International waters, East Sea, 43° 20′ 20.37″ north 136° 19′ 47.79″ east (the location of the Far East fleet)

“This is a communication from the intelligence satellite indicating that the current course is in the 0-9-2 direction, the distance is 258 kilometers, and six watercraft from the seventh maneuver fleet are blocking the route of our main fleet in a transverse formation.”

“Has it not appeared on our radar yet?”

The fleet commander, who was reporting to Admiral Valerie Karpin, appeared embarrassed and hesitated before replying, “Well, it looks like it hasn’t been caught by our fleet radar yet.”

“This is not going to be an easy battle. Shouldn’t it be caught on the radar first so that we can decide whether or not to attack?”

Dagchi answered Admiral Valerie Karpin’s question by squeezing his head. “Now that the approximate location has been confirmed, if we reduce the distance a little more, it will be detected by our radar.”

“Oh, how many spy satellites are currently operating in the East Sea?”

“Three spy satellites were mobilized.”

“For God’s sake, if our radar can’t detect it until the end, we’re just going to be buried in this ocean. Ask the spy satellite to install a high-powered radar guidance link. How are we supposed to fight in such circumstances?”

“Yes, sir.”

“The stealth capabilities of the Corean Navy’s destroyers exceeded my imagination,” Admiral Valerie Karpin muttered to himself as he stared at the blank screen of the radar display linked from the combat information control office.

At the same time, the communications officer reported that a request for communications from the Corean Navy had been received.

“Open communicator!”

Shortly afterward, the voice of Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun of the 7th Maritime Task Flotilla resounded in the bridge of Admiral Lazarev (CGSN-181).

“Good morning. I’m Ahn Hyung Gyun, Captain of the 7th Maritime Task Flotilla.”

“Hello, I’m Valerie Karpin, Captain of the Far East Fleet.”

The two heads exchanged greetings via simultaneous interpretation.

“Currently, the Far East Fleet is approaching Hokkaido beyond international waters. Therefore, I will ask you politely, is it a simple training? Or is it an operation against Hokkaido?”

Admiral Valerie Karpin answered without hesitation when he received the direct question of Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun. Under the current situation, the battle with the Corean Navy was a foregone conclusion, thus there was nothing to hide.

“Under the command of my superiors, the Far East fleet is now conducting an amphibious operation in Hokkaido.”

“Japanese territories, including Hokkaido, are currently protected by the Corean military, under the Corea-Japan Treaty.”

“Yes, we are aware of that.”

“We can then conclude that the Far East Fleet’s voyage is an illegal military action and we will respond accordingly.”

“Hahaha, respond... If you want to do so, there is nothing we can do. We will also respond accordingly.”

“Yes, I understand what you mean. Admiral Valerie Karpin, good luck.”

“Thank you. Have a nice day.”

Ahead of a massive naval battle, when the conversation ended with gentle greetings from the two admirals, the Far East Fleet operator reported, “Rough detection has been made with the spy satellite and the data is linked to our fleet’s radar.”

Hearing this, Admiral Valerie Karpin turned to the radar display where six red spots were flashing at sea, 251 kilometers away from the Far East fleet.

“Do you want to order an attack?” Fleet Operations Commander Colonel Alexander Kerzakov asked.

The crew of the fleet had been waiting for Admiral Valerie Karpin’s orders for a long time after switching to combat positions.

Admiral Valerie Karpin, who was looking out the bridge window at the horizon toward the Seventh Wing, asked the captain next to him, “What do you think the outcome of this fight will be?”

“Even though they surpassed the American Aegis destroyers in terms of performance, there are only six of them. So, if we attack early with a sufficient number of missiles, it will be a simple mission.”

Currently, the Far East Fleet had the capability of launching over 1,000 supersonic anti-ship missiles. It was an unimaginable number.

“Do you think so?”

“Yes, we could launch 200 supersonic anti-ship missiles.”

“That’s what you think.”

“What? Then, what do you think, Admiral?”

“Oh, I think you are right.”

Admiral Valerie Karpin, who had been worried since sailing from Vladivostok, closed his eyes for a moment to think and then instructed the operational officer, “Assign targets 1 to 6! Prepare to launch 20 supersonic and ten hypersonic anti-ship missiles at each target!”

Before the fighting, Admiral Valerie Karpin gathered and analyzed a large amount of information about the Corean Navy, particularly the Seventh Wing Fleet. The Hocula operated as an unknown system, and he had no choice but to be amazed by the performance of the 7th Maritime Task Flotilla, which had destroyed more than 100 Chinese anti-ship troops as well as Japanese guards during the Northeast Asian War. The destroyer of the 7th Flyer, according to the analysis, was not an easy target.

Despite this inconvenience, Admiral Valerie Karpin had to carry out his duties as a Russian Navy admiral regardless of the outcome of the battle.

Cooooooooing~ Cooing~ Cooing~

As soon as the attack orders had been delivered, dozens of white smoke trails soared into the sky with a tremendous roar from the launch pad on both sides of the Kirov-class battlecruiser of the Far East fleet. They were long-range hypersonic anti-ship missiles called the P-800 Onyx missiles.

In addition, Rider-class cruisers, Sobremenny-class destroyers, and Udaloi-class destroyers also fired P-700 Granit supersonic anti-ship missiles at their designated targets.

The 100 white smoke trails that shot into the sky in an instant broke through the altitude cut-off point, gradually lowered their altitude, and entered the sea-skimming mode.

International waters, East Sea at 43° 1′ 17.06″ north, 139° 23′ 53.69″ east (the location of the 7th Maritime Task Flotilla).

Beep! Beep! Beep!

