Chapter 228 Out of Control
Gaul observers judged from the information sent back by the drones: the four drones did not form a formation, but were scattered far away and flew separately.

The entire system of the "Predator" UAV is not cheap, and it is comparable to a real fighter.

The unit price of the "Predator" base model is between 250 million and 450 million yuan, but in fact, this price includes the price of the ground station.In other words, if the "Predator" drone is damaged, the real loss is much smaller than the loss of the fighter plane.What's more, the damage of drones will not cause casualties, so the military with deep pockets and riches took the first action when other countries were still making plans.

A typical Predator system includes four drones.

To detect the Tuagre tribe living in the desert, the four drones can clearly detect the relevant information of a tribe in every detail.

Because they may face unknown attacks, the M army operators divided the four drones into three groups.Two of the drones worked in tandem as a group, and the other two cruised independently, all three groups far apart.

In doing so, he learned the lesson of the four Tiger helicopters in Gaul being wiped out in one go.

What surprised the Gaul intelligence officer was that the "Predator" drones dispersed after they set off.

However, the Gaul intelligence officer quickly figured out the reason for the dispersion of the drones.But he didn't say anything, just quietly watching the images sent back by the drone.

The flying speed of drones is not fast, not even as fast as armed helicopters.But the ground workstation is not far from the Pengdu tribe, so it didn't take long for the drone to enter the traditional pastoral area of ​​the Pengdu tribe.

At this time, the drone has not found anything, but the ground operators all have serious expressions, as if they are facing an enemy.

The Gaul intelligence officer's eyes switched back and forth between the various display screens, hoping to find useful information.However, just as he was concentrating on watching the screen, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He turned his eyes to the operators suspiciously, and found that the expressions of all the operators were extremely horrified.

The Gallic intelligence officer asked, "What happened?"

According to regulations, ground operators only need to be responsible to their own officers, so there is no need to pay attention to the questions of the Gaul intelligence officer.But the ground operator had been hit too hard at the moment, and he answered this question subconsciously while being overwhelmed.

The operator who answered the question was shaking and his voice was trembling.

"The drone is out of control!"

The Gaul intelligence officer was stunned. Although what he saw on the screen was indeed the case, and now it has been confirmed by the ground operator, he still couldn't believe it.

When the Gaul intelligence officer hesitated, the commander of the M army on the scene shouted without thinking: "How is it possible?! You are talking nonsense! If the drone is out of control, why can it still send back image information? I will make you court-martial !"

The commander finished his roar and issued a series of orders.The operators nervously operated the instruments, contacted their superiors, and tried to regain control of the "Predator" drone.

However, all attempts by the operators were in vain.The on-site commander kept asking questions, but the operators' answers were similar, all of them were "unable to restore control" and the like.

The Gaul intelligence officer thought nervously.

Is the Predator drone really out of control?how can that be possible?Is it unreasonable at all?What's more, the on-site commander is right. If it is really out of control, why can the drone still send back images?
The Gallic intelligence officer stared at the images sent back by the drone, hoping to get some useful information from them.At this moment, he heard a groan from an operator!
The groan was full of despair.

Then, the operator let out a piercing scream.

"Drones are coming our way!...Eight Hellfires on each Predator Drone!...5 minutes to go..."

The Gaul intelligence officer suspected that this was a farce directed and performed by country M, so he turned his attention to the people of country M at the scene.

Ground operators are not front-line combatants, but more like engineers, so they are more likely to be nervous when facing life and death crises.And the drone carrying the Hellfire air-to-surface missile is flying here. From the analysis of the information on the screen, it will probably launch an attack soon.

So the scene started to become chaotic.

Operators asked to retreat one after another, but the on-site commander strongly rejected this request, forcing the operators to continue trying to regain control of the drone.One operator lost control of his emotions and began to cry.

As time went by, the panic at the scene intensified.Finally, an operator pushed the instrument away, trying to escape from the ground station.However, the commander at the scene took out a pistol and blocked the opponent's way, claiming that if the opponent did not return to the combat position, he would implement military law and shoot him on the spot as a deserter.

The operator who was blocked was crying loudly, crying "I can't do it", "I can't do it"... At the same time, his body also softened, and finally he couldn't even stand firmly and sat on the ground.

Seeing this, the Gaul intelligence officer judged: If this is a play performed by people from country M, then there are only two possibilities.

[-]. The M people present are all actors whose acting skills can win Oscars.

[-]. In order to make the effect realistic, the behind-the-scenes director even concealed it from the M country people present.

Finally, an operator shouted: "There are only fifteen kilometers left!"

The Gaul intelligence officer silently calculated.

This Hellfire air-to-ground missile hung on the Predator drone has an attack range of 500 meters to 240 kilometers.The Predator UAV has a maximum flight speed of 1 kilometers per hour.In other words, after [-] minute, the drone may launch Hellfire, and if the target of the attack is a ground workstation, it will be attacked by air-to-surface missiles in half a minute.

The intelligence officer is a military officer, so he still has courage.But thinking that this position may be attacked by missiles in a minute and a half, the intelligence officer still feels a little scared.

The intelligence officer is not under the control of the highest commander of the M army on the scene, so he can leave first.But for the sake of honor, he still stood upright.However, the intelligence officer still involuntarily shifted his sight to the top commander on site of Country M.

The commander gritted his teeth and announced, "Emergency transfer!"

So the staff in the workstation ran out of the door one after another, even the operator who was slumped on the ground just now scrambled and crawled to stay away from here as much as possible.

When the commander passed the operator who was limp on the ground, he sighed, helped him up and evacuated the ground workstation of the Predator UAV together.

After the chaos, everyone left the workstation and stayed as far away from this dangerous area as possible.
