"Report! This is Hawk Eye 100. The Falcon drone is still circling three hundred kilometers away! No abnormalities detected. There are still one hundred and eighty Judicator drones within the detection range! Over!"
"Report! This is Hawk Eye 101. In my detection range, the Falcon drone has no abnormalities. There are still 291 Judicator drones within the detection range! Over!"
"Report..."
With Ronald's command, a squadron of E-3 Sentry early warning aircraft took turns reporting the information they had acquired.
It did not take long before the early warning aircraft's intelligence was summed up.
"Sir, the count is in. The total number of Judicator drones is 2,000. So far, we have destroyed 576 of them. The remaining number is 1,424!"
The statistics were summarized, and a commander of the combined fleet spoke up immediately.
Hearing this, the officer being questioned picked up the communication device next to him and contacted Bad Camel and Li Camel.
Code KJ1000E is actually the original KJ1000 early warning aircraft used by Long Village.
Now, only five squadrons are carrying out the task of intercepting Judicator drones, with a total of 120 plastic and super insects!
In this situation, being able to intercept 576 Judicators is already a remarkable achievement!
"Now scatter out, even if the super insects and plastic insects still have their machine guns, whether it's their machine gun ammunition or their fighter jets' fuel, it won't sustain their continuous attacks against our falcons!"
Eighty-seven nautical miles, or 161 kilometers!
In twenty-plus minutes, or at most half an hour, the fighter jets would not have enough time to return and refuel.
After a long while, Modalarhan slightly shook his head, then turned his gaze to another officer beside him and spoke directly.
Moreover, the Falcon drones do not need early warning aircraft to command; they can be remotely controlled and commanded by the satellites of Xinghe Technology!
Hearing this figure, Modalarhan fell into deep thought.
The request for the plastic insects and super insects to return was immediately rejected.
After hearing the report from the officer, Ronald furrowed his brow.
As long as the combined fleet suffers heavy losses, will the fleet of Black and White Falcon Village dare to approach them in the future?
The entire fleet once again got into action.
On the other side, at the Shacamel command center, upon seeing the signals relayed by the early warning aircraft, a camel officer spoke up in a deep voice.
All of their fighter jets have taken off, 192 super insects and plastic insects, fully loaded and taking off. At an average of ten air-to-air missiles carried per jet, these 192 plastic insects and super insects are carrying a total of 1,920 air-to-air missiles!
"315, 406 squadrons, in conjunction with 407 squadron, immediately intercept the Judicators! Use cannon fire if necessary to interpose them, and under no circumstances should we let these Judicators slip through!"
And their falcons are equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles with a range exceeding 250 kilometers!
They could launch an attack on the combined fleet from as far away as 250 kilometers!
It can be said that everything about the combined fleet is clearly visible to Shacamel!
The plastic insects and super insects fighter jets are also being monitored in real-time by the KJ1000E.
In addition to this, there are the status reports from the Falcon drones...
Hearing this, Modalarhan's eyes flickered.
But just a moment later, they remembered the message from their pilots earlier.
Then, without hesitation, a group of people carried out the orders according to Modalarhan's instructions.
"According to the feedback from the Heaven's Eye satellite monitoring of Xinghe Technology, the combined fleet is still retreating at maximum speed, and it is expected that they will be out of the attack range of the Judicator drones of Shabactara and Liactara in about two hours..."
The role of the early warning aircraft is merely to monitor and feedback the battlefield dynamics in real-time, then convey the specific battlefield information to the rear command center, where they can judge the on-site situation. That's all...
When facing the large targets like the falcon that move like a tortoise, the machine guns will be enough, and there's no need for missiles!
On the screen, there were interface displays of radar feedback and the monitoring image of Xinghe Technology's Heaven's Eye satellite.
In just a few seconds, Ronald reached a conclusion!
Now, the combined fleet is being monitored in real-time by Xinghe Technology's satellites.
Or a live target!
Eight thousand meters in altitude is the best attack zone for both the plastic insects and the super insects.
Hearing this, the officer who just reported directly spoke up:
On average, it takes two to three air-to-air missiles to hit one Judicator!
