4 hours after the supposed EMP attack. 200 kilometers away from the border town of Vilez is where an air force base is located.

Valencian Air Force Base is the home of the 7th Interceptor Wing under it, is the 13th Interceptor Squadron, the Reapers as they are fondly called. Tasked to protect Cardonia from aircraft intrusion's from the direction of Spain and France. The sleepy air base was rattled to it's core when the supposed EMP attack occured. Almost all their aircraft's are left out on the open. Thus they absorbed most of the mysterious electrical pulse, leaving different parts of the aircraft's damaged.

"You mean to say we lost all 16 of our jets?!. Whose idea is it to leave them out of the open?!", shouted a man clad in a high ranking official clothes as he breaks his cup of coffee.

"I... I believe it's your's s...sir. And... And we did not completely lost them sir, i...it would just take a little bit of time to put them back online.", a man in a mechanic jumpsuit replied.

The commander smirked at the mechanic as his frustrations are clearly visible and he said. "Mister, when I became the commander of this Squadron. It was the laughingstock of the whole armed forces. It suffered very poor readiness state, it took me literal years to get us from here. So please I am begging you get my fighter's airborne already! We are in a desperate tine that we cannot idle by!"

"Sir, we at least have 4 ready to fly on the shelters. And we have another 4 undergoing maintenance to be online in a couple of hours.", the mechanic replied.

But as the two discusses on the present situation of their aircraft's. A man burst into the Commander's office and told them.
"Commander, HQ called. They want aircrafts over the Town of Vilez and Celeb. Unindentified aircraft was supposedly spotted a  few minutes ago when the radars went back online."

"Sound the alarm, Send a four jet flight over the area.", the Commander then ordered.

The whole base was awakened by the high pitch alarm followed by the words, "Scramble, Scramble, Scramble".

Pilots began to run towards their respective posts. The mechanics ran towards the available aircraft's to double check and start the jets. Within minutes the Pilot's are already fully equipped on their gears and now racing towards the sheltered aircraft hangars.

Waiting for them are four Sukhoi Su-30's, top of the line air superiority fighters of the Cardonian Airforce. This squadron is the only major operator of Russian equipment, while the rest uses "Western" tech.

Also just in time when they are taxiing, the radio's were now working properly. The interference are beggining to slowly dissipate, making communication at least easy.

The commander then began to issue their objectives.
"It's only been 4 hours since the attack. We do not know who attacked us and their objectives. Now we got a possible lead, an unidentified aircraft was spotted inside our territory, you are tasked to intercept and if possible shoot it down."

The Su-30's began to roll down from their armored shelters. These decade old beasts have just undergone a major upgrade. With the help of the Israeli's  they were able to at least "Westernized" the Russian jets. They are now sporting Cardonian communication systems, letting them connect on the C4I network and under it's wings are a mixed of Russian and Israeli missiles.

The jets then rolled downed the runway on their afterburners. The HQ requests immediate Combat Air Patrol or CAP on their borders. When a few of the radars were back online, they've spotted something peculiar on their screens.

A large object was seen emerging from the south east of the country. The vector is facing towards the French border and a couple of towns. This could be a lead on the supposed EMP attack.
