Chapter 1053 Sinking the Helicopter Carrier
Soviet aircraft carriers were often called 'heavy aircraft carriers' in the past. This is because the Soviet aircraft carrier is somewhat different from the British and American aircraft carriers. While carrying aircraft, the Soviet aircraft carrier is also equipped with various heavy anti-ship missiles and long-range anti-aircraft missiles on the deck, and has the same weapons and firepower as a cruiser.
The carrier-based aircraft fell into leeward, and one after another was destroyed.
But this does not mean that the two aircraft carriers have become decorations and lambs to be slaughtered.
Because these two aircraft carriers themselves have very powerful air defense capabilities.
The radar is constantly rotating. It is an air-to-sea search radar that can detect long-distance sea and air targets.
In the aircraft carrier command room, the captain looked solemn.
They did not expect that this sneak attack would be discovered.
What the fleet needs to do now is to prepare for air defense and be ready for war with the Pakistani Navy at any time.
After all, the Pakistani navy was stronger than the Indian navy before.
What did Pakistan Navy have in the past?
There are not even warships with a displacement of more than a thousand tons!
There are only patrol boats and missile boats near the water!
But after 1985, the Pakistani Navy suddenly changed its guns and equipped them 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 anti-aircraft missiles equipped by these warships caused the British Royal Navy, the United States Navy, etc. to suffer a lot.
Since 1993, the Pakistan Navy has surpassed the Indian Navy and become the largest navy in South Asia.
There are frigates and destroyers outside the aircraft carrier, and the most central area is the aircraft carrier.
In the radar room, the radar soldiers were even more vigilant, staring at the screen without blinking.
When a waveform suddenly appeared, he was immediately startled.
"Alert, alert!" The radar soldier immediately sounded the alarm: "The enemy plane has broken through the defense line and is flying here!"
alarm!
A sharp siren sounded on the warship.
The anti-aircraft missile launcher began to turn quickly, with the warhead aimed in the direction of the threat.
The sea radar, air defense missile radar, and artillery sighting radar were all activated, releasing countless radar waves across the entire space.
"Boom~~" The long-range missile took the lead in attacking!
I saw that this was a J-7 fighter jet, making a high-speed breakthrough. Its characteristics of being light, small and flexible were fully reflected at this moment.
This J-7 fighter jet does not carry air-launched anti-ship missiles, but 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 is true for the J-8 fighter jet. Normally, it cannot carry the 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missile. At that time, only a small number of J-8 modified models were able to carry the 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missile.
But for the JH-7, carrying the ‘Eagle Strike’ anti-ship missile is a piece of cake!
Each JH-7 carries 4 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles underneath. This time the Pakistani army mobilized 3 squadrons of 12 aircraft to carry a total of 48 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles.
The J-7 fighter jet flexibly rose while releasing interference metal chaff.
The two missiles were induced by metal chaff and failed to hit the J-7 fighter jet.
At this time, the shortcomings of the missiles exported by Polar Bear to India were revealed. The anti-jamming capabilities of the anti-aircraft missiles were insufficient. When it was exported, it was a castrated version, and it is still the same now!
The castrated version may not be visible normally, but when fighting, the huge difference becomes apparent!
The aircraft carrier continues to launch anti-aircraft missiles. It carries a large number of anti-aircraft missiles and has very strong air defense capabilities.
Even though four aircraft had been detected by radar at this time, the commander was still very confident.
But at this time, two waveforms appeared on the radar and then disappeared. The radar soldier ignored these two waveforms.
At this time, this ignored waveform was becoming the killer of this aircraft carrier.
I saw two JH-7s carrying 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles, flying almost close to the sea.
Since the Falklands War, the Argentine Air Force used this method to teach the British a lesson, and this method of warfare has been widely studied.
Flying close to the sea is difficult to be detected by radar.
The two JH-7s each carry two 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles. They originally carried four 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles, but they had previously used two of them against frigates and destroyers.
Finally, the two JH-7s communicated and launched the 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missile.
Four 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles flew across the sea, not far apart.
Four "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles flew across the sea with a cruising altitude of 20 meters.
When it was visually discovered, the missile was already close to a distance of ten kilometers.
It was not until this distance that the aircraft carrier finally discovered it.
But at this time, the aircraft carrier's air defense weapons were aimed at the three aircraft in the air.
Although two planes have just been shot down, no one in the entire aircraft carrier is surprised, because everyone realizes that a disaster is coming!
The four 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles were lowered to a height of 5 meters above the sea surface according to predetermined procedures.
5 meters!
The height of the waves is only two or three meters. At this height, it is almost like dancing on the top of the waves.
"Boom~~"
Four 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles hit the helicopter carrier one after another.
The huge collision sound was amplified in the cabin inside the aircraft carrier. This roar was the death knell for the helicopter carrier.
The violent explosion blew four large holes in the entire hull, and seawater began to pour in.
It was only a matter of time before this helicopter carrier sank.
The Indian officers and soldiers on the ship were terrified and began to take measures to delay the sinking time as much as possible, while also escaping.
The two J-11 fighters completed the mission and returned without hesitation after reporting. After all, the missiles they carried had been launched and now had to go back to replenish.
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 exceeded that of the Pakistani Navy, which put great pressure on the Pakistani Navy.
If the Indian Navy could take this opportunity to destroy the attacking Indian fleet, its strength would be greatly reduced.
As long as the warships that the Indian Navy just purchased and arrived are not driven by the bears, then the Pakistani Navy may take this opportunity to destroy these warships and completely destroy the Indian Navy.
As long as there is no navy, the coastal areas of India are like a girl who has been stripped of her clothes, and they can do whatever they want!
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 has been in service for decades, it is very important.
Unexpectedly, it was sunk now. Although it has not completely sunk at this time, the seawater is constantly pouring back, and it is only a matter of time before it sinks.
The commander of the Indian fleet couldn't figure it out. They acted so carefully, and arrived at dawn to raid Karachi, but they were discovered by the Pakistani Navy.
