Chapter 863: Chapter 354 Aerial Confrontation Chapter 863: Chapter 354 Aerial Confrontation The United States had been continuously monitoring the situation on the ground through satellites in space. When they saw the mysterious fighter jet suddenly appear and destroy their two F-15s, they imdiately identified the person wearing the exoskeleton armor as their target—the Destroyer.
Then, Tripiṭaka, who had been lying in ambush, suddenly struck at the Destroyer, putting the Aricans at ease. They knew Tripiṭaka was very formidable, especially since he had launched a surprise attack, so they believed the Destroyer had no chance of escaping this ti. However, as the battle unfolded, the Aricans were greatly disappointed because their highly relied-upon Tripiṭaka was actually buried underground by the Destroyer, and the one who should have been captured, the Destroyer, erged victorious and successfully returned to the drone.
Seeing such an unexpected outco, the Aricans were inwardly crushed. At the sa ti, they were also shocked because, in their view, no one in the world had developed exoskeleton armor with real combat capabilities yet, so the exoskeleton armor on the Destroyer was thought to be just a disguise without any actual combat power. Little did they know that in actual combat, the exoskeleton armor worn by the Destroyer played a formidable role, causing great trouble for Tripiṭaka and leading to his entrapnt underground.
Then, the Aricans started coveting the exoskeleton armor of the Destroyer. However, they didn’t believe that the exoskeleton armor was manufactured by the Destroyer himself; they suspected that it was obtained from key items in the underground cave. That is to say, the Destroyer had already made contact with the key items and had gained specific benefits from them. He might even already know the secrets of the key items.
Since the cave had completely collapsed and the key items were buried deep underground, the Aricans had to kill or capture the Destroyer in order to learn the secrets of the key items and obtain the exoskeleton armor, and even to fulfill their initial plan of taking down the Destroyer. Otherwise, not only would the United States have suffered heavy losses in this operation, but they would have also gained nothing.
So when they realized Tripiṭaka had failed, the fleet of combat aircraft in the sky did not halt their operation but continued to fly toward Yan Fei. Despite the weather conditions being completely unsuitable for airplane combat, and their opponent being the enigmatic stealth aircraft, these Arican pilots did not shrink back; instead, they bravely faced the challenge, aiming to exhaust the stealth aircraft with their nurical advantage. Then they planned to capture the Destroyer, who had lost the support of the mysterious aircraft, to complete their strategic task.
The US Air Force was determined to take down the Destroyer, and Yan Fei was resolute in eliminating the Arican military force in Africa; neither would give in. When Yan Fei realized that the Arican fighter jet fleet was closing in on him, he did not retreat but prepared to engage in head-on combat. Under Yan Fei’s control, the drone turned in the air and swiftly ascended to an altitude of 25,000 ters, heading straight for the Arican fighter jets.
Although the US Forces wanted to use their nurical advantage to exhaust the Destroyer’s mysterious aircraft, the stealth nature of the aircraft ant that even with the E-3 Sentry AWACS radar scanning continuously, no traces of any aircraft could be detected in the distant skies. However, the Aricans knew that the fearso mysterious aircraft must be waiting for them up ahead, yet they were unafraid and rapidly advanced into the airspace ahead.
Because of the volcanic ash, the Arican satellites in outer space had lost their capability to scout the ground, so they could not locate the drone using the satellites. The Aricans had hoped that the mysterious aircraft was using the Arican GPS navigation system so that they could track the drone using their GPS satellites. Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed because the drone’s uniqueness ant it did not use any satellite navigation system and naturally wouldn’t leave any flight traces for the satellites to detect.
The drone flew silently, stealthily approaching the Arican combat aircraft fleet from a height of 25,000 ters. As the volcanic ash in the sky thickened, severely impacting the visibility of both the Arican pilots and the optical observation instrunts on the airplanes, the US early warning aircraft radar could not detect the drone, nor could their pilots and optical instrunts.
In a very short ti, the drone reached a point 50 kiloters ahead of the Arican combat aircraft fleet. To ensure its absolute safety, the drone did not get any closer. Instead, it locked onto targets using quantum radar, and with a rapid vibration of its body, it simultaneously launched 10 AIM-120 air-to-air missiles. These AIM-120 air-to-air missiles had the E-3 Sentry AWACS as their target.
The E-3 Sentry AWACS were multiplier of the combat capabilities of the US Air Force. As long as the E-3 Sentry AWACS were operational, the combat capabilities of the US fighter jets were enhanced. Therefore, Yan Fei’s first target was the E-3 Sentry AWACS. As the drone fired this volley of air-to-air missiles, its position was montarily exposed. However, as soon as the missiles were launched, the doors of the drone’s ammunition depot closed, and the drone re-entered stealth mode.
The ti during which the drone was exposed was incredibly brief, not nearly enough for the Arican fighter jet fleet to lock on and attack it with missiles. Still, using the position from when the drone was exposed, the E-3 Sentry was able to pinpoint the approximate location of the drone. The data known about the drone was then entered into the computer, which used its simulation computation abilities to predict the potential positions of the drone.
