(SF novel) East of Nakba (50)

 

(Japanese Version)

 

Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran (47)

 

Chapter 18 A tanker shot down (2) Formation of planes torn apart (2/3)


Israeli F16 besieged by three Saudi F16s sometimes speeded up, sometimes soared, swooped, and turned. Israeli pilot tried to shake off enemies and join with the refueling planes. But Saudi jets remained to snug him persistently. Both fighters are exactly the same F16 made of Lockheed Martin in US. No matter how much the Israeli pilot made full use of their aerobatics, it was impossible to detach the Saudi Arabian jets because they were the same F-16 with same flight performance.

 

Israeli pilot also couldn’t shoot down Saudi jets because air-to-air missiles could only fly straight ahead. He couldn’t shoot down Saudi Arabian jets flying beside or behind him. On the contrary, Saudi Arabian jet just behind him was able to shoot down him easily and instantly. However, Saudi jets did not show any sign of attack. The three Saudi Arabian jets continued to fly without giving Israeli jet any order.
