85 kilometers above the northern part of Soyangsan Mountain (Limenmin) in Namgang River, Bukmanju

When 24 CF-21P fighter jets from the 16th Fighter Wing's 115th Fighter Squadron approached within 300 kilometers of the enemy fighter at a hypersonic speed of Mach 8, the squadron commander issued orders to each squadron.

"Black Rose, North Point, 24 Su-57 Parkpa, 24 Su-34 Fallback! Check! Check! Each squadron marches in unison! Cobra One is on standby for each target!"

"Sunflower, copy."

"White Crimsom, copy."

"Marigolds, copy."

"Windflower, copy."

"Morning Glory, copy"

The squadrons immediately responded to their commander's orders.

"Each squadron, shoot!"

When the final firing order was issued, each squadron shouted, "Fox Three" and pressed the launch button.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

48 S-AAM-500 Cobra missiles with a range of 500 kilometers sprouted from the internal armament chamber and flew forward, leaving blue flames behind. They then quickly accelerated to Mach 20 and vanished beyond the clouds.

Meanwhile, the Su-34 Fallback fighters, which arrived 50 kilometers north of Khabarovsk, were escorted by the Su-57 Parkpa fighters and gradually attempted to launch attacks against the South Korean armored troops.

Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep!

However, the Russian pilots were immediately taken aback by the sudden sound of a radar warning receiver (RWR), and instinctively pulled the control lever and began an evasive maneuver.

The fifth-generation Su-57 Parkpa fighters, which were advertised as having greater stealth performance than the US F-22 Raptor, were on an escorting mission when they were attacked by an unknown, undetected radar. As a result, they too executed an evasive maneuver.

Victor Anovka, the squadron commander of the Su-57 Parkpa fighter unit, responded by yelling at the A-50 Aerial Early Warning Control Unit that had been transmitting the information from the rear.

"This is Anovka, the squadron commander. Where are the missiles coming from? What the hell are you guys doing?"

Squadron commander, Viktor Anovka, who scolded the radar detector operator of the A-50 Aerial Early Warning Control Unit, received an absurd reply.

"This is N1B-1 Aerial Early Warning Control! Currently, no enemy aircraft are detected by radar. Repeat. Currently, no enemy aircraft are detected by radar."

"What kind of missiles are they?"

"It appeared unexpectedly at an azimuth of 1-8-5 and a distance of 455. For the time being, just concentrate on avoiding and I'll do my best to detect it as soon as possible."

"Oh, my! I didn't contact you to hear that."

The RWR (Radar Warning Receiver) warning sound continued to beep in the control room.

The squadron commander, Viktor Anovka, who was unable to obtain much information, bit his lower lip and looked out at the dark clouds.

Swooshh!

Kwaaaaang!

He wondered if something was flashing between the clouds, and soon after, Lieutenant Viktor Anovka's aircraft exploded, split in two, and crashed to the ground and erupted in dark red flames.

kururururururu~

The S-AAM-500 Cobra missiles, which reached a distance of 300 kilometers in 44 seconds, targeted the two fighter jets that were trying to evade them by spraying chaff and flares.

The explosions of the Russian fighter jets continued, exploding everywhere in the dark sky like fireworks.

All the 24 Su-34 Fallback fighters were shot down and only 11 Su-57 Parkpa fighters survived.

The 11 Su-57 Parkpa fighters that survived were unable to detect any information about the enemy fighters and had to circle the surrounding area while waiting for the detection information to be linked from the A-50 Aerial Early Warning Controller.

Usually, in this situation, they would return to the base right away. However, possibly due to their unique Russian grit, the surviving Parkpa pilots wanted revenge. Moreover, the 3rd Air Force Command requested another fighter sortie.

As a result, 24 Mig-29A/C Fulcrum fighters, 48 Mig-37 MFI Siberian fighters, and two A-50 aerial warning controls were launched as well.

The Mig-37 MFI Siberian fighter is a fifth-generation twin-engine single-left fighter with a top speed of Mach 2.6. It performs long-distance strategic bombing missions along with intercepting missions.

Russia launched the initiative in 1981 in response to the American Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) plan, and it was completed in 1986 under the MFI plan. From early 1994 to December, Mapo MiG was in charge of development, producing two prototypes Mig-1.44s and conducting high-speed glide tests. However, development was halted in 1995 due to a lack of funds and the Russian Ministry of Defense canceled the MFI plan in March 1997.

A couple of years later, on January 12, 1999, Mapo MiG first revealed the Mig-1.44 to Russian military generals, foreign officials, and the media at the Zhukovsky Air Test Center near Moscow to attract the attention of the government. However, even though the first flight was successful on May 29, business stalled because it was too expensive to attract the attention of the Russian government and foreign countries. As time went on and the Russian economy improved, Mapo MiG had begun to develop an improved Mig-1.44 since 2015.

The Mig-1.46 prototype was re-released in 2020 as a major improvement project that grafted cutting-edge technology to outperform its competitor Sukhoi's Parkpa stealth fighter, which drew interest from the Russian government.

Mig-1.46, which differs significantly from the existing Mig-1.44, is powered by two Yulka AL-45F super turbofan engines with two-dimensional thrust deflection nozzles. Throughout the design process, it evolved into a shape resembling the American Raptor fighter.