In other words, with their 1,920 air-to-air missiles, even at a two-for-one exchange rate, they can only eliminate more than 800 Judicators!
In fact, because of the interference from the falcon, they can't send all their forces to deal with the Judicators.
That's right, how far is the range of the machine guns?
Even with fire control radar assistance, the effective range is at most a few kilometers!
"They have limited remaining aircraft missiles, even if they use all of them against our falcon, it won't do much damage to a few of ours. Don't forget, we have a total of 1,420 falcons!"
How can all these missiles only destroy 576 Judicators?
Not only this commander, but almost all of the combined fleet commanders looked rather unpleasant.
Without the support of the fleet, will there still be a place for the Desert Eagles to rest?
Thinking about these, the camel officers became even more excited.
However, with the technology provided by Su Heng, which has been converted from the two-tailed drones, and now viewing the KJ1000 as unimpressive, Dragon Village naturally no longer sees value in it. Under a semi-sell and semi-support premise, all of Dragon Village's eight active KJ1000s were handed over to Shacamel and Yacamel!
Now, Shacamel has four KJ1000Es in hand.
A moment later, Modalarhan asked again, "What's the situation with the combined fleet now?"
Hearing the voice of this commander, Ronald hadn't spoken yet when another commander of the combined fleet couldn't help but change his expression unconsciously and spoke up.
And the falcons, with their top speed of no more than 450 kilometers per hour, are more like a tortoise to the super insects and plastic insects.
Both the super insects and plastic insects, with their afterburners open, can fly supersonic!
Even without the afterburners, they can travel at subsonic speeds of up to 800 or even 900 kilometers per hour!
At such speeds, they can easily catch up to the falcons!
"Currently, our Judicators have completed bombing all of Squid's key targets, including the new Squid command center. All targets have been completely destroyed!"
At this moment, the voice of Commander Ronald from the combined fleet abruptly echoed.
"How far are those Judicators from us now?"
"Why are there still so many?"
Hearing this, the camel commanders present all had their eyes flicker slightly.
The KJ1000E possesses all-round early warning capabilities, a loitering time exceeding 12 hours, a practical altitude limit of 12,000 meters, a range of 6,000 kilometers, and a detection range of 600 kilometers, with an upper-altitude detection range of 1,200 kilometers!
These early warning aircraft, like the previous Y85 anti-ship missiles, are all good things that Modalarhan has acquired from Long Village during this period.
One hundred nautical miles is only 185 kilometers!
"Order! All fleet's anti-aircraft defense systems are on standby, and all Judicators must be intercepted beyond the defense zone!"
And the performance of the twin-tail early warning aircraft is superior to that of the KJ1000!
In this situation, the plan to modify the KJ1000 was directly put aside and abandoned.
Hearing this, an officer beside him responded directly:
Moreover, with the falcons and these anti-ship missiles working together, the Judicator drones can attack the combined fleet more smoothly!
After that, the faces of the group showed excitement!
With Ronald's command.
In his mind, the same suspicion also arose.
However, although they understand these, the thought of there still being over 1,400 Judicators makes the faces of all the combined fleet commanders look extremely unpleasing.
"The combined fleet's fighter jets and missiles are now running low. It will take at least several hours for them to return and replenish their ammunition. This is our opportunity!"
By then, even if some of their falcons are shot down by the super insects and plastic insects, it would still be a sure win!
The range of the Judicator is only 800 kilometers. If they take off from here, it's not enough to reach the combined fleet, which is still hundreds of kilometers away...
At the same time as the changeover of the super insects and plastic insects' missions, the combined fleet's anti-aircraft defense systems had also been fully activated.
So, as soon as the aircraft of the combined fleet moved, the Shacamel side received accurate intelligence in the first place!
With this camel commander, Modalarhan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Not long after, the Shacamel officer received confirmed information and said directly:
"According to the feedback from Shabactara and Liactara, they still have 1,420 Judicators!"
This time, all the Judicators attacking the combined fleet are launched by Shabactara and Liactara.
In the original Long Village, the KJ1000 was a precious gem in Long Village's hands.
