Chapter 1490 The So-Called Pride of Japanese Sailors
In the vast Indian Ocean, around the two escort groups of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, four Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force submarines are performing anti-submarine missions for the fleet.
Like any fleet's surface and underwater anti-submarine forces, underwater anti-submarine submarines must never approach the fleet's anti-submarine area when performing anti-submarine operations.
Therefore, the anti-submarine work of submarines will all revolve around the periphery of the fleet, providing the fleet with the longest-distance underwater anti-submarine work.
Such a system is to prevent submarines from being accidentally injured by surface fleets as targets. In actual combat, this is absolutely iron-like discipline.
The fleet is sailing on the ocean, and it is super sensitive to any suspicious sonar signals underwater. Even familiar sonar signals are also targets of attack.
This is true even in the U.S. fleet, because the submarine is underwater, the fleet cannot communicate with the underwater submarine, and the submarine cannot contact the surface fleet. It is the safest way to use your own combat area, and it can also expand the overall anti-submarine range of the fleet.
So this has formed an unchanging rule. As long as there are suspicious sonar signals underwater, the surface fleet can attack with confidence, and they are not afraid of accidentally injuring their own submarines.
Under normal circumstances, if a submarine wants to get close to attacking the surface fleet, the first opponent to solve is the submarines outside the surface fleet.
All Japanese submarines are conventional AIP submarines, which belong to the advanced ranks of conventional submarines in the world. They develop extremely fast and have very good navigation performance and combat capabilities.
Before the Akula submarine, Japanese submarines have always been the largest among all conventional submarines in the world, and they are also the conventional submarines with the most powerful attack power. They have six torpedo tubes, which can not only launch torpedoes but also anti-ship missiles. Missiles and anti-submarine missiles are as effective as some attack nuclear submarines during the Cold War.
As for the submarines of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, I'm sorry, so far, the Akula submarine has not appeared in the public eye.
However, the U.S. military has clearly obtained information about the submarines of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation. The Pentagon has determined that the Iraqi-Syrian Federation Navy has a mysterious submarine force, but the size and type of this submarine force have never been disclosed by the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.
The U.S. military has only determined through many suspicious signals that there is a mysterious underwater vehicle that often enters and exits the Persian Gulf, but the U.S. military knows nothing about the size and simple performance of this submarine.
Japan also shared intelligence from the U.S. military. What the U.S. knows, Japan also knows.
What the U.S. military doesn't know, the Japanese side naturally doesn't know either.
How many mysterious submarines are there? have no idea.
Are submarines conventionally powered or nuclear powered? have no idea.
What weapons does the submarine have? have no idea.
What is the speed of the submarine above and below the water? have no idea.
All kinds of unknowns describe information about the submarines of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, so both the US military and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force are extremely careful.
In this world, no enemy, no matter how powerful, is far less terrifying than an unknown enemy.
Even so far, no one knows how many ISF submarines are in the Indian Ocean? Where are they distributed?
Because neither the U.S. military nor the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force have found any suspicious submarine sonar signals, and a large number of anti-submarine aircraft have all found nothing. Even the anti-submarine forces of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force deeply doubt whether the U.S. military has made a mistake in its intelligence. The Iraqi-Syrian Federation has no so-called submarines at all.
If it were an ordinary country, there would be no need for Japan to spend so much on lighting candles, but the Iraqi-Syrian Federation is different. The most powerful part of this country is all kinds of surprises, which are often difficult to parry.
This war has taught enough lessons to NATO and the allies of the United States. There must be no luck in dealing with the Iraq-Syria Federation. It is best to confirm any news and intelligence again and again, because it has already suffered too much.
Unlike the pure pragmatism of the United States, Japan prefers the rigor of the Germans. Therefore, even though many people think that the intelligence of the US military may be wrong, they are still extremely careful and focused in their actions.
However, some things cannot be avoided with repeated care.
Under the dark ocean, there was originally a mysterious area full of unknowns.
On the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force Hakuryu submarine painted with SS503, all the Japanese sailors carefully monitored the various sounds on the seabed, and all the weapons and equipment on board were ready to be turned on at any time.
Helping the surface fleet to guard, this kind of work has been carried out many times, and the Hakuryu has served for seven or eight years. It has participated in many Japanese and American maritime exercises, and its performance is very good. It even simulated the sinking of the US Los Angeles-class attack The brilliant record of nuclear submarines.
This is the overall honor of the entire Hakuryu. Although it has been clearly stated above that it is very likely to encounter the mysterious submarine force of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, the Japanese Self-Defense Force officers and soldiers on board are still very confident.
Even all the crew members are fully prepared to avenge the anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft, in response to the vengeance of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation carrier-based aircraft disemboweling the Japanese Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft in the Strait of Malacca.
As for the submarines of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, the crew on the White Dragon are willing to believe that, relying on the advanced technology possessed by the Future Technology Group in other military equipment, they indeed have the ability to develop an advanced submarine.
But will the ISF use submarines?
This question made all the crew members of the White Dragon couldn't help laughing. The century-old navy is not only talking about the development of naval ships, but also the inheritance of naval culture and the experience of using weapons and equipment at sea.
In the eyes of the vast majority of Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force soldiers, an army soldier can indeed learn to use army weapons and equipment in a short time, but the navy is completely different. Every warship is a huge whole. Handing over an advanced submarine to an inexperienced army like Iraq or Syria is no less than putting a main battle tank in front of a caveman. Will it work?
The answer, of course, is that it is impossible to use it.
So although everyone is very careful and meticulous, fundamentally, the soldiers of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces all look down on the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, and even use a war between barbarians and modern cultural people to compare this war.
This kind of concept also exists on the White Dragon, and has even dominated the thinking and emotions of every crew member.
However, what they didn't know was that when the White Dragon was passing through a crack in the seabed underwater, a pair of scarlet eyes the size of a house slowly opened under the crack.
