7-ton missiles, whistling from the sky, they continued to form formations, flying smoothly on the sea, for the British naval formation, this was a rain of death!

The Atlantic Transporter was originally a container ship, and the bridge of this cargo ship was at the back, and the front and rear were flat, which was used to stack a large number of containers.

And now, this cargo ship with a displacement of 14,950 tons has been transformed into a light aircraft carrier.

That's right, the British Navy's expedition to the Falklands, of course, will not be disgusted by the large number of aircraft carriers, because Britain's national strength is weak, so it is impossible to equip a large number of advanced equipment, so it adopts the strategy of combining the military with the people.

Now, at the rear of the cargo ship, there is a helicopter landing platform that can be used to take off and land helicopters, and in front of the ship, the wide deck has been covered by containers.

True, on both sides of the deck, covered by containers, so that in the vacant area in the middle, several Sea Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighters were placed.

In order to increase the number of their carrier-based aircraft, the British Navy is trying to do all kinds of efforts, although the Invincible class did not choose the Sea Harrier as a carrier-based aircraft, but after all, there are still this kind of cargo ship modifications that can be used.

At the same time, on the front deck, a sea harrier's take-off and landing area was painted with paint.

In this way, this cargo ship has become an aircraft carrier, of course, it cannot be compared with a real aircraft carrier, and its operation and scheduling are quite complicated.

Now, the operators on this cargo ship are nervously unbuttoning the tarpaulin to untie the Sea Harrier VTOL fighters wrapped inside, and these planes must be on the field at a critical time.

A tractor came over and towed the first plane to the landing platform.

On the bridge, the captain of the "Atlantic Transporter", Ian North, nervously looked at the sea with a telescope, his cargo ship had accelerated to a maximum speed of 23 knots, and was also ready to take off and land Sea Harriers, but could it still catch up?

The roar of jet engines came from the bow of the ship, and the Sea Harrier carrier-based aircraft had already started the Pegasus engine, even if it could only carry Sidewinder missiles, it could compete with the fighters of the Argentine Navy and share the pressure of the Tomcat fighters fighting on two fronts.

At this moment, Ian suddenly saw a large piece of light flying on the sea, it was an anti-ship missile!

The speed of those anti-ship missiles is quite fast, incredibly fast.

"Left full rudder!" Ian shouted loudly, now that the opponent was coming from his side, this was the largest area of bullets, and the easiest to take out, he had to turn parallel to the opponent.

"Boom!" At this moment, the Granite missile, which was flying at a speed of Mach 2.5, had already crashed into it!

In an instant, the entire hull was shaking violently, and it can be seen that the part where the missile hit was like a nail smashed in, and the surrounding steel plates were also bent and deformed in an instant!

A 7-ton Granite missile, with its own weight at a huge speed, will have terrifying energy, which is enough to destroy the target even if the warhead does not explode!

When the missile collided, everyone felt a violent tremor under their feet, and the missile easily tore through its shell.

Then, an even louder explosion came, and at this moment, Ian felt a huge wave of air under his feet, and he immediately flew up.

The one-ton warhead exploded, exploding from the belly of the Atlantic transporter, and the transport ship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, at this moment, actually turned into fragments!

It was completely torn apart!

Its position was at the rear, so it was the first to be attacked, and then, the other ships were also hit!

"Launch, launch, launch!" On the destroyer USS Shelfield, the captain shouted loudly that the current situation was too critical, and his destroyer, which was the main air defense destroyer of the British Navy, was loaded with Sea Javelin anti-aircraft missiles, which were originally used to intercept anti-ship missiles.

Now, he was giving the battle order loudly, but he heard a voice that was indeed angry.

"Can't be locked, can't be locked!" The missilemen shouted angrily: "The flight altitude of the other party is less than ten meters!" ”

The Sea Javelin anti-aircraft missile is the main regional anti-aircraft missile, and when it was designed, it was originally designed to deal with high-altitude targets, and although it has been improved, it can also attack targets flying at ultra-low altitudes, but it still has limitations, for example, at a height of less than 10 meters on the sea surface, it is powerless.

Who would have thought that such a huge missile of the Soviets would be able to fly close to the surface of the sea.

In later generations, the Type 42 paid a tragic price in the Falklands naval battle, and there have always been people who have grasped it and accused the operator of dereliction of duty, and at the same time, some people pointed out that it was the defects of weapons and equipment, what false alarms continued, and the radar was turned off in order to avoid interference, etc., but no one realized that when the Exocet missile flew close to the sea surface, did the Sea Javelin have the ability to intercept?

Missiles flying at ultra-low altitudes are inherently difficult to intercept.

Now, the huge Granite missiles are coming, they have reached the end of their flight, continue to depress the altitude, and actually fly at a terrible altitude of ten meters.

Don't look at the backwardness of the Soviets' electronic technology, but their system integration capabilities are quite powerful.

The Sea Javelin missile is the main force of their medium-range air defense, and after the Tomcat fighter could not completely intercept it, those fish that slipped through the net were originally handed over to the Sea Javelin system, but now, the Sea Javelin can not be locked.

"Fire, fire!" He continued to shout loudly.

The 114-mm guns in the bow of the ship, bursts of fireballs from the muzzles, began to fire fiercely at the sea in the distance, and at the same time, the 20-mm rapid-fire guns on the side of the ship also began to fire fiercely.

The opponent's missile is huge, and it is impossible to do the S maneuver at the end of the stage, but as long as the opponent is fast enough, it will be enough!

The huge granite missile, braving countless shells, flew swiftly towards this side, passing through the rain of bullets, and was actually unscathed.

"Boom!" The missile hit the Shelfield.

Although the Shelfield was a warship, after being hit, its hull was quickly flattened, almost like the Atlantic Transporter. It is only a strong foreign power, and it is also a microcosm of the withering of Britain, an empire on which the sun never sets.

Originally, the Type 82 destroyer, which is more than 8,000 tons, is the best air defense ship, with reasonable design and advanced performance, but Britain cannot afford to equip it, so it is forced to engage in a simplified version of the Type 42, with a displacement of only half of the Type 82, but the armament has not been reduced.

In this way, in order to reduce costs, the military limited the displacement of the entire ship; In order to increase the number of weapons and electronic equipment, the shell structure of the whole ship was simplified, and a thin-shell hull was adopted, so the structure was weak, easy to be penetrated, and easy to be heated and fired.

The upper part of the hull is even built with aluminum alloy, which I think is a way to save weight.
