Chapter 591 The US military suffered heavy losses: The United States is completely ruthless
"Chief, what's going on?"
In the conference room, Xu Huasheng couldn't help but ask while watching the live broadcast.
There were many things that Xu Huasheng was not involved in, but Xu Huasheng felt that the USS America was hit by the Granite anti-ship missile.
As for how Aidid got this thing, Xu Huasheng didn't know. After all, Ka Dazuo was originally interested in this thing. As for how much Ka Dazuo bought in the end, Xu Huasheng was not involved.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Aidid's armed forces got four anti-ship missiles from somewhere. After they were launched, one was intercepted and the remaining three hit the USS America. Maybe they hit the oil tank. Or the ammunition depot caused an internal explosion, and now the USS America is probably going to sink..."
The leader of the old man said with a smile, which made Xu Huasheng confused.
"Chief, whose missiles are so awesome? Although the United States is a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, there are many guards with swords around it."
Xu Huasheng asked his question directly. As soon as he said this, several people in the room couldn't help laughing.
"Xiao Xu, this incident is actually largely due to luck. The USS America actually docked 30 kilometers away from the coastline of Mogadishu. And the anti-ship missiles used by Aidid and the others, according to intelligence, have a speed of about 2.5 Mach was around, and the US military relaxed its vigilance. It did not expect that Aidid would have anti-ship missiles, and it was a big mistake for being careless..."
After the leader of the old man finished speaking, Xu Huasheng understood instantly, and the smile on his lips couldn't stop.
Damn, now I know what's going on.
These four anti-ship missiles are definitely granite anti-ship missiles, and they are definitely sold by China. Otherwise, why would China know that it only has four missiles? Aidid must have bought four of them, and there might be people from China in Somalia.
Besides, the USS was hit mostly due to luck. If the United States did not seek death, it would never have been hit by granite so easily.
If the USS America is 300 kilometers away from the coastline, then not long after the Granite anti-ship missiles are launched, American warships will be able to detect these missiles. By then, various interception weapons will be launched. Even if they cannot completely intercept, at least they will not be able to intercept only one. .
Although Granite is awesome, if there is really a distance, the United States will never be so miserable. It fired four missiles and three missiles hit him.
And luckily, it might have hit the fuel tank and caused an explosion. This was really unlucky.
Sometimes, the biggest enemy in a war is not a powerful opponent, but oneself who underestimates the enemy. In Somalia, the United States underestimated its enemy from the beginning, seriously underestimated its enemy.
If you don't underestimate the enemy, the special operation will not fail.
If the enemy was not underestimated, the American soldiers who rescued the special forces behind would not have been surrounded and finally surrendered.
If we do not underestimate the enemy, we will not let more than 20,000 Somali government troops die.
If the enemy is not underestimated, the camp will not be attacked.
If the enemy was not underestimated, the USS America would not be about to sink.
"Xiao Xu, it seems that your original point of view is correct. The future naval battle model will probably downplay the role of aircraft carriers. This time Aidid only has four missiles. If Aidid has enough missiles this time, As for missiles, let alone the USS America, the entire USS America aircraft carrier battle group will be destroyed. Facts have proved that the faster the missile, the more difficult it is to intercept. If the speed of anti-ship missiles can reach Mach 5, Mach 10, or even in the future. Mach 20, then it is very likely that these warships will become living targets..."
The words of the leader of the old man caused various experts in the room to discuss.
This time the USS America put on a show for countries around the world, and at the same time told countries around the world that aircraft carriers are not omnipotent. As long as the anti-ship missiles are fast and advanced enough, the aircraft carrier cannot withstand them.
"Chief, I am afraid that all countries will vigorously develop anti-ship missiles next."
Xu Huasheng said with a smile that everyone is not a fool. With the United States as a lesson, everyone will naturally see clearly what should be developed.
Countries that are capable will definitely vigorously develop anti-ship missiles, and the United States will probably not only develop anti-ship missiles, but also work hard to develop weapons to prevent anti-ship missiles.
However, this does not affect the development of China. China is now developing in a systematic way. Not only missiles, but also various unmanned equipment.
UAVs, unmanned submarines, unmanned ships, various missiles, and various robot dogs.
In the future, the main focus will be unmanned. As long as there is a war, the production line will be at full capacity and no one will be needed if possible.
Just like Mogadishu now, they can't get out of the tunnels.
If it were China in the future, there would be no need to worry at all. If large-scale robot dogs, unmanned combat vehicles, etc. are sent over, they can be piled up to death.
Not to mention Aidid's simple underground city, even the underground city built in Libya will be able to kill them once China's unmanned system is successfully constructed. In the dungeon, unmanned robots are more flexible, and their numbers are endless like an army of ants.
While other countries were watching the excitement, the United States finally made preliminary statistics on losses.
Clinton almost fainted after seeing this momentary loss.
In last night's raid, the U.S. camp in Somalia suffered a brutal attack. The number of coalition soldiers killed alone was as high as 6548, and 4276 people were injured. There were only a few people who were not injured.
The entire camp was in a mess, and a lot of equipment had been blown up. Aidid's armed forces left only 3753 corpses.
In one night, more than 6,500 soldiers were killed. This was the deadliest loss for the United States since the Vietnam War. And that's just on land.
In the Navy, the USS America was hit and it seems that it cannot be saved. The total number of personnel on the USS America is about 1076, but so far, only people have been rescued, and the remaining people are still being searched and rescued.
The United States suffered heavy losses, and most of the various fighter planes on board were also lost.
At the same time, the USS America was hit, which frightened the U.S. Navy. They did not dare to approach the Somali waters at all, and only one ship was sent for rescue, let alone salvage.
Now the United States only dares to let submarines operate nearby and secretly watch the USS America.
There are many U.S. military secrets on the USS America. Not only the aircraft carrier itself, but also some aircraft that fell into the sea, these aircraft also have early warning aircraft and fighter jets with other functions.
If this plane was seized by another country, the U.S. military’s secrets would be leaked.
Angry, the United States is completely angry this time. So at two o'clock in the afternoon, US time, US President Clinton directly gave a televised speech. This time the United States was going to be ruthless.
