"Royal Ark, Royal Ark, here is an AWACS aircraft, 270 direction, three hundred at a distance, a suspicious target was found, emerging from underwater."

On the AWACS aircraft, the radar officer anxiously called to the fleet.

If it is an American aircraft carrier, after adopting a data link, the data on the AWACS aircraft can be sent to the aircraft carrier and displayed in real time, but not now, their AWACS aircraft is borrowed after all and is not compatible.

However, it was just a voice call, and it was enough to make everyone tremble.

Three hundred kilometers away, a target was found underwater, what was that?

Of course, it was a submarine-launched missile of the Soviets, and it must be an anti-ship missile, otherwise why did the other side launch it?

"The numbers are still growing."

As the light points appeared one by one on the radar screen, the radar officer was anxiously counting the dots on it, more than twenty, this is simply a saturation attack!

The other party first climbed upwards, accelerated, and soon exceeded the speed of sound, it seems, it is a common supersonic anti-ship missile of the Soviets, this thing, it is not easy to intercept!

What to do?

At the moment of receiving this news, Major General Woodward was already dumbfounded, in his service career, he had experienced a lot of turmoil, but this time, it had completely exceeded his expectations.

A large number of Argentine naval and air force attack planes came, wanting to pose a threat to their fleet, and they also took off a large number of fighters to meet the enemy, if only against the Argentine navy and air force, they could still win, but now, a number of other terrible targets have come out!

Supersonic anti-ship missiles of the Soviets, saturation attack, what to do?

At this time, the aircraft carrier had accelerated to 30 knots, although he had not yet reacted, the captain of the carrier-based aircraft wing on the Ark Royal had already reacted: "Continue to catapult and take off, intercept in the direction of 270, be fast!" ”

"The target has reached Mach 3 and is now in ultra-low-altitude flight."

Another report came.

At this time, in a short period of time, the other party has already flown a hundred kilometers.

The Granite missile takes off with a booster, after which it ignites the ramjet engine, pushing the missile to a speed of Mach 3, a distance of more than a kilometer per second, and it only takes a few minutes to fly.

There was very little time left for the fleet to react.

Moreover, after flying at high altitude for a period of time, they all turned to ultra-low altitude, and due to the defects of the ship's radar, they could not detect the incoming missiles at all, and if there were no E-2 early warning aircraft, then they would have been killed by all the anti-ship missiles unconsciously.

Now, on the deck of the aircraft carrier, the steam is filled, and one after another Tomcat fighters, urgently catapulted into the air, towards the rear of the fleet, and pounced fiercely, they must intercept the incoming missiles!

After the Tomcat fighter was ejected, the radar officer began to get busy, activating the Immortal Bird missile, ready to intercept it at a long distance!

However, there were not many of them, one catapult per minute, two catapults, and before the arrival of the other side, there was only time to catapult five or six Tomcat fighters.

This is the power of supersonic anti-ship missiles, because the flight speed is fast, so the time left for the other side to counterattack is also very short.

At this time, suddenly, a Granite missile flew into the air.

What if there are no maritime patrol aircraft for relay guidance?

Of course, the missile formations will solve it themselves!

24 missiles, 23 of which are flying at ultra-low altitudes, only one climbed to a high altitude, turned on its own radar, scanned the sea area ahead, due to the huge size of this missile, so its radar power is also very powerful, after opening, quickly found the target set before.

Then, through the data link, tell the missile below.

The entire missile formation made a 15-degree fine-tuned turn in unison, and swooped down on the target!

Intercept, intercept!

At this time, even the last Tomcat fighter had just ejected and taken off, and the radar had already been turned on, and the AG-9 radar emitted powerful electromagnetic waves, tracking the missiles in front.

Under the belly of the plane, the flames were gathering, and the two immortal bird missiles flew out in a salvo, climbed to a high altitude, and headed towards the missile formation opposite.

Distance, a hundred kilometers.

Woodard had already reacted from the shock and immediately gave the order that all the air defense ships in the formation would immediately sail to the side.

With so many missiles, relying on Tomcat fighters, they will definitely not be able to intercept them, what about the remaining missiles?

It can only be intercepted by Javelin missiles, and if it gets closer, it can be intercepted by close defense artillery, and then it is left to use other warships as shields. That's right, a big task for the other frigates is to use them as shields.

However, what moved Woodard even more was that at this critical juncture, one merchant ship after another accelerated over.

The British Navy wants to come all the way to fight, and the number of merchant ships is more than the number of warships, they set off from the British mainland, the materials they carry, to the fleet for replenishment, and then return to the UK to reload, some have already run three or four times, it is precisely because of the participation of these merchant ships that the British Navy has no worries about logistics support.

These merchant ships have all been requisitioned, and some of them have even been refitted, such as the yacht in front, which welded a huge open-air swimming pool and carried a helicopter on it.

Compared to warships, merchant ships cost less, however, the war has nothing to do with them, they are only responsible for transporting supplies.

Now, they have resolutely chosen to be shields, and they have gathered in the direction of the fleet, hoping to rely on their bodies to attract those terrible anti-ship missiles.

If it is a subsonic missile that flies, they still have a few minutes, but the time left for them is too short for a supersonic missile that flies at a speed of more than Mach 3.

"Boom!" The two immortal bird missiles successfully exploded in front of the high-flying granite missile, and countless shrapnel flew towards the missile, covering a vast rain of bullets.

In the midst of a hail of bullets, the missile continued to fly forward, flying, and then, suddenly, the body of the missile burst into flames.

Intercept one!

Seeing the target disappear from the screen, the radar officer didn't have time to cheer, but he saw that one of the ultra-low-flying missiles below actually left the low altitude and climbed up!

The electronics of the Soviets were so developed? Their entire attack formation is simply intelligent, if one is destroyed, the other will take over and navigate the entire formation!

The time was too short, although the Tomcat fighters were all carrying four undead birds, but they only had time to organize one interception, because the opponent was flying at high speed, and their interception window was very narrow.

In this round, only 4 incoming missiles were intercepted, and the other side had 20!
