Night, the best protective color.
Different from the S2 period, when technology was backward and fighter planes could only conduct combat during the day.
Once night falls, no one dares to take off in a plane, otherwise they may end up with a plane crash and people will die!
Dare not even to take off, let alone battle.
In the era when airborne radar had not yet been developed, aerial combat relied entirely on the pilots' eyesight.
Taking off at night means everything is pitch black. Even if it's not a plane, one can't tell up from down, left from right. So, what can they do?
And now, almost all of the main force fighters have the ability to fly and fight at night.
As the Sword Twenty, a cutting-edge technology of the Blue Planet, it is no exception.
Entirely two squadrons, with 96 Sword Twenty fighter planes, traveling at a cruising speed of 1.8 mach, took only a little over half an hour to cover a distance of over a thousand kilometers and arrived in an area less than 300 kilometers away from the target!
"Attention the 113rd formation, there is an adversary's Eagle Eye 2000 early warning plane in front of you, two hundred kilometers away. The coordinate information has been synchronized. Destroy it!"
Entering the target area, the voice from the command center quietly echoed through the communication channel of the 113th formation of the 1st Squadron of the Saint Dragon Regiment.
"113th formation, receive!"
The two pilots of the 113th formation responded to the command center's order in the first instance.
Following that, according to the coordinates marked by the command center, the two Sword Twenty fighter planes, maintaining radar silence, flew straight towards the location of the Eagle Eye 2000 early warning plane.
【Cleanup】 Operation is an assault operation.
The purpose is to destroy the anti-aircraft forces of the White and Black Eagles in the first instance.
Therefore, to ensure they are not discovered early, this operation is not only carried out at night but also involves maintaining radar silence.
Throughout the entire flight process, the Taixu satellite system in space guided the planes.
It is worth mentioning that the Sword Twenty is a stealth fighter plane, but its stealth capabilities only apply to the plane itself, not to radar signals.
Just like the sonar of a big black fish.
When performing tasks, active sonar is basically not turned on.
Unless it is in the final stage of action.
Once the active sonar is turned on, it means the presence has been exposed!
Radar is also the same. Once the radar is turned on, most modern fighter planes have radar warning systems. After detecting radar signals, the warning system will alert in the first instance!
Before the desert military expo, when the Black and White Eagles' F-16 and F/A-18E/F fighter jets were compared with Sword Ten G and Sword Eleven G, the former being locked on in a frenzied "lock on!!" mode, it was because of this reason.
With fighter planes having radar warning systems, let alone early warning aircraft.
The action of Black and White Eagle village's early warning aircraft is not a secret to the camels.
The Taixu satellite system has been continuously monitoring the airports of the White and Black Eagle alliance for almost 24 hours, 24/7. No matter how big the early warning aircraft is, even a small unmanned aerial vehicle takes off, it can't escape from Taixu's eyes…
"Formation 211, Formation 212, be advised: There's an enemy Eagle Eye 2000 early warning aircraft ahead of you at a distance of two hundred kilometers. And a Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is located one hundred thirty kilometers to the right front. The coordinates have been synchronized. Destroy them!"
"Formation 211, receive!"
"Formation 211, received!"
The second order was repeated.
With the command from the command center, the two dual-machine formations flew back towards the target area.
.........
At the same time, on the other side, several early warning planes and unmanned reconnaissance planes were quietly flying in the sky above.
On the early warning plane, the five crew members who had been rubbing their eyes for a while had been trying to stay awake by constantly chatting with each other.
At the same time, they took out stimulant drugs to stimulate themselves.
"I wonder how the command center came up with this idea. We are being put on patrol at this time, thickly padded crab!"
Seeing the continuously flashing radar display in front of him, a soldier in the uniform of the Black and White Eagle village couldn't help but voice a dissatisfied sound.
"Well, if it's just ground-based anti-aircraft radar, it would be fine. The seventh base even has a radar with a detection range of six hundred kilometers. Can't it detect the air power of camels? Now they are hiding in their homes sleeping soundly, and we have to suffer the cold wind up here, a bunch of pond scum!"
"Alright, enough of that. Just focus on your patrol duties. It's just a few hours, the command center is just worried that camels will steal an assault of judgment again, so it's normal for us to patrol…"
"Oh, Jason, I think your concerns are completely unnecessary. Those damned primitives have been completely blocked by us. Even that goddamn dragon village dares not speak up anymore. How could they still have extra Judges..."
