Detailed report on Russian aircraft flying over Kitty Hawk

The whole story of Russian "Su -27" raiding American "Kitty Hawk"

165438+1October15th, the Russian military revealed a shocking news: Su -27 fighters of the Russian Air Force successfully launched a surprise exercise on the American aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk in the Sea of Japan a few days ago. This means that if it is actual combat, the United States, the only aircraft carrier permanently deployed overseas, has been buried at the bottom of the sea.

Kitty Hawk sailed into Otaru Port.

"Kitty Hawk" entered the Japanese Navy and the Russian Air Force to practice.

There are very good reasons for the US Navy to favor Otaru Port. Kitty Hawk docked in Japan to cope with the complex situation in Northeast Asia and East Asia. During the Cold War, the Sea of Japan was the battlefield of the US and Soviet navies. Although Russia's military strength is not as good as before, after Putin became president, he did not throw himself into the arms of the West, which made Americans sleepless. In addition, the situation on the Korean peninsula is still unclear, and Americans pay special attention to Northeast Asia. If the US military can stop at Otaru Port to deal with the situation in Northeast Asia, the US military will have the upper hand. Therefore, Kitty Hawk has been looking for opportunities to enter Otaru Port.

In fact, the cruiser accompanying Kitty Hawk applied for entry as early as September 28, but because Otaru refused to enter the country for various reasons, she had to stop outside the port and stand by. Kitty Hawk can only swim in Japanese waters.

The Kitty Hawk carrier battle group is the longest-serving aircraft carrier among the existing aircraft carriers. It was built by new york Shipbuilding Group in New Jersey, USA. It was officially launched at the Philadelphia Naval Wharf on April 29th, 196 1. It has been 39 years. Kitty Hawk is named after Kitty Hawk Village, the test flight site of the first man-made plane in the history of successful pilots of Wright brothers.

In the past, Kitty Hawk made great contributions to the US military. 1In September, 962, Kitty Hawk left the military port of San Diego to perform its first deployment mission in the western Pacific. From 1963 to 1976, Kitty Hawk and the US Air Force1/wing serving on the ship at that time were completed.

1in March, 976, Kitty Hawk returned to Brighton, Washington, for renovation, and changed the carrier battle group that was originally given only attack tasks into a multi-task oriented carrier. In this way, Kitty Hawk was equipped with the latest Tomcat fighter (F- 14) and S-3 pirate anti-submarine aircraft.

198 1 In April, Kitty Hawk was honored for rescuing refugees from Vietnam and Southeast Asian countries during its deployment mission. 19931October, Kitty Hawk also participated in a joint defense exercise against southern Iran after the Gulf War.

1July 6, 998, Kitty Hawk was given a new task: to become the only aircraft carrier battle group permanently deployed overseas in the United States, which is different from the mission of the "independence" aircraft carrier. At the same time, the American 5th Air Wing, originally stationed at Atsugi base in Japan, began to deploy on Kitty Hawk, from June 65438+August 198. Yokosuka port in Japan became the base port of Kitty Hawk. On April 1 1 this year, Kitty Hawk left Yokosuka Port for a routine regional cruise mission drill, and participated in a joint military exercise codenamed "Golden Cobra" with the navies of Singapore and Thailand.

Kitty Hawk belongs to the Seventh Fleet of the US Navy. It has eight boilers and four steam turbine engines. It can park more than 75 military aircraft, four aircraft landing seats, nine 0.5 caliber gun mounts, two M-60 gun mounts and three Kun missile launchers, each of which can launch eight missiles. There are * * * 5,500 officers and men on board, including 2,800 officers and men of the 5th Wing of the US Air Force.

The "Kitty Hawk" sailed for Otaru Port for berthing drills, and the Russians naturally knew its movement and purpose. During the Cold War, the US and Soviet armies were used to the game of "cat and mouse", but after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia had little chance to directly challenge the US aircraft carrier. Now that "Kitty Hawk" is delivered to the door by itself, the Russian army will naturally not miss this opportunity to test its combat effectiveness. As a result, a thrilling scene appeared in the Sea of Japan.

Three raids on the USS Chaos.

