Chapter 541: Sinking

Now the British Navy is paying dearly for such a design of theirs.

The moment it was hit, the entire ship trembled, and then, in a huge explosion, it quickly ignited billowing smoke, and in the thick of black smoke, it began to sink slowly.

After all, it was a warship, and it was not blown to pieces by a one-ton warhead, but the big hole that had been blown open had already spread to the water, and it was pouring water with water, and it could not be rescued at all.

The British Navy, the most terrible scene, is being played out in front of everyone.

On the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, Rear Admiral Woodward felt his brain go blank.

He saw with his own eyes that the Shelfield was sunk, and he saw with his own eyes that the ships on the periphery sank one by one, and in the process, his own Sea Javelin missiles could not be fired.

That's right, as long as the radar can't lock onto the target, then it can't be fired, and even if it shoots out, it's futile.

"The Coventry has been hit!"

"Damn, there's a missile coming at us!"

In the midst of the exclamation, the captain shouted loudly: "Left full rudder!" ”

Can you dodge?

No one knows.

Bundles of platinum bars were thrown into the sky, forming a metal curtain composed of platinum bars, hoping to interfere with the opponent's missile line of sight and cover their own escape.

But when he saw the missile, it suddenly jumped up from the low sky, and the engine in the tail was still burning hotly, emitting a huge pillar of light, which was imprinted in everyone's eyes, and Woodward's face was already a dead ash.

The Granite missile is not easy to be interfered with, and when the Soviets developed this missile, they actually improved the original SS-N-12 missile, and the guidance system was more advanced, according to the Soviets' philosophy, as long as the launch power was large enough, it would work.

Moreover, after discovering that there was platinum bar interference on the opposite side, it actually climbed up and adopted the tactic of attacking the top!

The missile didn't arrive, the compressed air in front of the missile, forming the terrible sonic boom, was already heard, and then, when the head roared, the huge granite missile smashed down to the deck!

During World War II, the deck of an aircraft carrier was wooden, and it could really be smashed down with such a smash, but now, the deck of an aircraft carrier is of high strength, even harder than the shell of a submarine, comparable to the armor of the battleship era.

"Boom!" The semi-armor-piercing warhead smashed down hard, and when it came into contact with the battleship, the entire aircraft carrier sank downward under the huge impact force, compressing the surrounding sea water and splashing waves.

I saw that the top of this huge missile actually penetrated into the deck, but the lower part was stuck!

Under the collision, everyone stood unsteadily, in their consciousness, this seemed to be the last moment, and then, the missile exploded, because it had smashed through the deck, once the hangar below was blown up, those weapons, fuel and everything, would be burning, God could not bless.

Several people closed their eyes and waited for the final scene.

However, after a few seconds, they opened their eyes, and it turned out that it was a dud bomb, although it fell down, but it didn't explode?

"Thank God." Woodward said.

As soon as these words were finished, the second missile had already collided with the side position, and when it came into contact with the side of the warship, everyone's hearts were filled with despair again.

In the attack of missiles, there is a very important parameter, that is, how to determine the flagship of the opposing side?

If it is a single warship, then the missile only needs the missile radar to find the target and attack, but if it is a formation of dozens of ships, then it will face this problem.

In front of the radar, there are bright spots, which are difficult to determine, so they can only be determined by the strength of the radar echo.

Just now, when the entire missile formation was flying over, the leader at the top was also constantly assigning targets, determining the echo strength as the flagship, and according to the procedure, two missiles were allocated to attack it.

This is not called intelligence, but it is only executed through preset programs.

Now, the second missile, accurately smashed into it, and then, there was a violent explosion.

If it is an ordinary missile, such as Exocet and the like, even if it hits an aircraft carrier, it will not cause much damage, but this terrible supersonic anti-ship missile of the Soviet Union is specially prepared for aircraft carriers, even if it is a battleship with heavy armor during World War II, it can also get into it! Its energy is greater than the impact energy of that terrible 406 naval artillery shell!

"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded from the lower floor, and with the explosion, the top deck was also lifted, and the missile that was stuck on it suddenly fell.

"Boom!" The second explosion sounded, and when this explosion sounded, everyone closed their eyes, this aircraft carrier is already hopeless!

If you look at it from a distance, you can see the British aircraft carrier formation, as if it had been ambushed, one ship after another was hit, and those ships quickly entered the water, sank, and the sea was whirlpooled, and the ships disappeared.

It was too difficult for the sailors to get out of such a rapid sink, and many of the people who were stunned by the explosion, as well as those in the lower deck, did not have time to get out at all, and the ship had already sunk.

The aircraft carrier Ark Royal was also burning, and when the sound of the fourth martyrdom came out, the aircraft carrier was blown into two parts from the middle.

Woodward didn't get into the lifeboat, although he could escape, but what if he escaped with his life?

He was still standing on the bridge, sinking with the bridge towards the icy waters of the Atlantic.

Of the 20 missiles, 4 failed, only 16 achieved results, and the 15 ships that were hit had no possibility of being rescued at all and sank quickly.

The British formations, which had become loose.

The fighters in the sky, the pilots' eyes are full of fire, their Ark Royal has been sunk, and their battle is not over, the Argentine fighters are still on the way to bomb them, and they are fighting with other Tomcat fighters.

Kill, kill them all!

With anger, everyone turned the nose of the plane and flew towards the Argentine Air Force, and they also knew in their hearts that in fact, the battle that belonged to them was over.

The British Navy, defeated, they were defeated not at the hands of the Argentines, but at the hands of the Soviets! The Soviets used submarines for a sneak attack, these abominable Soviets!

It was the Soviets who took the initiative to provoke this war, this world war!

The Soviets wanted to intervene in the Falklands War, but the British Navy saw through it and bombed their bases first, and the Soviets retaliated and destroyed the British fleet, which provoked World War III.
