Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Brad Ford was a little curious. He had thought he would be ambushed while refueling, but to his surprise, he was safe. He looked around at the Avengers and wondered if it was the protection provided by these vehicles that kept them from making a move.

With this in mind, he was full of confidence.

"Attention everyone, advance on Basra now! We must raise the Stars and Stripes over the official residence in Basra before dawn tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

The massive armored force began to move again, and at that moment, a melody seemed to appear in Bradford's mind.

"The Stars and Stripes shine in the sunset, the American soldiers bravely ride their Humvees, I'm so proud to be an oil thief, with a Kevlar hat on my head..."

Damn it, this song is everywhere lately, but... it doesn't seem to be wrong. We are oil thieves, so what? We Americans are so powerful, of course we should go to other countries to burn, kill, and plunder!

In the early hours of the morning, the tank unit entered the streets of Basra. Looking at the buildings on both sides, his subordinates were somewhat worried: "Could there be an ambush force there?"

"Probably not, their best option is to run away!"

At this moment, Bradford regained his confidence.

After entering the city, the infantrymen dismounted from the armored vehicles and positioned themselves to protect the tanks on both sides. Even if someone were lying in ambush, they would not be able to harm them. The infantrymen were all wearing night vision goggles, which allowed them to anticipate the enemy's moves in the dark!

The convoy moved forward, and forward again, until the entire force entered the street, forming a long line.

It's safe, very safe. We hardly saw any enemies exposed outside, and the whole city was eerily quiet…

boom!

Suddenly, the rear of the last M1 tank burst into flames!

"Damn it, what's going on? Is it an RPG?"

The M1 tank had very thick armor, and later it was equipped with depleted uranium armor, making it even more formidable, to the point that its own shells could not penetrate its armor.

However, it also has weaknesses. It becomes very weak later on, so weak that even an RPG can be defeated!

"No, we didn't see any flames, and the infantry didn't react either!"

Of course, it was still a drone. However, once the tanks roared to life, the infantry could no longer hear the drones buzzing. The drones were completely hidden in the darkness, launching a surprise attack!

When the last tank burst into flames, the entire street was illuminated. The infantrymen on the side looked up at the sky and then pulled their triggers!

Ta-da-da…

M16 bullets flew into the sky, and if you were lucky, you might shoot down one or two drones. However, some drones flew down unscathed and landed behind the tanks.

Boom, boom boom!

The rear of the tanks was blown up, and bursts of flames appeared.

The drones that were shot down were not wasted; they also exploded upon landing.

People kept falling victim, screams echoed, flames, blood, and death turned the night-shrouded streets into chaos.

Boom! Park Ji-sung heard a huge explosion, the sound coming from the car. The next moment, he saw scorching flames rushing from the back of the car!

Oh no! Our tank is on fire!

He instinctively climbed towards the hatch, and just as he opened the top hatch, he was violently pulled down!

"Get lost, you damned yellow-skinned monkey!"

Rodney pulled Park Ji-sung down while climbing up himself.

On the other side, Curtis was also climbing up quickly.

The M1 tank has three hatches: one for the driver, one for the commander, and one for the gunner, but not for the loader!

Park Ji-sung reacted quickly and could have been the first to climb out, which wouldn't have taken more than two or three seconds. However, Rodney didn't let him get away with it; not a single second of escape time could be wasted!

Rodney made the right choice. As his upper body climbed out of the tank, his lower body felt a scorching heat, and Park Ji-sung's screams came from inside.

Rodney quickly jumped off the tank, rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames burning his legs, and then saw Park Ji-sung struggling to run out of the flames. His upper body was engulfed in flames, and even if he got out, he was beyond saving. He had extensive burns all over his body and was doomed. It was better to die than to die...

boom!

The next moment, the tank exploded!

The blast wave lifted Rodney into the air. Within a dozen meters of the tank, there was no survivor. Whether they died first or last, they were all doomed! However, for them, it was certain that they would keep the hope of survival for themselves and leave the danger of death to those foreigners trying to obtain green cards through military service. Yes, those who were currently still foreigners!

Bradford was safe for the moment. Inside the tank, he held a communicator and shouted, "Avengers, Avengers, open fire!"

"Report: We cannot lock onto the target!"

what?

"Aren't you field anti-aircraft weapons?"

"The target has no infrared signature, we cannot lock onto it!"

"Where's the radar?"

"Radar can't see it!"

boom!

Just then, his tank exploded with a loud bang, and Bradford quickly opened the hatch above his head, preparing to crawl out.

Wait, what's that above my head?!

He looked up and, in the flash of the explosion, saw a multi-rotor drone flying rapidly toward him!

The next second, this thing actually crawled inside the tank.

boom!

As the eastern sky began to lighten, all that remained at the scene were rows of burned tanks—M1 tanks, the most advanced ground equipment of the US military, all turned into scrap metal!

"Viewers at home, behind me is the city of Basra, where fierce fighting has just taken place. As you can see, all the tanks of the American armored battalion that entered the city have been destroyed. We Iraq are capable of protecting our territory. Long live Iraq! Long live Saddam!"

This news quickly spread throughout the country and the world!

Coulson gritted his teeth: "What's going on? Our Avengers are ineffective against those drones too?"

"Yes, several operators who returned from the battlefield last night said that those drones don't emit infrared light, so infrared devices can't lock onto them, and our night vision devices can't see them either, which is enough to verify this. The thing is very small, and radar can't detect it either..."

"So, you mean we can't do anything about this?"

"No, not exactly. Besides the first method, we also have a second and a third method."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier!"

You didn't let me say it yesterday! Honek felt a little wronged, but dared not complain.

"The second method is to weld fences onto tanks, which will block drones."

Multirotor drones are elusive, but they are not invincible. Their weaknesses are also obvious. They can be blocked by a fence with a smaller gap. As long as they don't fly onto the tank, they can't damage it!

The only downside to this design is... it looks a bit ugly!
