Chapter 551: Prelude to the Exercise VIII
"The Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser has two missile launch bays in the front and rear after refit, the missile launch bay in the bow uses a vertical launch system of American technology, which can launch Standard-2 air defense missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles, Harpoon anti-ship missiles and Hyram missiles, and the missile launch bay in the back uses a vertical launch system of former Soviet technology and can launch Granite anti-ship missiles, Garnet cruise missiles and Hunting Bow 2 air defense missiles, etc., and 436 missiles share a set of combat systems.

"At present, this class of ships uses the Sea Elf combat system, and the most conspicuous feature is the phased array radar system with four radar antennas, because this is a nuclear-powered missile cruiser, so the radar can be turned on 24 hours a day, not affected by electricity, 360 degrees without dead angle monitoring, and can deal with threats from the air, surface and seabed at the same time."
"In order to provide close combat support firepower, a twin 203 mm 55 times caliber naval gun with a firing range of 51 kilometers is installed, using ordinary high-explosive shells and composite guided artillery shells, with a rate of fire of 12 rounds per minute, which is the most advanced naval gun in the world today." Wu Chen was on the Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser and introduced the two of them.
Now that the No. 2 person in Cuba and the Russian president have come together, there must be something to say about this, and the US Secretary of Defense, who got the news, could not help frowning, and he immediately remembered the missile crisis incident of that year. Although Russia is not comparable with the former Soviet Union, Russia has inherited all of the huge arsenal of nuclear weapons left over from the collapse of the former Soviet Union.
NATO, more precisely the U.S. government, has been compressing Russia's strategic space, and after the three Baltic countries joined NATO, it was tantamount to reaching Russia's doorstep, and President Parkkin, who had a strong style of doing things, was very dissatisfied with this.
Moreover, because of ideological problems, the US Government, an old capitalist country, has been carrying out an economic blockade against Cuba, causing the other side to lose trillions of dollars in decades, and there is still no sign of easing.
"Selena, I need you to contact Wu Chen to find out what measures the Russian government and the Cuban government will take, the missile crisis incident is still fresh in our memory, and this kind of thing must not happen again." said the Minister of Defense.
So, after Wu Chen had dinner with the two heads of state in the evening, he talked about this problem in the hot spring with Selena, who had not been together for a long time. The CIA is the agency of the US government responsible for intelligence work outside the country, Wu Chen has long been mentally prepared for Selena's inquiry, today's visit is high-profile, there is no cover-up, if the CIA does not even have this sensitivity, then it is called dereliction of duty!
Selena, who is in her thirties, and Wu Chen have also had a lover relationship for a few years, she was only twenty-seven years old when she first met him, and now it is the most mature and sexiest time for a woman, and it is also the time when she needs him the most.
Selena's body shape has always maintained her weight because of her profession, and she is still so bumpy and convex, two strong and elastic snow peaks, which are particularly dazzling by the lights in the hot springs, and her skin is not like a Western girl, but like an Oriental girl, silky with youthful vitality.
"In fact, there is no secret, the Russian government can't stand the suppression of your United States and NATO, and wants to activate the intelligence base in Cuba, and by the way, deepen ties with North and South American countries, that's it." Wu Chen hugged Selena, feeling the tenderness and elasticity of her body, and said very carelessly.
"This is a big deal for the US government, you also know how important Cuba's strategic location is, that is the key to the Gulf of Mexico, from Havana to Miami on the US mainland, only a distance of more than 300 kilometers, once the Russian government stationed troops in Cuba, it is equivalent to posing a serious threat to the security of the United States, I will immediately report to the secretary of defense, this matter is far more important than the military exercises on Kunashir Island!" Selena said with a frown.
"How do you go to see the Minister of Defense in this state? As long as you are not blind, you know that our relationship is not ordinary, which will affect our relationship in the future, so let's go again tomorrow and accompany me tonight. Wu Chen didn't mean to let go of her.
Selena is not an ordinary agent, she is the director of the CIA's Operations Division, and she is also the contact between the mercenary corps and the U.S. government.
"I said that I would accompany you somewhere else after the exercise, it's all you, and I don't want to wait for so many days, and I will cause trouble if I have nothing to do!" Selina angrily bit Wu Chen's arm.
She really didn't plan to accompany Wu Chen crazy tonight, as a senior agent and senior executive of the CIA, she had this self-control, but Wu Chen was the magic star of her life, and she couldn't help herself when she saw him, and her plan was not as fast as she changed.
The first part of the Kunashir Island exercise is a beach-rushing landing, which will last for three days, including cluster bombing, airborne raids, warship support, precision strikes, air defense drills, amphibious assaults, and coordinated infantry and artillery operations.
In the last two days, the troops participating in the exercise began to set up positions on Kunashir Island, and in strict accordance with the plan of the General Staff of the mercenary corps, they gathered at the designated place, and the slightest deviation in the process could lead to unpredictable casualties.
The first round was cluster bombing, with four strategic bombers, B-1B, B-52, Tu-95, and Tu-22M3, Shield Guardian 1 land-based fighters, F-15, F-16, A-10, and Su-27 fighters, and three carrier-based aircraft, Bumblebee, Tomcat, and Shield Guardian 1, forming a bombing formation in the air.
The naval guns and cruise missiles of the Iowa-class battleships, Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers, Virginia-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers, Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, Burke-class missile destroyers, Spruance-class missile destroyers, and Perry-class frigates, and cruise missiles launched by nuclear submarines including Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, and Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, make up the Navy's close-range attack formation.
The reason why this costly cluster bombardment was arranged was to destroy the fortifications and armored groups of the blue side, as well as to destroy the artillery positions and anti-aircraft missile positions, to open the way for the airborne troops to attack, and to create a relatively safe environment, the density and intensity of which were unprecedented.
