On the other side, in the hangar.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Remove the electronic pod first! We are very tight on time, we can dismantle as much as we can!"
"Never mind that bullshit radar, our radar is better than theirs!"
"I just want the electronic jamming pod, where are the experts? Xu Changsheng! Are your equipment ready?"
"Okay, okay, you can check it immediately after taking it apart, but don't expect too much. Their system is encrypted, and we can't crack much!"
"As much as you want, we only have two hours!"
Surrounded by hundreds of staff, the EA-6B's electronic jamming pod was dismantled into a pile of parts almost instantly. Then, various technicians who had been prepared began to analyze these parts. Parts are inspected and photographed.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement, because they knew that this thing was really a big surprise for them.
What's this?
Currently the world's most powerful electronic jamming fighter, EA-6B!
Although it is not an advanced fighter equipped with missiles and weapons, its aggressiveness is definitely not weaker than any fighter in the world.
Just three of them are enough to paralyze an entire country's communication system, causing military command and radar monitoring to completely fail.
But now, there are four in front of them.
It would be nice if they could all stay...
But this is impossible.
The only thing they can do is to take pictures of the details of the parts as much as possible, figure out the purpose of the parts, and then try to replicate them in their own laboratories.
The non-stop disassembly and maintenance lasted for a full two hours, and when all the work was completed, they immediately began to restore the pod.
——
However, it is much harder to restore something than to take it apart.
Even though they tried their best, their progress was still ridiculously slow.
At this rate, there is absolutely no way they can restore everything to their original state before the two sides complete negotiations.
etc.
Why restore the status quo ante?
Why bother?
Thinking of this, the commander-in-chief in charge of on-site work waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry so much, just pretend as you like!"
"As long as the shell is installed, it will be fine, we don't need to worry about anything else!"
…
at the same time.
Leon slapped the table angrily, while Hook opposite him lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to speak.
"Hook, tell me, where is our plane?!"
"My 4 EA-6Bs! Where have they gone?!"
"Didn't you say it was foolproof? Didn't you say that four jammers were enough to paralyze all their communications and radars?"
"Now tell me, how did they escape?"
"Tell me why our plane appears at their airport!"
"Also, why is their J-22 not interfered by us??"
After hearing his words, Hook sighed slightly and replied:
"I really didn't expect that aircraft to be so resistant to interference...but, more importantly, its radar system was much stronger than we expected."
"According to the current situation, it should not be an ordinary phased array radar at all, but rather... a digital array radar."
"If that's the case, we're in big trouble."
"Its perception capabilities are far greater than any of our current fighter jets, and when he attacks, we can't even see him."
"Moreover, its stealth capabilities are also exaggerated. We could clearly detect it before launching an attack, but in just a moment, it disappeared from the radar screen."
"I suspect that this kind of stealth capability even exceeds that of our own F-22. The other party's stealth coating technology is stronger than ours..."
"I don't want to hear so many reasons!"
Leon interrupted him petulantly.
At this moment, the anger in his heart had almost reached its peak.
It was obvious that he had made a complete plan, and it was obvious that he was going to use this joint exercise to inflict a heavy blow on the opponent.
Both in terms of confidence and internal unity.
Everything went smoothly, and their ridiculous equipment looked like children's toys in front of me.
Under the control of the media, the entire international public opinion also ridiculed them.
But suddenly, the situation was reversed.
Four EA-6Bs were captured without any losses.
Now, they have probably locked up their own pilots and interrogated them separately, and pried out an unknown amount of detailed information from their mouths.
And those EA-6Bs have probably been dismantled into parts, right?
This is a huge shame, and it is not just a shame.
If Guolou's strategy was messed up by him, then his future...
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, managed to calm down and continued:
"What happened has happened and I am no longer pursuing any previous issues."
"I just need you to tell me the best way to deal with it."
Burke's brows wrinkled slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he replied:
"There is no other way but to contact them proactively."
"And we must not reveal any hostility."
"You have to remember that this is just a stray incident caused by an exercise accident, and the interference caused to them is just an accident."
"Even more, we want to thank them - for allowing us to land."
Leon's expression suddenly changed. He clenched his fist tightly, but in the end, he loosened it weakly.
…
An hour later, representatives from both sides finally got on the phone.
With the help of simultaneous interpretation, this communication was extremely easy and enjoyable.
Of course, only one party is happy.
Subsequently, after both parties reached a consensus, a public press conference was held to explain the incident.
At the press conference, Lin Changhai sat upright, trying hard to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, and said seriously:
"Yesterday, June 26, a stray incident occurred over a certain sea area."
"The aircraft involved lost its correct course due to weather, electromagnetic interference and other reasons and entered our exercise area."
"After emergency response, we confirmed the identity of the plane and reached effective communication."
"Subsequently, with the cooperation of both parties, the aircraft involved was guided by the ground and landed at one of our airports."
"After landing, we gave the pilot a warm reception and, in accordance with international practice, conducted safe, limited, and professional routine inspections of the aircraft to eliminate relevant risks."
"This incident demonstrated the extremely high quality of the pilots on both sides and consolidated the historical friendship between us. After being properly handled, the aircraft and pilot involved have taken off and returned."
"Unfortunately, due to problems in the details of cooperation between the two parties, all four aircraft suffered mechanical damage to varying degrees."
"We look forward to further communication and cooperation with each other to eliminate differences so that we can handle such accidents more properly..."
…
Watching the news on TV, Leon's face turned pale.
Especially when he heard the words "land on his own", his heartbeat almost stopped out of anger.
He turned to Hook aside and said:
"These sons of bitches, they still don't admit what they did!"
Hook nodded helplessly and replied:
"Yes...but what can we do?"
"We didn't record anything - in other words, we didn't see it."
"Didn't see it? Then tell us, why were we locked by the fire control radar? Why were our pilots forced to land? If not them, who else could it be?"
Seeing Leon's slightly hysterical expression, Hook became more and more calm.
He looked away and said softly:
"Who knows?"
"Maybe... it's a UFO?"
