702 Invincible aircraft carrier's mourning
The flying fish from China was blown away by the Iranians, but it did not show any remarkable performance on the battlefield between Iran.
Colonel Ag didn't have much confidence in these huge missiles.
In particular, these missiles come from China.
Although China is a big country, China's weapons and equipment are really not very good. Of course, except for those cheap light weapons and ammunition.
There is no way now.
Originally, the Navy was preparing to purchase the Am-39 anti-ship missile from the French, but the Iranians also negotiated in France at that time. In the end, because the French asked for a price too high, it really exceeded their imagination. In the end, the Iranians gave up the purchase and found Navy Commander Huo Hei. Anaya promoted the anti-ship missiles they had purchased from China.
Although the performance parameters of these missiles are not much worse than those of the French Am-39, and the price is not much cheaper. In the end, the navy commander was moved.
20 were purchased for $2.3 million each, and the Iranians gave away 5 for this. The average price of each was reduced to $1.84 million. In the end, the Iranians also found some mysterious people to help modify it so that these missiles could be launched from the super military flag.
However, it only has a range of 50 kilometers, which makes them very painful.
Because of this, they were unable to participate in the naval battle a few days ago. They were always intercepted by British fighter jets outside the range of fifty kilometers.
However, there is no way now.
If the war cannot be won, the entire Argentine government will be ruined.
As the most hard-core supporter of President Galtieri, Agh feels that he must succeed in one fell swoop.
He did not allow all warships to be mounted with anti-ship missiles from China as required by the commander. Instead, he ordered five super flags to carry two, and the other ten were mounted with air-to-air missiles. Once he encountered interception by enemy fighters, he used the ten fighters to attract the enemy's firepower, and these five were looking for opportunities to kill two of the most advanced large warships in Britain.
As long as you kill it, the war will basically end!
"All units pay attention. All units pay attention. Maintain the current flight status, fly 30 meters above the sea surface, and avoid the radar on enemy warships..." Age still has research on naval aviation combat. When fighters fly close to sea level, since the earth is round, it is difficult for radars above the sea level to find far-reaching targets.
Neptune reconnaissance aircraft has always been observing the traces of the Invincible aircraft carrier and the Sheffield destroyer. British reconnaissance aircraft took off from time to time, but they did not notice that fifteen French-made fighter jets were flying at high speed two hundred nautical miles away near the sea surface.
Not to mention that it is impossible to see the naked eye so far, even the radar cannot detect it.
Whether it is the Argentina's navy or the air force, it basically disappeared after the naval battle and never appeared.
After completing routine patrols, the two Sea Harrier fighters began to return to the aircraft carrier behind.
The fighter jet formation led by Ag formed a herringbone arrow attacking formation. He served as the head aircraft at the front. After entering two hundred nautical miles, he turned off the radio communication device and kept the radio flying silently. All flight operations were observed by the pilot's naked eyes.
They had to approach the British warships as much as possible, and then aim the eggs under the wings of the fighter planes in the direction of the warships in the distance.
No need to observe the results. They can return!
"All units should pay attention to it. Now there are still one hundred kilometers away from the enemy warships. From now on, the formation will remain radio silent. Please pay attention to my movements when intercepting the formation, move my wings to the left and set off; during the attack, remember to follow me to the right. We have 30 seconds to turn on the radar and lock the enemy warships, and then quickly lower the fighter planes and return..."
When there was still a hundred kilometers away, Age completed the order to complete the entire formation and continued to fly towards the front at a low altitude.
The other fighter planes were staring at the movements of the long planes.
After a long period of training, they are the most elite pilots. All fifteen super military flags maintain almost the same flight speed and consistent flight trajectory.
Fifty kilometers away from the front fleet, Ag quickly climbed upwards, and the other super military flags with flying fish missiles staring at him also climbed into the air.
During the climb, they began to turn on the radar and reached a 150-meter-long spot above. They had completed the search and locked two huge warships, and then quickly lowered them.
The pilots of the multi-fighter jets who were about to intercept the planes were staring at the distant sky. Once they saw the British fighter jets, they would rush up without hesitation.
However, no.
"Report, the northern radar sentry ship Glasgow missile destroyer discovered the Argentinian super flag jumping signal..." Inside the fleet air defense command post on the USS Invincible aircraft carrier, the communications officer reported to the bosses of the air defense command post.
"What jump signal? They also told us in the morning, which made our entire fleet nervous. The commander scolded us and now he came again. Are these bastards too bored?" said the colonel of the Air Defense Command very annoyed.
