Chapter 477: Chapter 228 Mysterious Explosive_2 Chapter 477: Chapter 228 Mysterious Explosive_2 Logically, if Yan Fei wanted to attack a warship, he should have chosen an anti-ship missile. However, after the Drone’s upgrade, its Weapon Storage did not include dedicated anti-ship missiles. Although the power of both AGM-114 Anti-tank Missiles and AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles had been enhanced by the Drone, Yan Fei, having had previous experiences using them against warships, was thoroughly disappointed with their power and did not wish to use them for this attack. The GBU-28 Laser Guided Bomb, on the other hand, is designed for penetrating underground and mainly used for ground attacks, which makes it unsuitable for attacking fast-moving warships on the sea surface. With no other choice, Yan Fei could only use the AGM-129 stealth cruise missile to attack the US Military Navy vessels.
The original AGM-129 stealth cruise missile was extrely costly to produce; it is a strategic weapon of the US Forces and naturally was not intended for attacking naval targets on the sea surface. Therefore, in common knowledge, no one knew if this type of missile could attack surface targets. Yan Fei’s use of it to strike US Military Warships would be the first naval attack in history by this type of missile, and also a valuable real-world test.
Under the control of the Auxiliary Brain, the Drone’s belly at an altitude of 25,000 ters suddenly opened, revealing the pitch-black internal Ammunition Depot. Within a brief mont, four AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles were launched, followed by the quick closure of the Drone’s belly. The instant the Drone’s belly opened, two US Military Navy vessels detected the Drone with their Radar. Yet, as the Drone’s belly closed rapidly, the Drone regained its stealth capability, and the Radar on those two vessels lost the detection of the target.
The Radar operators aboard the two vessels had noticed the anomaly, but they thought their Radar had just malfunctioned, so they did not take the incident seriously or report it to their superiors.
The AGM-129 stealth cruise missile features a unique stealth aerodynamic design and smart structural arrangent, granting it a decent capability in Radar evasion, infrared stealth, and acoustic stealth; in addition, the body and wing surfaces of the AGM-129 stealth cruise missile are made of electromagnetic wave absorbing composite materials and coatings, significantly reducing reflection of Radar waves and making it difficult to be detected by enemy Radar; finally, the AGM-129 stealth cruise missile is powered by a fuel-efficient turbofan engine with air-cooled high-pressure turbine blades, which not only increase the missile’s thrust and range but also significantly reduce its infrared signature.
Thus, as the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles flew towards their targets in the sky, the Radars aboard the two US Military Navy vessels did not detect the incoming missiles, completely unaware of the impending disaster.
The flight speed of the AGM-129 stealth cruise missile was not particularly fast, only thrice the speed of sound. When they arrived above the US Military Navy vessels, less than 80 seconds had passed. At this juncture, the Radars on the vessels detected sothing unusual. Yet, even then, they mistook the approaching projectiles for four birds. On their Radar screens, the reflections from these four AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles were very small, resembling little birds. The only oddity was that these ‘birds’ were moving at an alarmingly high speed.
The Radar System of the US Forces had never encountered such a scenario, so no imdiate warning was issued. The Radar observers on the vessels were also sowhat complacent and did not register the anomaly. Then they saw four streaks of light in the sky as the four AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles descended in a vertical fashion, aiming for the decks of the US Military Navy vessels.
Yan Fei did not know how powerful the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles truly were, so he launched four of them at once, allocating two missiles to each vessel. By then, even the ordinary personnel on the vessels could see the incoming missiles, but it was already too late to respond. All they saw was the flash of the missile tails as four missiles hit the superstructure of the two vessels.
Under the trendous kinetic energy of the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles’ dive, the sturdy Hulls of the two vessels were penetrated as if they were made of clay by the two AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles each. Then, it was as if ti stood still; suddenly, the interiors of the vessels bulged outward; next, the Hulls, like balloons inflated to the brink, were violently blown apart in an explosion.
With the Explosive filled inside the warheads of the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles, whether it was an Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer or a Perry-class Frigate, both were torn apart in the explosion of the mighty Explosive. Subsequently, the Missiles on the vessels detonated in a sympathetic explosion, the powerful force of the ammunition’s explosive disintegration causing irreparable damage to the Hulls. Then, riddled with holes, the Warships rapidly sank, disappearing beneath the sea surface permanently, all within a minute.
In the attack by the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles, the navy soldiers on the two warships were either killed directly by the blasts or knocked unconscious by the shock of the explosions. Consequently, when the warships quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, not a single person escaped. With a single strike, Yan Fei had sunk two of the US military’s main forces. The warships, including the soldiers onboard, were completely annihilated and could be described as utterly wiped out.
The attack was so smooth and the victory so brilliant that even Yan Fei was sowhat stunned. He had never imagined that the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles could be so powerful; not only were they completely stealthy during flight, but the force of their attack was also enormous. This gave him a full appreciation of the might of the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles.
The drones had only made a small showing of their strength by launching four AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles, which had taken out the US military vessels that previously required over ten AGM-114 anti-tank missiles to sink. This displayed their ferocious combat power after an upgrade, which brought Yan Fei great joy. Only with such formidable combat power did he feel capable of defending himself.
Yan Fei was definitely going to develop Misty Island extensively and was planning to relocate most of his factories there. By that ti, in the eyes of so, Misty Island would be highly coveted. Once they discovered that Misty Island was isolated at sea, far from China’s protection, they would surely co to plunder it. With his powerful martial force, if anyone dared to attack him, he would let them taste the severity of the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles.
The US Forces’ AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles were feared because they were not only stealthy but also equipped with terrifying nuclear warheads, which could blast one to death at any mont. Yan Fei’s AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles were about to beco feared because, aside from nuclear warheads, these were the most formidable among all conventional missile weapons. If one AGM-129 stealth cruise missile failed to reach its target, then a few more could be launched. As long as Yan Fei persisted in attacking, there was no target the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles couldn’t destroy.
The drone hovered at an altitude of 25,000 ters, 80 kiloters away, and launched AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles that sank two US military vessels. The Los Angeles-class attack submarine beneath the sea surface also noticed sothing amiss above, as the sounds of the warship explosions were simply too loud to ignore.
However, the drone’s stealth capabilities were too strong; even the missile destroyers on the sea surface could not detect it, let alone the attack submarine below. Not knowing the situation on the surface, the submarine didn’t dare to erge for reconnaissance. Instead, it quickly turned around and headed towards Okinawa Island. There, the US military’s largest base in Japan boasted formidable strength. As long as it reached the vicinity of the military base, the Los Angeles-class attack submarine would be safe.

Yesterday, there was no update for this book because I needed to quiet down and review for an exam, which left no ti to write, so it was unavoidable. The exam is now done, and although I’m not sure of the outco, I hope everything turns out well! After returning ho, I quickly started writing and uploaded, hoping for everyone’s understanding!
