Chapter 807 Attack Failure
"The target has been hit, but it's still at large." The radar operator's voice was filled with disbelief.
Just now, the two echoes of our missiles completely overlapped with the target, and they had definitely hit the target! However, the target was actually intact and continued to fly!
What is that? Is it a space fortress? Damn! I've read too many science fiction novels. In this era, there is absolutely no such black technology. So, what means did the other party use to make the attack of our missiles ineffective?
Until now, the opponent is still flying at an ultra-low altitude, which has actually aroused the suspicion of the two people. If the target is a fighter plane, the attack has been completed and it is now returning. The opponent should be flying at a high altitude. Moreover, only by flying at a high altitude and accumulating energy can it help to get rid of their pursuit.

However, the other party has been flying at a very low altitude! The other party has no intention of continuing to climb higher. What kind of aircraft is this?
What's more, what puzzled them even more was that until now, only one such aircraft had been found on the sea. Generally speaking, it was already the limit for an aircraft to carry two heavy anti-ship missiles. How on earth did the other party do it and launch six anti-ship missiles at once?
The target's echo was so loud, could it be a speedboat? However, unless my radar was broken, how could a speedboat fly on the water?
Fortunately, the mystery was soon solved. Just as the Sparrow missile attack failed, the Tomcat fighter jets in the sky also dived down rapidly with their wings swept back, like an eagle catching chicks.

Under the wing, two Sidewinder missiles once again firmly locked onto the target. The enemy's infrared signature was too obvious!
With a flash of fire, the Sidewinder missile flew out of the rack and pounced downwards!

"They launched two more missiles, five kilometers away from us!" the radar operator shouted.
At this time, the personnel in the ground effect vehicle were extremely nervous. Just now, when two Sparrow missiles flew over, they thought they were going to die. However, who could have thought that after two explosions, except for a hole in the rear cabin and a piece of the T-shaped vertical tail being cut off, the entire aircraft was still intact! No one was injured, and they continued to return!
At this time, the news of the successful attack had been transmitted back to Argentina, and the Argentine Navy launched Mirage F1 fighter jets to greet them. Although the Mirage F1's range was not enough to attack the American aircraft carrier formation, it was still possible to drive away the American fighter jets that followed.
However, how could the Americans let this culprit return! The American fighter planes fired missiles again!

"Shut down all engines!" At this moment, Marchtans gave the order loudly.
Turn off the engines? When they heard this, the others were stunned. This shouldn't happen. Shouldn't we retreat quickly at this time? Now, we have to turn off all the engines?
However, as the captain, Marchants had the power of command. After he gave the order, the others immediately obeyed. Colombo turned off the row of buttons on his side one by one.
The hot flames at the tail of the NK-87 turbofan engine disappeared, and the roar also died down. Colombo held the joystick tightly, ready for some violent landings.

After all, this is still an aircraft, and its strength cannot be compared with that of a warship. If the landing posture is wrong, it can easily disintegrate at the moment of landing!
And now, as the engine power disappeared, the huge aircraft was rapidly decreasing in altitude! It was only a dozen meters high, and now, it fell slightly and touched the sea surface!

The sea water splashed, and the cold sea water washed over the entire aircraft. Even the engine in front was hit by the waves and cooled down quickly.
Two Sidewinder missiles flew over and suddenly I couldn't see anything.

Originally, the tail flames of the eight turbofan engines were the most obvious infrared signals, allowing them to track them easily, but now, the signal disappeared, leaving only the cold sea water, nothing else!
Lost the target! The Sidewinder missile continued to fly for several hundred meters, grazing the sea surface, and finally exploded in the air.
Another escape! Machetans didn't know whether to be worried or happy. If he were flying a plane, he would never dare to turn off the engine to avoid the missile. That would be tantamount to seeking death! However, after turning off the engine, this ground effect vehicle can be used as a boat and land on the sea. Moreover, with the cooling of the sea water, he was able to get rid of two missiles again!
However, the Americans will certainly not give up. When the Sidewinder missile lost its target, the American plane must have flown within visual range. Fortunately, it was night time, and hopefully the other side couldn't see anything!

"They made an emergency landing on the sea!" shouted the radar operator in the rear cabin. At this moment, he was extremely surprised. It was undoubtedly an airplane that was flying at a very low altitude just now, but now, it had landed on the sea again!
This is not a passenger plane! It has a flat belly and good sealing, so it is no problem for it to land on the sea! This is a fighter plane! The fighter plane's air intake enters the seawater, which is enough to sink the entire fighter plane! The fighter plane's buoyancy is not enough!
What on earth is this?
It was pitch black at night and it was indeed impossible to detect with the naked eye. However, the Tomcat fighter's means of detection were not limited to radar. There was also an AN/ALR-23 infrared detection pod under the nose and in front of the landing gear.

In later times, the optoelectronic search device equipped on the Su-27 in front of the windshield has been talked about by countless military fans. In fact, the United States used this device earlier, and it was already mature on the Tomcat fighter. Moreover, when the Tomcat fighter was improved later, the new device was more effective. It's just that the radar technology of the Americans was too advanced, and they always thought that this thing was useless, so they didn't develop it anymore.
And now, the radar officer in the rear cabin was operating this infrared pod and observing the situation on the sea. With the help of the radar, he quickly found the target. When he enlarged the searched image and presented it clearly on the display screen, the radar officer was completely shocked.

God, what is that?
Whatever it is! Attack first! At this time, the pilot in the front cabin has already adjusted his weapon to the cannon. Since the Sidewinder missile can't lock the target, he might as well use the most direct method and kill the opponent with the cannon!
Just when he was about to follow the instructions from the rear cabin and dive to attack, the voice of his wingman came from his headset: "Hot Dog, Hot Dog, we found another similar aircraft in Sea Area 16! They are preparing to attack!"
