A lone aircraft carrier sailing on the sea, even if there is a reconnaissance satellite flying overhead, it is not easy to find, it is the same as finding a needle in a haystack.
At this time, the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier was sailing on the ocean.
take off!
The white smoke on the deck, a Tomcat fighter ejected from the catapult into the air, since they set off, they have been conducting high-intensity training every day, mastering the operating skills on the aircraft carrier, ready to participate in military operations. .
The modified Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier has an updated catapult, but due to power problems, it still can’t eject a full-loaded Tomcat fighter jet. However, the situation of the Tomcat fighter aircraft mounted with six Phoenix taking off and intercepted is extremely special. Yes, the general mount is two, and the maximum is four, so if you take advantage of the headwind, it will still be no problem to take off and land.
Nathan stood on the bridge, watching the busy operations on the deck, the century-old navy, this sentence is true, the British navy has a history of hundreds of years, and their operations are quite in place.
"We are only one day away from Chile." Lieutenant Colonel Brown said to Nathan: "Tonight, a supply ship will join us to replenish us with oil and water."
The combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier formation is huge, and it is also inseparable from logistical support. If it is on a high-intensity battlefield, the aircraft carrier needs to be recharged almost once a week, and their lonely aircraft carrier consumes fuel and fresh water during its voyage. It is also very large. Every time a carrier-based aircraft is ejected, a lot of sea water is wasted.
"Well, Lieutenant Colonel Brown, after we replenish this time, there may be a mission."
As Nathan was talking, he saw Emily walk in: "The CIA's reconnaissance satellites have already gained something. In the Zapala area, there is a newly built field airport where huge bombers are being assembled. It was determined to be Figure 16. ."
There is no digital camera technology for later generations. The reconnaissance satellite still shoots film and then sends the film back. Although the information cannot be received in time, the picture taken with the film is quite clear.
After researching and judging, they finally found the target, and the latitude and longitude have also been marked.
Although the image was not transmitted to the aircraft carrier, as long as the information was available, it was enough.
Nathan looked at the large-scale map and said, "It is indeed Figure 16. In this case, let's get ready to act."
After the flight training, the pilots gathered in the combat command room. Nathan looked at everyone and said, "Tell everyone good news. We have found the Soviet air base in Argentina. Our next task is Go destroy it!"
Nathan’s words surprised everyone. After modifying the route, everyone knew that they were here to perform a secret mission. Now, this mission has finally been implemented, which is to bomb the Soviet air base in Argentina.
Who would have thought that after the war, Argentina quickly came together with the Soviet Union, and now, the Soviets actually deployed terrible bombers on Argentine territory.
If the U.S. protests diplomatically, it can only be a rush to make them change their deployment locations, and it is the right way for them to blow him up now, and everyone's faces are eager to try.
"Tonight, we are going to replenish oil and water, and make preparations before departure. Before dawn tomorrow, we will take off from the aircraft carrier. By the dawn of the day, we will have entered the mountains of Chile and have been flying between them for half an hour. Over the mountains, flying at a very low altitude, and reaching the sky above the target, it was time for them to eat breakfast." Nathan said: "Let us use bombs to greet them!"
Everyone is eager to try.
"In this bombing mission, we used 20 Tomcat fighters and carried cluster bombs to completely destroy this place!" Nathan continued.
After the f14 was just produced, it was an absolute fighter, not a pound of weight was used to attack the ground, until later, when it was improved to the f14d, it had the ability to attack the ground and became a bomb cat.
Although these F14 fighters produced for the UK have been improved, they still do not have the ability to use precision-guided weapons and cannot use various air-to-surface missiles. However, there is still no problem with mounting bombs.
After all, the British Navy’s aircraft carriers are small cargo, and it is impossible to be equipped with a variety of carrier-based aircraft. They must have multi-purpose capabilities.
Twenty Tomcats are almost the limit of their dispatch at one time. At the same time, cluster bombs are also a terrible weapon.
This type of bomb is a collection of small bombs into a general aerial bomb. Each small bomb is called a sub-bomb, so it is also called a sub-bomb. Specifically, it means that several to hundreds of sub-bombs are loaded into a projectile of the same size as a general bomb, each of which has a ball about the size of a tennis ball. After being airdropped by an aircraft, it disintegrates in the air, and causes regional damage by spreading sub-bombs to a wide range of ground. Using its quantitative characteristics to increase the coverage area and killing range, it can be used to attack cluster targets such as cluster tanks, armored combat vehicles, troop assembly areas, or large-area targets such as airport runways, and has strong damage capabilities.
If you want to completely blow up this air force base, using cluster bombs is the best way. At the same time, using this kind of cluster bombs can also blow up all the personnel!
The Soviets could only swallow this breath.
After all, they were sneaking in. All of their personnel had to be dressed as mercenaries, and had nothing to do with the Soviet government. If the place was bombed, they would not dare to speak out.
Just to teach them a lesson, tell them not to interfere in this war!
On the Vietnam battlefield, the US military used a large number of cluster bombs, and the effect was quite good.
Everyone was excited.
"Our early warning aircraft will support our operation and guide the whole process. However, in order to achieve the suddenness of the attack, we must fly at ultra-low altitude. This is still a major challenge. Therefore, this time I will follow along in this event. For air strikes, I am the lead plane."
When Nathan said so, some people suddenly became unwilling.
"Nathan, your position is on the aircraft carrier, not on the front line." Lieutenant Colonel Brown said first: "If you participate in the ground attack battle, what if someone comes to attack our aircraft carrier at this time?"
Nathan, this guy, hasn't fought for a long time, and his hands are itchy again. After going to sea this time, he also followed the training of carrier-based aircraft, knowing that he wanted to show his hand, but this is definitely not good! (End of this chapter)