It minimized the enemy's radar detection rate by operating a high-tech 3D phased array radar as well as a powerful 30-millimeter rail gun and an internal armament.

Despite a lengthy development period, the Mig-1.46, another main stealth fighter of the Russian Air Force that is less well-known in the West than the Su-57 Parkpa fighter, entered full-scale production in 2022 under the official name of the Mig-37 MFI Siberia and is currently in combat. The number of fighters is a top guarded secret.

12 kilometers west end of Soyangsan Mountain (Limenmin) in Namgang-do, Bukmanju (The 20th Armored Division)

As the two countries began their first battle from a distance of about 10 kilometers, a helicopter-specific engine sound rang out over the 20th Panzer Division.

It was a FAH-91SP Peregrine Falcon attack helicopter of the 171st Air Squadron belonging to the 17th Air Division, a unit under the direct control of the 7th Air Force.

The 16 FAH-91SP Peregrine Falcon attack helicopters of 171 Air Lines, which were flying 150 kilometers away in flight mode with their rotors folded, switched to helicopter mode and rained various firepower on the ground as soon as they entered the sky.

The 81st Panzer Division was inundated with multi-purpose complex rounds, S-ALAM 60 Black Dragon missiles, and 50-millimeter plasma-activated shells. Tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed one after the other by the powerful firepower. The 81st Panzer Division, on the other hand, did not remain still. The 2S6M Tunguska armored personnel carrier responsible for anti-aircraft defense fired a 30-millimeter cannon and a 9M311 short-range surface-to-air missile one after the other.

Drrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Drrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dozens of surface-to-air missiles flew overhead, targeting the FAH-91SP Peregrine Falcon attack helicopters, which in turn began performing rapid evasive maneuvers and spraying chaff and flares. As a result, the surface-to-air missile lost its target and either self-destructed or rotated and fell to the ground.

While the FAH-91SP Peregrine Falcon attack helicopter flew overhead, the C-3A1 White Tiger tanks on the ground advanced quickly and destroyed enemy tanks and armored vehicles.

"Hey, hey! Skip target four and go straight to target five. Its missiles are aimed at our helicopters."

Sergeant Kim Young-joo, who was standing next to him as he hurriedly set up an armored vehicle that fires ground-to-air missiles into the sky from a distance of 20 kilometers away, shouted.

"Oh, my ears are ringing."

"Stop complaining and start shooting! Will you take responsibility if our helicopter crashes?"

"Oh! However, the distance is 20 kilometers. Is it possible?"

"That is the computer's duty. Just step on the launch pad!"

"Oh yeah!"

While answering, he looked through the scope and selected target five. The barrel automatically rotated, and the aiming point touched the front of the 2S6M Tunguska armored vehicle from a distance of 20 kilometers.

Click!

When he stepped on the launch pad with his right foot, a photon cannon was fired with a loud bang.

Bark!

The red particles from the photon cannon, which spread out like a beam of light, collided with the front of the 2S6M Tunguska armored vehicle. Through the scope, Staff Sergeant Yeom Hoon-gi observed the attack.

"Target five is hit!"

"Good job!"

Simultaneously, a railgun metal bullet was fired from the T-14B Armata tank, which had been set as the first target, toward the 712 tank, which was five kilometers away.

Bboong!

An intercepting laser beam was fired by an active defense system mounted on the right flank.

Twokang!

The railgun metal bullet, which appeared in less than two seconds, was intercepted by the laser beam. However, fragments of the remaining metal bullets struck the 712 tank's front.

Papapak! Papapak!

Although the hit was ineffective in causing any damage to the optical equipment mounted on the outside, the tank's interior was affected.

Sergeant Kim Young-joo, who was becoming agitated as a result of this, shouted once more for the enemy tank that was attempting to fire at them to be the first target.

"Staff Sergeant Yeom! Target number one! Get that b*stard right now."

"Yes, sir."

Staff Sergeant Yeom Hoon-gi targeted the center of the T-14 Armata tank, which had been designated as the first target. Even though the reactive armor was installed on the T-14 Armata tank, it was pointless in the face of the photon cannon.

"Do you dare to fire a railgun so boldly at us?"

"Shoot!"

Simultaneously, at Sergeant Kim Young-joo's shouting, Staff sergeant Yeom Hoon-gi stepped onto the launch board.

Bark!

The red particles that flew through the air with a cool firing sound blew up the entire tank's turret. The only remaining tank appeared to slow down gradually and eventually stopped moving. Red particle flames erupted from the top of the hull, where the unmanned turret was supposed to be. It then spread throughout the tank.

"Argh!"

Crew members screamed as they caught on fire and jumped through the open hatch at the same time. The photon cannon's red particle flames appeared to have spread inside.

The crew members rolled around on the ground trying to extinguish the flames on their clothes.

"Will we shoot one more time?"

Staff sergeant Yeom Hoon-gi, said.

"Why do you want to shoot them again after we already hit them? Since the helicopter has already hit the second target, let us pass and move on to the third target!"

"All right."

The third target of the White Tiger 712 tank was an Armata tank that was exposed while rapidly trying to escape to farmland 5.5 kilometers away.
