This exercise is of great significance. How many years have we waited for this exercise? Everyone is filled with enthusiasm and hopes to achieve the most outstanding results in this exercise.
The night is thick, but the Marine Corps members all wear night vision devices on their helmets. Most people have binoculars. Officers at the squad leader level and above have four vision devices. No matter how dark the night is, they can still see around them like it is daytime.
Case.
The propellers on both sides rotated, and with the roar of the engines, Zhi Thirty pulled onions from the dry land on the deck and took off into the air. After flying to a certain height, the propellers on both sides slowly rotated forward, switching from the vertical take-off and landing stage to the level flight stage.
, this change of posture is very handsome, and people can’t help but want to praise it. This is our most advanced aircraft!
"I heard that the Yankee Osprey has been put into service, but American soldiers are unwilling to ride on it. They would rather fly on the Black Hawk than the Osprey. The crash rate of that thing is too high!"
"That's right, rotating the engine as a whole sounds unreliable. I don't know what the Americans think. Look at us, how easy it is to just rotate the propeller!"
Perhaps in order to relieve the tension, the soldiers on Zhithirty began to discuss.
The Americans were the first to use tilt-rotor aircraft, but after decades of playing with them, they have not matured because one of the biggest problems cannot be solved: reliability.
The weight of the engine is very large. The AE1107C turboshaft engine used in the Osprey can output 6,000 horsepower, which is quite powerful. At the same time, its dead weight is also a full 495 kilograms, which is half a ton.
Is it easy to spin this big thing?
Look at us again, just rotating the propeller, the entire device does not exceed one hundred kilograms, which makes it rotate faster. At the same time, the emergency response capability is faster, and it is easier to adjust the posture according to sudden changes in the airflow, thereby ensuring safety.
.
"Our Eastern technology is the most advanced!"
"Holy shit!" At this moment, someone cursed: "Look, what's down there?"
Under the cover of the pitch-black night, a big guy is coming at a very fast speed. The speed is definitely as fast as a plane, at least 500 kilometers per hour, but the head is super big!
"Peace Dove No. 4." Someone present who knows the goods said: "The take-off weight is two thousand tons, the load capacity is more than one thousand tons, and a fifty-ton main battle tank can transport twenty tanks at a time. The key is speed.
"
"Fifty-ton main battle tank? No, we have to speed up. We can't let the army get the lead!" Everyone became nervous.
At this time, one amphibious ship after another had opened its big mouth, and one hovercraft drove out from inside, rushing towards the exercise target on the opposite side, but obviously, they were still not as fast as the ground-effect aircraft.
When it was a few kilometers close to the target, the ground effect aircraft began to land. When it stopped, it was only half a kilometer away from the beach. Then, a hole opened under its nose, and 63A amphibious tanks drove out from inside.
came out.
Rush, rush, rush!
They were the last to set out, but due to their equipment advantage, they arrived first. At this time, they started the most brilliant exercise. Just like the previous exercises, their tanks were floating on the sea, with almost only the turret exposed.
Then, the entire car body was immersed in the water.
Is it leaking?
Of course it will leak!
It is absolutely impossible for a tank to maintain absolute sealing. Seawater will seep in through various gaps, but don’t worry, there is a water pump under our feet!
There is a special water pump at the bottom of the amphibious tank. As long as water is not poured in, it can pump out all the water that has penetrated and prevent it from sinking.
Soon, the tracks touched the beach, the driver shifted into land gear, and the tank roared onto the beach.
Overhead, a fleet of aircraft was also flying over.
Fighters flew at high altitudes to deal with possible enemies at any time. Helicopters flew at low altitudes. The Marines inside rappelled down or ran down directly. The tanks drove directly up. Soon, a beachhead was opened.
What about the Blues?
Without the participation of the Blue Army, wouldn’t this exercise be just a performance by our Red Army?
There was still a slight hesitation, but this did not affect the speed of action. Everyone quickly rushed towards their target.
Ports, airports, various bases...
The amphibious ship was already empty, unloading the first wave of attack power, and then returned to pick up the second wave. When the sea roared, they could only look at it with envy. The dove of peace flew too fast. They
It’s simply incomparable!
"At the beginning, no one thought that a ground-effect aircraft could be developed. Unexpectedly, it has become such an advanced piece of equipment now!"
"No, this thing also has many flaws. For example, the weather requirements are quite high. If the weather conditions are not met, it cannot fly. Moreover, large ground-effect aircraft can only take off and land at sea. Even if they fly
If you can't land when you're over land, it's all in vain."
"That's awesome enough."
In the era of the Red Empire, General Alexei created the Caspian Sea Monster, but there were many technical problems that could not be solved. In addition, he was not valued by the leaders, and the funds he received were getting less and less.
In the end, when the Red Empire collapsed, the Caspian Sea Monster was not put into practical use.
And now, in the East, it has been given a new life! With the speed of aircraft and the carrying capacity of ships, this big guy can play a huge role in amphibious operations!
