Chapter 355: Missile Falls

The "Harpoon" anti-ship missile roared into the sky, quickly reaching a ballistic altitude of 800 meters, and then fell downward according to the force of inertia and entered the terminal trajectory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The missile flies downward, and when it reaches an altitude of about 3 meters above the sea surface, it has changed to sail close to the sea surface.

According to the original design intention, this low-altitude flight is to avoid the radar scanning of enemy ships, but now the target is a small merchant ship of Kiris that no one is there, naturally there is no radar scanning, even if you don't dodge, there is no problem, but the flight procedure for the attack has already been set up in the missile, and it will not be changed.

At this time, the active radar in the front of the missile was also turned on, and it was very easy to scan and lock on to the target of the attack: a small merchant ship anchored on the surface of the sea in front.

If the target of the missile is a relatively advanced warship, which is now locked by the active radar, it will definitely sound a strong warning, and the escort system will be activated as soon as possible, and if it is advanced enough, there is still a little possibility of shooting down the attacking missile.

But now, of course, the small merchant ship will not have such equipment, and will just quietly wait as a target for the missile to fly closer.

The Exocet missile has reached a maximum speed of Mach 0.9 and is about to hit the central part of the Kiris small merchant ship.

The beautiful reporter of Nanyang Country opened her mouth nervously, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the missile flying at high speed in the distance.

Sumatra smiled slightly, as the captain of the "Sigma", he had test-fired the "Harpoon" anti-ship missile several times, and he was no stranger to the attack scene of this missile. His mind was already flooded with the image of the Kiris merchant ship being blown to pieces by a missile, accompanied by the sea bombing into the sky.

He had even already figured out how to write a speech in front of the camera later, and took advantage of this rare opportunity to greatly enhance his popularity.

This time, the Nanyang Kingdom declared war in an uproar, and the on-the-spot interviews with the advanced warships in service, and even the live-fire test launch of missiles, such programs have long attracted many audiences.

In front of the TV, not only most of the people of the two countries concerned, Nanyang and Kiris, but even Citigroup and Huaxia, which have little to do with it, have also seen the live broadcast through the Internet.

Under the watchful eyes of all people, the "Harpoon" missile approached the Kiris merchant ship and was about to hit the explosion.

Suddenly, the missile's tail flame disappeared, and when it lost power, an upside-down onion was inserted into the sea water in the air resistance, leaving only the waves stirred up by the missile when it entered the water on the sea surface, and it disappeared silently.

On the frigate "Sigma," the Nanyang soldiers were silent, which was so unexpected that they could not accept the fact that the missile was malfunctioning for a while.

Speaking of which, it is not very strange that a missile malfunctions in practice, but it is really strange that a missile has never malfunctioned when it is about to become a target in such an attack.

The photographer also slipped his hand in surprise, and just turned the original camera on the missile, Sumenla, to the side, and filmed the transformation of his face from smile to surprise, and preferably fixed on the image of his mouth opening in disbelief, so that the audience in front of the TV could see this embarrassed expression.

After a while, the beautiful reporter reacted a little and asked hesitantly, "What happened just now?"

Su Mala coughed a few times to hide the embarrassed atmosphere, "I think this is a little accident with the missile, the probability of this kind of thing happening will be about 1 in 10 million, we will negotiate with the missile seller and ask them to compensate us for the loss!"

"Oh, we can all understand that any product will have the possibility of defects, just like shopping in a regular supermarket, although the probability is very low, but it is also possible to buy a fake product. The beautiful reporter also cooperated to resolve this embarrassing situation, and then asked: "Then we will move on to the next interview session......

Now that the temporary increase in the missile test has leaked, the beautiful reporter wants to re-conduct the program interview according to the original plan.

Su Mala's face turned blue and white for a while, there was a leak in the temporary increase in the missile test launch link, not only did it not increase his prestige smoothly, but on the contrary, it also caused a lot of blows, it is estimated that now his competitors are laughing and laughing at his own jokes, which he absolutely cannot accept.

In any case, it can't be left like this, Sumatra said loudly: "No, we still have missiles to launch, and this time it will definitely be successful!"

With the failure just now, although launching missiles again may not necessarily increase prestige, it can still offset and reduce some adverse effects, after all, occasional accidents can also be said to be a little less lucky, and it is better than doing nothing, which will only make people say that the missile launch failed.

At Sumala's strong request, the television crew also agreed to broadcast the missile launch live.

The second Harpoon anti-ship missile was quickly installed on the launch pad by the soldiers of the Sigma, and in order to ensure success, Sumatra personally took someone to inspect it and made sure that everything was in order.

The missile takes off into the air, according to the program, and after rising to the highest position, it will turn into a terminal orbit, and finally hit the target ship close to the sea level, and then explode and sink it.

Sumatra held her breath and stared nervously at the missiles in the air, praying in her heart, "Don't let any more leaks!"

Originally, as a senior captain, he was no stranger to launching missiles, and he would not have any nervousness, but if the missile launch failed again, it would definitely deal a heavy blow to his prestige, and it would determine whether his career would be promoted or degraded, and he couldn't help but pay little attention to it.

Thousands of miles away at the base of Crescent Island, Shi Xuan watched the live TV broadcast, smiled lightly, and snapped his fingers at Penglai.

Penglai nodded, and ordered to reach the railgun in Earth's orbit immediately.

A tiny super-powered beam was emitted from the railgun and unmistakably onto the Harpoon missile, which had just left the missile launcher. The beam was so small that no one noticed, let alone live TV.

For Penglai, it was easy to find information about the Harpoon missile, the most widely used anti-ship missile among Citi's allies, and it was completely clear about its internal structure, which could be destroyed with a super beam with great precision.

The key point of the missile's internal propulsion system was instantly penetrated by the super beam, the tail flame was extinguished again, and the missile that lost power fell down under the action of gravity.

The 4.7-meter, 570-kilogram Harpoon missile fell over the battleship and fell heavily into the sea next to the "Sigma," splashing waves more than 10 meters high.

The embarrassed image of the two people falling into the soup chicken was instantly broadcast live on TV and displayed in front of the audience......
