Chapter 167

Wreckage was scattered everywhere.

This air force base was not without the Israeli "Iron Dome" air defense system, which had spawned legends.

However, whether it was the most advanced "Iron Dome" air defense system, or the "David's Sling" and "Arrow" series of anti-missile systems,

they all shared an inherent flaw: limited range.

Even the most advanced "Iron Dome" system had a maximum range of only 70 kilometers and a speed of just Mach 2.2.

Against missiles or aircraft with longer ranges and higher speeds, it was powerless.

Coupled with the F-22's stealth capabilities in the dead of night,

even now, the Hatzor Air Base had no idea how many aircraft were attacking.

After about ten minutes, Lin Yi had plowed through the entire air base.

Every protruding structure on the ground had turned into raging flames.

Across the entire base, the ground was littered with numerous aircraft wreckage and horizontal debris.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi finally maneuvered his aircraft away from the base.

Only after the entire air base was bombed beyond recognition did the survivors dare to emerge.

They saw only the tragic state of the base, with corpses lying everywhere.

These people were filled with immense anger, yet utterly helpless.

Whenever the Palestinians suffered Israeli air strikes,

this was likely the same mix of anger, sorrow, and helplessness they felt.

One could only say that the tables had now turned.

When the Israeli Prime Minister received news that the Hatzor Air Base was destroyed and nine out of ten aircraft within it were lost,

he nearly blacked out and fainted.

It must be known that since the founding of Israel until now,

they had never suffered such a crushing defeat; not only was an entire air wing slaughtered,

but now even an air force base had been attacked.

Casualties within the entire air base, including pilots, were severe.

"Retaliation! We must retaliate! Damn DWS!"

The Israeli Prime Minister was now blinded by rage.

Not only him; upon hearing this news,

the Israeli generals were also blinded by anger, with only two words echoing in their minds: "Retaliation."

It must be known that in recent decades, with the support of the United States, Israel had become the little hegemon of the Middle East.

They had always been the ones bullying others.

When had they ever been bullied by others?

Only this time had the DWS attack truly enraged the Israeli government and military.

Although there were still some clear-headed individuals within Israel,

these people were utterly unable to stop the enraged generals.

Thus, these people began issuing orders.

They would assemble over a hundred Israeli fighter jets to fight the enemy to the death.

Simultaneously, the Israeli Prime Minister urgently contacted the US President.

He hoped to gain support from the US air base in Saudi Arabia.

President Xiao Ao was currently bearing accusations of "incompetence" and being the "worst president in history" from within his own country.

Upon hearing that Israel was suffering attacks from the DWS platform,

although he was shocked,

initially, upon hearing the details, he had intended to refuse the Israeli Prime Minister's request.

But upon learning that the opponent was using US F-22s and China's J-20s,

President Xiao Ao began to form an idea.

In his view, if they could destroy the DWS platform's aircraft this time,

it might just slightly wipe away the humiliation of the previous Syria air battle.

However, President Xiao Ao also understood

that the only aircraft in the US capable of defeating the F-22 Raptor was the F-22 Raptor itself.

But despite the US possessing over 180 Raptors, due to having too many bases worldwide,

the number that could be dispatched to the Middle East was small.

Furthermore, the F-22 Raptor production line had long been sealed.

The three F-22 fighters lost in the previous Syria battlefield could not even be replenished.

Now, wanting to dispatch more to Israel, the available quantity was truly meager.

At most two aircraft; this was already the limit for the United States.

However, although there were only two, President Xiao Ao remained very confident in his own pilots.

As for the previous Syria air battle, that was entirely due to the J-20 fighters employing despicable tactics.

If the fighter jets engaged in a "dogfight,"

with the F-22's high-performance maneuverability, it could completely beat the J-20 until it cried for its mother.

Thus, after consulting with the Pentagon,

the United States urgently scrambled two F-22 fighters from the Saudi base.

At this moment, Lin Yi remained unaware that Israel was preparing a desperate gambit to trap him here.

It was retaliation for his attack on the US Air Force base.

After flying all this way, he had already arrived at another Israeli Air Force base: Ramat David.

This was a major US Air Force base,

and within its confines, besides F-16 fighter jets, there was also a batch of highly advanced armed helicopters.

However, just as he prepared to wipe out Israel's seven major military bases in a single night,

he noticed his fighter's radar system displaying countless aircraft converging on his position.

Perhaps because he had attacked the Ramat David Air Force Base,

these fighter jets were now able to locate him.

Lin Yi looked at the quantity displayed on the instrument panel screen; even he felt somewhat shocked.

This was clearly a case of making up for poor quality with sheer numbers.

However, Lin Yi felt that Israel had miscalculated.

These fighter jets couldn't even detect him; Lin Yi wondered where they got the confidence to come here just to die.

Could it be that those high-ranking Israeli military officials planned to exhaust his ammunition with waves of aircraft?

To wear him down? If that was the case,

Lin Yi could only say these people were being far too naive.

Thus, he stopped paying attention to the Ramat David Air Force Base, pulled back on the stick, and executed an "Immelmann" tactical maneuver,

then turned directly toward the hundred-plus enemy aircraft.

He possessed the spirit of one who advances even against ten thousand foes.

Once within effective range, Lin Yi increasingly felt like he was playing the game "Galaga."

Those Israeli fighter jets were arranged in such neat formations,

as if beckoning him: "Come hit me! Come hit me!"

Meanwhile, on his side, the opposing radar systems could not detect the F-22 in its stealth mode at all.

So, Lin Yi began frantically pressing buttons.

Immediately, AIM-120C air-to-air missiles, one after another,

streaked through the sky like a rain of bullets, transforming into trails of light as they shot into the distance.

Of course, Lin Yi's overseas assets were also plummeting at a rate of $200,000 per shot.

However, thanks to the system's ammunition replenishment,

his single fighter jet wielded power comparable to a squadron of about twenty aircraft.

At this moment, over a hundred kilometers away,
