    "All attack trajectories confirmed, 46 targets, strike wave I launched," the weapons officer on the Skyhawk arsenal battlecruiser shouted. The front-end vertical launch unit of this powerful 660-ton ship continuously released Thorn anti-aircraft missiles  , straight into the sky.

    Flying at speeds of up to several Mach, these missiles can approach their targets in a very short period of time. Even if the incoming U.S. fighter planes do not concentrate in one airspace, but attack from multiple directions, these sensitive and intelligent missiles  , can still easily lock on US military fighters.

    "TcmnuTcmnu, be careful and avoid it," the US military pilots shouted. Many of them returned to the aircraft carrier from the Tianlong fleet to reload fuel and bombs before taking off again for missions. They were already very tired, but this wave of terrifying missile attacks still made them  They woke up from the trance they had just been in.

    US military pilots still follow their own experience and release aluminum foil that can interfere with active radar guidance, enter FCN countermeasures, and at the same time perform instinctive large-angle maneuvers to avoid missiles.  However, evasion at this time may not be effective. When panicked, some pilots will even send themselves into the missile's killing radius.

    But today the pilots of the US military were obviously not very lucky. They encountered a terrible missile that they had never encountered before.

    "Damn, the engine of the missile is still running. It's the kind of super anti-aircraft missile launched by the arsenal ship." A pilot who had fought against the Tianlong before exclaimed.  Conventional active radar-guided air-control missiles, including anti-aircraft missiles and air-to-air missiles, have actually shut down their engines after flying for a certain distance, and these missiles will not directly hit the aircraft, but use fragmentation warheads to attack the aircraft.  Kill.

    However, the Thorn is a subversive anti-aircraft missile. This new missile is not much larger than an ordinary anti-aircraft missile. The engine is running from launch to hitting the target, and it has extremely strong maneuverability. Even if the fighter planes continue to  The missile will fly out of the ground and perform a large overload maneuver, and the missile may even briefly lose its target. However, when the missile scans the target again, it will still lock on to it and carry out a fatal attack.

    After this missile was jointly launched by the Red Alert Base and the Black Technology Research Center, the Air Force once called it a "missile that will not miss". Natural thorns are not foolproof. Where there is a spear, there is a shield. The Air Force itself has also found out  Methods such as active stealth to avoid radar locking and ultra-powerful electromagnetic jamming to destroy the guidance head are used to deal with this missile. However, the US military currently has neither of these methods, so the thorn is a nightmare that the US military cannot escape.

    I saw a US military pilot driving a B18 Hornet rolling crazily. Even the maneuvers caused him to have black vision, but the flexible missile easily hit the big hornet again after going around in a circle.  The belly of a Wasp.

    Only a relatively small number of Thorn missiles missed their targets, while most of the missiles hit their targets, and there were not even several cases of multiple missiles hitting the same target.  Just such a wave of anti-aircraft missile attacks wiped out more than 30 US military fighters. The powerful Aegis air defense system of the arsenal ship revealed its ferocious face. Like the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, no enemy can break through.  Her defense.

    "Wave 2 preparation, launch"

    Another round of anti-aircraft missiles struck. There was basically no fighter of our own to protect the airspace above this surface ship assault formation. It was completely an air defense umbrella held up by the arsenal ship in conjunction with several Aegis ships, and even though the US military launched hundreds of sorties  Attacks by fighter planes are difficult to shake this artifact-like warship.

    In fact, in each wave of attacks, the arsenal ship rarely launches more than 6 anti-aircraft missiles. Although the Type 0ll arsenal ship can attack hundreds of targets at the same time, the redundancy is left to allow the warship system to better control the missiles.  Better hit rate, after all, within a range of more than 20 kilometers, the warship's radar and system play a very important role in guiding the missile in the early stages of missile launch.

    The US military has hundreds of fighter jets ready to launch an attack on the Liu Rengui battleship formation, but within such a short distance of 20 kilometers, the Tianying arsenal ship can fire four consecutive waves of anti-aircraft missiles. The high hit rate makes the US military fighter jets look like  Mosquitoes hit by insecticide fell downward one after another.

    However, the US military is not completely powerless to fight back. Although many weapons are still unable to be used within a distance of 20 kilometers, anti-ship missiles such as Harpoon and SRAM can already be launched. The US military specializes in launching anti-ship missiles.  Some of the fighter planes even dropped these anti-ship missiles and immediately turned around and flew back without caring about further guidance, fearing that they would be shot down by the Chinese's terrifying missiles.

    On the battleship Liu Rengui, the Red Alert Captain ordered: "Enter the process defense combat mode and activate the solid-state laser weapon countermeasure system."

    The Shogun-class battleship has a very retro complex. In addition to two triple-mounted 40Umm Shirakata electromagnetic cannons, it is also equipped with ten L130 close-in defense cannons, 10 E-36 close-in defense missile launchers, and four short-range laser cannons.  On the one hand, these close-defense weapons can provide the last layer of absolute defense for general-class battleships, and on the other hand?It can provide battleships with the ability to strike relatively short-range surface targets.

    The U.S. military dropped at least a dozen anti-ship missiles in one go, all targeting the largest battleship Liu Rengui. The fleet of battleships was not afraid of such a scale of cruise missile attack. The outermost cruisers and destroyers were the first to use this missile.  The ship's air defense weapons can deal with these missiles, and the arsenal ship beside the battleship also has strong close defense capabilities.  Not to mention the battleship itself.

    Most of the more than ten anti-ship missiles were shot down by the other four ships. To deal with these harpoons of the US military, the Chinese Navy has done very thorough research, and the success rate of close defense weapons is very high. The last two missiles that attacked the battleship were  Shot down by name by the laser cannon with the fastest reaction.

    These laser weapons are not light prism cannons, but close-defense weapons developed by the Black Technology Center. Although the range is not long and may be affected by the weather, the response is quite fast, after all, the propagation speed of light is there.  Its positioning is to supplement the omissions between close-in defense guns and close-in defense missiles. Because of its short reaction time and fast attack speed, it can form the most dense and reliable short-range defense network for battleships.

    This wave of anti-ship missile attacks was the only attack that the US aviation force could use. The arsenal ship launched missiles one after another to knock down the incoming US fighter jets from the sky. Fargo also knew that such an attack would be impossible to shake the fleet.  , the limits of China's arsenal ships have not yet been tested, which makes him even more worried.
