November 24, 2023, 15: 08.

B2 bunker in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea (the situation room of the Joint Command Control Center).

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Shin Sung-yong and other military chiefs and commanders were holding their breath as they watched the main screen in the center.

The screen displayed the current engagement status of the 7th Fleet and the Russian Far East Fleet in the Northeast Sea in various symbols and colors on its digital map.

The 100 red dots that appeared from the red triangle symbol representing the Far East fleet, flew in the direction of the blue triangle symbol representing the 7th fleet and vanished from the screen one by one until they completely vanished from the digital map after a short time.

“Alpha squadron intercepted at the right time, good timing.”

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Shin Sung-yong said while nodding his head. In response, Chief of Staff of the Aerospace Force Choi Jin-gook shrugged with an easy smile.

“The Alpha Squadron, which is currently conducting the satellite interception mission, is one of the anti-fighter force’s top five veterans. Lieutenant Colonel Choi Young-ho is in command of that Squadron.”

” Lieutenant Colonel Choi Young-ho? ”

“Yes, He is a pilot who received two medals for his service in the last Northeast Asian War.”

“It’s a familiar name........ Oh, I remember him now; is he the pilot who destroyed the Japanese Aegis ship using only Laser Vulcan?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hahaha, when did he make the transition from the Air Force to the Aerospace Force?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. All the talented people in our Air Force were taken away by the Aerospace Force. ”

The conversation was interrupted by Air Force Chief of Staff Kim Eun-ho.

“Chief of Staff Kim! What kind of depressing words are you saying? When did we take away your talented people? They all applied for the transfer because they wanted to... hahaha.”

“What? Are you really going to be like this, senior?”

“Did I say something wrong? Hahaha.”

Even in the midst of a naval battle with the Far East Fleet, which could have a significant impact on the future situation in Northeast Asia, the commanders of the Joint Command and Control Center were relaxed enough to laugh rather than worry. To that extent, the Joint Chiefs of Staff had long understood all of the Russian army’s movements and had put in place all necessary countermeasures.

“Just now, the 7th fleet fired an anti-ship missile at the Far Eastern Fleet.”

The voice of an operator wearing a lieutenant rank insignia resounded throughout the control room. The commanders ceased speaking, and their eyes were drawn to the main screen.

Fifty blue dots appeared from the blue triangle symbol and flew in the direction of the Far East fleet, drawing a line.

“What type of missile?”

“SSM-700S Haesung A missile.”

Following the operator’s report, missile information for each blue dot flying was displayed on the screen.

“Will the Far East be able to stop them all?”

When Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Shin Sung-yong patted his chin and asked, Chief of Naval Operations General Lee Ki-hyung replayed.

“I think the four Rider-class air defense cruisers outfitted with the S-500 stationary active AESA phased array radar will block about 80% of them.”

“80%, so you mean we have only 10 shots.”

“I think it will be less than 50%.”

General Lee Eun-hyeong, Chief of Army Staff, joined the conversation and stated his opinion as if they were betting on it.

“Heh heh, these people are acting as if they’re betting! Okay, I’ll keep watching. ”

With all the commanders eyes fixed on the main screen, the operators continued their reports.

“Two minutes and 58 seconds for the SSM-700S Haesong A Missile to reach the enemy fleet!”

“Enemy fleet launches intercepting anti-aircraft missiles.”

November 24, 2023, 1508,

East Sea at 43 ° north latitude 20 ‘136 ° 19 Tokyo 20.37′ 47.79 international waters (the Far East Fleet).

In the combat intelligence room of the second Rider-class ship Marshall Vasilyevsky (CGN-901), which is responsible for the whole air defense of the Far East Fleet, fire control officer Aleksandr Filimonov gave the instructions to intercept the supersonic anti-ship missiles that are currently flying toward them.

“Seeing! Provide 1 to 10 target settings! Specify the goal numbers 11 to 20 for the Spiridonov! Assign the Otchiyani with target numbers from 21 to 30! Allocate the Bezprisnis targets of 31 to 40! Set targets for Lazarev, Nakimov and Velikii from 41 to 49! Finally, Assign the last target number 50 to the Boyevoy! ”

The operators initiated the interception operation at the fire control officer’s commands. After all the interception procedures were completed, a white smoke with a roar from the Marshall Vasilyevsky vertical launching pad (CGN-901) came out due to the automated launch of the interception missiles.

Fifty S-300FM surface-to-air missiles with a range of 300 km pierced through the cloud and disappeared from view, leaving behind only thick smoke.

Thus, for now, all that left was to watch the screen impatiently in the combat intelligence room and eagerly wait for the enemy anti-ship missile symbol to disappear from it.

“One minute and ten seconds to the first target interception!”

“One minute and eight seconds to the second target interception!”

With the real-time report of the operator in charge of the interception situation, two colored lines were drawn and appeared on the screen in the combat intelligence room . He could just watch at leisure during their attack but now watching from defense position made him sweated a cold sweat.

“30 seconds to intercept the first target!”

The worried operator could speak only clearly and concisely as time went by.

“It’s crashing. three seconds! Two seconds! One second!

“Oh! failed to intercept the first target! The second target interception was successful! We successfully intercepted the third target! failed to intercept the fourth target! The intercept of the fifth, sixth, and seventh targets was successful! Intercept eighth and ninth targets failed! Successfully intercepted the tenth target! ”

The operator reported the results of the interception in a scream.

“Damn! Only 60% intercept rate ······. Check out the others!”

Combat Intelligence Commander Dmitry Sichov said as he pounded his fist against the wall, outraged by the low interception rate.

