Chapter 960 Sinking the destroyer Barry

A 'ball' air-to-air missile dragged the white tail flame through an exaggerated arc to hit a 'gust M' fighter that was maneuvering.

"Pon!"

In the chaotic sky of missiles and fighters, a brilliant fireworks suddenly burst out. Before the French pilot could parachute, they were torn apart with the fighter with frightened and suspicious eyes.

Karim ignored the lock alarm and pouted his mouth with disdain for the ship-to-air missiles leaping towards the sea. With a pull of the pole, the 'Eagle' fighter climbed vertically at an elevation of almost 90 degrees. This action is almost the favorite action of the 'Eagle' fighter pilots. Whenever they see the enemy's missiles on the plane. Behind the buttocks, looking at the strong infrared signal of the high-energy particle flow emitted by the undisguised tail nozzle, it can only get farther and farther away from the plane in speed.

"Please pay attention to each crew... Please note that the first, third and fifth teams are responsible for solving nearby enemy aircraft, and other teams are responsible for solving the predetermined goals. Repeat..."

Karim climbed back to a height of 15,000 meters and restored the balance of the fighter. He was preparing to find the next prey, but the commander Jababa's new command came from the wireless communication. He had to take a 'greedy' look at a French 'gust M' carrier aircraft that was being bitten by his own fighter in the lower left, and then re- He and the wingman were incorporated into the second group to form an offensive formation, locking in the enemy warships that were evaded on the sea below.

16 Condor fighters split half of the fighters to intercept the fighters taking off from the 'De Gaulle' aircraft carrier, and support the enemy aircraft in other directions for other fighters, covering the other 8 fighters to attack the fleet.

"Fire!"

On the sea, more than a dozen mixed fleets of the United States, France and Italy have tended to be in chaos with the shooting down of French carrier-based aircraft, especially two Italian frigates, which have never confronted them with the Somali Strategic Air Force. It is unimaginable that more than a dozen fighters are facing the same number of carrier-based aircraft as them. When more than a dozen surface ships launch anti-air missiles, they can still gain the upper hand.

It took only 10 minutes for the Somali Strategic Air Force to arrive in this area and enter the battle, and the air fighters seem to be coming to an end. Five French carrier-based aircraft have been lost, and two injured have fled to the north of Sicily, while the mixed fleet has not even touched the buttocks of the enemy aircraft.

Is this really a combination of ghosts and demons?

When some of the Somali fighters in the air gathered in the distant sky, there seemed to be a big movement, the chaos on the sea became more obvious.

All the warships, including the French aircraft carrier, are evading and sailing at full speed to the north in an attempt to shorten the time of the meeting of the roadbed air force.

The two Italian frigates panicked and fled to the northwest regardless of the anti-aircraft formation of the fleet.

Somali fighters were hovering in the sky looking for the loopholes in the fleet below. When they saw the two Italian frigates, their eyes lit up, just like a cat smelling a fishy smell, they immediately divided into four crews and broke into the air defense circle of the fleet from four directions.

Karim's expression was also very nervous. The hand holding the vertical pole could see the blue veins on the back of his hand protruding because he stretched it very hard.

His eyes resisted a warship on the display screen, a U.S. destroyer with the Star-Spangled Banner. She had a name, the missile destroyer Barry.

The 'Barry' missile destroyer has a displacement of 8,300 tons and a speed of 30 knots. The carrier weapon has two MK41 missile vertical launch systems, which can launch 'standard' anti-aircraft missiles, 'Tomahawk' cruise missiles and 'whaling fork' anti-ship missiles, a 127mm naval gun, and two triple torpedoes. The system, two 'dense array' short-range air defense systems, and two 'Seahawk' helicopters. This is a new U.S. Alyberk-class missile destroyer launched in 1992. It now belongs to the Atlantic Fleet and belongs to the 22nd Destroyer Squadron.

As for Karim, the ace pilot in the Somali Strategic Air Force, why did he immediately focus on this U.S. destroyer instead of the French aircraft carrier? This is due to deep-seated reasons.

"Open fire!" Captain Gottney of the USS Barry saw two 'Eagle' fighters coming towards the destroyer, his face changed slightly, and the battle instructions sounded in his ear from time to time, and he turned a deaf ear to the Buddha.

Holding the armrest of the chair with both hands, Gottney flashed a trace of disappointment after seeing that the two 'standard' missiles launched were evacued by Somali fighters. At this time, he had no idea of being an American hero, such as shooting down the first Somali 'Eagle' fighter. All he wanted was how to protect the safety of the destroyer Barry.

