Joint combat with the US Navy formation? At first glance, it seems that it is not good for Pakistan, and it takes a lot of effort. It is better for Pakistan to directly dispatch air force fighters and join the joint strike.

However, Zahar's proposal was instructed by Mhamad himself. This is of course of great use, and it is to be familiar with the US Navy.

Now, the Pakistan Navy is close to the US Navy and is familiar with all the combat methods of the US Navy. After that, this is a huge advantage. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles without any success.

Of course, the US Navy did not know that Pakistan was doing this purpose. Now, their Pakistani colleagues were operating the Master-class aircraft carrier and sailing with them in formation.

Guader Port is still too far from Iraq, almost around the maximum combat radius of carrier-based aircraft, but if you venture into the Persian Gulf, you will be vulnerable to Iran's shore-ship missiles.

Although the whole world is bombarding Iraq with its mouth, Iranians should be happy. Americans are here to attack Iraq now, and Iranians should watch and applaud and welcome at most. However, Iranians have even more brain problems. Who knows if they will be unfavorable to the US Navy? Therefore, in this case, the risk of the US aircraft carrier formation entering the Persian Gulf is too high.

Therefore, the aircraft carrier formation was sailing near the Gulf of Oman. At this time, the formation was accelerating and preparing to take off the carrier-based aircraft.

The center of the formation is the US Navy's aircraft carrier and the Pakistani Navy's Endeavour. The two aircraft carriers form a dual aircraft carrier formation, sailing in the center. On the north side of the formation, there is a Ticonderoga-class cruiser and two Aegis-class destroyers, providing complete air defense. The focus of their defense is the possible attacks by the Iranians.

On the south side of the formation are two Type 42 destroyers of the Pakistan Navy. They are used to protect air defense on the other side, because this side is Oman. The air defense pressure is the minimum.

Although Pakistan's own professional air defense destroyers had already been put into service at this time, in order to avoid the leakage of its electromagnetic signals to the Americans, these destroyers did not join, and even the Kid-class modified by Pakistan did not join. Only these two regional air defense destroyers equipped with sea javelins should not launch attacks from shore missiles as long as the Omani people are not crazy.

The captain of the Endeavour, Major General Haziz of the Pakistani Navy, looked at the aircraft carrier on the other side through the porthole on the bridge.

The US aircraft carrier has a large displacement and a larger deck. There are three elevators on the side of the ship's side, which greatly accelerates the dispatch efficiency of carrier-based aircraft. Now, the main task of seizing air supremacy is to take off and land. Therefore, the take-off and landing of Tomcat fighters is the ones who take off and land.

On both sides of the runway of the bow deck are filled with two rows of fighter jets. This will make the deck more efficient and can be pulled to the ejection position at any time. Now, the two catapults on the oblique deck, the two Tomcat fighters are ready for ejection takeoff.

In the white steam, the two Tomcat fighters took off one after another in almost one second, and the catapults were reset. The second batch of two Tomcat fighters also began to eject.

This deck efficiency makes Haziz envious. The advantages of large aircraft carriers are here, the rapid dispatch efficiency of carrier-based aircraft

Although Endeavour is also an oblique deck. However, only the deck of the ship's bow has catapults. Therefore, the carrier-based aircraft can only take off from the deck of the ship's bow. In this way, the position of the bow cannot be occupied. Although the position of the oblique deck cannot take off the carrier-based aircraft, it is necessary to prepare for the landing aircraft. If the landing fails to resume flight, the front must be empty. In this way, many carrier-based aircraft must be arranged in the hangar below and transported with a lift when used.

A large aircraft carrier of 80,000 tons has a efficiency far exceeding the combination of two aircraft carriers of 40,000 tons.

When the US aircraft carrier began to eject, Pakistan's aircraft carrier also began to eject its own carrier-based aircraft, and two Tomcat fighters were ejected from the catapults in turn.

In one attack wave, the US aircraft carrier took off sixteen Tomcat fighters, and the Endeavour ejected twelve Tomcat fighters. After twenty-eight fighters took off, four remained over the formation to protect the formation airspace. The remaining twenty-four fighters flew north into the Persian Gulf.

Four Immortal missiles, two Sparrow missiles, and two Rattlesnake missiles. This is the normal air-optimal loading of Tomcat fighter jets. If it is not used in air combat, two must be thrown into the sea water when returning to the air to ensure safe landing.

Pakistan's Tomcat fighter aircraft only carries two Immortal missiles. This missile is very large in size and weight, and it is a drag on it when flying. Moreover, it is also costly and Pakistan does not have much inventory. In addition to these two Immortals, it also carries four active sky flash missiles. This medium-range guided active air-to-air missile is the real magic weapon of the Pakistan Air Force.

Following behind the Tomcat fighter jet, the carrier-based aircraft of the USS aircraft carrier continued to eject, and two EA6b electronic warfare aircraft were ejected, which would provide sufficient electromagnetic cover for the formation to electromagnetically suppress Iraq.

Next, there were four Fa18 carrier-based aircraft, in addition to two close-range Diamondsnake missiles, there were six anti-radiation missiles. This type of installation was specially designed to deal with ground air defense weapons.

Originally, the Fa18 is a fighter attack aircraft. You can see from the name that the number of American aircraft is, f represents combat and a represents attack. However, I don’t know what the senior management thinks, and they are determined to use such a medium-sized aircraft to replace the Tomcat fighter. Although Bumblebee has multi-purpose capabilities, it is not as good as the dedicated Tomcat fighter's air combat interception capabilities. The only disadvantage of Tomcat is that it is too expensive, procurement is expensive, and maintenance is also expensive. I am afraid that this is also a reason for Congress to kill?

An e2c early warning aircraft has taken off early and flew over the Persian Gulf, monitoring the situation of the Iraqi Air Force, especially the Iraqi Air Force that took off from an air base in Kuwait.

Compared with the US Navy, there are very few carrier-based aircraft loaded on Pakistan's aircraft carriers. Apart from Tomcat, it is the A7, and the E2 early warning aircraft, the rest are helicopters.
