Chapter 1117: A Cool Breakthrough
In later generations, the main force of the US aircraft carrier formation is the Aegis warship, including the Ticonderoga class and the Burke class, all of which are equipped with four-sided phased array radars and MK41 vertical launch. Even if a single warship does not have enough fire channels and can only deal with a dozen targets at the same time, these warships can still deal with the Soviet Union's saturation attack if they are distributed.
But now, it is far from enough. The US Navy's Aegis warships are not as many as the Soviet Union's Dreadnought 3 and Dreadnought 4. The Soviet Union's progress in electronic technology allowed them to quickly master the technology of this kind of professional air defense ship. At the same time, their strong national strength allowed them to quickly build the Rif-M air defense missile, which can even take on the task of regional air defense.
In comparison, the United States is much worse. The USS Vinson is the main force of regional air defense. At the same time, there are several escorting Kidd-class warships equipped with Standard 1 missiles. Now, almost all warships are on high alert to intercept those incoming missiles!
Without fighter jets to intercept, these incoming missiles could only be intercepted at a distance of 50 kilometers! For the aircraft carrier formation, almost every missile had only one chance to be intercepted at a long distance, otherwise, they could only wait for the short-range defense system to intercept!
Even if only one missile penetrates, it means the destruction of a warship!

Two salvos! The cruiser Vincennes first fired two Standard 2 missiles, destroying the high-altitude pilot missile at a distance of 80 kilometers!

While the third pilot missile was still rising, on the Vincennes, Standard 2 missiles rose rapidly like fireworks. They needed to destroy as many of the incoming missiles as possible!
"Damn, serpentine maneuver!" the personnel on the E-2 early warning aircraft shouted loudly. At this time, they were fully awake.
The missiles that flew over in the last batch were almost like living targets. They only performed one serpentine maneuver in the air, and all of them were exactly the same, in perfect unison.
But now, it's different! The movements of each missile are different. They have separated! They are no longer a formation.

What does this mean? The pilot missile has completed its pilot mission and assigned each of their missiles a target to attack!
The third pilot bomb had been shot down, but no more pilot bombs were launched!
For the P-700 missiles, their seekers can already successfully lock onto their targets at a distance of thirty kilometers. Moreover, at a distance of 300 kilometers, they have plenty of fuel, so they can go all out!

Standard Missile II, two missiles fired at a time, against one target! In the last attack, almost 70% of the time, the first missile hit the target, and the second missile smashed the target's wreckage to pieces!
However, this time, the rapid maneuvers of these P-700 missiles caused great trouble to the interception of the Standard 2 missiles. Even with only one target illumination radar, it was already very busy.
The target was lost, so the next target was guided? The first two missiles flew out and became completely uncontrolled rockets. They flew near the target P-700 missile, but there was no possibility of attack. Without radar illumination, it was like being in the dark without a flashlight. It could not see anything!
The efficiency of this round of interception was quite low. In total, only three missiles were intercepted!

There were more than forty P-700 missiles twisting their chubby bodies on the sea surface, and at the same time, they were sprinting towards us! At this time, they also accelerated to the terrifying Mach 2.5!
Everyone had a gloomy face. They knew very well what the arrival of these missiles meant!
Sea Sparrow and Sea Sidewinder missiles were continuously fired, but to no avail!

The huge P-700 missile, with flames trailing behind it, further lowered to a height of ten meters above the sea surface and slammed into the fleet!
The Phalanx system was still working hard. It formed a barrage of bullets on the sea surface, trying to block the impact of the anti-ship missiles. However, with a beautiful serpentine maneuver, the missiles shook off the barrage!
The Phalanx has a success rate of 90% in intercepting subsonic anti-ship missiles. And if the target is not maneuvering, the success rate is even higher. Now, the P-700 missile has entered the final stage of the serpentine maneuver, and there is almost no possibility of being intercepted!
"Boom!" A blind cat meets a dead mouse. A P-700 missile was hit by a stray bullet! On the sea, it turned into a huge fireball, and the explosion stimulated everyone's nerves.

"Boom!" Then, the next moment, the second missile flew over and blew the frigate in front into two pieces!
The 750-kilogram high-explosive warhead cannot be stopped even by the armored battleships of the World War II era!
"Boom!" There was another explosion, and the main force that had just been intercepted, the Vincent cruiser, was also blown apart in the middle! It was helplessly split into two sections, and the sailors shouted loudly, hoping to escape.
"Boom!" One American warship after another was sunk!

The last time the USS America sank, it could be said that the United States was caught off guard and attacked by surprise, which was a shame. But this time, the Soviet Union was upright! With the US aircraft carrier on high alert, the Soviet anti-ship missiles could still sink them!
"Fuck!" Looking at the east of his side, the five or six warships blocking there had all been destroyed. Colonel Mark knew that his aircraft carrier had also reached its last moment!
Three P-700 missiles were all heading towards the USS Eisenhower!

On one side of the ship, under the deck, the Phalanx was working frantically. The six-barrel 20mm guns were able to fire 3,000 projectiles per minute. Originally, it only fired 200 rounds each time, which was similar to a three-burst shot from an automatic rifle.
But now, this kind of artillery did not stop at all, and almost did not worry about the problem of overheating of the barrel, and continued to fire! The dense bullets kept flying, shocking everyone's eyes.

With a graceful S-shaped maneuver, the P-700 missile bypassed the barrage of bullets and accurately hit the side of the Eisenhower!
