Chapter 803: Standard 2 Interception
I'm very sorry, everyone, but these three chapters still need to be read after 7 o'clock tomorrow, I'm very sorry! Thank you for your great support! Yesterday, Erman 92 gave a big reward of 10,000 coins, and it will be added on Saturday!
The Atlantic Transporter is a merchant ship with a displacement of 14,950 tons and a speed of 23 knots. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter being requisitioned by the Navy, this merchant ship was quickly improved, since this is a container ship, the front and rear decks are straight, so, on the front deck, a take-off and landing area is set up at the very front, which can be used for Sea Harriers to take off, and in the middle, the sides are heightened with containers to become a cargo box, in which more than a dozen Sea Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighters are placed. At the same time, behind the merchant ship, there is a take-off and landing platform.
In this sortie, in terms of aircraft carriers alone, the British only had two ships, loaded with more than 30 Sea Harriers. However, in the war zone, the British had more Sea Harriers than these sorties.
Because, the British have transformed and expanded many merchant ships, such as this very good transport ship, which can carry more than a dozen Sea Harriers, and it is also a good carrier-based aircraft detachment.
It's a pity that the amphibious ship converted from a merchant ship can't be compared with a real aircraft carrier in the end. For example, now, when a Exocet missile attacks this merchant ship on the sea, the captain has no other way but to keep his eyes open!
The Exocet missile pierced the belly of the Atlantic transporter and hit the target accurately! Subsequently, this transport ship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons also ignited a fire and carried out the most tragic scene.
When the Exocet missile hit the warship, a Sea Harrier fighter was struggling to take off from the deck. Pilot Michaelson, eyes full of anger.
This transport ship was loaded with a lot of supplies for the expeditionary fleet, such as tents for 5,000 people; at least ten helicopters, including 3 Chinook helicopters of the 18th Squadron of the Royal Air Force, which is the most important heavy helicopter of the fleet, as well as 6 Wessex helicopters of the 848th Squadron of the Royal Navy and 1 Bobcat helicopter of the 815th Squadron; Engines and other spare parts for Sea Harrier fighters, 1 set of desalination equipment and raw materials for the construction of mobile runways for Sea Harrier fighters.
The explosion continued to spread, and Captain Ian North watched the fire sweep through and went up to the conning tower, he couldn't leave!
The warships that were hit were unfortunate, and the greatest luck was that until now, the two aircraft carriers, still unscathed, were not hit by Exocet missiles!
A large amount of platinum strip interference was released in the air, forming countless radar echoes on the water surface, interfering with the locking and guidance of Exocet missiles, and several helicopters activated jamming systems specifically for Exocet missiles. Before departure, the French could not withstand the pressure and leaked the parameters of the active radar seeker of the Exocet missile to the British, and the British urgently came up with a jamming pod, which could be mounted on a helicopter.
The interference has disabled some Exocet missiles, but there are still some Exocet missiles, which have not changed their flight trajectory and are flying in the direction of the aircraft carrier!
Damn it! On board the Invincible, the British Navy was furious, and at the very moment of the start of the battle, their radar was jammed! The entire aircraft carrier formation, the most relied on is the air defense of the Sea Javelin missiles! And now, this missile is simply not able to lock on to the target and launch! This has led to the loss of the greatest defense!
In the absence of the Sea Javelin, the British aircraft carrier formation is almost facing a one-sided beating! Now, in the face of a flying Exocet missile, the aircraft carrier Invincible can only rely on 114 mm naval guns to shoot at the air!
If it is a small-caliber naval gun, the shooting speed is faster, and it can also be intercepted at the end of the stage, the most famous is the American phalanx system! And now, the naval guns did not have any effect, and this Exocet missile, after a few beautiful S-shaped maneuvers, slammed into it one meter above the waterline of the Invincible!
"Boom!" A loud explosion was heard.
In fact, these Exocet missiles are in the hands of the Argentine Navy, and they are not the most properly maintained, for example, the warheads of some missiles will not be able to detonate, and the Exocet missiles that attacked this time actually have one hanging under the Mirage F1 fighter, but they can't be launched! However, on the whole, Exocet missiles can still easily penetrate the protective net of the British Navy!
In particular, this Exocet missile, which successfully hit the aircraft carrier Invincible, was successfully detonated with a warhead! The 165-kilogram warhead tore through the shell of the side of the Invincible, and a large hole with a diameter of half a meter appeared!
Hit! Luckily, this part is the ship's fresh water storage compartment, which is filled with fresh water, and if it's the cabin next door, it's fuel! As long as this missile deviates by two meters and hits the fuel tank, this aircraft carrier will soon be surrounded by fire!
"Quick, close the damaged compartment and control the damage!" The captain shouted loudly, and when the sound of the missile hitting the hull was clearly heard in the ears of everyone on board, they instinctively trembled, and then, as well-trained soldiers, they reacted.
If you don't do it right away, this aircraft carrier will also sink! And if this aircraft carrier sinks, then you don't have to fight anymore, just go home!
It is already a luxury to be able to go home, and when the time comes, you may have to die here.
At this time, more than a dozen Sea Harrier fighters had already taken off urgently, and they did not hesitate to turn on the afterburner and fly in the direction of the Argentine's attack!
When they turned on the airborne radar, four or five fighters climbed up from the opposite side from ultra-low altitudes, and these fighters also turned on the afterburner and quickly accumulated energy.
Pilot Tarif, while climbing, used his own on-board radar to accurately lock on to the Sea Harrier fighter flying opposite, the kind of fighter like chicken ribs, and now let the British use it like a baby! This battle is really too suspenseless!
As a pilot from Iraq, Tarif has already had a shot down result, and this time, he can't give up the opportunity to brush up his achievements! In particular, as hired pilots, they have signed an agreement in advance, and they can get paid $500,000 for shooting down an enemy plane.
Lock on to the target, then press the launch button, mid-range combat is the most boring! Looking at the white smoke sliding under the wings, Tarif actually had a feeling of heroic invincibility. (To be continued.) )
