Black has become the main color of Firefox. However, for an aircraft carrier ground crew, the red flames, symbolizing death, are the real main color.
red.
Dazzling and brilliant red.
The 18-ton fighter plane, with hundreds of kilograms of aviation fuel, weapons and ammunition inside, slammed into the F-18E Super Hornet on the starboard side at a speed of 180 knots per hour. At this moment, the entire Fox 2 Not a fighter jet, but an eighteen-ton artillery shell!
In an instant, countless kinetic energy was poured onto the Super Hornet fuselage. The fuselage twisted and deformed and heated up rapidly. The nose of the aircraft was unable to withstand such a severe kinetic energy impact and directly broke. At the same time, the F-35C fighter that suffered the impact of the reaction force , the nose and the air intake were directly deformed and damaged, a large amount of aviation fuel leaked, and in contact with the air, it formed extremely flammable combustible gas.
During the impact, friction occurs between metal and metal, producing bright and dazzling sparks.
After a thousandth of a second, the flammable gas is ignited and burns violently, releasing a high amount of energy. Since the energy cannot be released quickly in a short period of time, it can only be released in the most direct and purest way - explosion.
"Boom!" A shock wave containing a high amount of energy swept around, and an explosion caused by the collision of fighter planes was born. Countless tiny and irregular metal fragments flew at high speed into a 360-degree space, as deadly as bullets. Dozens of them were nearby. The ground crew and the yellow vest commander suffered double attacks from high-energy shock waves and metal fragments, and fell to the ground with blood flowing out.
In just a moment, the explosion claimed the lives of sixteen people.
But, this is not the end.
The explosion did not stop the Fox 2, which contained a high amount of kinetic energy, from continuing to move forward because, as the most stable and powerful vector turbofan engine on the planet, the F-135 was still performing its job.
It's so reliable, it's so trustworthy.
The aviation fuel that was about to stop burning exploded with a stable and long-lasting maximum thrust. Even the explosion could not stop it, pushing the mutilated Fox 2 F-35C to continue forward. Under the action of the explosion and high temperature, the right magazine on the belly of the aircraft A missile that is internally deformed and damaged is overwhelmed under such circumstances and loses its self-protection mechanism.
"Boom!" The next second, a more violent explosion occurred.
An extremely serious shipboard accident occurred.
…
The supreme combat command center of the Eastern Theater Command, lobby.
The atmosphere was slightly silent. Everyone focused on the dynamic high-definition picture displayed on the big screen, quietly watching the huge burning thing.
The picture on the screen can be called a peerless painting, full of war art atmosphere.
"After a combat system assessment, the take-off deck of Target 6 was severely damaged, with a 1-meter-diameter wound on the surface, two catapults with a high probability of being damaged, and the overall combat effectiveness reduced by more than 55%. Six aircraft, including one helicopter, and personnel were damaged. The preliminary casualty data is about 50 people, and the direct economic loss is initially estimated at 2 billion US dollars." The male operator wearing glasses gave a dynamic assessment of the combat system to the supreme commander Luo Ji who was standing in the command position.
"Why did we hit it..."
Luo Ji watched this scene quietly with his eyes, carefully looking at the huge burning monster in the picture. His heart was a little complicated. I have to say that the situation in front of him was completely unexpected. He never expected to escape from a close combat with Zero. The F-35C actually had such a serious accident during landing.
This shipboard accident was no less than the most tragic accident of the USS Forrest that year.
Looking at the behemoth on the big screen, Luo Ji, who should have been happy and relaxed, could not feel any joy because he knew that due to this accident, the wolf hunting operation could not continue.
As for the reason why it cannot proceed, it is very simple. Under the influence of this accident, the other party may be impatient.
Target No. 6, which had just completed its mid-term refueling and overhaul, had such a serious accident. If it continued to press the Sea Wolf, it would be difficult to end it.
As the old saying goes: Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry.
At the end, Luo Ji sighed in his heart. He still couldn't understand why Zero, who was also a carrier-based aircraft pilot, successfully landed the J-15C Tiger Shark at one time, but this F-35C carrier-based aircraft pilot caused this incident. An accident.
Don't understand.
He really doesn't understand.
"Ding!" The next second, the red phone on the right side of the command station began to ring with a tone that only existed in the last century.
Luo Ji did not hesitate. He picked up the red phone with his right hand. After a few seconds, he straightened his body and maintained an upright posture: "Yes!"
The call was interrupted and he put down the red phone.
Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of everyone, Luo Ji issued an order in a serious voice: "Order, stop the wolf hunting operation and all combat units retreat."
After receiving the order, the surrounding operators immediately got busy and conveyed the order to all combat units of the Wolf Hunting operation as quickly as possible, including the 093G Jinling nuclear attack submarine pursuing the underwater pursuit, the 054A and 055 pursuing the surface, and the two Gaoxin No. 6 anti-submarine patrol aircraft. and all air combat units rushing to the core area, all received orders to retreat.
There was no doubt that all combat units immediately carried out the order and turned around and returned home.
"How long will it take for the salvage ship to be in place?" After giving the retreat order, Luo Ji, who was helpless, turned to the male operator on the right and asked.
"The first batch of salvage ships are expected to arrive in the X-1 area in 1 hour and 45 minutes, X-2 area in 2 hours, X-3 area in two and a half hours, X-4 area in three hours..." The male operator held up his hands Rufei immediately called up the number, position and speed of the salvage ship, as well as the estimated time to arrive at the salvage point, and reported it.
The items in the three salvage areas of X-1 -
"Send a salvage ship to the X-4 salvage area to salvage the F-35C. If it cannot be salvaged completely, then salvage part of the body or parts. The speed must be fast and it must be ahead of the opponent." Luo Ji stared at the screen. Four salvage areas with immediate instructions based on item value.
The wolf hunting operation is now a thing of the past. What is going on now is a salvage battle. In order to avoid making the other party anxious, all combat forces have basically retreated to the offshore area, and the salvage ships must also complete the salvage operation as soon as possible.
No way, no matter what, the missing silencer tiles on the Seawolf and the F-35C that crashed into the sea and sank are nominally the property of others.
In order to maximize profits, you must be quick.
What you get into your hands is the real thing.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji couldn't help but curse in his heart, "You fucking stupid F-35 pilot!"
…
…
"Buzz!"
At sea, the Haizhi-20 military helicopter attached to the 055 guided missile destroyer hovered over the Forest, and a member of the Forest was sent to the cabin.
Jiang Xiaochun wore protective clothing and a sling around his waist, and then quickly ascended, leaving the Forest below. His eyes were fixed on the looming sea wolf in the distance.
The sea wolf sails slowly, and a portable inflatable speedboat is speeding on the sea. The combatants belonging to the sea wolf are rushing to the area where the sea eagle ejected and fell into the sea to perform a rescue mission.
