Chapter 1513: Abandoned Lightning

"General, all the tankers nearby are too late."

When the communication soldier saw that all the big shots were discussing what shot down twelve Lightning tankers, he said in a low voice.

This sentence drew everyone to the really important event at the moment, and Gertney couldn't get angry at the moment, but said with some sadness: "Let the nearest submarine pass."

Everyone in the La Salle fell silent after hearing Gertney's words. Although there was no clear order for the Lightning fleet to give up, these words have directly announced the fate of the Lightning fleet.

If the Lightning fighter on the Ford was a model that could take off and land vertically, there would be no such situation at all. If you find an island at random, even if it is difficult, you can land a few of them at least.

However, the Lightning carrier-based aircraft on the Ford is not a vertical short-range take-off and landing model purchased by the United Kingdom. It is an aircraft carrier or a normal airport that needs to be ejected to take off and block the landing.

The aviation fuel is exhausted, surrounded by the endless sea, to meet the fate of the lightning fleet, the pilot escapes, the plane self-destructs, and then let the submarine go to salvage the pilot and return.

Letting the submarine out is equivalent to announcing that all Lightning carrier-based pilots are ready to escape and self-destruct the plane.

The Lightning fighter project, which is known as the most expensive fighter project in history, has just been born, and it is facing actual battles one after another.

On the Israeli battlefield, twelve Lightning fighters were killed silently.

On the battlefield of the Iraq-Syria Federation air strikes, it is definitely another shame that the US fourth-generation fighter jets cannot erase.

This has caused many countries that originally wanted to buy Lightning fighter jets to show expressions of little interest.

After all, the Lightning fighter jets have appeared now, except after three months of arrogance on the Iranian battlefield, they have always been beaten when they encountered the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.

What's more, the Iraqi-Syrian Federation does not have the so-called fourth-generation fighter jets, and the fourth-generation fighter jets of the US military are constantly falling into the sand. The reputation at home and abroad has plummeted. The upsurge has risen, and the international community has even begun to re-recognize the strength of the US military.

Under such circumstances, they managed to save face with the help of the Lightning carrier-based aircraft on the USS Ford aircraft carrier, but they did not expect that such an accident would occur in the future.

The Lightning carrier-based aircraft on the USS Ford,

That is seventy-two, plus twelve partner tankers, and the entire Lightning fleet that can't return, there are still twelve Lightning fighters that can fight on the Ford.

The NATO Indian Ocean Fleet has four aircraft carriers, two Nimitz ships, one Ford, and one French Charles de Gaulle. At this moment, it can almost be announced that the most powerful Ford has lost its combat effectiveness.

Especially in front of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation Navy, the twelve Lightning fighter jets could not cause much trouble at all.

In this battle, the entire United States has consciously put the Iraqi-Syrian Federation on an equal footing with itself. If it is against a general third world country, twelve Lightning carrier-based aircraft are enough to destroy a country's national defense system up.

But facing a strong opponent like the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, even 120 planes are not enough.

In the face of such a powerful opponent, the Ford can already withdraw from the battle, and its strength can no longer play a key role in this war.

However, at this time, it is naturally impossible to let the Ford withdraw. In Gertney's view, twelve Lightning fighters are more effective than a wing of F-18 Super Hornets, and they must not be wasted.

The most important thing is that the Iraqi-Syrian Federation Navy also lost an aircraft carrier, and now there is still one aircraft carrier that can be used, so there is no need to worry about anything.

What really worries Gertney is what exactly shot down the twelve Lightning tankers. If it is not clear, there may not be enough fighter jets to take off by then.

This information, which was also labeled as confidential, was sent directly to the Pentagon. This is extremely critical war information.

Otherwise, the entire sky is dangerous for U.S. fighter jets.

However, for the abandoned Lightning fleet, none of this has anything to do with them.

When the pilots of each Lightning carrier-based aircraft received the order, they all reluctantly flew towards the nearest submarine with the help of the last fuel.

The brand new Lightning fighter, the youngest one, has not even flown for 20 hours after it was officially installed. Now it is necessary to manually explode these extremely expensive fighters, and no one will be willing to bear it.

What's more, there was no need for the more than twenty Lightning carrier-based aircraft to self-destruct in such a way.

However, they don't know that even if they don't blow themselves up and have enough fuel, it is still impossible to go back.

Going up above their heads, another super MiG driven by Natasha has been monitoring their flight. Once there is any turning point, they will be destroyed without mercy.

But it's not necessary now, Natasha adjusted the holographic camera to always focus on the lightning fleet.

The Lightning aircraft fleet, whose altitude continued to drop, could no longer hold on any longer. After kissing their beloved car goodbye, the pilots of the Lightning carrier-based aircraft all ejected and escaped, watching from a distance and taxiing out. Fighter, self destruct.

Many U.S. carrier-based aircraft pilots also shed tears. No one can bear the destruction of such an expensive and advanced fighter jet.

At this time, the Super MiG driven by Cai Ruichen also came here, just in time to see the scene where the lightning fleet exploded.

To defeat an aircraft carrier battle group, sometimes it is not necessary to sink the aircraft carrier. It is only necessary to make the aircraft carrier have no carrier-based aircraft to take off and fight, which is tantamount to destroying the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier battle group.

It's just that since modern warfare, the difficulty of destroying all the carrier-based aircraft of an aircraft carrier fighter is even more difficult than destroying the aircraft carrier battle group itself, and the price to be paid is even greater.

Cai Ruichen did not choose to attack the NATO fleet, but first killed the opponent's most powerful stealth carrier-based aircraft, fundamentally continuing to weaken the combat capability of the US aircraft carrier.

In the next battle, he will not directly attack the U.S. fleet, but will leave the decisive battle to the Red Police Navy. He and Natasha will at most continue to take on the task of fighting the autumn wind.

And when this sea battle came, his eyes had already been fixed on all the early warning aircraft on the periphery of the US fleet.
