90: Chapter 90 Not wanting to end up being taken away for investigation.

After receiving the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, Lieutenant General Ham, Commander-in-Chief of the Jordan military, immediately completed their deployment across various units.

Initially lacking confidence in the combat performance of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, Lieutenant General Ham still dared not act rashly when facing Israel's fighter jets or drones crossing the border into Jordan.

The successful downing of fighter jets at the Raqqa Military Base filled Lieutenant General Ham with confidence in the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, and he decided to no longer tolerate the incursions by Israel's fighter jets.

Lieutenant General Ham immediately issued an order: drones from Israel could be shot down directly without prior authorization upon encounter; if Israel's fighter jets were encountered, they could be engaged with the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile after receiving approval from Lieutenant General Ham or Major General Dula.

The officers and soldiers who received the order were extremely excited. They no longer had to endure Israel's incursions in silence.

Every time they watched Israel's fighter jets swagger into Jordan's airspace, they could only look on helplessly, lacking powerful anti-aircraft missiles to retaliate, which made them feel humiliated as soldiers.

Soon, all units along the western border of Jordan adjacent to Israel were on high alert, performing final calibrations on the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, just waiting for Israel's fighter jets to plunge into the gates of hell.

After losing two drones and one F-16 Fighter Jet in succession along the border with Syria, Israel no longer dared to easily set foot in Syria's airspace.

However, they still paid no attention to the surrounding countries of Jordan and Lebanon.

In any case, these two countries possessed no significant anti-aircraft weaponry, equipped at most with anti-aircraft machine guns and cannons, which posed no threat to Israel's fighter jets.

On this day, a drone took off from Tel Nof Airbase for a routine patrol and reconnaissance mission, crossing the border of Jordan and preparing to fly in the direction of Amman.

The start was very smooth, with no abnormal activities detected from the Jordan military, which put the drone operators at Tel Nof Airbase at ease.

After all, the three fighter jets downed in Syria had been reported to every airbase, leaving them with lingering fears regarding Syria's anti-aircraft missiles.

"Fortunately, I am responsible for patrolling Jordan, so I won't enter Syria," the operator comforted himself.

However, before the operator could leisurely drink a cup of coffee, a shrill alarm sounded from the drone's monitoring system.

"Warning! Warning! Anti-aircraft missile detected. This unit is being locked on by an anti-aircraft missile. Requesting immediate return."

On the other side, a battalion in Aqaba equipped with the Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missile and the Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missile was monitoring the direction of Israel using radar.

Based on experience, the battalion commander judged that it was very likely that Israel would send a drone today to cross Aqaba and conduct a reconnaissance mission all the way to Amman.

Israel had done this countless times, and the battalion commander had already grasped the pattern.

Finally seeing the Israel drone appear on the radar monitoring screen, the battalion commander breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems I will have my first victory," the battalion commander said to himself.

When the drone approached Aqaba, the battalion commander immediately had the officers and soldiers operating the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile prepare for launch.

However, when the drone was 10 kilometers away from the anti-aircraft missile launch site, it turned and flew north. Having originally intended to use the Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missile to shoot down the drone, it was no longer possible to use it at this distance.

The battalion commander immediately ordered, "Launch a Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missile to shoot down the invading enemy drone."

Soon, the officers and soldiers operating the Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missile locked onto the drone and firmly pressed the launch button.

With only a soft "whoosh," the Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missile detached from the launcher and lunged straight at the drone in the distance.

The closing distance left the drone with no way to perform effective maneuvers. Even though it released flares at the last minute, it did not escape the fate of exploding in mid-air.

Looking at the Israel drone that had disappeared from the monitoring radar, the battalion commander was secretly happy, "Finally, Israel has been taught a lesson."

He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to head to the place where the drone crashed to collect the wreckage.

At the same time, he reported the victory of this battle to Major General Dula, asking Major General Dula to notify all units to prepare for anti-aircraft defense in case Israel retaliated.

Upon hearing the battalion commander's report, Major General Dula was very happy.

He was equally furious about Israel's frequent incursions, but Jordan lacked powerful anti-aircraft weapons, so they could only watch helplessly and dared not act rashly.

Learning that a drone from Israel had been shot down, Major General Dula praised the battalion commander while instructing him to pay close attention to Israel's movements, as it was very likely that the target of Israel's retaliation would be the military base in Aqaba.

After the battalion commander replied, "Yes, Major General!", he dared not relax, immediately ordering the soldiers to maintain a combat-ready state, and only allowing them to rest after the situation with Israel had cooled down.

After Colonel Yoni, the person in charge of Tel Nof Airbase, learned of the drone crash, he immediately pulled up the footage from before the crash.

Seeing the anti-aircraft missile lunging straight at the drone, Colonel Yoni examined it carefully, feeling a sense of familiarity.

He recalled the report materials sent from Palmachim Airbase; the downed drone and F-16 Fighter Jet had been hit and crashed by this very type of anti-aircraft missile.

Colonel Yoni couldn't help but suspect, "Could it be that Jordan is also equipped with this anti-aircraft missile? Otherwise, how could it be the same type of anti-aircraft missile?"

After confirming it repeatedly, he concluded that this was indeed the same type of anti-aircraft missile that had downed the F-16 Fighter Jet.

At this moment, Colonel Yoni hurriedly called off the F-15 Eagle fighter jet that was preparing to be dispatched to the crash site to investigate the situation and prepare for retaliation.

Now that Jordan had anti-aircraft missiles, if they continued to send the F-15 Eagle fighter jet, it would very likely be hit by Jordan, resulting in a heavy loss.

It was better to report to the high-level military officials of Israel and let them coordinate sending people to Jordan to figure out the situation before launching a retaliatory action.

Colonel Yoni did not want to end up like Colonel Benny, who faced the drone and F-16 Fighter Jet crash incidents in succession and ended up being taken away for investigation.

Colonel Yoni immediately ordered his officers and soldiers to organize the sequence of events regarding this drone crash, and after forming a simple report, he immediately transmitted it to Israel's high-level military officials.

As for what decision the high-level military officials would make, Colonel Yoni no longer concerned himself with it.

The thing he most wanted to do now was to keep an eye on all the officers and soldiers at Tel Nof Airbase, ensuring they would not inadvertently intrude into Jordan's airspace again.

If anyone disobeyed orders, he wouldn't mind punishing those disobedient officers and soldiers severely.
