Chapter 95 utterly vulnerable!
The actions of the Desert Nations were extremely swift, and they caught General Stanford by surprise.
He had originally thought that these countries had been scared off!
Only now did he realize that was not the case at all!
On the contrary, they were coming with great momentum!
This infuriated General Stanford, who was just preparing to launch a second airstrike, and he vowed to ensure that these fighter jets would never return!
Their reaction was also quite swift!
Soon, a fighter formation of equal size took off from the ground.
They flew towards the approaching coalition formation.
These fighter jets were all F-16 fighter jets!
They formed formations of twenty-four, and a total of three formations were dispatched!
Because the models were the same, their performance was basically consistent!
This allowed for better command, as there was no need to confirm whether the aircraft could complete the assigned task before issuing orders, saving the commander a significant amount of time spent thinking!
"General, do we not need to deploy our newly purchased F-35 fighter jets?"
"I guarantee that if we deploy these fighter jets, we will definitely be able to annihilate the enemy very quickly!"
A general from the Air Force under Stanford's command said.
After the previous airstrikes, the F-35 had fully demonstrated the power of this model!
This made many high-ranking officials in the Daishin Air Force love this fighter jet.
It even sparked a trend of thought regarding "Air Force Decisive Victory Theory"!
Commander Liu Chengzhi had also had similar thoughts!
That was after seeing the mechs manufactured by Su Chen; Commander Liu Chengzhi had stayed up all night writing an article about "Mech Decisive Victory Theory"!
Both sides had been shocked by powerful and advanced technology, which was why they had such ideas!
However, General Stanford did not agree with his subordinate's suggestion:
"A mere seventy-plus pieces of junk, and they deserve for us to deploy Fifth-generation fighter jets?"
"They must be kept in reserve for subsequent airstrikes!"
"Once we annihilate their coalition, and then launch an airstrike against them, guess what kind of expression the other side will have!"
A cold sneer flashed across Stanford's face!
The subordinate was stunned, shocked by Stanford's idea!
However, he was still a bit worried:
"But our fighter jets are not much different from the enemy coalition's!"
"They are all third-generation fighters, and according to reports from the front, the enemy also has several fourth-generation fighters produced by the Bear!"
Stanford was dismissive of this!
"Do you think the enemy's pilots can be compared to ours?"
"We are surrounded by enemies on all sides; every one of the pilot warriors trained in combat against them is the elite of the elite!"
"Dealing with this bunch of guys is easy!"
"Besides, I didn't say we didn't have other preparations!"
"Bring out the two Electronic Warfare Aircraft we purchased from the Eagle, and let them see some sunlight!"
Upon hearing these words, the subordinate's eyes lit up immediately!
"Aren't those your precious treasures?"
"You weren't even willing to use them in previous airstrike operations!"
Stanford chuckled:
"In the previous airstrike operations, we had already deployed Fifth-generation fighter jets. If we were to deploy the Electronic Warfare Aircraft as well..."
"That would truly be a dimensionality reduction strike!"
"We cannot push them too hard, otherwise, terrorist incidents within the country will increase!"
The subordinate nodded.
As expected of General Stanford, he thinks so thoroughly!
Soon, the two Electronic Warfare Aircraft flew into the sky, following the main force.
The fighter jets of both sides engaged in combat in the air!
Just as Stanford had said, as soon as they clashed, several enemy planes were shot down!
These fighter jets, not yet understanding the situation, were hit by stray bullets and immediately burst into flames.
They had to eject to escape!
Other fighter jets were hit directly in the fuel tank, without even a chance to escape!
And as the battle deepened!
The coalition's fighter jets suffered more and more losses!
On the other hand, Daishin had dispatched only elite pilots. These pilots, who had been repeatedly tempered on the battlefield, possessed extremely high-level flying skills.
Even with over a hundred fighter jets battling in the aerial theater, they could handle it with ease.
The kill-to-loss ratio reached one to five at one point!
This was a terrifying number!
The high-ranking officials of the coalition were blushing!
This aerial force, pieced together from various models of fighter jets, was actually so vulnerable!
Their side had lost over ten fighter jets, while the enemy had barely had two shot down...
"Why? What is going on? Why is our Air Force so incompetent?"
"It hasn't been long, and thirteen fighter jets have already been shot down. At most, in one day, our air formation will be completely wiped out by the enemy!"
"Daishin hasn't even dispatched their Fifth-generation fighter jets, and we even have several fourth-generation fighters that are far superior to their F-16s, yet we are still no match for them!"
Pyramid Country was the most distressed; among the ten-plus fighter jets lost in this engagement, one was their fourth-generation fighter!
At this moment, an atmosphere of despair permeated the conference room!
On the other side, Daishin was quite happy!
General Stanford watched the radar screen quietly, sipping his coffee leisurely!
It seemed as if he were not at war, but rather engaging in leisure and entertainment!
"General, I will prepare a celebration banquet tonight!"
"To celebrate our heavy blow to the coalition fighter formation!"
Stanford smiled calmly:
"Of course!"
"I will bring a bottle of vintage champagne to the event!"
Everyone cheered.
"But before that..."
Stanford continued:
"It is time to organize a new round of attacks!"
"The bomber formation can be deployed!"
"This time, our target is the largest refugee area in Qiesha!"
The subordinate was somewhat confused:
"General, why here?"
Stanford looked at the map and sneered:
"Because this is the place where hatred is most intense!"
"Once hatred finds a channel for release, it will become a great threat!"
"I want to help them... extinguish the fire!"
A smug smile appeared on the subordinate's face as well.
The smile was like that of a ghost.
However, just at this moment!
The staff member who had been monitoring the radar suddenly spoke, breaking the joyful atmosphere:
"General!"
"One of our fighter jets has been shot down!"
Upon hearing this, Stanford just nodded calmly without much reaction!
It was normal for a fighter jet to be shot down; the opposing coalition also had elite pilots!
But what the radar staff member said next made Stanford somewhat unsettled!
The staff member pointed at the radar system and said with some surprise:
"And General..."
"There is absolutely no signal on our radar!"
"In other words, we don't even know who shot down our fighter jet!"
How is this possible????
Stanford stepped forward to carefully inspect the radar system and found that it was indeed as the staff member had said!
Their fighter jet had been shot down, and there was indeed no feedback signal at all!
What was going on?
Could the radar system...
...have malfunctioned????
