Chapter 758: Naval Observation

Study and observe! Hearing this, Andre's eyes lit up. This is certainly a good opportunity! Although the British have declined, they are still a world-class naval power. And what about the Soviet Union? It is a traditional land power. Now, the Soviet Union is constantly developing its navy. The naval force is already extremely powerful, but there is not much real combat experience.

Therefore, at this time, it is quite necessary to send a fleet to observe and see how the first-class countries fight. On the other hand, of course, it also puts pressure on the British!

The British have always been on the same page with the Americans, but after all, the United States is thousands of miles away, so let the British feel the power of their own navy!

"I agree with Comrade Ustinov's proposal, but what kind of naval formation should we send?" Andrei asked.

If we don't want to provoke the British, sending one or two destroyers will be enough. However, that obviously will not achieve the desired effect.

"Our Sovetov aircraft carrier is now conducting sea trials in the Black Sea. I think we should send out a dozen warships to form a formation with the Sovetov aircraft carrier as the core. Well, the reason is to escort the ships of our Antarctic scientific expedition team. What do you think?" said Ustinov.

The Soviet aircraft carrier! The Soviet aircraft carrier is finally on the right track. This aircraft carrier is a super aircraft carrier like the American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier! While this aircraft carrier is being launched and undergoing sea trials, the new nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is also in the final assembly stage on the slipway of the Black Sea Shipyard.

This aircraft carrier was originally equipped to the Indian Ocean Fleet, so the naval soldiers operating it during the current sea trial phase are also officers and soldiers of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Andrei has been busy all the time, and recently he has been busy with a cooperative aircraft development project, so he has not paid attention to the progress of the Soviet aircraft carrier. Now, when he heard what Ustinov said, his eyes lit up: "Our Soviet aircraft carrier has completed sea trials. Can it sail in the ocean? By the way, how are the carrier-based aircraft equipped?"

What Andre is most concerned about, of course, is the carrier-based aircraft!

Hearing Andrei's words, Ustinov nodded and said, "Basically, they are ready for service, and the carrier-based aircraft above are still in the final selection stage. Both MiG-29K and Su-27K carrier-based aircraft may be selected. However, because they have not yet been finalized, neither of these two carrier-based aircraft has been officially produced. Now there are only four of each. If we set sail this time, the MiG-23K will still be the main force. In addition, we need to send an experienced general to serve as the commander of this voyage. It is best if this general has a loud enough name to scare the British."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Andre.

Am I really the one that everyone expects? Although he was from the Air Defense Force, Andre was really tempted.

"Andrei, anyway, this aircraft carrier is under the charge of the Indian Ocean Fleet under the jurisdiction of the Turkestan Military District. Why don't you go with the fleet as the commander-in-chief?" said Andropov.

"Comrade General Secretary, then I need an authorization," said Andre.

"What authorization?"

"Once the British open fire on our fleet, I can counterattack immediately, including using nuclear weapons," said Andre.

Suddenly, everyone was speechless.

"Haha, I'm kidding. Unless the British have lost their minds, they will definitely not attack us. However, the Americans are likely to accompany us, so there is still a possibility of conflict." Andre said, "If we go, the South Atlantic will really be in turmoil."

Historically, the Soviet Union did not have a strong navy. Otherwise, it would not have admitted defeat so easily during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But now, the Soviet Union has finally grown strong enough to demonstrate its power at sea!

The Soviet aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons! This aircraft carrier is the most advanced aircraft carrier built by the Soviet Union! When standing on the deck of this aircraft carrier, you can feel that people are so small.

The Soviet Union has built three aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons. The biggest difference between this aircraft carrier and previous aircraft carriers is, of course, the way its carrier-based aircraft take off!

The previous few ships all jumped onto the flight deck and took off using the aircraft's own power, but this time, it was equipped with a catapult!

With a catapult, the take-off efficiency of carrier-based aircraft will be greatly improved!

Historically, Soviet aircraft carriers were not equipped with catapults, but it was not that the Soviet Union was unable to overcome the technical difficulties of catapults. In later generations, even China overcame the technical problems of catapults and adopted catapult take-offs on newly built aircraft carriers. The Soviet Union had a strong industrial base, so it was even more of a piece of cake for it. The main problem for the Soviet Union was the choice of route. Many senior Soviet naval officials were opposed to catapults.

But now, under Andrei's strong recommendation, the Soviet Navy has reached a consensus that if they cannot equip their warships with catapults, they will become historical sinners!

After several years of research and development, after the Soviet aircraft carrier was launched, the catapult was equipped on the aircraft carrier. The catapult was placed on the front deck, below the four take-off lines!

Andrei was brought here by a helicopter. He flew from Moscow to the Black Sea Shipyard, and then took a navy Ka-27 helicopter to this sea giant.

"Welcome very much, General Andrei." In the sea breeze blowing from the deck, the captain of the Soviet Union, Viktor Alexander Gokinaev, said to Andrei.

Victor was originally the captain of the Minsk. When commanding the Minsk, he showed excellent command ability and was a qualified aircraft carrier commander. The Soviet Navy did not have the foundation of the US Navy and could not gradually select aircraft carrier captains from carrier-based aircraft pilots. Therefore, the experienced Victor was chosen to command the newest Soviet warship, and the former deputy captain of the Minsk was promoted to the captain of the Minsk.

This is a real aircraft carrier! Andre was overwhelmed, looking at Victor beside him, and said, "Comrade Captain, are we ready for this voyage?"

"Yes, everyone on the ship is looking forward to this voyage," said Victor.

Originally, the Soviet Union was planning to sail far away because it needed to go to its own naval port of Chabahar, but now the plan has changed and it has become a trip to the South Atlantic, which is the same.

The warship's voyage is not a spontaneous trip. Various supplies have been continuously transported to the aircraft carrier in the past few days, including frozen and refrigerated supplies, fuel, and ammunition. Now, they have finally left the port and embarked on a long voyage.
