Chapter 873: Unlockable Target

The sea southeast of Chagos, about 2o nautical miles above the US military base. Ethereal.2.

Four A-1O "Thunderbolt II" attack planes pierced the clouds and flew towards the base on the island, and night flights have long been accustomed to US Navy pilots who have been carrying out actual combat missions all over the world all year round, especially in the Gulf region, a place where air power is relatively backward, and the arrogant US Navy pilots will not take those Middle Eastern country counterparts flying backward MiG planes in their eyes at all, and they will even chew chewing gum, choose to fly close to the sea, and then suddenly appear in the wound of the target. After dropping the guided bomb, he laughed and left, using almost ridiculous tactics to defy the air forces of Middle Eastern countries that were half a century behind.

Tonight, led by Captain Targaryen, a flight squadron of the Navy, who seemed a little uneasy, even nervous.

Tonight's mission is unlike usual. Half an hour before their takeoff, Karl. The captain of the USS Vincennes, Colonel Mendes, personally went to the combat mission room to give a mission briefing.

When the whiteboarded veteran stepped into the door of the briefing room, the Targaryens, who knew the rules well, muttered something in a low voice.

“Funetbsp; The new pilot next to him quietly asked the Targaryen what was going on, and the Targaryen rolled his eyes and said, "Mendez never personally briefed our pilots on the mission, and this time he came, there must be nothing good." ”

What happened next confirmed the Targaryen's crow's mouth.

The people they dealt with this time were not simple at all, and there was intelligence that during a combat mission just now, five Tomahawk cruise missiles fired by a Ticonderoga-class cruiser successfully hit a target on Chagos Island, dealing a fatal blow to a group of terrorists who "invaded" the base. However, due to an unknown mistake, the radar showed that the target buildings on the island were still occupied after being carpet-bombed by Tomahawk missiles.

In view of the fact that firing missiles again against one or two remnants of the enemy was as ridiculous as anti-aircraft guns hitting mosquitoes, the fleet sent three poster squads that had already entered the predetermined position to enter the base on Chagos Island to conduct a search, and the result was a great surprise, a total of 21 poster team members were defeated and wiped out without any ability to fight back.

From the real-time battlefield video uploaded back from their helmets, it can be seen that the poster team members did not even see the appearance of the other party, only the shadow of a woman, and no one else.

Therefore, the fleet decided to send four attack planes with extremely powerful ground firepower to prepare for a complete elimination of the existing enemy on the island.

In fact, the Targaryen was full of doubts from the beginning, the US military base in the Chagos Islands was leased by the United States from the British, and it took decades, in the first Gulf War, the US military attacked Iraq on a large scale, and it became the most ideal supply place, a large number of warships docked here, and after the situation eased slightly, it was still an important naval outpost.

How could a team of "terrorists" invade such a tightly guarded place?

Judging from the video footage, the woman the seals met was a ghost, and the footage showed that the fallen soldiers had been stabbed and fell to the ground before they even had time to fire their guns.

The most terrifying thing is that the members of the SEAL who were injured for a while and could not die for a while, covered their wounds on the ground and screamed, and let out the last wail before dying, which was really terrifying.

Now, he was sent on a mission to clear up, and although the plane was flying in the sky, the terrifying female ghost would never fly into the sky, so this was the only comfort Targaryen had.

"Road Sweeper 1 called, did you see that?" The Chagos Archipelago had appeared in front of him for 6 consecutive years, and Targaryen looked at the equipment, and now it was less than 1o nautical miles away from the base. In the distance, you can see the sea in the distance, and there is a small fluttering fire under the dark night.

Targaryen knew that it was the base on Chagos Island, and being hit by five Tomahawk cruise missiles would inevitably cause some fire. Everything seemed to be perfectly normal, and on the radar, he couldn't see any threats around him. The radar manager in the Vincennes control center did not report any hostile information to him, proving that the airspace in this area is safe and there are no enemies.

"Road Sweeper 2, I see it, our base is on fire, it is estimated that a missile started the fire." The No. 2 aircraft behind him flew forward, keeping the same degree as the Targaryens, and the two looked at each other through the cockpit glass, giving each other a thumbs up, and everything was fine.

"Open the pod, get ready for battle, listen to my orders and start attacking, not letting go of a single detail, it must be fatal in one blow, I don't want to stay in the sky above that hellish place for a while, tonight I always feel that it is very weird." Targaryen felt his eyelids jump, and he felt uncomfortable.

The four are equipped with AN/AAS-35 laser-guided pods, commonly known as "pave pennies", and now nine of the 11 suspension points under the wings are suspended with AGM-65 "Cub" air-to-surface missiles, capable of firing at a distance of 1o nautical miles from the Chagos Archipelago base. With a 37.6-kilogram charge, the warhead is capable of easily penetrating Soviet-made T-72 tanks, which was proven in the first Iraq war.

"Command center, I need intelligence." Targaryen said, "Please give me the direction of the target." ”

There seemed to be some hesitation on the other side of the command center, which was very rare, because according to the usual management, the officers of the command center who were in charge of observing various instruments had already been able to give their own coordinates, why didn't they answer immediately this time.

"Road Ranger 1, this is the command center, sorry, we can't provide accurate target coordinates for the time being......"

"What do you mean!?" Targaryen was taken aback, knowing that the command center on the aircraft carrier battle group is the place that represents the crystallization of the most advanced military technology of the United States, which can mobilize all surveillance resources, including satellites, and even the early warning aircraft they sent can transmit the real-time situation within a radius of 1ooo kilometers back to the attack aircraft at the end.

But what's going on now? The command center does not know the coordinates of the other party?! That's still a hair!

"Sweeper No. 1 calls the command center, we can't attack without coordinates, it's already close to the island, please give us the attack coordinates immediately!"

"There is no way! The target is moving, we can't determine the coordinates......"

You can't give coordinates if you move!? Isn't this an international joke? Targaryen was in a trance for a while, and had a dreamlike illusion, he felt that he had encountered a fake command center, if the US military could not even provide the coordinates of a moving target, is this still the US Air Force Navy, which claims to be the first in the world?

Funetbsp; What's going on!?

"I don't understand...... Why can't you provide coordinates! He was so angry that he almost raised his foot and kicked the dashboard, and cursed wildly in his heart for the group of fools who ate white rice in the command center!

"In other words, you have to rely on the naked eye to observe, maybe you can also rely on the radar on your plane, try ......" The command center still looks like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, as if they can't lock on to the target.
