The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1053 Sinking the Helicopter Carrier

Soviet aircraft carriers were often called "heavy aircraft carrier cruisers" in the past. This is because Soviet aircraft carriers are somewhat different from British and American aircraft carriers. While carrying aircraft, Soviet aircraft carriers are also equipped with various heavy anti-ship missiles and long-range air defense missiles on the deck, and have the same weapons and firepower as cruisers.

The carrier-based aircraft were at a disadvantage and were destroyed one after another.

But it does not mean that the two aircraft carriers have become decorations or lambs to be slaughtered.

Because these two aircraft carriers have very strong air defense capabilities.

The radar is constantly rotating. It is an air and sea search radar that can detect long-range sea and air targets.

In the command room of the aircraft carrier, the captain looked solemn.

They didn't expect that this sneak attack would be discovered.

What the fleet needs to do now is to do a good job of air defense and be ready to go to war with the Pakistani Navy at any time.

After all, the Pakistani Navy was stronger than the Indian Navy before.

What did the Pakistani Navy have in the past?
There isn't even a warship with a displacement of more than one thousand tons!

There are only patrol boats and missile boats near the water!

However, after 1985, the Pakistani Navy suddenly upgraded its weapons and was equipped with Type 022 missile boats, Type 022A torpedo boats, and later even Type 054 frigates and Type 052 destroyers.

The excellent performance of these warships has long been recognized by the world.

In particular, the anti-ship missiles, torpedoes, and "Aegis" air defense missiles equipped on these warships have caused great trouble to the British Royal Navy, the US Navy and others.

Since 1993, the Pakistani Navy has surpassed the Indian Navy to become the number one navy in South Asia.

There are frigates and destroyers outside the aircraft carrier, and the aircraft carrier is in the central area.

In the radar room, the radar soldiers were on high alert, staring at the screen without blinking.

When a waveform suddenly appeared, he was immediately startled.

"Alert, alert!" The radar soldier immediately sounded the alarm: "Enemy planes have broken through the defense line and are flying this way!"

alarm!

A sharp alarm sounded on the warship.

The anti-aircraft missile launcher began to turn quickly, with the warhead aimed in the direction where the threat appeared.

The sea-anticipation radar, air defense missile radar, and gun-aiming radar were all turned on, releasing countless radar waves throughout the space.

"Boom~~" Long-range missiles launched the first attack!
It was a J-7 fighter jet that was making a high-speed breakthrough. Its light, small and flexible characteristics were fully demonstrated at this moment.

This J-7 fighter jet did not carry air-launched anti-ship missiles, only air-to-air missiles.

Unless it is specially improved, it will not be able to carry the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missile.

The same goes for the J-8 fighter jet, which normally cannot carry the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles. At that time, only a small number of J-8 modified models could carry the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles.

But for the JH-7, carrying the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missile is a piece of cake!

每一架歼轰7底下携带着4枚‘鹰击’反舰导弹，此次巴军调集了3个小队12架飞机共携带着48枚‘鹰击’反舰导弹。

The J-7 fighter jet flexibly ascended while releasing interfering metal foil strips.

The two missiles were deflected by metal foil and failed to hit the J-7 fighter.

At this time, the defects of the missiles exported by Polar Bear to India were reflected. The anti-interference ability of the air defense missiles was insufficient. When they were exported, they were castrated versions, and it is still the same now!
The castrated version may not be visible at ordinary times, but when fighting, the huge difference will be revealed!
The aircraft carrier continued to launch anti-aircraft missiles. It carried a large number of anti-aircraft missiles and had very strong air defense capabilities.

Even though the radar had already detected four planes at this time, the commander was still very confident.

But at this time, two waveforms appeared on the radar and then disappeared. The radar soldiers ignored these two waveforms.

At this moment, this ignored waveform became the killer of this aircraft carrier.

Two J-7 fighters carrying Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles were seen flying almost close to the sea surface.

Ever since the Falklands War, when the Argentine Air Force used this method to teach the British a severe lesson, this tactic has been widely learned.

Flying close to the sea makes it difficult to be detected by radar.

The two J-7s each carried two Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles. They were originally equipped with four Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles, but they had used two of each when dealing with frigates and destroyers.

Finally, the two J-7 fighters communicated with each other and launched Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles.

Four "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles flew over the sea, not far apart.

Four "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles flew over the sea at a cruising altitude of 20 meters.

When it was visually detected, the missile was already within ten kilometers.

It was not until this distance that the aircraft carrier was finally discovered.

But at this time, the aircraft carrier's air defense weapons were all aimed at the three planes in the air.

Although two planes had just been shot down, no one on the entire aircraft carrier was surprised, because everyone realized that a disaster was about to strike!
According to the predetermined procedure, four "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles were lowered to a height of 5 meters above the sea surface.

5 meters!
The height of the waves is about two or three meters. At this height, it is almost like dancing on the crest of the waves.

"Boom~~"

Four "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles hit the helicopter carrier one after another.

The huge collision sound was amplified inside the cabin of the aircraft carrier. This roar sounded the death knell for this helicopter carrier.

The violent explosion created four large holes in the entire hull, and sea water began to pour in.

It is only a matter of time before this helicopter carrier sinks.

The Indian officers and soldiers on the ship were terrified and began to take measures to delay the sinking as much as possible, while also trying to escape.

The two J-7 fighter jets completed their mission and returned home without hesitation after reporting. After all, the missiles they carried had been launched and they had to go back to replenish them.

The news of sinking the Indian helicopter carrier excited the Pakistani army.

The Indian Army purchased a large number of frigates and destroyers, and its strength surpassed that of the Pakistani Navy, putting tremendous pressure on the Pakistani Navy.

If we can take this opportunity to destroy the invading Indian fleet, the strength of the Indian Navy will be greatly reduced.

As long as the warships that the Indian Navy has just purchased are not operated by the Russians, the Pakistani Navy may be able to take this opportunity to destroy these warships and thus completely destroy the Indian Navy.

As long as there is no navy, the coastal areas of India will be like a girl who has been stripped of her clothes, and no one can do anything with her!
The news of the sinking of the helicopter carrier excited the Pakistani army, but it was a huge blow to the Indian Navy. Although this helicopter carrier is an old aircraft carrier that has been in service for decades, it is very important.

I didn't expect that it would be sunk now. Although it has not completely sunk yet, the sea water is constantly pouring back, and it is only a matter of time before it sinks.

The commander of the Indian fleet could not understand why they were discovered by the Pakistani navy even though they acted so carefully and arrived at dawn to raid Karachi.
