The Frost Plating Federation pilot was satisfied as he counted the bullet holes on the fallen Red Arrow aircraft, holes created by his mecha's SS-101 electric gun just minutes ago.
The aircraft, codenamed Mozambique, carries a civil aviation code but is actually powered by the most advanced dual nuclear fusion engines, flying with reverse thrust provided by heated air, known as the 'Legless Bird' that never lands.
Nuclear-powered reconnaissance aircraft flying at high altitudes are typically hard for ground forces to trace, but due to the lowering of the Ersha Sky Curtain, the aircraft had to descend to 3,000 meters, leading it to be shot down by the anti-aircraft squad of Frost Plated mecha supporting Sky Ring.
Disguised as a civil aircraft, the Mozambique is now in a terrible state, crash-landed in the white sands, with the military emblem still palpable on the pilot's seat.
