abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, whoever possesses more advanced radar, better stealth capabilities, and longer-range missile launch capabilities,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>holds the decisive advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is even more laughable is that although the Typhoon fighter can reach a maximum speed of 2 Mach,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its actual service ceiling is only 16,765 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the F-22, which can climb to 20,000 meters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they are simply little brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, knowing all this, the John Bull soldiers still had to obey orders and sortie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rushed into the sky without even having time to write last wills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome was naturally obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These twenty fighter jets played absolutely no role on the battlefield;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were locked onto by the radar of PL-21 air-to-air missiles before they could do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the eyes of those surviving naval soldiers, these aircraft turned into bursts of fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, the radars on these planes never detected the enemy aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the air battle over Syria that day unveiled the prologue of modern air combat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then this scene right now\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>truly made every nation understand that only fifth-generation fighters can engage other fifth-generation fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even fourth-and-a-half generation fighters hold no advantage whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this shocking scene via the live broadcast, President Xiao Ao in the White House finally felt it firsthand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the helplessness and despair experienced by the F-18 pilots during the Syria air battle that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has now decided to restart the F-22 production line and carry out a comprehensive overhaul of the F-22,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>transforming it into a beyond-visual-range fighter comparable to the J-20 in various performance metrics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out the fighter jets was merely an appetizer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes after the battle began, once the John Bull air defense firepower was basically silenced,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>some survivors finally saw what was attacking them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a massive formation of fighter jets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more horrifying was that all these fighters were heavy stealth aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire radar system of John Bull currently had nearly zero detection capability against such aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether millimeter-wave or decimeter-wave radar, it was extremely difficult to detect stealth fighters with a head-on RCS value of 0.01 square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the most despairing sight came soon after, as they watched colossal behemoths tear through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, those behemoths began opening their weapon bays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, rows of pitch-black missiles fell from above like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, the surviving naval soldiers were completely terrified into stupor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even forgot to flee for their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The B-2 heavy stealth bomber is the world's only stealth bomber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its payload capacity reaches as high as 22 tons,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and this heavily modified B-2S version boasts a maximum payload of up to 32 tons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bombers were equipped differently depending on their missions, carrying various types of ammunition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At maximum, they could carry sixteen B-83 nuclear bombs and sixteen MK84 conventional bombs, with a cruise speed of 0.8 Mach, a service ceiling of 19,240 meters, a range of 11,675 kilometers, and a range exceeding 18,500 kilometers after one mid-air refueling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Block 20 variant could carry up to sixteen B-61 nuclear bombs, possessed the capability to carry stand-off land-attack missiles, could also carry thirty-six cluster bombs and sixteen GPS-guided bombs, and featured certain automated mission-completion capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, two aircraft carried one hundred MK80 bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another two carried thirty-six cluster bombs and sixteen guided-assist bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the last two carried sixteen MK84 conventional bombs and thirty-six M117 bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When so many bombs fell upon the John Bull naval base like a rain of projectiles,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the entire base, including the sea surface, was instantly engulfed in explosions so dense they were unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many naval soldiers fleeing for their lives were swallowed by the pursuing flames in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the ships in the base,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>under the bombardment of such heavy bombs, there was no possibility of survival; they sank one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, which received special attention,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>under the combined assault of J-20s, F-22s, and B-2 bombers, lasted less than twenty seconds\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>before emitting the sound of tearing steel and rapidly sinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the audience in Longguo watched this scene through the live streaming platform,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the people of John Bull were naturally furious to the point of bursting eyeballs; they hated the attackers immensely, and many watched in disbelief as their newly built\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>aircraft carrier, which had only just completed its maiden sea trial, sank just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, many John Bull people, alongside their anger, wore dazed expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not believe this was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it was not just the aircraft carrier; the entire Portsmouth Harbor base, under the attack of the B-2 bombers, looked as if it had been plowed over by bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were all surface vessels wiped out, but the entire base also turned into ruins in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the terrifying power of heavy bombers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, as the whole world watched this scene via the live broadcast, everything fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(PS: This new book needs flowers, tips, and review tickets; your support is the author's motivation!)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Many people were seeing for the first time what it truly looked like when an aircraft carrier sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That steel behemoth was slowly swallowed by the seawater, bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer shock of it was something no special effects in a Hollywood movie could ever compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the aircraft carrier's hull fracture under the bombardment of countless missiles and bombs, as massive amounts of seawater rushed in,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and finally seeing the HMS Queen Elizabeth sink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire world fell into complete silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the French Prime Minister, whose domestic situation was in total chaos, stood stunned for a moment before murmuring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems we need to reconsider our relationship with Dragon Country!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The German Chancellor stated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is time to pay another visit to China!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, back home, due to an eight-hour time difference,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was currently 3 AM in Dragon Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even at this hour, people who had already gone to sleep were waking up one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights in countless households, which had already been extinguished, began to flicker on again, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many ordinary people, even if they stayed awake all night and faced scolding from their bosses tomorrow,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were determined to watch this live broadcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because for many people in Dragon Country, the official live stream on the DWS platform was exactly what they had been anticipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They enjoyed the DWS platform's tough stance toward foreign nations and loved watching them drag the dignity of certain countries through the mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, whenever an official live broadcast appeared, it absolutely signaled a major event affecting the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the people of Dragon Country wanted to know what the content of this particular broadcast was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, many witnessed the combined combat power of the J-20 fighter group and the F-22 fighter group working in coordination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw how the terrifying B-2 bombers leveled the Portsmouth Harbor base to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might not have known initially what kind of base this was, but with a quick search on Baidu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>most people in Dragon Country learned that this base was John Bull's largest naval port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It housed more than sixty percent of their warships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This even included John Bull's sole aircraft carrier, the HMS Queen Elizabeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This carrier had originally been scheduled to depart at 10 AM that morning heading for the Red Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>",1251,"2026-06-16T04:16:39.910Z","2026-06-16T04:35:04.683Z",1,"Qwen3.5
