Chapter 767: Encounter with a Fighter Plane (Additional Chapter 2)

"General John, the meteorological department predicts that we will encounter a windy and choppy area in another 100 nautical miles ahead, and the wind speed is expected to be above level 9. Should we bypass this sea area or continue sailing as planned?" On the Invincible aircraft carrier, Rear Admiral Woodard asked Admiral John.

The sea is not peaceful. Waves over one meter high are just normal. In bad weather, the waves can be several meters high!

And now, we are about to enter a storm area. This is the information provided by the US meteorological satellite, which is quite accurate.

Looking at the huge nautical chart, as an admiral, John has experienced a lot. During World War II, John was just a young sailor on an escort destroyer, but now, he is already a veteran of the navy.

Do we need to change course when we encounter bad weather? John looked at the location marked on the chart and said, "The Soviet aircraft carrier fleet is less than 300 nautical miles away from us, right?" For some reason, Admiral John always had an uneasy premonition in his heart. Up to now, the Soviet aircraft carrier fleet has left the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Atlantic Ocean. The other side is 300 nautical miles away from us. This is a distance that is not far or close. Will they go their own way, or will the other side follow us all the time?

Damn it! Even if we go back 20 years, the British Invincible Fleet could still dominate the oceans. Why do we have to be afraid of the Soviet navy now?

The US satellite took photos. After entering the Atlantic Ocean, the number of Soviet aircraft carriers increased to eleven. There must be at least one nuclear submarine underwater. Looking at the wide deck and the carrier-based aircraft that sometimes launched by catapult, John was extremely envious. It would be great if Britain had a super aircraft carrier! Then there would be no suspense in the Falklands War.

"Keep going, sail as planned." Admiral John said. Crossing this sea area will keep the Soviets behind. If we go around it, the Soviets will catch up. It is better not to contact the Soviets!

Admiral John looked outside. His own aircraft carrier formation was actually quite powerful. In particular, the newly commissioned Type 42 air defense destroyer gave him the greatest confidence.

In this ocean-going operation, our side's air control capability is very poor. After all, when the Sea Harrier was originally designed, vertical take-off and landing was an advantage, but at the same time its range was quite small. It was almost just a short-range air defense weapon. Therefore, if we want to protect our own warships, we need advanced air defense weapons.

The main force of the formation's air defense is a Type 82 destroyer and three Type 42 destroyers. These destroyers are equipped with the latest British Sea Dart air defense missiles. These long-range missiles using ramjet engines have a range of 70 kilometers! With the protection of these missiles, the formation will be very safe.

Unfortunately, our opponent also has the same Type 42 destroyer. Thinking of this, John felt suffocated.

Just before the war, Britain had no defenses against Argentina at all. At the same time, in order to reduce its own research and development costs and increase revenue, the British also sold Type 42 destroyers to Argentina.

Now, we have to fight Argentina, which is really ironic. Fortunately, the British tampered with the warships sold to Argentina, and the radar parameters used by the missiles are different from those of the original ones, so there is no need to worry about leaks.

Just to one side of the formation, the Type 42 anti-aircraft destroyer, Shelffield, was sailing. Compared to the Soviet warships that always emitted black smoke, the exhaust pipes of the Type 42 destroyer emitted light smoke, and rarely any black color could be seen.

Britain is still quite advanced in modern technology. For example, all British warships have been powered by gas turbines! The use of aviation engines makes the maneuverability of warships quite outstanding, and the acceleration ability is unmatched by warships using boilers.

Captain Salter, standing on the bridge, looking at the sky in the distance, was full of confidence. As a soldier, only on the battlefield can you realize your value! However, World War II has passed, and it seems that there are no more wars to fight. And now, a dispute has arisen in South America, thousands of miles away, and we have to go to the ocean to fight, which is exactly what every naval officer and soldier yearns for! On the battlefield of blood and fire, fulfill your oath of enlistment and realize the value of life!

"Captain, the fleet commander has ordered us to continue sailing according to the original course." The first mate came over and said to Salt.

Salt nodded. It was nothing to cross the storm zone. Modern warships were capable of resisting storms above level 10. We went out to sea to fight, not to travel!

"Order all crew members to get ready and solve the problem of eating before entering the storm area." Salt said.

Only if you are full will you have the strength to fight the storm. As for whether you will vomit, that is another matter.

At this moment, his eyes noticed that there seemed to be a bright spot on the sea in the distance, on the left side of his own warship?

The bright spot was expanding rapidly, and soon its outline was revealed. It was a fighter jet!

Is it our Sea Harrier? No! It seems that there are no carrier-based aircraft taking off from our aircraft carrier! What is that? This is already the Atlantic Ocean!

"Quick, turn on the radar and activate the air defense missiles!" said Salt.

Type 42 is the newest destroyer of the British Navy, and its electronic equipment is also the latest. However, they did not activate their own air defense radar.

When the fleet was sailing in formation, the aircraft carrier with the highest bridge only needed to turn on the radar. After all, it was still far from the war zone! And all kinds of electronic equipment had maintenance intervals, so the radar of their warships was not turned on at all.

And now, an emergency has occurred!

However, it takes time to turn on the radar and aim the Sea Dart missile! Just as the radar in the sphere on top of the bridge began scanning, the fighter plane had already flown over!

That beautiful shape and that chic figure are the pride of the Soviet Air Force, the Su-27 fighter! It flew over close to the sea surface, almost at a height of five meters!

At this altitude, even if the warship turned on the radar, the search distance would be greatly shortened, and would definitely not exceed 30 kilometers! And 30 kilometers is just a blink of an eye for a fighter plane that is penetrating at a high speed at low altitude!

Damn, where did this Soviet fighter plane come from? Just look at the red five-pointed star on the wing, and you can tell it’s a Soviet one!
