"Drop the bombs according to plan..."
The lead pilot of the bomber formation issued the order over the radio. Since green flares had already been fired from the ground, they could easily distinguish friend from foe.
When nothing remained in his downward sights but the area shrouded in darkness, he issued the final order.
All the planes began spreading out as planned.
The pilots had spent a long time preparing for this night bombing mission. More than a month earlier, they had begun repeatedly practicing how to complete every maneuver at night and return safely.
The hardest part of flying at night was being unable to see things on the ground or in the air.
You never knew whether your comrade was two hundred feet away or only two centimeters away. You never knew whether a slight adjustment in direction the next second would ultimately cause a collision.
It was simply too difficult.
Fortunately, there was always a way to overcome difficulties. Humanity had overcome these obstacles and had basically figured out how to carry out missions at night.
The Flight Research Institute had also decided to add Contour Lights to the planes. These Contour Lights used a very special design: the lower half was slightly larger than the luminous section, opaque, and matte.
That way, when viewed from below, the lights could not be seen.
From a relatively level angle, however, the outlines formed by the lights could be seen clearly, making nighttime flight missions easier.
As the formation spread out, the lead pilot gave the order to "drop the bombs." The bomb bay doors opened, and one Cluster Bomb after another was dropped from the planes. The Grim Reaper had arrived! At that moment, the generals of the Maliro warlord coalition directly beneath the bomber formation were eating