"Well, we..."
Drip, drip, drip!
While the weary soldiers were venting their frustration in conversation, a sharp and urgent voice suddenly rang out!
Waiting for a few of the soldiers to think more——
"lock on!!"
"Lock on!!"
"..."
A series of piercing alarms were directly breaking everyone's thoughts!
Only then did the few people in the cabin finally come to their senses!
"Damn it! We've been locked on by radar!"
At that moment, all their weariness vanished instantly.
Their faces turned as pale as death.
They are early warning planes!
Under normal circumstances, they will never go to the front line. Even if they enter the combat area, they will only stay behind a few hundred kilometers or even more than two hundred kilometers from the front. Providing battle zone data to front-line fighter jets.
Even if the front-line battles are lost, they can leave the battlefield early.
Even if they are hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from the front line, they can run away. No one can stop them.
The probability of being locked is almost zero!
And now, they had been locked on!
In other words, there are fighter planes in the attack range already!
And they were already under the missiles of the fighter planes!
"Immediately launch chaff, return!"
"Contact the command center, we have spotted the camel's aircraft!"
"Radars have no signals of aircrafts. They are likely camels' stealth fighters!"
In the midst of the chaos, the leading crew commander finally managed to compose himself and spoke directly.
"Stealth fighter?"
The remaining crew members' faces turned pale at the mention of that name.
The name was one they could say had been deafening to them!
Just a few days ago, it was camel's stealth fighter planes that attacked their anti-aircraft base.
Then they directly destroyed their dozens of anti-aircraft radar!
Throughout the whole process, they didn't even have time to react!
No, more accurately, they only discovered the other side when the enemy fired the missile and opened the cockpit!
Then after the enemy fired the missile and closed the magazine, their radar just had the signals of those missiles that were launched, no trace of the enemy's aircraft was left!
"Captain, we..."
Thinking of these, one of the crew members couldn't help but open his mouth.
However, before he finished speaking, an urgent and piercing sound rang out in the cockpit again.
At the same time, a voice with a hint of cracking followed:
"Report! Radar detects multiple high-speed signal sources, speed 5 mach, distance 30 kilometers!"
Five mach?
Thirty kilometers?
Hearing these two numbers, everyone was shocked!
All their thoughts were dispelled in an instant at that moment!
"Quickly! Prepare for parachute deployment!!"
In no time, the lead commander, with pale face, shouted in a hoarse voice.
It's obvious with your toes what the target is with its 5 mach speed.
Missiles!!
They never expected that camel's planes have actually advanced to a distance of only 30 kilometers from them!
For a missile with a speed of five mach, a distance of 30 kilometers is just about the time for the missile to fly for more than ten seconds!
And they were piloting an early warning aircraft whose top speed is only over 600 kilometers per hour!
With such speed, even if you add two pairs of wings, it's impossible to outrun a five-mach missile!
As for the interference bombs mentioned by the flight commander a moment ago, it might be useful.
But it's only maybe!
In their previous clashes with camels, the planes they downed also released chaff, but still a large number of planes were shot down!
The speed is so fast, the maneuverability is so high, and the small size of the target makes it impossible to ensure 100% safety.
Let alone their large and clumsy aircraft with its slow speed!
Now, if they want to save their lives, their only option is to deploy parachutes!!
Following the commander's order, the crew members quickly pulled over their parachutes from the side and fastened them to their backs.
Splash!!!
The cockpit door directly opened!
Then, standing in front of the cockpit door, the soldiers jumped out of the door without hesitation.
At the same time, from the front cockpit, two ejection seats were directly ejected from the cockpit with the help of explosives.
The whole process was less than ten seconds!
In the face of life-or-death crisis, the crewmen of the whole group showed an amazing efficiency that amazed people!
Boom!!
After the crew members of the aircraft successfully ejected, two air-to-air missiles with a speed of five mach rapidly approached and directly hit the early warning aircraft still under automatic control.
With the impact, two deafening sounds were suddenly echoed in the sky!
At the same time, a huge flame burst into the sky!
The soldier who jumped out directly got hit by the fragments that were shot out.
Without time to open the parachute, he died in the sky!
