In the command hall of the British Security Special Guidance Headquarters.
A person wearing a brown military uniform or a white shirt was tapping the dashboard in front of him seriously, and loudly reported the known situation from time to time.
The atmosphere at the scene was very tense, serious and depressing.
Behind them in the audience.
The senior generals headed by Perwood sat around a large round table, paying attention to the satellite map on the big screen.
"The Atlantic Fleet has sailed out of the Firth of Clyde and is expected to arrive in Belfast waters in three hours!"
General Perwood and others did not respond to this.
Northern Ireland and Scotland are separated by the North Sea Channel.
The narrowest point is only 21 kilometers wide, and the widest point is less than 200 kilometers in diameter.
After conversion, it's not even a hundred nautical miles.
For the British Royal Atlantic Fleet, which is stationed at Faslan Port in Scotland and has a cruising speed of 18 knots, it only takes ten hours at most to reach the Northern Ireland coastline.
Of course, such a close distance also has great advantages for the mysterious enemy forces occupying Belfast.
Therefore, General Perwood and others were wary that the other party would intercept their own fleet at sea.
Fortunately, the Atlantic Fleet is quite powerful.
With an Invincible-class light aircraft carrier "Excellence" as the core, it is equipped with six destroyers, 13 frigates, and four attack nuclear submarines.
The number of carrier-based aircraft on the Excellent is even more full.
Nine Sea Harrier FA2 fighter jets, six Harrier GR9A fighter jets, six Sea King HAS6 anti-submarine helicopters, and three Sea King AEW.2 early warning helicopters.
I believe that no matter what kind of opponent I encounter, I can compete with them.
The only thing you need to worry about is that the other party is suspected to be an alien from another planet.
It may have some technologies and weapons that are beyond this era.
at the same time.
Just as the Uchiha Iron Fire Team was fighting against the vampires led by Thorin.
The rough waters of the North Sea bay.
An aircraft carrier battle group consisting of twenty-one modern warships and four underwater submarines.
They are maintaining a multi-level circular formation, riding the wind and waves in a mighty manner, covered with stars and the moon.
They had left the Isle of Arran lighthouse behind.
Entering the widest area of the North Sea Strait is also the most likely location to be attacked.
Therefore, General Gilad, who served as the commander of the fleet, dispatched all three "Sea King" early warning helicopters and six anti-submarine helicopters.
At the same time, two Sea Harrier FA2 fighter jets were ordered to take off and take the lead in carrying out reconnaissance missions in Belfast.
This seems to General Gillard to be well prepared.
At least there won't be a sudden attack.
However.
"General!"
"The radar shows that the signal of Harrier 06 disappeared, the distance is 40!"
"What?!"
General Gilad's expression changed drastically as he was drinking coffee.
But the next second, the radar soldier reported again, his voice even more surprised: "Report, the Harrier 07 signal has disappeared!"
This means that the two fighter jets they sent out are in danger.
"Immediately order all aircraft to take off immediately!"
"The entire ship is prepared for air defense!"
General Gilad quickly put down the coffee cup that had just been brewed and had not yet taken two sips, and immediately issued a combat order.
Soon, the alarm sounded.
A Harrier FA2 fighter jet and a Harrier GR9A fighter jet entered the runway in order and began to take off.
"Haven't you found the other party's signal yet?"
General Gillard, who was watching this scene through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Tower Bridge, turned back and asked with a serious expression.
"Report, neither the Type 1022 air radar nor the Type 996 air/sea radar captured the radiation source of the opponent's fighter plane!"
The radar soldier sitting in front of the radar plate frowned and answered.
"Where are the early warning helicopters?"
"Where's Skynet?"
General Gilad kept asking questions and his attitude was very forceful.
Two of our own fighters were killed, but we didn't even know where they were or how many they had.
"The early warning helicopter stated that no abnormality was observed."
"The Skynet satellite system is still looking for targets."
