13: Chapter 13 This was a routine patrol that went without any incident.

Palmachim Airbase.

Located in the Golan Heights, it is the base responsible for the Israeli Air Force's northern territory patrols.

Colonel Benny, as the person in charge of Palmachim Airbase, had risen through the ranks from ground crew and has served as the head of this airbase for two years.

These past two years have been a time of great success for Colonel Benny.

He participated in multiple airstrikes against Syria and Palestine, achieving excellent results.

He received multiple commendations from the Israeli Air Force and was even specifically praised by the Israeli Air Force Commander, with a high chance of further promotion.

Seeing that another day was coming to an end, Colonel Benny signed the routine patrol schedule log for the airbase.

Today, it was still arranged for two F-16 Fighter Jets to accompany one reconnaissance aircraft to carry out the routine patrol of the northern territory.

In the past, it was sufficient for only the reconnaissance aircraft to be deployed.

However, during this period, because Israel had conducted airstrikes on Iran's military bases, fighter jets were added to the patrol to prevent retaliation from Iran, ready at any time to intercept any potential enemy aircraft.

Colonel Benny walked to the office window and looked out at the three fighter jets in the distance, where ground crew were performing pre-flight preparations.

He thought to himself, "I hope there are no accidents on this routine patrol, and that tonight will remain a peaceful night."

The pilots on duty for this routine patrol were sitting in the ready room, chatting and laughing.

Major Nokin was the commander of this routine patrol, and he and Captain Sidi were responsible for piloting the reconnaissance aircraft to carry out the patrol and reconnaissance mission.

Captain Haruz and Captain Ezer were the pilots of the two F-16 Fighter Jets, providing escort and emergency combat support for the reconnaissance aircraft.

Captain Haruz said with a relaxed face, "A few days ago, I was nervous, thinking that Iran would have fighter jets invading our airspace, but I didn't expect that Iran wouldn't dare to take any action at all. This patrol should also be a flight without any waves."

"Iran's fighter jets are simply no match for ours; if they dare to invade, we will shoot them down immediately. Besides, I'm afraid Iran even struggles to deploy fighter jets. After all, they don't have the capability to produce fighter jets, and if their active-duty aircraft fly too much, they lack spare parts, so they won't deploy them casually."

Captain Sidi chimed in.

"Yeah, Iran doesn't have enough fighter jets domestically and hasn't deployed many in Syria. Our routine patrols are mainly focused on Russia's fighter jets; the fighter jets of Syria and Iran can be ignored."

"Russia's fighter jets haven't dared to deploy recently either. The forces they've committed to Syria are shrinking, and they are unable to send fighter jets to our borders to show off."

Major Nokin, while looking at the precautions in the flight log and listening to their conversation, reminded them: "Iran and Russia certainly haven't dared to act rashly during this period, but we still need to be careful of their anti-aircraft missiles. This time, we won't go deep into Syrian airspace; we'll fly a circle over the Golan Heights and then return."

As the ground crew completed the final checks, Major Nokin and the other pilots boarded their fighter jets. Under the guidance of air traffic control, they began to take off one by one and flew away from the runway.

Colonel Benny watched the three fighter jets complete their takeoff. While he breathed a sigh of relief, a faint sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

...

The valley at the foothills of Mount Sheikh.

The evening sun's afterglow shone on the valley, bringing a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

But soon, a thrilling battle would take place here.

When Li Yi performed the teleportation through the Multiverse Arms Trading System, he discovered that the system funds were down to only 80,000 yuan.

It seems that for every teleportation, the Multiverse Arms Trading System deducts 10,000 yuan in funds.

10,000 yuan is quite a high cost for Li Yi right now, but it is a necessary expense.

Painfully watching the system deduct the 10,000 yuan, Li Yi appeared in the valley at the foothills of Mount Sheikh.

As long as this arms deal can be successfully concluded, he will have a large sum of funds immediately, Li Yi comforted himself.

After selecting the terrain, he found a relatively hidden and flat place.

Subsequently, Li Yi extracted a complete set of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile launch system from the Multiverse Arms Trading System and began to deploy the various pre-launch preparations.

The launch of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile does not require many personnel; just four or five people are enough.

If you don't consider the need for relocation, a single person can complete the launch independently.

It just requires a longer preparation time.

Unlike the active-duty anti-aircraft missiles of the USA or Russia, which require more personnel and have relatively complex operations.

Li Yi methodically carried out various launch preparations, and in just over half an hour, the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile began to enter the launch state.

Seeing that the ground-based radar had started searching for enemy fighter jets, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately set up satellite shielding equipment to conceal the anti-aircraft missile.

After all the work was completed, Li Yi checked the time; it was exactly around 7:00 PM.

The last ray of the sun's afterglow had disappeared, night had fallen, and the valley appeared even quieter.

Li Yi monitored the ground-based radar while calling Lieutenant Colonel Haidari.

"Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile will be launched tonight. The launch area is in the southwest border region of Syria, near Israel."

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari asked, "Is it confirmed that it will be launched?"

"As long as Israeli fighter jets fly over the Syrian border, it will definitely be launched tonight. You can rest assured about that!"

Li Yi told Lieutenant Colonel Haidari with a firm tone.

"Okay, then I will arrange for people to rush to Haibai in advance to stand by."

Haibai is not far from the southwest border of Syria, and it wouldn't take long to get there. Lieutenant Colonel Haidari considered the troop deployment and made the decision.

"Arrange it as soon as possible. After we arrange to shoot down the Israeli fighter jets, I will immediately tell you the location of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile launch equipment, and you can arrange for people to come and receive it."

"No problem. We have a battalion of troops in Haibai, and we can immediately dispatch personnel to arrive there."

Li Yi didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

The ground-based radar supporting the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile has a detection range of over 400 kilometers, which is significantly higher than the maximum combat range of the anti-aircraft missile itself. It can monitor enemy fighter jets in advance and lock on and prepare for launch in a timely manner.

Of course, this detection range is not particularly long, but it is sufficient for the anti-aircraft missile to perform intelligence monitoring.

Looking at the aircraft detected on the ground-based radar, the number was not large.

Because Syria is in turmoil, the airspace is not safe, and civil aircraft rarely fly through this area.

Therefore, it takes a long time for any aircraft to fly through the airspace detected by the ground-based radar.

After Li Yi set the parameters for the enemy fighter jets, he began to wait nervously for the appearance of the Israeli fighter jets.
