The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1055: It is impolite not to reciprocate! (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

boom! !

Boom boom boom~~~
The huge body of the 'Kiev' class aircraft carrier was blasted with big holes!
The sea water poured back into the big hole.

It looks tragic under the setting sun!
With the sinking of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, this naval war also came to an end.

A large area of ​​sea was filled with smoke and corpses were floating on the water.

Some people were sitting in lifeboats, waiting to be rescued.

These lifeboats held white flags, hoping only to be rescued by the Pakistani Navy.

From less than six in the morning to more than six now, this decisive battle at sea lasted for more than twelve hours.

The Indian aircraft carrier fleet that was about to raid Karachi was completely wiped out.

印海军损失了2艘航母、6艘驱逐舰、12艘护卫舰、4艘坦克登陆舰、2艘补给舰、7艘潜艇、3艘武装运输船。

Since the establishment of the Indian Navy, there has never been such a huge loss.

This is almost all the wealth accumulated by the Indian Navy over half a century, while the frigates and destroyers purchased from the polar bear are still under training and have not yet formed combat effectiveness.

This battle can be said to have severely damaged the strength of the Indian Navy. The Indian coast is completely unsafe. If India wants to protect its coastal cities, it will have to mobilize more land-based aircraft to coastal airports, which will weaken the Indian Air Force's air power on the battlefield.

After losing air superiority, the Indian aircraft carrier fleet could not even withdraw.

Because no matter how fast a warship is, it can never be faster than an airplane in the sky!
After destroying the Indian aircraft carrier-based aircraft, the Pakistani army mobilized more aircraft to participate in the air strike.

Of course, the Pakistani army also suffered heavy losses.

歼7战斗机损失了38架、歼8战斗机损失了20架、歼轰7损失了8架，足足损失了64架飞机，可想而知苏联军舰在防空力量的强悍。

军舰方面，包括后面赶到的军舰，巴海军损失了2艘‘哈什马特级’潜艇、损失4艘022A型鱼雷艇、损失2艘022型导弹艇、损失1艘054型护卫舰、损失1艘052型驱逐舰，还有2艘022A型鱼雷艇受损、1艘022型导弹艇受创，1艘054型护卫舰和1艘052型驱逐舰受到不同程度的损伤。

But compared to destroying the Indian Navy warships, the Pakistani Navy undoubtedly achieved a resounding victory.

This time, the combat effectiveness of these advanced warships was fully demonstrated.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.

No one expected that such a large-scale naval battle would break out between the two sides in the Arabian Sea, and the losses would be so severe.

The once-mighty Indian Navy suffered a severe blow.

The war between the two sides has clearly taken a turn in favor of Pakistan.

Some military experts even commented that the Pakistani Navy would launch attacks on Indian coastal cities.

It may even trigger a chain reaction!
No one could have imagined that the war would take such a drastic turn.

You know, before this, most military experts and commentators around the world were optimistic about India. After all, India had just received a large amount of military aid from the United States and had purchased a large number of warships.

In this situation, it is obvious that India has received support from the West.

But how can India win if it loses this naval battle?
Do we still need to defend coastal cities?
Mumbai is a large city on the west coast of India and also the largest seaport in India.

Mumbai is located on Salsette Island off the west coast of Maharashtra, facing the Arabian Sea. The Port of Mumbai is also a natural deep-water port, carrying more than half of India's passenger traffic and a considerable cargo throughput. Mumbai is also the capital of India's commerce and entertainment industry, with important financial institutions such as the Reserve Bank of India, the Bombay Stock Exchange, the National Stock Exchange of India and the headquarters of many Indian companies. Mumbai is also the base of Bollywood.

The Port of Mumbai is also a major naval base of India. Warships can be built here and there are a large number of oil depots and ammunition depots. It is also the seat of the Indian Western Naval Command and the base of the main forces and headquarters of the Indian Western Fleet.

Most of the troops in this aircraft carrier formation come from India's Western Fleet.

At this time, there were only some patrol boats and speedboats left in the entire Mumbai Port, and no frigates or destroyers!

The radar at the Mumbai naval port has already detected the Pakistani naval formation.

The air fleet had just been urgently dispatched, the air base sounded the alarm, and the planes began to take off.

"Boom~~"

A MiG-27 fighter jet was hit by an Aegis air defense missile and exploded in the air, turning into a ball of sparks.

The naval formation consisting of 8 Type 054 frigates, 4 Type 052 destroyers, two supply ships and two submarines is the one used by the Pakistani army to take military action against Mumbai.

If the Indian Navy dares to raid Karachi, then the Pakistani Navy will also dare to attack Mumbai.

The air defense weapon system of the Type 054 frigate consists of air defense missiles, 76mm guns, 20mm Phalanx close-range weapon systems, and two six-tube jammer rockets. The ship-borne air defense missile Aegis-2 is a medium-range air defense missile with multi-target attack capability, which can effectively counter sea-skimming anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, and aircraft. The maximum firing height of the air defense missile reaches 6 meters, the maximum range is 2 nautical miles, and the maximum speed reaches Mach 2.4.

052型驱逐舰，这不是世界上吨位最大的驱逐舰，但是不代表着它的战斗能力不强，其武器系统有1座单管130mm舰炮，1座7管30mm近迫武器系统，1座24单元近程舰空防御系统、1座4单元中程舰空防御系统、8座八联装冷热共架综合垂直发射系统，2座三联装324mm鱼雷发射器，4座18管多用途发射器。

Vertical launch system, 8 eight-unit vertical launch systems, each system is equipped with 8 launch units and 64 missiles.

At this time, when they are within range, the Type 054 frigates and Type 052 destroyers are using the medium-range air defense missile 'Aegis 2'.

Only use short-range air defense missiles when you are within the range of short-range air defense missiles.

In terms of air defense firepower alone, this Pakistani naval fleet is stronger than the previous Indian aircraft carrier formation.

"Boom~~"

An Aegis-2 air defense missile hit a Jaguar attack aircraft. The Jaguar attack aircraft was carrying Harpoon anti-ship missiles and was about to attack warships, but it was shot down before it entered the attack range.

In the air, planes were shot down one after another.

Compared with the Soviet Union's previous naval warships' air defense missiles, which had weak anti-interference capabilities, the 'Aegis 2' missiles have strong anti-interference capabilities.

Even if the aircraft releases jamming bombs, it is not easy to escape from the "Aegis 2" air defense missile.

Planes were shot down, exploded in mid-air, or crashed into the sea.

A few planes escaped, having lost their will to fight.

After replenishing its air defense missiles, the Pakistani naval fleet continued its journey towards Mumbai.

At this time, Mumbai was in chaos.

The air raid sirens kept sounding throughout the city. No one had expected that war would come to this city.
