A heavy atmosphere permeated Netanyahu's office, outside, the sky had gradually brightened, but the hearts of everyone inside were still as dark as before dawn, and there was no trace of light.

"Zaire, I need an explanation."

After a long silence, his hands trembling slightly as he grasped the battle briefing, Netanyahu finally spoke, staring at the air commander he had promoted, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Another impulse from the Air Force, we have already paid a big price." Zaire replied with a sad expression.

"Why don't you explain?" Netanyahu said with some strange words.

"In the face of such a failure, any explanation is pale, and I am willing to bear the main responsibility for everything, this is my mistake, and it has nothing to do with all the officers and men of the Air Force." Zaire said calmly.

In the face of such a defeat, someone must bear the responsibility, an air battle that should have been superiority, but now, it is a defeat for the Israelis.

The fighters of the two wings, such a force can already sweep most of the Middle East, but in front of the future technology group, it has another big heel.

In the face of the opponent's superior anti-aircraft firepower, the fighters' firepower was also superior, all of which were suppressed to the death.

The most tragic thing is that after this air battle, they vowed to kill the opponent's fighters, but they didn't even hurt the opponent's fight.

On the contrary, it lost 20 fighter planes, and such losses were really worse for Israel, which had already suffered huge losses under air raids.

To know. Twenty third-generation air supremacy fighters. Put it in a lot of countries. Almost the only air power, and even in the Middle East, few countries have as many as twenty third-generation air combat fighters.

Iran, which has always been regarded as Israel's main adversary, is still just a remnant of the Panda fighter jets, and the number of them is less than 20 now.

And this is almost the main air supremacy of the Iranian Air Force at present, and the Israeli Air Force can also be said to be broken so far.

In addition to the desert center, one hundred and twenty kilometers south of Tel Aviv, there is a relatively intact air force training base. In other places, there is no longer a formed air force combat force.

The government has no way to give an account to the parliament and the people for such a huge loss, but if it is compared with Israel's national strategic interests, such damage must be endured, even if it is no longer bearable.

The stronger the opponent, the more determined it is to strike the opponent, otherwise it will be more difficult to deal with in the future.

"Now is not the time to discuss responsibility, I have already consulted with the council, facing our losses. What we have to do is to concentrate all our strength. Completely eliminate the Future Technology Group, this time the determination of the outside is unprecedentedly firm. ”

Netanyahu said firmly and decisively: "You must stay in your post now, and I look forward to the news of your meritorious service." ”

Zaire looked at his old chief with some surprise, but soon nodded firmly and assured: "I will not let the country and the people down." ”

"What we have to do now is to immediately adjust the direction of the country's forces, we must quickly repair all the airfields, gather all the air forces, and if necessary, we can unblock our own young division fighters." Netanyahu instructed.

However, when Zaire heard this, he shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, the Future Technology Group has a very advanced air defense system, especially in the technology of air monitoring, which is not lost to any country in the world at all, and the third-generation fighter has no advantage at all in the face of such an opponent." ”

"Are you saying that we have to buy the F-35 to gain an advantage in the confrontation with the Future Technology Group?" Netanyahu frowned slightly and said.

"This is the most direct way, otherwise even if we can destroy the opponent's air defense and anti-missile systems, we will have to pay a huge price." Zaire said.

The purchase of the F-35 has always been a key issue of high-level discussion in Israel, and the United States has always hoped that more allies or friends will buy this fighter jet, which is very expensive and expensive.

Previously, the Israeli side did not need this at all, and a large number of third-generation fighters were already able to meet their needs, and the Lightning fighters, in the hands of Israel, did not have any effect.

However, in the face of any sound ground air defense network, the Israeli side does need an advanced fighter jet to deal with the air defense network of the Future Technology Group.

But buying lightning fighters now, and it is not possible to buy them right away and equip them immediately, after all, there are not a few countries waiting in line to equip lightning fighters.

None of the countries directly involved in the development of this fighter began to officially equip it.

Moreover, now the United States is actively promoting the two sides to sit down and talk, whether it will agree to sell lightning fighter jets to Israel, it is still unclear.

"It's not realistic in a short period of time." Netanyahu shook his head and said very politely: "It is impossible for the United States to sell it to us in a short period of time, and even if it does, it will not be delivered to us in two or three years." ”

"Then I don't recommend that our fighters fight hard with the anti-aircraft firepower of the Future Technology Group, the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower configuration is very complete, with multiple echelons before and after, which can defend the airspace with a radius of more than 100 kilometers from Marin Town, and the fighters who enter this airspace are all very dangerous." Zaire said.

"Then we must find a way to destroy these anti-aircraft weapons, and this matter must not be left like this." Netanyahu said.

At this moment, the defense minister on the side interjected at this time and suggested: "Then the only way to end the fighting in Lebanon as soon as possible and concentrate ground forces and air power to deal with the Future Technology Group." ”

It is indeed more important to concentrate forces on the future technology conglomerates now than the battle in Lebanon.

But now that the battle has begun, it is not so simple to end it.

The direction can be said to be out, but will the current Lebanese army simply end the fighting state with Israel?

At least, for now, with the help of mercenaries from the future security company, the Lebanese forces are almost able to withstand the Israeli army's offensive and have begun to inflict more casualties on the Israeli forces.

Netanyahu thought for a moment and said: "Then first agree to the mediation of various countries and see how the Lebanese side reacts." (To be continued.) )
