On May 4, 1982, in the South Atlantic, 100 nautical miles north of the Malvinas [Falkland] Islands, a sizable fleet cruised.

British Empire Task Force.

The British issued a proclamation to the world on April 12: "From 4 o'clock GMT on April 12, the waters around the Falkland Islands [Malvinas] shall be a no-sail zone for 200 nautical miles, and no foreign ships shall be allowed to enter." ”

On 28 April, the British went further: "From 11 a.m. GMT on April 0, the Falkland no-sail zone has been upgraded to a no-sail zone in the air and sea, and all ships and aircraft entering this area will be attacked by British forces." ”

Two days earlier, at nearly 4 p.m. on May 2, the British nuclear submarine USS Conqueror had torpedoed the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano outside the no-sail zone in the Falklands. The bloody facts proved that the British were not telling Downing Street jokes.

The arc of the task force looked like a large onion, well, a large onion that had been cut in half to be exact.

A large onion over 40 nautical miles in size that has been cut in half.

Adopting this "spicy-eyed" defensive formation, Rear Admiral Woodward, the commander of the fleet, can be said to have racked his brains - after all, the British Imperial Navy lacks the ability to provide long-range air early warning at all times and all times.

The Type 42 Sheffield-class destroyers are the outer layer of the onion, the inner layer is a mixture of older destroyers and frigates, the number is four, and the inner part is two Type 22 Broadsword-class frigates, all of which are designed to protect the innermost "onion core" - the only two aircraft carriers of the British, the Hermes [H" and the "Invincible [Nible]".

If you look at the entire task force with the concept of modern football created by the British. Then, the task force came up with a -4-2 formation with a Type 42 destroyer as the vanguard, four mixed ships as the field, and two Type 22 frigates as the rear guard and goalkeeper.

However, this -4-2 formation, which "sends off a player at the beginning", no matter how you look at it, does not match the "solid defense......

But there is no way, after all, this is what the Royal Navy in the 1980s could only get out of with the strength of milk.

The Type 42 destroyer "Sheffield" on the left, the Cautrus on the right, and the "Glasgow" on the right, together as the vanguard of the task force, a good brother who was cleaving the waves in rather difficult sea conditions, and the distance between them was about 10 nautical miles.

"Intercept suspicious xìnhào! The direction is! ”

The electronic warfare operator of the combat intelligence heart of the "Glasgow" suddenly reported.

"The radome is accurate!" The head of electronic warfare quickly gave instructions.

xìnhào did not reappear, and the air defense radar did not find anything, everything as if nothing had happened.

"Glasgow" quickly reported this information to the commander of the air defense of the task force on the flagship "Invincible".

Perhaps it was due to the fact that the nervous Royal Navy boys had been making too many fancy false positives and false reports for some time, and the air defense commander on duty made a judgment that was proved absolutely wrong by later history.

Because he said: "This is a deceptive fake xìnhào. ”

In fact, this is one of the "fùchóu birds", a radar detection issued by the Super Flag Attack in order to launch the flying fish dǎodàn.

Neptune propeller electronic warfare reconnaissance, which supported and guided the attack for the advance intelligence of the Super Flag Tígòng, indicated the exact location of the target for the last time at 10:05: "52 degrees and 55 seconds south, 50 degrees 40 minutes and 55 seconds west longitude." ”

After the "Fùchóu Bird" super military flag took off from the base in Argentina, it has been following the information of the Neptune electronic warfare reconnaissance tígòng to turn on the automatic guided flight mode of the target on the flight. The Super Flag Twin Formation began to lower its altitude 160 nautical miles away from the target area and flew at an ultra-low altitude to skim the sea.

At 10:50, the "fùchóu bird" super military flag attack from the state of ultra-low altitude penetration climbed altitude for the first time, the radar was turned on, and the first time sǎomiáo did not find the target in the established area.

The super flag descended to a height of about 0 meters, and the very exciting Tihai advanced about 40 kilometers, this time it jumped to a height of 50 meters, and the radar developed a detection for the second time, and this time, the radar sǎomiáo, which lasted for several seconds, finally found 4 targets, one size. The pilot lowered the altitude again and made a quiet listening to the beautiful man - while the pilots were busy feeding valuable target data into the fire control system.

The two fùchóu birds were now within 40 nautical miles of the task force's forward.

The two brave fùchóu birds continued their terminal penetration, further narrowing the distance of the attack [about 0 nautical miles], then climbing to an altitude of 160 meters, the last radar was turned on, and finally the target was locked, and the pilot pressed the button to launch the flying fish dǎodàn. In the end, the two Super Flags climbed altitude, turned and detached, and began to return home.

At this time, Colonel Salter, the captain of the left winger of the task force "Sheffield", happened to use the satellite Diànhuà to communicate with London, because of electromagnetic compatibility problems, the ship's Type 966 long-range air warning radar had to be on standby at this time. Even so, Star Officer Nick Baso received a report from the Combat Intelligence Heart.

"Spotted Unknown Fly!"

This information comes from the Type 909 radar, which is still in operation, and its detection range is relatively close.

"What's the situation?" Blaser was skeptical, because there was a report to come.

"The target is gone!"

"The target is gone!" A short message, but there can be many interpretations. The first is that the target really disappeared, and secondly, it can also be interpreted as the target is far away, and of course it can also be said to be a false alarm - just like what the air defense commander just said to the "Glasgow".

"There may be anomalies, pay attention to observation." Captain Basso informed Captain Walpole, who had been designated as a temporary observation post because of his long-range radar standby.

Bassel turned around and continued to analyze the situation: Is it the enemy or me? Or...... Nothing? Another false alarm......

After a while, Captain Walpole, who was looking out on the bridge, really noticed an "anomaly".

Two clouds of flying smoke, accompanied by flashes......

A little earlier than Captain Walpole, the abnormality was discovered by the electronic equipment on the warship - a directional radar of unknown origin locked onto the ship!

The duty officer immediately switched the ship's air defense system to working condition, but it will definitely take time for a whole set of reaction procedures to be carried out. In this way, there is not much real time left for the air defense system to finally solve the problem......

"My God! It's dǎodàn! Captain Walpole exclaimed, as if thunder had risen on the ground.

At this time, Captain Salter also saw something flying over!

“r！” The captain's hoarse roar echoed across the battleship!

Within seconds, the Sheffield had a ...... Destined for a passionate intimate encounter! Very violent!

Boom! Bang! Well! Comes with a glitter!

Now "Sheffield the Glitter" lives up to its name! 19
