Chapter 193 Returning to China

On the Black Sea, a formation was sailing through the wind and waves.

There are not many ships in this formation, only four, but sometimes, it is absolutely impossible to look at the number.

Two of these four warships have discharged more than 10,000 tons, and tens of thousands of tons.

From the sky, both warships have large decks, the first one has a leap deck and a side bridge, which all show their identity and are quasi-aircraft carriers in the complete sense.

However, the Soviet Union would never say that. In the Soviet Union's statement, both of these ships were called heavy-carrier cruisers.

Next to them is a Fearless Class and a Modern Class destroyer.

No one will despise their strength in such a formation.

Abdul looked at the sea in the distance, with great magnificence, and his mood was surging with the sea. They were finally going back to their country!

Now, the first phase of the sea trial of the Baghdad has come to an end. They completed a year of work in half a year, because the changes in the external international environment left them with little time. Under this circumstance, Iraq's naval personnel burst out with great enthusiasm and work experience.

Although the Kuznetsov's sea trial lasted for several years, it was because it was the first large aircraft carrier to go straight to the deck, and many tasks needed to be completed on it. For example, the takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft required a lot of preparations in advance before it could be carried out. Many things must be done after it first tried, and on the latter ships, the progress was much faster. On the other hand, it was also because of the problems in the Soviet Union that the workers were passively slacking off and the progress was very slow. These situations did not happen on Iraq's aircraft carriers. Moreover, the Baghdad was loaded with mature electronic equipment, such as the sky sentry, whose technology was not mature, and Iraq was not equipped, which shortened the time.

After completing the sea trial, the aircraft carrier embarked on the road to return home.

Now, Kusai is not willing to have a direct conflict with Turkey. Although the intelligence agencies of the Mesikh Bureau are inciting the Turkish Kurds' armed forces, they cannot be explained in public.

After Türkiye announced a ban on their warships from passing, Kusai began to arrange new situations.

Türkiye is just a clown who can only show his power with Iraq at most. Although the Soviet Union has weakened, it is still there after all.

So, this time their warship was just a heavy aircraft cruiser from the Soviet Union, called the Vodka. The flag of their warship was also flying above them.

At the same time, another Soviet aircraft carrier, the Kuznetsov, finally completed the final sea trial and prepared to go to its home port, the naval base of the Northern Fleet.

However, there is still a long way to go from the Black Sea to their base. Now, due to the deterioration of the Soviet finance, the navy has not raised enough funds. Therefore, Iraq once again developed a friendly style and provided them with road fees.

Anyway, we have to leave, so why not leave together.

In later generations, this aircraft carrier was also put into service in 1991, but it was still stationed in Ukraine's port at that time.

In addition to these two warships, a modern class destroyer of the Soviet Navy and another Fearless Class anti-submarine ship from Iraq were also built, so they simply dispatched together. In this way, the four warships began to march together.

To Türkiye, the Soviet Navy greeted him as usual.

Although the Bosphorus Strait is considered Turkey in terms of ownership, because both sides of its straits are Turkey's territory, if Turkey regards it as its own, it will open the door if it wants to close it, then the Black Sea will completely become Turkey's inland sea. In this case, other countries along the Black Sea, especially the Soviet Union, will definitely not agree.

Among the four major Soviet fleets, the northern fleet was the largest, the second in the Black Sea Fleet. The scale of the Black Sea Fleet alone exceeded the strength of Britain, the third naval power in the world. If Turkey does not agree to the Black Sea Fleet passing through this strait, it is obviously going to be beaten.

Therefore, in 1936, countries held an international conference on the issue of the Turkish Strait, and that ships of various countries can pass through the straits freely, and warships of countries along the Black Sea coast can also pass through, with the exception of aircraft carriers, which have certain restrictions on the passage of warships of countries other than Black Sea coast.

During the Cold War after World War II, the Soviet Union repeatedly put pressure on Türkiye, but the result was backfire and pushed Türkiye into the arms of the United States.

Despite this, the Soviet Union never cared about Turkey's reaction. In order to cover up their shame, all the super-large warships they built were called heavy-carrying aircraft cruisers.

As long as Iraq and the Soviet Union do not recognize these warships, they are all warships of the Soviet Navy. According to the treaty, Turkey cannot restrict their passage.

Moreover, they did not take into account the Turks' reactions at all. As usual, they informed the Turks and began their voyage.

