Chapter 1512 Destroying the Hope of the Lightning Fleet
There was no gain for an hour, so Cai Ruichen thought it was just listening to people chatting, and passed the boring time of this hour.
Of course, it is not true that there is no gain at all. At least let Cai Ruichen understand that the combatants at the grassroots level of the US military have complaints and incomprehension about this war.
You can feel a faint anti-war sentiment from it. After all, the Pentagon is very uncomfortable when this war has progressed to such a point, let alone these soldiers who are fighting on the front line.
Among the U.S. military, there are not many people who can really fight for honor and national interests.
And in Washington, the Future Technology Group also maintained the lives of 8 million people and won the favor of many Americans.
Even since the outbreak of the war, there has been no public opinion and voice against the Future Technology Group in the United States. Even if there is, it will soon be submerged in other public opinions. Most of the people in the United States will not accept it. Talk stubble.
Among the U.S. military, there are also many military families living near the Washington circle, which also makes the military's morale fluctuate a little bit.
After all, everyone is afraid. If this war continues, what will happen to the eight million people who have been poisoned once the Future Technology Group stops providing antibody pharmaceutical assistance to the United States?
Once the war goes on, no one can say badly.
Although this war broke out only a few days ago, the voices against the war are already very high in the United States.
The failure of the war did not make ordinary Americans willing to continue fighting, because in the eyes of most Americans, this war should not have broken out at all, and even the Iran War should not have broken out.
The increase in military spending and the consumption of war have also greatly affected the welfare, work and income of ordinary American citizens.
To put it bluntly, it is difficult for a war that does not really threaten the security of the United States to gain the support of all American citizens.
What's more, the relationship between Future Technology Group and the United States has always been good. The Congress is also very disappointed with the development of this war. In addition, there are many opposition voices within the US military. The pressure is going on.
These are places that can be used in the future, and some things are also the result of Cai Ruichen's deliberate promotion.
"The distance between the two sides is 100 kilometers, and the Lightning fleet has already started gliding with the help of air, and it is predicted that the fuel remaining will not exceed 2%.
"
After receiving the message from Natasha, Cai Ruichen immediately started to act.
After hanging behind the Lightning tanker for nearly an hour, it was time for the Lightning fleet to completely despair.
At the same time, on the U.S. command ship USS LaSalle, all U.S. staff officers also smiled after receiving the news that the two fleets were about to meet.
Gertney, who was still very angry just now, also showed a little smile.
Under the current situation, the Lightning fleet had enough time to refuel and returned to the fleet smoothly.
Otherwise, if a wing of Lightning fighters is really lost, then the Ford aircraft carrier will also lose half of its combat effectiveness.
After all, there are no carrier-based drones on the current Ford. All the combat power comes from the Lightning fighter fleet on the ship, and there are only 72 of them, deducting the 48 of the entire carrier-based aircraft wing. Then there are twenty-four left.
There is one third of the carrier-based aircraft capable of combat. Measured by the US military's operational rules, it is already possible to declare that the Ford aircraft carrier has lost the ability to continue combat and can withdraw from the combat sequence.
But everyone on the LaSalle hadn't kept their smiles on for a minute, and the news from the early warning aircraft made everyone extremely horrified.
Just when it was sent back that the two sides were about to contact, it only took ten minutes to complete the aerial refueling.
But a minute later, another news came. The twelve Lightning tankers, just like the three tankers before, suddenly disappeared from the radar signal and communication channel of the early warning plane.
And during the whole process, the twelve Lightning fighter jets didn't even send any news back, as if they evaporated completely in the sky in an instant.
At the same time, the lightning fleet also sent a message, losing contact with the tanker, asking what happened?
"Asshole, this must be the fault of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation." Gertney smashed the map table next to him, and said angrily.
Three brand new tankers suddenly disappeared, and now there are twelve Lightning fighter jets. Apart from the Iraq-Syria Federation, there is no other possibility.
The most important thing is that the suddenness and nature of the disappearance of the two tanker fleets are exactly the same.
It's just that Gertney couldn't figure out how the Iraqi-Syrian Federation silently killed those tankers under the monitoring of the early warning aircraft.
They even made two calls to the tanker, but no news came back.
"What's found on the satellite?" A staff officer on the side asked.
"All satellites that have passed this place before have been connected, and the image will come out immediately."
As the sound fell, high-definition satellite photos were also quickly spit out from the printing device of the warship command center.
Soon, several bright two points in the sky attracted everyone's attention.
"This should be the picture of the fighter jet exploding when it was destroyed, and the lightning that is making evasive actions can also be seen on the picture..." A staff officer picked up the satellite photo and glanced at it, and then said: "But I didn't see the attacking missile. , and no signs of enemy aircraft were found."
As more and more satellite pictures were printed out, a relatively complete event process was soon formed.
During the flight, the twelve Lightning tankers seemed to have been attacked. After the two Lightning fighters exploded suddenly, and immediately after the other fighters made evasive actions, they all exploded in the air one after another.
During the entire attack, there were less than a hundred pictures in the pictures taken by satellites.
The military satellite of the US military can take nearly 20 photos every second, which is equivalent to cutting the video screens of 20 frames per second one by one.
But the most important problem is that the attacker is not seen on the whole screen, isn't this a strange thing.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this might be a supernatural event, but in the command center, after seeing these pictures, many people immediately thought of laser weapons.
They are all personnel with access to advanced core military science and technology, and they also know how terrifying the directed energy weapons installed on the second Ford-class aircraft carrier are.
However, there is another problem, even if it is a laser weapon, it must have a source of emission!