Compared to the small targets like the Judicators that almost fly at sea level, the falcon is an unquestionable giant!
As long as their falcons separate, without air-to-air missiles, even if these plastic insects and super insects can't run their engines on fire, they won't be able to completely shoot down the falcons!
They don't have much time left!
"According to the data provided by the eagle eye, the closest Judicator is only 87 nautical miles away from us, and the farthest Judicator is only 100 nautical miles away from us!"
Hearing this, the officer beside him was stunned and then spoke directly:
"Prince, we only have four early warning aircraft. If we do this, our early warning aircraft will not be able to provide real-time intelligence support. If the super insects and plastic insects get too close, the falcons will have no self-defense capabilities..."
......
Although the Air Force had wanted to modify the KJ1000, after conducting research, it was found that the cost of modifying the KJ1000 was higher than that of producing a twin-tailed early warning aircraft.
"How many of Shabactara's Judicators are left?"
However, although the systems are incompatible, the detection capabilities of KJ1000E still exist.
Thinking about this, Ronald spoke directly:
"Order! All super insects and plastic insects that have exhausted their air-to-air missiles, immediately join up with the eagle eye to take over the monitoring of the falcons from squadrons 315 and 406. If you find the falcons getting too close, shoot them down with your machine guns!"
After obtaining these early warning aircraft, both Shacamel and Yacamel treat them as precious gems!
The only defect is that the radar and command system of these early warning aircraft are incompatible with the systems of drones like the falcons, and cannot remotely control drones like the falcons, because KJ1000 is a Long Village's own research early warning aircraft. Before Su Heng helped, KJ1000 was already available.
1,400?
Above the hundreds of warships, a dense array of anti-aircraft systems and Harpoon anti-aircraft systems were aimed directly at the direction of the Judicator group, waiting for the appearance of the Judicators!
And their fleet, with maximum speed of only 35 knots, rounded down to 65 kilometers per hour!
In half an hour, their fleet can only travel a distance of over thirty kilometers!
Even if you add this thirty-odd kilometers, the Judicators can at most only increase a few minutes of their flight time!
According to the information they had, the maximum range of the Judicators was as high as 1,300 kilometers!
Within the effective range, these Judicators could easily catch up to them!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ronald continued:
Without waiting for the others to respond, Ronald continued: "A single tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves. By then, the combined fleet's anti-aircraft defenses will be stretched thin at both ends. This time, even if they can't annihilate the combined fleet, they will at least cause heavy losses!"
"Self-defense?" Hearing what his subordinate said, Modalarhan slightly shook his head and then said: "We no longer need to defend ourselves now!"
"How is the situation on the squid's side?"
The average speed of the Judicators is 350 kilometers per hour.
"Prince, those black and white eagle's plastic insects and super insects seem to have retreated..."
After a brief pause, Modalarhan spoke directly: "Order! Disperse the falcons. Take the combined fleet as the center of a circle, and move closer to the combined fleet from all four sides!"
Countless thoughts kept flashing through Ronald's mind.
"Combined Fleet?"
Missile-exhausted plastic insects and super insects took over the task of monitoring the falcons from the previous missions.
After hearing what his subordinate said, Modalarhan slightly nodded and then redirected his gaze to the screen in front of him.
Everything seemed complicated, but the total time spent thinking it through was only a few seconds!
"It's too late!"
Until now...
After everyone passed down the order, Modalarhan spoke again:
In other words, it would only take twenty-seven minutes for the closest Judicators to reach their combined fleet!
Even the farthest Judicators only need thirty-one minutes to reach them!
If a single anti-ship missile hits, with the power of these blue explosives loaded anti-ship missiles, one can sink a warship of the combined fleet!
According to their pilots, the flying altitude of these Judicators is too low, and there is too much sea clutter, which greatly affects the accuracy of their air-to-air missiles.
Hearing this, the people present looked at each other and nodded unanimously: "Yes! Sir! !"
"If they've come, then let's enjoy the welcoming ceremony of our camels!"
Looking at the screen in front of him, a trace of cold light flickered in Modalarhan's eyes.
