Chapter 1,444 The trawler made meritorious service
On the other side, after hearing the news, Swift's expression changed drastically.
"What, trawler, our submarine was forced to surface?" Swift listened to the report of his subordinates and couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, our Jacksonville was forced to surface, and due to the entanglement of fishing nets, the propeller at the tail could not rotate, so it could only continue to float on the sea."
"What on earth did these poor guys do?" Swift did not curse these poor guys, he just felt a little incredible, how did these people get themselves into such a mess? It shouldn't be.
"I don't know. They are currently trying to untie the fishing net entangled in the tail, but it is very difficult. The exercise fleet of the Inudao Navy, which is the nearest, has sent a message and is willing to help us."
"Huh, why are you providing help? It would be embarrassing if they helped us." Swift said: "As long as it floats on the sea, there will be no problem. Send our tugboat to respond."
"However, the Inudao Navy and the navies of other countries are preparing to hold exercises in that sea area. What if our tugboat gets close to there and is accidentally hit by them?"
"They dare!"
"They don't have the guts. If they had the guts, they would have attacked our submarines directly. They used trawlers just to avoid breaking up with us," Swift said.
"Is this a trick they're playing?"
"Yes, it's their trick. They must have received guidance from an expert."
Having said this, Swift clenched his fists, being restrained in every way and unable to fight back, which gave him a sense of powerlessness.
Just when Swift was annoyed, on the other side, the fleets on the ocean were looking at the nuclear submarine floating on the sea with gloating eyes.
Because the nuclear submarine completely lost its power and could only drift on the sea, in order to avoid a collision, other ships were separated from it by more than two nautical miles. At this time, they were raising their telescopes and looking at this unlucky guy.
"Those guys actually want to use manpower to untie the fishing nets. How is this possible?"
"Yeah, they should try to reverse the car, maybe the fishing net will be untied."
"Impossible, the shaft is stuck. If they dare to start the propeller at this time, they will wait for the turbine to explode."
On the huge aircraft carrier island, Salman was also holding a telescope and looking at the scene below. The Los Angeles-class submarine on the sea was like a clown, and he finally let out a bad breath!
"Instructor Wild Dog, you are so amazing!" Salman said: "Your idea successfully helped us solve a big problem. This picture will soon spread to the world. You said that there will be
What kind of comment?"
"When one side is in trouble, all sides are watching." Delano suddenly said in Eastern dialect. Only people with a basic foundation in Eastern culture would understand this joke.
However, Salman still showed a cooperative smile on his face: "Yes, we are just watching. This day is the most embarrassing time for the U.S. Navy. The whole world will remember this day. We are not a place for them to do whatever they want.
!”
The Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine has never been so embarrassed since it entered service. The Jacksonville has rammed into others several times since it was put into service. Although it got an unpleasant nickname, at least it never lost and won every time it collided.
Only this time.
It has lost its former dignity and all pride. It is like a rooster that has failed in a fight, wandering aimlessly. A star-spangled flag is flying on its command tower, as if it is deliberately showing off its dignity, but it is
It makes people have the urge to despise even more. At the tail of it, several sailors wearing orange life jackets are busy. Unfortunately, with the strength of a few of them, they can't pull off the fishing net weighing several tons. They can.
Use a knife to cut slowly, and it will probably take three to five months to cut. It only takes time and effort to grind the iron pestle into a needle.
At this time, Bostwick's eyes were extremely angry as he looked at the warships watching around him. He knew that these warships were here to see his joke. He also knew that his submarine was properly covered by fishing nets underwater.
, it must be the conspiracy of these people. Now he wants to use torpedoes to kill these guys.
However, he could only look around helplessly, looking at the initiators, and clenched his fists.
The waves came up and wet his officer's uniform. This command tower was also called a bathtub, and it definitely lived up to its name.
"Report to the captain, the tugboat is on its way and is expected to arrive in four hours."
"Damn, tell them to hurry up, I feel like a monkey in a zoo right now!" Bostwick said.
Originally, the exercise was supposed to be officially held today, but now, Salman, who is responsible for organizing the exercise, has no intention of starting the exercise at all. The naval ships arriving from other countries have not rushed the exercise. Everyone is watching the fun.
It is impossible for civilian helicopters to fly over the exercise area, but the big dog did it for you, videotaped the entire process, and directly broadcast it, so that the world can see the pitiful state of this submarine. Look at the world's number one navy, it is just a paper tiger.
.
"Decades ago, our leader once said that all imperialisms are paper tigers. As long as we can unite as one, we will not be afraid of any threats." On the aircraft carrier, Delano continued.
If an Oriental person said this, it would be normal, but when it came out of Delano's mouth, he said it so seriously that several other instructors from the Orient present couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Yes, as long as we are united, we can protect the security of our region." Salman said: "We have fought several wars in the Middle East and failed in the end because we were not united. Now, we must unite again.
