(SF novel) East of Nakba (43)

 (Japanese Version)


Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran (40)


Chapter 16 Operation code name ‘South of the Border’ (3) Sortie of Saudi Royal Air Force  (1/3)


 

"What about the first three fighter jets we missed?"


Everyone was vaguely aware of the ending of the drama. But everyone wanted to hear from the prince.


"The Israeli Air Force is far superior to the Iranian Air Force. Israeli pilots will surely bomb the target and safely escape from chase." "But then they find out that the parent bird doesn’t come to pick them up. They don't have enough fuel to return to their base. What's the fate of the puppies that gradually weaken when the fuel runs out? Only Allah knows. Inshallah."


Israeli jets were fallen into their trap. They were going to shout for joy. But no one laughed at the commander's talk. They realized that Israeli pilots were the same themselves although they were enemies. Even Israeli pilots had completed their mission, they could not return to their own base due to lack of fuel. After wandering over Persian Gulf, they would definitely crash in the desert or the sea. Saudi pilots couldn't laugh when they imagined the results. It might be a strange sense of fellowship as pilot.
