And developed modern information... The war is no longer mysterious. Compared with Tian many years ago, similar bombing operations have completely different effects. Tian many years ago, the bombers that took off from Ascension Island dropped several tons of bombs on the Matsushima. Without killing several Afghan troops, the British who had not yet woken up from the shock were excited, as if victory was at hand. Now, the fighter jets that took off from Ascension Island threw several missiles on the Matsushima. When the Argentina army's only supply system was paralyzed, the furious British calmed down. They did not think that this bombing operation could end the war early.

In the eyes of many British people, what really benefits are not the United Kingdom of Great Britain, but the United States on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

The reason is very simple. The heart fighter and old cruise missiles that bombed the Horse Island are both "American goods"

In fact, the most exciting thing is the United States, to be precise, the American arms group represented by Lockheed Martin.

You should know that this is the first time since the Japanese Air Force, which is mainly American equipment, has been ravaged by the Republic Air Force in the East China Sea War. Although the Royal Air Force's fighter jets did not encounter Argentine Air Force fighter jets, and the Argentine army that landed did not deploy air defense systems, in the propaganda of the US news media, it was not a aviation control center, but an Argentine army armed with Chinese equipment, or the entire Chinese equipment system.

Reports from the American news media are largely "saving" American arms companies.

In the Indian War, the Indian army's defeat made the American arms companies the biggest victim. To be fair, the quality of "US equipment" is not bad. Even the criticized 4-scraper fighter jets are still a very advanced fighter jet as long as they are used properly. The main reason for the Indian army's defeat is that it has not been systematic and it is impossible to confront first-class military powers with just a few advanced weapons. In fact, let alone the Indian War, the Gulf War in the early 1900s proved that without systematic combat power, no matter how advanced weapons are, there is no place to use it. The problem is that those "big guys" who need to purchase weapons and equipment from other countries do not care about these, just like Saudi Arabia in the early 1900s, Iran in the old era, and Sudan in the strong era have discovered the world.

The third largest rare metal mine became rich overnight, and Indonesia, which just emerged, was discovered in the early days of Sumatra, Sulawesi, Seran Island and the Bird Peninsula, all of which were found to be the performance of weapons and equipment on the battlefield. It is precisely because of this that since the old year of the Blade, American arms companies have encountered the comprehensive challenge of the Republic's arms companies, and their days are getting worse day by day. By the "post-Indian War Era", the United States' share in the international arms market fell sharply, not to mention confronting the Republic, it was even surpassed by Russia for a time. In the words of the American news media, if the international image of "US equipment" cannot be changed within the year, the United States will lose two-thirds of the arms market. More than half of the arms companies will be declared bankrupt.

The United States will never give up on the "legitimate industry" with the highest profit margins

In fact, since the past few years, American arms companies have been looking for a way out, but they have encountered big trouble every time. For fighter jets, which are known as the "military commanding heights", as a "maturity power", the United States has no reason to develop three fifth-generation fighter jets at the same time. Instead, it should concentrate its efforts on developing two fifth-generation fighter jets for the Air Force and Navy aviation like the Republic. The US Air Force and the Navy have once again split their paths, not that they do not want to jointly develop fighter jets, nor that they are twin.

The performance indicators of the square are too different, but the technology is not enough. When developing fish, the US Navy expressed great interest and hoped to develop heavy fighter jets suitable for the navy on this basis. After a comprehensive evaluation, Lockheed Martial Arts believes that if the needs of the navy are taken into account, the average air weight will be increased enough, so that the needs of the air force cannot be met. Under the basic requirements of meeting the needs of the air force and the navy, the development progress of the cylinder will be greatly delayed and it will definitely not be mass-produced before the year.

In this way, the US Air Force firmly opposes the joint development of Huiao with the Navy. Considering that the 22 series of fighters has been seriously behind, the US Congress stood on the side of the Air Force and stated that it would first meet the Air Force's requirements and then consider developing heavy fighters separately for the Navy. In fact, because the development funds of the many people have repeatedly exceeded the standard, the expenses allocated to the Navy are very limited, and the development of two fighters cannot be supported at the same time. The Navy had to settle for the second best, and made a start on the basis of Boeing's unreliable basis. In the end,

It became the first. Because it was a very "mature" model, it was defeated by the ugly fighter jets in the Wu series of fighters. Later, it was developed in depth according to Japan's needs and developed from light fighters to medium fighters. It was just because Japan and the United States were separated and failed to complete the design work. Therefore, it was completed in just three years and started mass production earlier than the simmer. As it turned out, the first was an ideal multi-purpose fighter jet, not a real air-control fighter jet.

