Chapter 3226: The Beast of Kandahar

Coming out of Yinlang's office, Lin Rui and others returned to their residence and gathered together. "Boss, go ahead, the price of this mission is not bad." Sergey whispered, "Isn't it just looking for a drone?"

"I suspect it's not that simple. A drone was captured and the U.S. military was eager to retrieve it. There seems to be no problem, but I always feel that they care more about the information carried by the drone. And we take a step back. Look, who has this technical capability in Africa? Except for the secret agency. The Orumi Federal Army of the secret agency is now the big red in the eyes of the United States. Africa’s anti-terrorist vanguard. At the moment, they don’t have to risk for nothing. Humans and machines, go to offend the Americans. Unless, this unmanned reconnaissance plane photographed something unfavorable to them. That's why they would do it." Lin Rui thought.

"In other words, the Americans are secretly spying on the secret agency's actions?" Sergey whispered.

"That's not necessarily true. From the data point of view, the mission of this drone is to scout the situation in the camps of terrorist organizations in the Sahel. The flight path of the drone is also well-known and does not involve Oulu. The situation of the Mi Federation. Maybe it's something they took a chance to photograph that makes the secret agency feel uneasy." Lin Rui whispered.

"Isn't it just right? What makes the secret society uneasy is definitely not something that is beneficial to them." Sausage replied.

Lin Rui nodded, "Okay, then let's discuss this mission. The RQ-170 Sentinel unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was developed by Lockheed Martin. One type is mainly used to detect and monitor specific targets. Stealth drone, also known as "Kandahar Beast".

As the EP-3E reconnaissance plane made an emergency landing in China after the Sino-US plane collision incident in 2001, the US Department of Defense was determined to develop a stealth drone to prevent secret equipment and crew members from falling into other countries. RQ-170 was born under this background. It was designed by Lockheed Martin’s famous Skunk Factory, and it is similar to some previous stealth drones such as RQ-3 Dark Star, and stealth fighters such as F-117A. There are similarities in design. It adopts a tailless flying wing aerodynamic design and is powered by a turbofan engine. Its appearance resembles the Ho229 fighter jet developed by Germany or a reduced version of the B-2 Ghost strategic bomber currently in service in the US military.

It is estimated that the wingspan of the RQ-170 is about 20 meters. The "RQ" in the code name means that the RQ-170 is a drone that does not carry weapons and is the first drone with a stealth design to be confirmed. The ceiling is between 10,000 meters and 15,000 meters, and the cost is said to be around 30 million. It was deployed in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom, and it was also deployed in Africa during this anti-terrorism operation.

The main mission of the missing drone this time is to reconnaissance the camps of terrorist organizations along the edge of the Sahara Desert and collect enough intelligence for the next counter-terrorism operations. "

"Where is the missing?" Sausage asked.

"In the territory of Genil, a desert area on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, but according to intelligence, there are no active terrorist organizations. This shows that all this is more like an emergency treatment incident. The other party found the drone and immediately Anti-UAV technology is used to induce drones to land by mistake at a certain location through technical means, and immediately send someone to recover them." Lin Rui nodded.

"According to the information, this is a stealth drone, how could it be detected?" Crazy Horse frowned. "Unless they have deployed very high-level radars nearby, it is difficult for even the secret agency to get such things."

"Maybe it's radar, maybe they used other means. We don't need to study and discuss these advanced technical issues. In fact, this stealth unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was discovered and then trapped. From this unmanned aircraft From the time the plane was offline to landing, the location of the drone is here." Lin Rui circled an area on the map.

"What's there?" Yelena frowned.

"The U.S. troops later dispatched several times to investigate this area, but this is a desert and there is nothing." Lin Rui nodded. "But in fact, it takes a process to discover and hijack the drone. In other words, the position before this is probably the key." He repainted an area, which is here.

"We can think of this problem, and the U.S. military can't think of it. They should have checked there too." Sausage nodded.

"Yes, they also investigated it again and found that there is nothing special about it, just a wasteland on the edge of the desert. That's why they let us find out." Lin Rui whispered.

"Aren't they suspicious?" Sergey asked.

"Who do you suspect? There are indeed terrorist activities in this area, but they are all African indigenous armed forces carrying AK47s and bazookas. Some armed elements may not even have heard of drone technology. If you want to hijack the US military by technical means, no one Machine? This is just a joke." Lin Rui shook his head.

"But in fact, this joke has come true." Yelena nodded.

"Yes. That's why the Yankees panicked, and even terrorists can capture their drones. This is a high-end equipment costing tens of millions of dollars, but what kind of aeroplane toy. It was directly captured by the terrorists." Sausage nodded. . "This is going to be made public, and the U.S. military can't afford to lose this person. So they have to investigate, and they have to do a secret investigation."

"The U.S. military has also provided some help this time. This is the result of their satellite photos in recent months." Lin Rui took out a few pictures and said, "We can see that in these areas, there were several The camp. But now it has completely disappeared. So we can tell from these satellite photos that it used to be a mobile camp. There are at least a dozen large vehicles.

These vehicles are concealed and disguised as container vehicles, but when opened they resemble a mobile command center. From the picture we can see these dish antennas and the power supply network formed by these huge solar panels. "

"Mobile command center, this is getting more and more fun." Sergey whispered.

"I have an idea, that is to pass these pictures to Kebain, let him use the computer to judge, recognize the signals of these huge solar panels, and how much electricity they can generate. Then use this to judge what kind of other party is using Equipment." Lin Rui nodded, "According to these vehicles, determine their travel radius and how much they can cover. The resulting area is the area we need to focus on. In addition, Cobain can use satellites for us Reconnaissance support."

"So before we found this unconnected drone, our action was to search and reconnaissance." Crazy Horse nodded, "and once found, it will be a raid."

"Yes." Lin Rui nodded, "The target is this drone and the data files recorded inside the drone."
