Chapter 1780: Network Collection Operation 17

Seeing the leader Captain Hawke playing so crazy, the wingman pilots were naturally unwilling to be outdone. Pilots belong to the aristocracy in the military, and the British tradition is still well maintained; many pilots have aristocratic blood. It cannot be said that they are playboys, but they still do pranks.

Once done.

The wingman pilot who had just been transferred from the mainland also wanted to play tricks on an Argentine navy. He wanted Captain Hawke to take a good look at his skills and strength.

So they directly lowered the plane and started to dive downwards. When they were approaching the warship, they suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane and flew towards the sky. It was precisely because of this action that the Argentines were completely angered. They could tolerate this, and they still had

What kind of face does it have to face the domestic people?

In the opinion of two British pilots, the anti-aircraft weapons on Argentine warships have a lower chance of shooting down a jet than buying a lottery ticket to win the jackpot.

But what they didn't know was that the Argentine warship had Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.

Seeing the British's continued provocations, the Argentine Navy decided to launch a counterattack.

Then they took out four Stinger missile launchers, two missiles and one aircraft. With the capabilities of the Stinger missiles, the British would definitely not feel comfortable.

When the United States and the Soviet Union sold weapons to foreign armies, most of them would neuter some high-end configurations; the weapons and equipment that buyers got in the end were what people often call the "monkey version." Only some basic functions were retained, and the United States and the Soviet Union generally included all high-tech items.

Dismantled. The M1A1 main battle tank that was sold to the Middle East by the US military in later generations was beaten to pieces by extremist groups. It also had some mechanical failures at every turn, causing Arabs to complain. They thought that the United States was crazy to make money.

Come and earn money for their repairs!

In addition, there is the Soviet Union, which is not much better than the United States; the "monkey version" T-72 tank, which is popular in the Middle East, is also beaten to pieces by RPG rocket launchers at every turn. However, the United States and the Soviet Union do not hide this, they

It is admitted that these foreign trade versions of weapons and equipment have indeed been castrated. On the one hand, it is to reduce costs; on the other hand, it is fear of high-end technology being leaked. The self-use versions are generally much higher-end than the foreign trade versions, and they seem to have become the most popular in the international arms sales market.

An unspoken rule.

If it was a castrated version of the Stinger missile, maybe the British fighter jets could still escape; but now it is a high-end product smuggled directly from the US military warehouse.

As the country with the strongest scientific and technological strength in the world, its weapons and equipment can definitely be more than 20 years ahead of other countries. Although the UK is an ally, it has a lot of technical information; it is impossible to leak it to them.

In addition, U.S. weapons and equipment are not sold to everyone. The main targets of arms sales are always those countries that are relatively cooperative; even allies. Of course, some small arms will fall into some uncontrolled countries, but basically they will not involve anything.

The problem of leaking high-tech military technology; after all, the quantity is very limited.

But one thing Americans can guarantee; since the Falklands War began, not a single weapon has been sold to the Argentines; not even a bullet.

Besides, the traditional purchaser of Argentina's army is the French, but because the war was directed to the United Kingdom, the Argentines no longer trust them at all.

Perhaps we can only purchase some weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union. Of course, this is also a key surveillance target of the British intelligence agency.

In fact, Soviet weapons and equipment were transported to Argentina through the Black Cloud Group; but no one would have thought that Bao Zixuan would do business with the Argentines.

The Argentines have imposed sanctions on Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan for many years. The investigation report of the British agents shows that there are indeed some Heiyun products for sale in Argentina.

But the scale is very limited. First of all, it is expensive; the consumption level of Argentinians cannot reach it. Secondly, most of them are smuggled to Argentina through Brazil and have not been officially authorized by Heiyun.

This is also the reason why the British feel relieved about Bao Zixuan. As long as he doesn't get together with the Argentines, let him do whatever else he wants!

Seeing his wingman having so much fun, Captain Hawke naturally refused to be outdone. He had just been transferred from China and must have felt that his flying skills were very impressive. Let him see how big the gap is today.

Seeing Captain Hawk dive at such a low altitude, the wingman pilots' competitive spirit was instantly ignited. They were all young people, and they thought that their driving skills were no worse than Captain Hawk's. At the same time, they also wanted to let the Argentines take a good look; the Royal Air Force of the British Empire

Style.

Seeing two British planes, humiliating them in this way; how could the Argentine soldiers stand it?

