Chapter 1145 The Motherland Needs Us

Northern Fleet! Originally, the Northern Fleet was the most powerful of the Soviet fleets. The Northern Fleet's activities covered the entire Arctic Circle, the North Atlantic Ocean, and the waters around Canada. The Arctic Circle was the best launch site for Soviet strategic missiles. At the same time, they were able to support the campaign against Europe at any time. In later times, when Russia's glory was gone, the only Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was still assigned to the Northern Fleet.

But now, the importance of the Northern Fleet has been greatly reduced. After all, in the Far East, the Soviets need to compete for hegemony in the Pacific, and in the Indian Ocean, the Soviets are already invincible. The Soviets are already in rapid global expansion. At the same time, in Europe, the Soviets have also established a good situation.

Therefore, the Northern Fleet now has only one Novorossiysk aircraft carrier. When it was built, this aircraft carrier belonged to the Kiev class. However, later, at the suggestion of Andrei, it underwent a major modification. From the appearance, it is very similar to the later Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, with an angled deck and an upturned bow. The entire deck is used to take off and land carrier-based aircraft. Those complex missiles, especially the powerful anti-ship missiles, are stuffed under the deck.

When it was first put into service, the Novorossiysk made a splash when it passed through the Turkish Straits, shocking the Turkish people. But after that, the Novorossiysk has always been unknown in the Northern Fleet!

Now, there is finally a good opportunity to send troops to Alaska! The Northern Fleet, located near the Arctic Circle, has rich experience in cold-zone operations!

Therefore, the Northern Fleet also participated in this operation! They sailed quickly from the Arctic Circle to the East Siberian Sea to support their landing operations.

However, the strong air currents in the Arctic Circle made the captain, Captain Dovbonya, extremely depressed.

"The current air flow is very complicated. Our carrier-based aircraft cannot take off under such conditions. Otherwise, they may encounter crosswinds during takeoff and be in danger." Inside the bridge, Navy Captain Dovbonya listened to the narration of the chief of the carrier-based aircraft aviation force.

Compared to other places, the climate near the Arctic Circle is unpredictable! Originally, the meteorological department predicted that there would only be a force 5 easterly wind in this sea area, which was the most suitable time for takeoff. However, just before takeoff, a sudden change in the weather began! The airflow here is changing all the time!

Aircraft carriers need to take off against the wind. No matter what kind of aircraft carrier it is, if you want to launch carrier-based aircraft, you must sail at full speed in the direction of the wind and create as many conditions as possible for carrier-based aircraft to take off. Even if it is an American aircraft carrier, the catapult is powerful enough, but it still needs to turn against the wind for takeoff.

At the same time, carrier-based aircraft pilots are most afraid of crosswinds! Once there is a crosswind, the aircraft may be blown to the side! This is quite dangerous!

For an aircraft carrier that takes off by catapult, the crosswind during takeoff is not a big deal. After all, with the restraint of the catapult, the aircraft will not deviate from the takeoff trajectory, which would be dangerous during landing.

For the current Novorossiysk, not only landing but also taking off is quite difficult. If you want to take off from the ski-jump deck at the bow of the ship, it depends entirely on the pilot's own skills!

When the wind direction keeps changing, it is obviously very difficult to take off.

Captain Dovbonya nodded, but his words were still quite firm: "Yes, it is very dangerous for our fighter planes to take off, but as soldiers, we are mentally prepared to sacrifice our lives for our country at any time!"

"Now, our motherland needs us, the front needs us, and our ground effect vehicle unit needs an escorting air force. We have no choice but to do it! Even if we lose half of our fighters during takeoff, it is worth it! If we lose a ground effect vehicle, we will lose thousands of elite soldiers!" Captain Dovbonya was firm: "Now, we have no choice! The motherland needs us, we have no hesitation, and we are willing to sacrifice! This is the duty of a soldier!"

Hearing what Captain Dovbonya said, the director of the carrier-based aircraft aviation force beside him was finally moved. Yes, now the motherland is calling us, the motherland needs us! No matter how big the risk we take, it is worth it!

"Order, launch the carrier-based aircraft immediately!"

The carrier-based aircraft took off! The pilots who had been waiting in the cabin were ready to go! Alaska was taken away from the Soviets by the Americans through conspiracy. Now, the Soviets need to take Alaska back!

Their mission is to escort the landing troops! No matter how great the difficulties are, they must fight bravely!

take off!

On the long take-off line, a MiG-23K was ready to go. When the order to take off came, the pilot immediately turned on the afterburner, and the two RD33 engines at the tail burst out with the maximum thrust. The shape of the aircraft seemed to be reflected on the spoiler. Then, the brakes were released, and the MiG-23K slid quickly on the runway!

The speed was getting faster and faster! At the same time, the trajectory of the plane and the white take-off line were getting farther and farther away! A crosswind blew from the left and blew the fighter plane to the right!

At this point, the pilot knew he had deviated from the direction, but he could no longer control the steering of the front wheels and could only continue to slide forward!

When it taxied onto the takeoff deck, it had already flown in the middle of the two take-off lines!

Everyone held their breath and watched the plane nervously. They saw that it had reached the take-off line on the right, and then, when it was about to fall from the right side of the take-off deck, it finally took off!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that this was just the beginning!

Then, the second, the third, and one MiG-23K after another, with a fearless spirit, taxied from the take-off line and took off!

The motherland needs us!

The crosswind caused the fighter planes to deviate from their planned routes, but they were fearless!

"Oh, no!" A MiG-23K was clearly seen on the bridge. When it took off, the front half of its route was very regular. However, when it reached the middle of the take-off deck, a strong sea breeze blew, and the plane was blown into the sea!

At the moment of crashing into the sea, there was a flash of fire and the pilot pulled the ejection handle.

"Go on, next one!" Captain Doverbonya said without any expression: "Send out a helicopter and rescue the pilot."

The pilot behind continued to take off without hesitation!

Fortunately, only this MiG-23K fell into the sea. A total of 23 MiG-23Ks took off smoothly from the Novorossiysk. This was the support of the Northern Fleet!
