Chapter 561: Beach-Rushing Landing Exercise IX
The U.S. government agreed to give the mercenaries $1 billion a year in technical barrier aid, $50 million in maintenance subsidies for each of the 40 nuclear submarines, 500,000 tons of nickel-chromium and titanium alloy steel to the mercenaries at a low price, and 100,000 tons of nuclear waste for depleted uranium armor at a price of $20,000 per ton.

With regard to the mercenary corps' existing 368 F-15 Hawk fighters, 1,196 F-16 Falcon fighters, 520 A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft, 120 F-14 Tomcat fighters, 540 F-18 Hornet carrier-based aircraft, 30 F-117A Nighthawk fighter-bombers, 48 B-1B strategic bombers, and 301 B-52 strategic bombers, the Air Force technical department will carry out a comprehensive avionics system upgrade, which is planned to be completed within five years.
The F-15 Eagle fighter, the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter and the F-18 Hornet carrier-based aircraft, the three fourth-generation fighters, are equipped with an active phased array radar, and the cost of this alone is more than $5 million, not to mention the core computer module, color liquid crystal display, and friend or foe identification system.
Thirty F-117A Nighthawk fighter-bombers and forty-eight B-1B strategic bombers, replaced with new computers and active phased array radars, and multifunctional displays, were charged $3 million each.
There are 301 B-52 strategic bombers, each of which costs $500,000, and 520 A-10 Thunderbolt attack planes and 120 F-14 Tomcat fighters, each of which is equipped with APG-70 pulse-Doppler radar, at a charge of $1 million.
"Calculating that this is a 10 billion dollar expenditure, it is really distressing to think about it, the US military power has been strengthened a lot, we have obtained a large number of second-hand goods, it is really hard to say whether it is a loss or a profit!" Wu Chen grinned in pain when he heard the US military's offer.
It is precisely because the US military can get more appropriations from Congress to manufacture new equipment while selling second-hand goods, and the improvement of combat effectiveness is not a little bit, but it has become more and more powerful. Wu Chen couldn't figure it out, could it be because his soul traveled through time and space, which affected the operation of the historical trajectory?
"Boss, the U.S. military allows us to sell F-15 Eagle fighters, F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters and F-18 Hornet carrier-based aircraft to third countries, and the conditions are the same as what I said before, we can use half of the equipment in exchange for ten times the income, and this transaction is definitely not a loss." Marcas said.
"I know that we can't lose money ourselves, and the F-16 fighter jets of 10 million US dollars are sold to some local tyrants, at least ten times or more, but the situation caused by this incident is that the US military sold those fighters in average condition, or retired warships and nuclear submarines to us, but they replaced them with new equipment. Wu Chen said with a frown.
Russia's four Kresta-class missile cruisers, four US Forrest Sherman destroyers, and two Newport-class tank landing ships were the target ships of the Kunashir Island military exercise.
"Oh my God, it's spectacular!" The spectators standing on the USS Washington nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, looking into the distance with binoculars in their hands, suddenly let out a strong exclamation with two loud bangs, and the faces of the US Navy generals suddenly changed.
Two Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarines launched two anti-ship missiles under water, accurately hitting the center of the destroyer's hull, and with a huge explosion, the entire warship immediately broke into two and sank into the sea in a few minutes.
Wu Chen stood at the edge of the deck, of course he knew in his heart that the Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarine was equipped with twenty-four Granite anti-ship missiles, and it was also a heavy long-range supersonic cruise missile, which had not yet been known by other countries.
It weighs nearly seven tons, and the warhead is a semi-armor-piercing high-explosive warhead with a charge of 750 kilograms of TNT, and according to the design of the former Soviet Union, it only needs two launches to kill the American aircraft carrier, and the power is naturally very amazing, let alone dealing with such a 4,000-ton destroyer.
A Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser and a Burke-class missile destroyer, each launched a Tomahawk cruise missile, which is the BGM-109B anti-ship cruise missile type, equipped with a four-hundred-fifty-four kg semi-armor-piercing warhead.
With two loud bangs, the Kresta-class missile cruiser was half-crippled by two cruise missiles, and the upper bridge was turned into a pile of scrap metal by the huge force, emitting eye-catching fire and black smoke, and a large hole was torn in the hull, and the sea water kept pouring into it, but it did not sink.
This is simply a slap in the face, the generals of the US Navy looked at the crooked cruiser, and felt hot on their faces, as if they had been slapped hard by the Russian Navy, this is a Tomahawk cruise missile that the United States is proud of, how come it didn't even sink an old warship from the former Soviet Union, when did the other side's construction technology be so good?
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now it was just a 4,000-ton destroyer, and this is a 7,000-ton cruiser, the volume is different, and the manufacturing process is not the same, and the two cannot be compared together." Thompson hurriedly gave the US Navy a step.
The military delegations of various countries watching did not think so, in any case, the facts are the facts, the nuclear submarine of the former Soviet Union sank a destroyer with only two cruise missiles, and it was directly blown up, and the whole process took more than ten minutes.
However, the American missile cruiser and missile destroyer, two cruise missiles did not sink the cruiser of the former Soviet Union, and judging by the current situation, how could it last for several hours. When it comes to shipbuilding technology, you Americans always boast that they are the best in the world, why did you get strained at this time?
The combination of the conventionally powered aircraft carrier Kuznetsov and the nuclear-powered missile cruiser Peter the Great, the conventionally powered missile cruiser Varyag and two dreadnought-class anti-submarine destroyers, two modern-class destroyers, and the Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine and the Boreas-based ballistic missile nuclear submarine are the Russian Navy's greatest reliance at present.
Two Su-33 carrier-based aircraft took off and launched Sandfly supersonic anti-ship missiles at two Newport-class dock landing ships, the nuclear-powered missile cruiser USS Peter the Great launched Granite heavy long-range supersonic cruise missiles, and the Dreadnought-class and Hyundai-class launched Japanese supersonic anti-ship missiles, a strike of this scale and level is simply unprecedented.
The road to the manufacture of aircraft carriers in the former Soviet Union has always been tortuous, and they know their weaknesses, so they have put a lot of effort into the research and development of anti-ship missiles, which are completely aimed at the weaknesses of aircraft carriers, which are basically supersonic and very difficult to defend, even if there are Aegis ships to escort them, they will not be able to withstand the attack of so many supersonic anti-ship missiles.
The U.S. Navy is naturally not to be outdone, relying on its rich foundation and advanced technology, Tomahawk cruise missiles and Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and launching desperately without money, hitting accurately and ruthlessly, and a group of viewers watching it have a toothache, how much does this round of strikes cost?
