Part 4/7:

At 0239 hours, the F-15i fighters reached a strategic point just south of Port Sudan. Here, in the presence of Yemeni air defenses equipped with Iranian technology, the teams executed a split maneuver. Just minutes later, the ominous blip of competing radar cones flickered on their screens, confirming their worst fears—the opposition was active, and they were now fully exposed to enemy detection.

Responding rapidly, the lead pilot activated the EL822 self-protection jammer. This onboard system emitted tailored bursts of energy across enemy radar frequencies, blurring real-time tracking data and creating actionable misdirection for ground operators. The fighters worked synchronously to deploy their countermeasures, effectively cloaking themselves in a curtain of electronic noise.
