Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

"What is that?" a young soldier asked in confusion, with a hint of fear in his voice.

Petrovich squinted his eyes, trying to make out the rapidly approaching shadow.

As the distance shortened, he finally saw clearly - it was a large group of flying objects, so many that they were difficult to count, flying in neat formation from high altitude.

They were unlike any fighters or bombers he knew of, smaller, more oddly shaped, and flew completely differently from conventional aircraft.

Suddenly, Petrovich remembered the last words of Major General Popov’s cut-off phone call: “…and not just tanks…they brought…brand new…”

"A fleet of bombers from Dragon Country," Petrovich said, almost holding his breath. "It must be! This is the new weapon brought by Dragon Country!"

As these flying objects approached, the buzzing sound they emitted became louder and louder, almost forming a heart-pounding resonance.

Hundreds, possibly even thousands, of drones flying in formation in the sky were an incredibly spectacular sight.

The Russian soldiers stared at the scene in amazement, unable to believe their eyes.

Just a moment ago, they were ready to die; but now, the spark of hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes.

The swarm of drones was like a metal storm, roaring over the Soviet position and heading straight for the advancing M1A1 tank formation.

The first wave of drones suddenly accelerated and descended, accurately locking onto the front few M1A1s. Before the NATO soldiers could react, the drones had already released the small but powerful missiles they carried.

Explosions rang out one after another, and several M1A1 tanks that were considered indestructible were engulfed in flames under precise strikes.

The ammunition inside the tank exploded, the turret was blown off, and the armor was penetrated.

The NATO offensive came to an abrupt halt, replaced by chaos and panic.

Petrovich and his soldiers watched in disbelief.

The precision strike capability and group coordinated combat level demonstrated by these drones far exceeded any weapon system they had ever seen.

They are agile, deadly, and numerous, and NATO's air defenses seem completely unable to cope with this new threat.

"Comrade Captain," the deputy excitedly grabbed Petrovich's shoulders, his voice trembling with excitement, "We are saved! The reinforcements from Dragon Country have really arrived!"

Petrovich nodded, his eyes gleaming with relief and hope.

Just minutes before, they had been ready to die defending Stalingrad; now, the tide of battle had completely turned.

At this moment, he felt an almost religious sense of redemption, as if in the darkest moment, light finally broke through.

……

The swarm of Longguo’s drones covered the sky above the battlefield like a dark metallic cloud, and its density was shocking.

NATO's air defense system fell into chaos almost instantly - thousands of targets appeared on the radar screen, too many to be effectively tracked and locked.

Not only are these drones huge in number, but they also use some special stealth technology, making it difficult for conventional air defense radars to capture their precise location.

“Air defense system overloaded! Too many targets!”

An operator shouted in panic, his voice filled with unprecedented panic.

MacArthur stood in the command vehicle, brows furrowed, watching the battlefield situation take a rapid turn for the worse.

His pride, the M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks known as the "King of the Land", now seemed so fragile in front of the swarm of drones.

The drone swarm launched its first wave of attacks. A small, unprecedented missile—later identified by intelligence as a "terminal-guided munition"—was released from underneath the drones and struck the M1A1 tanks with astonishing accuracy.

These missiles are small, fast, and have extremely irregular flight paths, making them almost impossible to intercept.

What's even more terrifying is that they seem to be equipped with some kind of advanced terminal guidance system that can accurately lock onto the weak points of the tank.

“They’re targeting the turret-hull junction!”

the tank commander exclaimed over the radio.

"That's where our armor is weakest—"

His words died abruptly, and the radio was filled with a harsh static.

One after another, the M1A1s were accurately hit by these small missiles.

Although these tanks have the world's most advanced composite armor and active defense systems, the special warhead design used in the terminal-guided projectiles seems to be able to easily penetrate these protections.

Some missiles directly attack the tank's turret rotating ring, making the turret unable to rotate; others target the engine compartment and track system, completely paralyzing the tank's mobility.

What is most shocking is that these attacks demonstrated a kind of almost intelligent coordinated combat capability - multiple missiles would attack the same target from different angles at the same time to ensure the destruction effect.

NATO tank commanders had never seen such a sophisticated coordinated attack and were completely unable to cope with it.

"This is impossible!" MacArthur roared angrily, watching his proud M1A1 tank formation lose more than half of its members in just a few minutes. "The M1A1's armor can withstand any known anti-tank weapon!"

However, the reality was cruelly unfolding before his eyes.

Those war machines that cost millions of dollars, those modern tanks that are considered the king of land warfare, are like flowers in a greenhouse in front of these small drones and are easily destroyed.

Some tanks didn't even have time to fire back before they were hit by multiple terminal-guided munitions at the same time, instantly turning into burning metal coffins.

After the first wave of attacks ended, the second wave of drones began to move.

The drones flew lower and more widely dispersed, each one precisely positioned over an area where NATO infantry and armored vehicles were concentrated.

"Bunker! Everyone, find bunker immediately!" NATO officers shouted desperately, but it was too late.

What the drone released was not a conventional bomb, but an advanced cluster bomb.

The main bomb explodes at a certain height from the ground, releasing dozens of small bullets with a wide coverage area.

Some of these bullets are high explosive, some are armor-piercing, and some appear to be electromagnetic pulse rounds designed specifically to attack electronic equipment.

NATO infantry units and light armored vehicles were almost helpless against such attacks.

Cluster bombs cause casualties over a wide area; the ammunition dropped by a drone can cover an area of ​​hundreds of square meters.

What’s even more terrifying is that these drones seem to be able to identify the importance and threat level of the target, giving priority to attacking command vehicles, communication equipment and air defense systems.

General MacArthur stood in the command vehicle and witnessed all this through the display screen.

His face turned from ashen to pale, and then from pale to an angry red.

As an experienced commander, he immediately realized that this was not just a routine air raid, but a complete technological crushing.

The drone technology displayed by the Dragon Kingdom is at least a decade ahead of NATO, possibly more.
