At the moment, Iron Man seemed to be trapped by the vast number of fighter jets. No one knew how things would turn out, or whether Iron Man could break through the layers of encirclement and escape alive.
If he still could not break out before the carrier strike group arrived, the situation would become even worse!
This carrier strike group originally consisted of one Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, two Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers, four Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, one Perry-class frigate, two Los Angeles-class attack submarines, and one Sacramento-class fast combat support ship. To completely blockade this stretch of sea, the dozen or so warships deployed during the previous capture operation had also been transferred here. More than twenty warships in total formed a tight formation, sealing off the entire sea!
The carrier strike group already possessed formidable air-defense capabilities, and the powerful Aegis System could greatly interfere with the Iron Man suit. With so many fighter jets disrupting him, it would be difficult for the Iron Man suit to completely evade attacks from the warships!
Before the carrier strike group could even draw near, its attack had already arrived!
An SM-2 Block III shipborne surface-to-air missile launched from a destroyer and shot toward Iron Man within the encirclement!
Unlike the small air-to-air missiles launched by fighter jets, this medium shipborne surface-to-air missile not only had far greater explosive power, but could also detonate in advance once it reached its preset distance from the target, using a massive amount of shrapnel to blanket the target.
Trapped by numerous fighter jets and with his maneuverability greatly reduced, the Iron Man suit would have difficulty evading this missile strike!
Flames blasted from the missile's tail as it sped toward the Iron Man suit. The old butler spotted the incoming missile, and his expression