."
"Report, the Eastern Navy is coming to join us!"
No. 168 braved the wind and waves, overcame obstacles, and was coming as fast as possible. It was the last to arrive in the entire exercise formation. After all, it had to escort the escorting merchant ships to the Red Sea, and would not return until it was safe.
After receiving this news, everyone shifted their gaze and looked at the sea to the west. A beautiful warship appeared in their eyes. The phased array radar antennas on both sides of the warship were so beautiful!
Aegis Battleship!
They will also have the Aegis battleship in the future!
Now, they are already looking forward to the future when they own such warships. By then, the entire aircraft carrier fleet will be like an iron barrel!
On the outside of the formation, on the 054 frigate that is responsible for the escort mission, Mahmoud is full of expectations. They will also be assigned this kind of Aegis warship in the future!
Looking at the approaching fleet in the distance, Li Pingfan was also very excited. He knew that his Aegis battleship came to the Gulf of Aden for the first time to perform escort missions. It must be extraordinary. On the way here, he and Goudahu's aircraft carrier
We formed a formation and conducted various coordination trainings. After arriving, we visited the port of Goudahu. Now, the mission is not over yet, we have caught up with this exercise again, and we are still the mainstay in the exercise.
"No. 168 called the Fahd, No. 168 called the Fahd, requesting to join the formation, and requesting to participate in the Blue Sword military exercise!"
"Fahd received, welcome to join the formation, welcome to join the formation, please sail to the port side of our ship, the exercise is about to begin!"
Salman is also in a good mood. Now, he has been guarding this nuclear submarine for several hours and is tired of it. Since the other party is unwilling to seek help from us, then we will ignore them next and we will abandon it and hold the Blue Sword.
There's a military exercise.
What will be the fate of this submarine? It depends on their own fate.
"Received on the 168th."
The addition of warships with four-sided phased array radars immediately made the entire fleet look more spectacular. After all, except for the aircraft carrier, the other warships only had a displacement of two to three thousand tons. The big ones were too big and the small ones were too small.
Disproportional. Now, with No. 168, it can finally be balanced.
"Next, the first subject of the exercise. Attention all warships, now, a group of terrorists have occupied Masirah Island. We need to deal with the enemies there and regain our own territory!"
"yes!"
Masirah Island, one of the eleven provinces of Aman, is 95 kilometers long and 14 kilometers wide. It is only a dozen kilometers away from the mainland. It used to be very prosperous and had a shipbuilding industry. Of course, at that time,
The shipbuilding industry was the construction of wooden ships. Later, the fishing and textile industries replaced the shipbuilding industry. Later, the island became even more empty, with only a small town of Rashilf and a few small villages, and then there was a
The fish factory processes all kinds of fish caught, and there are no other civilian facilities.
The northeast corner of Masirah Island is a military base, with an aviation base and a naval base. However, considering Aman's military strength, the base here seems very desolate, so Aman dedicated this place to this time
Exercise use.
The content of the exercise is that a small group of gangsters take control of the base here, and then the navies of various countries come together to provide help and kill the gangsters.
"Attention, prepare to launch missiles!"
At present, there are no modern long-range land attack missiles on the warships in the exercise. They still use the most common C802 anti-ship missile. However, in addition to anti-ship, this missile can also carry out ground attack.
"Fire!"
White smoke rose up from the warships one after another, and the C802 missiles left the missile launchers one after another and headed for the land dozens of kilometers away. Before the navy arrived, they were already carrying wolves and tigers with them.
The momentum rushed over!
Under the sunset, the white smoke looked so spectacular. Salman stood on the island and was very satisfied: "We also have advanced weapon systems, and we can carry out cross-sea strikes at any time!"
In Rest Bay, on the aircraft carrier Lincoln, Swift's face was still gloomy.
The Jacksonville was like a clown, being watched by a group of local navies. Now that those navies had left, it did not make them less embarrassed, but made them even more embarrassed.
They watched the navies clumsily launch anti-ship missiles for land attacks, but they couldn't laugh.
"Thirty-six in total, these guys are really luxurious!"
"Yes, the big dogs are rich anyway, so all the military expenses for this exercise were paid by the big dogs."
"This is to learn from us and use cruise missiles as the first wave of strike force, but their missiles are still too poor."
"The missile difference is only temporary. In the future, they can obtain longer-range cruise missiles from the East at any time. With slight improvements, the range can exceed 300 kilometers or even reach thousands of kilometers."
Although Dongfang did not sign the international agreement, it theoretically abided by the international agreement. The range of the missiles exported by Dongfang never exceeded 300 kilometers. However, when it is in the hands of customers, how they modify it has nothing to do with them.
This made them itchy, but there was nothing they could do.
"The aircraft carrier has begun to take off carrier-based aircraft, and what follows is a round of carrier-based aircraft bombing."
