The cold wind blew the Nikolayev shipyard, and the Black Sea in winter was a little cold.

Wrapped his whole body in a thick coat, the group came to the Black Sea Shipyard.

Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev, Defense Minister Ogalkov and others accompanied Mhamad and his group to the ship platform.

The high cranes and the steel and welding flowers everywhere made Mhamad dizzy. As an ordinary person, standing here, it seemed as if there was endless power to conquer the world.

On the dock on the far side, a large aircraft carrier with straight decks is being installed. The entire deck is flat, and only the jump deck extending from the front end is raised up a little high, showing its unyielding. On the bridge on the right, something is constantly being lifted, and the installation is proceeding in an orderly manner.

It is now 1987, and Mhamad knew that this warship was being installed, the first ship of the Soviet Union's great "engineering" "Tbilisi"!

This is a powerful warship with the hope of the Red Navy, but its name seems to show its future vicissitudes. When the project was just beginning, it was first named "Riga", but in November 1982 it was renamed "Leonid-Brezhnev" to commemorate the great Soviet General Secretary who had just passed away. This name lasted for five years and was renamed "Tbilisi" in August this year. In later generations, it was finally named "Soviet Marshal Kuznetsov" on October 4, 1990.

When it was still in the sea trial, the great Red Empire had disintegrated. The Russian Navy almost forced it away from the Black Sea shipyard, but the carrier-based aircraft remained in Ukraine. After a few years, Russia barely equipped it with carrier-based aircraft.

At this time, the warship was still in the outfitting stage. On the largest No. 0 platform, the second ship of the same class was being built, and was named Riga. In later generations, it was named Varyag. After staying in the Black Sea Shipyard for several years, it had only one empty shell and was bought by a Macau company. The navigation process was also full of twists and turns. However, it eventually broke out of its cocoon and became the Liaoning aircraft carrier of the Eastern countries! The entry of this aircraft carrier has become a symbol of the strength of the Eastern countries' naval power!

At the same time, a platform with an area of ​​18,000 square meters was built next to the No. 0 ship platform. The third aircraft carrier, various components of the Uriyangnovsk, are being assembled.

This is a masterpiece of the Black Sea Shipyard. The carrying capacity of this platform is comparable to that of the ship platform. When the construction starts on the ship platform, the platform will be pre-welded for the next warship. When the warship on the ship platform is launched, the prefabricated section here can be directly hung over, saving time greatly.

During the construction of the Tybis, the assembly of the large hull of the Riga began on this platform. When the Tybis finished the assembly and launched the water in December 1985, the 24 super-large total sections of the Riga were 32 meters long, 38 meters wide, about 13 meters high, and weighed about 1,400 tons. They were moved into the platform by two Finnish-made 900-ton vans and dozens of gantry cranes.

So, although the hull of the Riga has been almost built after only two years, now the Riga will be able to be launched in another year, and the prefabricated parts of the third Uriyanovsk will be brought over.

In later records, the Uriyangnovsk began to be built in 1988. In fact, it refers to the No. 0 ship platform. In fact, construction began three years ago.

When in Pakistan, Mhamad visited his own shipyard and would look up to the huge aircraft carrier. Now, looking at the Soviet shipyard, Mhamad was also lamenting the advanced human technology.

"General Secretary, Mr. Minister of Defense, welcome to the shipyard for inspection." Just as Mhamad sighed, the shipyard's director, with a little gray hair and glasses, said to the supreme leader of the Soviet Union. Then, he turned his head and looked at Mhamad: "Welcome to Pakistani friends."

The word "friend" is very reluctant. Of course, Mhamad knew that it is difficult for ordinary people to remain friendly in the face of an opponent who has just ended the war, especially the person in front of them. The Soviet shipbuilding strongman who is extremely loyal to the Red Empire, and the father of the aircraft carrier, Makarov!

Later generations, Mhamad also admired this person very much. He graduated from Nikolayev Shipbuilding Academy in 1958 and served as chief engineer of the Black Sea Shipyard in early April 1976. He began to serve as the director of the Black Sea Shipyard in 1979. He is a person who is very knowledgeable about technology. Under his command, the phenomenon of people who are in trouble in state-owned enterprises will not happen, and people who are mediocre will be driven away by him.