The commander was very annoyed by the lazy style and proud attitude of the entire fleet.
The false alarm in the morning made the entire fleet extremely nervous. As a result, they were mobilized and found that it was just a false alarm.
Especially at noon, these bastards misreported again because they were bored...
Now, this is the third time.
"Col. It's time for war!" The communications officer reminded the colonel.
"Ask if the Sheffield ahead has noticed it?" The colonel's mouth twitched, and he was very dissatisfied. After giving the order, he lit a cigar again.
Sheffield is the most advanced destroyer of the Royal Navy, and everything on it is the best.
With the Sheffield in front, there is no need to worry about being attacked. Besides, the radar stations on the aircraft carrier did not react at all. No one was detected from fifty kilometers away! The aircraft patrolling above did not issue an alarm!
"Report, no! Sheffield is connecting with satellites, and the radar is not turned on..."
"Have you discovered the Yarmouth next to you?" Although it may be a false alarm, you must be careful during the war!
"Wuwu..." Before the communications officer could ask about the situation, a shrill air defense alarm sounded outside.
"Enemy attack! Fighter planes take off and intercept!" Hearing the air defense alarm, the cigar from the colonel of the air defense command post fell off immediately.
I haven't seen the situation outside yet, so I can only issue such commands.
Without waiting for instructions, the deck began to get busy. Two fighter planes that were just about to land rose up in a flash and headed towards a group of small black dots that appeared in the distance in the sky!
That's Argentina's fighter jet!
This time it's not a false alarm!
Once the Invincible aircraft carrier is attacked, no one knows what the consequences will be.
The whole of Britain could not bear such consequences.
The entire task force could not bear it either!
No one dares to think about this consequence.
"Start the jamming cloud, air defense firepower preparation..."
The Invincible became busy, the Sheffield became busy, and even the Yarmouth next to it became busy.
The anti-aircraft machine gun, anti-aircraft machine gun, and anti-aircraft missile launchers all started to move.
"Start, two small ones next to them, and the rest are all heading towards the Invincible!" At this moment, he didn't care about his whereabouts. He was less than twenty kilometers away from the front, so MiG asked the fighter jets behind to take off to attract the other party's attention. At the same time, he also began to take several fighter jets carrying anti-ship missiles behind him, quickly turned on the radar, and locked the most huge Invincible aircraft carrier.
After locking, the launch button was quickly pressed, and the two huge anti-ship missiles under the wings of the Super Military Flag were painted in white, and two huge anti-ship missiles with the words C801 were painted in black, falling from behind the hanger on the wings. Without a few meters of landing, the engine on the butt began to ignite. Under the push of the engine, the huge missile began to rush out toward the front, leaving a white track.
As we flew forward for hundreds of meters, the missile quickly descended, reaching a position less than twenty meters away from the sea surface, and began to change its flight trajectory up and down, high and low...
Each transformation takes less than a second.
At the same time, several missiles flew towards the huge warships in the distance...
"Missile attack!"
"Dadada..." The air-resistant machine gun sprayed flames at the missile flying from afar. Even if the distance was very far, no one could take it into consideration.
During World War II, many aircraft carriers sank, but after World War II, it was even more impossible.
The pride of the Royal Navy of the British Empire cannot lose its glory in their hands.
"Boom boom boom..." The anti-aircraft cannon also opened fire.
On the Invincible aircraft carrier, the ground crew and the pilot were preparing quickly and nervously. Although the exercises have been experienced countless times, the actual combat is not as easy as the exercises. So far, only three fighter jets have taken off.
Other fighter jets are still preparing!
Sheffield has air defense missiles on it, but these missiles cannot lock in missiles that are constantly changing their flight trajectory!
"Boom!" When the first missile no longer changed its trajectory and flew straight towards the waterline of the Invincible aircraft carrier, it was hit by a dense air defense missile and exploded less than 60 meters away from the Invincible.
"boom!"
The second 801 missile launched by Ag finally hit the Invincible aircraft carrier and exploded at the bow near the waterline.
The violent explosion caused the huge aircraft carrier to swing, and the angles of the air-resistant machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on it changed instantly.
In an instant, the latest aircraft carrier was blown up a hole and a large amount of sea water poured into the interior of the aircraft carrier.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
With several violent explosions, four huge holes with a diameter of more than one meter appeared on the side of the attacked aircraft carrier on the Invincible one after another... (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
