(SF novel) East of Nakba (46)
Chapter 17 A tanker shot down (1) Royal Air Force plane sneaks up from behind (1/3)
Nine F16 fighters of Saudi Air Force met Israeli convoy of one refueling aircraft and two escort jet fighters in the middle of Arabian Peninsula. It did not mean that they directly confronted each other. Instead, Saudi convoy lowered the altitude before they met the enemy. As soon as the Israeli convoy passed overhead, they immediately turned around and chased the targets.
When Israeli jets found the figure on the radar at first, they could identify neither the model nor the number of flying objects. The radar of Israeli jets imaged that several aircrafts were approaching from Saudi Arabia. But Israeli pilots at last acknowledged that they were the convoy of nine jet fighters.
Radar taught them that the convoy of nine jets kept much lower altitudes. There were no symptom that they were going to attack them directly. The convoy passed beneath them. They thought that it had to be the flight training of the Royal Saudi Air Force.
