Qi Yiming originally looked down on the air defense capability of British warships. The only point like the Sea Javelin missile, which is the point air defense, is also far less range than the Standard-1 missile or the Thorn-1 missile used by China. The range of the remaining anti-aircraft missiles such as the Sea Wolf and the Sea Cat is basically the same as that of the Sea Ram and the 3000 Kill You, and it is absolutely impossible for a well-trained Nanjie pilot to attack the British army within a volley range of less than 5 kilometers.

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. With more than 10 British warships on the sea, nearly 100 anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missile launchers, if such a firepower density cannot be hit by a single aircraft, then Britain's old naval power will really be in vain.

After a Flying Leopard was shot down, the SPLM fighters became more cautious and cautious in their actions, trying to avoid the range of British anti-aircraft fire and not gambling on their luck. In addition, three Type 70 destroyers with Sea Javelins with a range of 42 km, which were immediately marked as important targets second only to aircraft carriers, were fired by the Flying Leopard group.

Compared with the Invincible-class aircraft carrier, the Type 42 destroyer was built to make room and weight for many weapons and electronic equipment, so the hull is very thin, which can be called a thin skin and big stuffing, and the British also suffered from their own design in the Falklands War, and after being hit by an anti-ship missile, the survival character of this type of destroyer is very poor.

The two Flying Leopards circled in a formation and fired a total of four YJ-83Ks in succession, targeting another Type 42 destroyer, the USS Edinburgh. After the Falklands War, the Type 42 destroyer was equipped with several 20mm anti-aircraft aircraft and American-made close-in defense guns, and even though the Lovely Timburgh tried its best to intercept these four missiles, it could only watch these anti-ship missiles hit the hull under the fluttering trajectory. The nerve knives of the close-up guns are on full display in this scene.

One of the missiles, because it was fired a little high, grazed the 4 of the Edinburgh. The 5-inch naval gun turret skimmed over and did not directly hit the ship. But the other three hit the hull of the Edinburgh, and one hit the ship better, drilling directly below the waterline, bursting through the big hole and instantly raising a column of water, and then the raging sea water immediately poured into the hull. Combined with the action of two other missiles that caused violent explosions, the Edinburgh had actually lost its balance and flipped to one side.

No one could stop a 5,000-ton ship from capsizing into the sea, and under the shocked eyes of the British soldiers, the entire Edinburgh was lifted into the sea, and a few minutes later it was the bottom of the Edinburgh that was exposed to the surface of the sea.

There is also a Bobcat anti-submarine helicopter in this airspace, which took off from the Edinburgh, but in such a battle, the helicopter is particularly embarrassing, if they don't take off just now, they will definitely be trapped in the overturned hull at this time, but now they are at low altitude, but they are a good target.

This Bobcat helicopter is not ordinary, because it carries a special person, who was Prince Andrew, who participated in the Falklands War and now serves in the 702nd Naval Aviation Squadron of the British Army, that is, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. There was a story in the press that he flew a plane during the Falklands War and used a reflector to interfere with Exocet anti-ship missiles. This thing sounds like a fantasy novel to professionals, and it cannot be ruled out that it is a joke made to promote the British royal family.

Originally, in this war, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II strictly ordered that her second son should not be allowed to participate in the war again, but Prince Andrew, who was still young and enthusiastic, ignored the objections, and said that since he was a member of the British Navy and his comrades-in-arms had gone to war, he could not enjoy the privilege of watching others spill blood. Prince Andrew's bold remarks were naturally published in the news media, and also aroused unanimous praise from public opinion in Britain.

It's just that no one thought that Britain's opponent this time would definitely no longer be a crappy character like Argentina. It is impossible for the SPLA to give this prince a chance to use a reflector to "outsmart the flying fish".

A Thunder had already spotted this helicopter flying alone at a low altitude, seemingly trying to avoid the battlefield, and in line with the simple idea that it was a merit to shoot a little more, the FC-1 aimed at the big lynx and launched a PL-8 combat missile. The missile that stabbed diagonally from the sky easily hit the helicopter, which could not be easily shaken off as nimble as a fighter. In fact, fighter jets against helicopters have always been a massacre.

The big lynx sadly fell into the sea with a member of the royal family, and as for Prince Andrew's life and death, no one knows now.

The attack on the British fleet has not yet ended, and the Flying Leopard aircraft group with a total of 64 YJ-83K is just this kind of extravagance, which makes the British army chill, and in the entire Falklands War, the Argentine Air Force is counting and hitting Exocet missiles, while the Southern Liberation Air Force is not asking for money at all. If the effect of two missiles hitting the opposing ship is not very obvious, several flying leopards are not willing to wait a little longer to see if the ship is still fighting or whether it will sink slowly, but will throw a few missiles in one go, until they see that the ship is surrounded by fire or directly capsizes.

