The Artificial Whale timed its emergence from the sea perfectly, surfacing just as the F-15 Fighter Squadron flew overhead, entering the whale's optimal attack range. Launching anti-aircraft missiles from this position would achieve an effect twice as good with half the effort.
In order to figure out what exactly was happening in these waters, the United Fleet directed all its attention to this area. So, by the time the Artificial Whale made its abrupt appearance from the seabed and launched the anti-aircraft missiles at the squadron above, the entire process of its attack was captured clearly by the satellites of the United Fleet.
