Chapter 263 Stinger Launched!

As a sniper alone, she cannot kill four people consecutively at such a long distance. Her limit depends on the reaction of the person being sniped.

If they were ordinary people, she would have no problem killing five or six of them. The key is that her four targets are not ordinary people. Anyone who can sit in this position must have suffered several assassination attempts. As long as one person falls, she will definitely react accordingly.

Using a semi-automatic large-caliber sniper rifle, firing two shots in 0.7 seconds at such a long distance, this is already the limit of M.

The night before, when discussing the assassination plan privately with Irina, the two women had already mapped out all the possibilities and the degree of danger in the event of evacuation.

After No. 7 and No. 8 fell, No. 1 and Charlotte of the European organization would definitely get on the plane immediately. Even if they wanted to hide, they could hide inside and check the situation.

If a bullet hits a passenger plane, as long as it does not hit a vital part, it will not be a big deal to the flight. At most, the plane can just take off and fly to another air force base for transfer.

If the plane is hit in the vital parts and cannot take off, it can temporarily glide to a safe area and evacuate by other means of transportation.

You know, bullets detonating fuel tanks only happens in movies. Ordinary bullets cannot detonate fuel tanks. Even armor-piercing incendiary bombs can only ignite them at most. Aircraft fuel tanks are specially designed and made of special materials. As long as they are not subjected to huge pressure instantly, causing large-scale deformation and rupture of the whole, the pressure can be relieved.

Therefore, there is almost no situation where a firebomb hits it and causes a rapid explosion. In most cases, it will burn for a while and then cause a large explosion.

This process gives the people on the plane enough time to escape.

It is precisely because of this that Maggie did not choose to snipe any part of the A340 passenger plane. Shooting the fuselage of the passenger plane would only cause the target to change transportation, and it would be almost impossible to kill them at that time.

In a panic, the target is very likely to order the passenger plane to take off immediately, and this is exactly the effect that Maggie and Irina want.

Irina prepared a sting for Maggie in advance.

The distance of more than 3000 meters is completely within the range and aiming lock of the Stinger portable surface-to-air missile.

If the missile is launched when the passenger plane is in mid-air, as long as it hits the target, the plane will be destroyed and everyone on board will die, with no possibility of escape.

Because the altitude was certainly not high enough during takeoff and climb, after the missile hit the fuselage of the passenger plane, even if it did not cause an immediate explosion, they would not have enough time to parachute.

In fact, the most important thing here is the pressure from the Hellhound troops. M’s terrifying ability has long been deeply engraved in their hearts. Facing M’s sniper attack, panic is inevitable. Even if they stay in place for half a second, even if they hesitate for a few seconds, they are very likely to be beheaded and killed on the spot.

It is this kind of pressure that prevents people from thinking completely calmly and makes wrong judgments.

It was in this panic that the A1 plane carrying European Organization No. 340 and Charlotte drove towards the runway and mistakenly took off.

Maggie threw the assembled stinger in her hand to Roy.

Roy reached out and caught it.

Then, Maggie took out the second and third ones, installed batteries in them, and came to the bridge tunnel carrying the two stingers.

On the interstate highway on the bridge, the R-Hound and T-Hound attracted almost all the attention of the search team.

A Black Hawk helicopter flew quickly over the road, and an Apache helicopter also flew over Roy and Maggie’s heads at the same time. A large number of military vehicles and police cars mixed together and drove quickly across the bridge.

Roy, holding the stinger in his hand, asked, “What happened?”

“It’s R, he’s buying time for us!” Maggie put the stinger launcher in her left hand on the ground and carried the one in her right hand on her shoulder.

“R?” Roy suddenly realized.

He understood immediately…

far away.

3500 meters away.

A huge passenger plane took off from the ground.

Fly into the sky at an angle of 30°.

Maggie, holding the Stinger, pressed the power button. The outline of the passenger plane appeared in the sight. She pressed and held the lock button…

At the same time, an alarm buzzed in the A340 cockpit.

“What’s going on?” the driver asked loudly.

“This is the active radar lock warning sound!” the crew mechanic shouted loudly behind the main pilot.

This A340 special aircraft of the European organization has been specially modified. Not only has the aircraft skin been thickened, but the interior has also been fully modified. It has an active radar warning system, and is equipped with a radar signal jamming system and infrared jamming decoy bombs.

“Start active jamming countermeasures!” the pilot shouted.

