This fighter jet was the F-22 Raptor piloted by Lin Yi this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although its instrument panel differed from that of the J-20,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for him, who had long mastered this aircraft, it meant nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The F-22 Raptor flown by Lin Yi this time carried four AIM-120C medium-range air-to-air missiles and two JDAM air-to-ground bombs in its main weapons bay,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>plus four additional AIM-120C missiles mounted on external wing pylons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the two side bays carried one AIM-9X short-range dogfighting missile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which completed the armament loadout of this F-22 Raptor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the F-22 Raptor's performance in beyond-visual-range combat was far inferior to that of the J-20,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its onboard radar system still surpassed other aircraft models in the U.S. military.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The AIM-120C medium-range air-to-air missile was the latest model developed by the U.S. Raytheon Company and Raytheon Missiles & Defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transliterated as the AMRAAM missile, it is an active radar-guided air-to-air missile currently in service with the U.S. military,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and also the fourth-generation air-to-air missile following the U.S. military's AIM-7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This missile has a maximum range of 100 kilometers, a minimum range of five kilometers, and a maximum speed of Mach 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although its overall performance was weaker than the PL-21 missile developed specifically for beyond-visual-range combat by the Dragon Nation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the AIM-120C remained one of the world's most advanced active radar-guided fourth-generation missiles in the medium-range category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, by adopting a more advanced two-stage thrust high-total-impulse solid rocket motor, the attack range of the 420 could reach 180 kilometers while maintaining excellent stealth characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, by employing high-performance explosives, pre-fragmented warheads, and active radio-frequency proximity fuses coordinated with a high-precision guidance system, this missile delivered greater destructive power against targets than the previous-generation AIM-7M missile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the AIM-120's adoption of a composite guidance method significantly enhanced its combat performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the F-22 Raptor fighter jet sped toward the Gaza region like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at this very moment, the \"Phalcon,\" Israel's so-called world's most advanced airborne early warning aircraft and the globe's first to utilize phased-array radar, detected absolutely nothing unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although this early warning aircraft possesses excellent detection range and tracking performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Equipped with a phased array radar, its detection range reaches up to 800 kilometers, far exceeding that of similar early warning aircraft, making its performance outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, it can secure greater air superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more astonishingly, the \"Phalcon\" not only boasts powerful detection capabilities but can also simultaneously track 250 targets within a short period;

the only normal entry and exit point for Gaza is the Egyptian border crossing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, twenty fighter jets bombing Gaza can only be described as a massacre of civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Israel's intention is obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is to make the Hamas fighters on the front lines hesitate, thereby slowing their offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, many of these fighters have family and friends here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the continuous bombing is causing a severe humanitarian catastrophe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large numbers of Batan civilians are being killed and injured by the explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is because the crazy Israelis are adopting an indiscriminate attack method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they deem a location suspicious, they can open fire at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They do not care at all whether civilians live inside those places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to now, at least thousands of Batan people have lost their lives due to the bombing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them are elderly people and children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, as missile after missile shot out, tremendous \"boom, boom, boom\" explosion sounds immediately rang out across the Gaza region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balls of fire accompanied by black smoke rose up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, go to hell, you Batan trash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Israeli pilots, watching the balls of fire and the people fleeing in panic, felt extremely delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had completely degenerated into beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, inside a civilian house in Batan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A five-year-old girl named Dalen widened her eyes in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were in Longguo, at such an Stone Stone Stone Stone Age she should be lying in her parents' arms acting spoiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching cheerful cartoons and eating exquisite food prepared by her grandparents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dalen cannot obtain any of these;
