Chapter 177 The sea storm
In the chimney on the top of the modern level, huge black smoke emerges. The modern level using the boiler is not only slow to start and accelerate, but also has absolutely not as good as the gas turbine.
The advantages of the Shanghai-class and Heden-class have been revealed. Especially the Heden-class, the officers and soldiers of the Iraqi Navy have been operating this warship for several years and are very familiar with its performance. Therefore, the Heden-class acceleration is also the fastest.
The gas turbine is not without black smoke. When it accelerates, black smoke still appears because it is not completely burned.
The Perry-level was like a sharp sword, rushing towards the dispersed formation, like a wolf rushing into the flock of sheep.
When conducting exercises in other countries, it is already a very impolite act to approach the exercise waters. As it is now, impacting the other party's exercise formation is simply a challenge, a kind of provocation.
You should know that in war, it is almost impossible for both sides to see each other with their naked eyes. The emergence of anti-ship missiles has already brought the war between the two sides away from the traditional sight.
And now, the United States is going to put pressure on them. In this world, the United States is the boss!
Although the Perry class is a frigate, its displacement is almost the same as that of the Shanghai-class destroyer. Moreover, the standard air defense missiles carried on it make its air defense performance similar to the Modern Class. The industrial crystallization of the United States for many years is incomparable to any country in terms of the navy.
Of course, they have also cultivated a kind of pride, such as now.
The modern level is still accelerating, but the Perry level behind has already rushed up.
So far, the other party’s intention has become very obvious. The other party is here to find fault. If they do this, they are provoking!
At this time, if Kusai was there, he would probably regret it. He had removed the 130mm naval gun at the back. Otherwise, they could now use the 130mm naval gun to conduct a deterrent test fire behind their butts.
The 130mm naval gun in front cannot turn to the last direction. The AK630's 6-barrel close-defense gun has no dead end to shooting. And now, as the opponent gradually approaches, it may be within the range, but the performance of this gun is too powerful.
Moreover, once the fire is really opened, there will be a conflict between the two sides, a conflict that rises above and above to a very high level. This conflict can be big or small.
So, at the last moment, Abdul held back.
"Report the information to President Kusai immediately and ask President Kusai for the orders." Abdul said.
Since satellite communication systems are installed, they can communicate with the country at any time. In this case, the conflict will expand at any time. Therefore, what countermeasures the formation should take will still be waiting for the orders of President Kusai.
Just after the Perry class approached the formation, suddenly, a beautiful left rudder, with a hull tilted, rolling huge waves, rushed over from the side of the formation.
Perry's class completed a big turn in a daze and came to the front of the formation. Then, the left rudder was full and the right rudder was full, as if he didn't care about the physical feelings of the crew on the ship, he danced ballet on the sea.
This is the S maneuver of a warship at sea. Although it is not as fast as the maneuver of a fighter jet, it is of practical significance. However, now, its actions only have one purpose, which is to interfere with the normal exercises of the current naval formation!
Now they are conducting anti-submarine exercises. This kind of anti-submarine exercise requires a quiet environment. With the Perry-class S maneuvering, many noises are constantly coming, causing the sonar of the ships jointly exercised by the two countries to lose their sensitivity. Needless to say, it is the Oscar-class, even the Ming-class, I am afraid that it will not be found.
Damn Americans!
"Woo!" Perry-level whistle sounded with a mighty look, as if it was unspeakable.
"Report that President Kusai's order has come down to defend our naval dignity, but to control the level of conflict." Soon, the order came back, but this order still gave the question of how to do it to Abdul.
"Prepad guns are ready, and the target is illuminated with radar." Abdul said.
The head of the modern class has a double-barrel 130mm naval gun, which is a fierce firepower. If you do not use anti-ship missiles and use this kind of artillery alone, you can pour more than 70 shells into one minute, which is enough for the opponent to bear. You must know that now is not the era of thick ships and giant cannons, and the decks of various warships are far less thick than before.
With Abdul's order, the naval gun on the huge cast steel base began to rotate. The automatic ammunition filling machine inside the barrel had loaded the shells into place. The sea water began to cool the barrel and was ready to be in a firing state at any time.
The fire control system of the naval gun also began to work, aiming at the warship in front.
"Report, we were illuminated by the opponent's radar." Thomas received the report, and at the same time, he also saw that the naval gun on the huge warship had turned its mouth and was aiming at him.
Do Iraqis really want to play?
