Looking at the fragments of the fighter plane floating on the sea, the captain of the Skyhawk Squadron said in a deep voice.
He looked up at the empty sky around him: "It seems that all the enemies have evacuated after the battle. Damn it, what happened to the Sea Wolf gang? How come they were all shot down in an instant? Even
The captains all..."
The No. 2 aircraft of the Skyhawk Squadron was flying past a rising signal flare. At the same time, the pilot said on the channel: "Perhaps the only survivor of their squadron can explain the situation to us."
The signal flare that soared into the sky came from a pilot floating on the sea. At this time, he was floating on the sea with the help of a life jacket, and the umbrella cover that he had untied was beside him, drifting with the current like a giant jellyfish.
When the Seawolf Squadron was attacked, although he was hit immediately, he was lucky enough to complete his parachute jump. Moments after he got out of the fighter plane, he saw his fighter plane turned into pieces by several missiles.
He looked like a torch, and then he saw that all the remaining fighter planes in his squadron were shot down, and there was no other canopy in the sky.
He just landed on the sea. Fortunately, the enemy plane did not intend to kill them all. After completing the attack, they immediately left the airspace. He also used the time while falling on the sea to see clearly the attacker's position.
true colors.
They were several pure white aircraft that looked very similar to the drone they shot down before.
This is definitely a drone too.
However, it is a combat drone that does not have any external mounts, is very smooth, and has excellent stealth performance.
The pilot immediately understood that perhaps it was because of his stealth ability that they were caught off guard and attacked.
These drones may have skimmed the sea, and then launched a sudden attack at the moment when the Seawolf Squadron was slightly relaxed after shooting down the large drone. Its radar stealth, high maneuverability and the ability to ignore the number of missiles
The "saturation" attack method gave the Seawolf Squadron a head-on attack. Under the continuous missile fire, all four Super Hornets were shot down without even being able to fight back.
The pilot had no time to grieve for his fallen teammate. He knew that the most important thing at this time was to remember the opponent's characteristics.
So while hanging under the umbrella canopy, he observed the combat drones and their postures.
These drones are smaller, probably less than half the size of their predecessor, the Super Hornet.
Their flying postures are really weird. Those postures are not something that humans can fly at all. The pilot even saw the crazy maneuverability of a certain drone that instantly turned around and formed a formation with other drones.
Using the drones to reorganize the formation, he made an emergency confirmation and found that there were at least ten drones attacking the Sea Wolf.
The densely packed shadows of aircraft made the pilot a little frightened.
No wonder he was able to completely wipe out his own powerful squadron in a short period of time. There was no way around it, they were simply overwhelmed by their numbers.
Subsequently, these drones re-formed and lowered their altitude to less than fifty meters from the sea. They displayed their exquisite flight capabilities. The low-altitude flying drones drew a dazzling white torrent on the sea, gradually getting farther and farther away.
go.
The pilot fantasized about skimming the sea at such a low altitude and couldn't help but shudder.
Then he fell into the sea, and the life jacket of the pilot's self-rescue equipment automatically inflated, allowing him to float.
While turning on his positioning signal, he took a lot of trouble to open the umbrella cover and waited for rescue to arrive.
Fortunately, he was not kept waiting too long, and soon he saw the arrival of the Skyhawk Squadron.
So a distress signal flare was launched urgently.
After another half an hour, the rescue helicopter arrived and specialized rescuers fished him out of the sea.
He then underwent a physical examination on the return helicopter. Fortunately, he was very lucky and did not suffer any more serious injuries except muscle strain - perhaps the psychological injury was more serious than the physical injury.
As a pilot, being shot down from the sky by a group of drones without the ability to resist will indeed leave a shadow.
Even if he was not injured, he would not be able to continue flying within a short period of time after returning to the base.
As a result, the Seawolf Squadron will be directly removed from the Imperial Air Force.
Wang Yu's independent Fourth Flying Group became the first unit to lose troops and generals at the Dome Base.
After the helicopter that rescued the pilot returned, the Skyhawk Squadron continued to hover in the airspace and remain vigilant.
They need to wait for the Imperial investigation team.
This is a team composed of helicopters, seabed exploration submarines and surface fleets. They will stay here for a while, try to search for and rescue survivors who basically have no hope of survival, salvage downed fighter planes and investigate their flight records.
instrument, search for the downed drone and analyze its data.
But these all take time.
The superiors obviously couldn't wait that long, they wanted to know immediately what exactly had attacked the imperial army.
Therefore, after the search and rescue helicopter returned to the dome base, Wang Yu, as the captain, came to the ward of the only surviving Seawolf pilot. As the captain, it was his responsibility to investigate these situations and summarize and report them.
He held a tablet computer for recording and nodded to the pilot: "Tell me what happened."
…………
"This must be a conspiracy of the Aisians!"
In the conference room, an imperial officer raised his arms and shouted.
"Yes, we all know that this is a conspiracy of the Aisiya people, but we currently have no evidence." Another officer rubbed his eyebrows: "We can't attack Aisiya just based on speculation. We must need more direct evidence.
OK."
As soon as he said this, the officers present frowned.
This is indeed a difficult problem.
According to the observation of the surviving pilot, there was no identification on these attacking aircraft, and it was impossible to determine the organization to which they belonged. Even if everyone knew it well, the only ones who could attack the imperial army at this time might be the radical group of Asia.
Molecule, but until there is no definite evidence, this kind of speculation can only be a guess.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "We have applied to mobilize military satellites for reconnaissance."
An Air Force officer with the rank of general said: "According to the information, those drones are not large in size and are very flexible, so their empty weight should not be too high, minus the missiles they carry, so
Their fuel consumption must be very low, which means their range must not be very far.