The co-pilot flipped the overhead switch and activated the fire control radar jammer.

The pilot pressed the cockpit broadcast: “Everyone, prepare for impact!”

After hearing the cabin broadcast, European Organization No. 1’s face suddenly darkened, and the organization’s agent responsible for protecting him immediately stepped forward and fastened his seat belt.

Charlotte was also firmly pinned to her seat by the organization’s agents.

“What happened?” No. 1 asked loudly.

The security captain pressed the communication headset: “What happened?”

at the same time……

Maggie, who was under the bridge, pressed the launch button.

An improved Stinger missile with dual radar and infrared guidance popped out of the launch tube, ignited the main propulsion engine five meters in the air, and rushed straight towards the target passenger plane.

Maggie dropped the launch tube, picked up the second one on the ground, put it on her shoulder, turned it on, and continued to aim and lock.

The moment the missile left the launch tube, an alarm sounded in the cockpit of the A340 passenger plane, and the warning tone became more and more urgent.

The captain, who was from the Air Force, had no time to respond to the security team leader’s response on the communication channel.

The radar showed the incoming missile was on the right side of the fuselage.

He pushed the stick forward suddenly, leveling the nose of the plane and pointing it slightly downward in order to quickly increase the speed of the aircraft. As we all know, the relative speed of an aircraft is slower when it is climbing.

Point the nose of the plane downward and gravity will help the plane accelerate quickly.

The next second, the captain pushed the stick suddenly to the left, and the fuselage deflected 30 degrees to the left. The captain pulled the joystick and the passenger plane turned left urgently.

He wanted to keep the tail of the plane pointed at the incoming missile.

In this way, even if the missile explodes nearby, the tail of the aircraft can absorb a large amount of shrapnel. If the side or front of the fuselage is used to catch the missile, it may be over immediately.

This scene was seen by the agents of the North American organization standing in the airport. No. 53 opened his eyes wide instantly and saw a white line rushing towards the passenger plane that had just taken off.

Shock was instantly written on the faces of everyone present. No. 53 opened his mouth wide and stared at the missile flying in the air.

Similarly, the air force commanders on the tower of the air force base also saw this scene, and they all opened their eyes wide, staring at the missile and the passenger plane.

Inside the cockpit of a passenger plane…

The captain pulled the joystick, forcing the passenger plane to make an extreme small-angle turn. Inside the slightly tilted cabin, everyone was pinned to their seats by the sudden G-force.

No. 1 grasped the armrests of the sofa tightly with both hands. The powerful G-force pressed the loose skin on his cheek to one side, and his eyeballs quickly became filled with blood at the same time.

Charlotte’s wrists were broken and his hands were weak, so he could only use his arms and body to clamp the armrests on both sides of the sofa, and the skin on his face also appeared unnatural.

The agents who had just fastened the seat belt for No. 1 did not have time to return to their seats. They were directly pulled to the ground by the G-force of the extreme turn of the passenger plane. Their bodies slid to the other side and hit the airport wall heavily.

In the cockpit, warning sounds rang out wildly.

The captain, who was pinned to his seat by the powerful G-force, shouted, “Infrared decoy bomb!”

The co-pilot raised his arm with difficulty and pressed a red button on the ceiling, and infrared decoy bombs began to be released from the tail and behind both sides of the wings.

Puff puff puff puff——

A large number of infrared decoy bombs were sprayed out.

“Release the tinfoil decoy bombs!” the captain shouted!
The co-pilot pressed another red button.

At the same location, a large amount of tinfoil decoys were sprayed out to interfere with active guidance radar.

In the sky, at an altitude of 40 meters, infrared decoys and tinfoil decoys formed a huge fireworks show. Under the dual interference of infrared decoys and tinfoil decoys, the Stinger missile deviated from the target and flew meters below the fuselage.

The two pilots in the cockpit saw the Stinger missile flying under the fuselage at the same time and breathed a sigh of relief together.

The captain reset the joystick and the steering G force disappeared…

The Stinger missile in reality is not like in the movies, where it can make a sharp turn and fly back to continue attacking the target. After missing the target and losing the lock, it can only continue forward until it reaches the maximum flight distance and self-destructs and explodes.

The Stinger missile continued to fly forward for about 2000 meters and then exploded in mid-air after losing its target.

The two pilots, the mechanics, and everyone on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before they could celebrate their escape, the warning sound in the cockpit rang out again.