"Fire!" Two more 'standard' missiles were launched against the approaching Somali fighters. At this time, the officers on the destroyer Barry had seen two short and fat missiles exposed under the two Somali fighters that opened the magazine in the telescope, and the U.S. Navy officers' faces were pale.

20 kilometers away, the Karimi and the wingman pressed the launch button at the same time. Two Kingfisher anti-ship missiles, which were improved from the former Soviet Union's "spreme" missiles, separated from the aircraft and flew towards the destroyer Barry at high speed under the impetus of the stamping engine.

At this time, two 'standard' anti-aircraft missiles were close at hand, and they were about to hit Somali fighters. The eyes behind the telescopes of the U.S. [***] officials were widened, and the pale color on their faces disappeared, but showed a kind of morbid blush.

"Kone the Somali devil for me..."

A young intern officer, regardless of where he was, couldn't help shouting out with excitement.

Karim's cockpit, the sad warning almost pierced the eardrum, and the flying missile flight data was also quickly displayed in the display screen. It was getting closer and closer to the plane, and it broke into a kilometer range. At this moment, the yellow indicator light on an instrument in the cockpit kept flashing quickly. Karim's tense expression was slightly relaxed, regardless of the incoming missiles, and he tried his best to control the plane's small diameter to turn left, trying to break out of the air defense circle of the fleet.

Under the head of the 'Shenhawk' fighter, an enemy that seemed to be an infrared detector. When the incoming missile entered the range of 500 meters, a yellow beam of light flashed away and rushed directly to the 'standard' missile at a speed that could hardly be captured by the naked eye.

"Bang!"

The 'standard' missile exploded in the air as if it had hit the target. The flying pieces flew away with a sharp sound, but at a distance of 500 meters, even with the usual surname, the shrapnel did not hit the plane.

And this scene stunned those excited and beautiful [***] officials. For a moment, it seemed that they could not even take care of the two "fisher" airship missiles that were flying in the sea.

"Dada..." The two dense array systems on the ship immediately fired at the missile under the automatic control of the radar, but it was too late. Two Kingfisher missiles hit the bow and stern of the destroyer Barry one after the other.

"Boom..."

"God's protection..." The more than 8,000 tons of 'Barry' suddenly shook, and then a violent explosion and shock wave tore the bow. The sky began to burn everything that could burn. The head of the warship was almost a few meters to the left under the impact of the explosion, and at this time, another 'fisher' guided The bullet also hit the stern accurately.

Karim, who climbed back to the air of 10,000 meters, circled over the 'Barry', which had been shrouded in fire and thick smoke, for a while, and grinned after confirming that the American destroyer had inevitably sunk.

"Report to the commander that the 'Devil crew' successfully sank the USS Barry." Karim reported the news to Colonel Jababa in the wireless communication.

In fact, there is no need for Karim to report that those who have shot down the French carrier-based aircraft and expelled the other friends who did not immediately participate in the offensive mission against the fleet have seen the scene in the air where they first launched the attack and perfectly hit the American [***] ship at the same time as the wingman.

In the public channel of the fleet, those pilots without missions have already cheered.

The sea below has been tilted, and there are huge fireball-shaped objects from continuous explosions. However, an advanced destroyer of the U.S. Navy in active service can be said that it is a role that can show off all over the world. Now only two missiles have hit, and the sinking ending is irreversible. This kind of huge The visual effects and psychological effects make these Somali air elites have what kind of pride in their hearts?

"Well done. The commander will definitely reward you this time." Colonel Jababa, as the commander of the air fleet, was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile in the wireless communication.

Karim also thought of this. Before leaving, the commander deliberately told him to sink the destroyer 'Barry'. What he didn't know was that at Colonel Jabba, Li Mo ordered Jabba in a more severe tone. Even if he did not sink any other warship this time, he would guarantee the United States. The destroyer Barry was sunk.

"Sir, this is the credit of our 'Devil Group', not to me alone." The habit of modesty is learned from the commander, because of the appearance of Li Mo, and now the surname habit of the senior military is also 'mooing to the boss' and connecting with Li Mo.

"Boom..."

Just as they spoke easily, the attack of the other crews below also arrived, and soon there were results.

The French Horizon-class destroyer 'Forbin' became the second unlucky to be hit by the Kingfisher missile after the 'Barry'. The 'fisher' missile directly hit the superstructure of the warship, the radar antenna was directly blown to pieces, and the thick black smoke soon enveloped the 'Forbin'.
