Originally, Rick was from the Air Force of the Law, and at the same time, he was also the best one in the Tomcat fighter jets. The number of enemy aircraft shot down was already enough to two aces. Now, with the end of Pakistan's land war, Pakistan's future threat will come from the sea. Therefore, after careful consideration, after obtaining his father's consent, Rick transferred to HNA and became a pilot of carrier-based aircraft. At the same time, in order to protect Rick and realize his promise to his wife, with the intervention of old Arslan, Rick became the captain of the flight wing, mainly responsible for tactical formulation, and rarely fly fighters.

With Rick's qualifications, he was enough to command the carrier-based aircraft on the entire aircraft carrier. After entering HNA, Rick studied tirelessly and became familiar with the various tactics of carrier-based aircraft at sea.

This time, with the Buqu, we arrived in the eastern waters of the Bay. This was the first appearance of Buqu, and with Russian colleagues present, we must show our advantages!

On the distant sea, the warships of the Pacific Fleet with the Russian tricolor flag were also sailing.

"The aircraft carriers in the Soviet era also carried the Soviets' ideas." Rick said: "Their aircraft carriers are more like a large cruiser with full functions."

From the bridge here, you can see the Minsk, which is riding the wind and waves. Judging from the head of the ship, it looks like a cruiser, especially the giant anti-ship missile on the deck in the front section, which is the SS-N-19, a supersonic anti-ship missile tailored for US aircraft carriers.

Similarly, the opponent's bridge is very wide, almost occupying the middle part of the right side of the deck, so that only the space on the left and rear is left, and the straight deck.

This layout has made it impossible for such aircraft carriers to take off and land conventional fighter jets, but only fighter jets that take off and land vertically. In order to provide Kiev-class aircraft carriers, the Soviets developed a very special vertical take-off and landing fighter jet, such as the Jacques-3.

However, this kind of fighter is even less expensive than the Harrier fighter. After all, the Harrier fighter is equipped with British and American troops, and other countries have purchased it. The Jacques-3 has been on the ship almost from the beginning. Since the engine exhaust gas melts the deck, the Jacques-3 stays on the land base for most of the time.

The same is true this time, there are only a few cards-2 on the deck of the Minsk

Although the Jacques-3 is not very good, the Ka-27 is very distinctive. The Kamov Design Bureau has been very fond of the coaxial reversal layout since its establishment. Almost all the products produced by the Design Bureau are like this. The two propellers on the top offset the engine's torque through reversal, so there is no need for common propellers at the tail of the helicopter, which makes the Kamov Design Bureau's helicopters look short and thick. The appearance of the Ka-27 has also been given the nickname of snail by NATO.

The length is shortened, but the height is much higher, and the resistance caused by the two rotors is greater, so the maximum flat flight speed of this helicopter is not high, and the hangar after boarding the ship must be specially designed.

Therefore, Rick and Hussein couldn't help but sigh when they saw each other's aircraft carrier.

"This aircraft carrier can have greater combat effectiveness if it is modified." Hussein said: "Remove the anti-ship missiles on the front deck, add a leap deck, and expand the hangar. I think it can accommodate about forty fighter jets. For aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft are the biggest weapons."

It is impossible to add a catapult to this kind of aircraft carrier. When the boiler was designed, it did not prepare for the catapult. It changed to a jumping form and could also allow the carrier-based aircraft to take off. As long as it is a fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft, its power would be far greater than that of the Jacques-3 or this type of card-27.

"Impossible." Rick said on the side: "The innate defect of this kind of aircraft carrier is quite large, and it is almost the same as a new aircraft carrier. Moreover, the jump deck takes up too much space, which is not conducive to the rapid dispatch of carrier-based aircraft. The Soviets really enjoy it. The bridge is built so tall. If the bridge is reduced, at least two more aircraft can be parked on the deck."

In the Soviet era, officials could not live under the deck, and they had to live on the bridge, so they made the bridge so big that they was wasted too much.

"Attention, all units, the exercise officially begins." The voice of the deputy commander of the Chinese Navy on Kunlun came from the radio, and he was also the commander-in-chief of the exercise: "Now, we are carrying out the first item of the exercise to carry out long-range strikes on the enemy fleet in the long sea! Please take off the carrier-based early warning aircraft and fighter aircraft of the U.S. Minsk take off the Ka-31 early warning aircraft and jointly search for the enemy fleet at sea ahead."

