Red Soviet Union

Chapter 480: Medium

readx(); Holding a satellite photo in his hand, it clearly shows the big guys parked on the tarmac, because Zahedan is only a small base, there are not too many caves, so many fighter planes have to be in the open air Storage, which includes these big guys!

​​

"Can we deal with the Soviet bombers?" A voice came from behind.

​​

Along with the Nimitz, Vice Admiral Jonathan Greenard of the U.S. Central Command was also full of worries in the face of the sudden Iranian issue.

​​

"Our fleet, with the only Ticonderoga-class cruiser, is capable of anti-saturation attacks, but the dual-arm launchers will severely limit the launch rate. If the bombers of this aviation regiment of the Soviets are all dispatched, we have There is no guarantee of intercepting every missile.”

​​

The Aegis system in the United States is not as mythical as the later generations. Although the first Aegis cruiser has been in service, because the MK41 vertical launcher has not yet been completed, the Americans still use the dual-arm launcher, which is just like a semi-automatic rifle. , Seriously limits the launch speed. If the Soviets' supersonic anti-ship missiles attack in large numbers, they will not be able to intercept them at all!

​​

"The only way is to intercept the Soviet bombers when they are within range of the missiles!" Miller said.

​​

In contrast, it is easier to intercept bombers, but this is more like an endless loop. Both sides are testing each other's bottom line. The Soviets just said they would exercise, but did not say they would attack the American aircraft carrier formation. If the United States takes off If a large number of carrier-based aircraft go to intercept the bombers, it will lead to an escalation of the incident. Moreover, the interception of the bombers of the Soviets is not counted. What about so many warships of the Soviets? There are also a lot of anti-ship missiles on it! What's more, the Soviet submarines have never been discovered, but there must be Soviet submarines underwater!

​​

This kind of confrontation, if not careful, will lead to a hot war, but the United States must not back down!

​​

"Report, the location information of the Soviet aircraft carrier formation is lost." At this moment, the first officer hurried in and said.

​​

Lost the location information of the Soviet aircraft carrier formation!

​​

Although the aircraft carrier formation is an extremely huge target, on the vast sea, the target of the aircraft carrier formation is still relatively small!

​​

Just like in a clear sky, a fighter jet can attack an ambush, in the sea, if you are not careful, the opponent will disappear without a trace!

​​

In order to lock the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, almost all satellites in the United States that can bypass the Arabian Sea are aimed at this sea area, only today is an exception! With the arrival of the Soviet Tu-22M bomber, in order to judge whether the Soviets were genuine, the American satellite adjusted its orbit, flew over Zahedan, and took countless clear pictures, and some even saw the ground crew in the air. Maintain anti-ship missiles!

​​

Unfortunately, these are all conspiracies of the Soviets! The Soviets turned up those American satellites overhead, and then, slipped away?

​​

Hearing this news, Miller's expression on his face became even more nervous. For a captain, the disappearance of the target means his side's defeat. In a naval battle, the next step in losing the target is that his side is attacked!

​​

"Have you searched the sea area near us?" Miller asked.

​​

When it was discovered that the Soviet aircraft carrier formation had disappeared, the CIA, which was in charge of intelligence collection, must have been the first to enter a state of tension. The surrounding waters, those pictures that could be interpreted, must have been judged to have been read. Just after asking this sentence, Miller knew that the question was wrong, and immediately followed up: "Ejection early warning aircraft, two, no, four Tomcats escorted, searching within a range of 400 kilometers around us!"

​​

You can't rely on the satellites in the sky, you can only rely on yourself! The E-2 early warning aircraft was dispatched, and the search distance for the aircraft carrier formation was at least 400 kilometers! At the same time, in order to avoid encounters with the Soviet carrier-based aircraft, it is necessary to send more **** fighters!

​​

"Report, Zahedan's Soviet bomber unit has taken off! It is expected to reach the waters near our formation in two hours."

​​

The Tu-22M also took off? Lieutenant General Jonathan looked at the chart. The situation was obvious now. The Soviet aircraft carrier did not know where to hide, and their bombers were dispatched. Is it really planning to go to war with the U.S. Navy? The Soviets shouldn't be that stupid, right? Their strategic purpose has been achieved, is it worth fighting with the US Navy? What is the benefit to the Soviet Union if a third world war really starts? That Andropov doesn't look like a rib?

​​

Continuing to scan the chart ahead, Jonathan was surprised when he saw a certain position in the west.

​​

"Full speed ahead, target the northwest, the Gulf of Oman!" Lieutenant General Jonathan said: "We fell for the tricks of the Soviets!"

​​

Gulf of Oman! Miller's gaze also swept there, followed by the same burst of anger, it was indeed a trick! Cunning Soviets!

​​

Gulf of Oman! The northwestern Gulf of the Arabian Sea, located between Oman and Iran on the Arabian Peninsula. The north-south line runs from Ras Hadd, Oman, in the Arabian Peninsula to Gawatl, the southeastern tip of Iran. Here, it is like a bell mouth, and the position of the bell mouth is the Strait of Hormuz!

​​

The Soviets' deployment of the Tu-22M bomber with great fanfare~www.readwn.com~ made it clear that it was just a trick to compete with the US Navy's aircraft carrier! Just when the United States set its sights on Zahedan, the Soviet naval formation, taking advantage of the night, left the Arabian Sea and headed for the Gulf of Oman after the satellite was mobilized!

​​

We have been looking for traces of the Soviet aircraft carrier formation in the Arabian Sea, but of course we can't find it! The combat target of the Soviet Navy is no longer the US Navy, but Bandar Abbas on the north side of the Strait of Hormuz!

​​

If the Soviet Union controls this place, it controls the entire Persian Gulf! At that time, if the countries along the Persian Gulf want to export oil, they will have to look at the face of the Soviet Union!

​​

These damned fellows! Originally, high-level American officials thought that the goal of the Soviet Union was to open up the passage to the south and enter the Indian Ocean, but now, it is clear that the Soviets are not only satisfied with the existing road, they also want to completely control the Persian Gulf!

​​

Full speed ahead! Miller immediately agreed with Jonathan's opinion that the Soviet aircraft carrier had definitely arrived in the Gulf of Oman! Our side is behind again, and we have to rush there quickly to disrupt the Soviet plan!

​​

Those bombers, deployed to Zahedan, are afraid that they are also going to bomb Bandar Abbas, right? (To be continued.)
