Chapter 182 Uninvited Guests in the Arabian Sea

The intersection of the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea has always been a sea area where pirates are rampant. However, after the joint patrol, the number of pirates has decreased a lot, and the joint patrol's East China Fleet is preparing for rotation.

In the Arabian Sea, a three-ship cruise fleet consisting of the WLMQ-class 052D missile destroyer, the Linyi-class missile frigate and the Dongping Lake-class comprehensive supply ship was sailing on the sea, preparing to cross the Indian Ocean into the Strait of Malacca, and then return to the Dongda Port for rest and recuperation, allowing the crew who had been sailing on the sea for half a year to have a good rest.

The navy is different from the army and the air force. On the sea, not only is the seawater salty, but even the air is salty. The rate of corrosion of metal is much higher than on land. Only complete maintenance can ensure the combat effectiveness of the navy. Even if there is a slight difference, the machinery will immediately have problems. Logistics is the foundation of ensuring combat effectiveness.

The meter-wave radar, X-band and S-band radars on the 052D missile destroyer are scanning the surrounding airspace/sea area, and the air/sea search radar of the 054A Linyi ship is also scanning the surrounding area.

"Notify all departments: According to intelligence, unusual radar communication interference has been detected recently in the Arabian Sea. Please be on high alert."

It is obvious that in addition to the Type 2 that was shot down by Changkong some time ago, there are other Type 2 (strategic reconnaissance aircraft) conducting strategic reconnaissance near the Arabian Sea.

It is not clear where these Type 2 reconnaissance aircraft leaked from, but from a military strategic perspective, once a large number of enemy reconnaissance aircraft appear in a certain area, it is definitely not a good thing, because it means that the enemy is likely collecting intelligence and preparing for the next military operation.

In ancient times, food and supplies were sent before the army moved; in modern times, intelligence is sent before the army moves.

"Yes! Commander!"

After giving the order, the captain of 052D stood in the bridge, picked up the telescope and scanned the sea.

Type 2 is okay, but if Type 3 really comes here, it is still a question whether the princes can withstand the attack of alien civilization. After they go back, the ships that take over the patrol here may be replaced by some old models. After all, to deal with pirates, you don’t need very good warships. Even patrol boats can shoot down the pirates.

"Is there any recent intelligence from India?"

"Reporting to the commander, India replied: No abnormalities were found."

Although India said so, Todai can only believe part of it. India has its own national conditions.

"Be on high alert!" the captain warned.

The radar was scanning the surrounding sea area. The radar officer stared at the data on the radar carefully. Suddenly, a huge reflection source appeared on the phased array radar, followed by two and three!

The radar officer immediately turned around and shouted to the captain, "Report to the commander! Direction 030, distance 400, reflection source detected! Tracking is unstable!"

"Order carrier-based aircraft to take off!"

Due to the limitations of the Earth's curvature, the radar on the helicopter can detect farther.

"Yes!"

At the captain's command, a helicopter carrying radar took off from the helicopter deck and flew high into the sky.

The AWACS helicopter continued to climb, and at an altitude of 5000 kilometers, it detected some reflected signals on its radar. The pilot continuously adjusted the radar's main lobe range and increased its power. Finally, at an altitude of 380 kilometers, close to the sea surface, it acquired the target and established stable tracking. "Number of targets: 3, IFF no response, radar interference from clutter! Confirmed to be an alien civilization, Type 3!"

The target data detected by the helicopter early warning platform is sent to the 054 Linyi ship and two other warships on the sea via the data link, and then sent to the Dongda Command via the 052D.

The captain looked at the three huge reflective sources that were blocking the routes of the three warships, and the fleet was blocked in the Arabian Sea.

According to combat regulations, command is handed over to 052D.

The 052D commander picked up the communicator and shouted, "All ships! Fight! Alert! Report! Full left! Change course, we're heading to the Gulf of Oman!"

On the sea, the three warships quickly spread out in a pancake and turned.

The enemy has three ships. Given the size of their fleet, it will be difficult to win the next battle without air support and a systematic resistance.

We must rely on land-based and air-based combat platforms to share the pressure. In addition, in the Gulf of Oman, the Pakistan Air Force and Navy will cooperate with the Eastern Fleet. The local princes will also act together, which will greatly reduce the risk.

300 kilometers away, three Type 3 warships slowly removed their optical camouflage, with two 150-meter-class warships in front and one 200-meter-class warship in the back, forming an inverted triangle formation and moving aggressively towards Oman.

On the surface of the ship, colorful rainbow light kept flashing and flowing, and the aliens gathered energy into the shield generator.

Then the surface of the 150-meter-class Type 3 ship unfolded, and a number of aircraft waiting inside quickly flew out, and a swarm of alien drones surrounded the three-ship formation.

The alien civilization seemed to have learned from the experience of having its Type 3 sunk before. Some of its Type 1 aircraft climbed up to guard the top of the aircraft, and the remaining aircraft surrounded the fleet like a swarm of bees.

Not far away on the sea, a Panamanian container ship was sailing on the sea. The crew looked at the aircraft above their heads in horror, especially the largest aircraft. They saw a light shining at the bottom of it. Under the condensation of energy, the surrounding air was evaporated, expanded, rolled, and even had a tendency to ionize due to the high temperature.

"what!"

An ominous feeling rose from the bottom of the crew's heart, and they ran frantically towards the location of the lifeboat. However, just when they were halfway there, a blazing heat-accumulating laser beam accompanied by an explosion in the air suddenly shone on the container ship.

The outer shell of the container placed on the deck of the ship was instantly melted by the laser beam, and it collapsed inward like chocolate under high temperature, and the cherries loaded in the container disappeared under the high temperature. Then the laser beam continued to cut towards the inside of the hull, making a huge hole in the ship. The containers on both sides turned sideways and then continued to melt under the irradiation of the laser.

When the laser beam disappeared, the freighter had completely sunk. The molten metal dripped onto the sea surface, and water vapor suddenly rose up, burying the freighter's hull. A large amount of seawater poured into the hull and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. The crew had disappeared without a trace.

Three Type 3 warships slowly flew over the freighter and headed towards Oman and Saudi Arabia.

Along the way, all human ships encountered could not escape the laser irradiation. Wherever the Type 3 flew, only the burning wreckage of the ship was left floating on the sea.
