Chapter 388: A Kiev-level Seller's Show
The treatment received by Admiral Damras during his visit to the Soviet Union was even more advanced than that of Defense Minister Kapoor's visit to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet side almost came up with a standard second only to the reception of the head of state. From the moment he got off the plane from the international airport in Ukraine, Defense Minister Yazov and Patriarch Alexei II of the Orthodox Church stood on the parking stand, quietly waiting for Admiral Damras to appear from behind the door of the plane.
"I'll leave it to you, Patriarch Alexey." Minister Yazov nodded to the kind-looking priest beside him, signaling that everything was going according to plan, even he did not expect that the Soviet arms negotiations actually involved a peace-loving leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, which is really a bit inexplicable irony to think about.
Alexei II bowed slightly, looking at the slowly opening hatch, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As long as he stood here, even without saying a word, it was the beginning of the victory of the USSR.
When Patriarch Alexei II appeared in his field of vision, Admiral Damlas's excitement was overflowing, he did not expect that Moscow would prepare such a grand reception, so that he could experience for the first time what an honor it was to listen to the church of the saints in person.
"Greetings, Patriarch Alexey." Admiral Damras tried his best to make his bad Russian look less bad, and he looked at the Orthodox spiritual leader in front of him, like a child at a loss, and he didn't know what to say.
"I'm just so excited, really, I didn't expect you to come and receive me in person, it's really a great honor for me."
"The Lord treats every devout believer equally, General Damras. Although you are a guest from afar. But you are also a devout believer in the Lord. Alexei II replied calmly. Whether rich or poor, healthy or sick, the Lord will treat everyone equally. You are not treated differently because of the color of your skin or your origin. ”
Alexei's deception was very useful to the Orthodox Christian, Damras, who nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "I am very honored to be able to listen to the priest's teachings. ”
The priest then accompanied Alexei on a tour of the Kiev and Minsk, which had previously been sold to South Korea and India. Be cautious now, the remaining two remain in the Black Sea shipyards, quietly waiting for their bleak future and tragic fate.
Of course, in order to make these two aircraft carriers still have the combat capability before they are decommissioned, the Soviet official top brass specially sailed the aircraft carrier to the offshore waters for sailing, and Admiral Damras felt the shock and impact of this steel giant on the deck. He touched the fence and said with some emotion, "This is the real aircraft carrier, if India has three aircraft carrier battle groups, then no country's navy in the Indian Ocean can be India's opponent." ”
Alexei II flattered him from time to time, giving Damras a fluttering feeling, as if their journey was a sea of stars. Only Defense Minister Yazov watched the performance of the Indian generals without saying a word, which was not only funny in Yazov's opinion. And ridiculous. A country that can't even build an aircraft carrier is trying to talk about the role of the hegemon of the seas? India is not looking at it with its eyes wide either. How many other sea lords are there above him?
When the Kiev returned, General Damras said to Minister Yazov, "We are very satisfied with the condition of the Kiev-class, and for India there is a real need for such an aircraft carrier as the capital ship of our own navy's new carrier battle group." ”
"There is no rush to negotiate, General Damras, at least not today. There's something else we haven't shown you. Colonel Yazov said with a smile, and he said to the huge cylindrical object behind him, "A real Kyiv-class aircraft carrier not only has a strong combat capability of fighters, but also can replace frigates and destroyers by itself, showing certain air defense and anti-ship capabilities, which is the meaning of the existence of the Kyiv-class aircraft carrier." ”
"See the big guy behind me? This is the SS-N-12 anti-ship missile, the twin SA-N-3 anti-aircraft missile launcher, the twin SA-N-4 missile launcher, the AK-726 twin 76.2 mm gun, the AK-63030 mm near-fire gun, there is no doubt that the Soviet Union is the only aircraft carrier with such terrible anti-ship capabilities and anti-aircraft combat capabilities. This is the culmination of our saturation offensive tactics. Yazov said.
Then came the main thing for the Soviet Union, how could they willingly buy it from their pockets without showing the other side the terrible power of Soviet aircraft carriers?
"General Damlas, do you see that target ship ahead?" Yazov handed the telescope to Damlas, and from the telescope, it was indeed a large target ship that stopped directly in front of their course, blocking the way.
"Don't you want to know if the Kyiv-class is worth buying? Now it's the special project that the USSR has in store for you. ”
As soon as Yazov's words fell, the twin AK726 guns and the 6-barreled AK630 guns were aimed at the target ship, and with a loud bang, two different types of artillery began to pour fire on the position of the target ship, only to see a dazzling flame explode on the sea.
The six-barreled guns splashed countless water on the sea, and the side of the target ship had been riddled with holes from the AK630 guns, and Admiral Damras looked at all this with some dumbfounded, he did not expect the Soviet Union to show its weapons to customers in such a direct and crude way.
Think about it, it's really a terrible fighting nation.
"General Damlas, this is just foreplay, more exciting performances are yet to come, I promise you will be amazed by the anti-ship capabilities of this aircraft carrier, SS-N-12 anti-ship missiles, only one is needed, it can severely damage the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the United States, so that it loses its combat capability, but unfortunately the Soviet Union does not have a suitable scrapped ship that can be used as a target ship, this cargo ship converted target ship can make do with it."
The anti-ship missile was aimed at the target ship, which was already burning with flames, and then it was launched, and the target ship was reduced to ashes in the reflection of Damlas' constricted pupils. After the powerful explosion, only burning debris remained on the surface of the sea, and there was no more target ship, Yazov smiled and nodded, and said to the Indian customer next to him, "Look, we have always treated customers badly. ”
Damrath's expression was a little distorted after recovering from the shock, obviously he was not used to this kind of "seller show" method of watching the battle up close, but he still nodded, and said with a stiff face, "I am very satisfied with this performance." (To be continued.) )
