"All attack trajectories determined, 46 targets, strike wave 1, launch!" The weapons officer on the Aquila arsenal battlecruiser shouted, and the 50,000-ton powerful ship's front-end vertical launch unit continuously released Thorn-9 anti-aircraft missiles, reaching into the sky.

The flight speed of up to Mach 1 makes these missiles able to approach their targets in a very short time, and even if the US fighter planes are not concentrated in one airspace, but from multiple directions, these sensitive and intelligent missiles can still easily lock the US fighters.

“Incoming，Incoming！ Be careful to circumvent! The American pilots shouted, many of them were very tired after returning from the Tenryu fleet to the aircraft carrier to reload fuel and bomb again, and then take off again for the mission, but this terrifying wave of missile attacks still woke them up from the already somewhat trance state just now.

Based on their own experience, US pilots released aluminum foil capable of interfering with active radar guidance, entered the ECM countermeasures, and at the same time performed instinctive large-angle maneuvers to evade missiles. However, evasion at this time is not necessarily effective, and some pilots will even send themselves into the missile's kill radius when panicking.

But today's US pilots were clearly not very lucky, and they ran into a terrible missile that they had not encountered before.

"Damn, the missile's engine is still running, it's the kind of super anti-aircraft missile launched by the arsenal ship!" A pilot who had fought against the Draco before exclaimed. Conventional active radar-guided air control missiles, including anti-aircraft missiles and air-to-air missiles, have their engines practically turned off after a certain distance of flight, and these missiles do not directly hit the aircraft, but kill the aircraft with fragmentation warheads.

However, Thorn-9 is a subversive anti-aircraft missile, this size is not much larger than the ordinary anti-aircraft missile of the new missile, from the launch to the target of the whole process, the engine is running, and has a strong maneuverability, even if the fighter continues to fly out of the maneuver of large overload, and even the missile temporarily loses the target, but when the missile sweeps to the target again, it will still lock on, carry out a deadly attack.

After this missile was jointly launched by the Red Alert Base and the Black Science and Technology Research Center, the Air Force once called it "a missile that will not miss", and naturally the Thorn-9 will not be foolproof, there is a spear and a shield, and the Air Force itself has also figured out the use of active stealth to evade radar lock-on and use ultra-high-power electromagnetic interference to destroy the homing head and other methods to deal with this missile, but now the US military does not have either method, so the Thorn-9 is a nightmare that the US military cannot escape.

I saw a US pilot flying an F-18 Hornet rolling wildly, and even the maneuvering action had already made him blackheaded, but the nimble missile still lightly hit the belly of the Hornet again after making a circle.

Only a fairly small number of Thorn missiles did not hit their targets, while most of them hit their own targets, and there were not even a few cases of multiple missiles hitting the same target. Just such a wave of air defense missile attacks wiped out more than 30 US fighters, and the arsenal ship's powerful Aegis air defense system revealed its hideous face, just like the thousand-armed Guanyin, no enemy could break through her defenses.

"Wave 2 ready, launch!"

Another round of anti-aircraft missile attacks came, and there was basically no airspace protected by its own fighter planes over this surface ship assault formation, and it was completely an air defense umbrella supported by the arsenal ships and several Aegis ships, and even if the US military launched hundreds of fighter attacks, it would be difficult to shake this artifact-like warship.

In fact, in each wave of attacks, the anti-aircraft missiles launched by the arsenal ship rarely exceed 60, although the Type 011 arsenal ship can attack hundreds of targets at the same time, but the redundancy is to allow the warship system to better control the missiles to achieve a better hit rate, after all, in a range of more than 200 kilometers, the warship's radar and system for the guidance of the missile play a very important role in the initial stage of missile launch.

The US military had more than 100 warplanes ready to launch an attack on the battleship formation of the Liu Renjiao, but in such a short distance of 200 kilometers, the Aquila arsenal ship was able to fire four waves of anti-aircraft missiles in a row, and the high hit rate caused the US fighters to fall down one after another like mosquitoes infected with insecticides.

However, the US military is not completely powerless to fight back; within entering a distance of 200 kilometers, although many weapons are still unusable, anti-ship missiles such as Harpoon and Slam can already be launched, and some US fighters specializing in launching anti-ship missiles, even after dropping these anti-ship missiles, do not care about further guidance, and immediately turn around and fly back, fearing that they will be shot down by the Chinese's terrible missiles.

On the battleship Liu Renliang, the captain of the Red Alert ordered: "Enter the process defense combat mode and turn on the solid-state laser weapon countermeasure system!" ”

In addition to the two triple 400mm Baitian electromagnetic guns, it is also equipped with ten 1130 close-in defense guns, 10 FL-3000N close-in missile launchers, and four short-range laser cannons. On the one hand, these close-in defense weapons can provide the last layer of absolute defense for general-class battleships, and on the other hand, they can also provide battleships with relatively short-range surface target strike capabilities.

The US military dropped at least 10 anti-ship missiles in one go, all of which were aimed at the largest battleship Liu Renliang, and the ship formation composed of five warships was not intimidated by a cruise missile attack of this scale; the outermost cruisers and destroyers first used their own air defense weapons to deal with these missiles, and the arsenal ships on the sides of the battleships also had strong close defense capabilities. As for the battleships themselves, not to mention.

Most of the more than 10 anti-ship missiles were shot down by the remaining four ships, and the Chinese Navy has studied these Harpoons of the US military very thoroughly, and the success rate of close defense weapons is very high, while the last two missiles attacking the battleship were shot down by the laser cannon with the fastest response.

These laser weapons are not light prism guns, but close defense weapons developed by the Black Technology Center, although the range is not long, and it may be affected by the weather, but the reaction is quite fast, after all, the speed of light propagation is there. It is positioned to complement the gap between close-in defense artillery and close-in defense missiles, since its short reaction time and fast attack speed make it possible to form the densest and most reliable short-range defense network for battleships.

This wave of anti-ship missile attacks is also the only attack that the US air force can come up with, and the arsenal ships have launched missiles one after another to knock down the incoming US fighters from the sky, and Fargo also knows that such an attack is impossible to shake this fleet, and the limit of China's arsenal ships has still not been tested, which makes him even more worried!
