Chapter 196: The Air Crash Happens (76/100)
"Boom!" In the dark, when the missile was launched, Captain Osipovich subconsciously closed his eyes, if he suddenly saw a strong light in the dark, it would lead to temporary blindness, which was how Andrei was blinded in the first place, and because of this, the nervous system was stimulated, and he spent more time as a blind person.
Now, after hearing the explosion, Captain Osipovich slowly opened his eyes, and when he did, he saw that the target airliner had begun to tumble downward.
The design of the R-98 missile is quite primitive and backward, and now even the R-40 mounted on the MiG-25 is backward, but this missile has a warhead against the sky.
How rebellious is it? It has a charge of forty kilograms! In comparison, the best performance Sparrow missile of this era, the warhead is only 27 kg.
At the same time, the total weight of such missiles also reached two hundred and sixty kilograms.
The Soviets have always liked thick and large things, and missiles are even more so, because their missiles have limited accuracy, so they rely on a large warhead to compensate for it.
Now, with tail chasing attacks, the target does not have any maneuvering, and unless it is a missile malfunction, there is absolutely no possibility of missing the target.
In the midst of a loud explosion, the warhead of the R-98, almost directly facing the tail nozzle of the engine, exploded.
In the huge explosion, countless metal fragments flew in all directions, and countless fragments flew into the engine in this way.
The mechanism inside the engine is tens of thousands of revolutions at every turn, and in the high-speed rotation, the fragments hit it, which immediately brought a terrible chain effect, some of the impellers were broken, and the broken impellers flew out at high speed, splashed to other places, and everywhere they went, they were miserable.
Suddenly, a fragment hit the oil pipeline, and the fuel inside was sprayed out instantly, and a fire, with a bang, came out.
Yes, it's a fire.
The engine where it was hit began to burst into flames, and in just a few seconds, the wing suddenly broke apart, and half of the wing fell with flames.
When there was a huge explosion, Park Jeong-jeong, who was in front, immediately knew that it was not good, and then, on the dashboard in front, the engine fire warning light began to flash.
Damn, what's going on?
As the captain, Park Jeong-yi now has an unshirkable responsibility, and he immediately pulled the operating stick to stop the plane from falling, but then, the plane rolled and fell in an incredible way.
"What's going on, what's going on?" The captain shouted loudly, at this time, in the passenger compartment behind, more frightened voices came, those passengers who were sleeping, most of them were not wearing seat belts, and now, their bodies were rolling in the cabin, and each of them carried the fear of dying.
Park Jeong-yi was still trying to push the operating stick, but unfortunately the plane had completely lost control, just before he died, he remembered the scene last time, if that man was there, how good it would be, he would definitely be able to save the plane.
Unfortunately, God is busy and can't come to the rescue just right every time.
The airliner tumbled and fell, in the icy waters east of Sakhalin, and fell.
The air crash that shocked the whole world happened like this, and the next day, the whole world learned the news, and in the waters east of Sakhalin Island in the Soviet Union, the Soviets brazenly shot down a lost passenger plane, causing the death of more than 200 innocent civilians!
USS Kitty Hawk.
Almost an hour after the disaster, at this time, most of the personnel on the aircraft carrier were asleep, and even the planes that flew at night were almost only trained in the first half of the night.
So, when I came to the conference room, everyone was sleepy-eyed.
Nathan also rubbed his eyes, today changed to fly a Tomcat with a TF41 engine, and experienced that he no longer has to take care of the smooth and dripping flight of the aircraft engine, and at night, he studied various technical manuals, and slept very late, and now he has only slept for two hours, and he is also very sleepy.
What the hell is going on? Pull everyone out?
"Guys, here's amazing news." Colonel Petrobaury, the commander of the flight wing, looked at his pilots and said: "Just an hour ago, over Sakhalin Island, a Boeing 747 passenger plane was shot down, causing casualties among 240 passengers and 29 crew members on board, including 75 South Korean passengers, 61 American passengers, and 22 island passengers.... Our American Congressman, Edward John, was also on this airliner. So far, the whereabouts of the people on board the plane are unknown. ”
"The Soviets, actually did it to the airliner again?"
"That's it, the Soviets are simply pushing our limits!"
Suddenly, everyone woke up, this is simply the Soviets challenging the free world, and they actually dare to do it against the airliner!
Everyone immediately became indignant, in the values of the United States, the importance of everyone's life, not to mention the presence of American congressmen on the plane, this is simply contempt for life and a challenge to the entire Western world!
When the news spreads, the whole Western world will be moved!
Looking at the people under his command, Colonel Petro Bori was very satisfied, this incident was a stimulus, and it also helped a lot to improve the morale of his side.
But it seems that Nathan didn't react much?
"Nathan, tell me about it." Colonel Petro Bori asked Nathan.
"I don't have any opinions, I obey the orders of my superiors." Nathan said.
At this time, Nathan was angry in his heart, as a soldier, he made it his duty to obey orders, but he was also extremely disgusted with those who did not care about the lives of civilians and did not hesitate to sacrifice others for some political purpose.
Publicly, this is an ordinary airliner, it is a ragged, but in fact, this is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time, and now, Nathan just feels unspeakably disgusting.
So now, Nathan's performance is different from everyone else.
Colonel Petro Bori frowned suddenly, this Nathan is very abnormal.
Nathan's fighting spirit is quite high, and when something like this happens, Nathan should be indignant, and then rush forward!
Didn't Nathan have experienced this kind of incident before? His current attitude is not right at all.
"So, Nathan, you say, what are we going to do?" Colonel Petro Bori continued to ask.
What to do? Nathan shook his head: "I don't know, I obey the orders of my superiors." ”
"Don't you have any opinion? Nathan, you've always been the king of ideas on our aircraft carrier, and you have so many ghost ideas, now, there's nothing to say? ”