The sky in the east slowly turned white, and in the command hall in Zhoushan, everyone felt their eyelids fighting.
"Okay, this second round of exercises is over, now it's time for us to rest."
"Yeah, I need to have a good sleep."
Even Nicholas couldn't stand it anymore. When he was sleepy in the middle of the night, he secretly drank a few sips of wine. Now he was sitting on a chair, snoring softly.
"Everyone, let's go and have a rest. There should be nothing major during the day. We will continue the exercise tonight! By the way, we have sent out the lookout posts. No ships are allowed to pass through our exercise area to avoid accidental injuries!"
In the past, no matter what you did, you would do it during the day, but with the continuous improvement of technology, it has shifted from day to night. Especially when your opponent does not have the same technology but you have it, nighttime has a huge advantage.
.
One warship after another has been busy all night. Those who should sleep go to sleep, and those who should be on duty continue to be on duty. After all, warships work in three shifts. The sailors on duty at night have a great night. They don’t know whether they can fall asleep during the day, but they don’t know if they can sleep at night.
The sailors who have spent the night are now very energetic and preparing for the next drill.
On the rear deck of the Mao Navy Type 1144 cruiser Admiral Razaev, an elevator slowly lifted up a Ka-27 carrier-based helicopter. A few minutes later, the helicopter roared into the air.
They are separated from the main fleet. After all, the main fleet is too large, and the Mao Navy has not opened up the data link, making it inconvenient to communicate. They simply separated it into two exercise battlefields.
At this time, the helicopter began to take on the task of searching.
Although there are early warning aircraft flying in the sky and drones searching, there may still be various loopholes. After all, the sea is too vast, and some ships may not be detected by radar.
Such as fiberglass yachts.
Not long after the Ka-27 took off, I saw a surge of water on the sea. In front of the current was a high-speed yacht!
This yacht is not big, and it looks like it is only a few dozen tons in size. If the wake was not too large and exposed the target, it would be difficult to detect it with the naked eye. When he saw it, the commander behind him, Ivanov, immediately shouted:
"Fly over!"
On the yacht, several people looked at the sky in shock. When they saw the helicopter approaching, their eyes showed despair.
"It seems to be from the Da Mao Navy. I saw the logo on the side of the helicopter!" one person shouted.
"Ask them for help?"
"Of course not, Da Mao's position..."
At this moment, a trumpet sounded in the sky: "Listen to the yachts below, there is an exercise area ahead, please return immediately, please return immediately!"
"Ignore him and keep walking!"
"Don't they understand our Russian?" Ivanov thought for a moment, turned on his phone, and started the translation software inside. Soon, the words were spoken in an Eastern language.
There was still no response from below and they continued to move forward. Now Ivanov became angry and pulled the bolt with a clatter.
Da da da!
The sound of machine gunfire hit the sea in front of the yacht. For a moment, the people in the yacht were startled, and then they raised their hands involuntarily.
"Haha, those idiots, look what they are doing!"
"That's right, they don't understand what we say, and they don't know how to be afraid until we use our guns. These people are so stupid!"
"But they don't need to raise their hands, right? Let's go around in a circle and see what they want to do."
The people below were horrified, but after raising their hands for a long time, they saw no movement from above. Finally, one person cautiously spoke: "Is it true that they don't arrest us, but just want us to go back?"
"Let's go back first and wait until night to see if we can come out."
So, the fiberglass yacht started to drive back again.
Seeing the yacht leaving, the Ka-27 helicopter also began to turn and fly in another direction. The safety of the exercise venue must be ensured, but these people who do not know the heights of the sky cannot be allowed in. If they die, they will have to find their own.
trouble.
With this thought in mind, Ivanov continued to search the sea surface vigilantly.
Overhead, a reconnaissance satellite slid by, its lens pointed downwards, took a few pictures, and then continued to fly forward.
According to the scheduled procedure, the photos should be sent immediately to the communication satellite, and then the communication satellite will transmit the information back. However, just when it was about to send the photos, it suddenly received a new command, so the original photos were deleted, and then several photos
It was transmitted to it through radio waves, and then transmitted to the reconnaissance satellite.
When the photo was sent to the rear, several people took a few glances and made a judgment: it was very normal there. Although the exercise was very noisy, it was... just an exercise, so there is no need to be afraid.
"Over the years, they have never tired of exercises, and they will hold several exercises from time to time." An intelligence officer said with a sarcastic tone: "Unfortunately, they don't understand at all. Exercises are meaningless and will only make people watch.
Go to their foreign stronghold and do it."
"Yes, look at Da Mao. Even if he has no money in his pocket, he will take action when he needs to take action. Therefore, they have never been able to develop."
"So, is it right to only use exercises to show off your muscles?"
"Forget it, let's not discuss this. Since there is nothing here, let's focus the camera on the colonel. We have to find the damn colonel and kill him!"
The exercise continues.
When the amphibious ship finished its second trip, Peace Dove had already made four trips. If it were not for the delay in loading and unloading, they might have made more trips. There was only one 2,000-ton Peace Dove 4 and a 500-ton Peace Dove 3.
