When the BrahMos anti-ship missile jumped vertically into the air, it left a very bright trajectory in the night sky.

Captain Yan Yunxiang, who had just completed the task of guiding the anti-ship missile attack, witnessed this "spectacular scene" with his own eyes, and he did not dare to hesitate and immediately sounded the alarm.

Almost simultaneously, the pilots of five more Ka-27 helicopters also raised the alarm.

The reaction speed of the "Air Police 2000" is not slow at all. The BrahMos anti-ship missile had just climbed to an altitude of 1,500 meters and was continuing to rise when it was discovered by the phased array radar on the AWACS aircraft.

At 10:57 p.m., the radar of the "Air Police 2000" locked on 12 targets and automatically switched to tracking mode.

Tactical information was simultaneously transmitted to the two air defense destroyers in the task force, and then relayed to the other four destroyers and six frigates via the tactical data link.

When the air defense siren sounded, Major General Lin Xiaolei's mood also became nervous.

The BrahMos anti-ship missile, which weighs 3,000 kilograms, flies at more than 2.5 times the speed of sound, is equipped with a 300-kilogram warhead, and can attack a warship at an altitude of 8 to 10 meters, must not be underestimated. Although Lin Xiaolei did not think that the "BrahMos" were more advanced than the C-603 of the Republic Navy, he had to admit that the twelve "BrahMos" posed a great threat to the task force.

At 10:59 p.m., the second-generation "China Aegis" phased array radar equipped with the "Chengdu" and "Chongqing" air defense destroyers discovered 12 BrahMos anti-ship missiles flying at an altitude of 15,000 kilometers 200 kilometers away. When the distance is reduced to 180 kilometers, the radar automatically switches to a tracking state.

At 11 o'clock in the night, two air defense destroyers launched 24 "Haihongqi-91" regional anti-aircraft missiles at a rate of one per second.

The farther the distance, the safer it is for a warship to destroy an incoming anti-ship missile.

The maximum firing range of the "Haihongqi-91" regional anti-aircraft missile is 120 kilometers. The maximum shooting altitude is 25,000 kilometers. When intercepting anti-ship missiles in a two-to-one manner. The probability of damage is between 75 and 95 percent. In the past exercises. The probability of two "Haihongqi 91" intercepting one C-603 is only 70 percent. If the "BrahMos" is about the same as the C-603 in terms of performance. Then the probability of interception on the ground at this time will not exceed 75 percent.

The results are similar. Twenty-four "Haihongqi 91" laid down nine "BrahMos".

At this time. The BrahMos anti-ship missile is only 40 kilometers away from the nearest air defense destroyers, the "Chengdu" and "Chongqing." The anti-ship missile is activated by an active search radar on the ground. After discovering the battleship on the surface of the sea. Three BrahMos quickly dived. The flight altitude was reduced from 15,000 meters to less than 10 meters.

"Chengdu" again launched six "Haihongqi-91" anti-aircraft missiles. "Chongqing" also fired six anti-aircraft missiles at the fastest speed.

Four-on-one. The hit rate is over 98 percent!

The second batch of "Haihongqi 91" has not yet hit the target. Four general-purpose destroyers and six general-purpose frigates also joined the battle. Medium-range anti-aircraft missiles of the "Haihongqi-81" type were fired one after another.

No one wants to use the terminal interceptor system against the BrahMos anti-ship missile, which has a speed of more than Mach 2.5.

In the blink of an eye, the three "BrahMos" that narrowly escaped the first round of interception faced 12 "Haihongqi-91" and 28 "Haihongqi-81" anti-aircraft missiles.

There is no doubt that this is a waste of expensive anti-aircraft missiles!

The price of one "Haihongqi 91" is twice that of one "BrahMos", and with so many anti-aircraft missiles against three "BrahMos", Lin Xiaolei can be regarded as having lost his blood. Of course, compared to the battleship being hit by the "BrahMos", even if it is only damaged, this effort is very worth it.

The three "BrahMos" did not have a chance to get close to the battleship at all, and were shot down when they were fifteen kilometers away from the task force.

After making sure that there were no anti-ship missiles in the air, Lin Xiaolei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his watch at the same time. At 23:23, there were only three minutes before and after the air defense operation!

In the three minutes of life and death, the task force withstood the test, as did the air defense system of the Navy of the Republic.

When the fleet was lifted from the state of air defense, Lin Xiaolei wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked the staff officer to make him a cup of coffee. He hadn't closed his eyes for almost fifty hours. When you go to bed, you can sleep for days.

"Chief, the Indian fleet has been routed!"

Lin Xiaolei came to the spirit again. "Put the image on the tactical screen!"

The image was transmitted from the Ka-27 helicopter piloted by Yan Yunxiang, which first reached the skies over India's Western Fleet. On the sea, only seven battleships were left burning in the flames.

"Three 'Bangalore', three 'Delhi' and one 'Talwa', and the other two 'Talwa' have sunk."

"Contact Yan Yunxiang and ask him to report the situation directly to me."

The communications staff officer immediately connected to Yan Yunxiang's communication channel.

"Captain Yan Yunxiang, I'm Lin Xiaolei."

"Chief, I'm Yanyunxiang, do you need me to fly closer?"

