Babylonian Empire

Therefore, Qusay absolutely does not mind showing his sharp blade, he has to frighten the U.S. Navy.

Although the missile boat is small, it still has combat effectiveness. This kind of stealth missile boat of our own is a magic weapon of Qusay.Of course, how the combat capability is depends on how Iraq promotes it.

Iraq invited military attaches from various countries to observe the largest military exercise of the Iraqi Navy.

With the action of the navy, the huge sea exercise finally started.

On the Indian Ocean, the mighty formation is driving fast on the magnificent sea.

The two large-deck aircraft carriers seem to be two steel fortresses on the sea. These are the conventionally powered aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk and the nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson of the US Navy. The dual aircraft carrier battle group and the carrier-based aircraft wing above, It is a powerful strike force. Two aircraft carriers and 40 F-14 Tomcat fighter jets can beat the air forces of many countries to the ground.

On the periphery of the two aircraft carriers, there are more than a dozen warships, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates lined up in sequence. Inside, there is the pride of the US Navy, the USS Vincennes guided missile cruiser of the Aegis system. This Aegis system provides Anti-saturation attack capability, specifically against the saturation attack tactics of the Soviets.

Under the water, there are also two Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines.

This time, they mobilized a large number of troops, just to go to the door of the Arabs to show off their military power.

However, on the bridge of the Carl Vinson, Colonel Ted Hale's eyes were a little dignified.

As the captain of a giant aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 4 tons, Ted is definitely not an ordinary person. He gradually rose from the pilot of the Navy's F-14 fighter jets and F-[-] fighter jets, and finally became the captain of this aircraft carrier. Under his command, the aircraft carrier created many firsts, such as crossing the Bering Strait.

The mission this time was just a very ordinary mission, but Ted was a little disappointed. For the first time, they did not gain an advantage.

It was preempted by the Iraqis, and they actually held military exercises in that area first!

What is the U.S. Navy doing, going there to watch the Iraqi Navy exercise?Or are there also military exercises there?What if the two sides wiped out their guns and misfired?Do you really want to use your powerful military power to compete with the Iraqi navy?

The Iraqis can do anything. Ted remembered that the unlucky carrier-based aircraft pilot on the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier was shot down by the Iraqi Air Force. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

As the captain of an aircraft carrier, he is not only a military commander, but also has a lot of political awareness. Ted feels that it is very important to grasp the scale of this operation, but it is also very difficult.

The hull swayed a little, and the swaying of the bridge was particularly obvious due to its relatively high position. However, the soldiers on the aircraft carrier who had undergone various trainings and often drifted at sea for the first half of the year were very used to it. The floor shakes while maintaining the balance of the body.

They needed to rush to the exercise area quickly, but at this moment, a storm appeared over the Indian Ocean.

When the aircraft carrier is designed, it has the ability to resist the twelve-level wind and waves, but generally speaking, they try to avoid sailing in the ten-level sea state.

Now, the main force of the storm has passed, but the remaining power is still there. It is now a level six gale. Under such circumstances, it will not affect the navigation of the warship at all.

The waves are three meters high. In this kind of huge waves, the aircraft carrier with a displacement of [-] tons sails leisurely, while other cruisers with a displacement of [-] tons are better. Shaking is stronger.

"Now, we are still [-] kilometers away from the Gulf of Oman. According to the current speed, we can reach our exercise area within [-] hours." The deputy captain said to Ted.

Fifteen hundred kilometers away, thinking about tomorrow, the Arabs will have a drill, and now, no matter what, it is impossible for them to arrive ahead of time.

"Order formation, speed up," Ted said.

Now, their formation is sailing at an economical speed. If they sail at the highest speed all the time, it will quickly consume their precious fuel.

Although the top speed of all kinds of warships is around 30 knots, it is only possible to sail at this speed under certain circumstances, and in this case, fuel will be consumed in staggering numbers.During normal sailing, an economical speed of about 20 knots is used.

Even so, the aircraft carrier formation has to replenish fuel at intervals of about a week, and their formation is followed by two large supply ships.

But now, I can no longer be stingy with my fuel consumption.

Boost!

After Ted and the captain of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier next to him reported the news, the entire formation decided to speed up the formation.

Qeshm base.

Four JH-7 fighter jets are making the final preparations before take-off. Each plane has [-] external hardpoints. The inner pylons of the wings are equipped with two anti-ship missiles produced by Iraq itself. The outer pylons and the belly Each of the lower pylons is equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank, and short-range missiles are mounted on the wingtips.One of them also carried reconnaissance camera equipment.

This time, they will carry out an important flight mission since the JH-[-] returned to China!

Just half an hour ago, Iraq's reconnaissance system and satellites in space discovered information about the US dual aircraft carrier formation sailing at sea. After careful consideration, President Qusay agreed to this bold simulated attack plan, allowing the US to Everyone knows that from now on in the Arabian Sea, they are no longer showing off their might.

