"Float to a depth of 20 meters."
At this time, no one would have thought that just three hundred kilometers away from the naval battle, the huge Oscar-class nuclear submarine was already in place.
Inside the submarine, captain Suslov gave the order.
Float to 20 meters!
The elevator of the submarine began to move, the bow of the ship rose, and the huge submarine slowly climbed upward.
At the back of the submarine, two huge propellers were slowly turning, stirring the sea, unspeakably secret.
"Twenty meters deep, level the boat."
A huge submarine cannot be operated by one person. It requires multiple people to work together. Of course, with the development of computer technology and the advancement of automation, some actions can be handed over to machines to operate, but people are also necessary and they must always supervise them. With all this.
"Put the satellite dish, ready to receive satellite data." Suslov continued.
This is the daily routine of the submarine. Now, even though they are very close to the Falklands, they still venture to ascend just to obtain accurate information.
It is very difficult for a submarine to detect the outside world. Even if the submarine’s own sonar system is used, the search distance is very close. The search distance for the bow of the sonar is only tens of kilometers. If the towed array sonar is used, it will be improved by a level. That is, hundreds of kilometers.
However, the anti-ship missiles they carry can easily be launched hundreds of kilometers away. For them, the farther they are launched, the less likely they are to be hit.
For example, if they do not borrow external conditions and only use their own capabilities, they must be close to a distance of one hundred kilometers to fight. Then, after they have launched the missile, the other party’s carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft has already taken off, even if it is. The anti-submarine helicopter can also catch up quickly, and then beat the master to death indiscriminately.
Just using the oldest deep bomb and throwing it down, they may not be able to retreat completely. If they are launched three hundred kilometers away, the safety can be improved by a level.
This requires the cooperation of the outside world.
If it were the Soviet naval operations, there would have been various maritime reconnaissance aircraft that had cooperated. They could complete the launch of missiles 500 kilometers away, and then leave leisurely. The mission of guided missile mid-range was given to the reconnaissance aircraft. Up.
Or, leave it to the missile itself.
That's right, the missile is a large formation, and now, they plan to adopt such a tactic. What they need is the position data of the opponent's aircraft carrier formation, and this data needs to be given through satellites.
That's right, submarine anti-ship warfare is definitely not something that a submarine can handle alone. Any time, it belongs to the entire system of warfare.
On the control tower, a satellite antenna buoy rose up and quickly floated to the surface of the sea. Then, a steady stream of data was passed down through satellites.
"The target is three hundred kilometers away from us. It is a good opportunity to prepare for the launch immediately!"
Suslov got excited and came early, it's better to come by coincidence!
The data transmitted by the satellite is the latest. The opponent’s aircraft carrier formation is 300 kilometers away from the eastern coast of the Falklands. At this time, a large number of Argentine fighters are preparing to attack their fleet. The fleet took off with a large number of fighters to meet the enemy, it is a good time to attack!
A godsend!
The warning lights of the attack were constantly shining inside the submarine. At this moment, everyone quickly made preparations for launch.
The Oscar-class submarine carries 24 granite missiles. This is the third-generation anti-ship missile of the Soviet Union. It is the newest one. It is completely customized for the US aircraft carrier. Now this attack is also an actual combat test to confirm it. The combat effectiveness of this weapon system.
"The No. 1 launch tube is ready."
"The second launch tube is ready."
One by one voices kept reporting that this kind of missile has been solidified. The preparation before launch is just to bind the missile data. Now, everything is being quickly prepared, and after ten minutes, it will be completely ready.
"Report to Moscow and request an attack." Suslov said.
Along the way, they did not have any contact with Moscow, they were all one-way. They received the news, but did not report back, just for concealment. Now, in the final stage of the attack, they are finally going to make a report.
The radio wave flew out of the satellite antenna and flew into the vast space. Three minutes later, the command was finally received.
Start attacking!
"Ready to attack!"
Following Suslov's command, an operator pressed his finger to the button.
No one saw that in the sea, the huge Oscar-class submarine, on both sides of the hull, opened the lids of the launching tubes one by one under the action of the hydraulic press. The sea water poured in, and there was an instant sound of rushing water.
Underwater submarine-launched missiles are divided into wet launch and dry launch. Wet launches are mostly large ballistic missiles, especially Mao Zi is very good at this technology, first open the hatch, fill the launch chamber with water, and then start in the water to launch the missile.
For dry launch, the hatch is opened, but there is still a layer on the missile barrel. After the missile is ignited, the upper sealing layer will be broken before sea water will come in.
The launch of this cruise missile is very similar to ballistic missiles.
After the water is injected, it will balance the weight reduction caused by the launch of the missile.
Now, the launch has entered an irreversible process. Once water starts to enter, it cannot be discharged. The missile must be shot out.
"emission!"
Following Suslov's command, the operator pressed his finger to the launch button, and then the entire submarine sank suddenly.
That's right, even an Oscar-class nuclear submarine with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons will be affected by huge recoil when launching missiles.
The huge granite missile ignited at its tail, and a hot flame emerged. It left the launch tube. Its flame also pushed the submarine downward. When the submarine sank, it stirred countless water splashes.
The first missile left the launch tube and drilled upwards out of the water. The hot flames rose, and thick smoke enveloped the entire sea.
After the first missile left the launch tube, the second missile also drilled out of the launch tube.
(After checking the information for a long time, I didn't find the specific one. Is it popped out with compressed air and ignited when it reaches the surface of the sea? Or is it ignited in the launch tube? It is written according to the ignition in the launch tube.)
The granite missiles left the submarine one by one. On the sea, smoke pillars rushed straight into the sky, forming a forest of smoke pillars. The revenge of the Soviet navy began again. It failed twice. This time it will never fail again!
When the missile went out to sea, it was immediately discovered by the E-2 early warning aircraft. This early warning aircraft was originally commanded by hiding behind the fleet. When the radar officer spotted the extra bright spot on the screen, he was instantly shocked. Up. (End of this chapter)
