Chapter 1453: The U.S. Fleet with Heavy Losses

The warhead of the V-2FJ anti-ship missile is loaded with 250 kg of ********, don't look at the comparison with many anti-ship missiles, the 250 kg charge is very small, but with the lethality of supersonic impact, even an aircraft carrier may lose its combat effectiveness in a short time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And for a 10,000-ton warship, the lethality of such a missile can almost be said to be absolute.

What's more, now the penetrated destroyer, the warhead of the missile is located under water, the density in the water is 800 times that of the air, and the power of the explosive explosion is also equivalent to 800 times that of the explosion in the air.

The violent explosion sounded underwater, and the entire warship was lifted out of the sea at the moment of the explosion, and the bottom of the ship flew out of the water in an instant, and at the moment when the warship was lifted out, the warship had already broken into two parts, and under the huge column of water produced by the explosion, it rolled in the air several times like a small toy in a bathtub.

None of the more than 100 people on the warship survived, and when the splashed column of water tens of meters high fell, the destroyer, which had been broken in two, also quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and the two hulls were nearly 30 meters apart, which showed how great the power of the explosion was.

Such an explosion, if it broke out at the bottom of the Nimitz aircraft carrier, even if it was a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, would be unbearable.

Even if the aircraft carrier does not sink, all the equipment on the ship will inevitably be seriously damaged and completely lose its combat effectiveness.

The V-2FJ anti-ship missile group attacked the four destroyers in the front, and the fate was exactly the same, and the attacking missile group was shot down by less than ten of them.

Ten missiles, for more than three hundred, is nothing at all.

The missiles that broke through the first layer of defense circle also quickly came to the second line of defense of the aircraft carrier battle group.

At this moment, there is already a mess in the NATO combined fleet.

Four destroyers were taken out, which was an unprecedented loss for the American army, and the main thing was that more missiles had already flown towards the core of the fleet.

So many missiles, once for the entire fleet, are an absolute nightmare existence.

In particular, four warships have already been taken out, and no one can say how many losses there will be next.

Fortunately, the loss of four warships on the periphery also brought sufficient time for defense preparation in the central defense circle.

The warships on the periphery in other directions were also the first to move closer to the middle, and the aircraft carrier made a sharp turn and left the idea of the missile coming at full speed.

The defense of the fleet was in full swing, incessantly tilting fire in the direction of the incoming missiles.

However, there were too many incoming missiles, and although a considerable number of missiles were destroyed, a considerable number of them still broke through to the second line of defense of the fleet.

On the sea, there was a barrage of dense firepower everywhere, and the sound of gunfire was incessant.

Although there are many dense barrages, they cannot completely block the incoming missiles.

The warships of the second defense circle, in the face of missiles that were already close at hand, exploded on the side of the warship, trying to interfere with the missiles that had approached the warship.

Unfortunately, the effect of the interference is not very ideal.

On the sea under the dark night, two Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, which were on the periphery of the second line of defense, were hit by missiles at the same time.

Although the missile launcher on the bow of the warship was not directly detonated, the huge explosion position caused the entire bow of the warship to be blown off, causing the bow of the warship to be buried in the sea, waiting for the fate of the imminent sinking.

Fortunately, most of the people on the warship had time to escape.

And the other Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser, which was not so lucky, hit the missile's underbridge and plugged it directly. Entering the combat service center, the huge explosion force blew the entire warship into an eight-meter-long gap, and some of the gaps were still below the waterline.

If there was only the attack effect of this missile, then the cruiser might be able to save it, but the second missile that followed was successfully repaired.

The second missile pierced directly into the rear of the warship's helicopter hangar, penetrated the warship's side and exploded right inside the vertical launch system in the middle and rear of the warship.

Dozens of missiles inside were detonated at the same time, and the entire warship directly became a pile of wreckage under the huge explosion and firelight, and the wreckage, which was relatively intact in the bow position, sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

Two Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers kicked off the battle in the inner circle of NATO's aircraft carrier battle group, and after the two cruisers, more missiles were shot down, but the US warships also paid huge casualties.

There were even several missiles, which passed through three defensive circles in a row, heading directly for the aircraft carrier Lincoln, the core of the fleet.

If it weren't for the final promotion, a Perry-class frigate, with its own hull, stopped in front of the missile, I am afraid that the aircraft carrier Lincoln would not have escaped the tragedy of being hit by the missile.

However, although not a single aircraft carrier was injured, the NATO Combined Fleet also paid a huge price in casualties.

The four Arleigh Burke-class destroyers on the periphery were destroyed, and there were not even a hundred survivors on the warship.

In the middle two defensive rings, more than a dozen warships were also lost, especially the two fast combat support ships loaded with cargo on the edge of the center of the fleet, which sank to the bottom of the sea with tens of thousands of tons of supplies.

If we say that the loss of supply ships makes it impossible for the fleet to form a long-term combat capability in a short period of time, and the loss of ten main combat ships can almost be said to be irreparably lacking in combat effectiveness.

These ten capital ships are not Perry-class frigates, they are all Aegis ships, and they are an important component of the fleet's defense and operations.

The combined fleet composed of the four major aircraft carrier battle groups, and all the Aegis ships, add up to about twenty ships.

Under a round of missile attacks, half of them were lost, and the NATO Combined Fleet at this moment was in a very dangerous situation.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for NATO and Europe, and at the same time that NATO is jointly attacked by missiles, a large number of missiles are also heading for a large number of US air bases in Europe.

The US military bases in Europe are also commercial sources in the vicinity, and they are all relatively prosperous places in Europe in terms of population and commerce.

For many years, Europe, which had been very calm, was awakened by the sound of explosions.

Piercing air defense sirens, explosions, resounded over the entire part of Europe.

made a large number of Europeans all exclaim, and the relevant news on the Internet also showed an explosive increase.

On the other hand, the U.S. Sixth Fleet also paid the loss of several capital ships in the Strait of Gibraltar, and only then did it smoothly get out of the strait and escape back to the English Channel.