It was affected by the poor performance of Shi Si in the Indian War that the United States encountered great trouble when promoting the preparation. Although before the formalization, Sao Tun was called a star and continued to participate in air show of various countries to increase its popularity, the United States has long since the Congress released advanced fighters as comparable to Shi, so it would not be like the original: Lan Export. Limiting the export of 40s, as long as it is not the potential Sichuan-2 of the United States, it can introduce 4-concave fighters, and even purchase production patents. However, until the end of the West, except for the US Air Force and the Royal Air Force, no third buyer was found. It is undeniable that the market for heavy air combat fighters is not large, because few countries have the ability to purchase extremely expensive heavy fighters, and few countries have considerable military strength. However, as the most profitable arms, heavy fighters are not only a powerful tool for making money, but also a symbol of national influence.

What the United States cannot stand the most is that the buyers who gave up the cylinders have been invested in the arms of the Republic without exception. By the end of the year, in addition to Pakistan, a dozen other potential users of Malaysia and Indonesia, including potential users of many heavy fighters, expressed their purchase, saying that the performance of minimization and reduction of concave is equal to the same as the manufacturing cost, and the sales of concave at twice the price of 4 concave means that the Republic's arms dealers can make more profits, and can invest more research and development funds when developing the next generation of fighters, and widen the distance with the American arms dealers.

To a certain extent, if the United States cannot open up the international arms market as soon as possible, the result will definitely not be as simple as half of the arms companies going bankrupt

Although the arms industry is recognized as the second largest profitable industry after drugs, there is an unwritten rule in the arms industry, that is, "losses inside the dike and compensation outside the dike." Simply put, it is to use the huge profits obtained from exports to subsidize the losses of domestic sales. For example, the purchase price of the old series of fighter jets that were popular all over the world in the 20th century was only a few million US dollars, and the export price was at least 20,000 US dollars, and the highest was close to the thugs. It was precisely because of the export of thousands that the US Air Force purchased many old ones. This game rule determines that the arms industry is not a complete one.

The fully market-oriented industry also determines the overall development trend of the arms industry, that is, the stronger the stronger the weaker the weaker. In history, similar examples are not uncommon. For example, when the "Phantom" series of fighters created one miracle after another, Dassault was the only arms dealer who could challenge the arms companies of the superpowers. However, after falling on the "Ravel" fighter, Dassault was in a slump and never entered the international fighter market again. Similar examples include the Russian MiG fighter company, Sweden's Saber Fighter Company, and European United Fighter Company.

Based on the actual situation, it is not difficult to find that if you lose this round of competition, the arms companies in American counties will not go abroad.

That's exactly that. In the case of a small slaughter of the Royal Air Force, Lockheed Martial Arts, as if it had seized a life-saving straw, not only used the news media to build momentum, but also claimed in an extremely high-profile manner that it was generally the first fighter in the world that could launch a fatal blow to targets four thousand meters away. Of course, Lockheed Martial Arts would never mention that "Frozen 4 Concave not only carried an ultra-large secondary fuel tank during takeoff, but also received two air refueling during the operation. Under the same circumstances, the strike radius of the small thug was not four thousand meters, but the strong kilometer.

The so-called laymen watch the excitement, while the expert watches the tricks.

While military fans were still arguing about their performance, military experts had turned their attention to the real purpose of the Royal Air Force.

In the evening of the 10,000 Islamabad time, equivalent to noon in London or early in Buenos Aires, Major General Liang Guoxiang, who served as the commander of the South Asian theater of the Republic, mentioned in an interview with Al Jazeera that the Royal Air Force dispatched all heavy fighters to bomb the Madao Airport, not to show the existence of the Royal Air Force, nor to advertise for American arms dealers, but to force Argentina into a dead end and force the opponent to open a maritime channel as soon as possible. Liang Guoxiang also emphasized that if Argentina did not send a fleet immediately, but decided to repair the airport, the British Royal Air Force would definitely dispatch again, completely paralyzing the Madao Airport, forcing the opponent to give up the air supply line

Liang Guoxiang is not the only one who holds this view.

The Chief of Staff of the US Air Force revealed to reporters in private that the RAF's combat operations were creating opportunities for the Royal Navy, and more importantly, the battle was about to break out. Although there is no evidence that the US Air Force Chief of Staff has mastered the combat operations of the Yanjia Navy, there are sufficient reasons to believe that in order to obtain support from the United States, especially intelligence, the UK will promptly inform the combat arrangements.

After understanding the intentions of the Royal Air Force, it is not difficult to see the British military deployment.

The question now is. How will Argentina respond?

At noon on the 10th day, the Buenos Aires time passed, and a fleet of six fast transport ships and frigates left Mar del Plata and embarked on the journey to the island of Cambodia.

Now, it is not difficult to understand what the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force said

Although compared with the previous transport fleet, the escort force this time is much weaker, and the frigates are all offshore frigates with less displacement. The anti-submarine capabilities are obvious. Because there is no use of multiple tumble and destruction ships, the air defense capabilities are also weak, but international public opinion has completely different opinions on the fate of this transport fleet. Almost all news media believe that it is difficult for the British Royal Navy to block the transport fleet outside the waters of the Cavaliers Island like last time. Some news media even believe that the ideal way is not to move out of the navy, but to dispatch heavy fighter jets deployed on Ascension Island like bombing the Cavaliers Island and use anti-ship missiles to deal with transport ships.

