Chapter 412 Sinking
Ming Zhenxiong stared blankly at the raging fire rising from the Minsk through the bridge glass, but did not react for a long time.
He simply couldn't imagine it,
If this is an enemy attack, if this is not a target ship...
How serious the consequences will be!
"Dalian ship, confirm the battle damage immediately."
The voice from the communicator finally woke up Ming Zhenxiong, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
This order from the exercise headquarters showed that this was indeed an attack from the red side.
After thinking that this was an attack by his own weapons, the frustration of the failed defense mission disappeared immediately.
Instead, Ming Zhenxiong picked up the walkie-talkie with some excitement and replied: "Da Lian received it!"
Although he really wanted to know what kind of new fighter plane it was, he also knew that now was not the time or occasion to ask such questions...
After the thick smoke from the explosion initially dissipated, the damage results were quickly analyzed through visual inspection of the Minsk and monitoring data installed on the ship.
"Report is that a hole about 5 meters in diameter was blown out of the left rear quarter of the target ship. The power room was seriously damaged and slightly flooded. There is no risk of silence or rollover."
"There are two craters with a diameter of 3-5 meters on the deck. The runway is severely damaged and the aircraft's medium and long-distance gliding takeoff and landing functions are basically lost. However, helicopters and light fighter aircraft should still be able to fly. It is initially estimated that 70% of the combat capability is paralyzed. "
"Copy that, the exercise continues."
A wave of attacks from one aircraft can paralyze 70% of the combat power, and the initial combat goal has basically been achieved.
The entire process of this wave of exercises was also clearly recorded by the Mike Campbell not far away. Except for the attack by the aircraft, the rest was basically the same as the reminder just given by the Carl Vinson.
When he first heard the intelligence feedback from the Carl Vinson, Gilman almost thought that the communication channel had been hacked and that he had encountered a 'telecommunications fraud'.
It wasn't until the military exercises in China officially started that he finally believed that China had really built that ridiculously powerful unmanned fighter jet.
If China really wants to kill them, the current miserable situation of the Minsk is a reflection of the Carl Vinson.
Hua Guo used the simplest and most direct way to tell them the fact that sea power had come to an end!
Just when Gilman was still immersed in the shock, the radar soldier suddenly spoke again: "Report, a large number of flying objects were spotted in the northwest!"
Gilman was startled and quickly looked up at the big screen, and his pupils immediately dilated a bit.
According to the data on the screen, the speed of these flying objects is only 150KM/H, but they are so densely packed that radar cannot track them at all!
Looking at the distance again, Gilman immediately guessed that this must be a loitering missile launched from land.
The drone swarm tactics that China is proud of have finally begun!
Since these loitering bombs did not have stealth capabilities, they were discovered by them as soon as they were launched. However, the loitering bombs were originally a bright card. Their biggest function was to attract and consume the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and provide cover for the real killing move.
The reason why Mingpai is Mingpai is that you know its purpose and know that these are bargains, but you have to deal with it...
Otherwise, if you let them attack, you will still be injured.
Fortunately, the biggest disadvantage of this cheap product is that the flying speed is very slow, and the party being attacked has plenty of time to think about how to deal with it.
Next is basically the equipment show of China.
The defense formation of the Minsk first launched several anti-aircraft missiles, successfully intercepted several cruise missiles at a long distance, and then quietly waited for them to approach.
It is not cost-effective to use expensive anti-aircraft missiles to deal with cheap cruise missiles. Just symbolically show off the performance of anti-aircraft missiles to the opponent.
Not long after the first batch of drones took off, the red team launched four waves one after another based on the performance of the drones, ensuring that the five waves of attacks would arrive in the combat area at about the same time.
After three full hours, the distance between the dense swarm of drones and the Minsk finally reached 20 kilometers, and the defense formation began to launch defense.
They used anti-drone electromagnetic suppression, electromagnetic pulse weapons, laser weapons, and automatic close-in defense guns.
In the face of electromagnetic signal interference, the swarm can switch to an intelligent combat system. In the face of electromagnetic pulse weapons, a radiation shielding layer can be added. Although it will increase the cost of the drone, it is at least effective.
But laser weapons are the natural enemies of such low-speed drones, especially the large 50kw laser weapons provided by Kangchi, which basically kills one child per second.
However, they only have one laser weapon of this kind, and it feels like they are no match for four hands. Although the drone swarm is constantly losing troops, it still continues to charge forward from all directions, and the distance from the Minsk is also Keep getting closer.
In fact, if the blue side is given a few more laser weapons, it will definitely be impossible for these low and slow aircraft to break through, unless the swarm expands several times in size and swarms like real locusts.
But this is just a drill after all, and the purpose is just to show the opponent the weapons.
It is enough to let them know that we have not only created a sharp spear, but also a strong shield to restrain it.
Anyway, if they think about it casually, they know that it is impossible for China to build only one laser cannon of this kind.
Therefore, the command headquarters only equipped the blue team with one laser cannon, not wanting to kill its own bee colony...
"Bang——"
Under the saturation attack of thousands of drones of various types, the defense circle of the Minsk was ultimately unable to withstand it, and the fish that slipped through the net crashed into the Minsk like moths to a flame. On the hull of the ship, some cruise bombs even very intelligently bombed the sides and waterline of the ship.
Boom——
At the moment when the swarm successfully broke through the defense, the final killing move finally came as expected.
First, a YJ-21 anti-ship missile penetrated more than a dozen cabins of the Minsk at a speed of Mach 10. The violent explosion caused from the inside of the hull directly gutted the Minsk.
But it's not over yet.
A DF-41 equipped with a conventional warhead struck at the gap opened by JY-21 at a speed of Mach 20. The violent explosion severely deformed the Minsk's hull. Although it was not directly broken, at this moment It was barely supported by several layers of skin, and it looked like it might disintegrate into two halves at any time...
Seeing such a shocking scene, Gilman on the Mike Campbell suddenly fell silent.
In fact, this was also the first time for him to witness the power of YJ and DF missiles at such a close distance...
Given the current state of the Minsk, it would only take a few hours for the Minsk to sink.
Although this target ship is old and its hull strength is definitely much worse than that of an advanced aircraft carrier that is normally maintained,
But no one can guarantee that after withstanding such an attack, his performance will be much better than that of the Minsk...
Facts have proved that sinking an aircraft carrier is not as difficult as imagined.
It doesn't take 25 days, just a wave of swarms and two hypersonic missiles can send it to the bottom of the sea!
