The Red Alert Begins in the Wasteland

The news that Iraq and Syria have formed a federal government, together with the news that the China Fleet’s three aircraft carrier battle group has returned, have appeared all over the world at the same time. It can almost be said that once again, it has set off a huge storm of public opinion all over the world.

The huge fleet has made its way out of the Persian Gulf. In the Persian Gulf that is as small as a footbath, any fleet that can be called a large-scale fleet has no room for change.

If during a war, without formally seizing air supremacy, and at the same time destroying all the opponent's long-range attack firepower, let the aircraft carrier battle group enter the Persian Gulf, it would be an act of looking for combat.

Even if it is an American aircraft carrier, they dare not enter the Persian Gulf during the war. Of course, this is also when to divide the opponent.

If the opponent is a country like Iran, then the United States must ensure that the Iranian navy is annihilated and that the firepower of coastal defense will not threaten the safety of warships before taking action.

Then the minesweeper clears the torpedoes near the Iranian waters, and the aircraft carrier battle group only needs to fight in the Arabian Sea.

If the target is now Iraq, then the US aircraft carrier battle group must be far away as much as possible.

According to the combat manual of the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, facing a war enemy country with a strong resistance capability, the aircraft carrier must maintain a safe distance to fight.

This can be said to be an iron law. Otherwise, in the face of the strength of other shore-based aviation forces, no matter how strong an aircraft carrier battle group is, how many fighter jets can be dispatched to intercept it, and whether the fleet's air defense can really remove all incoming fighters. destroy.

Of course, if there is no alternative, you should go and still go.

Under normal circumstances, if you can avoid danger, you must avoid it.

The Persian Gulf is not safe. The United States knows this, and Cai Ruichen also knows more clearly. Cai Ruichen sent them out as soon as the Iraqi Navy’s dual aircraft carrier battle group was established.

It happened to leave with the home fleet that was ready to set off. Five huge aircraft carriers, plus all the other warships, formed a huge fleet with a combat range covering the entire area around the Persian Gulf.

At the exit of the Strait of Hormuz, all merchant ships and oil tankers that had to enter the Persian Gulf could only wait on the side.

The mighty fleet, more than forty main combat ships, plus five aircraft carriers among them, are extremely rare since World War II to the present.

Even during the Iraq War and the Gulf War, the number of aircraft carriers dispatched by the United States was at most four, and two were in the Persian Gulf and two in the Mediterranean.

The United States has hardly combined four or more aircraft carriers into one huge fleet group at the same time, which is at most a double-carrier battle group or a three-carrier battle group.

In fact, this is also the case that the United States has not yet been able to encounter a carrier battle group capable of dispatching more than four aircraft carriers at the same time in the current global challenges.

When I came over, it was vast and mighty along the way, and when I returned, the scale was even stronger.

In the original fleet, the largest Liaoning ship was already a huge ship, but now it is a little guy in front of the four Baghdad-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

It seems that its size is a bit bigger than the two amphibious assault ships next to it.

At this time, three days have passed since the launching ceremony, and three days have been prepared before the warships of both sides started to leave the Persian Gulf.

Such efficiency is also extremely rare in other countries.

In the case of the United States, an aircraft carrier battle group calling at the port does not mean that it can leave immediately. The preparation time and the time for a comprehensive inspection of the equipment will take at least four or five days.

Of course, this is a matter of peace, and if it is during a war, the length of preparation time is determined by the task.

In peacetime, after the ship docked, part of the crew began to take vacations. The ship would start to replenish materials and fuel, ammunition, and overhaul equipment. Under normal circumstances, a rest would take at least several months.

Many people originally thought that if the two aircraft carriers in their hometown wanted to set sail, they would need at least ten and a half days to prepare.

It took only three days to set off. The most surprising thing is that the preparation efficiency of the Iraqi Navy is even more amazing.

Fortunately, the two homecoming aircraft carriers are empty.

The Iraqi navy that followed was all fully loaded, the carrier-based aircraft reached the highest rated number, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were loaded on the aircraft carrier. The other warships were all full of fuel. The bomb set sail.

In three days, the completion of all this has also officially let the world see what the speed of the Iraqi navy is.

If it were to be kept in the past, someone said that an aircraft carrier would be able to go out to sea for combat effectiveness three days after it was launched, then this person must be said to be a lunatic.

But now, the facts are in front of everyone. It can only be said that the world is still the same, but the Future Technology Group and the Iraqis are a bit crazy and scary.

Fortunately, the Iraqi Navy has not really used the aircraft carrier for combat readiness cruises. This time out of the Persian Gulf is for the aircraft carrier sea trial.

For the aircraft carrier, the Persian Gulf is just a small lake, and the real battlefield of the aircraft carrier is on the ocean. Using the lake to test the capabilities of a giant dragon is simply a joke~www.wuxiaspot.com~The real aircraft carrier For performance, the best place to test is in the depths of the ocean. Under complicated weather conditions and sea conditions, the aircraft carrier can still play its combat capabilities, and the aircraft carrier is considered half qualified.

Therefore, this time the return journey of the home fleet is not to return to the country directly through the Malacca Strait. It will also be in the middle of the Indian Ocean, at the equator line, using the complex sea conditions brought by the circulation of the Indian Ocean to test the aircraft carrier on the turbulent sea. Whether it can still be as stable as a mountain, whether all the equipment and hardware facilities above meet the requirements of actual combat.

This point is also required by my hometown. After all, the aircraft carrier seen on the slipway is quite different from the actual aircraft carrier.

My hometown has already paid 200 million tons of iron ore for these two aircraft carriers. Naturally, I hope to buy something that is genuine and good at a fair price.

Even the hometown thinks it is impossible for Cai Ruichen to pit them, but it is extremely necessary to understand the details of the two new aircraft carrier family members and all the performance details.

And since the four aircraft carriers were launched together, the sea trials were also simply together, which happened to confirm each other and get more detailed test data. (To be continued.)