Being exposed to radar is very similar to air combat. At the next moment, the opponent's shells will probably come. However, Thomas is very convinced that the Iraqis are just intimidating themselves when they do this.
If they dare to fire a shell, then the conflict between the two sides will escalate.
Although the US Clark Air Force Base stationed in the nearest Philippine Islands is now closed, the US military presence in the Western Pacific is still very large.
It made the Americans very depressed. When the situation in the Western Pacific was becoming more and more important, a few months ago, they had to give up the air base in the Philippines because of the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, and the ash completely covered the air base.
Otherwise, the US Air Force fighter jets would fly here at any time.
Iraqis want to play the trick of radar? Then play it with them!
There is also a 76mm naval gun in front of the Perry-class. You have it and I have it. Let’s play together!
Although it was one-on-four, Thomas was not afraid at all.
However, Thomas didn't know that there were two submarines underwater!
Iraq's Oscar Class 2 nuclear submarine has been tracking the American warship for this period of time. It has observed that China's diesel-electric submarine occupied a favorable launch position.
At this time, it's time to show their existence!
Oscar level 2, used his own active sonar and hit the opponent's side.
The Oscar Level 2 is not afraid of being discovered by the other party, because it has excellent performance and its own ship is on the water, which is very safe. Moreover, there is no need to worry about being suspected by the other party, because there are already Chinese submarines underwater.
Two sonar waves hit the Perry-class side accurately.
…………
Ufda Air Force Base.
Four F-15E fighter bombers, each of which was full of four laser-guided bombs, two AIM-7 Sparrow Air-to-air missiles, two AIM-9 Strokes, and three huge secondary fuel tanks.
The F-15E has eleven plug-ins and is now fully armed. Their mission this time is to launch a tentative attack on Libya.
An E-3 early warning aircraft and a tanker have also been launched. Together, they flew towards Libya on the southern coast of the Mediterranean.
Learning from the lessons from last time, they will fly three hundred kilometers away from the Libyan coastline to avoid attacks from Libya's surface-to-air missiles.
At the same time, four F-18 fighters took off on an aircraft carrier north of Sirte Bay. They carried air-to-ground anti-radiation missiles that suppressed the ground, and two other EA-6B electronic jammers also accompanied the flight.
They did not hide their whereabouts, they needed to test the distribution of Libya's air defense forces and the response of the air force.
At this time, the United States' advanced medium-range air-to-air missile, AIM-120, had just been put into service, but it has not yet been equipped with troops in the Middle East and Europe, and it will be replaced at the earliest by the end of this year.
And the navy's, it was even later, and it was only possible to change clothes in 1993.
After the US fighter jets took off, Iraq's early warning aircraft over Jordan had already discovered that the course of these aircraft was unusual, and they were monitoring them until they left the warning range of Iraq's early warning aircraft. The emergency situation was also reported to Libya.
Due to geographical restrictions, Iraq does not have enough ability to monitor the Mediterranean before it has stationed troops in Libya. Syria is Pacific North, while Jordan does not border the Mediterranean.
Now, Iraq and other countries are vigorously promoting the construction of the C3I system, closely linking the command agencies of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria, Iran and other countries, so that they can play a good role in the event of crisis. For example, if the American plane flies towards Syria in the north, the early warning plane will directly send the other party's information to Syria through the data link and high-speed fiber optic data network. However, these systems are not carried out in Libya, so Iraq can only inform Libya through normal channels that American planes have flew in that direction, and the target is likely to be Libya.
Fortunately, Libya is still far from Israel, so Libya has enough reaction time.
After receiving the news, Gaddafi hid in a solid basement in the military camp and commanded the battle remotely.
The Americans made great efforts to threaten Libya, and Gaddafi believed that the Americans would definitely come to cause trouble for him. At that time, he did nothing, and the Americans dared to send planes to bomb. Now, the Americans forced him to hand over his wife and would even use force.
The last time the Americans bombing returned in a defeat, this time they also learned a lesson!
Gaddafi ordered the three squadrons of the super seven fighter jets to take off immediately and prepare to face the enemy!
It is better to keep the enemy from being thousands of miles away than to let the Americans fly over their heads and throw bombs! Gaddafi has made up his mind.
In 1985, they dispatched fighter jets several times, but they did not gain any advantage in the American air force at all, and were killed by the Americans. This time, with advanced aircraft and missiles, they were full of confidence. (To be continued.