The second missile came suddenly.

The captain glanced at the radar screen and saw a small dot flying towards him at a very fast speed.

“Prepare double decoy bombs!” the captain shouted.

The co-pilot raised his arm and touched the red button with his finger.

The captain’s heart was in his throat. He stared at the radar screen and listened to the increasingly urgent warning tones.

“Let go!” the captain shouted.

The co-pilot simply pressed the double buttons.

Puff puff puff puff——

Infrared decoy bombs and tinfoil decoy bombs are sprayed at the same time.

At the same time, the captain pulled the nose of the plane up sharply.

Everyone on the plane felt fooled.

The fuselage of the passenger plane suddenly pulled upward.

The second Stinger missile also passed below the fuselage at a distance of 40-50 meters, and exploded in mid-air after flying forward for more than 2000 meters.

Maggie, who was under the bridge, threw the launch tube to the ground after launching the second Stinger and reached out to Roy for the third one.

Roy handed the stinger in his hand to Maggie.

Both missiles missed the target. Roy watched the whole process and it was completely necessary to prepare a few more missiles. After all, the passenger plane they were going to attack was not an ordinary civilian airliner.

Maggie continued to aim…

This Stinger is an early model with only infrared tracking capability and no radar guidance function.

After locking on, she pressed the fire button.

The third Stinger missile pops out of the launch tube…

In the distance, in the cockpit.

The captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Just as he was about to relax, he suddenly heard an urgent shout from the headset: “There’s a third one, be careful!”

This time, the passive fire control warning radar did not sound.

The information was transmitted by the ground tower of the air force base. They saw with their own eyes that the third missile with a trail of smoke was heading towards the passenger plane, and they immediately issued a warning.

“damn it!”

The captain’s nerves were tense again.

“Infrared decoy bombs ready!”

This time, he couldn’t observe the missile’s distance through passive radar.

Since the missile was coming from behind the plane, he could only make his judgment based on his experience and feeling.

“The decoy bombs are used up!” the co-pilot opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly.

“what?”

Before the captain could finish his words, the fuselage of the passenger plane suddenly shook violently, followed by various warning sounds.

Half a second ago, the third old-model Stinger without active radar guidance exploded behind the right wing engine.

The fragmentation warhead exploded, releasing a large amount of metal fragments.

Metal fragments hit the two engines and the tail on the right wing, and created countless holes in the tail and right wing.

In an instant, thick smoke rose up.

The two right side engines caught fire.

The violent shaking of the fuselage startled No. 1. He quickly looked out the window and saw that the two engines on the right wing were on fire.

At the same time, Charlotte’s eyes widened, and a premonition of death suddenly emerged in his mind. At this moment, he stood there in a daze, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

Inside the cockpit…

The alarm is blaring!
“Both right engines have failed!” the co-pilot shouted as he looked at the two engine thrust instruments on the instrument panel that were rapidly losing thrust.

At the same time, the co-pilot looked at the fire indicator light: “Both right engines are on fire!”

“Shut off the oil lines of engines 3 and 4 and put out the fire!” the captain shouted.

The co-pilot pressed the fuel cut-off switch and pulled the fire extinguisher levers of both engines at the same time.

A large amount of fire extinguishing agent sprayed out inside the engine.

The open flame is extinguished!

Looking at the indicator lights, the co-pilot yelled amidst the various warning sounds: “Fire is out!”

The failure of the two right engines would cause the two left engines to release more thrust than the right, causing the fuselage to turn to the right.

“Reduce the thrust of engines 1 and 2, and adjust the trim!” The captain gave the order while turning the trim, trying to use this method to reduce the right bank.

“Main hydraulic system failure!” the mechanic shouted.

“Damn it! Switch to backup hydraulics!”

“Horizontal tail failure!!”

The captain found that he could not control the pitch angle of the passenger plane.

“It’s too low!”

The passenger plane is now only 500 meters above the ground.

Both engines failed and the hydraulic system malfunctioned, causing the aircraft to begin an uncontrolled descent.

The staff in the ground tower looked at the A340 dragging a long smoke trail, sighed secretly, and exclaimed: “It’s over!”

In the cockpit, various error prompts make people feel confused.

The captain tried hard to regain control of the plane.

Inside the cabin, the plane was shaking constantly. The organization’s agents wanted to put a parachute on No. 1, but they were unable to do so due to the unstable shaking…

“Help! Help! Help!”