The captain knew that shooting down the British plane at this time would inevitably cause diplomatic disputes. But they had no other choice and must defend the honor of the military.

During the Falklands War, the Argentine Navy failed to do a good job in peripheral protection; its control over the waters surrounding the Falklands was quite weak. If it had an advantage but failed to make good use of it, it would naturally be punished.

The British army encountered almost no decent resistance when it arrived at the Falklands; it blocked the waters near the Falklands very smoothly. Argentina's failure to prepare for war is not the most terrible thing; what is terrible is that it did not take this old power from the beginning.

Take it lightly; underestimate Britain's military capabilities.

In terms of armaments, the gap between the two sides is not as big as imagined. Of course, British nuclear submarines played a great role in the war. This also allowed the world to see the power of nuclear submarines. In the Argentine naval philosophy, there is indeed no anti-submarine strategy. But Argentina also has equipment.

Advantage; that is their missiles. Argentina's most outstanding performance in the war was its air force.

Most of the Argentine Air Force was trained in Germany and has very good combat capabilities; most of its equipment is imported from France. Among them, the Exocet missile has become a nightmare for the British; I have to say that Argentina is so proud, but it still has some capital.

The Exocet missiles embarrassed the British Navy in this war. Winning the war had a lot to do with luck. If Argentina's two Exocet missiles did not accidentally hit the wrong target, assuming that Argentina could have more Exocet missiles; the British Navy wanted to

And it is very difficult to retreat.

Generally speaking, the equipment of both sides has its own specialties; the British responded quickly in the early stage and was fully prepared; at most, it could only offset Argentina's favorable weather and location. This was also the main factor in the fierce fighting between the two sides before. The British side was also dragged down by the supply line; however, at the turning point of the war,

It must be an internal problem within the Argentine army.

In modern warfare, coordinated operations by sea, land and air are often emphasized, especially the battle for islands; it is not a matter of a single arm, as was well proven in the Falklands War.

The Argentine Air Force sank many British warships in a row, and even the British main aircraft carrier was almost destroyed. But the problem was that the British not only controlled the main air power, but also demonstrated their sea control and landing operations, making Argentina unable to respond.

The Argentine navy was quickly defeated in the initial test attack, and it was difficult to create any difficulties for the British navy thereafter. The most bizarre thing is the army. Argentina has more than 10,000 troops stationed on the Falklands; even though the United Kingdom tried its best, it only invested more than 3,000

army.

However, during the war, the Argentine Army not only failed to cooperate with the Air Force; it effectively attacked the landing enemies and even surrendered inexplicably despite having an absolute numerical advantage.

The army is basically the largest of any country's military in the world. In addition, President Galtieri is the commander-in-chief of the army, so he must be taken care of.

In addition, the army has made it clear that it is not that they are incompetent in combat; it is that the navy cannot provide them with effective help. It depends solely on how soldiers can fight against missiles and cannons on warships.

The Air Force itself has great military exploits, but it really can't be ignored. As a result, for a long time after the war failed, the Argentine people vented their anger on the Navy.

It was they who were cowards who did not dare to confront the British, and that was why the war failed and the Falklands were taken away by the British.

It can be said that in recent years, no one among the young people in Argentina is willing to become a navy; apart from being a street rat, everyone shouts and beats them, and their sense of existence is very low, or even non-existent.

It has been tied to cowards. If no changes are made, mentioning the Argentine Navy will only become an international laughing stock.

All his men were looking at him, and the captain knew that a decision had to be made. Then he ordered: "Launchers No. 1 and 2, attack the British lead aircraft, launchers No. 3 and 4, attack the British Air Force wingman. After receiving the order,

, launch immediately.”

"At the same time, reload immediately. The honor and disgrace of the Navy will depend on this battle."

As a soldier, he naturally understood what it meant. Everyone was holding back their strength; they had long wanted to fight the British to the death.

If you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, you will not only be sorry for the country, but you will also have no way to explain it to your descendants in the future.

Soon the four Stinger missiles were loaded, and the British were seen diving downward again.

The Argentine Navy immediately turned on the radar device on the missile; the operation of the Stinger missile is very simple; not to mention the regular Argentine army, even extremists with little education can master it quickly.

Captain Hawke felt something was wrong. The passive radar showed that it had been locked by the missile; but there were no other warships nearby. He was still very confident about this. There was a ship approaching; there was absolutely no way to escape the radar on the fighter jet.

What's going on? Is it an illusion?

