My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1190 - 1089: Vulture Fighter!

"First-level combat readiness!"

Shayol issued the command to the 277th Fighter Squadron.

This squadron was not stationed at Barling Base, but thousands of kilometers away, at Diego Garcia Base in the depths of the ocean.

The base is the only and extremely important strategic base in the Indian Ocean.

Its geographical location is extremely crucial: 2,000 kilometers to the east lies Nanhui Continent, 1,000 kilometers north one can reach India, and 3,000 kilometers west one can arrive at the important energy trade route of the Persian Gulf, making it especially suitable for the stationing of long-range strategic bombers.

After many years of expansion and renovation, the base can even accommodate carrier strike groups for rest and repairs. It normally hosts a large number of fighters, tankers, transport aircraft, and there is also a constant presence of attack nuclear submarines for training.

Because it is surrounded by sea, remote from land and trade routes, it also serves as an excellent testing ground for weapons and equipment.

A thousand kilometers away, Bihu Ocean of Bihu Continent is the notorious aerospace graveyard.

Since it is scarcely visited, with virtually no islands or human habitation, it is the chosen crash site for failed rocket launches and satellites at the end of their lifespan.

For this reason, the 277th Fighter Squadron also trains here year-round.

The squadron holds a high rank, with the squadron leader holding the rank of colonel, which speaks to the squadron’s specialty.

It has always been the ’Advanced Aviation Vehicles Combat Testing’ unit.

In other words.

Whatever the latest and most advanced aircraft the Star Federation has, it is handed over to this squadron, which carries out nearly combat-like tests at the particularly convenient and secretive Diego Garcia Base.

The enormous area of Bihu Ocean, which can easily span millions of square kilometers without a single ship or island, is naturally the best for testing weapons and equipment.

Fourth-generation stealth bombers, stealth fighters, and the like have all been tested by this squadron, and now, the fighters equipped by this squadron are already fifth-generation.

Research one generation, test one generation, and equip one generation.

This is the consistent process of military powers around the world.

The most advanced equipment is always being developed in the lab, but its quality and performance are not reliable. All sorts of outlandish scientific research concepts and high-tech that common people can’t think of are put to trial.

Currently undergoing small-scale, secret testing, these are modified and refined in limited numbers, with guaranteed quality to a certain extent, capable of executing missions, but not yet 100% perfect, with various modifications to be made in the later stages.

And those equipped in large scale, whose performance is not particularly advanced or powerful, but are superior due to mature design, craftsmanship, equipment, and other aspects, allowing for mass production and equipment on a large scale.

Therefore.

When fourth-generation stealth fighters are already widely equipped by the Star Federation and have been involved in multiple actual combats.

Then naturally, the fifth-generation fighters equipped by the 277th Fighter Squadron are also capable of carrying out missions, albeit in extremely limited numbers and with high secrecy levels.

And tonight.

Padding Shayol put the squadron into first-level combat readiness, an unprecedented occurrence.

The last time this squadron was placed on combat readiness, was seven years ago.

They were secretly testing a new type of stealth helicopter at the time.

In order to airdrop special forces and cross the border to assassinate the terrorist leader Ladan.

To achieve a safe and covert operation, current helicopters were simply incapable, and it was even more likely to be exposed using transport aircraft for airdrops due to the massive size of the aircraft, making them difficult to conceal.

The squadron was ordered to participate in that mission, ensuring its success by eliminating Ladan, but it was after all a newly developed stealth helicopter, and the quality was not very reliable.

It was very quiet during the operation, allowing the special forces to infiltrate successfully without noise, but one of them crashed in Ladan’s courtyard due to a sudden malfunction, and they were forced to destroy it.

That mission was the only instance of the 277th Fighter Squadron being put on combat readiness before actual combat.

After that, their real combat missions came without warning.

During stealth fighter testing, they would also enter the airspace of other countries without notice, directly intruding into others’ aerial combat exercise zones, to test whether the opponents’ various radars, optical and infrared sensors, etc., would detect the stealth fighters.

This kind of ’extreme death-defying’ weapon testing, though overbearing and shameless, is also typical ’skilled bravery.’

So tonight, where are they planning to strike?

Upon receiving the ’first-level combat readiness’ mission order, the flight squadron was extremely excited.

Under the night sky.

Within a large enclosed base disguised as an artificial hill, the lights were blazing.

The hill might as well be called a mountain.

Built of reinforced concrete, the thinnest part is over two meters thick, with a multilayer structure that includes steel plating, IR and electromagnetic isolation layers, among others.

Coupled with the soil and trees covering the facade of the fake mountain, any surveillance method known to human civilization to date cannot penetrate and understand what is happening inside the mountain.

The base itself is a highly concentrated aviation factory, equipped with a variety of top-notch devices.

It also has a microwave anechoic chamber, which many countries cannot build due to the high level of difficulty involved. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Creating an electromagnetic signal-free anechoic chamber is not difficult; just cover it with a massive amount of electromagnetic radiation-absorbing materials.

However, the challenge is in being able to simulate various electromagnetic waves of different wavelengths, frequencies, and powers, so as to test the flight vehicles under various shapes, designs, and body materials for their electromagnetic radiation signal characteristics, radar cross-sections, etc.
