Chapter 1144 Laser Beam, Bombardment!

A sharp alarm sounded inside the huge ground-effect vehicle: "Attention, we are about to be attacked, we are about to be attacked!"

The huge ground-effect vehicle has the same carrying capacity as a ship, but it is definitely not as strong as a ship. Just one short-range missile can cause serious damage to it!

Now, after discovering the F-16 flying in the opposite direction, the pilot of the ground effect vehicle has begun to operate the huge ground effect vehicle, preparing to go into a dive. At the same time, various infrared decoy bombs are also ready to be launched at any time. However, they are not sure!

"Open the front hatch, quickly!" At this moment, Tikhonov shouted loudly.

At this time, this type of ground effect vehicle has been redesigned with doors at the front and back. In this way, there is no need for complicated reversing to enter. Just drive up, and then drive out directly from the other side!

Now, Tikhonov's order was certainly not to drive down! Now, they were still dozens of meters above the ground, and they would definitely fall to their death if they went down!

Several soldiers around him had already understood what Tikhonov meant. The moment Tikhonov gave the order, they had already jumped onto the laser tank in the front!

System starts, preheats, charges supercapacitor, reactor, 100% power output!

All this happened very quickly, and according to Tikhonov's order, the front hatch was slowly opening!

Suddenly, a huge noise came. The top of the hatch was where the eight engines were placed side by side! At the same time, the ground effect vehicle was flying at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, and the relative airflow was also 500 kilometers per hour! These airflows blew directly into the aircraft through the hatch opened in front. In an instant, although everyone was fastened in their seats, they still felt the surging airflow, and some unfixed objects also flew up! Fortunately, the hatch was not opened at the back, otherwise, they would have been blown out directly!

The system started normally! After entering the laser tank, several operators were extremely nervous. After all, they had experimented with using laser beams to shoot down air-to-ground missiles during training, and it had proven to be completely effective. But now, they were in flight! Could the processing speed of the laser tank's sighting system keep up?

Fortunately, they were the first one and were almost next to the front hatch. When the hatch opened, they could see the situation in the front hemisphere clearly!

The laser tank's optoelectronic aiming system switched to air defense mode and soon maintained stable tracking.

"Charged to 10 percent, only 0.05 megawatts of power!" said another soldier in charge of the laser cannon.

The supercapacitor charges too slowly! This amount of energy may not be enough to destroy the enemy's fighter plane!

Meanwhile, above, pilot Kritsev listened to Tikhonov's command in the whistling wind: "Keep steady and let our laser tanks take it out!"

Therefore, Kritsev could only maintain steady flight, which made him a perfect target!

Suddenly, he saw a puff of white smoke coming out from under the opponent's wing!

"Oh no, the F-16 launched a missile!"

Missiles! A ground-effect vehicle with an aluminum alloy skin can never withstand the bombardment of missiles!

And almost at the same time, he saw the most unforgettable scene.

A red laser beam shot out from the open cabin door and flew towards the missile!

Almost instantly, it hit the target accurately! The missile flipped in the air and fell down. It seemed that the power of the laser beam was not enough, but it hit the missile's guidance system accurately!

It's so cool! Kritsev almost wanted to shout, he had a wide field of vision and could see the most clearly!

When the opposing F-16 pilot discovered this laser beam, it was obvious that he was stunned.

What was that? Tom was very confident in his missile just now. The other party was definitely the best living target for him! The missile locked onto the target easily, and then, just like in training, he pressed the button and launched the missile!

What happened next? Then, the missile was destroyed by a beam of red light from the other side. What was this red light? It must be a laser! The Soviets not only have space laser cannons and ship-borne laser cannons, but even this huge ground-effect vehicle now has laser weapons?

Thinking of this, Tom already knew that something was wrong. Although as a National Guard pilot he had the responsibility to defend the territory, he also had a more important task, which was to return to the base and inform the commander of the base of the news!

The place where the Soviets landed was not in the south, but in the north!

Thinking of this, Tom pushed the nose of his plane, preparing to make a 180-degree turn and fly back!

"Lock on the target, laser beam, bombard!"

Then, a thin laser beam was fired out from the laser transmitter on the top again, this time, directly at the turning plane!

"Boom!" The laser beam hit the fuel tank in the middle of the fuselage. Although the power of the laser beam was not the greatest, it still easily tore open the aluminum alloy skin and then ignited the fuel in the tank.

This is different from a missile warhead attack. The warheads of air-to-air missiles are all broken-rod warheads. These broken rods can knock open the skin or be sucked into the engine, etc., and then cause the fighter to malfunction. Since the temperature of the jet engine is very high, it can cause a fire and eventually cause the opponent's plane to crash.

And now, it is even more direct. A laser beam with a power of 0.25 MW can directly ignite the fuel!

Although the front hatch was closed after the laser beam was fired, the interior of the entire ground effect vehicle had changed. Many people felt as if a layer of skin was blown off their faces, but they were all extremely excited.

Our laser weapon destroyed an American plane!

Looking at the fireball that appeared in the sky, Kritsev was extremely excited. The weapons of the army were so powerful! If our ground effect vehicles could also be equipped with such weapons, then we would not be afraid of anything!

However, the early warning aircraft has been notified, so why haven’t the escort fighters arrived yet?

Originally, their formation was escorted by a group of MiG-29 fighters, but those fighters were transferred to the south a few minutes ago to participate in the air battle. At the same time, according to the predetermined plan, the carrier-based aircraft group on the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier of the Northern Fleet should also fly over, right?

What exactly went wrong?
