Chapter 798 Sunburn Anti-Ship Missile

Now, it is night, but the streets of Washington are still brightly lit. People in the free world are enjoying their nightlife. Stimulated by shale oil, the US economy has finally begun to improve.

The lights in the White House were shining brightly. Standing in front of the window of the White House, Reagan silently lit a cigar, but he still couldn't calm himself.

When Reagan won the election, defeated Carter, and was re-elected president, he was full of confidence and wanted to lead the United States out of the shadow of the Carter era and continue to play the leading role in the Western world. But now? Everything is drifting away!

It is obvious that the Soviet Union is behind the war in Argentina this time. However, the United States has never publicly accused the Soviet Union. In fact, the United States is trying hard to downplay the influence of the Soviet Union!

Because the Soviets also have a huge fleet of aircraft carriers! The Soviet Union has begun to compete with the United States for sea power! As one grows stronger, the other loses! The United States is gradually becoming weaker, not only on land, but now, even at sea, the United States is beginning to become weaker! Without a huge economy as a foundation, the United States cannot dispatch more fleets!

Although the failure of the first operation in the South Atlantic was mainly due to the Navy's underestimation of the enemy, if the United States had sent out a battle group consisting of three aircraft carriers at that time, it would have been enough to support the victory of the entire war with absolute force! But what about now? The top brass argued for a day before they decided on a plan to send out a second aircraft carrier battle group!

I hope the war in the Falklands can go smoothly. After all, our economic situation is already very bad!

Shale oil is not a panacea. In Europe, American electronic products are facing serious backlogs, and the high-tech advantages that the United States is proud of are now gradually being lost!

What else can the United States have? If the U.S. economy cannot recover quickly, then the United States will continue to weaken like Britain did in the past. After World War II, Britain still had a large ocean-going fleet, but now? Britain doesn't even have a decent aircraft carrier! Now, in the quarrel in Congress, the United States can't even send out three aircraft carrier battle groups at the same time! When did America fall to this point?

How sad!

What is the reason that makes the situation in the United States worse again and again? I hope that I won’t hear any bad news again. I hope that this damn war will end and the British will be able to take back the Falkland Islands. Then, the United States can exploit the oil around the Falkland Islands. Although the reserves are not large, the United States will never give up any oil base now.

When the United States agreed to send troops, one of the additional conditions was to exploit the oil around the Falkland Islands!

The night gradually deepened. When a roar similar to that of an airplane engine and a sound similar to that of a ship passing through the water came from the sea in the distance, Cruise turned on the lights on the entire oil platform. In an instant, the entire oil platform was like a lighthouse, brightly lit.

At this time, standing on the railing, Cruise could also see a monster that looked like an airplane and a ship appearing on the sea in the distance. At this time, the monster was gliding on the sea, and its speed was getting slower and slower. When it approached its own oil platform, its speed was still not low.

With only two engines left, the monster kept moving closer and closer to the oil platform.

"Pigeon No. 1, Pigeon No. 1, this is No. 2, please pay attention to the speed, pay attention to the speed!" Holding the radio, Cruise shouted to the opposite side.

Soon, a voice came from inside: "Don't worry, there's no problem."

The Soviet captain is always so arrogant! Cruise looked at the ground effect vehicle, which was rushing towards his lower part, and couldn't help but worry. Damn, will it hit him?

At this moment, the other party was seen slowing down rapidly. It turned out that the other party's engine was equipped with a reverse thrust device like that of an airplane!

As the speed continued to decrease, the ground effect vehicle successfully drilled into the lower part of the oil platform!

✨ *Your reading journey starts here!* **wtr-lab.com**​​

Oil platforms have to undertake offshore drilling, have living areas for personnel, have oil storage facilities, and tankers come to take the oil away at regular intervals. Therefore, oil platforms are not small in size. Now, this ground-effect vehicle has drilled into it, and nothing can be seen from the air.

"Where are our Argentine brothers?" When the hatch was opened from the ground effect vehicle, a ladder had been lowered from above. The captain (or was it the captain?) shouted loudly: "We don't have much time. We must let our Argentine brothers learn how to operate quickly!"

"Thanks to our Soviet friends!" At this time, there were some more Argentines up there. They climbed down the ladder while shouting.

Standing on the top of the large ground effect vehicle and looking at these huge cylinders, Argentine Navy Captain Carlos Marchetans was overwhelmed with emotion. He would be the commander of this huge ground effect vehicle and go to attack the American aircraft carrier!

"These on the top are our anti-ship missiles, right?" asked Marchtans.

"Yes, these missiles are in good condition in the launch box and can be kept for a year and a half. They just need to be retested before use. The effective range of this missile is 120 kilometers. As long as we get within 100 kilometers of the target, we can launch an attack. As for its power, a 10,000-ton warship will definitely be sunk if it is hit by one." The Soviet captain said, "Now, follow me downstairs, we will learn the specific operations. In fact, it is almost the same as flying a plane."

Sunburn anti-ship missile! Soviet codename 3M80, Western codename SS-N-22, in later generations, once introduced to the Chinese Navy with the Sovremenny class, it was well known by military fans. This missile was also known as an aircraft carrier killer at the time. Although it was purely the YY of military fans, it was exciting enough, because the power of this missile is unparalleled!

This missile, developed in the mid-1970s, is the first practical supersonic anti-ship missile in the Soviet Union that uses an integral combined ramjet engine. It may be a bit outdated in the future, but now it is absolutely impossible for the American defense system to intercept it! At their current level, being able to intercept a subsonic Exocet is already pretty good!

Historically, this missile was not officially put into service until 1984. However, with the development of the Soviet Navy, this missile has been developed ahead of time and equipped with the Soviet Navy along with the Sovremenny class. It can be regarded as the latest anti-ship missile in the Soviet Union!

However, if they are handed over to the Argentines for use, there is no need to worry about leaks. They are now kept on the offshore oil platform, which is already under the supervision of the Soviets. Once they are launched, they will either be sunk or the missiles will be fired. No real objects will be left. Moreover, the Argentines will never dare to disassemble the missiles to check. If they are damaged, they will be gone!

The historical model only had a range of 90 kilometers in the early stage, but now it has a range of 120 kilometers. Of course, this type of anti-ship missile is still not enough to deal with American aircraft carriers. You know, the American aircraft carriers rely on Tomcat carrier-based aircraft and E-2 early warning aircraft, and the defense radius is as high as 500 kilometers! This kind of thing should be intercepted by the Americans before it reaches the range of the missile.

However, the P-700 Granit anti-ship missile with a range of more than 500 kilometers is the core equipment of the Soviet Navy and it is absolutely impossible to give it to the Argentines. Moreover, although the range is not far, it is three times the range of the Exocet! This is not the future, and this missile still has enough opportunities!

It is impossible for the Americans to remain highly alert at all times. Otherwise, how did Andrei fly the MiG-25 over the American aircraft carrier formation? There are many opportunities. As long as you find an opportunity, you can kill the American aircraft carrier with one move!

Moreover, although the missile is not powerful enough in terms of range, the platform is powerful enough. This ground-effect vehicle has a high speed and a large payload, and is simply specially prepared for US aircraft carriers!
