Hook smiled in agreement, and then said:

"This is just a business trip. After the mission is over, you still have to return to Kadena Base."

"I know, you don't need to remind me deliberately."

Leon said dissatisfied.

The two of them stepped off the special car together and entered the base under the guidance of representatives from the island country.

On the top of the highest mountain, Lyon saw the huge AN/TPY-2X band radar facility.

He couldn't help but sigh:

"What a masterpiece. Has this thing been debugged? Is it ready for use now?"

"In fact, it's already powered on."

Hook replied.

"The radar waves it generates are scanning the sky continuously. If any abnormality is found, whether it is 500 kilometers, 1,000 kilometers, or 2,000 kilometers away, it will immediately report the situation to the command center."

"At that time, we can make different decisions based on different target types."

"This is a major progress for us - not to mention containing the Chinese people. At least when the northern peninsula conducts experiments again in the future, we can remind their neighbors to respond in time."

Hearing this, Leon nodded slightly.

"It's indeed very good - but our mission here is not to listen to your popular science."

"I want to test whether it is as practical as you say."

"Are our targets ready?"

"It's ready. It's a modified Trident missile. The target sea area faces away from the Asian continent. We have communicated with them and informed them of the test schedule, time and intended target."

"However, it is still quite sensitive to launch such an intercontinental missile on this sea. Therefore, our external publicity is a rocket launch test from a sea platform."

Leon spat dissatisfied, and then said:

"It's really fucked--even if we tell them clearly that this is an intercontinental missile, what can they do?"

"Besides, we didn't point the target at them. Forget it, it's just testing the radar performance anyway. When can we start the exercise?"

".It's a test."

Hook corrected helplessly.

Then he continued:

"The test window is within 48 hours. Theoretically, from this moment on, you can start the test at any time."

"Then now!"

Following Leon's order, the entire "experimental team", or exercise team, immediately started operating at high speed.

A thousand kilometers away, an Ohio-class nuclear submarine surfaced. Then, the hatch of the vertical launch silo was opened, and the specially modified Trident missile without the warhead was launched.

The water splashed up to a height of ten meters. After jumping out of the water, the missile's engine immediately started, and the blazing flames evaporated all the water droplets that had not yet had time to fall.

Shrouded in white mist, the huge figure of the trident disappeared into the clear sky.

At the same time, in the AN/TPY-2 radar control center at the Aomori Prefecture base, Leon was excitedly looking at the images and numbers on the screen.

"High-speed flying object detected!"

"Speed, altitude, and direction information have been obtained and sent back to the central processor, ready to start orbit calculation!"

"Orbit calculation completed, radar tracking in progress!"

"Tracking normal. Altitude 10 kilometers."

"Tracking normal. Altitude 20 kilometers."

"The distance is 1,800 kilometers and it is about to leave the tracking range of radar No. 1."

"Understood, ready to hand over radar tracking authority, Kadena, Guam, Hawaii, please prepare."

"Transfer permissions and tracking is normal!"

Instructions were issued one after another without interruption, and the joyful look on Leon's face became more and more obvious.

This is the real THAAD!

From the second of launch, tracking of the missile never stopped.

The powerful central command system transmitted information thousands of miles away to another corner of the world in an instant, and then all the eyes that had been arranged lit up immediately.

They stared closely at the intruder, carefully calculating their trajectory.

Until the last moment, until this intruder broke through the "death line".

Subsequently, the ground-based interceptor missile took off and struck the target with a time precision that humans could never match.

The metaphor of shooting bullets with bullets cannot accurately describe the difficulty of interception.

Because the speed of interceptor missiles is far less than the speed of ballistic missiles.

As the "Intercept Successful" prompt came on, Leon's face showed undisguised pride.

"This is our strength!"

He shouted loudly to everyone in the headquarters.

This experiment not only proved the powerful strength of the AN/TPY-2 radar, but also reiterated a fact to the island country, that is:

In this world, we are the only ones who can truly master the THAAD system, only the United States!

As for the Chinese?

What industrial waste is this THAAD system they call?

It's just a shoddy product, a low-level product that's purely used to make a fool of yourself.

With that kind of thing, you actually want to compete with us in the arms market in the Asia-Pacific region?

This is a bit too whimsical.

At this moment, a trace of shame also flashed through the minds of the island nation's technicians present.

They were ashamed that they would question the most powerful country in the world, and that at a certain moment, they had thoughts of betrayal.

As a result, their expressions became more humble, and compliments to Lyon and America came out of their mouths as if they were free of charge.

——

But at this happy moment, someone in the command center suddenly exclaimed:

"There's a problem! Another missile is launched!"

Time goes back two hours.

In a military base on the southeast coast, the commander with a star on his shoulder stood in front of the missile launch vehicle painted in camouflage, and said in a slightly teasing tone:

"Before, I only saw pictures, videos, and data. I thought this thing was quite big. But now that I've come to see it on site, it's nothing more than that."

"However, this thing can actually travel two thousand kilometers? This is a bit incredible."

The technician accompanying him laughed and replied:

"Chief, what you said is true. Among the family of medium-range missiles, our DF-17 is indeed slightly smaller, but it is not much smaller."

"This entire missile uses the latest technology."

"From the waverider design, to the high-fuel ramjet engine, to the active radar homing system. In short, it can be said that this missile is the culmination of our country's most advanced missile technology."

"Flying two thousand kilometers is nothing. The point is that after flying two thousand kilometers, this thing can still maintain the hit accuracy within 50 meters. This is very advanced."

"Looking at the whole world, there are only a handful of people who can do this. I can't say there are only two."

After hearing the technician's introduction, the commander pursed his lips and said:

"Then there's still an old beauty standing next to us."

"We still need to continue to make progress and strive to leave them far behind."

After finishing speaking, the commander paused for a moment and continued:

"Of course, I'm not saying you didn't do a good job."

"In fact, what you have done is unprecedented and unprecedented."

"The credit is great. It's much greater than the big guys like us."

"It's all thanks to Starfire."

The technician said seriously.

The commander was stunned for a moment, then showed a relieved smile.

He looked at the technician beside him and asked:

"Is there any movement over in Aomori Prefecture? Has the other side's so-called 'rocket experiment' started?"

As soon as they heard about serious business, the technician's face immediately became serious.
