Chapter 898 Deliberately Letting Go
Western tanks all boast about compartmentalized management and devices such as pressure relief panels, but when it comes to actual combat, it is impossible to achieve anything at all.
Just like now, the ammunition inside exploded. Could a pressure relief plate prevent the tank from exploding and save the crew members inside? Don't dream! In later generations, the T-72 tank was bullied badly in the Gulf War and was notorious for being prone to explosion. In fact, no matter what kind of tank it is, when it is penetrated, the result is the same!
The Chobham armor didn't work. The weak top armor looked quite vulnerable to the Tornado fighter planes overhead. It hit the target with one strike! The Maverick missile was like a tank can opener!
However, at this moment, the two people on the Tornado fighter were a little confused.
"Sickle, didn't I tell you not to hit them?" said Hammer, the pilot in front.

"Nonsense, of course we aimed at the front. Who could have known that the British would suddenly release smoke and accelerate rapidly at this time? It has nothing to do with us. It was the British who crashed into it themselves." Sickle, the weapons operator in the rear cabin, said.
It was the British who crashed into it! They deserved it! This was what Sickle thought in his heart.
At this moment, a voice from the ground came from the headset: "Fighter No. 4528 fired a missile and destroyed a Challenger tank. Now I order Fighter No. 4528 to be shot down immediately!"
Originally, Andreas didn't want things to develop to this point, but now, his fighter plane deliberately launched a missile to destroy the British Challenger tank, and all four people inside were killed. How should he explain this? Although he was very hesitant in his heart, he had no other choice. The only way to save the situation was to shoot down his own Tornado!

The order was quickly passed to the air defense unit of the surface-to-air missile nearby. The triple-mounted air defense missiles aimed at the Tornado fighter jet in the distance. Then, tongues of fire emerged, white smoke enveloped the launch pad, and the air defense missiles took off into the air!
Since the anti-aircraft missile entered service in the 1960s, it has always been the main air defense system of the US Army. Although there is now Patriot, it is impossible to replace all of them with missiles. Moreover, the United States has also exported a large number of them to other allies.

With two salvos, the hit rate of the anti-aircraft missiles of the **** was over 90%. The missiles, dragging with flames, rushed towards the Tornado fighter in the sky. Even the British opened the hatch of their turrets and looked at the Tornado fighter overhead.
I'll take you down now if you're arrogant! This is what happens if you disobey orders!
The anti-aircraft missile continued to fly, and just before it was about to make contact with the Tornado fighter, it suddenly exploded in the air! The British on the ground were stunned. What happened?

No, this is obviously a deliberate release! The operator of the anti-aircraft missile must be held accountable!
Staring at the screen of the AN/TPS-59 radar, the operator reported to his launch company commander in the radar vehicle: "The radar equipment failed, the missile exploded early, and we did not hit the target."
The company commander nodded: "Shut down the radar immediately and conduct emergency maintenance."

A lot of information was conveyed in the two people's eyes in an instant.
Humph, no matter what the orders are, my anti-aircraft missiles are not for attacking our own people! It's good enough that I can launch two missiles for you, otherwise, I won't even let you set off the fireworks!

Of course, the two missiles were manually operated by the operator to explode! What was Commander Andreas thinking? In short, don't think of letting your own missile soldiers shoot down your own planes! This is simply ridiculous!
Moreover, the radar was malfunctioning, so they turned it off, and several radar soldiers, holding tools, slowly climbed onto the radar vehicle.
"Hammer, good job!" said a radar soldier, "The British dare to come here to show off their power, we should deal with them, and continue to use the Mavericks to blow their heads off!"

"Yes, that's right, the sickle is aimed very accurately, keep shooting!" said another radar soldier.
And at this moment, their eyes suddenly widened. Oh no, the American plane was coming up!
✨ *Your reading journey starts here!* **wtr-lab.com**
The Americans acted quickly. In a short period of time, two A-10 attack aircraft had already flown up!
The ugly-looking A-10 is actually the result of competition between the U.S. Air Force and the Army. Although the United States named this aircraft Thunderbolt, more pilots prefer to call it Warthog, as if it is an ugly-looking pig.
The engine is suspended outside and is not integrated with the fuselage. This special shape makes it very resistant to attacks, and the almost unswept wings provide good subsonic maneuverability, all of which are prepared for attacking tanks.

If it is used for ground attack, this kind of aircraft is quite good. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for air combat now.
First of all, this type of aircraft is very slow, which is an advantage when dealing with tanks, but when dealing with fighter jets, its slow speed is simply courting death.
Secondly, this type of aircraft does not have the ability to carry beyond-visual-range missiles and can only carry two Sidewinder missiles to perform this mission. Compared with the Tornado fighter with variable sweep wings, it is not going up to fight, but to be abused.
"Attention, attention, there is a plane behind you!" The radar soldiers standing on the radar vehicle shouted, but unfortunately, their shouts were not heard by the pilots above.

The A-10 pilots were very cautious, knowing that their fighters had poor performance, so they could only fly at ultra-low altitude and sneak up from behind! At this time, the Tornado fighter had just escaped from the pursuit of the missiles and did not notice the A-10 chasing behind!
"Hammer, Hammer, be careful, there is an A-10 behind us!" At this moment, the extremely anxious commander of the **** air defense missile company finally couldn't hold back any longer, pressed the radio intercom and shouted inside.
Of course, he knew that after he shouted this, his position as company commander would be over. The best outcome would be to take off his military uniform and return to the local area. He might even need to be brought to a military court or sentenced to jail.

However, he had to do this! This was his unswerving choice!
There is an A-10! Hearing this sound, the hammer suddenly opened the afterburner, the throttle was fully opened, and the RB199 engine quickly broke out and entered the full power stage!

Compared to the Tomcat fighter's TF30 engine, which needs to be carefully maintained and can cause asthma if not handled with care, the RB199's three-rotor engine is very reliable! It can be fully powered at any time! If it weren't for the complicated structure, this three-rotor engine would be more popular in the future!
And now, the Tornado fighter, driven by two RB199 engines, quickly maneuvered! Hammer pushed the control lever and performed a high-G maneuver.
