In aerial combat, the side holding the higher altitude holds the advantage.
A greater height means initiative and more tactical options. Even in the era of beyond-visual-range missile engagements, pilots are still required to take height into account during dogfights.
"Salamanda III" occupied the superior altitude. The climbing "Fafnir" was defenseless—no matter what maneuvers she tried, it was impossible to escape the attack range.
No mercy. No hesitation. The Steel Bee unleashed a deadly storm.
Thousands of needle-like projectiles, with an initial velocity of Mach 2, enveloped the area above and around "Fafnir." To prevent interference from the Lightning Strike Technique, the Steel Bee thoughtfully increased the density of interference particles to a level that left no avenues for targeting precision.
A flawless strike.
Without outside interference, both "Fafnir" and "Heinkel" would likely have been riddled like colanders on the spot.
