Chapter 779 Hit the Invincible
The Atlantic Transporter is a merchant ship with a displacement of 1,495 tons and a voyage of 2 knots. %1 After being requisitioned by the Navy, the merchant ship was moving fast. Since this is a container ship, the front deck is straight, so a take-off and landing area is set up at the front of the deck, which can be used for take-off of the Sea Harriers. In the middle, containers are raised on both sides to become a cargo box, and more than a dozen Sea Harriers vertical take-off and landing fighters are placed inside. At the same time, there is a take-off and landing platform behind the merchant ship.
In this attack, the British had only two aircraft carriers, carrying more than 30 sea harriers. However, when they arrived at the war zone, the British could use more sea harriers than these.
Because the British transformed and expanded many merchant ships. For example, this very good transport ship can carry more than a dozen sea harriers, which is also a good carrier-based aircraft detachment.
Unfortunately, the amphibious ship transformed with a merchant ship is ultimately incomparable to a real aircraft carrier. For example, now, when a flying fish attacks the merchant ship on the sea, the captain has no other way except to open his eyes!
The flying fish pierced the belly of the Atlantic transporter and hit the target accurately! Then, the transport ship with a displacement of over 10,000 tons caught fire and carried out the most tragic scene.
When the flying fish hit the warship, a Sea Harrier fighter was struggling to take off the deck. Pilot Mikeson's eyes were full of anger.
This transport ship is loaded with a lot of supplies from the Expeditionary Fleet, such as tents for five people; at least ten helicopters, including the Chinook helicopter of the 18th Squadron of the Royal Air Force, which is the most important heavy helicopter of the fleet, as well as six Wessex helicopters of the 848th Squadron of the Royal Navy and one Bobcat helicopter of the 815th Squadron; the motives and other spare parts of the Sea Harrier fighter, a set of desalination equipment and raw materials for building mobile runways for the Sea Harrier fighter.
The explosion continued to spread, and Captain Iannos watched the fire sweeping, and he could no longer leave after he watched the command tower!
The warships hit were unfortunate, and the greatest luck was that the two aircraft carriers were still unscathed and were not hit by flying fish!
A large number of platinum strips were released in the air, forming countless radar waves on the water surface, interfering with the locking and guidance of the flying fish. Several helicopters also activated the interference system specifically targeting the flying fish. Before leaving, the French could not withstand the pressure and leaked the parameters of the flying fish's active radar seeker to the UK. The British urgently created the interference pod, which could be mounted on the helicopter.
The interference failed some flying fish, but some flying fish still did not change their flight trajectory and were flying towards the direction of the aircraft carrier!
Damn it! On the Invincible, the British Navy was extremely angry. At the moment the battle began, their radar was disturbed! The entire aircraft carrier formation relied on the air defense of the sea target! Now, this one cannot lock in the target and shoot at all! It has led to the lack of the greatest defensive power!
Without the sea target, the British aircraft carrier formation is almost facing a one-sided attack! Now, facing a flying fish, the Invincible aircraft carrier can only rely on a 114mm naval gun to shoot at the air!
If it is a caliber naval gun, the firing rate will be faster, and you can also perform the final interception. The most famous one is the dense array system of the United States! And now, the naval gun has not had any effect. This flying fish circled a few beautiful S-shaped maneuvers, and then hit it hard one meter above the waterline of the Invincible!
"Boom!" A huge explosion came.
In fact, these flying fish were not maintained in the hands of the Argentine Navy. For example, some warheads would not be detonated. The flying fish that was attacked this time actually had one hanging under the Phantom 1 fighter, but it couldn't be shot out! However, overall, the flying fish could still easily penetrate the British Navy's protective net!
In particular, the flying fish that successfully hit the Invincible aircraft carrier, and the warhead successfully detonated! The 165-kilogram warhead tore open the shell of the Invincible ship's side, and a large hole with a diameter of half a meter appeared!
He was hit! Fortunately, this part is the cabin stored in the whole ship of the Danshui, which is full of fresh water. If it is the cabin next door, it will be oil! As long as this one deviates from two meters and hits the oil tank, the aircraft carrier will soon be surrounded by fires all over the sky!
"Quick, close the damaged compartment and carry out damage control!" the captain shouted loudly. When the sound of hitting the hull was clearly transmitted to everyone on the ship's ears, they instinctively trembled. Then, as well as well-trained soldiers, they immediately reacted.
If you don’t take action immediately, this aircraft carrier will sink! And if this aircraft carrier sinks, then you don’t have to fight anymore, just forget it!
Being able to have a family is already a luxury, and then you may have to be buried here.
At this time, the Sea Harrier fighter jets had also taken off more than a dozen of them. They opened up their after-effects without hesitation and flew towards the direction of the Argentine attack!
When they turned on the airborne radar, four or five fighter jets climbed up from low altitude at the same time. These fighter jets also turned on their afterburners and quickly accumulated energy.
Pilot Tarif, while climbing, used his own airborne radar to accurately lock the Sea Harrier fighter flying from the opposite side. That kind of useless fighter is now used by the British as a treasure! This battle is really unsuspecting!
As a pilot from Iraq, Tarif has already had a shot down result, and this time, he cannot give up the opportunity to make a record! In particular, as hiring pilots, they have signed a good agreement in advance. If they can shoot down an enemy plane, they can get a reward of 50,000 US dollars.
Locking the target and pressing the shooting button, middle-range combat is the most boring! Looking at the white smoke sliding by under the wings, Tarif actually felt like a hero is invincible.
Almost at the same time, Mikeson, a pilot of the Sea Harrier fighter on the opposite side, heard the sharp radar alarm receiver in the headset, and was locked by the other party! Damn it, it was the radar lock! Is the other party going to shoot the middle distance air-opening? (To be continued.)
