Chapter 760 Aircraft Carrier Attack
Early warning aircraft are multipliers of air combat power. When the radar is moved to the sky, all the surrounding conditions can be seen at a glance. At sea, due to the influence of the earth's curvature, ultra-low-altitude penetration is the most commonly used tactic. You know, experienced pilots can fly the plane to a height of ten meters above the sea! In this case, the distance detected by the warship radar will not exceed fifty kilometers! And the missiles carried by the fighter are enough to launch an attack from a hundred kilometers away!
At the same time, with early warning aircraft, we can coordinate our own air forces and carry out organized interception operations. More importantly, with airborne early warning aircraft, it will be easier to detect the enemy's aircraft carrier formation!
In later generations, the An-71 early warning aircraft became famous and its progress was faster than that of the Yak-44. However, this was just wishful thinking on the part of the developer. The Navy had long since rejected this type of early warning aircraft, otherwise, it would not have allowed such aircraft to continue to appear. The Yak-44, which the Navy valued, was kept extremely confidential.
Now, with the help of advanced electronic capabilities, the Soviet Navy has successfully acquired advanced carrier-based early warning aircraft! This is an important sign that from now on, the Soviet Union's maritime power has finally matured!
Now, the Soviet Union is just a lonely ship and will pass through the Turkish Strait alone. After all, the Black Sea is now the Soviet Union's inland sea. The last dispute has not yet ended. Turkey's territory is divided, the Kurds have established their own country, and Greece is eyeing it covetously. Turkey will never dare to intercept the Soviet aircraft carrier like it did last time.

After leaving the Black Sea, other warships will also rush over, including the Type 956 Sovremenny destroyer, hull number 672, and the Type 1155 Dreadnought-class anti-submarine ship, Admiral Spiridonov, hull number 499. In addition to these two conventional combinations, there is another big guy, the Type 1144 Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser Frunze.
As the Soviet Union's demand for sea power became more and more obvious, the construction of the Soviet Navy was also progressing in great strides. The Frunze was not commissioned until 1984, but now, in 1982, its construction has been completed and it is about to join the Indian Ocean Fleet. Coincidentally, these three warships came out of the Baltic Shipyard and planned to reach the Indian Ocean through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal, but now, they can just wait for their own aircraft carrier outside the Black Sea Strait, and then return to the Mediterranean and enter the Atlantic!
Now, the Soviet Union has not officially announced it. I wonder how Westerners will feel when their aircraft carrier fleet goes out?
In addition to these three newly built ships, there are also several original warships of the Indian Ocean Fleet that will cross the Indian Ocean and reach the Atlantic Ocean to join their own aircraft carrier formation.

Of course, submarines underwater are also sailing in secret.
Unfortunately, the professional air defense destroyer, the Dreadnought 3, which Andre had high hopes for, still did not make it to this voyage. Now, the Dreadnought 3 is still in the final outfitting stage.

After the Sky Sentinel radar matured, Andre proposed the idea of using the four-sided phased array Sky Sentinel radar and the vertically launched SAM-11 air defense missile to have the same anti-saturation attack capability as the American Aegis system. As a professional air defense destroyer in the aircraft carrier formation, the navy department agreed with Andre's idea after demonstration. At the same time, the construction of the first destroyer began. Unfortunately, it still could not keep up with the progress.
However, the Frunze, which is like an arsenal ship, has reached its limit in terms of air strike capability. Together with other escorting warships, it is enough to ensure the safety of this voyage.

Standing on the tall bridge, watching the fighter planes landing one after another, except for the first few which were the latest models, the subsequent ones were the most common main force MiG-23K, as well as Su-25 and helicopters. The recovery of the entire carrier-based aircraft wing took less than two hours, and the deck was neat and tidy again.
Andre followed Victor through the gangway and entered the hangar, where very busy operations were going on.
When the elevator brought the carrier-based aircraft over, its wings had already been folded, and more logistics personnel were performing routine maintenance on the aircraft in the hangar.
The air was filled with the moist smell of aviation kerosene. Andre's passing attracted countless ground crew members' respectful salutes. Everyone knew that although General Andre came from the Air Force, he had always firmly supported the construction of the Navy's aircraft carriers. It was because of him that we had this super-giant aircraft carrier.

In a corner of the hangar, Andre saw the Yak-44 early warning aircraft, its wings folded, the twisted twin propellers in front of the engine were so peculiar, and the large plate on the top also looked extremely powerful. At this time, the crew had just completed the handover with the ground staff and were ready to leave.
"Report to General Andre, report to Comrade Captain, we are the carrier-based 1st early warning squadron, and I am the squadron leader Variansico." said Variansico, who was wearing a naval aviation uniform.

Andre saluted in return: "Comrades, thank you for your hard work." After that, Andre couldn't wait to walk into the fuselage through the open door.
The space inside is not spacious. There is a control console on one side and people sit on the other side. On the console is a round screen with rows of buttons next to it.
"Welcome General Andre to visit our early warning aircraft." Seeing that Andre was quite interested in this early warning aircraft, Variancico explained: "The space of our early warning aircraft is not as large as that of the Air Force's early warning aircraft, so there are only four operators. However, the performance of our radar is not outdated at all. Now, our radar can detect targets with a radar reflection area of 3 square meters at a distance of 300 kilometers. The scanning distance for large surface targets such as aircraft carriers is more than 500 kilometers. It can track up to 150 targets and command 40 of its own fighter jets to engage in combat." Variancico said.

In terms of tracking numbers, it cannot be compared with large early warning aircraft, and the detection distance is also closer. However, compared with early warning helicopters, this aircraft is already amazing.
Andre nodded and looked both ways.

"There are cabinets in front and back, all filled with electronic equipment," Variancik said. "Only this side is a small bathroom and kitchen."
Pushing open the door, looking at the toilet in the bathroom, which also had a safety belt fixed to it, Andre said, "This place should be able to withstand the impact of carrier-based aircraft taking off and landing, right?"