The remaining crew members, looking at the fire plummeting rapidly from the sky, were all dry-mouthed.
Throat-scarcely swallowing!
Surviving from the near-death experience, everyone was sweating profusely.
The fear of war directly enveloped everyone's soul.
Just one more step, just one more chance.
If they were slower for just a few seconds……
No, even if they were just a second slower, they might have been buried with the early warning plane!
For example, the unlucky soldier who jumped last!
These two air-to-air missiles were not only terrifying in speed, but also far beyond their imagination in power.
…………
At the same time, on the other side, with several loud bangs, an Eagle 2000 early warning plane and a Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle were also directly turned into fireballs in the dark sky, falling from high altitudes!
Unlike the previous early warning plane, this one, which was breached to within 20 kilometers, the crew members didn't even have time to react.
Before the parachute was even properly attached, they were hit by two missiles.
Even the two pilots who could be ejected didn't manage to avoid the shockwave and fragments from the missile explosion……
Bang!!
The doors of the Black Eagle Joint Command Center on the ground burst open with a bang!!
"Report! The early warning formation sends word that our early warning aircraft and unmanned reconnaissance planes have been attacked by missiles. Currently, all of our early warning aircraft and reconnaissance planes have been destroyed!"
An urgent and hurried voice rang out directly in the ear of Steve, who had just been forcibly awakened and whose spirits had not fully recovered.
Upon hearing his subordinates' voice, Steve was stunned.
He suddenly snapped back to his senses, his face turning pale, and all his weariness instantly vanished: "What did you say?"
Without time to think further, Steve grabbed the collar of his subordinate in front of him.
"Sir, the early warning team just reported that our early warning aircraft..."
Grabbed by Steve, the black-and-white eagle commander, who came to report, dared not think further and quickly spoke up, repeating the intelligence just reported again.
Upon hearing this, Steve's face turned extremely ugly.
However, he immediately snapped back to his senses:
"Transmit my order! Falcon First Brigade immediately takes off!"
"All radar signal jamming devices must be activated immediately! All anti-aircraft combat personnel, immediately take up battle stations!"
"All..."
One after another orders were issued from Steve's mouth!
Despite the limited data.
Steve also judged the source of this attack in the first time.
Only the stealth fighters of the camel could destroy the early warning aircraft without resistance, there is no other possibility!
Even if attacked by long-range anti-aircraft missiles, at least there is time for the missile flight, which is enough for the early warning aircraft to make a response or even fly out of the missile strike range!
But their early warning aircraft didn't even have the chance to respond or fly out of the missile strike range.
The information was already clear!
Woo!!
Woo!!
Woo!!
The piercing sound of the air defense siren erupted in the darkness.
One by one, the bases that had already fallen silent, the lights began to turn on.
A flood of soldiers surged out of the tents.
One radar after another was turned on, despite the fact that everyone knew that turning on the radar was almost equivalent to telling the enemy their position for anti-radiation missiles.
But knowing doesn't change anything.
Can't they turn on their radars?
Without turning on the radars, how can they carry out air defense?
They can rely on eyes during the day, but at night even eyes can't see!
"Do you detect enemy aircraft signals?"
"Any enemy aircraft signals?"
"Where is the enemy aircraft?"
"……"
One by one, commanders from various bases spoke out.
On the display screens of one radar after another at the air defense bases, radar scan circles kept flashing.
"Report! No enemy aircraft signals detected!"
"Report! The radar cannot detect enemy aircraft signals!"
"Report..."
With one question after another, one answer after another appeared in succession.
All responses were without exception, all were without signals!
The radar cannot detect!
"Damn!!"
Hearing the messages from various air defense bases, Steve's face turned ashen.
Stealth fighter!!
They had previously devastated the camel using stealth fighters.
Even as far back as twenty years ago, they had effortlessly destroyed the air defense system of Dumbwood with stealth bombers, enjoying the benefits of stealth fighters.
And now, they have become the target of stealth fighters!
"That damn Long Village! F*** you!!"
At this moment, Steve was raging with anger.
The hatred for Long Village has reached an extreme level!
Drip-drop!!
At this moment, a piercing alarm suddenly rang out.
"Report! Radar detects a large number of high-speed signal sources!"
Just as the alarm sounded, one after another urgent voices, immediately followed.
