Chapter 195 Flying Fish Attack (4)
Avshael looked out through the glass window of the bridge, and found nothing in the dark night sky.
Suddenly, a tiny light, like a firefly in the darkness, existed clearly, although small.[]
The light gradually grew bigger, and Avshare's pupils suddenly expanded. The fire was the missile flying in!
At this time, it had dropped to a height of only two meters from the sea surface and was flying in at a speed of Mach 0.8.
"Left full rudder, dodge!" Avshare let out a crazy roar.
At the same time, a frigate on the back side had also discovered the incoming missile and was moving at full speed to meet it, hoping to use its hull to block the missile for the largest warship of the Iranian Navy.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The end guidance system of Feiyu missile and the high-performance active radar have firmly locked the behemoth, and the semi-armor-piercing delay blasting warhead has been fixedly targeted.
At this time, the Babur class was still making the final effort, drawing an arc on the sea surface, making a maximum overload turn, the hull had been tilted, and at the same time, several 23mm rapid-fire cannons had begun to be launched aimlessly on the sea surface.
Everything is in vain.
If it was a heavy armored battleship in World War II era, this missile would not be a threat at all. But now it is an ordinary destroyer, but it is just an ordinary alloy steel hull, which was penetrated by the armor-piercing warhead of the Feiyu missile.
Because of the turn, the Feiyu missile hit the back of the hull, which happened to be the location of the steam boiler.
After the missile drilled through the hull, a time-delay blast occurred in the warhead after one second, and the 42kg high-explosion inside was burning violently.
If the critical part was hit, if the damage control capability of this warship built in the 1940s was stronger, if the boiler did not explode... Finally, when Avshare was fished up by the frigate, so many ifs were gone.
The air-to-sea search warning radar did not find the target, and the standard air defense missile did not work. The Babul class with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons was hit by a flying fish missile and drilled into the power compartment, which exploded, and then caused an explosion to explode in a main boiler that generated steam. The hull was blown to both ends. Except for the soldiers on the upper cabin and deck escaped, none of the officers and soldiers in the power compartment survived.
The Babur class suffered such severe injuries. Within half an hour, before dawn, it had already sunk into the sea. At this time, there were less than a hundred nautical miles away from the Fao Peninsula.
This assault formation of the Iranian Navy has fallen into despair.
On the vast sea and in the dark night sky, Iraq's attack seemed to have bright eyes, so easily sent the largest destroyer in the formation, the Babul-class destroyer that was responsible for stopping the opponent's air strike during the day the next day. The action that was originally planned and thought was foolproof has now died in the middle.
Are they still landing as planned? Obviously, Iraq's Fao Peninsula is no longer empty. They have already discovered their own goal, so they have used their trump card, a missile, to send the largest air defense ship into the sea. Can the other two frigates bear it? And those landing ships, those soldiers who are ready to go, all have to be buried in the sea with the warships?
Avshare asked for instructions from the rear. Hashmian, who received the news, sat down blankly. This time it was not only a military defeat, but also a political situation, he would be isolated.
Why should Khomeini believe him? Isn’t it because he is an outstanding military commander? Now, military is not good anymore. So, can those guys around the leaders who have never been disgusted with him let him go?
However, Hashmian did not take a single gamble and let the formation launch a desperate attack. He knew that the operation was noticed by the Iraqis, so it would be in vain to launch another attack.
If Hashmian knew that the Iraqi Air Force had only this flying fish missile, and it was for testing, the rest would not be shipped in a few months. I wonder if he would regret his prudence.
When Hamad returned, there was a crowd of warmly welcomed people on the ground, especially those engineers from France, who were even more happy.
Although the Flying Fish Missile has been in service for several years, there is no maritime conflict in France. Although it has exerted great power many times during the exercises, it still has not received much response.
This time, a missile killed Iran's largest destroyer, and even the standard US-made air defense missile did not respond. This missile has proved to the world that France can manufacture the world's best weapons.
The engineers who had not closed their eyes for dozens of hours were full of excitement.
At the same time, they had already sent the news back to China as soon as possible, and this record must be widely publicized.
Due to Zhang Feng's time travel, history has deviated again. The legal flying fish missile, which had to be famous in the Cambodia War, has appeared in the eyes of various experts in advance.
Iraq, Southern Military Region Command.
"This time, a flying fish missile killed Iran's largest warship. This missile has a very good performance. We should be equipped with more equipment."
"His Excellency Kusai is really a god-like prediction. He visited Europe and bought this kind of missile and established a magical achievement. Otherwise, our Air Force would not know how many bombs we would drop to blow up such a large destroyer."
"Everyone, the most important thing for us now is to fight a beautiful counterattack while guarding our current territory!" Zhang Feng interrupted these flattering voices and said heavily.
In fact, as for this time, the other party's commander was definitely a commanding wizard. He first launched joint air-ground operations and prepared to attack the Fao Peninsula. His bold and feasible ideas were shattered one by one, and he also felt that heroes cherish each other.
Of course, if it were Zhang Feng himself, he would definitely choose to attack the Falau Peninsula. However, he would not choose to use those warships, which was too conspicuous. Later generations of super-limit warfare theory told him that disguised as civilians would be more concealed.
Choose a few tankers and lean on the Fao Peninsula in a big way. First, use the capable special forces to control various strategic locations, and then add large forces to occupy the Fao Peninsula, which can help to play a more surprising role.
Even during the Iran-Iraq War, there were many oil tankers from various countries docking on the French Peninsula.
However, reality will not give Hashmian a second chance. This surprise attack that could have turned the situation around was completely shattered under the blow of a flying fish.
