This time, it was an atmospheric damage effect test.
The test subject was a specially modified GJ-21 "Meteor" jet.
The Meteor Advanced Trainer had undergone in-depth modifications for unmanned flight, stripping away anything that could be discarded, even fueling only half the normal amount, reducing its weight by about 20%.
A grey-black ablative material roughly 3X3 meters in size was attached to its dorsal surface, which was the target for the Thousand-Jun Stick No. 1 to irradiate.
After extreme weight reduction, the GJ-21 would descend slightly after climbing to an altitude of 21,500 meters to achieve a speed of 2.1 Mach, maintaining it for around 20 seconds.
In the eyes of the nearby air traffic control, a drone designated as the Unmanned Meteor Trainer had taken off from the base, already reported in advance for the purpose of testing new improved engines, climbing rapidly, seemingly heading for high-altitude, high-speed tests.
