconnaissance aircraft that does not need a runway to taxi into the air greatly enhances the maneuverability of the Swift unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

In this joint military exercise code-named "Iron Curtain", these unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have been given a new mission, which is to become the target aircraft of the United Pacific Fleet. A total of nearly [-] Swifts will be assigned to simulate The enemy plane was then destroyed on the mission.General Honigs, the captain of the Ulyanovsk, will personally command this invisible war.

"As long as these unmanned reconnaissance planes don't fail at critical moments, we will definitely impress the Yankees who are watching us. At least I will let them see what a giant wave of steel is." Honigs patted his hat confidently, Watching the sailors around him busy preparing to release the Swift unmanned reconnaissance aircraft on the launch pad on the deck.

"I hope that the Chinese side who rushed into the battle will not reveal their secrets, right? These people must not hold us back." Thinking of this, Honigs frowned. They are already familiar with air defense operations, but they are still in the same position as 956 The Chinese East China Sea Fleet during the break-in period of the modern-class destroyers is unknown.Sometimes live ammunition exercises are far more complicated than their usual training, and they have to deal with more unexpected situations, so experience is often more important than unrestrained creativity.

Compared with the American reconnaissance aircraft, the figure 141 looks more like a missile with wings installed. It exudes the rough Soviet aesthetics of violence all over the body. After the ignition system takes effect, the tail part of the figure 141 sprays out dazzling The light flew towards the deep blue sky, and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Next, we will wait to see the performance of the Andropov cruiser and the Red Ukraine 1164 cruiser. As the Red Ukraine, which has participated in the confrontation in the Arabian Sea, it has richer experience in such military exercises.

At the same time, the cruiser Andropov and the Red Ukraine became active. Although there are American ships within the scope of the joint military exercise to detect every move of the combined fleet, no one will send reconnaissance planes or The early warning aircraft entered the absolute territory above the United Fleet. If it was shot down as a target aircraft, the United States would not be able to hide its face.

Target drones began to appear in the sky, and everyone on the Andropov and the Red Ukraine began to get busy. According to the previous exercise script, both the Andropov and the Red Ukraine would open their top cover radars to lock on to the target. And guided the SA-N-6 Raytheon ship-to-air missile to intercept for the first time. The two top cover radars of the Andropov guided 24 missiles to attack 12 targets at the same time, and one top cover radar of the Red Ukraine simultaneously Guide 12 missiles to attack 6 targets.Make sure to shoot down a drone within two missiles.

Between 1991 and 1992, the Soviet Union only carried out 14 Raytheon ship-to-air missile launch exercises, but this time nearly 36 missiles were used in one breath. In addition to saying that it is rich and powerful, I am afraid that the political significance behind it is displayed. To be clearer, want to start a war with the Soviet Union?First check if your combat missile storage is enough.

"The top cover radar has locked all the target drones, ready to launch missiles at any time." The operator said to the captain.

The captains of the Andropov and the Red Ukraine gave the order to attack almost at the same time. Even though they were separated by a considerable distance, they replied in a very tacit understanding, "The launch can be carried out."

The SA-N-6 surface-to-air missiles began to take off, and the yellow tail flames caused all the staff on the command platform to stop at the work at hand. They watched the 24 anti-aircraft missiles on the ship take off through the glass window , Fly towards the direction of the target aircraft.At this time, the radar on the display screen has locked on all the target drones, just waiting for the missile to blow them into ashes.

At the same time, the captain of the Andropov could clearly see that the missiles were rising into the sky on the missile launcher of the Red Ukraine, mixed with tail flames and dust, and the twelve missiles fired at the same time Running for another goal-this is the opening scene of the Soviet Union, and the United States must feel a terrible roar from the steel billow.

At an altitude of several thousand meters, drones and ship-to-air missiles have launched a life-and-death competition.

The radar has locked the target, so no matter how the drone evades, it cannot escape the radar tracking of the missile.

The captain of the Andropov stared nervously at the flashing dots on the screen. Every time the radar scanned a circle, the small dots representing the target aircraft flickered.Andropov clenched his fists secretly. At this critical moment, there must be no accidents.

When the pointer scanned a circle, a small dot finally disappeared from the screen.This means that the target aircraft has been destroyed by the missile launched.Next came the second, third, and fourth, with dots disappearing on the screen all the time.At this time, the ship-to-air missiles were eliminating threats from the Pacific Ocean with extremely high efficiency. The captain of the Andropov did not have the opportunity to witness this tragic battle, but he could imagine that the drones could not get rid of it. The desperation of ship-to-air missiles, if there are pilots in these planes, I am afraid he has chosen to give up and escape.

The target of the exercise today may only be some reconnaissance aircraft of Figure 141, but when actual combat breaks out tomorrow, it may be the US F-18 or F-14 carrier-based aircraft.The Soviet Union wants to prove one thing to the Americans. Once a conflict breaks out, the Red Navy can eliminate all air power threats in the shortest possible time.

