"What...what are these?"

Commander Jiang Chaoyang looked up, staring in amazement at the "monsters" flying in the sky, his voice trembling slightly with extreme shock.

As the commander-in-chief of the navy, he had seen aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, but he had never seen such strange flying vehicles in swarms.

Although General Chen had witnessed the power of Dragon Country's drones before on the battlefield in Yugoslavia, he was also deeply shocked when he saw such a large and diverse drone cluster with his own eyes.

Fang Yu looked at the shocked expressions of the two generals and a proud smile appeared on his face.

He did not answer directly, but turned around and called over a young staff member who was standing at the side of the venue. He was wearing a strange helmet that looked like VR glasses and holding a controller similar to a game controller in his hand.

"Xiao Li," Fang Yu said to the staff member, pointing at General Chen and Jiang Chaoyang, "these two are our highest military leaders. They've come here today to inspect our work. Show them your unique skills."

The young engineer, Xiao Li, was so excited that his face turned red when he saw the two legendary figures standing in front of him. He quickly stood at attention, saluted, and answered loudly.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

After saying that, he put on the VR helmet again and skillfully operated the controller with both hands.

In the distance, a medium-sized drone with four rotors and a size of about one meter square suddenly broke away from the formation and flew towards their location at high speed.

"This...is this the new weapon you were talking about?" General Chen asked curiously.

Fang Yu smiled and nodded: "It's called the Patrol-2 multi-purpose attack drone."

"However, we prefer to call it the 'air can opener.'"

While they were talking, the Patrol-2 had already flown to a position about one hundred meters above them and was hovering steadily in the air. The noise it made was so slight that it was almost negligible.

"Commander, please take a look," Xiao Li's voice came through a loudspeaker. "The most fundamental performance of the Patrol-2 is its exceptional maneuverability."

As soon as he finished speaking, the drone suddenly performed a series of dazzling flying maneuvers in the air.

Sometimes it performed irregular S-shaped maneuvers like a drunk; sometimes it rolled and dived at high speed like a thrown stone.

It can even perform a series of difficult maneuvers in the air, such as somersaults and side flips, which exceed the aerodynamic limits of all known aircraft!

"Oh my god!" Commander Jiang Chaoyang exclaimed again, "Its maneuverability... is even more agile than a hummingbird! Any anti-aircraft artillery fire would be useless in front of it!"

"This is just the appetizer." Fang Yu said with a smile.

Xiao Li continued his performance: "In addition to its superb maneuverability, the Patrol-2 also possesses powerful reconnaissance and environmental adaptability capabilities."

He controlled the drone, slowly landed it, and then, like a gecko, silently attached himself to a vertical wall.

Then it flew to a thin electric wire and landed on it steadily like a little bird.

Finally, it even landed directly on the surface of a pool, floating steadily like a small hovercraft.

"Waterproof, dustproof, anti-electromagnetic interference, and all-weather, all-terrain combat capabilities." Xiao Li introduced proudly.

General Chen and Jiang Chaoyang were completely shocked.

Such a small drone has such strong adaptability, which means that it can perform tasks in any complex battlefield environment.

"Next," Xiao Li's tone became excited, "please, both commanders, witness its true power—the multifunctional attack module."

The drone took off again and flew to the center of the test site. Under its belly was a replaceable modular weapon station.

"Depending on the mission, we can equip it with different attack modules," Xiao Li explained. "For example, a 7.62mm machine gun module for use against infantry..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the machine gun module under the drone suddenly spewed out flames, and fired accurately at several targets in the distance at an extremely high rate of fire.

The gunshots were crisp and dense, and the target was instantly covered with dense bullet holes.

"...or a 40mm grenade launcher module for suppressive fire..."

The drone quickly replaced its module and fired several grenades at another target area.

Explosions rang out one after another, turning the simulated position into a mess.

"And to deal with the enemy's armored units," Xiao Li said with a hint of cruel excitement, "we have prepared this—the 'Hive' miniature anti-tank missile system."

The drone's weapon station once again turned into a honeycomb-like miniature missile launcher with six launch tubes.

"Target, abandoned tank ahead!"

At the other end of the test site, there was a long-scrapped American M60 main battle tank parked as a target.

"emission!"

Following Xiao Li's order, six palm-sized micro missiles whizzed out from the drone, leaving a faint trail of smoke!

They automatically formed an attack formation in the air, and from different angles, in an almost tricky top-attack mode, they fiercely stabbed into the top of the M60 tank's turret - the weakest point of the tank's armor.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Six violent explosions sounded almost simultaneously!

The turret of the steel behemoth weighing tens of tons was blown away like a bottle cap being unscrewed in the violent explosion, rolled several times in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground!

The entire tank was reduced to a burning, twisted pile of scrap metal.

Deathly silence.

General Chen and Jiang Chaoyang were completely petrified. Their mouths gaped open as they stared blankly at the burning tank wreckage in the distance, their minds blank.

A small, man-portable drone completely destroyed a main battle tank in just a few seconds?!

What kind of terrifying fighting power is this? !

"This...this..." General Chen pointed at the drone in the sky that had completed its attack and was returning home, his voice trembling with extreme excitement. "Xiao Fang...this...this thing...how much does it cost? How many can a soldier carry?"

Fang Yu smiled slightly and gave an answer that made the two generals almost faint on the spot.

"Commander, its total cost is less than the price of an ordinary military jeep."

"After optimization, a standard infantry squad can carry three to five of these drones, along with ammunition modules sufficient to sustain a high-intensity combat."

"And," he added, "you don't need long-term flight training to operate it. Any young person who has played video games can master it after just a week of training."

"We even developed a voice control and AI-assisted aiming system, which greatly lowers the operational threshold."

"Three to five per squad..." Commander Jiang Chaoyang muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light, as if he had discovered a new world. "If... if every squad in our Marine Corps is equipped with this... then in future landing operations..."

He didn't dare think any further. He knew that a brand-new era of miniaturized and popularized Army Aviation, one that would completely overturn the modern warfare model, had arrived.

With this "air can opener", traditional tanks, the "king of land warfare" that once dominated land warfare for nearly half a century, are likely to be completely reduced to mobile iron coffins.

"I want them all!" General Chen suddenly roared and grabbed Fang Yu's hand. His expression seemed to be afraid that he would change his mind. "Xiao Fang! Our military wants this drone!"

"As many as you want! Immediately! Right now! Send them to the Pennsylvania front for us! I want to turn all those M1A1s of the Eagle Sauce into a pile of scrap metal!"

Looking at the two generals of the Republic who were as excited as children who had obtained their favorite toys, Fang Yu smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that when these deadly "air can openers" appeared in the skies of North America like locusts, the once invincible armored torrent of the Eagle Sauce would meet their true doomsday.
