Tonight is a sleepless night for many people.
When he left the Prince Sultan Air Base, it was already early in the morning, and Chen Xin took 56 F22 fighters from the base with him at the same time.
There were originally seventy F22s in this base, but fourteen were destroyed by the previous electromagnetic pulse attack, and there was little repair value.
Most of the rest were damaged electronics, and the steel hammer easily restored them to normal.
The return trip was surprisingly easy and there were no further surprises.
Chen Xin slept directly on the plane.
As soon as Ahdi and Youssef, who stayed in Mogadishu, saw Chen Xin, they immediately had a backbone.
Although Chen Xin did not involve Somalia in this war, they paid more attention to this war than Chen Xin himself.
After all, Somalia cannot afford any defeat in ruins.
However, Chen Xin did not disappoint them, in the first wave of air combat, the price of only twenty drones was exchanged for more than 200 fighters of the other party.
Especially when they saw the more than 50 Raptor fighters that Chen Xin had brought back, they were even more shocked and dumbfounded.
Although he had been accustomed to Chen Xin's vast powers from his previous experience, this time, Ahdi and Yousuf were really convinced.
In the face of such a formidable opponent, it is unbelievable that so many advanced fighters of the enemy can be captured.
And the happiest are the aircraft crews of the former ground support unit of the Chinese Air Force, who would have thought that Chen Xin, who would have thought that Chen Xin, who was regarded as the biggest imaginary enemy of the Chinese Air Force, would casually get more than 50 of them.
Yu Zhenwei and Ji Feng saw F22s slowly landing on the runway of the Mogadishu base. The eyeballs are almost bulging.
Even they, deep down at this time, couldn't help but have a trace of admiration for Chen Xin in their hearts.
Yu Zhenwei couldn't care so much, and hurriedly ran over with Ji Feng to ask Chen Xin for instructions, if they could study F22.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Xin directly allocated two of them and let them toss.
Both of them were so excited that their eyes were red on the spot. After solemnly saluting Chen Xin, he went back to gather his subordinates and prepared to unload the F22 into eight pieces!

As the aftermath of the electromagnetic storm gradually subsided, communications in the Middle East gradually resumed, and the news that the Arab League countries had been hit by large-scale electromagnetic pulse bombs was also transmitted to the rest of the world.
Then, reporters from other regions entered the EMP strike zone with cameras and cameras in good condition, and the situation in the major cities hit by EMP bombs was transmitted step by step.
A New York Times reporter who lives in Dubai and experienced the EMP strike wrote in his column: "The attack we suffered was sudden. When the EMP bomb struck, I was invited to a cocktail party at the Burj Al Arab. The city is home to high-ranking officials and elites from the Gulf countries, and the extreme luxury and indulgence of the Burj Al Arab has many people lingering, but no one realizes it. At this time, their country is at war with a mysterious and powerful enemy. The war that took place on the other side of the sea seemed to them to be the business of another world.
But the fact that they don't care about war doesn't mean that war won't come to its door.
The moment the EMP bomb exploded, lightning lit up everyone's faces, and then the originally brightly lit hall was plunged into darkness. All kinds of electronic devices are flying sparks. The cameras, mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other electronic devices that everyone carried with them were all burned as if by magic.
Everyone was at a loss. The well-dressed and wealthy on weekdays are not much better than ordinary people in the face of crisis.
The reception had to be interrupted temporarily, and the crowd began to become agitated, and many people tried to leave the party, only to find that the hotel elevator had stopped running due to the power outage, and the 56-story Burj Al Arab became a cage.
Thank you, Lord, that the reception hall I attended was located on the nineteenth floor of the Burj Al Arab. It's not too difficult to walk downstairs.
I knew something big must have happened in Dubai, and the strange sights that followed the lightning just now reminded me of an electromagnetic pulse bomb, which is a terrifying weapon. As a journalist, I have to send back to China what happened in Dubai.
But there were more difficulties than I could have imagined, my Ford SUV. The electrical system has been completely burned out and cannot be started.
So I had to walk home.
The streets were full of stalled cars and frightened crowds, many of whom had no idea what was going on and were just scurrying aimlessly.
Some people realized that the situation was not right and began to go to the supermarket to scan the goods and stock up on supplies.
But most supermarkets and stores have closed their doors due to power system failures and cash register failures.
I was lucky enough to buy food and water to feed me for five days and go home.
As night falls, the metropolis that never sleeps seems to have been swallowed up by Satan and becomes a city of darkness. No rescue force came to the aid of the city. Rumours swirled and riots spread, and foreign tourists rushed to the airport in droves, only to find that the airport was closed and not a single plane was allowed to take off. Hospitals are overcrowded, and many people are affected by various accidents caused by the explosion of electromagnetic pulse bombs. For two whole days, Dubai's electricity, transportation was completely cut off, food was shortage, and drinking water became a big problem. Mass riots began in the city, with rioters smashing shops, supermarkets and looting supplies, and the police were slow to respond......
It wasn't until two days later, with the arrival of outside rescue forces, that the riots that spread throughout the city gradually subsided.
I later learned that this humanitarian crisis, which has lasted for months, is not only happening in Dubai, but also in many large cities of the Arab League......"
When the report came out, it generated an enthusiastic response around the world, with many people stunned by the catastrophic consequences of the EMP bomb.
Later, according to statistics, the electromagnetic pulse strike caused a total of 5,671 deaths, 13,528 injuries, and the crash of two civil airliners, with direct economic losses of up to $1.5 trillion, and indirect losses that cannot be calculated.
What is even more tragic is that the coalition forces of the Arab League, as the main target of electromagnetic pulse bombs, have lost more than 90% of their heavy equipment. Hundreds of thousands of Arab League troops have basically lost their combat effectiveness.
Some mechanized units that were marching towards Somalia also had to stop and wait for further instructions from the rear command centre.
Fortunately, the Somali army did not take the opportunity to launch a large-scale military operation against the Arab League, otherwise this armed army to the teeth would be in danger of being completely annihilated.
