Chapter 396: Chapter 198 Thousand Miles Raid_3
Beforehand, Yan Fei had seen pictures of this THAAD System Base on the Internet, so as soon as he saw the situation below, he knew it was the THAAD system deployed by the US in South Korea. Since he had now found the main target of tonight’s mission, Yan Fei no longer hesitated, and he fired an AGM-114 Hellfire missile, aiming for the THAAD missile launch vehicle on the ground.
Because the drone had been flying at an altitude of five meters above the ground and had adopted a hovering mode during the attack, it was silent and went undetected by the US forces on the ground. As a result, the US Forces did not react at all until the AGM-114 Hellfire missile struck the missile launch vehicle.
The AGM-114 Hellfire missile hit its target, causing a violent explosion. Amidst the flames of the blast, the drone suddenly turned and swiftly flew east towards the sea, not continuing its attack on the remaining THAAD missile launch vehicles, the fire control radar, or the command vehicle.
It wasn’t that Yan Fei had failed to notice the other parts of the THAAD System, but because he had suddenly realized that this was a trap. The reason he had only fired a single missile when he attacked the THAAD missile launch vehicle was that he hoped the AGM-114 Hellfire missile would trigger an explosive disintegration within the launch vehicle’s missiles, thereby using the vast force of the disintegration to destroy the entire THAAD base, which would allow him to complete the mission with minimal expenditure.
However, something surprising happened to Yan Fei; the missile launch vehicle that the AGM-114 Hellfire missile had struck did not undergo explosive disintegration. While it did burst into flames, it seemed like a fake target made of wood, and there were no Merit Points transmitted to the Auxiliary Brain for taking out enemy equipment.
After noticing these two discrepancies, Yan Fei realized that the THAAD System on the ground was fake and that the mission to destroy the THAAD System posted by someone pretending to be Chinese on the Dark Web was a trap. The purpose was to lure out the Destroyer and then either take out the Destroyer or capture his amazing airplane. Yan Fei, having been insulted by the South Koreans and acting on impulse coupled with much contemplation, still walked into another’s trap.
Nevertheless, because Yan Fei had quickly deployed the drone after finding the mission on the Dark Web, it took less than 6 hours for him to get from Shanghai to Xingzhou County in South Korea. Moreover, the drone had been traveling at a depth of 600 meters underwater the entire way, completely undetected, so the Destroyer had actually already arrived in South Korea. Therefore, the people who set the trap hadn’t even had time to finish setting it up, and they hadn’t reacted to the drone’s attack on the fake THAAD System on the ground.
Yan Fei had considered the possibility of a trap before departing and had his own follow-up plans, so once he realized it truly was a trap, the drone no longer concealed its trail but instead raced at high speed towards the seashore. However, those who had set up the trap quickly reacted, launching the fastest counter-attack.
In the drone’s Quantum Radar, suddenly over forty missiles appeared, flying in from a distance. Like falling blossoms from the heavens, their flight trajectories locked onto the drone’s every possible evasive maneuver. Yan Fei was worried that these missiles were like the Steel Ball Missiles he encountered over France’s airspace last time and knew that it would be extremely dangerous to let them get close. However, since returning to China from Europe, he had been studying how to counter the enemy’s Steel Ball Missiles and had come up with a tactic that could break through the assault of Steel Ball Missiles.
