"Electromagnetic interference started yesterday, and they won't notice anything." The naval commander in the early warning aircraft confidently said to the White Swan pilot who was refueling.
Their prowlers are very powerful and can suppress all Dorne's radar detection equipment, and in order not to arouse the other party's vigilance, the interference has started yesterday.
Moreover, the navy not only dispatched electronic warfare aircraft this time, they also dispatched flying shark fighter jets, which put a little pressure on Dorne with real swords and guns.
Yesterday, the Flying Shark Force shot down 4 Dorn aircraft that took off on patrol, trying to find the Tang Empire's naval fleet, including two fighter jets and two patrol planes.
This result may not seem big, but it has already made Dorne feel painful. Today, all patrols by the Dorne Air Force have been cancelled, and not a single aircraft appeared on the radar screen of the Tang Army's early warning aircraft.
"Thank you for your help." The captain of the White Swan, who had completed docking with the tanker, thanked him. His computer was correcting the fuel gauge, and soon the White Swan would be able to resume carrying its own fuel.
This behemoth takes off with a full load and weighs more than two hundred tons. Four powerful jet engines are needed to make this thing fly.
Each such engine can produce 25 tons of thrust, which is enough to allow it to fly at twice the speed of sound. To allow a 270-ton thing to fly at such a speed, the power of technology is truly terrifying.
"Everything went well with the refueling..." The officer inside the tanker looked at the constantly changing fuel gauge and joined in the chat: "Soon you will be able to fly for a long time again."
"It did take a long time to fly. Fortunately, there is autopilot." The pilot in the White Swan said with a smile. He really wanted to chat with people more, and a ten-hour flight was really boring.
"You will soon enter Dorne's airspace. Pay attention to safety. Our fighter jets can only clear the way for you 500 kilometers... This is almost their limit." Inside the navy's early warning aircraft, the commander looked at the messages that were spreading on the screen.
Light Spot said.
Four Flying Shark fighter jets will provide a period of escort, but they will have to return together with the Prowler electronic warfare aircraft, because their range is certainly not comparable to that of the White Swan.
Soon, the five Tu-160 bombers completed refueling, then climbed to a higher place, crossed the coastline, and began to accelerate. They soon exceeded the speed of sound again, and their altitude gradually approached 10,000 meters.
At this moment, Dorne's air defense radar is full of electromagnetic interference noise. The radar operators are already used to this. As long as their radar is turned on, it is already serving the country with its life.
Even turning on the aircraft requires great courage. It is unrealistic to expect them to detect the invading Tang aircraft. Therefore, the entire Dorne air defense network is basically in a state of paralysis.
No one knows that an enemy plane has broken into their airspace, and even if they know, there is no way to intercept it. So everyone is arrogant and pretending to be very busy.
"Something's wrong... Why is the interference getting more and more serious?" A Dornish radar operator frowned. He was already inland. Under normal circumstances, the source of interference from the Tang Army was very far away from him.
Far away, the interference he received here was not particularly serious.
"This shows that their jamming aircraft... crossed the coastline..." He looked at his commander and gave his own judgment: "The other party usually rarely goes deep into the coastline. This time it was a bit abnormal."
"Turn on the backup radar near the imperial capital! I'm afraid it's not here to bomb the imperial capital, right?" Dorne's officers were most afraid of the fact that their imperial capital would be attacked, so they immediately ordered.
After the backup radar station was turned on, they discovered the invading Tang aircraft... But they only discovered it for a few seconds before the signal was suppressed by interference.
Now Dorne knows that enemy planes have invaded their airspace, but they don't know the exact number, nor the opponent's purpose and heading.
"Take off aircraft for patrol..." In the Imperial Capital Air Defense Command, the air force officer on duty could not sit still. He ordered the fighter jets at the Imperial Capital Airport to take off and prepare to intercept enemy aircraft.
Several jet fighters scrambled to take off, but did not find any invading enemy planes. They did not dare to neglect, and kept cruising like this.
After the Tang Army's Prowler electronic warfare aircraft returned, those radar stations in Dorne that had the courage to turn on found that there seemed to be a few big guys rushing into the hinterland of rain forests to the south.
"The enemy plane did not go to the direction of the imperial capital! It went to the south..." In Dorne's air force headquarters, a general wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with relief.
"What a great opportunity! They have no escort fighter jets and are completely deep into our country... we can shoot them down!" A young officer almost shouted in excitement.
The generals' eyes lit up when they heard this suggestion: Indeed, since the other party did not come to bomb their imperial capital, there is no possibility of them being embarrassed. At this time, it seems that they can consider meritorious service.
"Take off the plane to intercept them! No matter what, we must shoot down these guys who are not afraid of death!" The Dornish Air Force general who had regained his confidence immediately ordered.
"The opponent's flight altitude exceeds 10,000 meters. We rarely have aircraft that can fly to this altitude to intercept..." After getting the radar data, the young officer who was very excited just now suddenly lost half of his arrogance.
"More than 10,000 meters? Didn't you say that thing is as big as a passenger plane?" After hearing the news, the generals of the Dorne Air Force looked puzzled.
"Yes, the reflected signal is very large, just like a passenger plane... but it is flying at supersonic speed and the flight altitude is more than 12,000 meters." The officer in charge of liaison smiled helplessly.
The interception plan seems to be over before it even begins. Some of their aircraft can indeed fly at supersonic speeds, and some can fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters... but they really don't have aircraft that can fly that fast at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.
.
Even if there were, it would not be possible to intercept them in time. The opponent's flying speed is too fast, which is enough to throw away the interceptor aircraft taken off by the Dornish Air Force.
"Give it a try... you can." Finally, a general said reluctantly. His mood was very complicated. It was obvious that the Tang Empire was using technology to slap their Dorne Air Force in the face.
Soon, seven or eight airports of the Dorne Air Force received orders to take off to intercept the Tang Empire planes. Their faces hurt, so they decided to return this slap in the face no matter what!