Captain Hawke was not given too long to think before the missiles were launched. The two missiles were flying towards the fighter jets and they had to be evaded at this moment.

Even though the whole body is made of metal, a fighter jet is very fragile in the air. Not to mention being hit by a missile, even hitting a bird will cause great safety risks.

Captain Hawke may still be able to evade it, but his wingman is not so lucky.

At this time, he was diving towards the Argentine warship, and others directly hit the muzzle of the gun; the British military plane directly hit the flying missile.

In less than two seconds, there were two explosions in the air, and the plane disintegrated in the air; the pilot did not even have a chance to escape and was reduced to ashes.

Seeing his wingman being blown up directly, Captain Hawke knew that the Argentine warship had individual anti-aircraft missiles. But now was not the time to think about why they had such advanced weapons and equipment. The top priority was to avoid the missiles.

Fly upward with full afterburner and release decoy bombs at the same time. The chance of successfully recovering from being locked by the missile is not high, but no matter what, you have to try; otherwise, not only will the aircraft be blown up, but your own life may also be in danger.

In the vast sea, there is no need for the Argentine navy to come and catch you; sharks may want your name.

You must avoid missile attacks at all costs.

Although they have been exposed to Stinger missiles before and have a basic understanding of technical participation; what the British military does not know is that the Americans also have a hand in them.

The intelligence held by the British, or the Stinger missile used, is also an export version, with only about 7 layers of the most realistic combat performance.

In addition, the previous flight altitude was very low, and the Argentinians fired two more salvos. Combining various factors, a missile soon caught up with the aircraft piloted by Captain Hawke.

The right wing was directly knocked off, but fortunately it was still under control as much as possible; but another missile quickly hit the target, and the left wing also suffered.

I don’t know what happened to the missile launched this time, but it directly knocked off the wings of the aircraft. Even an eagle cannot fly normally after its wings are broken; let alone an airplane.

Seeing the falling plane, Captain Hawke did not hesitate; he ejected directly and separated from the plane.

Both planes were shot down, and the soldiers aboard the Argentine warship cheered.

Seeing that a pilot successfully parachuted, a recruit immediately took out his rifle and prepared to send the British to the West.

Seeing that some soldiers were about to shoot at the pilot who abandoned the plane and parachuted out, the captain quickly stopped him. What a joke, if you really do that, Argentina's international image will only get worse.

After the fighter plane was destroyed, the pilot could only abandon the fighter plane and parachute to escape. However, when the pilot was hanging on the parachute and landing slowly, he would not be attacked by the enemy. As the war progressed, there was an unknown person among the armies of all countries in the world.

There is a written rule; that is, once a pilot parachutes, he can no longer shoot at him.

In fact, parachutes have appeared very early, but the foldable parachute was only invented during World War I. World War I was also the beginning of humans using aircraft on the battlefield. However, the world leaders during World War I were still European countries.

At that time, Britain was still an empire on which the sun never set; the British Air Force was called the Royal Air Force, and most of it was restricted by the spirit of chivalry and maintained the arrogance of a gentleman.

Even if the British equipped pilots with parachutes at that time, many people were unwilling to use them; in the eyes of pilots with chivalrous spirit, they would rather die in battle than surrender. In addition, there was a big gap between the technological level at that time and now. When World War I happened

; The parachute is not as advanced as it is today. The pilot does not have an automatic ejection device when using the parachute; it requires manual operation. Escape from the cab before parachuting; therefore, in the process of using the parachute, the pilot has lost the ability to cause damage to the enemy.

weapons.

At the same time, international regulations stipulate that surrendered soldiers are prisoners. Once a soldier is unable to continue fighting and becomes an unarmed civilian, he should be protected and treated favorably. Parachuting pilots are also regarded as surrendered prisoners and should enjoy prisoner treatment.

In addition, it can be used to exchange prisoners of war, etc. In short, living parachute pilots are more valuable.

Of course, there are some countries that dare to risk the world's disapproval, but in the end their own results are not very good; even miserable can best be described as miserable.

Therefore, after the Second World War came to an end, the "prohibition of shooting parachuting pilots" was included in the Geneva Convention; parachuting pilots were regarded as surrendered prisoners. This unspoken rule also got rid of the days of no status and became a binding force for all parties.

a treaty between countries.

Even if they hate the British, they cannot attack the parachute pilots; after the soldiers heard the captain's order, they did not dare to make mistakes. It can be regarded as a successful resolution of some crises, otherwise it will only aggravate the seriousness of the situation!
