Chapter 742 Multifunctional Destroyer Sea Trial
Among the countries in the Middle East, a large-scale formation of surface ships maintains a normal sailing state in the Persian Gulf. In the sky, there are also two invader fighter jets flying around the fleet. Not far away, an early warning aircraft It is also quietly cruising around the fleet.
Such a battle was not aimed at anyone, it was just a routine air protection for Cai Ruichen and the fleet.
Otherwise, it would not be two intruders coming over, but a group of large-scale combat aircraft.
The Persian Gulf is not a peaceful place, and this is not the first time a multi-purpose destroyer has undergone sea trials, but after a simple sea trial, it is the first time to sail in formation with sea scorpions. Communication and combat systems, conduct related tests.
Naturally, this kind of test cannot be disclosed to the public. The United States is naturally aware that the Future Technology Group is having an advanced destroyer undergoing sea trials, and it has notified the United States several months ago.
In this regard, the Americans did not show too much curiosity. Perhaps in the eyes of the United States, the navies of both sides have formed an alliance, and some have the opportunity to learn about this type of warship. There is no need to worry now.
The calm United States and the calm Fifth Fleet, of course, there are also countries that are not calm, and Iran is one of them.
In fact, Iran has always maintained a good impression of Future Technology Group, especially during the war between Future Technology Group and Israel, it has always cooperated with Future Technology Group.
It's just that as the future technology group and the United States are getting closer, the two parties who have never communicated with each other have naturally begun to distance themselves.
In particular, the Future Technology Group is by Iran's side. Whether it is the Air Force or the Iraqi National Defense Force trained, they are all world-class troops.
This makes Iran, which has always wanted to become a regional power, naturally unable to sit still.
Iran is currently the only country in the Middle East that has its own defense industry system. It can develop and imitate many rather advanced weapons and equipment. Its influence in the Middle East is increasing day by day.
In terms of the Caspian Sea, Iran is cooperating very closely with Russia. This cooperation includes the maritime defense and defense-depth construction of the Caspian Sea.
In the Persian Gulf, Iran has been monitoring the US Fifth Fleet for a long time. Almost every time the US Fifth Fleet enters and exits the Persian Gulf, it is under Iran's surveillance.
Iran has also been rehearsing wolf pack tactics, using small, fast missile boats to attack large US warships.
After all, compared with large surface combat ships, Iran has almost zero advantage and zero competitiveness in this regard. It can only conduct wolves on the surface and underwater, and compete with the US Navy in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea.
The USS Truman aircraft carrier of the US Fifth Fleet returned to the United States for an overhaul and may not be redeployed to the Middle East in the future.
This made Iran feel a lot easier. After all, the combat effectiveness of a super aircraft carrier is very terrifying.
It's just that this feeling didn't last long, and the sea power of the United States and the Future Technology Group formally formed an alliance.
Future Technology Group took out four sea scorpions in one breath. This matter was originally a big event in the Middle East.
Seeing the shape of the sea scorpions, as well as the various advanced weapons and stealth capabilities above, the Iranian government was also very excited for a while. When they were discussing whether to buy a few sea scorpions, they heard the news of the alliance.
This made the Iranian government suddenly feel helpless, because they had nothing to do with such an alliance.
After all, it is impossible for Iran to really do anything to Future Technology Group,
Iran also does not want to face Saudi Arabia and Israel in the Middle East, and while still wary of the Americans, it also needs to have one more opponent who does not seem to be easy to provoke.
Fortunately, the alliance between the Future Technology Group and the United States is not a real military alliance. It is at most a paramilitary alliance, and it is more about security escort and anti-terrorism in international waters.
This is not much harm to Iran, but Iran cannot guarantee that such an alliance will not go further.
We must know that the United States is currently wooing countries that can be wooed around the world. India is one of them. Even Vietnam, once the sad place of the United States, is being wooed by the United States.
In the Middle East, the United States has always been strengthening its relationship with Saudi Arabia, especially when reducing its military power in the Middle East, this kind of wooing becomes more clear.
From Iran's point of view, although the United States is a strategic thing, it seems that it is indeed encircling the Far East, and wooing India is also to fully contain the rising dragon in the East.
But in fact, the United States also has a plan to kill two birds with one stone. To the northwest of India is the Middle East, to the west coast is the Persian Gulf, and to the southwest is the Gulf of Aden. It can fully guard the Arabian Sea and southward to control the entire Indian Ocean.
To win over India, the United States still wants to completely control the situation in the Middle East after its strategy has shifted eastward, but this kind of control has changed from relying solely on the United States' own military power in the past to pulling together a group of quasi-allies to carry out together.
It seems that the United States is now trying its best to promote the formation of a military alliance among Japan, Australia, India, and the Philippines.
Although India is a non-aligned country, in fact, it has established a paramilitary alliance with the United States over the years, and there is not much difference from a real alliance.
The Iranian side is naturally just looking at things in the Far East, but here in the Middle East, it has a lot to do with it.
Iran, which is bound to become a regional power in the Middle East, naturally needs a certain space for interests and development, and the depth of strategic defense is even more needed.
But the United States is now blocking Iran to death, only the Caspian Sea, Iran can still face Russia, and everything else is in vain.
Originally, the emergence of the Future Technology Group allowed Iran to see a slight opportunity. Unfortunately, the opportunity was quickly shattered by the facts.
The combination of the United States and the Future Technology Group has put a lot of pressure on Iran, especially the Air Force of the Future Technology Group, which is considered to be powerful in the Middle East. Several warships were launched.
In the field of air force and navy, the Iranians have always been the weakest place.
Especially this time, after the Future Technology Group launched a modern destroyer with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons and a displacement of nearly 7,000 tons, the Iranians couldn't sit still.
When the multi-functional destroyer is conducting sea trials in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea, once Iran finds an opportunity, it will find a way to approach it for monitoring and tracking.