Originally, the Minsk was not equipped with a carrier-based early warning aircraft, so for this exercise, it was specially seconded from the Northern Fleet.

This kind of Ka-31 was developed on the body of Ka-27. Since Soviet aircraft carriers were unable to take off and land conventional carrier-based early warning aircraft, they could only come up with a method of early warning for helicopters. Below Ka-31, there is a flat-panel phased array radar antenna that can scan down from the sky and discover low-altitude sea-flying fighter jets and missiles, as well as warships on the sea surface.

Even if the navies in many countries hold military exercises, they usually focus on search and rescue. Now, the military exercises of the Three Kingdoms are attacking the sea. Although the coordination between them is still poor, this is a very bad signal.

The White House, the United States.

The satellite has taken clear photos, and three aircraft carriers appeared on the east side of Wanwan Island at the same time. The most spectacular one is Pakistan's Indecisive.

Who would have thought that Pakistan, which even a small patrol boat was introduced ten years ago, can now produce aircraft carriers on its own! This Unreliable ship will not be produced in such a short time even if it is placed in a country like the old-fashioned Britain and France. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier is no less than that of the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier in the United States.

The battle group composed of these three aircraft carriers is conducting formation exercises, and one of the main contents of the exercises is to strike the enemy's fleet!

This is simply slapping the Americans in the face naked.

Bush's face turned pale.

The biggest contribution of Bush's term during his tenure was probably the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The Cold War ended and the entire Warsaw Pact no longer existed. From then on, the United States became the only superpower in the world!

It was with the support of such belief that Bush could unscrupulously implement the new policy after the Cold War, which was the beginning of the US hegemony, sent troops to Iraq, overthrew the Saddam regime, and sent troops to Iran, hoping to unify the entire Middle East.

However, Bush did not expect that just when the US military was trapped in a tough battle with Iran, the United States had already caught fire in its backyard. China, which was originally threatened by the Soviet Union, has now begun to get along with Russia after the disintegration!

The Wanwan incident almost represents the breakdown of the relationship between the United States and China. Now, the two sides have completely quarreled, and a new alliance seems to be about to appear in East Asia.

If China, Russia, Pakistan and the three countries come together, it will be the biggest threat to the United States! Especially Russia and China, both countries of the Five Constant Republic.

"The military exercises of these three countries are unusual," Cheney said: "Now that China has broken through the first island chain, our Pacific Ocean will face the threat of the Chinese army at any time."

"Huaxia does not have this ability yet, and China is still developing its economy. They do not put military first." Secretary of State Baker said: "For example, the Chinese do not have an aircraft carrier yet. As for the Kunlun, it is just an amphibious assault ship. China does not have a fixed-wing aircraft force. However, there is news now that China has already taken a fancy to the Varyag of Ukraine and wants to tow the aircraft carrier back to China and become China's real first aircraft carrier."

Varyag, an unfinished aircraft carrier in the Soviet era, is still in a state of shutdown in Ukraine's Black Sea shipyard, witnessing the tragedy after the disappearance of a great country.

"Yes, our CIA has also received news that Chinese naval officials have gone to the Black Sea shipyard several times," said William, director of the CIA.

If we follow the development of history, Huaxia really wanted to get this Varyag. Unfortunately, it has changed a lot from history. Huaxia has equipped the Tomcat as a heavy aircraft among the third generation aircraft. At the same time, the fourth generation of Silent Cat has also completed research and development. The Chinese Navy's vision is also long-term. What they need is an aircraft carrier that can eject take off fighter jets, and the Varyag is already behind.

Moreover, Pakistan has accumulated a lot of technology to build aircraft carriers. With the help of Pakistan, China can start building aircraft carriers on its own. There is no need to buy the already lagging second-hand aircraft carrier. The information the Americans received was just fog bombs.

Vice President Dan Quill, who was standing by, did not speak, he had become disheartened recently.

Originally, according to convention, Bush, who had been re-elected, would definitely not be able to be re-elected again. In history, President Roosevelt was re-elected for many terms due to World War II. Generally speaking, the vice president is the candidate for the next president. In other words, Dan Quayer should actively plan and prepare for next year's general election.
