This Is Modern Naval Warfare!

On the other side, the Dragon Country fleet's Type 055 Destroyer group naturally wouldn't be outdone and immediately responded to the Dragon Country attack.

The YJ-21 hypersonic Supersonic Missile also emerged in response to this trend, soaring into the sky with the help of the vertical launch system.

Facing a formidable enemy this time, the destroyers unleashed their full firepower, with each destroyer launching dozens of YJ-21 into the sky! They drew dazzling arcs in the air!

At the same time, the HQ-10 close-in weapon system on the ship's hull was also activated!

The two naval guns rapidly twisted their muzzles, locking onto the US Navy's Eagle Sauce anti-ship missiles hurtling through the sky. Their precise aiming seemed to be an integral part of nature, blending seamlessly with the heavens and earth.

A dense barrage of shells erupted from the cannon muzzle!

Immediately afterwards, a dense barrage of shells erupted from the cannons, tracing fiery trails through the air like fire dragons soaring into the sky, turning it blood red.

In an instant, the sky was filled with the trajectories of missiles, which intertwined, collided, and exploded, creating a magnificent symphony of battle.

On the sea, artillery fire shuttled back and forth, like lightning ripped through the night sky, dazzling the eye.

Beneath the surface, torpedoes darted about erratically, lurking like ghosts in the waves, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any moment.

The entire battlefield was divided into three planes, each of which represented the most lethal form of attack.

Missile clashes in the sky, artillery duels on the sea, and torpedoes stealthily maneuvering underwater.

These three dimensions intertwine and complement each other, forming a breathtaking three-dimensional picture!

Both sides' ships were moving at high speed, even twisting and turning in strange arcs at sea.

This was an unprecedented scene, unlike anything seen in previous Naval Warfare.

It has the Micromanagement, and it has the spectacle!

Meanwhile, the two Type 815A Electronic Reconnaissance Ships, protected by a group of Type 055 Destroyers, were not idle either. The four spheres above their heads spun rapidly, frantically collecting and analyzing signals of the Eagle Sauce Country attack.

"The location of the Eagle Sauce) destroyer has been locked, 3 nautical miles from 12 o'clock! Coordinates: 25°12′25′N, 167°22′34′W."

"The position of the USS Eagle Sauce III has been locked... It is moving towards 6 o'clock! Speed: 20 knots!"

"The location of the Eagle Sauce No. 10 destroyer has been locked... This destroyer is launching Eagle Sauce Harpoon Missiles. Destroyers No. 5 and No. 6 of the Dragon Country reconnaissance fleet are requested to intercept!"

"..."

It accurately transmitted the signals of the Eagle Sauce fleet to every single Type 055 Destroyer.

It's like a master brain, making the most precise calculations for all the body's organs.

This is Modern Warfare; this is electronic and information-based warfare!

This was a war scene unlike anything ever seen in the history of the Azure Star Instance.

At this moment, at Midway Atoll, the combined forces of Dragon Country and the Eagle Sauce Country numbered only about 100 warships, yet they managed to create a spectacle that even hundreds of thousands of ships in previous Instances had failed to achieve.

This scene completely stunned all the viewers in the Instance stream.

There was nothing they could do; they had never seen Naval Warfare of this magnitude in all these years.

[Is this what Modern Warfare is like?! So this is what the most complete battle in the Lin Ye Instance should look like.]

No wonder previous Challengers were all utterly crushed; this is a fight on a completely different level!

This is not a battle that can be commanded by the human brain; it relies entirely on the manipulation of modern technology.

[This is truly a feast for the eyes! Looking at it now, all those previous Naval Warfare were clearly just child's play.]

[It was only a dozen or so destroyers, yet their back-and-forth maneuvering gave the impression of a massive army.]

[This is just the initial battle; if it were a full-scale war between the two fleets, it's unimaginable what a spectacular scene it would be!]

[I suddenly had a bold idea. Lin Ye probably added the choice between the Eagle Sauce Country and Bear Country to the Instance because he wanted to see the competition between the two Instance... It feels like Lin Ye is playing chess against himself.]

[...]

Captivated by the thrilling battle, many spectators even forgot that they were in Instance and that the two sides were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

At this moment, everyone's mind is focused solely on the battle itself.

It is the purest and most fundamental battle!

The war continues!

In the blink of an eye, the battle had reached a fever pitch.

Dragon Country and the Eagle Sauce Country have already engaged in two rounds of missile exchanges.

The sea off Midway Atoll was now a scene of billowing smoke and fire.

At this level of combat, the sheer power of ammunition attacks is no longer the decisive factor in determining victory or defeat.

Because both the YJ-21 and the Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile have the capability to kill with a single strike.

Missiles of this size can sink enemy warships instantly if they can hit the hull.

The real deciding factor lies in whose reconnaissance system can pinpoint the enemy ship's location faster.

And whose guidance system is more advanced, and whose missile is faster?

A more advanced reconnaissance system can gain the upper hand, while a more efficient guidance system can greatly improve the margin for error.

The speed of a missile determines whether it can bypass the guidance system for a precise strike.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Dragon Country's Type 055 Destroyer has a significant advantage!

Both are electronically guided systems, so they are roughly equal in terms of pure guidance capabilities.

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are equipped with advanced Aegis Combat Systems and sea-based missile defense systems, enabling them to intercept missiles by launching SeaRAM.

The Type 055 Destroyer relies on the HQ-10 close-in weapon system, which has advantages in terms of speed, light weight, rapid response, and high guidance accuracy.

In terms of reconnaissance systems, the detection capabilities of both are roughly equivalent. Within a 10-nautical-mile War Zone, both systems can pinpoint the location of enemy warships in the shortest possible time.

The only difference is the missile's flight speed!

The YJ-21 anti-ship missile is a hypersonic anti-ship missile with a terminal velocity of Mach 10!

The Eagle Sauce Harpoon Missile and Naval Strike Missile have a maximum speed of only about Mach 1.

Although in close-range Naval Warfare, neither side could fully utilize the missiles' maximum speed.

Even a slight speed advantage can be absolutely fatal in Naval Warfare of this caliber!
