Mysterious Disappearance!_2 911: Chapter 902: The Plane’s Mad Escape!

Mysterious Disappearance!_2 The plane had shut off its communication devices; there was no response to any calls.

Affected by the Earth’s curvature, long-range early warning radars have limited detection distances at low and ultra-low altitudes.

It’s like when someone tilts their head up; they definitely can’t see their own feet.

Because of this limitation of radar, military powerhouses have their pilots rigorously practice ultra-low altitude penetration skills and develop equipped early-warning aircraft to ‘look down from above’ from high altitudes, which aren’t affected by the curvature of the Earth.

In the current scenario, the government plane was either going to crash into the sea or it was attempting ultra-low altitude flight.

The two urgently launched heavy air dominance fighters had phased array radars that could detect targets at mid to high altitudes from a farther distance.

But for ultra-low altitudes…

over the vast sea, with turbulent waves, there was too much electromagnetic clutter.

To accurately detect a target, one would need to close the distance to let the radar ‘see more clearly.’

Alternatively, deploy a large early-warning aircraft quickly, but there was no time for that.

A large early-warning aircraft would take at least an hour just for refueling, preparation, and takeoff.

An hour…

By then, the government plane would have already flown into another country’s airspace.

…

Not long after.

The plane had left the monitoring range of the long-range early-warning radar.

It either crashed thunderously into the sea or was skimming the water at ultra-low altitude.

Clearly, it was the latter.

This was an organized and premeditated act of fleeing.

The flight crew had to be highly skilled, or else they wouldn’t dare to fly at ultra-low altitudes over the sea at night.

Because flying at night, over the boundless sea without any references, completely dark, even with good eyesight, you can’t see anything clearly.

One would have to rely on instruments and radar, along with superior flying skills.

However, sometimes even with good equipment and skills, if luck isn’t on your side, it can end tragically.

Low-altitude air currents can change rapidly, and a slight mishap could easily lead to stalling and crashing.

Just think about it.

Flying at hundreds of kilometers per hour at less than a hundred meters above the sea surface.

A 0.1-second error, a sudden intense low-level wind shear.

In an instant, it could cause the plane to crash into the sea.

Upon high-speed impact, the relative hardness of water is no less than that of steel plates.

That’s why high-diving requires courage and skills, or else hitting the water surface straight down, the pressure could literally shock someone to death.

And this was also an escape with significant plotting, the plane must have been carrying important individuals who had compelling reasons to flee.

Think about it.

Apart from the untraceable group led by Kong Heng who had escaped capture, who else could it be?

A forced interception, kidnapping Kong Heng under special service escort – if captured, that would definitely mean the death penalty.

Wealthy, influential, well-connected, with many moles aiding them, and extremely ruthless and highly skilled.

Therefore,

They had enough motive and strength to commit the crime!

If they managed to escape, how could we face the two special service members who sacrificed valiantly and whose bodies were still warm?

Wouldn’t this shocking and monstrous case never be concluded?

So…

Is there a need to even consider?

Elder Tan immediately gave the order: once the target is spotted, shoot to kill was authorized.

Since the severe deviation from its course occurred, the government plane had already flown over two hundred kilometers.

After dodging radar detection with ultra-low altitude flight, it was bound to adjust its heading.

It couldn’t possibly maintain its original course and keep flying straight; this would make it too easy to be detected and tracked by the fighters.

Over the vast sea, just a slight change of course could lead to a significant error.

With this,

Even though the two pursuing heavy air dominance fighters had been authorized to attack, they were still unable to engage.

They even had to adjust their course.

Spreading out, flying at certain angles, they activated their radars in a fan-shaped pattern, conducting meticulous searches.

Only after finding the target could they launch a missile attack.

Otherwise,

a long-range air-to-air missile worth more than two million yuan each, firing indiscriminately, would only be exploding air?

…

Time trickled away, second by second.

The government plane was still not found; it was as if it had plunged into the sea.

The two fighter jets had been pursuing and searching for several minutes.

Logically, with the government plane’s large size, its infrared and radar signal characteristics should be obvious.

Military aircraft’s phased array radars should have detected something by now!

But the problem was…

There was still no sign, as if the plane really had crashed at sea, or vanished into thin air.

Receiving such a report, Elder Tan was naturally livid.

How could such a large government plane just disappear like that!

Had it crashed into the sea, flown in another direction or had the two fighters simply not searched properly…

The exact reason was unclear to anyone.

After Kong Heng was kidnapped, such a shocking incident had already alarmed various departments.

During such a special period, the fact that the civilian government plane was granted permission to take off and follow a maritime route was strange enough.

Who approved the take-off?

Who was responsible for security checks?

Who knew exactly who was on board the government plane?

And,

the severe deviation from course, repeatedly ignoring warnings before an emergency report was made.

Only then was the emergency response mechanism activated, and the fighter jets dispatched…

Such efficiency made it hard for Elder Tan not to suspect that someone was just going through the motions, putting on a show.

…

After slamming his cup down and cursing,

Elder Tan, who was usually kind and amiable, was thoroughly enraged.

Inside the rest room, no one spoke.

Zheng, rushing over in the night, exchanged a silent glance with Wu Jie.

There must be a demon behind abnormal events.

Could Kong Heng have escaped without an inside accomplice?

Once there’s a mole signaling and covering for him, the case becomes much more difficult to investigate.

Because every action, every command, to Kong Heng and his associates, was completely transparent.

Zheng took out his phone, quietly typed for a while, and sent Wu Jie a long message.

“Sigh…

I’m now seriously suspecting there’s remnants of the Kong Family inside!

I ordered a secret search in Anlong Community by Liuli City’s division, but the others somehow also came to join the commotion.

How did they know?

Are the thieves crying ‘stop the thief’?”

After reading the message, Wu Jie smiled solemnly.

“This is Liuli City, not Tianyuan, the Kong Family has painstakingly operated here for decades!”

Having sent the message, Wu Jie looked up at Elder Tan.

He had grown so angry that he was giving the strategic command orders to find the government plane at all costs.

Whether it meant deploying early warning aircraft, drones, or warships, they needed to produce a person alive or present a corpse.

Tang Xiao stood up and suggested to Elder Tan,

“The government plane might not necessarily be flying at a very low altitude skimming the sea—it could also have performed a ditching at sea!”

“Airplanes have decent buoyancy, they won’t sink immediately, so they would have enough time to switch to sea escape by boat!”

“So we might search the nearby waters for foreign ships!”

“If they’ve boarded a ship from another country, sinking it would inevitably cause an international dispute, especially since the fighters aren’t equipped with anti-ship missiles!”

…

Elder Tan immediately issued additional orders, and at this moment, Wu Jie’s spirits lifted.

Kong Heng finally awoke!

The system immediately performed precision localization on him…
