The bandicoot airborne early warning aircraft was patrolling in the air under the escort of two intruder fighter jets. The current cruising altitude was 9000 meters, and the detection range of low-altitude fighter jets was about 230 kilometers.
When the fleet of the Thousand-island Country's Air Force entered the detection range of the Bandit AAWC, it was immediately detected. The radar operator immediately shouted,""Report, we have discovered the enemy fleet. There are 68 of them, flying at an altitude of 240 meters and a speed of 420 kilometers per hour!”
"Link to the database and transmit the information to the air force base!”
"Yes, sir!"
In less than ten seconds, the air force base received the discovery of the bandicoot early warning aircraft, so the prepared fighter aircraft immediately began to take off. This time, the interception aircraft group would dispatch a total of three intruder fighter aircraft squads and 12 intruder fighter aircraft.
All of them were fully loaded. There were a total of four ATMT-21 active air-to-air missiles and two short-range air-to-air missiles. If it was a heavy fighter aircraft, it could carry more missiles. However, the Black Hawk heavy fighter aircraft in the Air Force Command had not been unlocked yet. They needed to wait for three months.
After unlocking the advanced technology, all the buildings and weapons in the Red Alert Base could be used. Of course, if the base was upgraded, more advanced equipment would be unlocked.
It only took about ten minutes for the 12 fighter jets to take off. The early warning aircraft would report the situation of the Thousand Island Country's air force fleet to them every once in a while and provide them with the best interception plan.
The fleet arrived at the designated airspace after 20 minutes, waiting for the arrival of the Thousand Island Country's air force fleet. The intruder fighter jets were now flying at an altitude of 2000 meters.
When the distance between the two sides was 150 kilometers, the airborne radar could already detect the existence of the target. However, their radar was not turned on because it would attract the attention of the Qiandao Country's air force. Instead, they relied on the radar of the early warning aircraft.
At this moment, the invaders 'fighter jets immediately began to attack. One by one, missiles were dropped and ignited as they flew into the distant airspace.
The air force of the Thousand-island Country didn't know what was going on. They were still flying at a low altitude. The scene of dozens of fighter planes flying was very big, let alone flying at a low altitude.
When the people of the Thousand Island Nation saw the fighter planes in the sky, they were delighted and proud of their powerful air force. However, they would not think so anymore.
When the missiles flew into the designated airspace, the radar of the missiles was turned on. With the help of the early warning aircraft, they locked onto their respective targets in a moment. This time, a total of 68 ATMT21 missiles were launched.
There were only four missiles left in the intruder's fighter fleet that had not been fired. They were left to be used as a finishing blow.
At this moment, the pilots of the Qiandao Country's air force heard a terrifying sound. The radar warning device of their fighter jet began to flash frequently. Only then did they know that they had been locked on.
Very soon, some fighter jets began to climb, because it was impossible to maneuver and dodge in such low airspace. If they were not careful, they might crash into the ground.
However, it was already too late. One after another, air-to-air missiles appeared and headed straight for their respective targets.
Just this wave of air strikes had taken out 62 of their fighter planes, and six of them had escaped. At this time, they were only focused on escaping and did not think about completing any missions.
However, the fighter jets did not intend to let them go. They fired the remaining four air-to-air missiles, which could at least take down three more fighter jets.
At this time, their mission had been completed, and the missiles had been used up. Therefore, they began to return. They might have a combat mission next, so they needed to be ready to take off at any time.
At the same time, the 1st Armored Brigade had also begun to attack. They were also divided into two groups. At present, the ground forces of the Thousand Islands Kingdom were less than 50 kilometers away from Pontiak. There was not much time left for them. Li Jiulong did not want a single shell to hit Pontiak.
The 1st Armored Brigade was also divided into two groups, one heavy infantry battalion and two synthetic armored battalions, to attack the north. The Thousand Island Country's army was mainly comprised of infantry. In addition to the infantry brigade, there were nearly six infantry battalions, two artillery battalions, and two anti-aircraft artillery battalions. Including the logistics force, there were about 6000 people.
The other two synthetic armored battalions would attack the southern ground forces of the Thousand Island Country. This was also the route with the strongest armored forces. Therefore, if the helicopter battalion was assigned to this route, coupled with the cover of the attack aircraft, it would be completely possible to defeat many with fewer troops.
