Chapter 353: Chapter 193: The True Genius
The Drone employed a surprising and novel tactic, first approaching the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer unnoticed by traveling underwater, then surfacing and launching Missiles at the Destroyer from extremely low altitude. Because the Drone’s method of attack was so peculiar, the Destroyer’s Defense System was powerless against it. This manner of attack was somewhat akin to pressing a Pistol against an enemy’s temple and firing; none of the enemy’s countermeasures were effective.
The AGM-114 Hellfire Missile flew swiftly, striking the waterline on the side of the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer. A violent explosion ensued, followed by a thunderous “boom.” Once the smoke from the explosion had cleared, the Drone could see that the Hull of the Destroyer had only a small dent to show for it; even the enhanced AGM-114 Hellfire Missile couldn’t breach its defenses.
The Drone’s initial attack had not achieved the desired effect, and it was only at this point that the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer realized what was happening. It began to speed wildly across the sea surface, trying to distance itself from the Drone. Meanwhile, another Perry-class Frigate in the distance had also sensed something was amiss. Its Anti-Aircraft Radar locked onto the Drone above the sea surface and began launching Anti-Aircraft Missiles to strike it.
Having consumed two Missiles while sinking a Perry-class Frigate in Paris downtown, shooting down 30 Drones during its breakout—using up 30 Missiles—and firing one Missile to down an early warning aircraft, another two to attempt the elimination of an air defense position, and now one more in the recent attack on the Destroyer, the Drone had launched a total of 36 Missiles today. The Drone’s daily refresh allotment of Missiles was 44, meaning it had eight Missiles left unused.
The Drone pursued the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer with speed, maintaining close proximity before swiftly firing off AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles at it. To sink the Destroyer, the Drone kept launching AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles, the Missile trails almost forming a straight line in the sky. All were aimed at the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer ahead, specifically targeting the small dent the previous Missile had made.
In current combat scenarios, there was no way to ensure multiple Missiles hit the exact same point on a target. However, under the guidance of the Quantum Radar and precise control of the Auxiliary Brain, Yan Fei managed to have the Missiles repeatedly strike the same point. One after another, the AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles continued to hit the Destroyer, its waterline constantly enveloped in fire and explosions…
Just then, the Anti-Aircraft Missiles launched by the distant Perry-class Frigate reached the Drone from behind. Instead of employing the old tactic of shooting down the Missiles with its Naval Cannon, the Drone dipped its nose sharply before diving back into the seawater just as the Anti-Aircraft Missiles were about to hit. Having lost their target, the Missiles flew erratically in the air and then detonated after reaching their maximum range.
The Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer was fleeing awkwardly across the sea surface when the water nearby roiled, signaling the Drone’s reappearance from the depths. The Drone was also capable of underwater attack, though it could only employ a 30 millimeter Naval Cannon and AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles that had their power reduced by 20% in this capacity. These Weapons were sufficient against underwater creatures, but against war machines like Destroyers, they could not penetrate the defenses. It was imperative to ascend above the sea surface to successfully attack such targets.
Once the Drone re-emerged, it continued to hover about two meters above the sea surface, closely observing the Destroyer. The Drone had just launched six AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles at the Destroyer, engulfsing it in flames, leaving it no time to ascertain the damage done before plunging beneath the seawater. Now resurfacing, the Drone immediately noticed a large hole in the Destroyer’s waterline, with seawater violently flooding in. This confirmed that the Drone’s relentless Missile Attack had finally breached the Destroyer’s defenses.
At this point, the Drone was left with only two Missiles, but the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer had been severely damaged. Yan Fei launched the last two remaining Missiles, again choosing the AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles. Guided by the Quantum Radar, one after the other, the Missiles flew into the hole in the Destroyer’s waterline. The first Missile penetrated the interior of the Destroyer, hitting its structure and causing a severe explosion.
The last AGM-114 Hellfire Missile followed suite and struck a compartment within the Destroyer, resulting in a shuddering blast that enveloped the entire ship in flames. Another violent explosion occurred, breaking the Destroyer in two and causing it to sink rapidly.
As it turned out, the Drone’s final Missile had fortuitously hit the Destroyer’s Ammunition Depot, the ammunition’s explosive disintegration creating an immense force that split the ship in two, sending it to the seafloor in haste. Due to the suddenness of the event, combined with the extreme intensity of the explosions, not a single person from the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer made it out; they all went down with the ship.
