Setting Out! The Camel Hump Air Route!
"Stop! Joseph! Are you crazy?"
"Attack the Tibet in the Dragon Country at this time is tantamount to suicide!"
"This plan must be cancelled."
Fulangche rebuked him directly.
Fulangche's initial strategy for Joseph's formation did indeed include a plan to have the formation fly along the Camel Hump Air Route.
Then they assisted the infantry in bombarding the main city.
But plans can't keep up with changes.
Only after actually entering the Himalayan Sacred Mountain did he realize how harsh the environment Sacred Mountain.
The normal flight altitude for an aircraft is between 6,000 and 9,000 meters. Even for fighter jets, the maximum flight altitude is not much higher.
According to Fulangche's observations, the average altitude in the Sacred Mountain area is over 6,000 meters!
In some locations, the altitude even exceeds 8,000 meters!
Flying in such an environment, the aircraft's operational range is extremely limited; a slight miscalculation could result in a crash and loss of life.
In addition, the heavy snowfall, high air pressure, and poor visibility here will further increase the difficulty of flying.
The so-called Camel Hump Air Route actually refers to a route that runs through a mountain pass on the southern slope of the Himalayan Sacred Mountain, which resembles the concave part of a camel's back.
Because the entire route is flanked by rolling mountains, resembling the humps of a camel, it is named the "Camel Hump Air Route".
The altitude here is relatively low.
However, navigating through the towering mountains and relying on driving skills to avoid them makes the task Super Doubling!
With no experience whatsoever, attempting to traverse the Camel Hump Air Route on their first voyage was utterly delusional.
This is pure suicide.
"Joseph, you listen to me!"
"You absolutely cannot take the Camel Hump Air Route. Your next mission is to cooperate with me in the attack on the Sacred Mountain, and you can only operate on the outskirts of the Sacred Mountain! You must..."
Before Fulangche could finish speaking, Joseph interrupted him.
"Father, I can't listen to you this time."
Your offensive plans are outdated.
After saying that, Joseph left the Watch 1 Channel.
Standing in the very center of the Gurkha Air Force Military Base, his expression was resolute.
We really can't delay any longer!
When will we have to wait?
Will the Combined Arms Brigade of the Dragon Country invade Nepal from India Country?
Or should we wait until the entire Dragon Country's army is fully prepared and ready to march on the border?!
This is the last chance, a desperate situation. If we don't give it our all now, we might as well just wait to die.
My father is indeed getting old; from the very beginning of the Instance until now, all his decisions have been wrong.
He sent Dai Le, a Newcomer, to guard the India Country, only to have it swept away by the Dragon Country.
Sending Katerina to split up resulted in Katerina being defeated even faster.
In retrospect, it would be better to do nothing, just assemble the entire army, choose a Spawn Point like the Malaysia, and charge forward.
Even if things were really bad, it wouldn't have come to this.
His father's outdated Land Warfare were no match for the Dragon Country; all their hopes now rested on him.
Because his Air Force is equipped with top-tier Eagle Sauce weaponry! It still has the ability to World War I!
With the Dragon Country Army in India yet to arrive and the Chinese forces in the South Dragon Country South China Sea not yet available to provide support, this is the best time to attack.
Joseph toured the Air Force base and began final preparations for his formation.
1,000 F-18 Hornet Fighter, 2,000 F-22 Raptor Fighter, and 3,000 F-35 Lightning Fighter.
There are also 2,000 E-2 Airborne Early Warning Aircraft and 2,000 B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers.
In addition, there are nearly 400,000 of the Dewoitine D.520 fighter jets designed by the company itself.
This is the last trump card in the Challengers Faction.
"All Challengers Gurkha Air Force Military Base, listen up! Conduct final refueling and preparations, and check your ammunition."
"Then we will cross the Sacred Mountain and directly attack the Tibet."
Fifteen minutes later, 400,000 fighter jets took off and sped toward the entrance to the Camel Hump Air Route.
Piloting the F-22 Raptor Fighter designed by Lin Ye, Joseph had mixed feelings.
You don't know until you compare. After flying this top-of-the-line fighter jet, my own D.520 fighter jet looks like child's Level.
There are actually differences between Aerial Warfare and Land Warfare and Naval Warfare. Although Aerial Warfare also involves some formations, it is generally a contest of weapon quality.
Flying faster, with better concealment, and carrying a larger payload—that's a huge advantage that no amount of tactics can compensate for.
Lin Ye's research on the various performance aspects of fighter jets far surpasses that of myself.
With Dragon Country being so powerful, its Air Force is naturally no less formidable, and its fighter F-22 Raptor Fighter.
So even though we have 400,000 fighter jets, it's simply not enough to fight them.
If they were to encounter the Dragon Country Air Force, the combat space for these D.520 fighter jets would actually be very small.
If the Dragon Country deploys more than 20,000 fighter jets to intercept them, the Challengers will have virtually no chance of winning.
So now we have to gamble! Gamble that there is no Dragon Country Air Force protecting the skies over Tibet, gamble that there is no air defense equipment along this entire flight path.
Only by creating a time difference can one have a chance to turn the tide.
Therefore, his attack speed must be fast!
As the Challengers fleet approached the pass of the Himalayan Sacred Mountain, Joseph gave a stubborn order.
"All fighter jets, listen up! Cross the Himalayan Sacred Mountain at Mach 1!"
When this order was issued, many drivers were stunned and began repeatedly confirming it on their communication devices.
"Commander Joseph, are you sure you want to cross the Sacred Mountain at Mach 1?"
"Based on the data previously provided by Firmament, the air pressure and altitude of the Himalayan Sacred Mountain are insufficient to support such a flight speed."
"Commander... I've never flown in such harsh conditions before; this speed will cause an accident."
"I think we'd be lucky to reach a speed of 500 kilometers per hour."
"Please reconsider, Commander."
Mach 1 is indeed not much for a fighter jet.
Even civilian passenger aircraft can reach speeds of Mach 1.
F-22 Raptor Fighter can easily reach an average flight speed of Mach 2.5.
But don't forget, this is navigating through mountainous terrain; they haven't even figured out the route yet.
Flying at Mach 1 is practically suicide!
"No! It has to be Mach 1!"
Joseph said resolutely.
