Chapter 652: Conflict Escalates
Who is behind this? Of course it’s the Red Navy’s submarines!
The latest Kilo-class Type 877 diesel-electric submarine of the Black Sea Fleet is a new generation of diesel-electric submarine designed by the Soviet Rubin Design Bureau. It has outstanding underwater silent performance and is even called an ocean black hole in later generations. This submarine will never be found by the Greek Navy or the Turkish Navy, and is most suitable for this wet job.
This place is close to the coastline, and the terrain within the continental shelf is complex, which is not suitable for nuclear submarine activities. Diesel-electric submarines are the most suitable. They wait underwater near the complex terrain, then launch a torpedo to destroy the opponent's transport ship, and then follow the ocean current to retreat to the Mediterranean Sea in the south.
The Greek Navy naturally believed that it was the Turks who did it, so they focused their search in the north, making it impossible to find any trace of the submarine.
The previous Type 641 submarine did not have outstanding underwater silent performance, so the Soviet Union concentrated on various advanced noise reduction measures and developed this new type of submarine. In particular, the addition of multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools made the seven-blade large incline propeller very easy to process and further reduced the noise of the submarine.
The first Kilo-class submarine, B-248, was launched at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Shipyard in September 1980 and delivered at the end of 1980. After testing, it perfectly met the design indicators, and new submarines were launched one after another.
The Kilo-class submarine has already escaped, but we have our own aircraft carrier formation in the Mediterranean. If we are attacked by other navies, we can call for help from our own aircraft carrier formation.
And the Greek Navy had indeed been fooled.
The Turkish Air Force did not come to rescue the escaping naval submarine. They just spotted the Greek naval ship passing by and rushed over immediately. Until now, they did not know that a Greek transport ship was sunk by a torpedo. They just came to monitor the Greek naval ship.
However, when they arrived, they found that the Greek Navy was going too far. They actually launched a ship-borne helicopter and flew towards their own coastline!
Invading Turkish airspace and attempting to provoke us? The Turkish Air Force will certainly not agree!
Now, the number of Turkey's F16 fighter jets is quite scarce, and their main force is still the F4 fighter jet. Moreover, as NATO's front line against the Soviet Union, Turkey's fighter jet performance and pilot training are first-class.
In later times, it was said that Turkey once trained with the Chinese Air Force. China deployed Su-27s, while Turkey deployed F4s. China was not convinced and thought that Turkey was underestimating them by not even deploying F16s. As a result, Turkey said that they would defeat F4s first and then F16s. The final outcome made the Chinese top brass furious. They fought ten games in total, and Chinese pilots only won the last game. Obviously, that was the result of Turkish pilots letting them win. (Some people say it is fake news? Please help me, my readers.)
Huaxia accused the Turks of cheating, but in combat, the only way is to win! From this point of view, the Turkish Air Force is quite strong. They are tenacious and aggressive, and can even attack their own naval ships. What else are they afraid to attack?
Now, after discovering a Greek helicopter flying over the sea, the Turkish pilots immediately decided to teach the Greeks a lesson!
The F-4 fighter swooped down from the sky and flew towards the helicopter.
Lazarus pushed the joystick and began to return. Then the destroyer sent another message that the Turkish fighter planes were still approaching them. In order to avoid danger, Lazarus had to return.
The rotor of the MD500 helicopter stirred the air flow, making a whirring sound, and it was getting closer and closer to the warship. However, the Turkish plane was also flying over quickly!
What are they going to do? As the warnings sounded one after another, an F-4 fighter jet swooped down from the sky with a blazing tail flame and passed by the side of the MD500 helicopter.
"Damn it!" When the enemy fighter plane flew over, the air flow surged and the small helicopter was bumping in the air flow. Lazarus felt that the helicopter was almost out of control!
Come again!
The Turks seemed to be deliberately bullying the helicopter. After flying past, they turned their heads in the air and continued to dive down!
Damn it! Just as the other party flew over his head, Lazarus subconsciously pushed the joystick down, and at this moment, he heard a loud bang.
not good!
Just now, Lazarus's flight altitude was already quite low, only a few meters above the sea level! And now, he continued to push the joystick, and as a result, the helicopter plunged into the water!
The MD500 is a helicopter, not a submarine. The rotor had already touched the water surface a split second before it dived and touched the sea surface! Then, with a loud bang, the engine on top could not withstand the overload and exploded!
The fire was burning like this on the sea, and the Turks actually dared to attack their own helicopters!
"Sea Sparrow missiles, return fire!" Captain Papasta of the Kriezis gave the order immediately without having to report to his superiors.
After the modification, the Gearing class was equipped with Sea Sparrow ship-to-air missiles, which were modified from the Air Force's Sparrow missiles. They have relatively advanced performance and a maximum range of 22 kilometers.
The Turkish fighter plane attacked our helicopter from a distance of 15 kilometers! During this process, our radar had already captured the Turkish fighter plane!
The feud cannot be resolved, it can only be paid with blood on the battlefield! With Papasta's order, white smoke filled the Kriezis, and two Sea Sparrow missiles, dragging flames, flew into the sky!
A few seconds later, there was a loud bang in the sky. One of the two F-4 fighters escaped the Sparrow missile, while the other was unfortunately hit by the Sparrow missile! The missile hit the middle of the fuselage of the F-4 fighter, and then caused the fighter to explode. The two pilots did not have time to parachute and were turned into wreckage with the fighter.
This conflict was not initiated by the Greeks! It was initiated by Turkey! The Turks first sank one of their transport ships with a submarine, and then destroyed one of their helicopters with a fighter plane, while the Turks only shot down one of the enemy's fighter planes! So, Greece still suffered a loss!
The rescue work on the sea is still going on, and the number of missing Greek soldiers who fell into the water has reached hundreds! This blood feud must be avenged!
At the Crete Air Force Base, the Mirage F1 fighter jet of the Greek Air Force took off quickly.