There are about ten of them, and the delivery capability of these Peace Doves is almost the same as that of the entire amphibious ship.
However, they are not as good as ro-ro ships.
The real highlight is the RoRo ship!
The displacement of the front ro-ro ship is only 40,000 tons, which is about the same as 075. However, it does not carry carrier-based aircraft, has no hangar, does not have a take-off deck, and does not need to carry a large number of personnel. It can carry all the main cabins.
It is used to load vehicles, so it can load a large number of vehicles!
If ordinary cars are transported, it can transport 7,500 vehicles!
But now, since it is heavy equipment that needs to be transported, not all of its space is used, otherwise it will be overloaded. In the lower two floors, which are also the cabins with the highest carrying capacity, armored crawler tractors are installed.
There is also a clothes drying pole in front, with a total of 400 vehicles installed. On the third floor above, other high-mobility off-road vehicles are installed. This is slightly overloaded, but the impact is not great. Anyway, the weight is concentrated below.
It's almost empty up there.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Behind this 40,000-ton ro-ro ship, there are other ro-ro ships with a displacement of 10,000 to 20,000 tons, as well as inland river transport roulette ships with a displacement of several thousand tons.
The loading ships came to join in the fun. Since the ships were loaded from different docks, they could only gather into a formation along the way. This fleet was mighty and headed for the training ground.
In the early morning, the fleet began to appear in the exercise area. After another two hours of sailing, the fleet finally arrived at the port. After docking steadily, the bridge deck was lowered and a car rumbled from above.
Go down.
The exercise has entered the third stage!
The other side of the world, the Mediterranean Sea.
After a long journey, the Charles de Gaulle finally sailed into the relevant waters.
Although the French really want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, but seeing that the world police has suffered such heavy losses, they have to come forward. After all, they still have to remain consistent on many positions.
However, they are very cautious. After all, if their equipment is also lost, I am afraid no one will pay for them, so they have to be more careful.
"They should no longer have the ability to attack." On the ship island, First Officer Maletel said: "After all, they only have two stealth aircraft, and they have all been shot down."
"Who told you they only have two stealth aircraft?" Captain Guillaume looked at the sea in the distance with complicated eyes, worry on his face.
"Do they have more stealth machines? The Mingzhou Group must not do this, otherwise... they will become the public enemy of the entire West!"
"Stealth machines have spread a lot. Even if the colonel has more stealth machines, can he say they were given by the Mingzhou Group?" Guillaume continued: "You have to use your brain!"
"yes."
"Look, what is that?" Suddenly, someone shouted.
On the sea in the distance, the outline of a huge ship appeared. At this time, one side had tilted, and it seemed that it would sink into the sea at any time, but it seemed that it was still struggling and struggling.
"That's an Aegis battleship." Malateer said: "That kind of super battleship has ended up like this. We..."
What does the French Navy have? The equipment they have on hand is not only inferior to that of the Americans, but even the British Navy!
One aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, two amphibious assault ships, the Mistral class, but these are all offensive forces, what about the fleet's defense?
During the Cold War, the Europeans knew that their defense capabilities were not very good, so they decided to jointly develop them. Unfortunately, the three monks ran out of water and eventually parted ways. The British independently developed the Type 45, and France and Italy jointly developed the Horizon-class destroyer.
They still can't play with the modern air defense ships with four-sided phased array radar, so they can only settle for the next best thing and come up with a rotating antenna radar. Moreover, their radar is worse than the Sampson radar on the Type 45.
Even such a warship cannot be built quickly by French shipbuilding companies.
The first steel plate of the Forban, the first ship of the Horizon class, was cut in 2002, launched in March 2005, and then began a long period of testing. It has not yet reached the state of being delivered to the troops.
The British knew that cooperation was slow and they came up with the Type 45. It was finally put into service, but it frequently failed and turned into a joke.
As for the Aquitaine-class frigates jointly developed by France and Italy, the order has just been placed, and completion is still far away. Therefore, the only air defense ships they can use at present are the old Casal-class destroyers and Lafayette-class frigates.
It used to be very dazzling, but now it is just like that.
Why is such a fleet here here? Looking for excitement?
But they had to come. The British navy, which had broken its shaft and lost its locks, came, and the French navy also had to show their respect.
"Reporting that we received news from the United States, they requested to take over our command and direct our carrier-based aircraft to conduct ground attacks."
Upon hearing the news, Guillaume immediately shook his head: "Of course not! Our fleet can only be commanded by us, others do not have this power!"
Are you kidding me? The Yankees must have suffered heavy losses and are eager to regain face. If they are allowed to command them, wouldn't they be used as cannon fodder by the Yankees?
"Humph, don't the Americans feel that their strength has been greatly weakened, so they want to weaken our strength?" Malateer said: "We can't be fooled!"
"Tell them that we can be given an attack mission, and we will assess the danger of the target before deciding whether to launch an attack," Guillaume said.