When the last locked target disappeared from the screen, the captain of the Andropov finally breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone on the ship stood up and began to clap their hands, congratulating the success of the exercise mission. The target plane will fly to the Chinese Type 956 destroyer according to the previous plan, and they will intercept the Tu 141 Swift reconnaissance plane next.

This time he fully verified what Minister Yazov once said, "The Soviet Red Navy only needs to press one of the buttons lightly, and it can destroy the aviation power of all the US fleets. Remember, this Not alarmist talk, but a final death warning from the Red Soviets."

Chapter 454 The Pacific Storm (3)

After the Andropov and the Red Ukraine completed the first round of interception, when the rest of the target drones entered the range of 30 kilometers, the People's Liberation Army's 956 modern-class destroyer will open the roof radar to search for the target, and then open Two MR-90 irradiation radars guide 4 SA-N-7 Hurricane missiles for the second round of interception. The irradiation radars can lock two targets at a time. When the Swift drone enters a range of 30 kilometers, the Hyundai-class destroyer With the help of the irradiation radar, the targets of the drones were locked, and they were intercepted within the 30-kilometer death field.No one can escape the pursuit of anti-aircraft missiles.

After the search radar enters the combat state, it searches in the azimuth at a speed of 12 rpm, and at the same time performs a frequency scan in the pitch. When it finds the Swift unmanned drone that broke through the previous air defense fire network, it scans every 2.5 seconds. The data rate is high, and the coarse-precision dot trace video signal is sent to the target distribution platform on the ship and the OK-10B air-to-air situation and fire distribution platform.

"Target found. Locking on two enemy aircraft that have broken through the first air defense network." The operator began to get busy, keeping a close eye on the movement of the dots on the screen. The target aircraft had already appeared within the range of the ballistic missile , as long as the target is locked, they can launch missiles to destroy it.

After the central computer has calculated the optimal ballistic parameters and launching inclination of the Hurricane missile, it will input these data into the missile launcher, and it will complete the setting of the flight parameters of the missile, the transfer of the launcher and the launch of the missile.

"The target has been locked, please issue instructions." The operator in the air defense command room waited for the captain to give an order, and pressed the red launch button.

"Missile launch." The captain gave the order decisively.

The four Hurricane missiles slowly rose from the destroyer, and then flew towards the intended target. Everyone was watching this historic scene. The service of the modern-class destroyer changed the embarrassing situation that the Chinese main ship did not have anti-aircraft missiles. Announce to America that our Navy is moving to new heights.

After the Hurricane missile is detached from the launcher, it executes the command of the program flight. After flying for about 4 seconds, the radar seeker is launched and starts to search for the target. At this time, the probability of intercepting the target has reached 98%. When the warhead radar seeker of the Hurricane missile intercepts target, the missile began to intercept the Swift target drone with an arc trajectory.

The Hurricane missile is always in the sky above the target aircraft during its flight, just like an eagle eyeing its own target. This is because the fuze beam of the missile does not touch the sea surface. The dive angle was approaching, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the missile completed its combat plan to destroy the target within the set range.

Everyone in the command and war room cheered, and the captain who has always been rigid and serious also showed a very rare smile. Although the system of the modern-class destroyer is the export model of SA-N-7, its performance is lower than that of the SA-N used by the Soviet Union. -7 Hurricane missile, but this system is of far-reaching significance to the Chinese navy, which brought the first missile with preliminary area air defense capability to the Chinese navy.Get rid of the embarrassing situation that the People's Navy has been relying on point air defense missiles such as Haihongqi-61 and Haihongqi-7 as fleet air defense.

The last air defense task is completed by the 1144 Kirov. So far it is one of the few cruisers equipped with SA-N-9 Doyle air defense missiles. As a ship-to-air missile transplanted from the roadbed to the ship, SA-N -9 is famous for a long time. The SA-N-9 short-range air defense missile system adopts many new technologies and has advanced performance. The Soviet Union only equipped its own navy and did not export it to foreign countries.This is also one of the secret short-range weapons of the Soviet Union. It was specially shown in the Pacific Ocean this time to let the Americans know clearly the terrifying strength of the giant steel wave.

According to the Soviet Union's naval development ideas, any ship is to safely escort the ballistic missile nuclear submarine into the launch position, so the Red Navy's maritime ships pay special attention to air defense and anti-ship capabilities. Even if it is an aircraft carrier battle group, the first task is not to directly contact the opponent. Fight against each other, but give priority to protecting ballistic missile nuclear submarines.

When the high beam used to search for mid-air targets on the Kirov cruiser intercepted the movement of the target aircraft, it immediately sent relevant information to the rough interception radar of the phased array and completed the mission of missile launch.The silo cover on the Kirov was slowly opened, and the missile was ready for final launch.At this time, the search radar has completed its mission, and the intercept radar will take over.