His greatest contribution was to streamline the manufacturing of Soviet aircraft carriers. The establishment of the prefabricated platform allowed the Soviet Union to quickly build aircraft carriers. At the same time, under his supervision, the Kuznetsov could complete the manufacturing in 1991. Otherwise, Russia would have no aircraft carriers in later generations.

The Varyag is the pain of the old man in front of him. When he watched the Russians and Ukrainians compete with each other and was making a big deal to pay for the subsequent fees for Varyag, Makarov knew that the aircraft carrier could no longer be built because that powerful country no longer exists!

After retirement, Makarov looked at the warship on the outfit pier every day. When the ship was towed away by the tugboat, the old Makarov burst into tears.

Two years later, he died of depression.

This is all a matter of later generations. At least now, Makarov is responsible for the hope of the Red Empire Navy and builds the most powerful warship in the world. At this time, although he is over fifty years old, he is still full of youthful spirit.

"Hello, Mr. Makarov, I'm very happy to see you." Mhamad said. Mhamad respects this person, and maybe he can bring this person to Pakistan in the future. His current low posture has also gained favor from Makarov in front of him.

"What we see now is a new aircraft carrier cruiser that is being built on the ship platform, Order No. 106, and the outfit terminal there is Order No. 105." Makarov said: "Please follow me and visit Order No. 105."

The Soviets had never called their own aircraft carriers an aircraft carrier, and they have always been called heavy-carrier cruisers.

This is naturally to pass through the Turkish Strait and the warships factory in the Black Sea Shipyard. If you want to pass through the warships of the Black Sea Fleet and go to other seas, you need to pass through the narrow and defensive ones.

Of course, it is correct to call it this way. The Soviet aircraft carriers were not just aircraft carriers, but also equipped with a large number of weapons. No need for anything else. Just say that the vertical launch device of the 12 P-700granit long-range anti-ship missiles under the flight deck at the bow is already the most troublesome weapon for the US fleet. This supersonic anti-ship missile can receive target information through satellites and perform over-visual strikes, with a maximum range of 550 kilometers. The NATO code name is the 19-ship destroyer! This name shows the momentum.

The air defense weapon of this aircraft carrier is even more powerful. Four sets of 68 launch units are arranged on the front and rear 4 side platforms on both sides of the flight deck, with a total of 192 missiles. The four side platforms are also equipped with 8 1-aircraft gun-in-one short-range weapon systems, each system includes 2 6-barrel 30mm AK-630 guns and 2 4-asset 11 short-range ship-to-air missiles. It can be seen that so many air defense weapons are enough to fight saturation attacks. There is a multi-functional phased array radar on the bridge. It is very similar to the Aegis carrier-based radar, which can detect, identify and track multiple batches of targets.

The US aircraft carrier needs a formation to exert its strength, while the Soviet aircraft carrier, even if only this one is left, can move forward bravely and fight against the enemy.

Of course, the development of later generations confirmed the mistakes in the Soviets' thinking. The most powerful aircraft carrier is carrier-based aircraft! Too many weapons will make the aircraft carrier limited space and unable to arrange more carrier-based aircraft, resulting in a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the aircraft carrier. In the later generations, Russia planned to improve the only USS Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, which was to dismantle the anti-ship missile device and double the area of ​​the hangar.

Since we are here to visit, we must show Pakistan the most powerful force! Let the Pakistani people know that the Soviet Union did not win the Afghan War, not because the Soviet army was weak, but because the focus of the Soviets was not in Afghanistan at all!

The focus of the Soviet Union was Europe. Pakistan used all its national strength and even included the support of countless Western worlds behind it. The Soviet Union only used only a few hundred thousand troops and did not use more advanced modern weapons. If war begins in full swing, the Soviet army will be able to occupy the entire territory of Pakistan in a few days.

As for the navy, Pakistan, which does not even have a large warship, is no match for the Soviet Navy at all! Oh, by the way, Pakistan still has large warships, the aircraft carrier built by World War II!

The Soviets all had a sense of pride for their motherland. Mhamad saw the pride in the other party's heart. They did have reasons for pride. Unfortunately, in later generations, this powerful red empire no longer exists.
Chapter completed!
