The factory director has a new skill every day, which has broken down the strategic deception bureau

at this time.

The Ermao frontline command center was brightly lit, with a huge electronic sand table covering an entire wall, displaying real-time dynamic intelligence on the strength, equipment, and storage locations of the Damao frontline troops.

The supreme commander of the two Mao, 'Driver', looked at the densely packed and clearly marked deployment points of the big Mao, a smile of extreme pride curling at the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with the arrogance of having control over the whole situation.

"All of Russia's armored formations, front-line equipment, and supply depots are under the full surveillance of our satellites and reconnaissance aircraft. Their every move is completely undetectable."

"Destroying them is merely a matter of a single thought for me!"

Although he spoke arrogantly and confidently, only the "driver" knew the anxiety in his heart.

After years of fighting, Russia's own missile and ammunition stockpile has been completely depleted. Now, all the precision-guided weapons, air defense munitions, and strike munitions on the front lines rely entirely on the free aid from NATO and the United States.

To continue to acquire huge amounts of military resources and maintain its own voice, it must achieve remarkable military exploits and use the results of severely damaging Russia to obtain continuous financial support from the West.

The chief of staff bowed respectfully and asked, "General, all strike units are in position, missiles are loaded, and the drone formation is airborne and ready. When shall the next round of bombing begin?"

The driver reached into a stack of top-secret intelligence reports and pulled out a document, his fingertips emphasizing the coordinates marked on the file, his eyes sharp: "Let's start here!"

"The Kakhevka large field ammunition depot, located on the southern front of the Russian border, holds nearly half a month's worth of frontline assault ammunition, tank shells, and anti-aircraft missiles. It is the core supply hub for Russia on the southern front!"

"By destroying this ammunition depot, the Russian armored forces on the southern front will completely lose their ability to sustain combat operations and will no longer be able to launch an effective counterattack!"

"Yes, General!" The chief of staff accepted the order and immediately prepared to issue the strike command.

The driver, his face grim, watched the chief of staff's departing figure and muttered under his breath, "Big Russia, go ahead and destroy everything!"

"The outcome of this battle was predetermined long ago!"

"I have NATO and the US behind me... Who do you have backing?"

The driver looked confident.

However, less than five minutes later, the usually composed and capable chief of staff, pale-faced and frantic, rushed into the command hall, his voice filled with extreme panic: "General! Something terrible has happened!"

The driver frowned and snapped, "What's the panic! The sky's not falling! Speak slowly!"

"The massive Kahefka ammunition depot... has disappeared!"

"What?"

The driver's pupils constricted, his face filled with disbelief. He abruptly stood up from his chair, his voice a mixture of anger and astonishment: "Explain yourself clearly!"

"What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"

Chief of Staff: "We are just preparing to launch an air strike. We will first send multiple tactical reconnaissance aircraft to approach, lock onto the coordinates, and confirm the target."

"But all the images and radar scan data transmitted back by the reconnaissance aircraft are completely blank!"

"The once clearly visible large ammunition depot area, along with its associated fuel storage tanks and defensive positions, have completely vanished, leaving the entire area empty!"

The driver was shocked upon hearing this and rushed to the radar display screen and real-time reconnaissance footage, staring intently at the screen.

The coordinates of the large ammunition depot, which were originally firmly locked and highlighted, have now become just ordinary signals in the wilderness.

There was no metallic reflection, no facility outline, no heat source reaction; it was as if this large strategic warehouse, covering tens of thousands of square meters, had never existed.

"What... what kind of bizarre situation is this?" The driver's hands and feet were cold, and his face was full of confusion.

The entire radar monitoring room was stunned, filled with uproar, and everyone was in a state of extreme confusion and shock.

"Could it be a malfunction in the reconnaissance aircraft's onboard radar, causing the scanning data to be incorrect?" a technical officer couldn't help but question.

The chief of staff immediately shook his head in denial: "Impossible!"

"We dispatched four different types of reconnaissance aircraft to take turns scanning the area, and all of them showed no signal and no target; the results were completely consistent!"

"How could such a large supply depot, with reinforced concrete fortifications, massive quantities of metal ammunition, and large storage facilities, simply vanish into thin air?"

"Could this be an optical illusion, a decoy set up by Russia to deliberately lure us into an airstrike?"

"Even if it's a disguise, the metal radar signal can't fool the equipment!"

"A hasty bombing attempt that misses the target would be a complete waste of precious NATO missiles!"

The crowd was divided and hesitant.

The driver gritted his teeth and ordered, "Immediately request assistance from NATO's space reconnaissance system and deploy NATO military satellites to conduct a full-scale scan and verification of those coordinates!"

"Yes, sir!" The communications soldier immediately sent an urgent telegram requesting assistance.

NATO's current space reconnaissance system is extremely powerful, relying on the SINBAD wide-area monitoring system and a network of multiple integrated aperture radar satellites and electro-optical reconnaissance satellites.

It possesses all-weather, all-time, and all-meteorological reconnaissance capabilities.

In wide-area scanning mode, the resolution can reach three meters, and in fixed-point fine scanning mode, the accuracy breaks through the sub-meter level, making it easy to identify field fortifications, armored vehicles, and storage facilities.

It can even detect the activity traces of individual soldiers on the ground, providing comprehensive intelligence support for the Ermao battlefield year after year, and has never missed a target.

Within minutes, NATO satellite verification feedback was transmitted back to command, the content of which was cold and mind-blowing: no large metal storage facilities, ammunition clusters, or man-made fortifications were detected within the designated coordinate area.

There were no abnormal heat sources or radar reflection targets, and the area was a target blank.

Upon seeing the feedback, the driver was completely dumbfounded, muttering to himself with disbelief: "This is really strange... a large strategic material and ammunition depot of tens of thousands of square meters."

"It was still clearly visible last night, but in just a few hours, could it really have vanished without a trace?"

The adjutant beside him quickly stepped forward to ask, "General, NATO satellite scanning has yielded no results, and all conventional reconnaissance methods have failed. Perhaps... we should request US satellite assistance in the verification?"

The driver's face was extremely grim. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "It seems this is the only way!"

"Immediately contact the US and request assistance from US military satellites for verification!"

Compared to NATO's satellite constellation, the US's current top-of-the-line Keyhole series and space-based synthetic aperture radar satellites can be considered the pinnacle of global space-based reconnaissance.

Its fixed-point high-precision imaging resolution can reach 0.1 meters, and it can penetrate clouds, fog, and shallow camouflage nets to accurately capture small metal targets and heat source fluctuations on the ground.

It can not only identify fixed fortifications and armored formations, but also distinguish vehicle models and equipment details.

It can monitor any point on the battlefield around the clock without blind spots, and has maintained its leading position in the global space reconnaissance field for many years. It is the most core intelligence trump card of the Western camp.

As the encrypted distress signal was sent, the US reconnaissance satellite in space quickly adjusted its orbit.

Align with the coordinates of the Maukakhevka region and initiate the highest-precision fixed-point scanning verification.
