My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1199 - 1094: The Fierce Dragon Strikes!

The Dragon takes off, heading straight into the vast sky.

As an indigenously developed fourth-generation stealth fighter, you get what you pay for.

Upon receiving orders for urgent takeoff, it climbed rapidly to an altitude of ten kilometers in less than a minute.

Meanwhile, the full-situation awareness system is activated.

Stealth fighters do not easily switch on their onboard radar to avoid exposing their location.

Under normal circumstances, they use various high-sensitivity sensors scattered across the fuselage to obtain situational awareness of the airspace.

Of course.

The situation today is unique.

The Over-the-horizon Ground Wave Radar, still in its equipment testing phase, has continuously tracked and detected two high-speed, high-altitude targets that have illegally entered the airspace.

The performance of this radar is not 100% reliable; it could misreport targets, and the two third-generation light air defense fighters that urgently took to the sky earlier failed to detect them despite their best efforts and couldn’t catch up, even risking their lives.

So...

Is it the new radar’s false alarm, or are there genuinely unidentified flying objects about to intrude?

All of this can only be verified by the new model heavy air dominance fighter code-named ’Dragon’.

In today’s pursuit of stealth in military equipment, third-generation fighters are indeed thoroughly outdated in every aspect.

There might not be a significant gap in maneuverability, onboard equipment, and the likes, but in terms of stealth... the gap is huge.

Even during internal adversarial training exercises, when third-gen fighters face off against fourth-gen fighters, the latter brutally dominate every time.

It’s like a contest between two boxers of notably different strengths; the third-generation fighter is highly nearsighted, while the fourth-generation fighter has keen hearing, sharp eyes, and reacts extremely fast. In such a match-up, is there even a need to discuss the outcome?

Since third-generation fighters can neither see nor catch up when they are in the air, naturally it’s time to switch to fourth-generation fighters.

Whirring~

The stealth fighter that earned the ’Dragon’ codename indeed boasts superior performance.

It roars into the sky, shooting straight into the clouds.

Tumbling and swiftly turning, agile as a Dragon.

Targets that even third-generation fighters with active phased array radars turned on can’t detect.

As soon as the fourth-gen gets up there, it captures suspicious signals through situational awareness.

Coupling the positioning data provided by the Over-the-horizon Ground Wave Radar, two stealth fighters race towards the targets like lightning.

Accompanied by back-to-back sonic booms, the stealth fighters effortlessly break the sound barrier.

As the engines continue to increase thrust, the speed gets faster and faster.

One Mach! Two Mach! Three Mach!

At a speed of Mach 3, the stealth fighters are still relatively at ease while fervently pursuing the two suspicious targets.

However, earlier...

The two third-generation light air defense fighters were already struggling when nearing Mach 2.

Under the intense air pressure, the fuselage was subject to unprecedented torture.

And the engines, sounding as if they were about to explode, experienced continuous tremors.

This led to a situation where the fighters seemed as though they would burst apart in the air and disintegrate, making the pilots feel as if they could lose control at any moment.

Whereas the Dragon Stealth Fighter eases into triple the speed of sound, blazing forward steadily and unwaveringly.

What does Mach 3 signify?

It means a kilometer per second!

In an hour, that’s over three thousand kilometers.

And more importantly, it means getting closer and closer to those two suspicious targets.

After all, their speed is also up to Mach 3.

As the distance between them narrows, the fifth-generation Vulture Fighters, naturally the first to spot the approaching high-altitude, high-speed targets with extremely low radar signatures that are hard to track stably.

Without guessing, it’s clear that the Dragon, the world’s second officially commissioned stealth fighter, is coming.

In the high-end tech domain, the more cutting-edge it is, the fewer the opponents.

Many countries can manufacture second-gen fighters, very few can produce third-gen, and when it comes to fourth-gen... only two countries in the world so far.

And the Vulture Fighter, a pioneer among fifth-gen fighters, naturally uses more advanced technology, design, and equipment.

So after detecting the Dragon Stealth Fighter first, the pilots quickly become uneasy.

No one knows exactly how capable the Dragon is; since the opponent has repeatedly detected them, then...

Is there any need to cross the border?

The two Vulture Fighter pilots quickly implement the backup plan, slowing down and banking!

Whooosh~

The two Vulture Fighters almost graze the border as they pass by.

This is not only a display of audacity and skill but also a reckless probe at the edge of danger.

And this maneuver by the Vulture Fighters immediately triggers a chain reaction.

The experimental team operating the Over-the-horizon Ground Wave Radar notices the two flight targets making high-altitude sharp turns, not immediately moving away but rather skirting the border line.

It seems they’re continuing to accelerate, flying faster and faster.

Mach 3, huh!

And they still manage to pick up speed; what on earth are these flying objects?

Unmanned aerial vehicles? Cruise missiles?

No matter what they are, at the rate they’re going, another minute of flight will take them beyond the Over-the-horizon Ground Wave Radar’s detection range.

What to do?

Without the Over-the-horizon Ground Wave Radar to guide them to the target, can the Dragon Stealth Fighter keep up?

Can it continue to track and accurately detect the targets?

The situation has complicated.

The Over-the-horizon Ground Wave Radar detected the targets, and the Dragon Stealth Fighter also identified the suspicious targets through situational awareness.

The foes, advanced in capabilities, keep loitering near the border line.

Not to drive them off, they will continue to lurk like phantoms, and it’s uncertain when they might suddenly cross the border.

And if not to chase them away, the Dragon must continue surveillance, just to be safe.

But with a clear performance gap and quality not matching up, the only choice is to rely on quantity.

Lining up for relay, taking turns on watch.

Dare to cross the border, and they’ll be killed...
