Chapter 351: Chapter 182: Novel Tactics_2

But something Yan Fei hadn’t anticipated happened: the six Patriot-3 anti-aircraft missiles, just as they were about to enter the drone’s naval cannon range, were detonated by personnel in the rear. Bright sparks appeared in the night sky, followed by the chaotic flying of missile wreckage everywhere.

Yan Fei was startled and the 30-millimeter naval cannon on the drone, which was ready to fire, couldn’t shoot. He had no idea what was happening. The Patriot-3 anti-aircraft missiles hadn’t even attacked the drone yet, so why had the personnel in the rear detonated them?

As Yan Fei was still in shock, the Quantum Radar emitted a piercing alarm, detecting a large number of tiny, high-speed items approaching. These items weren’t large and were shaped like spheres, resembling the steel ball bullets that the drone had once used. These steel ball bullets came flying out from the wreckage of the just-detonated Patriot-3 anti-aircraft missiles. Their numbers were vast and their speed extreme, flying towards him like a swarm, leaving no chance to dodge.

A multitude of steel ball bullets flew towards the drone from all directions, their numbers even denser than the anti-aircraft fire previously launched by the French Air Defense Troops. No matter how the drone dodged, it couldn’t completely avoid the steel ball bullets.

In just an instant, the drone’s body was pelted with a myriad of steel ball bullets. Sitting in the cockpit, Yan Fei heard a sound like raindrops, “pang, pang, pang,” as the steel balls struck the drone’s body. The drone’s body was extremely sturdy and wasn’t penetrated by the steel ball bullets, but the high-speed attack still caused some damage, resulting in some dents and bumps on the body.

As the steel ball bullets hit the drone’s body, Yan Fei, who was closely connected to the drone, felt as if he were being hit as well. A tiny steel ball bullet’s impact was nothing to worry about for him, but facing tens of thousands of such attacks, even with Yan Fei’s strong spirit, was almost too much to bear. Then, Yan Fei’s body began to instinctively evade, and the Drone Avatar rolled with Yan Fei’s own tumbling until the steel ball bullet attack ended and the drone returned to normal flight.

After this wave of attacks, Yan Fei finally realized what was happening. His enemies had somehow found a way to deal with the drone by detonating specially modified anti-aircraft missiles, scattering a large number of steel ball bullets across a wide airspace, damaging the drone with the kinetic energy of the ejected bullets. And this method had worked perfectly; Yan Fei had no means to counter this widespread steel ball bullet attack.

Actually, attacking the drone’s body wasn’t the correct use for these steel ball bullets; their real purpose was to approach the drone amidst the chaos, enter the drone’s air intake, and from there make their way into the engine, destroying it and forcing the drone to land for capture by US Forces. This was the true lethal aspect of the steel ball bullets, but the US Forces miscalculated again. Not even Yan Fei himself knew where the drone’s power came from, nor where the engine was located. Although the drone resembled the F-15, those two air intakes were just for show and served no purpose. Therefore, no matter how many steel balls filled the air, they couldn’t enter and damage the drone’s interior.

While the drone was under attack by the steel ball bullets, the air-to-air missile it had previously launched, guided by the Quantum Radar, finally caught up to the fleeing E-3 Sentry AWACS. In the eyes of the AWACS pilot, filled with despair, the missile struck the early warning aircraft, creating a fiery blossom in the air. It was the first time a US early warning aircraft had been downed in combat, and the first time casualties occurred among their pilots.

When Yan Fei recovered from the pain that enveloped his body, the drone immediately fired two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles towards the ground-based Patriot-3 anti-aircraft missile position. Without waiting for the results of the missile attack, the drone started to rapidly flee the area. The enemy had found a way to counter the drone, and if it stayed any longer, it would likely encounter more steel ball bullet attacks. Given the drone’s body’s sturdiness, tens of thousands of steel ball bullet attacks could still cause significant damage. Moreover, the pain suffered by the drone would transfer to Yan Fei, and if he endured many more steel ball bullet attacks, he might just be tormented into foolishness.

As the two missiles fired by the drone were nearing the ground-based air defense position, they were destroyed by anti-aircraft missiles fired from the position. Seeing that he couldn’t destroy the air defense position in a short time, Yan Fei didn’t waste any more ammunition and instead moved at full speed, ready to leave the area.

The drone’s irregular patterns were detected by the ground radar, and Bolton and Robin, seeing the initial success of their “Clip the Wings” operation, were thrilled and swiftly moved on to the next step in their battle commands.

The drone had fled for its life from Paris downtown, and now it was only thirty kilometers from the French coast. Then the drone spotted six anti-aircraft missiles approaching from the distant sea surface, and the ground-based air defense position behind it launched another six Patriot-3 anti-aircraft missiles. The twelve missiles, traveling at five times the speed of sound, began to encircle the drone.