The Black Sea Shipyard has built four warships, and now it needs to pass through the Bosphorus. Two of them will pass through the Mediterranean and to the Northern Fleet, and the other two will pass through the Suez Canal and to the Pacific Fleet. It's that simple.

So, what will Türkiye react? They don’t know yet, but although the Red Empire has fallen now, the Red Empire’s navy is still very powerful, and they are not afraid of the watchdog at all.

The four propellers at the tail are spinning, and now they are sailing at economic speed.

An MR-710 "top plate" on the top of the bridge is working, searching for the surrounding sea and in the air, getting closer and closer to Istanbul.

Although this strait is only a few hundred meters wide and the size of the aircraft carrier is already very large, it is still insignificant compared to the strait.

On the deck, two Su-27Ks were quietly staying on the takeoff line. Abdul knew that although they were in the name of the Soviet Navy, the real situation might not be hidden from the audience. The Turks would not do anything to the Kuznetsov, and they might make some small moves for them.

Therefore, in order to deal with the unexpected, the two Su-27Ks were ready to take off and face the enemy at any time. Moreover, they were waiting for orders on one end of the catapult.

The bridge in the distance, led by a steel cable, was getting closer and closer, and gradually drove into the middle line of the strait, but there was no special experience.

The Turks' reaction was that they did not respond.

At the instigation of the United States, they announced a ban on the warship from passing through their straits. Although they are also NATO countries, the relationship with the United States is not as strong as that of Britain. Moreover, they are now facing serious Kurdish problems at home. Armed conflicts between government forces and Kurds are becoming increasingly serious. The United States is putting pressure on the Turkish government for various purposes and condemning their ethnic policies to create these contradictions. Therefore, Turkey has no response when he sees the Soviet warship passing.

Although Türkiye does not respond, it does not mean that the United States does not respond. They are waiting for an opportunity.

The Cold War has ended, and there will be no large-scale confrontation between the two sides. However, it is not impossible for American fighter jets to visit the "Soviet" aircraft carriers, right?

Abdul breathed a sigh of relief after passing through the strait safely.

"The alarm is lifted, and sail towards the Suez Canal according to the original plan!" Abdul ordered.

The sound of whistle sounded, and in the central Aegean, they bid farewell to two Soviet warships and parted ways.

On the deck, Reyer, who had been in the cockpit for three hours, finally received the order to remove the alarm. He breathed a sigh of relief and was not easy to stand by on the fighter plane.

A trailer below is preparing to drag the landing gear in front and pull it back to the stoppage position.

The canopy hood was already opened, and Abdul breathed in big breaths. After a while, when he reached the stoppage position, he could get off the plane.

Since most of the Su-27Ks have flew back to Geshm Island in advance and were trained there, there are now only eight Su-27K fighter jets on the Baghdad, four of which are under maintenance in the hangar, two in the deck shutdown area, and the other two are on standby at any time.

The remaining anti-submarine helicopters and Su-25 attack aircraft ordered by Iraq will return to Iraq with the ship.

In fact, the current aircraft carrier does not have full combat capabilities, and its effectiveness depends on the entire aircraft carrier combat group. However, since Iraq has trained in advance, they already have certain combat capabilities when they return to their country.

Reyer moved his thighs and loosened his seat belt. Suddenly, a signal sounded on the deck, which was the order to take off urgently!

Reyer thought, and an order had been sent from the radio: "001,002, take off immediately, and an airplane flew in the area 270!"

The entire deck immediately became busy and nervously prepared.

Then, as white smoke emerged from the deck, two Su-27Ks were ejected.

Reyer has been flying this kind of fighter jet for several years. He has mastered the performance of this kind of aircraft more thoroughly. He was originally a very talented pilot who could fully utilize the maneuverability of the Su-27K.

After relaxing and the huge acceleration passed, the two planes left the Baghdad one after another and flew towards 270 according to the guidance of their own radar.

A four-propeller aircraft flew low on the sea surface, and its fuselage was covered with various antennas. This is the main electronic reconnaissance aircraft of the US Navy, EP-3.

Now, its mission is to collect electromagnetic signals from this aircraft carrier.

The EP-3 flew from the sea and has intercepted the radar signal of the aircraft carrier. In air detection, it does not install a sky sentinel radar, but uses a backward roof radar?

Other electromagnetic signals, such as communication signals, are also being collected by it.

It is not the time of war, and it is the high seas, so it flies unscrupulously.

As long as they did not fly over the Baghdad, it could not be said to have violated the "Soviet" navy. During the Cold War, they did so much.
