Chapter 423: Naval Transformation

Modern level? After hearing Mr. Deng's request, Andre was also stunned. Why does history always repeat itself so strikingly?

Of course, Andrei knew this destroyer very well. In later times, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the huge military industrial enterprises in the Soviet era were on the verge of bankruptcy, and the warships that were being built in the shipyards became orphans, left alone to the wind and rain. This was the fate of the Varyag in later times.

At the same time, the two unfinished Type 956 destroyers 878 and 879 were left on the slipway. China was interested and, after inspection, decided to buy the two warships. After China bought them, it felt good and ordered two more. The four Sovremenny-class destroyers became the main force of the East China Sea Fleet.

This period of history is very sad. After the Sovremenny class was bought back, countless media outlets were promoting the huge destructive power of the SS-N-22 anti-ship missiles on it, which were hailed as the nemesis of aircraft carriers. The media were a bunch of military blind people, not knowing that the defense circle of the US aircraft carrier formation was 500 kilometers! This kind of missile with a range of more than 100 kilometers, if you really intend to attack an aircraft carrier, it would be a total suicide! Before you get close to the US aircraft carrier within 100 kilometers, you will be sunk by the Harpoon missiles launched by the carrier-based aircraft.

For China, the entry of the Sovremenny-class destroyers was mainly to allow China to obtain medium-range air defense missiles. For China at that time, the Sea Rattler, which only had a little defense, was quite miserable. The Sovremenny-class 9M-8 gave the Chinese Navy the ability to defend against air attacks at a distance of 20 kilometers. The Chinese Navy at that time was extremely sad, and it was precisely because of this that they worked hard. With the domestically produced large shield, their own vertical launch, and advanced air defense destroyers, the Chinese Navy finally no longer lost confidence in front of enemy aircraft.

That is a humiliating history.

At present, the Chinese navy is also quite weak, without even a Sea Rattler, and its air defense relies entirely on machine guns! It is simply at the level of World War II.

The Sovremenny class was the most advanced guided missile destroyer in the Soviet Union at that time. Together with the Dreadnought class, it formed the backbone of the Soviet Navy. China also wanted this latest guided missile destroyer? Moreover, it wanted two of them?

"I need to convey your request to Moscow, but in my personal opinion, there should be no problem with export," said Andrei.

Modern level! If it were the Soviet Union in history, it would definitely be held as a treasure now, but now with Andrei's travel through time, a great change has taken place!

The Soviet Union's naval power has always been weaker than that of the United States, so the Soviet Union came up with the idea of ​​saturation attack to deal with the US Navy. Now, with Andrei's intervention, the Soviet Navy has also begun to move towards the era of fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft. The era of the big navy is coming.

Correspondingly, the Soviet Union's naval forces will be adjusted. The most offensive force in the aircraft carrier formation is not its own warships, but carrier-based aircraft! The task of attacking enemy warships will be carried out by carrier-based aircraft in the future! The responsibility of the warships is to escort their own aircraft carriers!

In this case, both the Modern-class and the Dreadnought-class are inappropriate. The Soviet Union needs professional air defense destroyers! The United States has developed the Aegis system, and the Soviet Union must also have its own corresponding warships! In the past, due to the limitations of its own electronic capabilities, such warships were out of the question! The four-sided phased array radar of the Aegis system needs to process a huge amount of data! Now, after absorbing the technology of the island countries and developing these systems, Soviet engineers have enough confidence!

Therefore, although the technology of the Modern-class is advanced, it will no longer be the main force of the Soviet Navy, and the export of such warships will not be subject to too much restrictions. Although it has powerful supersonic anti-ship missiles, it is not easy to imitate that kind of rocket ramjet engine with China's existing technology, at least not within ten years, so it will not pose too much threat to the Soviet Union for the time being.

Andre's statement made Mr. Deng very satisfied. Although Andre said he would report to Moscow, since Andre himself thought there was no problem, the possibility that the Moscow top leaders would agree was quite high.

"Gazhizhi, gazhizhi." The tank tracks crushed the yellow land. A commander emerged from the tank's turret and could see rolling mountains all around.

Isfahan! After several months of hard fighting, this city in central Iran finally fell into the hands of the Iraqi army! With the remaining power of victory, the armored division of the Iraqi Republican Guard continued to move forward! After crossing these mountains, they will enter the plains and desert areas in central Iran, and the capital of Iran is only a few hundred kilometers away!

Advance to the Iranian capital and put an end to the HMN government once and for all!

The damn Americans actually withdrew their troops at such a critical moment, which made Iraq very unhappy. However, even without the Americans, Iraq will win the war!

The 8th Armored Brigade of the Hammurabi Division was still charging in the front. Brigade Commander Ali was quite satisfied with their T-72 tanks. Since the offensive in recent days, the T-72 tanks have always been known for their sturdiness and reliability, and when charging, they are also a sharp knife!

"Brigade Commander, be careful of the Iranian snipers." Seeing Ali leaning out of the turret, the gunner on the other side couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't be afraid. We have destroyed the main armed forces of the Iranians. Now, we have to go on a big race and drive to Tehran as soon as possible! After passing these damn mountains, we will enter the desert, and the assault there will be quite smooth!" Ali said. He looked up and saw a Mi-24 attack helicopter flying low above his head. At this time, the Iranians wanted to challenge their own armored forces with a single soldier. It was simply a suicidal act. After these days of fighting, the number of such people has been gradually decreasing.

"Boom!" At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the distance. From afar, the Mi-24 armed helicopter could be seen falling down, dragging thick smoke.

There really are such Iranians!

"Entire brigade, battle formation, charge!" Ali shouted on the radio. "Kill any Iranian resistance!"

Thick smoke came out of the tail of the T-72 tank, and the tank engine with the accelerator pressed to the bottom roared. The cluster of T-72s charged! The helicopter must have been shot down by a single soldier on the ground with an anti-aircraft missile. I really don’t know where the Iranians got these weapons!

Suddenly, the view ahead became clear, and Ali's blood boiled. It was the Iranian armored forces!
