Chapter 797 The Second Aircraft Carrier Battle Group (Additional Chapter 2)
During the development process, the Soviet Union found that relying solely on the ground effect of the wings was obviously not enough, so they added an external plug-in to this aircraft, simply adding an engine in the front to blow the airflow directly to the back to increase the ground effect! This method makes the ground effect vehicle more effective. The current killer of the attack aircraft carrier is a 400-ton giant, and the largest Caspian monster is 1,000 tons, and the transport aircraft will never be so abnormal.
However, there are limitations to the use of ground effect vehicles, and they cannot be used in high sea conditions. Therefore, Andre suggested that the ground effect vehicle could be installed on an amphibious landing ship, which would be in a transport state at ordinary times and could be used in critical moments. Based on his suggestion, the Pigeon was improved, with the focus on making the wings at both ends foldable, just like naval carrier-based aircraft.
Historically, only one such missile attack ground effect vehicle was built, but now, there are at least ten such vehicles in the Soviet Union! It has always been kept extremely secret, and the Americans don't even know it exists. Although the Americans know about the Caspian monster, they have always thought that this thing is still in the experimental stage and has not yet fully matured.

The length of the Dove is just right. Two of them can be put into the Ivan Rogov-class dock landing ship. The only problem is that the wings on both sides are too wide. After being folded, they fit just right.
And now, when the Dove had half of its body exposed and was still on top of the dock landing ship, the wings on both sides began to slowly release and lock. After half an hour, finally, these huge guys spread out their bodies and slid completely into the water.
"Start the engines," the captain shouted.

As the operators pushed the joysticks in front of them one by one, the engines on both sides continued to roar, and hot air flow emerged from the tail of the NK-87 turbofan engine and gushed backwards.
"Engine is OK."

"Soviet, Soviet, Pigeon 1 is normal, requesting to execute the mission."
"Soviet, Soviet, Pigeon 2 is normal, requesting to execute the mission."
"You can carry out the mission. Please note, once you leave our formation, you will belong to the Argentine Navy." Andre shouted on the radio.

Argentina has already had a grudge with the US Navy, but the Soviet Navy has not. The direct confrontation between the navies of the two major powers at sea can easily lead to a world war, so Andre is also very careful and has to set up obstacles behind the scenes. These two ground effect vehicles were indeed sold to the Argentine Navy, but if the Argentine Navy cannot master the operation of these aircraft in a short period of time, its own personnel will have to help the Argentine Navy operate them in the form of mercenaries. These people have nothing to do with the Soviet Navy.
After receiving the order, the captain gave the take-off order, and the operator pushed the joystick to fully open the afterburners of all engines. The powerful thrust of 130 kilonewtons per engine drove the ground effect vehicle to glide rapidly on the sea.
Taxiing and continuing taxiing, the wide sea surface was like a runway for the ground effect vehicle. But soon, the 400-ton ground effect vehicle suddenly felt light. As the speed increased, the wings had enough ground effect to successfully lift the entire vehicle!

The speed continued to increase, but the altitude did not rise. At an altitude of five or six meters above sea level, the ground effect vehicle cruised at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour! Muhammad promised the Argentines that he would deliver this ground effect vehicle in a few hours. He was absolutely not lying. Now, the maritime formation is only 1,000 kilometers away from the waters near the Falkland Islands. It only took two hours! If the entire aircraft carrier formation wants to go there, it will take at least a day! Even if it rushes at full speed, it will take half a day to release the carrier-based aircraft.
Now, there were no American satellites overhead, and the two ground effect vehicles left quietly.
On the sea, the waves continued to beat and night gradually fell.

"What a speechless day!" Captain Harold said on the USS America. "We just waited like this, thinking we would get some good news, but in the end, Galtieri appeared on the TV and called on the whole of Argentina to rise up against us."
After Harold's request reached the Pentagon and the White House, the top White House officials held emergency discussions. However, they did not agree to send strategic bombers to carry out carpet bombing, which would have dealt a heavy psychological blow to the Argentines.

There are many reasons for this. For example, the indigenous people on the island certainly still want to return to the embrace of Britain, and such bombing that does not distinguish between friend and foe will push them to the opposite side.
Moreover, the United States does not have air superiority now and cannot afford to lose a few A-7 attack aircraft. If the B-52 is shot down, the United States will definitely go crazy!
Faced with this situation, the White House finally made up its mind to launch a decapitation strike. After intelligence personnel confirmed that Galtieri had been living in the presidential palace, they took off two F-117 fighter jets, traveled a long distance, and dropped laser-guided bombs on the presidential palace.
As a result, Galtieri is still alive and well! Moreover, Argentina's policy has completely turned to the Soviet Union! Galtieri claimed that the bombing of the presidential palace was intolerable, and the two sides officially broke up.

It's really stupid. The last time a stealth plane bombed Saddam, it was definitely an accident! After that, the situation in Iraq could not be saved. The newly appointed son of Saddam was almost a puppet of the Soviet Union! It can be said that it would be better to let Saddam continue to rule. After all, Saddam is an ambitious person and he is definitely unwilling to be controlled by the Soviet Union. Saddam's son does not have such courage!
Stealth aircraft are good, but they cannot be used like this!
"Has the White House made a decision?" Harold asked Thomas beside him.
"Yes, after a day of debate, the White House decided to send the USS Carl Vinson carrier battle group to form a dual aircraft carrier battle group. After the arrival of this aircraft carrier battle group, we will continue to bomb the Falkland Islands," said Thomas.

Although our aircraft carrier battle group still has combat effectiveness, if we want to achieve an overwhelming victory, we must deploy a second aircraft carrier battle group. Last time, we just didn't expect that there would be anti-aircraft guns on the ground. But now, we have taken precautions and will definitely not make the same mistake again!
The advantage is still on our side! The attack power of the US aircraft carrier battle group is absolutely unbearable for ordinary small countries! Argentina is no match for them! Since Argentina is not submissive, we will continue to conquer them with force!