“Currently, the Far East Fleet has launched 120 supersonic anti-ship missiles and 60 hypersonic anti-ship missiles, for a total of 180! The missiles have entered Sea Skimming Mode and are en route to the main ship. Anti-ship hypersonic missiles will arrive in 2 minutes and 19 seconds! Supersonic anti-ship missiles will arrive in 3 minutes and 16 seconds!”

“Activate the automatic interception system!” Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun maintained his composure and gave instructions to defend against this ignorant anti-ship missile attack.

“180 intercept targets set in the Hocula system to intercept target’s automatic order.”

On the large screen of the combat command room, intercept numbers were sequentially followed by red dots flying rapidly toward the 7th Maritime Task Flotilla. In addition, the radar detector informed the arrival time in real-time.

“Hypersonic missiles will arrive in two minutes and two seconds! Supersonic anti-ship missiles will arrive in two minutes and 59 seconds!”

“We only have one minute before the first shot is intercepted. What is the status of the Aerospace Forces?” Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun, who was focusing his attention on the big screen, turned his head and asked the correspondence officer.

“At the moment, we have prepared all interception preparations and we are ready.”

“Good! We’ll save our missiles!”

In modern times, the standard method of engagement in fleet warfare is to launch anti-ship missiles and then intercept the enemy’s launched missiles. Even though anti-ship missiles were apparently heading towards them, the 7th Maritime Task Flotilla remained silent and did not fire retaliatory anti-ship missiles or intercept anti-aircraft missiles.

East Sea, 325km the air.

Shoooooosh!

Two CFS/A-31SP Three-toed Crow space fighters flew at Mach 20 in pursuit of something emitting black light.

The true identity of the black light was Bars-M 3, a spy satellite known as the Russian eye that Russia had launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in 2015. Russia currently operated a total of 12 Bars-M spy satellites that performed reconnaissance missions at an altitude of 350 kilometers above the Earth.

The Republic of Corea Aerospace Forces discovered a few days ago that three Bars-M spy satellites were passing over the Northeast Sea 18 times per day after changing their orbits toward the region. Thus, for the past 24 hours, the Three-toed Crow space fighter flew in the exosphere of the Northeast Sea to precisely determine the orbit of the Bars-M spy satellites and when they passed over the sea.

As the battle between the 7th Maritime Task Flotilla and the Far East Fleet began in the Northeast Sea, the two CFS/A-31SP Three-toed Crow space fighters belonging to the Alpha Squadron were following the Bars-M 3 at great speed and they were ready to intercept Bars-M 3 at any time after receiving the orders.

“What about laser power?” Lieutenant Colonel Choi Young-ho, Alpha One pilot, asked Captain Cho Eun-bin, the avionics operation controller, who was sitting in the back seat.

“There is no issue, the current laser output state is 100%.”

“This is Alpha One! Alpha Two, check the situation!”

“This is Alpha Two, ready for target pursuit and intercept procedures without any problems,” a reply came from Alpha Two, which was 20 km away from Alpha One.

“Great! The intercept will begin immediately after the intercept command is issued. It’s a race against time, so make sure to not make any mistakes.”

“Yes, I got it.”

During this communication, an order to intercept was issued from the control tower of the 1st Space Fighter Wing’s Seongnam Base. “This is the headquarters! Hit the target immediately! Hit the target!”

“This is Alpha One! Order accepted! Fire!”

The two Three-toed Crow fighters fired 50mm laser cannons without any hesitation in response to the orders. The red laser instantly penetrated the Bars-M 3, shattering it with an explosion and turning it into space garbage.

“This is Alpha One! Target hit completed!”

The two Three-toed Crow space fighters flew by quickly and then directed their focus to another Russian spy satellite, Bars-M 6, which was attempting to enter space.

International waters, East Sea at 43° 20′ 20.37″ north, 136° 19′ 47.79″ east (the location of the Far East Fleet)

The radar operator of the General Lazarev (CGSN-181) screamed and reported when the Bars-M 3, which was linked to the Far East Fleet radar as guidance to detect the 7th Maritime Task Flotilla, exploded, resulting in data cut off, “Aaak! Target information has disappeared!”

“What do you mean, the target information is gone?” the combat information controller, who had dashed towards the radar console in response to the sudden report, was taken aback by the clear, blank display.

“What about the missiles?”

“They lost sight of our current goal and hence resorted to self-destruction procedures.”

If it was a normal destroyer, the anti-ship missiles would have their own active radar that allowed them to sufficiently fly to and strike the target, but it was impossible to hit the Hocula destroyer because it was equipped with the stealth-type ultra-strong SECM (Radio Disruption System).

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

180 supersonic and hypersonic anti-ship missiles changed their route as they self-destructed and fell into the sea with only one minute left before they reached their target.

The bridge of Admiral Lazarev (CGSN-181), which received such a report from the Combat Information Center, was in great shock.

“What the hell happened?” Captain Marat Izmailov asked directly through the communication network.

<ul>

There seems to be a problem with Bars-M 3, which was linked to the radar.

</ul>

“Bars-M 3?”

-Yes, even though we are still trying to connect to it, we couldn’t.

The Far East fleet crew, who were unaware that the Bars-M 3 had been intercepted by the Alpha Squadron, were frustrated.

“When will the next satellite enter the Northeast Sea?” Admiral Valerie Karpin, who was listening next to them, asked.

<ul>

In the next 10 minutes.

</ul>

“After 10 minutes? Huh, then we’re stuck in a situation where we can’t attack for more than ten minutes.”

At that moment, an operator reported another shocking report, “Admiral! 50 unidentified missiles confirmed! 3 minutes and 18 seconds to reach! Ah, they seem to be supersonic anti-ship missiles launched by the 7th Maritime Task Flotilla.”

The bridge crew was once again frozen by the report.
