The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1054 Naval Battle
The other aircraft carrier in the Indian aircraft carrier fleet is the Kiev-class aircraft carrier.

The Kiev-class aircraft carrier is 273 meters long, 249.5 meters long at the waterline, 47.2 meters wide, 32.7 meters wide at the waterline, has a draft of 10 meters, a standard displacement of 36000 tons, and a full load displacement of 45000 tons. It is powered by four steam turbines with a total power of 4 horsepower, a cruising range of 20 nautical miles/13500 knots, and a crew of 18 people.

In terms of tonnage, the "Kiev" class is a medium-sized aircraft carrier.

The 'Kiev' class is equipped with a large number of weapons and equipment. In addition to carrier-based aircraft, it is equipped with 4 twin SS-N-12 long-range anti-ship missile launchers with a range of up to 550 nautical miles; air defense weapons include twin SA-N-3 medium-range air defense missiles with a range of 37 kilometers, and SA-N-4 short-range ship-to-air missiles with a range of 12 kilometers, with two launchers each; anti-submarine equipment includes 1 twin SUW-NZ anti-submarine missile launcher, 2 five-tube torpedo tubes and 2 RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launchers, as well as 4 76mm twin automatic guns and 8 30mm single-barrel automatic guns.

The Kiev-class aircraft carrier uses a lot of high-tech and has extremely powerful weapons and equipment. In addition to various missiles, it also carries 34 fighters, which can not only conduct air combat but also undertake various tasks such as anti-submarine, electronic warfare, and reconnaissance. It is a combination of an aircraft carrier and a cruiser, and its threat is equivalent to that of a task force.

Compared with the helicopter carrier that was sunk before, the "Kiev" class aircraft carrier is undoubtedly more advanced and stronger.

As a result, the air strike group that came to attack the "Kiev" class aircraft carrier suffered a lot.

"Boom~~" A J-7 fighter jet had just dodged a missile, but before the pilot could breathe a sigh of relief, another missile had hit the J-7 fighter jet, and the entire J-7 fighter jet exploded directly into a ball of fire in the air.

The "Kiev" class aircraft carrier is extremely crazy. Its air defense firepower is very fierce. It has medium-range air defense missiles and short-range air defense missiles. As for the Phalanx, it also has 4 76mm twin automatic guns and 8 30mm single-barrel automatic guns.

The J-7 and J-8 fighter jets in the air can dodge one or two missiles, but it is difficult to dodge all missiles.

The downing of one J-7 and J-8 fighter jet after another fully demonstrated the powerful air defense capability of the "Kiev" class aircraft carrier.

Even a J-10 fighter jet quickly pulled up and performed high-speed maneuvers to avoid the missile chasing behind it.

Two J-7 fighters carrying Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles are trying to repeat the same trick and sink the Kiev-class aircraft carrier.

However, this "Kiev" class aircraft carrier is equipped with a large number of electronic equipment: 1 three-coordinate air defense radar, 1 air defense/sea defense radar, 1 homing guidance radar, 4 fire control radars, etc.

Helicopters were flying.

The two J-7 fighters were discovered and even launched six Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles, but the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, which was already prepared, launched missiles anyway.

The missile intercepted four Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles, and two of them were only 5 meters above sea level, almost flying close to the water surface.

Four 4mm twin automatic guns and eight 76mm single-barrel automatic guns were activated.

The Soviet Union has always advocated firepower, and for the last layer of defense, it used intensive rain of bullets.

"Da da da~~~" The automatic cannon formed a dense rain of bullets, covering all areas.

Any anti-ship missile that attempts to break through this rain of bullets will be ruthlessly attacked.

The flying missile was hit by a hail of bullets and crashed into the sea.

After intercepting six "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles, the officers and soldiers on the ship showed no joy and began to load anti-aircraft missiles and artillery shells.

The sea radar has detected the Pakistani naval fleet approaching.

And they have to be prepared for the next wave of air strikes by the Pakistani army.

这一波，巴空军60架飞机，其中歼7战斗机、歼8战斗机、歼10战斗机共42架，歼轰7战斗机12架，自身损失了歼7战斗机、歼8战斗机29架，歼轰7战斗机损失7架。

It can be said that the Pakistani Air Force suffered considerable losses, with more than half of its troops being directly lost.

The pilots of the lost planes had no chance of survival, after all, it was the sea, and parachuting was a sure death. Of course, the Pakistani Air Force suffered heavy losses, but the results were also great.

击毁印海军12架雅克38舰载机、20架直升机，击沉印海军编队4艘护卫舰、2艘驱逐舰和1艘直升机航母。

5 warships damaged!
This result is truly brilliant!
Other planes returned to the air force base to refuel and refuel. It can be expected that it will not be long before the Pakistani Air Force will attack again and join the battlefield.

At this time, the Pakistani naval fleet has also joined the battlefield.

The first to arrive were the Type 022 missile boats and Type 022A torpedo boats, a total of twenty ships.

These twenty Type 022 missile boats and Type 022A torpedo boats dispersed quickly. They were the fastest, much faster than other frigates and destroyers.

"Target locked, fire!" On a Type 022 missile boat, the radar locked onto a frigate. An 'Eagle Strike-2' anti-ship missile was launched and fired towards the target.

This "Eagle Strike-2" anti-ship missile failed to hit the target and was intercepted by the opponent's air defense firepower.

The captain was not discouraged and continued to give orders to launch.

It is impossible for an anti-ship missile to sink a warship with just one launch. If that were the case, other countries would not need to develop their navies.

Anti-aircraft missiles and Phalanx are used to defend against aircraft and missiles.

Attack and defense have always been the relationship between spear and shield. There is no sharpest spear or indestructible shield in the world. The relationship between the two sides is spirally upward.

Finally, the fifth anti-ship missile hit the frigate, and a big hole appeared in the hull of the frigate, and seawater continued to pour into it.

Each Type 022 missile boat carries 12 'Eagle Strike-2' anti-ship missiles.

Even if 12 Eagle Strike-2 anti-ship missiles sink two or even just one frigate, it would be a profit.

The missile landed next to the Type 022 missile boat, causing huge waves, but did not hit the Type 022 missile boat.

Like this, from just now until now, this Type 022 missile boat has at least experienced secondary damage, but as long as it is not hit, it will be fine.

However, the Type 022 missile boat is only a small 250-ton boat. It is not easy to sink it at such a long distance and at such a high speed.

On the contrary, at the same distance, the targets of frigates and destroyers are much larger, and it is relatively easier to hit them.

Besides, the Type 022 missile boat is equipped with a 30mm six-barrel high-rate-of-fire gun with a maximum firing rate of 6 rounds per minute, so its defensive firepower is still very strong.

The fleets of both sides launched an attack.

After its carrier-based aircraft and several warships were sunk by the air fleet, this Indian naval fleet is not only no stronger than the current Pakistani naval fleet, but is actually weaker.

After all, the most advanced aircraft carrier in India's naval fleet is the Kiev-class aircraft carrier. The other frigates and destroyers are old ships that have been in service for decades. Some are even frigates and destroyers from the World War II era, which are already out of date.

Faced with anti-ship missiles, these World War II-era frigates, destroyers, and target ships are no different.
