Seeing that the missile was stopped, Allen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nearly! The destroyer was almost hit by the missile just now!"
The defense of the close-range firecrackers was not Allen's order, and there was no time for him to react.
This was the contribution of artificial intelligence Casey.
He had already ordered Casey to start the self-defense system.
The self-defense system was to protect the destroyer from being hurt before he gave the order.
That was why it was not hit by the missile.
Although the missile used in the exercise were all empty, and would not cause any damage to the ship.
But this was the first time that No. 001II destroyer took part in a military exercise. It couldn't be shot so easily!
Lieutenant General Shane and the crew on the ship were relieved.
Shane wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "It's so dangerous. I almost got hit!"
No. 001II destroyer was equipped with 730/1130 close-range cannons, which could be regarded as the last defense line of the destroyer.
This weapon was a kind of short-range defense equipment, which was a Gatling rapid-fire gun.
It could locate more than 40 targets at the same time!
On it, there were 11 weapons of 30 millimeters, which were quite powerful.
It could shoot more than 10,000 bullets within a minute, tightly guarding the area around the ship.
But these two anti-ship missiles were just the opening play, and there were many missiles waiting for them behind.
A minute later, the director ordered again that dozens of anti-ship missiles were launched at the same time.
Allen used the radar to calculate that there were more than 40 anti-ship missiles in this round!
It seemed that the director department had put a lot of effort into testing the air defense performance of the destroyer.
Although these cannonballs were just empty and not as expensive as real missiles, they still needed to cost.
Not far away, the captain of the Kant destroyer was observing the reaction of the destroyer with a telescope.
When he saw dozens of anti-ship missiles were launched at the same time, the corners of his mouth slightly upward.
He said, "With so many anti-ship missiles, even it's our Kant destroyer can't completely shoot them down!"
In his opinion, the Bama State's destroyer might not be able to withstand it.
On the other side, the captain of the electronic reconnaissance ship was also observing the destroyer.
He thought even the best destroyer of White Eagle State would not be able to intercept so many anti-ship missiles.
When the 40 anti-ship missiles were about to hit No. 001II destroyer, the destroyer finally reacted.
First of all, an air-defense missile was fired from the ship.
Several air-defense missiles with flames rose into the air, which was very spectacular.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The air-defense missile collided with the anti-ship missile and exploded into countless pieces!
However, the number of air-defense missiles was insufficient, so they couldn't hit all the anti-ship missiles.
More than half of the missiles broke the defense line and got close to the destroyer.
The destroyer launched dozens of smoke bombs again, which guided a few missiles losing their target.
However, there were still a few missed missiles, rushing towards the destroyer.
Then, the close-range firecrackers on the ship aimed at the fire again, and the near-range firecrackers erupted the flames of a few meters into the sky.
A barrage was formed to stop the attack of the anti-ship missiles.
The hearts of Lieutenant General Shane and other crew were in their throats.
Seeing so many anti-ship missiles flying over, it was impossible for them not to be afraid.
Everyone was waiting for the response of the destroyer, wondering if the destroyer could stop about 40 anti-ship missiles at once.
If it really succeeded, it meant that the air-defense performance of Bama State's destroyer was very close to that of White Eagle States' destroyer!
