at this time.

Inside the cockpit of an RQ-190 Dark Raven stealth reconnaissance aircraft at an altitude of 5,000 meters in the stratosphere.

Kane Miller gripped the joystick, casually maneuvering the airborne terrain scanning radar.

The screen continuously refreshes the terrain outline of the western suburbs of Shenzhen, the electromagnetic spectrum of the factory area, and the infrared feature data of buildings in the nearby military camp.

"The flight path is stable, and there is no ground radar signal. The low-altitude air defense blind spot in southern China is exactly the same as what our intelligence department calculated."

Miller whistled casually, looking smug.

The next second, an extremely dazzling golden white light suddenly broke through the black mist on the ground.

It soared straight up to 5,000 meters in the air from the western suburbs of Shenzhen!

Bang! ! !

The deafening roar traveled through the air, and a giant, double-layered, colorful ball of light exploded at an altitude of 5,000 meters.

A blinding light instantly filled the night sky in front of the aircraft.

A dazzling light curtain pierced through the cabin windows, illuminating the dim cockpit as bright as day.

Caught off guard, Miller's pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes stung and watered from the bright light.

My nerves tensed instantly, and my hands instinctively gripped the flight control stick tightly.

He slammed his body back against the seat, his face contorted in terror as he screamed incoherently:

"Fuck! What is that? This... is an airburst flashbang?"

Ron Carter, the co-pilot, instantly abandoned all his arrogance, leaned forward, and stared intently at the exploding colorful lights in the sky ahead, his heart sinking.

"No! There's no ultraviolet burning characteristic of a tactical flashbang, no shockwave..."

"Look at these scattered fluorescent fragments; their appearance... doesn't it look like fireworks?"

"Fireworks?" Miller's voice trembled, his mind filled with disbelief, and he retorted in a broken voice, "Ron, are you crazy? What kind of fireworks can shoot straight up to five thousand meters in the sky?"

"An airburst in the stratosphere?"

"This is definitely a low-altitude tactical warning munition from the Chinese military!"

"Could it be... that we've been discovered?"

The operations staff officer in the back of the cabin sat bolt upright, his palms sweating: "Captain! An unidentified airburst target has appeared in the airspace ahead!"

"There appears to be anti-aircraft firepower deployed on the ground!"

"Should we immediately activate the airborne all-weather early warning radar to scan for risks in the surrounding airspace?"

Ron Carter's face was extremely grim as his mind raced, weighing the pros and cons and finding himself in a difficult dilemma.

He knew it better than anyone else.

The core premise of the Raven reconnaissance aircraft's full stealth capability is to keep the active early warning radar off throughout the entire flight and only activate the passive silent scanning module.

Once the high-powered early warning radar is actively activated, the stealth coating on the entire aircraft will be completely rendered ineffective.

Radar wave signals will be instantly exposed to China's national air defense network system.

Their movements will be precisely locked by ground-based air defense forces!

Without turning on the radar, it's impossible to see any sudden airspace targets ahead, and it's unclear whether they are anti-aircraft ambush targets.

Turning on the radar would directly expose their stealth intrusion route, which is tantamount to walking into a trap.

A mere two seconds of hesitation!

Six consecutive, intensely red projectiles pierced through the clouds, and a dense cluster of light projectiles hurtled towards the reconnaissance aircraft's patrol airspace at an altitude of 5,000 meters.

A series of sequential airbursts occurred around the fuselage!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A series of roars echoed through the stratosphere, and clusters of colorful fireworks exploded around the reconnaissance aircraft.

The red, blue, and white lights flashed in turn, illuminating the outline of the entire stealth reconnaissance aircraft clearly.

The dense aerial bombing perfectly blocked all escape routes for the reconnaissance aircraft.

The entire night sky was as if it had been opened to low-altitude, all-encompassing firepower, with trails of fireworks flowing across the sky.

It looks exactly like a saturation barrage of interception bullets from ground-based anti-aircraft artillery!

The three American personnel in the cabin turned pale and froze.

Miller was breathing rapidly, his eyes filled with extreme fear, and even his voice was trembling uncontrollably.

"My God! This isn't ammunition...this is a rapid-fire ballistic missile...a saturation-coverage airspace interception!"

Ron Carter's pupils constricted sharply. Years of border reconnaissance experience allowed him to instantly assess the situation: "Fuck! This is a low-altitude barrage from a ground-based vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft gun!"

"We've entered their air defense ambush zone!"

"Quickly! Activate all onboard active early warning radars immediately!"

"Increase engine thrust, climb to full speed and altitude, and leave this airspace!"

"Quickly...retreat immediately!"

hum! ! !

