Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran

 

Chapter 28. Virtual control: The second jet disappeared in the desert (1)

"We will escort you one by one to each landing site. When approaching the site, then ground controller will guide you. That is all of our mission."

 

"Please be careful that if the nearest country heard this radio communication and recognized you as an Israeli aircraft, they may take countermeasures. Therefore, you must not use your radio and follow us."

The US pilot repeated the same words twice. The voice was full of power.

 

"Firstly, the second jet of the right wing should immediately head toward the Arabian Peninsula."

The “Mafia” slowly turned to the right according to the instruction and left from fellow jets. An US jet caught up from behind and began flying in parallel with the “Mafia”. Two jets were so close that the “Mafia” could acknowledged the face of US pilot. He showed his thumb up at the US pilot. Due to be forbidden to communicate by radio, it implied his willingness to thank US pilot. However, his mate did not respond at all. Instead, US pilot grabbed his control stick, descended a little and moved under the Mafia. He looked up the fuselage of Mafia’s jet as if looking for something.

 

As the US pilot could find nothing there, he jumped in front of the “Mafia” and began to lower its altitude little by little. They were heading straight toward the Arabian Peninsula. The burner flame that occasionally spewed out from the jet engine of US fighter was the message. "Follow me".

 

Two fighters were now penetrating from the Persian Gulf into the Arabian Peninsula. A container ship was seen under his eyes. Then a crane handling cargo on the quay was seen at the end of the creek. Beyond that, there was an ultra-modern city with a forest of skyscrapers in the inland area. One skyscraper stood out among them. It was the world's tallest building namely "Burj Khalifa". The building of over 800meters high overwhelmed the surroundings. It was so close as if Mafia could touch it directly.
