Augustus immediately chose to dive and returned to the low altitude.

"Continue to fly forward." Augustus said to wingman Armando.

In the process of flying forward, the inertial navigation system will accumulate errors, and the British warship will also sail a certain distance, so it is normal that the target was not searched just now.

As a pilot with hundreds of hours of flying experience, Augustus was very calm.

Twenty-five miles into the flight, Augustus called over the radio: "Flat hat, climb up, get ready to lock on."

This time, it is likely to be only a few tens of kilometers away from the British warship, and the distance is very close. If you don't prepare quickly, you may miss it from above the opponent.

The two super military flags started to climb at the same time, like dragons coming out of the water.

It is 11:02 at this time.

That target is clearly displayed on the radar screen: distance, 46 kilometers, bearing: 003!

The fire control system began to run at full speed, and all the launch data was continuously flowing into the flying fish's brain.

OK, done locking!

The two super military flags returned to the low altitude again.

There was a flash of fire under the belly of the aircraft, and two am-39 "Exocet" anti-ship missiles broke away from the belly of the super flag and started the previous stage of autonomous cruise flight.

After the launch was completed, the task of the Super Flag was over, and they immediately pulled the lever and rudder, turned and returned.

Although it only took more than ten seconds to climb to the hollow, the trace of the super military flag has been exposed on Sheffield's radar screen.

Radar operator Nick Barto suddenly spotted a target on the radar screen, and although the target was fleeting, he reported it immediately.

Forty kilometers away, a suspicious target appeared!

Suspicious target?Where can the target be?

On the radar screen, it has disappeared.

Vice-captain Peter Walpole was standing on the deck at this time. Regarding the report of the loyal radar officer, he didn't know if the other party was dazzled. Therefore, his eyes were carefully searching the sea surface, trying to see from the sea surface. Spot the shadow of a suspicious target.

Suddenly, a white smoke trail appeared on the blue sea!

"Exocet!" Peter yelled, but it was too late.

After the launch, the Exocet missile dropped to a height of 15 meters, and the super flag had already returned, so there was nothing on the radar screen in Sheffield. About ten kilometers away from Sheffield, the missile entered the search state, and the radar was turned on. One managed to catch Sheffield's target, the other missed it.

The flying fish missile that caught the target immediately descended to a distance of only three meters above the sea surface, and performed the final sea-skimming maneuver to avoid being destroyed by the short-range artillery fire from the opposing warship.

Peter found the missile, but it was too late. At this time, the Exocet missile was only 1 mile away from the "Sheffield". Four seconds later, the missile accurately hit the engine compartment of the "Sheffield" and exploded together with the remaining fuel. The "Sheffield" immediately lost its power supply and all air defense systems were paralyzed.Subsequently, the entire ship was enveloped in fire.

In order to reduce its own weight, part of the Sheffield was built with aluminum, which participated in the combustion at high temperatures.

Although the sailors immediately rescued him, they were unable to recover.

A few hours later, the captain ordered to abandon the ship, but the wreckage continued to drift and burn for six days!It floated on the sea unwillingly, and didn't believe it all: Britain's most advanced air defense destroyer with a displacement of 2 tons, equipped with advanced air defense weapons, and a cost of up to [-] million U.S. dollars, was actually under a flying fish missile worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Under attack, died.

The eyes of all military experts are focused on this unsettled sea area.

Although the French Aerospace Corporation announced long ago that their company's Exocet missile was so powerful that it destroyed Iran's largest warship, many military experts expressed doubts.Because neither of the two parties involved made a statement. It was not long ago that Iraq announced in a high-profile manner that it had destroyed an Iranian warship. However, if everyone believed it, it would be no wonder!It is clear that the aerospace company bribed Iraq!

But now, Flying Fish has finally become famous in the first battle, and the photos of the fire in Sheffield have clearly appeared on the headlines of newspapers in various countries.

No one expected that after the British army sank the Argentine warship, the Argentine navy chose to obediently retreat to the port, and never dared to come out again. They thought that Argentina had nothing to do, but they did not expect it. The ground used the Super Emblem aircraft to carry Exocet missiles and sank Britain's most advanced anti-aircraft destroyer.

Even the anti-aircraft destroyers were sunk, what about those without anti-aircraft capabilities?Like those two aircraft carriers?

Military experts from various countries have started to make endless comments.

Although the French aerospace company is happy that its Exocet missile has finally become famous, they are also very regretful, because, under the lobbying of the United Kingdom and under the pressure of the United States, the French aerospace company has to announce the suspension of the sale of the Exocet missile, and it is strictly prohibited to third countries. transfer.

At the critical moment, the old capitalist countries stood together without hesitation.

The French aerospace company has already withdrawn its own personnel after the war in the Falkland Islands. Unexpectedly, Argentina's own ground staff can still maintain this kind of missile, which also shows that this kind of missile has good reliability.

Flying fish missile, fight to fame!The French aerospace company feels that it has a lot of face in the anti-ship missiles all over the world.

However, everyone knows that Argentina only has five Exocet missiles in stock, and now two are used, and the remaining three are definitely not enough for war consumption. Therefore, whoever can sell the missiles to Argentina will reap huge benefits .

Many small countries with Exocet missiles are starting to get excited.

However, no one has as much inventory as that guy in the Middle East, His Excellency Qusay.

Thanks to Tariq's efforts, [-] Exocet missiles were finally brought to Iraq before the French aerospace company announced the ban on sales. Every time Zhang Feng thought of these missiles, it seemed that there were a lot of dollars in front of him.

Chapter 348 Smuggling

Paris France.

In an ordinary private house, several people are discussing something.

"We were introduced by someone. I heard that you have what we need here." A white man said, and behind him were two tall people who looked like bodyguards.

On the other side, there were two black people, and one of them said, "Yes, we have what you need, but the price is higher."

The white man Baru is an international arms dealer, he likes to smuggle all kinds of firearms, and the profits are very large, such as now.

There are only three Flying Fish left in Argentina's stockpile, and President Galtieri has long been impatient. At the same time, many people in their business have already moved their minds: Flying Fish missiles are now more expensive than gold. For missiles, Argentina can pay as much as they want.

All over the world, there are many people in motion.

Finally, Baru found out that the two black men belonged to the South African military, and they were looking for buyers to sell the missiles.

Of course, to be able to steal and sell this kind of missile, it must be a high-level military officer, and the background of the other party must be very deep.

Baru doesn't care who they are or how powerful they are. As an arms dealer, as long as the other party can sell the Exocet missile to him and won't cheat, Baru never asks anything else.

Of course, if the other party really intends to cheat, Baru is not a vegetarian. If he can get along in this business, the power behind Baru is actually not small.

"Tell me, see if I can eat it." Baru said with a smile.

The other party also smiled, showing the white teeth inside: "Buy it now. 200 million US dollars."

$200 million?Balu was shocked, the other party really dared to ask for a price, 200 million is not enough, it is enough to buy a super flag plane, now, just buy a flying fish missile, is it so ruthless?

However, even if it was 300 million US dollars, Baru dared to buy it, because he was sure that it could be sold for 500 million US dollars.
