"Target ship? Are there any other patrolling vessels nearby?"
If this mission only resulted in the filming of a target ship by the US military,
It has no persuasive power in international public opinion whatsoever.
In exercises and training exercises in various countries, target ships are almost always decommissioned vessels.
And they are from a very long period of time before they should be scrapped.
They deployed the latest generation of fighter jets, and then just took a few photos of the target ship.
You probably won't even make back the cost of the gas.
"Report! The wingman patrolled the nearby waters and did not spot any approaching US warships."
There are still 4 target ships!
It appears that the main purpose of this nighttime exercise was to test the F-14 carrier-based aircraft's anti-ship capabilities.
"Commander Wang, we need to increase our altitude; we're too easily exposed as we are!"
Commander Wang was hesitating.
The soldier received a reply from his wingman regarding the radar signal.
"Report to command center: Four enemy aircraft have been detected approaching the area where our aircraft are located."
How far is it?
"About 50 kilometers!"
"Can you detect what kind of fighter jet it is?"
The J-20 wingman looked toward the direction marked on the radar.
I was startled by the holographic helmet myself.
It not only showed the altitude, speed, and acceleration of the enemy aircraft,
They even simulated the structural features of the enemy's fighter jets.
"According to the J-20's early warning system, it is an enemy F-14 fighter jet!"
"Commander Wang, could it be that the enemy has already discovered us?"
Four F-14s against two J-20s – they were clearly prepared!
Commander Wang shook his head.
This is the enemy's training area. If we're really discovered...
They couldn't have been so discreet; they would have already activated their fire control radar and locked on.
Are we supposed to wait until we find them first?
Previously, the Su-27 had not yet entered the boundary of the exercise area.
The other side's F-14s were already flying close to the enemy, attempting to intercept them.
"Blow up those two target ships!"
"To confirm again, should we launch anti-ship missiles to attack the enemy target ship?"
Commander Jiang, the pilot of the J-20 fighter jet, thought he had misheard.
Wasn't the main mission supposed to be reconnaissance, to determine the location and distribution of the enemy's carrier fleet?
Open fire directly?
The other party will definitely react!
His life was tied to this J-20C.
"I repeat, fire!"
"J-20C lead aircraft received! Open the ventral bomb bay!"
"Locking target area 1, target ship 2..."
"Target locked, fire!"
Two YJ-12 anti-ship missiles were ejected from the J-20C's ventral weapons bay.
Two loud booms.
The decks of target ships No. 1 and No. 2 were penetrated.
A plume of black smoke billowed up, and the massive explosion blasted a huge hole in the middle of the target ship.
The seawater surged and spread onto the ship.
"Report to command center: Two anti-ship missiles have hit the target, and the target is sinking!"
From the large screen in the command center, one can view the scene from the first-person perspective of a J-20C pilot.
Under the attack of the YJ-12 anti-ship missile, the target ship that was hit was already half submerged in the seawater.
It will sink completely in just a few minutes.
What are the enemy aircraft's actions?
Commander Wang contacted Brigade Commander Jiang, the lead pilot of the J-20C.
The violent explosion immediately attracted the attention of the F-14 formation.
"Damn, what's that sound? Isn't it just our carrier-based aircraft formation that's on mission today?"
"I don't know, we're still 20 kilometers from the target area."
"Could it be that Chinese fighter jets have actually entered our exercise area and activated the Patriot air defense system?"
"Impossible! The explosion was so close. If the interception system had been activated, even a blind person could have seen such a huge explosion!"
"All fighter jets to combat readiness. Wingmen, have you spotted anything?"
The F-14 carrier strike group leader immediately issued a reconnaissance mission to his wingman.
"Report! The radar system detected no anomalies!"
"Full speed, target area, Wingman #1, ready to provide fire support at any time."
Intercept any unidentified flying objects immediately!
"Roger that, sir!!"
Brigade Commander Jiang inspected the airborne radar system.
Four American F-14 carrier-based fighter jets are accelerating towards the scene at full speed.
"Commander Wang, the enemy is accelerating their approach!"
"Immediately increase altitude and accelerate to maximum cruising speed to avoid a direct confrontation."
Returning from high altitude!
"receive!!!!"
A formation of J-20C fighter jets, performing a "dragon head raising" maneuver, unleashed a massive sonic boom that reverberated throughout the entire sea area.
It instantly rose to an altitude of 8,000 meters.
They returned to the air force base in the Southern Military District according to the planned return route.
The signal that the target ship had been sunk was immediately transmitted to the command and control room at the Marquesepor Air Force Base in the Philippines.
"Report! Target ships number 1 and 2 have been successfully hit!"
"General, I told you, our carrier-based fighter squadron is the strongest in the world."
This time, we're equipping ourselves with the latest AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile!
MacArthur was quite satisfied with the exercise.
Two anti-ship missiles hit their targets squarely.
This demonstrates that the F-14 carrier-based aircraft currently plays a significant role in enhancing the navy's anti-ship capabilities.
