Chapter 95: Dispatching Bombers

"No, Unit A was only formed last year to fight against terrorism. The rebellion within the army must be resolved by the army! The Baltic Naval Aviation must be dispatched immediately to sink this warship! Ustinov, what do you think?" Kirilenko kicked the ball to Defense Minister Ustinov.

After hearing Kirilenko's words, Ustinov did not seem to raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "We still have to deal with this matter seriously and fully consider the consequences of various plans. This is a major event, and it is a test of our calmness..."

Old fox! Hearing Ustinov's words, Kirilenko couldn't help cursing in his heart. Who of those who can sit here is not an old fox? Ustinov's position is very strange. He is so close to Andropov and has never violated his will. However, once he and Andropov have a dispute, this guy will play tricks!

This meeting turned into a struggle between Andropov and Kirilenko, and no one wanted to offend either of them at this time.

"Hurry, we must hurry!" Kirilenko said, "If Sablin makes a speech, it will make us Soviets look bad in front of the whole world! Ladies and gentlemen, this is a serious political event, and it is not too serious to take it to the highest level!"

Kirilenko kept emphasizing how serious this incident was and how it needed to be dealt with immediately. If the Western world really made a fool of the Soviet Union because of its own mistakes, it would be a huge blow to the Soviet Union.

How to deal with it quickly? Of course, use aviation to bomb and sink the warship!

"What are you arguing about?" At this moment, everyone heard a familiar voice. They immediately sat up from their seats and looked at the old man who walked in.

Brezhnev has ruled this country for eleven years. Now, with his cold face, he has a kind of majesty that makes people fear.

"General Secretary, we are discussing how to deal with the rebellion of the Alert. Now, the Alert has defected to Leningrad, and things that endanger our national security may happen at any time. I propose to sink this warship immediately!" Kirilenko said immediately when he saw Brezhnev.

Treason! If it was really a betrayal, it should have gone to Sweden or other Western countries! But now, it was in Leningrad! A flame appeared in Brezhnev's eyes. In a sense, it was more dangerous for the other party to defect to Leningrad, because it was a city named after a great proletarian leader! Moreover, it had great significance in the history of the Soviet Union and must not be tarnished!

Seeing Brezhnev's eyes, Andropov's heart suddenly sank. He knew that Brezhnev had already made up his mind to kill!

"Immediately order the air force to bomb this warship, as soon as possible!" Brezhnev said.

"Yes." Kirilenko answered loudly, and while answering, he looked at Andropov in the other corner with the corner of his eyes. There was no doubt that he had won the struggle with Andropov again this time! Humph, it's too early for him to compete with me for the position of successor to the general secretary! In the history of the Soviet Union, there is no precedent for the chairman of the KGB to be the leader of the country. The former Beria had such tragic consequences. Why didn't Andropov grow up and do his job well?

Andropov lowered his head and clenched his fists. He was already the chairman of the KGB. It could be said that if he stomped his feet, the Soviet land would tremble. But now, he couldn't even save his grandson! At this moment, he also had the intention to kill.

At Tukums Airport, 20 kilometers away from Jurmala, a sharp combat alert was sounded by the Soviet 668th Bomber Aviation Regiment.

Countless personnel ran around the base, pushing out aerial bombs from the ammunition depot and loading them onto the Yak-28 bombers at the base.

An encrypted telegram came from the 15th Air Force Group Command, issuing the combat mission of the 668th Regiment, saying that foreign warships had invaded Soviet territorial waters and were approaching Leningrad! This was a missile destroyer equipped with two "Wasp" air defense missile systems. The group army command required the 668th Regiment to immediately launch a devastating air strike on the warship!

As an air force bomber aviation regiment on the front line of the Cold War, although this aviation regiment is equipped with somewhat outdated Yak-28 front-line bombers, its training level is also very high, especially the air strike skills at night and in complex weather conditions. Even under extreme weather conditions, it can carry out strikes on NATO tactical aviation deployment airports.

Ten minutes later, two Yak-28 bombers took off. This was bound to be an unusual mission because this was not a drill!

The pilots of the two Yak-28s were the commander and deputy commander of the 668th Regiment, and they were a little nervous.

The 4K33 "Wasp"-M type air defense missile system is an air defense missile developed by the Soviet Union. Although it has difficulty in attacking high-performance anti-ship missiles, it is very easy to shoot down their two slow-moving bombers.

Now, this bombing is very difficult for our side, especially because we might be shot down by the enemy, because they do not have advanced anti-ship missiles, only aerial bombs, which must fly over the sky to be dropped!

But for the Soviets, for the defense of the motherland, everything is worth it!

By this time, it was already dark. Not to mention attacking, even spotting warships at sea was very difficult. Apart from visual observation, they could only rely on the onboard "Innovation-2" radar bombing sight to search for targets at sea.

In the transparent glass cockpit in front of the nose of the aircraft, the navigator was looking at the sea below. Before departure, they had already obtained the approximate location of the target, which was anchored at an abandoned dock, very close to the power station. However, after half an hour of flying, when they arrived there, they found nothing.

Keep searching forward!

Along the waterway from the abandoned dock to Leningrad, the two bombers continued to search forward. Although the moonlight was bright, there was a wet fog on the sea, and visibility was quite low. In order to search for the target, the two bombers lowered to an altitude of 500 meters, bravely carrying out this difficult mission.

At this time, they did not know that the target they were going to bomb was one of their own warships in the Baltic Sea. Although they were curious about the fact that the other party was equipped with Wasp air defense missiles, they also thought that it might be just a ship exported by the Soviet Union.

"Report, suspicious target spotted!" At this moment, the navigator shouted into the intercom. He could see the hazy outline of the ship!