General Gilad's heart became heavier after hearing these.
"Is the invisibility ability so strong?"
"Report!"
"'Harrier 9'04 signal disappeared!"
Before the radar soldier could say anything, the communications soldier shouted: "Report!"
"Sea Harrier 04 and Sea Harrier 08 said they saw the enemy destroying the Harrier 9'04. It was a blue-painted fighter that looked very much like an American F15 fighter jet!"
"The 'Blue Fox' radar on their aircraft showed that the other party was flying at more than three times the speed of sound!"
"What?!"
General Gillard was completely dumbfounded.
Three times the speed of sound?
Their ‘Sea Harrier’ and ‘Harrier 9’ haven’t even reached the speed of sound!
Moreover, the best fighter jets in the world right now, namely the French ‘Rafale’ and the American ‘F15’, have a maximum flying speed of Mach 2.25.
"It looks a lot like F15, could it be F22?"
"No, isn't it still in the research and development stage?"
"And even the F22 can't reach Mach 3, right?"
The more General Gilad thought about it, the more puzzling it became. It would be great if there was a clear picture.
"Report!"
"Skynet captured enemy fighter planes!"
General Gilad's eyes lit up and he immediately ran behind the communications soldier and looked at the screen connected to the 'satellite system'.
"Is it really F22?!" His eyes suddenly widened.
As a British admiral, he was previously invited to participate in the F22 first flight ceremony in 1998.
So I still have an impression of what it looks like.
Although the star-blue fighter in the picture is different from the one in memory in some places, the overall structure is still that of the F22.
So he very much doubted that this was the finalized F22!
"Could it be that the Americans are up to something?"
General Gilad speculated with the greatest malice.
"Send the picture back to the command center immediately!"
"yes!"
Just what to do next?
General Gilad was at a loss when he heard reports that his own fighter jets' signals had disappeared again and again.
How to deal with a super-era fighter jet that travels three times the speed of sound!
at the same time.
Forty kilometers away from the British Royal Atlantic Fleet, in the 10,000-meter night sky.
The pilots of the few remaining Sea Harrier FA2 fighter jets and Harrier GR9A fighter jets have fallen into panic.
Because their airborne radar can only capture the radiation source when the opponent is attacking, and briefly display the opponent's position and speed.
This process lasts for a few seconds at most, and then disappears without a trace again.
It's like a ghost lurking in the dark clouds!
The problem is that every time the opponent launches an attack, it will destroy one of its own fighter planes.
As a result, they don't know whether they want the other party to appear or not.
And even if they appear, they can capture the location and pursue them even if they rely on their numerical advantage.
The difference in flight speed is too big!
How can a group of fighter jets that are not worthy of the word ‘Mach’ catch up with a ‘Mach Three’ fighter jet?
The problem now has become that they can't run away even if they want to.
Even if the opponent only has two!
Some pilots looked desperate.
They could already imagine that their seemingly huge aircraft carrier fleet was about to be destroyed by these two fighter jets.
"Oh God, it appears again, and the target is still me!"
The pilot of Sea Harrier 09 was horrified when he saw the signal source that suddenly lit up on the radar dish.
really.
Behind it, a "Lightning" fighter of the Astra Militarum launched an air-to-air missile prototype called "AIM-60".
As the missile approached the terminal tail flame of the Sea Harrier 09, three smaller missile warheads suddenly separated.
One is an electromagnetic pulse bomb, destroying all the former's avionics systems.
A cluster bomb exploded countless micro-bombs, blocking most of the evasive and evasive directions.
The last one is a serious high-explosive bomb, the real killing move.
It can be said that this Sea Harrier 09, like the previous ones of its kind, was cut off from all vitality from the moment it was targeted.
【boom!!!】
A huge fire ball exploded in the starry night sky.
The ‘F22 modification’ that integrates the top technologies of the ‘nuclear weapons world’.
Like a bolt of blue lightning, it quickly passed by the raging fire.