After more anti-ship missiles were dropped, more and more British ships were hit, and after the sinking of the Edinburgh, the remaining two Type 42 destroyers also suffered the catastrophe, and the Sea Javelin, which posed the greatest threat to the PLA Air Force, was finally impossible to be fired again.

And the other core aircraft carrier of the British army, which was also the Invincible, which had participated in the Falkland War, was not much better. When the several escort ships on her side were almost dismantled by the flying leopards, there was almost no power to fight back, and the flying leopards that were completely relieved rushed into the sky, and when they climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters, they rushed straight towards the Invincible like a divine eagle that swept down at a high speed.

This is definitely not a standard fighter-bomber attack maneuver, maybe it was a whim of the pilot, and his goal is also very clear. The Invincible also has the ability to take off and land carrier-based aircraft, destroying her flight deck and rendering it completely scrapped. The attacks of anti-ship missiles are all horizontal, and basically can only hit the side side, but the flying leopard, which made a near-vertical dive straight up and down, used the azimuth and gravity to knock out the last two YJ-83K in this way.

At the moment when the missile detached, the flying leopard immediately raised the nose of the plane, this type of fight-bomber plane does not have much dexterous maneuverability, if it is out of it, it is estimated that it will fall on the flight deck with the missile, and the pilot does not intend to be a kamikaze special attack team, so naturally it will not be so crazy.

The two anti-ship missiles directly penetrated the front and rear of the flight deck of the Invincible, completely destroying her ability to take off and land aircraft, and with the help of gravity and the high speed of its own engine, the missile began to penetrate the flight deck and then continuously penetrated the deck of three layers of the hull.

After several waves of attacks, the flying leopards of the two groups threw all the anti-ship missiles under the wings, and their results were also very glorious, the two aircraft carriers were hit in many places, the Ark Royal had begun to tilt and would sink in a short time, the main deck of the Invincible was destroyed, two of the three Type 42 destroyers were sunk, one was destroyed and lost its combat effectiveness, two frigates were sunk and two were wounded. The British army's originally mighty and majestic task force was actually under the hands of the PLA Air Force at this moment, and it was only trembling.

The air battle in the sky was still going on, and the Flying Leopard began to retreat after completing the strike mission, and just now the British army had already taken off more than a dozen Sea Harriers and began to entangle with the Thunder Dragon in the air. It's just that the sea harrier, which has a lot of poor performance, is only a role in delivering food and receiving bento.

Although this chaotic battle in the air was not tragic, it was also extremely difficult. The main task of the Thunder Dragon is to protect the Flying Leopard from attacking, and the Sea Harrier will attack the Flying Leopard as soon as it comes up, and the Thunder Dragon must intercept it. Originally, the Thunder Dragon could rely on its mobility and speed to **** these clumsy Sea Harriers in all aspects. But with the involvement of the flying leopard, the dragon had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the sea harrier.

Fortunately, the mobility of the flying leopard itself is not comparable to the half-hung STOVL fighter of the Sea Harrier, when the Sea Harrier wants to bite the tail of the flying leopard, the fighter bomber immediately turns on the afterburner to maneuver more violently to avoid, and the Sea Harrier wants to keep up with them but it is not so easy, at this time the chasing Thunder Dragon immediately launched missiles or fire, and knocked these unknown Sea Harriers from the sky.

Because there were so many planes in the sky, the fight became extremely crowded. And the sea harriers that are constantly being hit fall from the sky like flies that have been hit with insecticides. Some of the flying leopards who finished throwing bombs also joined the fight with the sea harriers with two or four fighting bullets.

When two liberation fighters besieged a British fighter, the Sea Harriers, who were already at a disadvantage, became even more powerless. The air battle lasted more than 40 minutes, and although there was no wonderful chase strike, the Yuzhan fighters, who were good at small-scale coordination and excellent use of their own performance, easily knocked out 13 AV-8 Sea Harriers of the British army. The slight fly in the ointment was that a flying leopard was blocked by two crazy Sea Harriers, and fell after being hit by two AIM-9s, which was the second fighter lost in this battle.

If it is an ordinary battle of three or four fighters, this situation is unlikely. But the sky is a chaotic battle of dozens of warplanes, and it is easy to cause such an accident.

"The second strike echelon will enter the field in 10 minutes!" The first batch of Flying Leopards has completed the attack mission, and the next two groups of Flying Leopards will completely bury the British fleet.

"Begin preparations for the relay guidance mode to guide the shore-to-ship missile forces to attack." This position was almost the limit range of the C-602 attack, and Qi Yiming transferred a missile battalion until the closest position before deploying the formation to prepare for the attack.

Just as Qi Yiming was about to accept this victory, bad news followed.

A frigate that was judged to have lost its attack power somehow resumed its anti-aircraft gun operation, and a flying Thunder was hit by a sudden 20mm anti-aircraft gun, and the pilot was worried that the hit fuel tank might cause an explosion, and immediately parachuted.

Even worse news is that a strike fleet of 32 Tornado and four Triumph bombers has arrived in the area, and a larger air battle is about to begin.
