The blockade lost its anti-aircraft firepower, and anti-ship missiles broke through one after another, piercing into the 8,000-ton destroyer.
Many crew members trying to escape by jumping into the sea hadn't even reached the edge of the ship when they saw white anti-ship missiles crashing in. The next second, the massive TNT explosions tore their bodies apart and hurled them into the sky.
Amidst the continuous explosions, metal twisted, leaving hideous, frightening holes on the hull of the Paknan Destroyer, which completely sank into the sea in just 5 minutes and 18 seconds, leaving only a whirlpool on the surface.
Out of 457 sailors from the Country A Navy, only 22 survived.
The sinking of the Paknan Destroyer served as a signal; this strongest destroyer endured the most anti-ship missile attacks and served as the strongest anti-aircraft shield in this sea area.
Its sinking at this moment left a huge gap in the firepower network of the India carrier battle group.
