At the same time that Dai informed the Roosevelt, the Roosevelt also sent a strongly worded and shocking question: What is the situation and why is it firing at me!?

At this point, the formation commander was completely calm, after all, he had a lot of experience in commanding operations, and he knew best how to save the situation - even if the Roosevelt was to be shot in the end, at least it would prove that his side had made efforts to save the situation.

It will take three more minutes for the Exocet missile to hit its target.

"Good luck! Good luck coming! Volley missiles! I order you to volley the missiles! Throw away all your ammo and chase after it and take the missiles down! The commander of the formation gave Li Zhan such an order for the first time.

If Mo Ren'an was there, he would definitely rush up and smash it with a fist - isn't this sending his own soldiers to death! The Exocet missiles have already entered the range of the anti-aircraft fire of the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group, and Li Zhan rashly rushed over and might be shot down by those "Standard 3" air defense missiles!

Of course, the commander of the formation has a grudge against Li Zhan, I am stupid and gave a stupid order, are you also stupid, won't you analyze it, pause, why do you shoot the missile so simply!

So, you also have to take a certain amount of responsibility!

Li Zhan didn't execute it neatly this time, but asked: "Chicken nest, are you asking me to intercept the missile I launched?" Please repeat the command! ”

"Yes! You have to intercept them! They must not be allowed to cause damage to the Roosevelt......" Speaking of the last sentence, the tone of the formation commander was almost pleading, and Li Zhan was the only means to save the situation!

Monet's voice suddenly broke in: "Lee, you can do it!" You can definitely do it! The maximum speed of the Exocet missile is only Mach 0.9! You know! Only Mach 0.9! You throw away all the weight and you can catch up with them! Kill them with a cannon! You can do it! ”

The commander of the formation said again: "Good luck, the three-minute countdown has begun, and you only have three minutes!" ”

The staff officer couldn't help but scold: "Faka, why did he hesitate now when he carried out the order so simply just now!" ”

Li Zhan could also hear this, because the formation commander did not release the call button.

Li Zhan said coldly: "Because by doing so, I may let those standard missiles launched by the Burke battleship shoot down!" If you're going to intercept missiles, you'll have to tell the Roosevelt not to shoot missiles indiscriminately! ”

The formation commander could not ask the Roosevelt to do this, and it was almost impossible for the Roosevelt to do so. If this is tantamount to handing over life and death to Li Zhan, if Li Zhan fails to intercept the next two Exocet missiles, then their air defense preparation time will be greatly shortened!

The anti-aircraft fire network of the aircraft carrier battle group of the Roosevelt has not yet undergone actual combat tests, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to shoot down the incoming Exocet!

It's a dilemma!

Does Li Zhan want to intercept it, of course he doesn't want to! However, he did not want the Roosevelt to die, but wanted to take advantage of this serious mistake of the formation commander to see the air defense capability of the Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group, especially the defense against incoming missiles!

Such an opportunity is simply falling from the sky! And I believe that there will be basically no more in the future.

Of course, he didn't want to put himself in danger for this. His purpose is to protect his family and defend the country, to protect the flower planting family and to protect my motherland, and his life can only be controlled by the Chinese people, and everyone else here is garbage.

However, he thought about it a little more carefully, and it was not without benefit to intercept it, at least the French would owe him a great favor, and secondly, he would have the opportunity to experience the anti-aircraft fire of the USS Roosevelt up close. The United States and France are allies, both NATO countries, and they use the same set of identification systems for friend or foe, so theoretically there will be no accidental injury.

But!

Are there fewer accidental injuries in the US military?

So there's still a lot of risk!

At this time, the formation commander must make a decision as soon as possible, or convince Li Zhan as soon as possible! He didn't realize that the principle of "executing instructions to the letter" suddenly didn't work at this time!

"Good luck! Three days later, on the Day of Military Exchange of Multinational Air Forces, we hope to be able to provide you with Rafale fighters as landlines, I promise! "The commander of the formation gritted his teeth and prescribed a condition.

Li Zhan's eyes lit up and said, "I still want to fly the Typhoon fighter." ”

"No problem! I arrange! ”

"Everyone, testify, I'm going to intercept the Exocet missile!" Li Zhan directly said to death, and then said, "But I can't guarantee that the interception will be successful, and you must inform the Roosevelt and let them pay attention to eliminating my fighter signal!" ”

"No problem! Good luck comes, you can, you really can, you are the most handsome and lucky man in the world! "The commander of the formation can't wait to pour all the praises on Li Zhan, as long as he can intercept the two Exocet missiles!

Li Zhan smiled, "I'll do my best." ”

He threw away three drop tanks that were running out of fuel, but not ammunition. He needed Mika air-to-air missiles to intercept Exocet missiles, but he couldn't use the most ground-guided bombs. The problem is that he still wants to wait for live ammunition to fire, and he already fully understands the situation of the Rafale fighter, even if he keeps these ammunition, he can still fly at supersonic speed, he has already done mental calculations, he must at least catch up at a speed of 1600 kilometers per hour to have enough time to intercept two Exocet missiles.

In fact, time is very tight.

And 1600 kilometers per hour is the limit that the Rafale M carrier-based fighter can reach with a payload.

In the last 10 kilometers, the Exocet anti-ship missile will enter the sea-skimming flight stage, flying at an altitude of 20 or 30 meters above the sea surface, and going straight to the opponent's radar blind spot. The "Sheffield" is a destroyer of more than 4,000 tons, which makes Exocet hit the soul with one shot, which shows the horror of this hit position.

After throwing away all the loadouts, Li Zhan could easily catch up with the Exocet before it was 10 kilometers away from the Roosevelt, but he was unwilling to give up the third live-fire subject - whether the Roosevelt was dead or alive was none of my business, and it was completely out of humanitarianism that I could promise to risk catching up and intercepting it!

Li Zhan is absolutely sure that if he were a French pilot, he would have resolutely returned to the mothership - why should I share the responsibility with you for the mistakes of your formation commander? Why are everyone part-time workers?

It's realistic.

So he made the decision to throw away the drop fuel tank but not the ammunition, the maximum speed of the Rafale is not outstanding, but the acceleration performance of this range within the design maximum speed is very good, which can buy some time.

Again, he still has an altitude of three thousand meters at this time, and he can also use some gravitational acceleration. Basically, when he caught up with the Exocet missile, it should be twenty seconds before the Exocet missile dived down to the altitude and flew over the sea, which means that in these twenty seconds, he has the greatest chance of being injured by mistake! Before that, there was a certain distance between him and the Exocet missile, so the anti-aircraft missile launched by the frigate of the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group would basically not hit him if it had not been a serious mistake.

However, there was never a 100 percent event, and according to the historical "record" of the US military (they sometimes suffered more casualties than combat casualties by mistake), Li Zhan still had to be in a high-risk environment.

Really, Li Zhan can promise to catch up and intercept it is already very, very "righteous enough"!

PS: I'm reimagining how I should manipulate next, this is a 2,000-word chapter, and there are 5,000 words left today.