"No, I can see it very clearly." Lin Xiaolei took the coffee cup handed by the staff officer, "I want to know if there is a need for a supplementary attack." ”

"Chief, there are still seven battleships that have not been sunk." Yan Yunxiang paused for a moment and said, "The sea is full of Indian Navy officers and sailors, and the captains of the seven Indian warships have all issued orders to abandon ships, but for the sake of insurance, I suggest a second round of supplementary attacks." ”

"Are you sure you need a second round of attacks?" Lin Xiaolei is obviously a little reluctant to expensive anti-ship missiles.

"I'm sure. The Indian Western Fleet is located in the sea very close to Indian territorial waters, and perhaps the Indian Navy will send ships to tow the damaged warship back. ”

Lin Xiaolei nodded slightly, and asked the staff officer next to him, "How far are we from the Indian Western Fleet?" ”

"Two hundred and eighty kilometers, just the maximum range of the C-803." Apparently, this staff officer supported a supplementary attack.

"Yanyunxiang, you evacuate immediately and prepare to guide the anti-ship missiles for a second round of attacks."

"Understood, we'll evacuate immediately!"

The image on the screen shook a few times before disappearing.

"Contact six frigates and launch missiles in five minutes."

At 11:11 p.m., two air defense destroyers and six universal frigates each fired four C-803 anti-ship missiles.

Before these anti-ship missiles arrived, the destroyers "Bangalore," "Mumbai," and the frigate "Tabar," which had been hit hardest, capsized and sank one after another.

Sixteen minutes later, thirty-two C-803 anti-ship missiles hit four battleships floating on the sea.

At 0:14 a.m. on 16 July, the destroyer "Delhi," which had held out to the end, finally bid farewell to the air and sank into the sea with its tail down and head up.

From the time the "Killer Whale" attack nuclear submarine attacked three conventional submarines of the "Squid" class before 22 o'clock on 15 May to the sinking of the "Delhi," a total of two hours and 20 minutes before and after.

In just 140 minutes, the Indian Air Force lost 82 combat aircraft, and the Indian Navy lost six destroyers, three frigates and three conventional submarines. On the other side of the war, the Navy of the Republic did not lose a single fighter plane or a single warship, but only consumed 216 air-to-air missiles, 164 anti-ship missiles and 5 heavy torpedoes.

One-sided battles, one-sided results.

Rear Admiral Lin Xiaolei, who has always been cautious and attaches great importance to his opponent, had the last laugh and won the most important victory for the Republic Navy since its founding. The daydreaming Vice Admiral Leval sank into the sea with the destroyer INS Bangalore, inflicting the worst defeat on the Indian Navy since its founding.

Before the early morning of the 16th, Lin Xiaolei sent out a good news.

This is somewhat redundant. The General Staff mobilized several military satellites to monitor the engagement at all times, and the Chief of the General Staff of Peng Maubang knew the outcome of the battle before the task force launched the second round of missile attacks.

It is not only the Republic's military satellites that monitor the Indian West Fleet and the Republic Task Force.

When the battle ended, it was exactly 2 p.m. EST on the 15th.

Japel had long expected India to lose, but he did not expect India to lose all the "underpants".

When Secretary of State Lynch and National Security Assistant Eric arrived, Japell received a call from Wesley, the C.I.A.'s deputy director for intelligence.

"So be it, keep an eye on China's movements, and let me know as soon as there is any new news." After putting down the microphone, Jappel looked over to the two staff members. "I received news that China's air force deployed in the southwest region has begun to move frequently, and the Pakistani air force has also made frequent sorties. It seems that China will not rest on its laurels. ”

"Santos should be contacted immediately to issue a warning." Eric immediately made a suggestion.

"I've had Wesley warn through intelligence channels." Japel sighed secretly, "Although the possibility of China launching a ground war is still very small, according to the intelligence we have, China is likely to destroy the military infrastructure in eastern India by means of air strikes, so as to achieve the goal of completely crushing India's defense military force." ”

"India will certainly not be able to withstand a full-scale strike by the Chinese Air Force."

"There is a high probability that the conflict will escalate." Lynch followed Eric's words and said, "If India itself is threatened, Santos may take a risk, and we must stop the war from expanding." ”

Jappel was well aware of what it meant to "take risks". If the dog is in a hurry, he will jump off the wall, let alone a nuclear state.

"The question is, is there any way to stop China from being ruthless now?" Eric looked over to the Secretary of State.

"The United Nations." Lynch's answer was very direct, "China has put forward a proposal to sanction both sides of the war, and if it is passed by the United Nations, China will not rashly expand the scale of the war, so as not to bring shame on itself." ”

Jappel's brow jumped a few times, and he understood what Lynch meant. "How much time will it take for the resolution to pass?"

"There is no problem with Britain and France, and there are eight rotating councils that voted in favor. Russia will not be antagonistic to China and will definitely abstain from voting. If it is done quickly, it will be adopted in the Security Council this evening. ”

"Go ahead and try to get the proposal in effect in the Security Council by this evening."

Jappel didn't hesitate any longer, and he didn't have time to hesitate.

It took the Chinese Navy only two hours to wipe out the Indian West Fleet, and if China were given a few more hours, it would not only be the Western Indian Fleet that would be finished.

Damn it*

On the shelves on October 1st, I hope for an October monthly pass, and I beg for a recommended collection!.