In the case of the very successful operation of the first resource satellite, Iraq invested again and has a total of four reconnaissance satellites, initially forming a surveillance platform.

Due to this action by the United States, Iraq adjusted the orbit of the satellite and flew over the area where the US Navy appeared, and finally found their traces.

Although the aircraft carrier is large, the probability of finding it from space is similar to that of ants on the ground. Iraqi satellites scanned the sea repeatedly, focusing on monitoring the possible routes of the US aircraft carrier, and finally found the target.

At this time, the two aircraft carrier formations of the US Navy were still [-] kilometers away from the Qeshm Island base.This distance is the maximum combat radius of the JH-[-].

This distance is absolutely safe. The Americans would never have thought that the Iraqis would dare to provoke them. Moreover, at such a long distance, there are still six strong winds in the sea area. However, this also increases their chance of success.

This is a simulation, maybe next time, it will be actual combat.

Although the US aircraft carrier formation is so invincible, as if it is invincible, but in later generations, it was teased by the Russian aviation unit that has almost become a lean camel, and the Su-27 and Su-24 fighters easily broke through The unbreakable defensive circle that the Americans claimed appeared in the sky above their heads.At that time, it was the Kitty Hawk that made a big embarrassment.

What the Russians can do, the Iraqi Navy can also do. The young Iraqi naval aviation will create a miracle.

Future warfare is already a confrontation of a system. Satellites in space, early warning aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft form an intelligence system through the C3I system. Warships, fighter planes, and submarines conduct coordinated strikes. This is the future combat style.

The flight of the JH-10 takes more than an hour, and in this more than an hour, the opponent's aircraft carrier battle group has been able to move a distance of about [-] kilometers. Therefore, the JH-[-] is now taking off. The location that may appear, and in five or [-] minutes, Iraq's next satellite will also fly into the sky to detect the location of the US aircraft carrier battle group in advance.

Although this operation was very dangerous, seeing the confident expressions of these pilots, Major General Saad knew that he didn't need to say anything to encourage them, as long as they acted, it was fine.However, he still said something.

"Last time, you bastards blew my hat off. This time, you guys are going to blow off my American hat!"

Although Saad was furious last time, in the end there was still a lot of thunder and little rain. After asking them to write an in-depth inspection, even if it passed, these bold guys were not grounded.

"Yes!" Emad replied.

Stepped into the cockpit, made various preparations before take-off, filled with fuel, and the nearly 27-ton JH-[-] began to roll on the runway.

The two-wheeled landing gear left the runway and retracted into the belly of the aircraft. The four JH-[-]s began their journey.

Flying at sea, the biggest difficulty is the sea and sky line, all the same sea water in sight, stretching as far as the eye can see.In this case, I firmly believe that the instrument is the right choice, and, this time, they have always been flying at ultra-low altitude.

Moreover, a new type of navigation system is loaded on their fighter planes, the onboard receiver of the GLONASS satellite navigation system!

Now, after Iraq's capital investment, the Soviet Union's satellite navigation system has finally been networked, and various military and civilian receivers developed by Iraq have also begun to be put on the market. The first batch of use is the Iraqi army.

Chapter One Thousand and Eleven Simulation Attacks

Historically, from 1982 to 1985, the Soviet Union launched 3 simulated satellites and 18 prototype satellites for testing.The official construction of the GLONASS system began in 1985. From 1985 to 1986, six real GLONASS satellites were launched into space. Compared with the prototype satellites, these satellites improved the timing and frequency standards and enhanced the stability of the frequency. , though their lifespan is still only about 6 months.Since then, 16 satellites have been launched to continue to improve. The design life of these new satellites is 12 years, and the actual average life is 2 months.

By 1987, the GLONASS system had launched a total of 30 satellites including early prototype satellites, and 9 satellites were available in orbit. The satellite launched in 1988 is a further improved version, weighing 1400 kilograms, using three-axis stabilization technology and a sophisticated cesium atomic clock, and the design life is further increased to 3 years. It is already a finalized GLONASS satellite for later generations. A total of 54 satellites were launched.

Now, with Iraq's capital investment, these new satellites have established a comprehensive navigation system covering the entire Middle East. Moreover, the satellites have been improved and their lifespan has been increased to five years.

With this kind of satellite navigation system, coupled with sophisticated inertial navigation, they can accurately determine their position, which is also the prerequisite for finding the US aircraft carrier in the vast sea.

At this time, the new generation of GPS positioning satellites in the United States has not yet started launching, and the networking work was completed in 94. In this regard, Iraq is once again in the forefront.Moreover, with the launch of navigation satellites, various precision-guided weapons in Iraq will also appear like bamboo shoots after a rain. Ordinary bombs, with the addition of satellite navigation components, will greatly improve precision, and cruise missiles will increase their accuracy. Installing these components can also raise the attack precision to a higher level.Especially in flat desert areas, the terrain matching system cannot achieve the maximum effect.

The Iraqi Navy has also benefited from this project. For example, the navigation system installed on their fighter jets allows them to more accurately determine their position in the vast sea.