"Not only carrier-based aircraft, but also land-based fighter jets." The intelligence officer said: "We have noticed that their fighter jets have also assembled. Just as they are advancing towards the exercise target, their land-based fighter jets have also begun to take off.
Let me take a look at the numbers sent back by the early warning aircraft. Oh, God, they actually mobilized hundreds of fighter planes!"
Among the fighter jets of big players, the number of stealth jets is still very small, while there are many non-stealth jets.
Just talking about the F-15 fighter, which is still the main force of the United States, there are a large number of big fans. Since the purchase of 48 F-15C fighter jets from the United States in 1982, the big fans have been particularly fond of this kind of fighter; in 1987, they purchased 9 more F-15C fighters.
F-15C fighter jets; in 1990, 18 F-15C fighter jets were purchased again, and in 1993, 72 F-15S fighter jets were purchased from the United States. Just this kind of heavy air superiority fighter jets are in the hands of big dogs.
There are several digits in the number of crashes.
In addition to this, the big dog owners also have a large number of Tornado fighter jets on hand. They purchased 72 Tornado fighter jets from the United Kingdom in 1985 and purchased an additional 48 Tornado fighter jets in 1993. This type of fighter jet also has a very powerful ground attack capability.
.
Now, the big dog owners have taken off hundreds of fighter jets. This is definitely an all-out dispatch! Yes, it is an all-out dispatch, not because they don't want to take off more planes, but because they don't have more pilots.
"Did they send out AWACS for air control?" Swift asked.
"Yes, they dispatched early warning aircraft purchased from the East."
When he heard this, Swift frowned: "Didn't they dispatch the E-3 purchased from us?"
Hundreds of fighter planes are performing combat missions at the same time, and good air control capabilities are necessary. Otherwise, let alone the fighter planes, their safety cannot be guaranteed. These planes cannot fly in a swarm. They must be divided into batches, altitudes and airspaces.
Gradually contact the enemy, and at the same time there must be various divisions of labor.
Only strategic early warning aircraft of the E-3 level can have this kind of command capability. Other aircraft are not so advanced.
Now, E-3 is not dispatched, but is dispatched with a balance beam purchased from the East. What is going on?
Swift's face became serious.
"Yes, they should be trying to avoid leaking secrets. If they use E-3, we will probably steal the information."
"This is just one of the possibilities, there is another possibility." Swift frowned: "For example, they modified our aircraft so that they can communicate with the balance beam early warning aircraft they purchased from the East.
"
The expressions of everyone present changed.
With hundreds of fighter planes, it is impossible to use voice guidance. After all, the voice channel is limited, and the era has long transitioned to the information age. The data link installed on the aircraft can directly receive the guidance data from the early warning aircraft.
Of course, American-made aircraft and British-made aircraft use Western Link4 data links. These data links are impossible to be compatible with Eastern systems. Now, the other party can use their early warning aircraft to guide Western-made aircraft, which means that
, they have completed the integration of the data link!
Have they already deciphered the Link4 data link? Or have they used their own data link to receive the terminal, and then deciphered the fighter's fire control system and integrated it together? No matter what it is, for them, it is
It has a huge impact.
Do they want to upgrade all aircraft to avoid leaks?
"Damn it!" Thinking of these possibilities, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.
"Report, the tugboat has received the Jacksonville and is preparing to tow it."
"Got it." Swift waved his hand. Now, no one is paying attention to this unlucky submarine. Everyone is paying attention to more important exercises. This exercise held by Goudahu and other navies in the region is clearly for
They US Navy show off their muscles.
This gave them a very complicated feeling in their hearts. Thinking back to the beginning, this was a friendly army. How did they get to this situation step by step?
An officer suddenly thought of something: "Now, we will immediately cut off their GPS signal and make their drill a mess!"
"That's right, it is!"
The next second, the GPS flying overhead stopped sending time signals, and all satellite positioning systems below also stopped.
The exercise continued. Under the setting sun, missiles flew to the targets that had been prepared on the shore and exploded at close range near the targets.
"Impossible, how did they do it? All those missiles actually hit the target? This shouldn't be the case!"
"The missile has a very short range. In such a short distance, inertial guidance can ensure accuracy. There is nothing surprising about it."
"No, they must have other means!"
Swift had a look of reluctance on his face: "If I guessed correctly, their Beidou second-generation system has covered this sea area. In addition to receiving our GPS signals, their missiles will also receive Beidou satellite signals, so
, we want to restrict them by cutting off satellite navigation, but we can no longer do it!”
Every advanced technology has been broken through by the Orientals, and the methods available to our own side are becoming less and less! After the Star incident, the Orientals began to work hard to develop their own satellite navigation systems. Now, the European Galileo project is still in progress
In the midst of controversy, the Beidou system of Easterners has developed to the second generation!
