Chapter 1304 - Run When You're Done
Although it is not known how many missiles the No. 53 frigate was loaded with, looking at the scale of the explosion, Shi Soviet Union can only think that there is absolutely more than one launch, and he cannot estimate the yield of the explosion.
There is no way, Comrade Rocket Artillery God has never seen a single explosion of this level in his life: he is an artilleryman, not an aviation unit that can drop heavy bombs.
But Joseph saw it, and before the explosion reached his ears, he shouted: "At least a ton of TNT-class explosion, these two frigates will be finished!"
The explosion was really spectacular, so spectacular that the bridges and chimneys of the two frigates were completely surrounded by the explosion of gunpowder smoke and fireworks, and it was impossible to see the damage caused by the explosion at once.
The solid rocket engines used in the Exocet missiles generally do not explode and only burn at a fixed rate, but in the case of 42 kilograms of Octojin explosives encased in the shell of a sturdy warhead as the detonator, these rocket fuel oils are not routinely used.
At least 4 or more missiles were detonated at the same time, and in Joseph's eyes, this violent explosion should have the power of a 2,000-kilogram heavy bomb!
The two small 2,000-ton frigates, still moored next to each other, were next to each other...
Even if the explosion had occurred on the surface of the warship, the two small frigates would have suffered!
Or devastating bad luck!
Not only were the 53 and 51 ships themselves blown into broken sacks, but the air waves and debris from the explosion also swept across the dock, and all living creatures within a distance of seventy or eighty meters could not survive!
The components that were blown up also became weapons of mass destruction, and within 3,500 meters they were smashed down, many houses and cars were smashed, and it seemed that shrapnel was raining down in the sky.
A huge explosion came, and with a psychological illusion, Shi Su even felt a substantial slight wave rushing to his face.
When the smoke of the explosion faded slightly, Joseph and Shi Soviet saw a very "spectacular" scene: the big chimney of frigate No. 53 on the outside was completely disappeared and blown away; The bridge is also almost nowhere to be seen, only some metal components are still twisted there.
Smoke billowed from the deck where the missile launchers were originally placed, and a large hole with a diameter of at least five or six meters appeared, and it is hard to say how much the ship's side was blown down, and it was blocked by the No. 51 frigate and could not be seen, anyway, it was estimated that it was miserable!
Even if the ship is scrapped up to this point, not to mention that the bridge is gone, its structure is estimated to be seriously damaged: a ton of TNT detonates, and if it is placed in a suitable place inside the ship, even the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier will not be able to hold up.
One ton of explosives is not equivalent to a 1,000-kilogram aerial bomb, and the aerial bombs are all still loaded; The four Exocets that run out of fuel are also different from the Exocets that have no loss of fuel, and the latter have a much more powerful overall explosion.
Ship 51 is in slightly better condition, the chimney is still halfway down, and the bridge can at least show that it was once a bridge, and it was this frigate that caught fire, presumably because the explosion ignited the engine of the missile it was carrying.
The missile carried by this frigate was not detonated as a whole by the big explosion of the warship next door, but the launcher was blown up crooked, and the rocket engine did not explode, but it was ignited and became a good arson!
Shi Soviet and Joseph saw it well enough, the effect of 11 rockets far exceeded expectations, not only organized these three frigates with a possible departure from the port, but also sent them to the bottom of the sea with a high probability!
The water depth of the port wharf is not large, and even if it sinks, it will be at the bottom, but in this situation, it is not a simple matter of time to repair them: frigates No. 51 and No. 52 may still be repaired, and frigates No. 53 will be scrapped nine times out of ten.
After Shi Soviet's work was done, the two of them didn't watch much of the excitement, ran to a large American-made pickup truck that had been parked for a long time, got into the car, started it, and then waited for Kirill's three to quickly shoot out all the remaining shells.
......
Kirill will be really busy, he can use the American-made M29 mortar very skillfully, this gun is not bad, at least there is a reliable scope, much happier than Qin Jiandong in Bogotá.
Before the Soviets fired their first rockets, three 81-mm mortar shells flew out of their guns and flew towards the dock area of patrol ships and patrol boats more than 3 kilometers away.
There are a lot of ships of the Colombian Navy in the harbor, and many of them have 20 or 40 mm machine guns, and those things are capable of shooting at the small estate of drug dealers where the Red Devil and others are located.
At a distance of more than 3 kilometers, 20-mm shells are not very accurate to fly here, and the ballistic reasons basically do not directly hit Kirill and others, but it is absolutely no problem to hit an area with a width of nearly 100 meters, not to mention those 40-mm caliber machine guns.
Kirill wanted the people on the patrol ships to jump for a while: in a non-high-level combat readiness, the 81-millimeter mortar shells that fell every two seconds would be distracted by the frigate dock two hundred meters away, and the Colombians should not be expected to pose much threat to their own side in a short period of time, unless there happened to be gunners training in the middle of the day.
Apparently no one trains, and even if there is, live ammunition is not used at the harbor berth, and the trainer ammunition is for show.
In a little more than a minute, the first round of 20 shells all fell on the pier, most of which either exploded on the concrete floor of the pier or exploded in the sea: the landing point was quite concentrated, with a longitudinal dispersion radius of up to 25 meters, and a horizontal dispersion width of 150 meters, covering almost the entire length of the pier of the patrol boat
Kirill quickly fine-tuned the angle of the shelling twice to achieve this effect, with seven or eight shells smashing on the decks of four patrol ships.
The density of firepower is neither big nor small, and the flesh and blood of a few people outside the ship are blown up!
The third time he quickly adjusted the angle of the shelling, this time after firing 8 rounds, he fine-tuned the muzzle of the cannon with a very small amplitude, and fired out all the remaining 15 shells as quickly as possible, five of which were relatively rare high-explosive anti-personnel arson shells.
These shells were accurate, and the radius of the eight rounds in front of them was within fifty meters: quickly after firing all the shells, I saw that fire and smoke were already rising from the position 150 meters away from the frigate dock, where the oil depot of the military port pier was!
Of course, there must be an oil depot in the port, where not only a large amount of diesel fuel is stored, but also a small amount of aviation gasoline and various lubricants. Some were stored in underground tanks, but there were several large ground-level vertical tanks that Kirill was the target of the second round of shelling.
The first eight shells had actually exploded and ignited two of the vertical oil storage tanks with a volume of more than 1,000 cubic meters, and the later seven shells caused a violent fire.
Arson bombs, which ignite much faster and more efficiently than high-explosive anti-personnel bombs.
Finish fighting, run!
Don't look at the effect without looking at the effect, manipulating the mortar, these three runners got into the back seat of the pickup, and Joseph stepped on the accelerator and withdrew!