165438+1October 9, the weather in the far east was surprisingly good. Russia 1 1 A Su -27 interceptor fighter and a Su -24 reconnaissance plane were quietly launched from an air force base. They will carry out a top secret mission: surprise attack on the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk of the US Navy's Seventh Fleet moored in Japan!

Su -27 of Russian Air ForceNo. 1 1 quickly found the target by relying on the magical "eyes" of Su -24. At this time, Kitty Hawk is still very quiet, and its commander is still discussing with his men how to sail into Otaru Port.

Two Russian military planes activated all jamming and camouflage equipment and quietly approached the Kitty Hawk. Su-24 transmits the detected information to Su-27 in real time. There are indications that the US military has not found the "enemy situation" and everything on board remains the same. Su -27 saw the time was ripe and dived to attack Kitty Hawk. When Kitty Hawk entered the effective range of the Su -27 missile, the Russian pilot did not press the launch button, but pulled the joystick and flew away from the "danger zone". The first raid drill has been completed.

At this time, Su -24 passed the detected accurate information to Su -27 again: at the last moment, there were some signs of chaos on Kitty Hawk. Obviously, before that, Kitty Hawk had been kept in the dark. Su -27 pilots can't even believe this fact: will the US ship not find out if it launches an "attack" at such a close distance? Is the radar on the boat really a vegetarian? In order to further explore the combat readiness of the "Kitty Hawk" American army, they decided to do the same thing again and play a sneak attack game.

This time, Kitty Hawk not only realized the danger she faced, but also began to take action. Su -24 found that when Su -27 approached again, Kitty Hawk was in a mess, a fighter plane had started, and an F- 18 hornet was obviously ready to meet the invading enemy. Su -24 pilots immediately started the panoramic camera system and photographed the chaos on Kitty Hawk completely. Then, the two planes flew out of the danger zone and returned smoothly.

Incredibly, such a wonderful performance of the Russian Air Force was hidden by the Russian army. It was not until 165438+ 10/0/5 that General Konukov, commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Force, admitted the fact of the surprise exercise in an interview with the media. However, he further disclosed that the Su -27 raided the Kitty Hawk as early as June 65438 +654381October+July 7. That is to say, Su -27 visited the Kitty Hawk three times in three weeks, and it only gave the Kitty Hawk the last warning! Russia 1 1 Air Force Commander General Nagevisin could not hide his excitement: "Our Su -27 performed very well and the surprise exercise was quite successful."

Kitty Hawk avoids talking about "leg humiliation"

After the Russian army announced the news of the attack on Kitty Hawk, the international community was quite shocked, because it is really rare to conduct close-range exercises on real targets. Before that, the "Party" and the "Little Hawk" kept their mouths shut about this matter.

10 at 5: 30 am local time on June 13, the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, based in Yokosuka Port, appeared in Haishijianwan, Japan, escorted by a guided missile cruiser. At 6: 40 in the morning, it arrived at the flight deck outside Otaru Port, with a width of 77 meters, and it was almost impossible to pass through the narrow breakwater. The 325-meter-long ship had to rely on the traction of three tugboats moored in the center of the port to slowly dock its hull in the port.

At 7: 46, the Kitty Hawk was finally allowed to enter Otaru Port in Otaru City. Although it was protested by local non-governmental organizations worried about the development of Otaru into a military port, the Kitty Hawk successfully docked at Shengna Wharf in Otaru Port. At 9: 30 in the morning, the "American Aircraft Carrier Otaru Welcome Committee", also composed of non-governmental people, held a welcoming ceremony for Kitty Hawk's arrival at the port. On the other hand, some protesters held the slogan "Kitty Hawk, don't enter Hong Kong", and many tourists came to watch it, making Otaru Port look very lively.

The Kitty Hawk incident of Su -27 in Japan once again shows that the geographical position of Northeast Asia is of great strategic significance, and any trouble may trigger a new round of regional crisis. Therefore, neither the US military nor the Russian military want to give up this region. In this context, Kitty Hawk gradually pushed its range of activities northward, and the Russian Air Force sent secret signals to the United States every once in a while, warning Americans not to forget the existence of Russia.