Is it possible to use it to deal with the transport fleet?

Regardless of whether the combat radius of Ye is enough, the fleet headed south from Mar del Plata and was within the cover of the shore-based aviation force. The Argentine Air Force suffered a loss and would definitely be prepared. Unless the Royal Air Force believed the advertisement made by Lockheed Martin and believed that the 4-concave was an omnipotent fighter aircraft, it would not have taken such stupid actions. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Argentine Air Force had enough determination, it could use the small and small old and small old interceptions of more than the old, and use the huge quantity advantage to make up for the not-so-large performance gap.

From another perspective, I'm afraid the US authorities will not recommend the Royal Air Force to take risky actions.

From a tactical perspective, the Taiwan of the Royal Air Force is not able to intercept the transport fleet, because providing two air refueling for the port fighter aircraft will occupy all the aviation resources of Ascension Island. The Royal Air Force is unable to deploy support aircraft to the front line, so it is impossible to send early warning aircraft and patrol aircraft to find the Argentine fleet. It is not even clear where the target is, so how can we talk about attacking the target?

The only submarines of the Royal Navy are able to intercept the Argentine fleet.

There is no doubt that not many people are optimistic about British submarines.

Although the British authorities did not announce the specific situation of the Royal Navy submarine force, nor did they disclose any news about the "missing" attack submarines, there was no airtight wall in the world. After the Royal Navy announced the specific situation of the task force, some people boldly predicted that the Royal Navy must have lost several submarines in the battle to intercept the Argentine fleet, otherwise there would not be a submarine on the task force's ship list.

Based on this information and Bi's reports, some military enthusiasts have made an analysis. If Bi's reports are not distorted, the Royal Navy has lost the submarines. With only 8 attack submarines, the Royal Navy must make adjustments to the deployment of submarines; first ensure that the task force is provided with 2 to 3 attack submarines. The remaining 3 to 4 submarines can be used to strengthen the task force's anti-submarine power, and can also be used to perform free hunting missions; because the threat of the Argentine Navy is very limited, its fully electric submarines are difficult to move north of the mid-Atlantic line, and there is no need to arrange too many submarines to follow the task force south, so 3 to 4, or even more attack submarines can be deployed to the South Atlantic in advance.

In other words, when the Royal Air Force bombed the Cavalier Islands, the Royal Navy's submarines were already there.

Although the submarines of the Royal British Navy are very advanced and have the ability of the motherland to defeat the Argentine Navy, no one can ignore an uncertain factor, namely whether the Republic will secretly help Argentina. Even in the eyes of most people, the Republic has no reason to directly intervene in the British-Ama conflict, as long as the Republic is willing, it can change the situation at any time and make the British Royal Navy, which has the advantage. After reporting the news of the disappearance of British submarines, many people believe that the one who sinks the British submarine is definitely not the Argentine Navy's electric submarine, but the attack submarine of the Republic's Navy, and may even be the most advanced attack submarine in the world. If so, the British Royal Navy will find it difficult to gain advantage in the underwater battle in the South Atlantic.

More importantly, the Argentine authorities sent a second-leading fleet to show their confidence in capturing the Cabernet Island.

From another perspective, there is even reason to believe that the real purpose of the Argentine fleet is not to transport combat materials to the Castellar Island, but to lead out British submarines lurking near the Castellar Island to lay the foundation for future countermeasures. You must know that even if Argentina eliminates the British army on the Castellar Island, it will have to face a powerful task force. Although the Argentine Air Force is the main force in attacking the task force, at a critical moment, the Argentine Navy will definitely play its unexpected role and can even determine the fate of the British task force.

If so, Argentina has enough reason to trade fleets for British submarines.

Besides, hasn’t the Argentine Navy done it once? We used whips to escort the warships and the broken electric submarines to exchange the British Navy’s attack submarines. Even if the cost was too high, from the entire battle situation, the Argentine Navy still picked up the cheaper ones. If the same trick repeats itself and use a second transport fleet to exchange for breaking, even three British submarines, the result will be extremely unfavorable to the Royal Navy. In high-risk situations, in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier, at least two times the number of submarines is needed. In other words, the British task force needs at least an attack submarine. With the addition of the "Revenge", six attack submarines are needed. Excluding the two attack submarines that cover strategic submarines, the British Royal Navy can only look at the attack submarines to be mobilized, and any losses will weaken the anti-submarine power of the task force.

The question is, can the Rangentine transport fleet arrive on the island of Cabernet?

The answer is no, otherwise the Royal Navy would not intercept the First Concubine fleet