With the captain's command, the RQ-190 Raven stealth reconnaissance aircraft's high-power active early warning radar, which had been dormant for a long time, instantly started at full power.

The radar detection waves, invisible to the naked eye, spread outwards throughout the entire area.

However, as soon as the radar wave penetrated the atmosphere, it was immediately detected and traced by the nationwide air defense network system covering the southeastern coast of China.

……

Eastern part of Shenzhen.

A border air defense radar station of the China Army Theater Command.

Inside the duty room, the multi-screen networked radar terminal was operating smoothly.

The next second, the entire row of screens suddenly lit up with glaring red alarm lights.

Drop drop! ! !

Drop drop! ! !

A sharp, urgent red alert instantly blared throughout the entire radar station, the piercing electronic buzzing shattering the camp's nighttime tranquility.

A young soldier on duty, dressed in a dark blue air defense combat uniform, sits at the terminal.

The screen displays the coordinates of unidentified high-risk aerial targets from overseas, intruding flight paths, and over-restricted airspace.

"Damn it..."

Without the slightest hesitation, he slammed the red Level 1 combat readiness alarm button on the table!

"Urgent report! An unidentified stealth aircraft from abroad has been illegally intruded into our airspace in the western suburbs of Shenzhen, southeast of our city!"

"Military radar emission signals activated; hostile military aircraft have been identified as having infiltrated our airspace!"

"Level One Air Emergency!"

The piercing alarm bells of the all-area combat readiness system instantly filled the entire air defense camp.

All lights were switched to red combat readiness warning lights.

Inside the camp dormitories, rest areas, and equipment storage rooms.

The hundreds of air defense soldiers who were originally resting in shifts were instantly awakened, and everyone sprang to their feet as if by conditioned reflex.

The soldiers quickly put on their full set of standard combat uniforms, fastened their tactical belts, and donned their individual bulletproof gear, then assembled at full speed along the combat readiness corridor.

The artillery crew quickly rushed to the anti-aircraft gun position and locked the gun muzzle elevation angle.

Infantry duty squads, armed with Type 95 automatic rifles, quickly positioned themselves to block the outer entrances and exits of the radar station.

Everyone was on high alert, and the entire combat readiness process was carried out smoothly with zero unnecessary actions.

All personnel entered a state of combat readiness for air defense, with artillery and radar working in sync to target the coordinates of the intruding airspace.

A piercing air raid siren sounded throughout the entire area.

Synchronized with the Shenzhen Military Aviation Station.

A J-10C fighter jet formation on 24-hour standby!

The airport control tower flashed red warning lights, and the tower commander immediately issued an emergency scramble order to intercept: "Level One Air Situation Alarm! Enemy aircraft has intruded into the airspace over the western suburbs!"

"Jet fighter formation 01, 02, and 03, scramble for interception!"

"yes!"

Three J-10C all-weather multi-role fighter jets, painted in matte military gray, had already completed their routine pre-maintenance checks.

The standby pilots quickly put on their full high-altitude anti-G flight suits, boarded the aircraft, closed the cockpit canopy, and the onboard avionics system was powered on and performed a self-test in one second.

laugh! ! !

The fighter jet's tail section emitted a scorching white afterburner flame.

The three fighter jets taxied, sprinted, and raised their noses in sequence, their landing gear leaving the ground as they climbed continuously into the darkness.

The formation formed a standard triangular interception array, and the airborne fire control radar was activated.

Following the enemy aircraft coordinates synchronously pushed by the air defense radar station, it sped towards the target airspace at full supersonic speed!

Boom boom boom... Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The Mach number continued to rise, and the whistling sound tore through the night sky as it rushed toward the interception route!

In just three minutes and twenty seconds.

The triangular fighter formation arrived at the target's patrol airspace at an altitude of 5,000 meters, and the onboard fire control radar instantly locked onto the Raven stealth reconnaissance aircraft that was still fleeing in panic.

The airborne radio frequency suppression module starts at full power.

A high-intensity military radar suppression wave instantly enveloped the entire US reconnaissance aircraft.

moment.

The reconnaissance aircraft's onboard screens were flashing static, the flight control system malfunctioned extensively, and the engine thrust was forced to be reduced.

At the same time, our personnel broadcast a message throughout the area, their voices strong and clear.

"This is an air force combat formation!"

"Unidentified flying object ahead. You have illegally entered our airspace. Immediately cease all reconnaissance operations and shut down your onboard weapons and radar systems!"

"Immediately reduce flight altitude and obey airspace command!"

"Repeat, obey the command immediately!"

"Otherwise, we have the right to intercept and shoot it down in the airspace on the spot!"