“Otchiyani! Intercepts of targets 23, 24, and 29 were failures. Bezprisnis! failed to intercept 31 and 33 targets! As for the rest, they failed to intercept targets 42, 44, and 49! As well as target 50! Thirteen interceptions were failed in total. ”

“One minute and five seconds to reach the main fleet!”

“Fire control officer, proceed with the second interception!”

As soon as the report was finished, the combat intelligence officer gave the commands to the Fire control officer while looking at him. Consequently, the fire control officer issued a second intercept order to the anti-aircraft defense ministers.

“The second interception mission has begun. The second interception is aimed at four targets for Ottschaini and five for Bezpritzni!”

“Target assignment complete!”

As soon as the fire control officer gave the order, white smoke from the three Rider-class cruisers again rose from the modified launch pad.

Coaaaaa~ Coaaaaa~ Coaaaaa~

The S-300FM surface-to-air missile, emitting a red light with white smoke, vanished through the clouds in an instant, and as soon as it arrived at the altitude takeover point, it immediately lowered its ridar and switched to sea skimming mode and fell at an astonishing speed toward the SSM-700S Haesong A missile that swooped across the ocean.

“Target number one is crashing! success! Target number one interception, success! Target number two ·····!”

With the operator’s report, the anti-ship missile symbols set as targets disappeared one by one from the screen.

“Intercept of targets five, eight, and fourteen failed!

“Confirm enemy missile targets!”

“number five and eight survived! Their goal ·····.”

“Be clear! Radar technician!”

“I’m sorry. Target 14 is headed toward Admiral Lazarev’s flagship. It is in the 1-8-9, direction at distance of 52 from the destination! Arriving in 44 seconds!”

The operator’s desperate scream rang out in the combat intelligence control room.

The three SSM-700S Haesung A missiles that survived the two interceptions began to approach their target steadily.

“What the hell! Damn! Switch to active defense system right now!”

“Change to a close defense system. Again, assign targets one, two, and three!”

“I’m launching a short-range missile.”

As the close defense system was activated, about 20 short-range missiles of various kinds roared into the sky as if they were competing.

Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh!

Two short-range OSA-MA (SA-N-4) anti-aircraft missiles left the launcher and flew off with white smoke.

Kwaang!

An explosion of colorful fireworks could be seen across the horizon. Only one SSM-700S Haesung A missile was intercepted by about 20 short-range missiles.

“Failed to intercept target number one! Successfully intercepted target number two! Failed to intercept target number three! From now on, every ship will activate its own Azark Railgun!”

“Oh! Both OSA-MA units failed the intercept! A five seconds left before target number one reach the main ship! Azac Railgun is activated.”.

At this time, a captain’s order came out.

“All Azark Railguns on this ship will be aimed at missile number one.”

“Captain, what about target number three?”

When the Combat Information Controller asked the captain, he received the same orders as before.

“The safety of this flagship ship comes first. This ship’s railgun should be aiming at tracking target number one unconditionally. ”

“Yes, sir.”

The captain and the crew of the combat information control room, who were listening to the communication, all looked at the combat information controller at the same time. The fire officer then asked cautiously.

“Combat controller! Are you really not going to assign a railgun to target number 3?”

“You, too, heard it! It’s the captain’s command. All of the railguns on this ship should be aimed at target number one to track it! In any case, other ships will take care of the third target. ”

The Marshall Vasilyevsky’s three Azark railguns (CGN-901) entrusted their fate to the other ships’ close defense systems to deal with target number three, and began tracking target number one, which was performing a pop-up maneuver to hit the bridge of the Far East Fleet’s flagship, the General Lazarev (CGN-181), and after tracking it, they sprayed metal bullets as fast as the speed of light.

Bababababang! Babababababang! Baba baba baba bang!

Dozens of light beams of metal bullets adorned the sky splendidly. The metal bullet, which flew at close to Mach 8, performed a pop-up maneuver and successfully intercepted target number one, which was aiming for Admiral Lazarev (CGSN-181).

Coooo!

Red flames spread out like a flower bud bursting out at 150m above the sky, and large and small fragments soared.

“Target number one! Successful intercept!”

Target number three, on the other hand, completed the pop-up maneuver and fell violently towards the Marshall Vasilyevsky (CGN-901).

“Function Port Shock Preparedness! Shock preparedness!”

The operator closed his eyes after shouting the last report as if he had given up.

Kwaang! Kwaang!

The Haesong SSM-700S A missile tore through the bowman’s armor and dug into it, penetrating to the hull’s core and causing a massive explosion.

Koo kung~ Koo wang!

As the bow flew away with the huge explosion, the red flames melted everything around it. Furthermore, the Marshall Vasilyevsky (CGN-901), whose function part was blown away, was slowly tilted forward and sunk into the sea.

“Report the damage!”

Captain Aleksandr Filimonov of the USS Marshall Vasilyevsky (CGN-901), who put the safety of the flagship before the safety of this ship, endured the rushing chest pain, and none of the crew immediately responded to the words that were uttered. After some time, a response came from the combat intelligence room.

<ul>

I’m a Combat intelligence officer. We’ve got a lot of injuries, and it is difficult to determine the exact number because it is dark inside.

</ul>

-This is the boatswain. The entire function is currently disabled and slowly leaning forward. Flooding is less of a concern than the internal damage that might be caused by the explosion of the missile mounted on the vertical launch pad. You must immediately give the order for evacuation.

-This is the engine room! There is no problem with the reactor, but many of the crew members are injured.

Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaang!

The damage report by the head of the engine was buried in a huge explosion. Huge explosions occurred one after another at the vertical launch pad of the bow, and then a huge flame engulfed the entire Marshall Vasilyevsky (CGN-901).

Then slowly disappeared into the sea.