"So the 'mothership' that launches these drones must be not far away. We can mobilize high-precision military satellites to find them. This may be able to confirm their identities - even if it cannot be confirmed, it can also give our military a
Target."
"They all hit us on the head. It really doesn't make sense not to fight back."
Another general agreed.
After another brief communication, the scene fell into silence for a moment.
The decision-makers in these military forces are thinking in their hearts about the current situation and the response plans they need to make if the situation changes in the future.
"Everyone, what's more important now is, these drones Asia... no, how many hostile organizations are there?"
An officer was obviously not thinking about the response, but some more important situations, so he suddenly broke the silence of thinking: "According to the report submitted by the captain of the 4th Battalion, our squadron encountered the enemy attack in a very short time.
All of them were shot down within a short period of time. Our squadron is not weak. Although there are special factors such as being attacked, this does not deny the powerful combat capabilities of these enemy drones. If there are many of them
,So……"
He paused for a moment and took a deep breath: "When these drones attack Stonehenge, can our dome base troops effectively stop them?"
It seems that what he said makes sense, and the safety of Stonehenge is indeed a more important matter.
Everyone was speechless for a moment. After his words fell, the scene continued to fall into silence.
After a long time, the man with the highest military rank present finally knocked on the table.
"...Anyway, we need intelligence. At the same time, Stonehenge needs more firepower."
He looked like Johnny Silverhand when he said it...I mean John Wick was saying "Need More Fire Power" through gritted teeth...
Another officer of the same rank asked: "What are you going to do?"
The lieutenant general said seriously: "First of all, more flying squadrons, at least the fourth group needs to be supplemented. Then... if the reconnaissance goes well, determine the number of enemy drones, and conduct a tentative attack, judge
Regarding the enemy's true combat power, if these drones are beyond our current response range, I will submit a report to the royal family and parliament and apply for the use of 'Ark' to assist us in covering Stonehenge."
"Ark?!" The questioner was obviously shocked by these words: "That's us..."
"The survival of civilization on this planet is closely related to Stonehenge. Even if the existence of the Ark is crucial to us, it will be in vain if the meteorite hits it." The lieutenant general clenched his fists: "Civilization without people is meaningless.
.”
Other officers were silent: "..."
At the same time, you are complaining in your heart. Don’t think that we can’t understand the movie lines you say.
In short, during the meeting of dome officers, the main tone of the upcoming battle was determined-the empire will immediately launch a large-scale search operation, aerial search and satellites to identify enemy equipment that can launch and recover drones.
.
According to the analysis of the Empire's military intelligence department, to be able to release so many drones at once and launch an attack on the vast sea near Stonehenge, there must be a mothership, so what the Empire is looking for is something suspicious.
vessel.
As for air launch, the empire has naturally considered this possibility.
For example, whether the other party has built a large aerial weapon to carry drones, such as an ordnance giant bird or something...
But upon closer inspection, an aerial weapon capable of launching a large number of drones must not be small in scale.
There are only a handful of countries in the world that can build such a large-scale thing.
And for the few countries that can afford it, even if they do, they can't hide it from the eyes of the rest of the world.
Just like the Imperial "Ark" mentioned by the Lieutenant General, the Empire tried its best to keep it secret during the construction of this thing, but its existence is still known to all countries in the world.
The only thing that can be kept secret about this big toy is its specific information, and its existence itself is difficult to keep secret.
So we first searched based on whether these drones were launched from ships.
Military reconnaissance satellites passing outside the atmosphere also adjusted their accuracy and began to identify suspicious objects on the sea.
At the same time, all the available flying teams in the base were dispatched, and with the place where the Sea Wolf Squadron was killed as the center and a certain radius as the search range, they began to search for possible enemy units on the vast sea.
Polaris had just conducted a simulated battle today, so they were not asked to take off to complete the search mission. They had to watch other pilots from the dome base taking off one after another.
"As expected, the Aisians took action. They shot down a full squadron of ours, plus the reconnaissance planes that were driven away by us some time ago..." Murong Lan commented: "Their desire for Stonehenge has already been
No more hiding it."
"People from Asia."
Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh: "I can understand their motives. It's not pleasant to step back from a world-class superpower. Those radicals probably also want to seize Stonehenge and use this super weapon to rebuild Ai after the meteorite crisis."
The glory of West Asia, so what happened today is not surprising."
"But by then their credibility will also fall to the bottom." Luo Yu shook his head: "This deal is not fair... Forget it, let's not talk about the Aisians, the drones encountered by the Sea Wolf Squadron today
, do you think it will be a threat?"
"From the words of the surviving Seawolf team member, I have almost restored the process." Wang Yu thought briefly: "The drone is invisible to radar and has strong maneuverability. It relies on low-altitude penetration and sneak attacks and then suppresses it with numbers.
Only then did we shoot down all the Sea Wolf members in a short period of time - to be honest, we can’t see the specific strength of the drone at the moment.”
"What's the meaning?"
"What we can do now is to rely on results. If we are a raiding 'drone', the Sea Wolf Squadron will still be unable to fight back and will be killed in a short time; if we are a 'Sea Wolf Squadron',
That will definitely be better than what they did."
Wang Yu explained: "In the final analysis, from that person's description, we don't know the true combat capabilities of these drones, so it's hard to say what the result will be when our team specifically confronts them.
.”
"Don't you even have confidence?"
"It's not that I don't have confidence, I just don't want to underestimate my opponent too much." Wang Yu shook his head: "Asia obviously wants to use drones to carry out a new type of war mode, so we can't say the final victory until we face each other head-on.
burden."
Luo Yu nodded: "Then it seems we can only wait for the results of the search?"
